“In a hurry?

Does this guy think he can defeat me in just a few moves?”

His expression cold, he gave a slight bow with his hands clasped: “Perfect, I am equally impatient, why don’t we start right now?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xisheng smiled and said, “That is also my wish, I wouldn’t dare to ask for more!”

He had already placed his hand on the Gentle Wind Thunder Blade at his waist.

But just as the atmosphere between the two became tense, with swords drawn and bows bent, ready to erupt at any moment, Five Elements Divine Blade Zhuang Zhengde suddenly called out, “Hold on.”

Both men frowned at this interruption and turned to look at Zhuang Zhengde.

Zhuang Zhengde faced their gazes and said with a slight smile, “Although this duel is between the two of you, it would be best to sign a Life and Death Contract, agreeing not to pursue the matter afterwards.

Moreover, I hear that Brother Chu practices Vengeful Blade Intent, which is said to be of a high realm?

Therefore, conducting this battle here, with all eyes upon us, may not be quite proper.”

Chu Xisheng’s eyes lifted in understanding of his meaning: “Senior Zhuang, rest assured, in this battle I will not use Vengeful Blade Intent!”

The characteristic of Vengeful Blade Intent is that the more enemy intent it perceives, the stronger the blade intent becomes.

At this moment, the two hundred thousand Martial Cultivators on the pier had already stimulated Chu Xisheng’s Vengeful Blade Intent to its peak.

If Chu Xisheng intended to use the blade intent to overpower others, it truly would not be an honorable victory, nor would it win the approval of Wo State’s Martial Arts community.

As for signing the Life and Death Contract, Chu Xisheng felt no repulsion to the idea.

This Five Elements Divine Blade Zhuang Zhengde really embodied the principles of ‘upholding justice and integrity.’

Preventing him from using Vengeful Blade Intent here was to maintain fairness, and the Life and Death Contract was for his protection.

After all, this was Wo State’s territory, and Bai Guangda’s family was a local noble family.

If something unexpected happened between the two men, it could lead to retaliation from the Bai family.

But with the signing of this Life and Death Contract, as long as the Bai family still wanted to remain in Jianghu, they wouldn’t pursue the matter further.

Bai Guangda, however, snorted in disdain: “Let him use that so-called Vengeful Blade Intent, what do I have to fear?”

But while he said this, his tone didn’t carry much conviction.

Bai Guangda was also roughly aware of the characteristics of the Vengeful Blade Intent.

Under the enemy intent of two hundred thousand observers on the Tianling County pier, he was indeed at a disadvantage.

Not long after, two escort masters from the Five Elements Escort Agency brought over two copies of a written ‘Life and Death Contract.’

Chu Xisheng looked at it and noticed that the end of the Life and Death Contract even bore the seal of ‘Wo State Martial Arts Tower.’

This meant that this thin sheet of paper also had the guarantee of the court’s Martial Arts Tower.

Chu Xisheng considered that Head Zhuang was indeed very thoughtful.

After carefully examining the clauses and finding no issues, he promptly signed and affixed his seal.

Zhuang Zhengde, seeing that both men had signed their names and were standing about ten feet apart, stroked his beard with one hand and held a Copper Coin in the other: “Both of you, pay attention!

We shall still use the old rules of Jianghu—the duel begins only when the coin falls.

Anyone who breaks the rule is deemed defeated.

I also hope that you both will stop at the right moment, as this duel is about comparing skills, not a fight to the death.”

As his words fell, he flicked his finger, sending the Copper Coin spinning high into the air.

Meanwhile, Zhuang Zhengde’s eyes widened as he observed the movements of the two men, while his right hand grasped the Straight Blade at his waist.

Both of these young men, one the son of an old friend with exceptional talent and the other known for his high sense of honor, which he deeply admired, were exceedingly outstanding young heroes.

It would be a pity if either fell here.

If Zhuang Zhengde hadn’t come to oversee the duel today, that would be one thing, but now that he was here, he intended to handle the matter thoroughly and carefully.

The Copper Coin buzzed as it flew twenty feet into the air before beginning its slow descent.

At that time, the crowd watching outside the arena was still buzzing like thunder.

“They’re starting already?

That was fast!”

“These two are straightforward.

No nonsense talk!”

“Young Hero Bai!

This fellow surnamed Chu is so arrogant.

Please use some force and let him recognize the prowess of Wo State’s Martial Arts.”

“Young Hero Bai, take him down!”

“Twenty moves!

I bet Young Hero Bai will win within twenty moves.”

“Who needs twenty moves?

Ten, at most ten moves!

You haven’t seen Bai Guangda’s ‘Divine Power Saber,’ it’s incredibly sharp!”

Actually, at that time, there weren’t many people under the platform.

Due to visual limitations, beyond a certain distance from the platform, it was impossible to see what was happening above.

Therefore, many people climbed onto the rooftops or large ships docked at the pier, and some even stood on the tops of trees and masts.

They whispered to each other or talked loudly, sometimes shouting at the top of their lungs.

However, as the Copper Coin fell to about two fathoms from the ground,

everyone around the pier unconsciously stopped talking, turning all their attention to the platform above.

Bai Guangda also couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, the veins on his hand holding the saber bulging as he waited for the moment the Copper Coin hit the ground.

His nickname ‘Divine Power Saber’ spoke for itself—Bai Guangda possessed an exaggerated ancestral strength, incomparable in the same realm, and no one could confront him head-on.

However, based on intelligence, his current opponent had a fast sword, primarily mastering the Formless Divine Sect’s Chasing Wind Saber and Chasing Lightning Finger.

His Chasing Wind Saber was said to have reached the Sixth Layer, indicating how fast the sword speed must be.

Bai Guangda had to be fully alert; as long as he wasn’t completely dominated by the sword speed, he was confident that he could knock his opponent off the platform within three moves.

“Plop!”

“Clang!”

The first sound was that of the Copper Coin hitting the ground.

After doing so, the coin wobbled a few times before rolling down under the Stone Platform.
