Chapter 667: Chapter 593 Ye Fan Battles Emperor Bai II

Sensing those astonished gazes, Ye Fan’s expression still looked very relaxed, as if he wasn’t here to participate in a life-and-death battle, but more like he was here to watch the match.

Ye Fan’s calm demeanor and relaxed expression intensified the curiosity in everyone’s hearts, but they couldn’t figure out what Ye Fan was relying on.

"Elder Hua, as far as I know, Du Sect claims there is no bet they would not take. Could it be that today you intend to make an exception?"

Chu Ji spoke up again. Yesterday, she had witnessed Ye Fan’s strength and was convinced that victory was his.

"Cough cough... Demon Queen, your great name is widely known; you are the dream lover of many, and your value is immeasurable. Betting yourself, I honestly can’t estimate how many Essence Stones you are worth."

Although Elder Hua believed that Ye Fan was definitely not a match for Emperor Bai, who had broken through to the Gang Qi Introduction Realm, when he heard Chu Ji’s words again, his confidence shook.

A voice inside his head told him that if Ye Fan truly had no backup and was bound to lose, then Lv Zhan would never bet so recklessly before the match, and Chu Ji wouldn’t stake herself as a bet!

All this made him dare not hastily accept Chu Ji’s bet, opting instead for an indirect refusal.

"Giggle... Elder Hua, it seems you are scared."

Hearing this, Chu Ji revealed her signature enchanting smile that could kill without seeking restitution, but she did not insist on continuing to raise the stakes.

For her, making bets to earn Essence Stones was secondary; the main purpose was to build momentum for Ye Fan!

"——"

Faced with Chu Ji’s provocation, Elder Hua wisely chose to remain silent.

Could it be that there was still suspense in today’s life-and-death battle?

If the actions of Lv Zhan and Chu Ji had only initially made everyone doubt whether Ye Fan had the strength to battle Emperor Bai, who had broken through to the Gang Qi Introduction Realm, then now, almost everyone vaguely felt that this life-and-death battle would not be as simple as they had anticipated!

This only made them look forward to the upcoming battle between Ye Fan and Emperor Bai even more!

A while later, under the puzzled stares of the crowd, Ye Fan arrived at the spectator seats accompanied by Chu Ji and others. He sat down calmly, waiting for Emperor Bai to arrive.

Hu!

Hu!

At eight o’clock, two currents of air appeared above Tian Shan Sword Sect, whistling toward the center of the square and the fighting platform.

One of those currents was vaguely tinged with red. Inside that flow, Emperor Bai, his back carrying the blood-red Bloodthirsty Mad Blade, had his long hair fluttering in the wind. His blood-red pupils were shooting light in all directions, fixated on Ye Fan in the spectator seats, not concealing his war intent and murderous aura!

In the other air current, Jiang Ying clasped Jiang Yurong’s arm, staring at Ye Fan, Zhe Xuanji, and Su Liuli in the spectators’ seats with a sneer, as if looking at three dead people.

Shua!

In an instant, the two currents of air reached above the spectator seats. Jie Dao, Jiang Yurong, and Jiang Ying drifted down gently, while Emperor Bai leaped into the air toward the platform, his speed as fast as lightning.

Pa!

A crisp sound followed as Emperor Bai landed, and the ground under his feet cracked, forming a dense spiderweb-like pattern.

"Ye Family scum, come up here and face your death!"

Suddenly, as all eyes were focused on Emperor Bai, he glared at Ye Fan with a gaze as sharp as a knife and was the first to speak out. His voice was loud and clear, resounding across the entire Tian Shan Sword Sect square.

As his words fell, Emperor Bai was enveloped by a dense Blood Qi. His fighting spirit and murderous intent completely exploded, as if a sharp treasure sword had been unsheathed and a War God had descended, giving off an air of unrivaled dominance!

Such a powerful aura!

Feeling the invincible aura emanating from Emperor Bai from the inside out, even many strong people in the spectator seats changed their expressions.

Shua!

Sometime later, the crowd simultaneously turned their gaze to Ye Fan, eager to see his reaction.

In the spectator seats, Ye Fan slowly stood up, his face fearless, his complexion calm as water.

"Ye Fan, are you sure you want to engage in a life-and-death battle with Emperor Bai?"

Before Ye Fan could step onto the platform, Gu Yun stood up and asked.

Although he could see that the battle was inevitable, as the chief referee of the Qing bang competition, he had to fulfill his duty and follow proper protocol.

"Yes."

Ye Fan nodded lightly, his voice not loud, yet clear enough for everyone to hear.

"If that is the case, then the upcoming match will not have a referee. Each of you will rely on your own ability, and fate will determine life or death. After the match, no matter which side wins, the other side must not seek revenge, or else the Yanhuang Organization will impose severe punishment!" Gu Yun spoke again, his expression serious, his voice resonant and forceful.

"Elder Gu, you worry too much. After this battle, not only will that Ye Family bastard die, but his master Zhe Xuanji will also have to commit suicide on the spot. There’s no talk of revenge to begin with,"

Emperor Bai responded confidently and domineeringly, even looking at Gu Yun with a gaze that regarded himself as a strong person on the same level as Gu Yun.

"Please be assured, Elder Gu, I will strictly adhere to Yanhuang Organization’s regulations regarding life-and-death battles,"

Unlike Emperor Bai, Ye Fan did not show any arrogance, but was very polite to Gu Yun.

