Chapter 11 - On the Life and Death Platform, a Decisive Battle!



Chapter 11 On the Life and Death Platform, a Decisive Battle!



“Ye Xuan is here!”


Someone shouted outside Ye’s Manor, and everyone’s eyes were on the gate of Ye’s Manor.


Over there, a man wearing a long gown came out!


The man who arrived was Ye Xuan!


Seeing Ye Xuan, the face of the Great Elder of Ye’s Manor suddenly darkened and a sneer appeared at the corners of his mouth.


At the other side, the eyes of the lord of the Zhang Family, the Chatelain and the lord of the Li Family all fell on Ye Xuan.


Seeing Ye Xuan calmly moving toward the contest platform, Zhang Lie, the lord of the Zhang Family slightly nodded, “The bearing and boldness of this Ye Xuan are really good. No wonder the youths in my Zhang Family were defeated by him countless times!”


Li Yu, the lord of the Li Family, nodded, “A great person who is decisive, courageous and knowledgeable. He is a great talent. Unfortunately, there is no place for him in the Ye Family. Otherwise, if he directs the external affairs while Ye Lang directs the internal affairs, it’s not impossible for the Ye Family to become a wealthy and influential clan.”


The Chatelain said indifferently, “This narrow-minded Ye Lang is the grandson of the Great Elder who will never allow anyone to threaten his status. But the more he thinks so, the less likely the Ye Family will become a wealthy aristocratic family.”


Hearing him say that, Li Yu and Zhang Lie nodded slightly.


Aristocratic families indeed couldn’t have two leaders at the same time. However, this did not mean that there could only be one super genius in the family. In some super aristocratic families, there will usually be one who is in charge of internal affairs and another one who is in charge of external matters. As for who takes charge of internal or external affairs, that will all depend on their personal ability.


If someone wanted to play dirty, it was not impossible. But if the family was capable, those Heir Apparents and Childes would not dare mess around!


However, the Ye Family helped one genius to suppress another, cases like these were absolutely rare in the world!


Soon, Ye Xuan went to the Life and Death Platform, and opposite him was Ye Lang.


Ye Lang glanced at Ye Xuan and smiled gently. Then he looked at the Great Elder, but the Great Elder was looking at the stands not far away, where a middle-aged man and a beautiful woman were seated.


They were not from Qing City, but from Yan City and Luo City. They represented the biggest forces of their cities which the Ye Family obviously dared not offend at present!


Perceiving the eyes of the Great Elder, the middle-aged man and the beautiful woman nodded slightly to respond.


Seeing this, the Great Elder smiled a little. Of course, he knew that they were trying to befriend him. He looked down and declared, “According to the rules of the Ye Family, once on the Life and Death Platform, one should take sole responsibility for their survival, and no one can interfere! You two will compete for your life and death today. Whoever can come down from the Life and Death Platform will live. The losing side is not allowed any retaliatory action! Let’s begin!”


Start!


Ye Lang looked at Ye Xuan and smiled a little. “The same day next year is your death anniversary, you…”


Before Ye Lang’s voice fell, his face suddenly changed. Because Ye Xuan suddenly rushed toward him like a fierce tiger!


Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. “He doesn’t need an opening speech and starts directly?”


Ye Xuan had experienced countless life and death battles which made him understand a truth: Many times, people die from speaking too much!


This was a life and death competition. Do you still need to say anything before a life and death competition?


Sorry, but he did not have this rule!


Ye Xuan struck first which meant he took the lead. When he rushed to the front of Ye Lang, he had already condensed his strength and threw a punch directly at Ye Lang’s face.


Collapsed Fist!


This was a low-level martial art skill of Ye Family, but he had already attained perfection in this low-level martial art skill. He launched a punch that could collapse stones and split gold!


Detecting the power in Ye Xuan’s fist, Ye Lang’s face changed slightly. He took no chances and immediately pressed his right foot back against the ground and blocked forward with his arms crossed.


“Bang!”


With a low explosion, Ye Lang was directly shaken and retreated backward repeatedly!


Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.


“Ye Lang was defeated in the first round?”


In the stands, the Ye Family elders’ faces were abruptly ugly! Especially the Great Elder, his look turned horribly dismal!


On the contest platform, Ye Xuan succeeded in his first strike but he did not stop. Instead, he ran up and struck again at Ye Lang!


Pure physical body strength!


In a small place like Qing City, martial art skills were very rare. As a matter of fact, their fighting was actually based on physical body strength and experience most of the time!


When Ye Lang stopped, his face was extremely ugly. He had never thought that Ye Xuan’s strength would be so powerful, which was completely beyond his expectations! Seeing Ye Xuan punch again, he did not choose to block, his right hand instead clenched into a fist, and then threw it at Ye Xuan!


His fist sparkled with a dazzling shine!


A sign of the Qi Varying Realm, he had his own Qi that could improve his physical body strength!


“Bang!”


When the two fists made contact, the face of Ye Lang changed instantly. The next moment, his whole body stepped back in succession, this even made him back up a dozen meters. Those with discerning eyes could easily see that Ye Lang’s whole arm was shaking violently!


In the stands, the Great Elder and other people suddenly stood up. The eyes of the Great Elder were full of incredible colors. “Why is his strength so terrifying? This is not the strength of the fifth Self-Striving Realm!”


Li Yu and the others around all looked surprised. The strength of this Ye Xuan was indeed a bit abnormal!


On the other side, the middle-aged man and the beautiful woman from Yan City and Luo City looked at each other. Both of them had the same hint of astonishment in their eyes!


