The Arrogant Immortal
Chapter 326 - 325 Regardless of Life or Death

Chapter 326: Chapter 325 Regardless of Life or Death

Tianxu Sect Inner Sect, Battle Peak.

It was similar to the Battle Peaks outside, yet it was more than double in size. In the middle of the plaza at the peak, a Power Ranking board still stood boldly.

Today, the place was bustling with crowds.

Many disciples had arrived just as the sky began to lighten.

At this moment, there were still a considerable number of disciples hurrying toward Battle Peak.

Xie Jiuniang, the person involved in the upcoming event, collided with someone on the way there. It wasn’t really her fault; a Foundation Establishment Disciple riding a sword suddenly darted out just as Little Immortal Crane was flying forward.

Unable to avoid the collision in time, Little Immortal Crane crashed into the disciple.

"Quawk!"

Little Immortal Crane let out a startled cry.

Sweeping the area with her Divine Sense, Xie Jiuniang noticed that one of Little Immortal Crane’s legs was injured. It wasn’t very serious, but it was still extremely annoying.

Song Baobao was furious, "What are you doing? Rushing to be reincarnated or something?"

The disciple hurriedly apologized, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, oh, Little Profiteer it’s you... uh, Senior Yuanxi, hello."

Under Xie Jiuniang’s deadly glare.

The disciple quickly compensated with all the Elixirs he had on him for Little Immortal Crane’s injury, and the matter was considered resolved.

Xie Jiuniang suspected the disciple did it on purpose.

However, even after checking herself over for a long time, she couldn’t find anything wrong.

Xie Jiuniang contacted Jian Lingyan with her consciousness: "Little Jianjian, did he do it on purpose?"

"That disciple was trying to avoid another disciple and ended up colliding with you, it doesn’t seem intentional." Jian Lingyan wasn’t making excuses for the disciple.

It was just that today’s Tianxu Sect was unusually boisterous.

Many disciples were flying around on swords in the sky, and even the Immortal Cranes from Crane Garden were in high demand, being kept incredibly busy. The number of people flying back and forth in the air was the highest it had been in this period.

Accidents weren’t exclusive to Xie Jiuniang today.

Xie Jiuniang had Little Immortal Crane take a Healing Pill.

Xuanyuan You called over a junior disciple and asked him to take Little Immortal Crane to Crane Garden for treatment.

Xie Jiuniang decided not to keep a low profile any longer and switched to riding a sword herself.

Suddenly, Xuanyuan You focused his energy in his Dantian and used his cultivation base to shout, "Make way! Disciples in front, make way. Little Profiteer is headed to Battle Peak, passing through, passing through, all unrelated folks please step aside!"

"Step aside! Step aside!"

Song Baobao followed, shouting loudly.

One on each side, they escorted her to the center, clearing the way with an arrogant attitude.

They had the presence, making a high-profile departure.

As the person involved, Xie Jiuniang tried hard to appear calm and composed, steady and reliable.

Compared to the two in front, she looked like a normal person, definitely not the unreliable, arrogant type. And it wasn’t she who asked them to clear the way.

Really, it wasn’t her idea.

Powerful individuals secretly observing this trio couldn’t help but laugh.

Xiaoyuan said with a chuckle, "Guangcheng, your boy is quite interesting, living so freely and boldly."

"Your disciple is not far behind," replied Guangcheng with a composed attitude.

That comment left Xiaoyuan at a loss for words.

Both are just as troublesome, big brother need not make fun of the second brother.

Another Divinity Transformation stage cultivator laughed, "With today’s event, if the Xuanyuan lad doesn’t stir up some trouble, I think Guangcheng might find it unusual, hahaha."

"Actually, it’s fine, he’s quite a lively lad," another Divinity Transformation cultivator commented.

The three youngsters together, birds of a feather.

They might be a bit boisterous, but they kept it within bounds, without committing any grave mistakes.

Meanwhile.

Xie Jiuniang arrived at Battle Peak right on time.

