After a moment, Hua Qing withstood countless of fan attacks, while the stage beneath him seemed to be slightly caved in, blood flowing out of his mouth. His face had long since lost all color, and he was extremely weak.

Everyone was stunned, looking at Hua Qing who was screaming miserably, and Yi Zhou who was standing tall.

Now, do you want me to be your bodyguard? Yi Zhou stared at Hua Qing coldly.

Back then, when Hua Qing used his power to pressure him and force him to become his follower, that feeling of superiority had left a deep impression on him. Was he worthy as Hua Qing?

Hua Qing's pale face looked at Yi Zhou like he was staring at a ghost, and was speechless.

At this moment, everyone was speechless. Listening to Yi Zhou's words, it seemed that Hua Qing had wanted Yi Zhou to be his bodyguard at the beginning, but reality was like this:

Hua Qing, where did your confidence come from?

And what Yi Zhou did, who could say?

He did not use his power to suppress his opponent, Yi Zhou only had the strength of the sixth level of the Spirit Realm, but even so, Hua Qing, who had the strength of the eighth level of the Spirit Realm, was still defeated.

Amongst the crowd, Duan Tianyu's expression was cold as he stared at Yi Zhou, his heart extremely restless.

Yi Zhou actually won against Hua Qing?!

Yi Zhou had stood out among the eighty odd people when he was first at the fifth level of the mind, and then lost to Hua Qing successively. His innate strength was unparalleled, and he was definitely the pride of the heavens.

Everyone was very clear that Yi Zhou would definitely be ranked among the top five rankers in the Heavenly Fate Rankings.

Just then, everyone looked in the direction of the Profound King, only to see the Profound King smiling, and unexpectedly giving Yi Zhou a light nod in appreciation.

Yi Zhou already had a preliminary impression of him in the heart of the Profound King.

At this time, several experts of the Southern Profound Palace jumped onto the stage and carried Hua Qing off the stage, and among them was Nan Feng.

Who didn't know that there were two people in the Southern Profound Palace with the strongest aptitudes? Hua Qing and Nan Feng, and furthermore, Hua Qing was even more outstanding in comparison. However, right now, the strongest in the Southern Profound Palace, Hua Qing, was being carried off the stage.

The face of the Southern Profound Palace could be considered finished.

Many people looked towards Yi Zhou, only to see that he did not seem to have any intentions of going down. Yi Zhou raised his eyebrows, and looked at Duan Tianyu who was in the crowd.

After that, Yi Zhou gave a bright smile and said indifferently. Get down here.

As his voice fell, Duan Tianyu's eyes slightly narrowed as he coldly stared at Yi Zhou. All the experts in the vast space focused their gazes, Yi Zhou wanted to directly challenge the Duan Tianyu who was ranked second on the Heavenly Fate Rankings?

This is crazy.

Everyone was speechless. The space was so quiet, Yi Zhou actually wanted to challenge Duan Tianyu?

In the Imperial City, Duan Tianyu was an existence equal in name to His Highness Yan Chen, and only Her Highness Yan Chen was able to match up. Other than Yan Chen, they had never heard of anyone daring to challenge Duan Tianyu.

Is Yi Zhou inflated?

When Duan Tianyu heard this, he let out a calm laugh, and the corner of his mouth held a cold smile. Just as he was about to accept the challenge, a rumbling sound echoed out.

This loud sound had come from the battle for life.

Looking back, he only saw Duan Ye Xing collapsing on the ground, his Spiritual Energy seemed to have been squeezed dry, his spirit on the verge of collapse. Only after the battle with Duel did he finally understand the difference between them, it was as if they were from the heavens and earth.

Duan Xingye had been utterly defeated!

Yi Zhou laughed secretly, he turned to look at Duel Life, and the two of them smiled at each other in tacit understanding, even though the two of them did not know each other.