On the Life and Death Platform, after Ye Xuan beat back Ye Lang with one strike, his right foot stepped forward and his whole body rushed forward speedily.


He crossed the dozens of meters separating them in no time!


When he came to the front of Ye Lang, he supported himself with his left foot, and his right foot kicked down fiercely on Ye Lang’s shoulder!


His leg swept across, and there was a vague popping sound!


A ferocious glint flashed across Ye Lang’s eyes. He did not block the strike, instead, he just let the leg hit his shoulder. But at the same time, he punched Ye Xuan in his chest!


“Bang! Bang!”


The whole body of Ye Lang rolled a few times sideways, and Ye Xuan also stepped backed a dozen steps!


However, nothing happened to him!


He took Ye Lang’s whole punch with his physical body!


“How is it possible?”


In the stands, the Great Elder’s eyes were full of disbelief. “How is he still okay?”


On the other side, Li Yu and the other people also frowned, “This Ye Xuan took a hard punch from Ye Lang and he is actually fine!”


On the Life and Death Platform, Ye Lang was fine too because the body-armor he wore counteracted most of Ye Xuan’s strength. When he saw that Ye Xuan was also fine, Ye Lang’s brows were deeply wrinkled. “How can you still be fine?”


He used all his strength in the punch just now!


And he added the strength of Qi!


However, Ye Xuan simply took all of it!


In the distance, Ye Xuan cast a glance at Ye Lang. He slowly gripped his right hand, and his right-hand sleeve burst directly. Blue veins stood out on his whole arm, which was quite terrifying!


Ye Lang stared steadily at Ye Xuan, “You hid your strength, you…”


Speaking until that point, his pupils suddenly shrank, because Ye Xuan had already rushed before him.


“Bang!”


Under the gazes of countless people, Ye Lang once again suffered a loss, and he was directly pushed to the edge of the contest platform!


On the stand, the Great Elder said angrily, “This is a life and death competition, cut the nonsense!”


Obviously, he was extremely dissatisfied with Ye Lang!


Not to mention the Great Elder, the rest of the elders were also somewhat dissatisfied. This Ye Lang had already suffered a loss the first time, but now he still talked nonsense, it was a bit stupid!


On the Life and Death Platform, Ye Xuan did not stop, and rushed towards Ye Lang again!


In the distance, Ye Lang’s look suddenly became ferocious, and he raised his hands modestly.


“Boom!”


A powerful airflow suddenly spilled out of his body!


“It is the Qi Harnessing Realm!”


Under the platform there were lots of exclamations!


“Jesus, it is really the Qi Harnessing Realm. Is this Ye Lang just eighteen years old?” “He actually achieved the Qi Harnessing Realm!”


“He is indeed the super genius who can attract the vision of heaven and earth…”


On the stand, the Great Elder and the others finally got smiles on their faces, which were quite bright!


He glanced at the two people not far away who came from Yan City and Luo City. The middle-aged man and the beautiful woman had a hint of shock in their eyes.


Seeing this, the smile on the Great Elder’s face became more brilliant!


On the Life and Death Platform, Ye Lang looked at Ye Xuan ferociously, “Let me show you the gap between an ant like you and me!”


When his voice fell, his right foot stomped down, and his whole body rushed out like a gust of wind!


Around him, there exuded a strong airflow!


The Qi Harnessing Realm meant that he was able to harness Qi, it was not something the Physical Body Realm could compete with!


Opposite Ye Lang, Ye Xuan was expressionless. He slowly clenched his right hand, and there was a force rolling in his body like sea waves!


The Golden-Body Realm!


After reaching the Golden-Body Realm, his strength was ten times stronger than before!


In everyone’s sight, Ye Xuan rushed toward Ye Lang!


On the stand, everyone shook their heads. Undoubtedly, this Ye Xuan was fighting a hopeless battle.


A faint sneer and sarcasm hung on the Great Elder’s mouth! “Using the physical body to fight against the Qi Harnessing Realm? It is seeking death!”


Soon, in the eyes of everyone, Ye Lang and Ye Xuan were getting closer.


A brief moment of silence.


“Bang!”


In the eyes of countless people, a figure directly flew out!


Then everyone was dumbstruck!


Because the person who flew out was not Ye Xuan, but Ye Lang!


“How can it be!”


The Great Elder looked down incredulously at Ye Lang who flew out. His whole body was like a corpse!


Around the Life and Death Platform, everyone stared at the Life and Death Platform, petrified.


“He was defeated?”


“The chosen one was defeated just like this?”


On the Life and Death Platform, Ye Xuan did not stop, but continued to rush toward Ye Lang who was flying out!


“How dare you!”


At this moment, the Great Elder on the stand suddenly bellowed in anger. The next moment, he ran onto the contest platform and hit towards Ye Xuan with his palm!


Seeing the Great Elder attack, a bit of ferociousness flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes and he did not retreat, but sprinted forward and gave the Great Elder a blow!


“Bang!”


With a low explosion, the body of the Great Elder was pushed dozens of meters away!


Ye Xuan was going to continue. But at this time, the elders of Ye Family went up onto the Life and Death Platform one after another. What’s more, there were countless Ye Family guards who were armed with strong crossbows appearing around the Life and Death Platform!


Ye Xuan grasped his hands slowly. He glanced around coldly. “What? Do you want to turn this life and death competition into a brawl?”


At a distance, the Great Elder suddenly pointed at Ye Xuan in fury, “Ye Xuan, you cheated!”


Ye Xuan looked at the Great Elder, and the Great Elder angrily said, “Your Elixir Field was broken, how can you have such a great strength?”


Ye Xuan sneered, “It’s none of your business!”


Everyone, “…”