On the biggest Grace Platform, also known as the Life and Death Platform, Lin Ba was already standing there with his sword, awaiting Xie Jiuniang’s arrival, surrounded by a throng of disciples eager to watch the battle.

A dense sea of heads.

The crowd was dozens of times larger than on a normal day.

The person capable of drawing such a crowd was naturally not Lin Ba, but Xie Jiuniang.

At this point, in everyone’s eyes.

There was an enlarged Broken Sword, the mysterious Dragon Head Sword, quietly suspended above the platform. The sword body was enigmatic, occasionally wrapped in a faint blue glow.

On the sword was a person wearing the Tianxu Sect Direct Disciple Robe.

With hands clasped behind, she stood proudly.

This entrance, quite stylish.

"Little Profiteer!"

"Get on the platform! Up there, you must win!"

"Little Profiteer, you must win, I’ve bet all my Spirit Stones on you! If you lose, I’ll cry at your grave!" someone suddenly shouted from the crowd.

Xie Jiuniang, "..."

Dear brother, thank you so much, thank you for being such a dutiful son!

"Dang!"

The bell below the platform rang.

The hour had come.

Xie Jiuniang stepped out with Broken Sword

In midair, several meters up, she truly seemed to be stepping onto solid ground.

It was effortless and graceful to the extreme.

Almost at the same time, Broken Sword was in her grasp, then vanished.

After that, she stood with hands clasped behind her back.

The Sect Elder responsible for the platform ascended.

As a matter of routine, he asked both sides for their conditions and signed the life and death agreement anew.

The Sect Elder announced loudly atop the platform, "Today, Fafeng Disciple Lin Ba challenges Main Peak Disciple Yuanxi, Yuanxi has accepted the challenge. Both contestants should be aware, upon ascending the Grace Platform, once the battle is over, regardless of life or death, all grievances shall dissipate."

"Begin!"

The Sect Elder teleported off the platform and activated the array barrier above it.

This was to prevent the clash on the platform from affecting those below.

At this moment, only two remained on the platform.

Under the watchful eyes of all, they should have exchanged a few words of courtesy, demonstrating martial virtue.

But they didn’t!

The moment the platform’s array barrier activated, the hands Xie Jiuniang had kept behind her back flashed, and ten Explosive Jade Medallions appeared between her fingers.

She hurled them at Lin Ba in unison.

At the same time, Lin Ba, a Sword Cultivator, unexpectedly discarded his Heavy Sword and threw a Thunder Explosive Bead at Xie Jiuniang first.

Damn!

What kind of tactic is this?

Incredible!

This wasn’t a battle to challenge someone.

It was to take the first opportunity to send the opponent to their demise.

People around took in a sharp breath of cold air.

Xie Jiuniang had already flashed to the edge and disappeared into the Small Tortoise Shell in an instant.

A massive explosion roared on the platform.

The number one platform that hadn’t been shaken for a thousand years was now unstable because of the array barrier; it quaked for a long while before gradually steadying.

Two huge pits were blasted into the platform surface.

As the dust and smoke inside dissipated.

Surprisingly, both were unharmed.

Xie Jiuniang’s defense was formidable, and some spectators were aware as she had specially crafted a Small Tortoise Shell; it was no secret that it was her Exclusive Magic Treasure.

But this Lin Ba was a surprise.

That level of explosion might not even be something a Nascent Soul could withstand.

Yet Lin Ba bore it, and appeared completely unscathed.

Jian Lingyan reminded Xie Jiuniang, "Master, this person has a powerful Protective Magical Instrument on him."

"That’s expected."

Xie Jiuniang was not caught off guard.

Those pulling strings behind the scenes, facing a battle with her, would have made all the necessary preparations before sending down the challenge, by any means necessary.

Otherwise, would they let a Golden Core go to the platform just to be easily defeated?

After all, she had truly killed Nascent Souls and even trapped Divinity Transformations to death.

Anyone with a brain wouldn’t naively think a Golden Core could kill her.

Therefore, Lin Ba must have a move up his sleeve.