"Alright, Ye Fan, please come to the stage!"

Seeing that neither party had any objections, Gu Yun no longer wasted time and was ready to announce the start of the match as soon as Ye Fan stepped onto the stage.

"Wait a moment."

As Gu Yun’s voice faded, Ye Fan was about to move, but saw Chu Ji stand up, a sneer on her face as she stared at Jie Dao and said, "My master made it clear that he would absolutely not interfere in this life-and-death battle, even publicly betting his own life to show his resolve. Yet, Sword King, you haven’t even let out a fart—are you planning to intervene in the match?"

"You insolent wretch, it’s not your place to speak! And tell your master to teach you how to respect your elders!" Jie Dao’s face changed, and he responded coldly.

"You can’t even give a straight answer, which makes it seem like you do indeed have such intentions," Chu Ji sneered sarcastically.

"Does my master need to get involved?"

This time, without waiting for Jie Dao to speak, Emperor Bai retorted in a deep voice, taking on Chu Ji.

"Child, that’s what you think, but your master doesn’t see it that way. By my estimation, he has no confidence in you, otherwise, he would have already staked his life on your victory like my master did, firmly believing in his disciple’s success!"

Chu Ji smiled disdainfully, having already learned of Zhe Xuanji’s bet on his life, and naturally was not about to let Jie Dao off easy, deliberately provoking and goading him before the match.

It must be said that Chu Ji, known as the Demon Queen, had exceptional emotional intelligence. With her words, she had backed Jie Dao into a corner—if Jie Dao dared not bet his head, it would imply he had no confidence in Emperor Bai!

"No confidence? What a joke!"

As expected, Jie Dao, having no other option, was forced into the hole Chu Ji had dug, declaring coldly, "If my disciple, Emperor Bai, loses this battle, I will take my own life on Mount Tian!"

"Good, good, good, let everyone here be the witness, so that Jie Dao, the old codger, can’t back out later."

Having achieved her goal, Chu Ji loudly reminded everyone, then shifted her gaze to Jiang Ying beside Jie Dao, "Jiang Family’s little brat, what about you?"

"You... what do you mean?"

Jiang Ying glared back furiously; although she was younger than Chu Ji, she believed her strength was not inferior to Chu Ji’s and could not tolerate being referred to as a little brat.

"My meaning is quite simple. The Supreme Heir of the Buddhist Order fancies my nephew and, to retort the doubts of the world, dares to bet her own life, to live or die together with my nephew."

Chu Ji deliberately taunted, "Yet you keep saying you like your brother Emperor Bai, but you don’t believe he can win the match. By my view, your love for him is cheaper than a harlot’s virtue..."

"You... you’re spouting nonsense!" Jiang Ying burst out in rage, "Who says I don’t believe in brother Emperor Bai?"

"If you believe in him, why don’t you dare to bet your life?" Chu Ji sneered.

"Little Ying..."

For some reason, seeing Chu Ji goad Jiang Ying to bet her life, Jiang Yurong, who was fully confident in Emperor Bai, felt a sudden sense of dread and instinctively tried to stop Jiang Ying.

However—

Before Jiang Yurong could finish her sentence, Jiang Ying angrily retorted, "A bet is a bet, what would I be afraid of? If brother Emperor Bai loses this battle, I’ll die with him!"

"Good, that’s the spirit, I like it."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ji smiled, patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, and said, "Alright, my good nephew, your aunt has brought you two more people to accompany the Bai Family’s little brat in death, you may go and grant him death now!"

"Uh..."

Spectators were astonished to see how Chu Ji, in just a few words, pressured both Jie Dao and Jiang Ying into staking their lives for Emperor Bai.

After the shock subsided, the cultivators and audience members in the outer ring of the arena, as well as the various strong people present, all silently marveled—truly, the reputation of the Demon Queen was well deserved; there was no negotiating with her when it came to schemes.

Whoosh!

Ye Fan didn’t waste words. With a flicker at his feet, his body shot forward, reaching the stage in two steps, standing a hundred meters away from Emperor Bai. He quickly composed his consciousness, adjusting his spiritual energy to its optimum state.

"Yesterday, I told you that if you couldn’t bring me any new surprises, this battle would hold no suspense."

"Today, however, the situation has changed—regardless of whether you can bring surprises or not, the outcome of this battle is already destined!"

Seeing Ye Fan take to the stage, Emperor Bai immediately locked onto Ye Fan’s presence, his gaze fixed on Ye Fan like lightning, with an air of total control, "But... I will give you a chance to display your Extreme Combat Power and to be thoroughly convinced in your defeat."

"I also told you that today, according to plan, I will take your head!"

Ye Fan responded, his voice not loud, but enough for everyone to hear.

"Hahaha... Hahahaha... Hahahahaha..."

On hearing this, Emperor Bai reacted as if he had heard the coldest joke in the world, laughing uproariously, then stared intently at Ye Fan, "And what gives you that right?"

"Because at the same realm, killing you is like slaughtering a chicken! And because, when it comes to killing you, there’s no suspense, even if I were a level lower!"

Ye Fan suddenly shouted, his voice like a tiger’s roar, as if to scatter the dark clouds above the square.

This moment.

He was no longer keeping a low profile!

He was going to utterly crush Emperor Bai with the most domineering approach!!
