Heaven-Shocking Peak!
It’s here!
As the other protagonist in this death match, it naturally draws everyone’s attention. Even Ye Xuan, standing like a stone statue on the stage, slightly turns to look ahead.
What he sees is.
The crowd dispersing, revealing several figures.
The one walking at the forefront is none other than Su Moran, the master of Heaven-Shocking Peak. Behind her are Han Buxiu, Zheng Jiuling, Lu Yanwu, Lin Shifei, and Zhou Hai.
"Ye Qingchen is not here!"
Many can’t help but feel a shock in their hearts.
"Hmph!"
In the void.
Ye Xu Kong sees this scene and can’t help but raise the corners of her mouth. However, her expression turns icy upon seeing Han Buxiu.
The other Supreme Elders also reveal meaningful smiles.
"Ye Qingchen is not here. Could the rumors about his death be true?" someone murmurs.
About two months ago.
Zheng Jiuling and Han Buxiu, who went out with Ye Qingchen to seek fortune, suddenly returned to Taotian Palace, but Ye Qingchen was nowhere to be seen. Initially, people didn’t take it seriously, but as Ye Qingchen never returned, they realized something was amiss.
Gradually.
More people became aware that Ye Qingchen might have abandoned the fight and fled.
But who knew?
Soon after, a shocking news exploded:
Ye Qingchen perished at Extreme North Ice Crystal Lake.
At first.
People didn’t believe it, but as time passed and Ye Qingchen continued to be absent, the news started circulating privately after Su Moran began special training for Han Buxiu.
And until the death match today, Ye Qingchen still hasn’t appeared, making everyone aware that the news is likely true.
"I heard that Ye Qingchen died outside Extreme North Ice Crystal Lake, and thought it was untrue. Unexpectedly, it is real!" A disciple from Cold Star Peak said solemnly: "The one who intervened was the Luo Family Ancestor, an Earth Immortal!"
Hissss!
The words fall, and the surroundings are in an uproar.
An Earth Immortal!
An Earth Immortal intervening, how could this be trivial?
"Yet, with Ye Qingchen’s death, how will today’s death match proceed? Heaven-Shocking Peak would become a joke, wouldn’t it?" The disciple spoke, looking towards the Supreme Elders in the sky.
Indeed!
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly.
They had been eagerly waiting for three months, only for today’s death match. But now, one of them has already perished; can the match still proceed?
Even.
On the stage, Ye Xuan slightly sidelong glanced.
"Su Moran, today is the death match between Ye Qingchen and Ye Xuan from your Heaven-Shocking Peak. Why is Ye Qingchen missing? Could it be he’s playing the coward?"
Ye Xu Kong’s mocking voice echoes faintly throughout the surroundings.
As the words fall.
The other Supreme Elders sneer, and ill-natured laughter spreads everywhere.
"Hmph!"
Su Moran’s face, originally cold, becomes frosty upon hearing these words, their laughter is thunderous in their ears.
Only then do people realize, this is not a weak and deceitful woman, but someone renowned as the First Earth Immortal!
"Mr. Ye perished at Ice Crystal Lake and cannot attend this battle!" Han Buxiu spoke up.
Boom!
The words fall.
All around Void Peak, there is a momentary dead silence, then erupts into a roaring crescendo.
"Ye Qingchen is really dead?"
"Since Han Buxiu said it himself, it cannot be a lie!"
"I didn’t see Ye Qingchen die in the death match, instead heard about his demise."
Immediately.
Exclamations, mockery, and ridicule spread from every direction.
Shen Yue, among the crowd, goes pale. Earlier when she didn’t see Ye Qingchen, she still held onto a sliver of hope. But when Han Buxiu announced Ye Qingchen’s death, she realized it was indeed a nailed-on fact.
"Haha, dying in Ice Crystal Lake? What a reward for that little thief!" Ye Xuan shows a trace of taunt, his eyes full of disdain, "I originally thought he had the courage to set a three-month death match with me, but turns out he was just a bragging kid!"
Ning Yukong and Zhou Longxing hear the words, frowning deeply.
Originally.
They hoped to see Ye Qingchen’s blood spill on the stage, but his early demise shattered this wish, leaving a trace of regret.
Others shook their heads secretly.
They clearly didn’t expect such an outcome.
"However, since the death match is set, it must proceed!" When everyone thought the match would be terminated, Han Buxiu’s voice rang again: "Ye Xuan, I will fight you in place of Mr. Ye, on behalf of Heaven-Shocking Peak!"
"The rules remain unchanged, once the battle starts, it will be to the death!"
Han Buxiu said coldly.
His return from Ice Crystal Lake and acceptance of Su Moran’s training was all for this battle.
Ye Xuan frowned, quickly glanced at Su Moran. Seeing her nod in approval, he reluctantly accepts Han Buxiu as Ye Qingchen’s substitute.
"Han Buxiu wants to fight in Ye Qingchen’s place?"
"Where does he get this courage?"
"With Han Buxiu’s aptitude, he can indeed rival Ye Xuan. But being suppressed for three years, the gap is significant; how can they be compared?"
Everyone shakes their heads continuously.
However.
Ye Xuan looks down on Han Buxiu, directly turns, walking off the stage.
Clearly!
In his eyes, Han Buxiu isn’t even worthy of his action!
"Ye Xuan, stop right there!"
Seeing his attitude, Han Buxiu’s eyes flash with shame and anger. He has declared himself as Ye Qingchen’s substitute, to fight for Heaven-Shocking Peak against Ye Xuan, yet the other treats him with disdain!
In the shout, Han Buxiu steps forward.
Boom!
In an instant.
An enormous aura surges from Han Buxiu’s body.
This aura, like a passing typhoon, sweeps in all directions, forcing everyone to stumble back!
"Oh?"
Ye Xuan pauses, slightly turning his eyes.
"Half-Step Earth Immortal!"
"Han Buxiu has surprisingly reached Half-Step Earth Immortal status!"
"No wonder Han Buxiu dares to fight in Ye Qingchen’s place; he’s reached Half-Step Earth Immortal!"
And the surrounding crowd is in an uproar, evidently shocked.
They never thought.
Han Buxiu’s strength had progressed so rapidly.
Ye Xu Kong’s pupils contract; a disciple she abandoned, through Su Moran’s guidance, reached Half-Step Earth Immortal, causing her eyes to brim with murderous intent!
Swish!
At that moment.
All eyes turn towards Ye Xuan.
They want to see.
How Ye Xuan will respond to Han Buxiu, a Half-Step Earth Immortal!
"Half-Step Earth Immortal?"
At this point, unexpectedly, Ye Xuan shook his head.
"Earlier, when you wanted to replace Ye Qingchen to fight me, I wondered what courage and power supported you."
"Unexpectedly, you’ve reached Half-Step Earth Immortal! However, do you think that’s enough to challenge me?"
In the amazed gaze of the crowd, Ye Xuan said disdainfully:
"To defeat you!"
"I only need one move!"