Duan Tianyu's expression was extremely ugly. At this point of the Martial Competition, none of the Duan Clan members who stepped onto it had advanced, and they were all eliminated by and Life Snatching Art.

How could he, Duan Tianyu, endure such a thing?

In the direction of the Duan Clan, the corners of the lips of everyone contained a sneer. In the hands of the Young Master, Yi Zhou would not have the slightest chance.

The face that their Duan Clan had lost, they would get it back.

After Yi Zhou lost to Hua Qing, he challenged Duan Tianyu, but Duan Tianyu accepted the challenge, which had already violated the rules of the Martial Competition. However, the Profound King did not ask anyone to stop him, as he was looking forward to this fight.

On the golden platform, Yi Zhou and Duan Tianyu stood in the air, their slender bodies facing each other from afar.

An extremely sharp aura enveloped their bodies, revealing their killing intent.

At this time, Yi Zhou coldly swept his eyes across Duan Tianyu, and said slowly with a sinister tone. How about a life-and-death battle?

Duan Tianyu was a little surprised. Where did this Yi Zhou get his confidence from?

Following that, the corner of Duan Tianyu's lips curled up into a cold arc, and his slender white palm fiddled with the green ring on his thumb as he said indifferently.

Using your life to wash away the shame of our Duan Clan today can be considered to be not bad.

However, after you die, you still have to add him.

As he spoke, Duan Tianyu's icy cold black eyes swept over Life Snatching. If you counted it, there were even more people who crippled his Duan Clan in Life Snatching, and they only compensated with Yi Zhou's life? That's not enough.

Even if he wanted to live, he had to die.

Duan Tianyu paused for a moment, then smiled indifferently. In this life-and-death duel, only one person survived.

As the sound of his voice faded, the entire crowd exclaimed in astonishment. These two, were actually going to have a life-and-death battle? Although both sides weren't allowed to suffer injuries during the Eastern Tomb Martial Meeting, the Imperial Family wouldn't stop them if they were willing to fight to the death.

Huangfu Yanran's eyes suddenly contracted. Yi Zhou was actually fighting to the death with Duan Tianyu over her?

Yan Chen and Yan Qingqing were also stunned. Even though Yi Zhou had an extremely strong innate talent, he was only at the sixth level of the mind. One must know that Duan Tianyu was already at the first level of the Invigorated Meridian Realm.

The difference in strength was a bit too great.

With regards to this, Profound King's expression slightly changed. He never thought that Yi Zhou would actually want a life-and-death battle. Could it be that the conflict between him and the Duan Clan had reached this level?

Hearing Duan Tianyu's confirmation, Yi Zhou turned to look at the royal family's elder and said. I hope senior can be a witness.

However, the elder only shook his head and smiled bitterly. He looked at Profound King with a cloudy gaze, obviously, he could not make the decision.

Yi Zhou also looked at Profound King, waiting for his decision.

He had seen Yi Zhou's talent in his eyes, and knew that Yi Zhou was stronger than him, but his cultivation was still insufficient to look at him, so he would suffer a loss when compared to Duan Tianyu.

But seeing Yi Zhou's resolute expression, Profound King did not reject him either. For a moment, he was unable to make a decision.

Did you really decide? Profound King looked at Yi Zhou and asked.

Yi Zhou nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Alright, I accept this life-and-death battle. The Profound King spoke clearly, her voice was deep and clear. The Imperial Family doesn't care about your grudges, but what I want to say is, grudges are limited to the martial stage. No matter who wins or loses, if I hear that someone is secretly messing with me after the Martial Competition ends, I, Yan Yulu, will not let this go lightly.

You two, do you understand? With his sharp eyes looking at Yi Zhou and Duan Tianyu, Profound King said in a low voice.

Understood.

Understood. The two of them nodded in agreement.

However, after hearing Profound King's words, a hint of warmth still flowed through Yi Zhou's heart. The Duan Clan was strong, but Yi Zhou did not have a single trace of a back.

