Chapter 231

The Sword Firmament Pavilion forbids any form of killing between disciples, and whoever dared to violate it would be killed. But if there were unresolvable grudges between disciples, they could resolve it on the Life-Death Stage with mutual agreement. Once on the stage, life and death would be out of your control. All grudges would be resolved on the stage, which meant that the winner lives while the loser dies.

People rarely came to the Bloodbanner Peak, but it was crowded today because of the Life-Death Stage between Lin Yun and Ye Liuyun. Two months ago, Lin Yun’s fame was spread throughout the Sword Firmament Pavilion after killing Wang Ning. But no one had expected him to conduct a battle on the Life-Death Stage with Ye Liuyun after he got out from the Herbal Hall.

Many of them have only heard what happened at the Nine-Star Contest, and they’ve never witnessed it themselves. So the news of Lin Yun fighting with Ye Liuyun had caused a great commotion in the Sword Firmament Pavilion. Almost all the disciples have gathered here aside from those who were out.

Despite the crowd, the group from Locket Mountain had attracted many people’s attention. Xin Yan was leading the party, displaying her perfect figure. She had a pair of chilly eyes; she was like blood rose to sway in the wind that strung people’s hearts.

Suddenly a violent gale blew, and a majestic Sword Condor descended from the sky. Wang Yan jumped off the Sword Condor with a dozen people.

“Senior Brother Wang!” Many members of the Gentlemen Union immediately came up.

“Holy! The Eight Vajras are all here!”

“I heard that they’ve been sparring with Ye Liuyun the past three days. I wonder how strong Ye Liuyun is right now!”

“Look, that Ye Liuyun!”

Ye Liuyun was the last to come down from the Sword Condor. Looking at Xin Yan opposite the Life-Death Stage, he asked, “He’s still not here? He didn’t run away, right?”

“The battle still hasn’t started yet, so what are you worried about? Lin Yun will be here on time!” Xin Yan said coldly.

“Haha! That’s hard to say. I heard that he obtained an astronomical sum of resources in the Myriad Treasure Pavilion and even took the bottle of pellets I intended to feed dogs. Who knows if he already fled from the Great Qin Empire? Xin Yan, it’s not good to be too confident right now. After all, it’ll be embarrassing if he didn’t come later.” A burst of laughter rang out with Liu Yue and Fu Guang stepping out from the crowd.

“Oh? I heard that you contributed a great portion of his resources. I’m surprised that the two of you dares to show up here after embarrassing yourselves so badly in the Myriad Treasure Pavilion!” Xin Yan smiled.

“What blasphemy! On what basis are you poking your nose into my business?” Fu Guang barked.

“Senior Sister Xin Yan, I’m not late, right?” Lin Yun walked towards Xin Yan.

“Second stage of the Profound Martial Realm!” Lin Yun’s cultivation attracted many people’s attention. After all, he had only used one month to make a breakthrough in his cultivation, and they were all surprised by his cultivating speed.

“You made a breakthrough?” Xin Yan’s eyes lit up with joy.

“It’s all thanks to the resources from Lady Liu. Otherwise, I might not be able to make a breakthrough,” replied Lin Yun.

“I’ll see how long you can last. So what if you’re in the second stage of the Profound Martial Realm? Ye Liuyun is in the pinnacle third stage of the Profound Martial Realm!” Liu Yue snorted and retreated to the side with Fu Guang. Their eyes were filled with hatred when they looked at Lin Yun. Since Lin Yun came for the battle, they naturally wanted to watch and enjoyed how Lin Yun dies today.

The atmosphere was already intense even before the battle started, and everyone began discussing the fight. No one had expected that Lin Yun would make a breakthrough in a month. Since that was the case, then it wouldn’t be a one-sided battle anymore.

But everyone still felt that Ye Liuyun would win the battle. After all, Ye Liuyun was ranked 36th of the Mortal Ranking, and he had been in the sect for two years.

Right at this moment, an old man donned in a crimson robe silently descended on the stage. His cultivation was unfathomable, and he was the Life-Death Stage’s judge. Taking out the challenge from his shirt, he declared, “Lin Yun, Ye Liuyun, get up on the stage. You guys won’t be able to go back now since your challenge is in my hand!”

“Lin Yun, remember what you promised me. I don’t wish to see you dead.” Xin Yan looked at Lin Yun with a complicated gaze.

Her words made Lin Yun paused his steps before he continued walking onto the Life-Death Stage with resolution in his eyes. Simultaneously, a silhouette descended on the stage like a meteor, producing a huge explosion with his aura sweeping out in the surrounding. This made Lin Yun’s face change slightly before he jumped to avoid the aura wave.

“What powerful aura!”

“It’s Ye Liuyun!”

“Judging from his aura, I’m afraid that he’s not any weaker compared to ordinary cultivators in the fourth stage of the Profound Martial Realm!” Everyone was shocked when they saw that person’s face after the cloud of dust settled down.

Ye Liuyun’s hair was fluttering in the wind as he said, “Where did you get the confidence to stand before me? Then again, it’s good that you’re confident. Otherwise, Senior Brother Wang, Lady Liu, and Master Fu Guang will be deeply disappointed.”

Lin Yun raised his brow and swept his gaze at the surrounding.

When Liu Yue noticed Lin Yun’s provocation, she gnashed her teeth, “What a loathsome fellow!”

“Oh? He can still smile despite facing death?” Wang Yan snorted when he saw Lin Yun’s provoking gaze directed over.

“Let’s start. There are no rules on the Life-Death Stage. The winner will live, while the loser dies!” The crimson elder swept a glance at the two challengers before he disappeared. The moment he disappeared, a murderous aura enveloped the entire Life-Death Stage.

Ye Liuyun plunged his scabbard into the ground. “Draw your sword! Otherwise, don’t blame me for not allowing you to draw your sword later!”

His voice was accompanied by a powerful sword aura that cracked the tiles on the stage. He was Ye Liuyun, 36th of the Mortal Ranking. He did not rely on any heretic means to obtain his ranking. So everyone in the surrounding could sense his arrogance and pride.

“What confidence!”

“Arrogant!”

“But then again, it makes sense for him to be arrogant. I heard that his Breakingstar Sword Art is ferocious, and in the past, it only took him a single sword to defeat those on the same cultivation as him.”

“How can Lin Yun possibly win? Ye Liuyun didn’t even consider him to be a genuine opponent.” Whispers began to sound from the crowd, which made Lin Yun narrow his eyes. Ye Liuyun was really arrogant, but did he really think that making a breakthrough in his cultivation was all Lin Yun had done?

“I don’t need to draw my sword to kill you!” Lin Yun replied coldly. If Ye Liuyun were arrogant, then he would be more arrogant than him. Since he dared to stand on the stage, he naturally had the confidence to kill Ye Liuyun.
