Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 919: Chapter 920: Life and Death Contract! (2 Updates)

“Greetings, Empress Dowager!”

All the ministers and spectators present to witness the event knelt in respect, not daring to offend the royal presence.

Beside the Empress Dowager, apart from the eunuchs and maids, stood a young girl who bore a striking resemblance to the Empress Dowager, covered with a light veil revealing only the upper part of her face.

This young girl was naturally Yaan Shuying, the Empress Dowager’s extraordinarily beloved external granddaughter.

An ugly wild boar had been drawn on her face by a Despicable Donkey, leaving her too embarrassed to show her face, hence the veil.

At this moment, Yaan Shuying specifically looked in Ling Feng’s direction, her beautiful eyes aflame with fury, wishing she could skin Ling Feng alive.

Unfortunately for her, she was confined by the Empress Dowager, and if she hadn’t begged and pleaded, the Empress Dowager might not have even allowed her to attend the match.

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, her peerless countenance tinged with an aura of sanctity. Supported by the Sky White Monarch, she slowly walked to the front of the phoenix throne, sitting alongside him with poise and regal elegance, exuding the demeanor of a mother of the nation.

“Everyone, rise.”

Sky White Monarch lifted his hand slightly and proclaimed, “Today is a great day for the Empire to select talents. There are no monarchs or ministers; today’s stars are solely the ten swordmen on the Sword Fighting Platform!”

“His Majesty is wise!”

The crowd responded in unison, slowly standing and returning to their places.

The Empress Dowager cast a subtle glance at Ling Feng, surprised that he had managed to lead the Sky Peak Sword Team through the competition to this point.

However, the ultimate victory would surely belong to the Royal Sword Team.

After all, every member of the Royal Sword Team was a Divine Origin Realm expert, not to mention the unfathomable strength of Xuanyuan Pozhen and the Fourth Prince Moo Yan.

No matter how one looked at it, the Sky Peak Sword Team stood no chance. Even with Ling Feng’s remarkable talent, he could not turn the tides alone.

Once Ling Feng lost the bet with Yaan Jinghong, she would soon coerce him into revealing the secrets of the Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Scripture.

With this thought, the Empress Dowager’s eyes glinted with a trace of excitement.

Finally, when the sun shone brightly overhead, noon had arrived.

The host for the ultimate battle was the chief eunuch of the Imperial Palace, Eunuch Lee. Though a eunuch, his mastery of Vajra Child Skill was impressive, and it was said his strength had reached the Half-step Human Emperor level.

“The hour has arrived. Both Sword Teams, please take your positions.”

With a sharp, thin voice, Eunuch Lee called out, and though mildly toned, his voice resounded throughout the audience, distinctly reaching everyone’s ears.

The Royal Sword Team, led by the Fourth Prince, ascended the platform with ease, indifferent to their opponent as they believed they could crush them effortlessly.

The Sky Peak Sword Team, led by Vice-captain Gong Cheng, ascended slowly, revealing a new face among their ranks.

Mu Qianxue!

At the moment, Mu Qianxue held a pure white treasure sword like snow, a divine weapon transformed by Black Cat Ye Yi.

The audience below erupted in exclamations upon seeing this new face.

“It seems the Flag Guard of the Sky Peak Sword Team is no longer Xue Xiaolin! That makes sense; while Xue Xiaolin’s support skills are decent, her defensive abilities were too weak. Against ordinary opponents, she managed, but against the Royal Sword Team, it was a lost cause!”

“Who would have thought the Sky Peak Sword Team had been hiding such a trump card? I wonder how capable this mysterious girl is?”

“No matter how capable, against the Royal Sword Team, defeat is inevitable!”

“…”

Below the stage, countless spectators engaged in fervent discussions; although the final match had not started, the atmosphere was already boiling.

“What’s this? Has your useless captain had his leg broken, unable to appear?”

The Fourth Prince scanned the Sky Peak Sword Team members with a sneer, his gaze finally resting on Ling Feng as he said coldly, “Ling Feng, you’ll regret your decision!”

Ling Feng ignored the Fourth Prince, extending his palm while focusing on his teammates. Subsequently, Mu Qianxue, Jiang Xiaofan, Lee Bufan, and Gong Cheng placed their hands together, unleashing an earth-shattering roar.

“Victory is certain!”

They had awaited this battle for a very long time.

“A bunch of trash dare claim such certainty?”

The Fourth Prince’s eyes flickered with a trace of malice as he clenched his fists, saying coldly, “Ling Feng, you will pay for your lack of judgment!”

Yaan Jinghong also sneered continuously, a gleam of disdain curving his lips as he pointed at Ling Feng, speaking with icy resolve, “Prince, may I kill him?”

“As you please!” The Fourth Prince’s face remained expressionless, “If he’s of no use to me, then let him die!”

“Thank you, Your Highness, for allowing this!”

Yaan Jinghong clenched his fist. Never had anyone’s rapid growth unnerved him, but Ling Feng made him feel a constant pricking sensation.

From a mere ant that could be squashed at the beginning, to now standing as his opponent in just over a year.

This deeply unsettled him. If allowed to grow further, the legendary talent of the Sky White Empire would bear the name Ling!

“Order!”

Eunuch Lee, holding a delicate gesture, restored order, then continued, “Due to the life and death bet between Yaan Jinghong of the Royal Sword Team and Young Master Ling of the Sky Peak Sword Team, the two must first sign the Life and Death Contract before the match begins. With the signing, life and death shall follow fate, and none shall be blamed.”

With that, Eunuch Lee drew a silk cloth from his sleeve, revealing the contents of the Life and Death Contract, which hovered steadily in the center of the platform under his Primordial Qi control.

Without hesitation, Ling Feng and Yaan Jinghong swiftly approached the silk, biting their fingers to press their fingerprints upon it.

“Ling Feng, I will show you what it means to wish for death beyond living! Everything you gained from the God Demon Battlefield will ultimately be mine!”

As they met, a murderous glint flashed in Yaan Jinghong’s eyes as he stared fiercely at Ling Feng.

“You dare?”

Ling Feng completely disregarded Yaan Jinghong’s predatory glare, nonchalantly shrugged, then returned to his team’s side.

“Shua!”

Eunuch Lee waved his hand to retrieve the Life and Death Contract, nodding slightly, his voice finely delicate as he said, “Good, the Life and Death Contract is set. The match shall officially begin—”