Let's continue fighting. Profound King waved his hand and returned to his throne, quietly watching the ceremony.

The crowd immediately erupted into an uproar as they stared at the two slender figures standing in the air. The two of them were truly going to have a life-and-death battle.

Huangfu Yanran's beautiful eyes froze. Thinking about that slender figure who was about to fight, tears fell from her eyes. The grudge she had against Yi Zhou had also completely vanished at this moment. She was only moved.

In her eyes, Yi Zhou was not someone who would rashly charge forward. Since he did this, he should have his own self-confidence, right?

While he was still in shock, the two Spiritual Energy storms in the sky suddenly expanded at this moment. The sky changed color, the wind and clouds surged, and a faint sound of thunder could be heard from the sky.

Yi Zhou and Duan Tianyu looked at each other with sharp eyes, neither of them moved first.

For a woman? Are you willing to take your own life? Duan Tianyu laughed coldly, and suddenly said. It's stupid of you to do this, I have to say.

Yi Zhou shook his head, and said with a solemn face. You owe her. I'll get it all back for her.

Ask for it? Duan Tianyu's eyes flashed, and laughed. What do you want?

You owe her dignity and a slap in the face. Yi Zhou continued with an indifferent expression. Ignoring the fact that you owe her dignity, just a simple slap of the face is enough for me to ask you to repay it with your life.

With just you? Duan Tianyu's tone was cold.

Hehe, that's what Hua Qing had said before. Yi Zhou sneered. But in the end, you saw it all.

These arrogant people always liked to be so arrogant.

However, they would often not be able to afford it.

You actually compare me to him?

Yi Zhou smiled faintly. They were all arrogant and conceited people, could they not be compared together? Compared to Hua Qing, Duan Tianyu's cultivation was only slightly higher, but what was different about him?

In the next moment, Yi Zhou's black pupils suddenly became sharp and he stared at Duan Tianyu as he spoke.

The two of you really can't compare to each other, because …

You're going to die soon.

Rumble …

The moment his voice fell, roiling thunder rumbled and an indescribable Spiritual Energy pressure swept out, causing the entire world to tremble.

Yi Zhou did not speak, but blazing fighting spirit emerged in his black eyes. After that, he slowly extended his five fingers and fiercely clenched them together. Suddenly, a dense white light radiated from his body as vast amounts of spirit energy flowed onto the surface of his body.

Ka-cha.

A sound of something shattering resounded from the space Yi Zhou was standing on. The violent Spiritual Energy converged together and it was extremely strong.

, ranked second on the Destiny Decree, an existence that could stand shoulder to shoulder with His Highness Yan Chen, Yi Zhou, was extremely talented, and it was easy for him to fight someone of a higher cultivation realm.

This battle could be said to be the pinnacle of confrontation.

Yi Zhou's hawk-like black pupils firmly locked onto Duan Tianyu. In the next instant, his toes lightly tapped and his figure instantly turned into a flash of silver light as he rushed out.

Rumble …

The instant Yi Zhou's figure flashed out, the space in front of him completely exploded, and an endless amount of vast Qi rippled out a resplendent silver light.

In a single breath, Yi Zhou's figure suddenly appeared in front of Duan Tianyu. At the same time, the surrounding white light around Yi Zhou's body suddenly exploded as his five fingers formed a fist and punched out.

That fist was filled with berserk Spiritual Energy, without any fancy tricks, it was as though it possessed the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Hmph, not knowing his limits.

The terrifying power that swept towards him also made Duan Tianyu's eyes flash, as he said with a cold tone, and then, fiercely waved his sleeve.

Swish, swish …

In the next moment, a majestic wave of Spiritual Energy shot out like a huge dragon. The sound of a dragon's roar resounded through the space, and the wave of light directly collided heavily with Yi Zhou's fist.

Dong!

The instant they collided, a loud sound that seemed to possess a shocking power resounded. The space where the enormous dragon's light wave collided with the fist appeared to be caved in.
