Chapter 639: 639 Today, Su Ningxiang must die! [Chapter 1]

Su Ningxiang never thought that one day she would be defeated by Su Xueqing and lose her position as Family Head.

Su Ningxiang always knew that besides power, no other things or people could be relied upon.

Only by firmly grasping power in her own hands, would the remaining things naturally come to her.

If she’s not the Su Family Head, she would lose more things, which Su Ningxiang could not tolerate.

To have her lose power, might as well just let her die.

"Ningxiang!" The Su Family Great Elder shouted in anger, "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry back to rest!"

"Great Elder, along with the other elders, I’m just acting according to the rules." Su Ningxiang’s gaze was cold, "In the Family Head challenge, there’s a rule that if the challenger wins, the Young Family Head can choose an additional match, but the format will immediately upgrade to a life-and-death battle, isn’t it?"

"..."

This hidden rule indeed existed in the Family Head challenge, but because in the past three hundred years, including this event, there have only been two Family Head challenges.

And in the first Family Head challenge, the challenger didn’t even withstand the third match; after losing the first two, they were sentenced to death.

This led to the Su Family indeed forgetting about this hidden rule.

The Su Family Great Elder was silent for a moment and then sighed deeply: "Ningxiang, why insist? Even if Xueqing becomes the Family Head, she and you are sisters, working together for the future of the Su Family. Isn’t that good?"

"Doesn’t the Great Elder realize that Su Xueqing and I have reached a point of life-and-death rivalry?" Su Ningxiang’s face twisted further, she sneered, "In this Su Family, with her there cannot be me, with me there cannot be her!"

The Su Family Great Elder finally exploded in anger: "Su Ningxiang!"

After all, Family Head challenges are far too rare. Today present were not only the Su Family members but also members of other Four Great Families.

Su Ningxiang was disgracing the Su Family in front of everyone, trampling its face underfoot!

"Su Xueqing, I’m giving you a chance to kill me." Su Ningxiang’s gaze fixated solely on Su Xueqing, "Are you so cowardly, you don’t even dare to take revenge for the past?!"

Su Xueqing’s expression remained unchanged, simply watching Su Ningxiang quietly, but her heart was in turmoil.

Because Su Ningxiang’s actions today were all predicted by Ye Wanlan!

Yesterday, Ye Wanlan told her that if she won against Su Ningxiang again in the third match, then Su Ningxiang would certainly engage in a life-and-death battle with her.

At that time, Su Xueqing had some doubts about it.

As losing the Family Head challenge only meant losing the position, but losing a life-and-death battle meant losing one’s life.

But Ye Wanlan said, when someone loses power, they choose the most extreme way, as touching power means losing one’s core interests, which Su Ningxiang absolutely would not tolerate.

From the beginning to the end of the Family Head challenge, Ye Wanlan had predicted it all, including why Su Mufeng recovered from his injuries so quickly.

This matter also allowed Ye Wanlan to gauge the strength behind Su Mufeng.

"Fine, I agree." Su Xueqing retracted her thoughts, speaking coldly, "A life-and-death battle is all; you can, so can I."

"Xueqing!" This time the Su Family Great Elder was anxious, "You..."

"Great Elder, since Su Xueqing also agreed, the life-and-death battle is established." Su Ningxiang quickly spoke, "A life-and-death battle does not allow any outsiders to interfere, please prepare the arena for us, Great Elder."

Things had come to this, with so many other families watching, the Su Family Great Elder had no choice but to concede.

She reluctantly waved: "Prepare the arena."

What started as a Family Head challenge ended in a life-and-death battle, leaving the Capital Circle onlookers shocked.

"Su Ningxiang can’t accept the change in Family Head position, acting recklessly!"

"If she could have waited, she might reclaim the Family Head position from Su Xueqing in the future, why this rash action?"

"Just unclear how such a life-and-death battle will proceed with Su Family under Taiyi Palace’s influence?"

The gold and silver needles in Taiyi Medical Practitioners’ hands are intended for saving lives, but they can also kill.

Three hundred years ago, at the end of the Battle of Ten Thousand Armies, when several major sects were annihilated, Taiyi Medical Practitioners turned their needles into weapons.

Because gold and silver needles are small, attacks often come unexpectedly, similar to some secret techniques.

Su Ningxiang dared to initiate a life-and-death battle because she was sure Su Xueqing absolutely wouldn’t have martial skills.

But she was different; she had Su Mufeng as her sparring partner and now possesses some killing techniques.

As long as she kills Su Xueqing in the arena, the position of Su Family Head would not fall to anyone else!

The two stood at opposite ends of the arena, waiting for the command from the Su Family Great Elder.

"Once the life-and-death battle starts, it won’t end until one side is dead." The Su Family Great Elder said sternly, "You have three minutes to prepare."

She also realized that there’s an irreconcilable conflict between Su Ningxiang and Su Xueqing.

Between these two, the Su Family can only keep one; in reality, who survives isn’t that important.

The Su Family Great Elder sighed.

She knew Su Ningxiang was ruthless and decisive, fearing Su Xueqing might suffer a heavy blow.

Ye Wanlan stood below the arena, squinting her eyes slightly.

Things were proceeding according to her plan, but she hoped some pieces could escape her control.

Otherwise, this game would be too dull.

At this point, a voice sounded by her ear: "Miss Ye, who do you think will win this life-and-death battle?"

Without turning, Ye Wanlan knew it was Su Mufeng asking, she could feel his gaze lingering on her, seemingly wanting to see through something.

But as one who once stood above thousands, how could her thoughts be easily guessed?

"Young Master Mufeng’s physique is indeed formidable." Ye Wanlan didn’t answer his question but chuckled casually, "Enduring the torment of the Blood-sucking Heart-shattering Pill for so long, yet recovering in just three days, worthy of Medical and Martial Arts Dual Cultivation. This Su Family Head, you ought to take it for the people’s will."

Su Mufeng’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart stirred slightly.

Ye Wanlan’s words sounded as if she knew he was the designated Su Family Head.

But how could that be possible?

Even the current Su Family Elders Council and Offerants didn’t know about Su Han Yan’s existence, let alone that he was Su Han Yan’s direct descendant.

"Miss Ye’s remarks exaggerate me." Su Mufeng smiled slightly, "Taiyi Palace has always been led by women, and the Su Family has never had a male Family Head. I’m aware and won’t contend with Xueqing."

Ye Wanlan casually said, "The position of Family Head goes to the capable; whoever’s stronger can take this position, unrelated to gender."

Su Mufeng’s expression changed again.

Did those words imply that he was not as strong as Su Xueqing?

A sense of urgency grew within Su Mufeng, as he realized he still couldn’t see through Ye Wanlan, nor gain any useful information.

And now, the three minutes had passed.

"Su Xueqing, you’re falling into a trap." Su Ningxiang waved her hand, three gold needles appeared between her fingers, "You really couldn’t resist provocation, dared to accept my life-and-death battle, now leave your life here!"

With that, she didn’t wait for Su Xueqing to react and charged forward to attack.

"Swish, swish—"

The three silver needles flew out instantly, each one aiming at Su Xueqing’s vital points.

Without cultivating martial arts, it’s impossible to dodge such swift needles at such close range.

However, surprisingly, Su Xueqing didn’t dodge, instead catching the three silver needles in her palm.

"Su Ningxiang, have you considered that your challenge to a life-and-death battle today was all within the calculations?" Su Xueqing said quietly, "You swapped the Moon Tea Flower for Moon Ru Flowers, forcing me to leave the Su Family; we’ve long been in an irreconcilable conflict."

Today, Su Ningxiang must die!
