Chapter 2213: Chapter 2214: Stepping Onto the Life-and-Death Duel Platform! (Part 1)
The Saint Heir of Taiyi once again provocatively challenged, and Ye Qiu gave a clear response.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes turned toward the battle arena once more, knowing that a clash between Taiyi and Ye Qiu was inevitable.
Many martial artists rushed to the battle arena, eager to witness this battle firsthand.
"You are too impulsive, how could you accept the challenge?" Turquoise Pool’s Fairy said anxiously on behalf of Ye Qiu.
The Beast God also looked grave; she had confidence in Ye Qiu but understood better the terrifying strength of Taiyi.
By responding to the Saint Heir of Taiyi, it seems this trip to the deathmatch arena is unavoidable.
Since the Saint Heir of Taiyi dared to step onto the deathmatch arena, he must have great confidence, while for Ye Qiu, it’s unclear how much his strength has improved.
Even Luo Fu was persuading from the side: "Brother Ye, you are too reckless, you could definitely delay this."
Ye Qiu looked at the few people, understanding their good intentions, and smiled: "I appreciate your kindness. Since he has already reached our doorstep, to keep retreating would make it seem like I, Ye Qiu, am afraid of him. Since he wants to battle, I will accompany him. Come with me, let’s see how I kill him on the deathmatch arena?"
Then, the group headed to the battle arena, while martial artists from all over the ancient city made their way there. Even those in seclusion came out at this moment, showing the importance everyone placed on this encounter.
Among the first-tier ranks, Taiyi’s strength was unquestionable, consistently holding the top position, unable to be shaken even by Stone Demon Lord or Walker.
But Ye Qiu was very special; he suddenly returned and not only surpassed the Saint Heir of Taiyi in military merit points, but rumors had long circulated that Ye Qiu’s month-long disappearance involved a clash between the two, though the details were unclear to anyone.
All that was known was that Ye Qiu, supposedly taken out by Taiyi, had now reappeared alive, debunking the rumors.
Moreover, everyone knew a battle between the two was bound to happen.
Now, the battle is finally arriving.
People wanted to know if Ye Qiu could surpass Taiyi in strength; if after their confrontation Taiyi was truly dethroned by Ye Qiu, then undoubtedly, Ye Qiu would likely garner the favor of the order keepers.
Many even thought that the order keepers must be undecided between Ye Qiu and Taiyi.
And today, a conclusion will be reached.
The perimeter of the battle arena was crowded, nearly all young martial artists had gathered here for what was the most prominent battle.
The Saint Heir of Taiyi was already standing on the deathmatch arena.
Most people’s gaze fell upon Taiyi. Today’s Saint Heir of Taiyi was wearing white as always, with hair tied up, like a man stepping out from ancient times.
His handsome face and distinguished features made him truly outstanding.
He appeared flawless, be it appearance, height, temperament, talent, background, or realm—he was unparalleled.
Seemingly born to be the protagonist.
Anyone facing such a Taiyi would pale in comparison, which was the misfortune of those born in the same era.
Because he was too brilliant, excelling in all aspects, leaving no room for reproach.
Many sects in the ancestral land had great praise for Taiyi, considering his potential to surpass that of the initial Tai at a younger age, and believing Taiyi could become the pivotal figure of the Taiyi Daoist Sect, taking the helm in the future.
Even some powerful figures sighed, saying that the one among the younger generation most likely to surpass others would undoubtedly be Taiyi.
All of this showed how much attention was placed on Taiyi, even the Taiyi Daoist Sect increasingly valued him, hoping he could go further.
Looking at Taiyi standing there, ethereal as the wind, calm as a bell, some female martial artists were full of admiration, their eyes sparkled, while the male martial artists were a bit envious, wishing it were them.
"Surely Ye Qiu is also on his way here." Someone spoke impatiently seeing Ye Qiu had not yet appeared.
"He should be. He already responded earlier, claiming he would battle Taiyi, which surely wasn’t just talk."
"I also want to know which of them is the number one. Like Stone Demon Lord and Walker, they are too cautious, likely not a match for Taiyi, otherwise, they would’ve challenged already. The only one who could stand up to Taiyi is Ye Qiu, especially since Ye Qiu comes from Earth, and they had prior grievances."
As many discussed, their eyes searched all around, trying to spot Ye Qiu.
On the other side, because of the imminent confrontation, multiple betting booths were already set up beneath the deathmatch arena.
Many people gathered around, but opinions were divided on whom to bet.
Some believed the Saint Heir of Taiyi would win, as he had engaged with emperor demons multiple times, accumulating vast combat experience, which alone could suppress Ye Qiu.
But others immediately disagreed, believing Ye Qiu had a high chance of winning too, citing just the demon cores he acquired was evidence enough. Ye Qiu had earned over a billion military merit points, which spoke volumes about his strength. Otherwise, how could he have obtained so many demon cores? Not to mention that most of those cores were of king-level demons.
Even supreme saints couldn’t have achieved what Ye Qiu did, killing so many king-level demons.
Those betting on Ye Qiu or Taiyi were divided into two camps, each with their reasons, making the upcoming confrontation all the more anticipated.
As time slowly passed, suddenly, someone shouted that Ye Qiu had arrived, and swoosh, everyone’s gaze shifted once again.
They saw Ye Qiu and his entourage approaching unhurriedly, neither fast nor slow, as the crowd automatically parted to let Ye Qiu pass, creating open space wherever he went.
Ye Qiu stopped, his gaze fixed on Taiyi standing on the deathmatch arena, their eyes met.
"You’ve finally arrived," Taiyi said.
"I wanted to let you live a little longer, but as you wish to die sooner, I can only oblige," Ye Qiu replied.
"Heh, anyone can boast, but whether you have the strength is another matter," Taiyi said.
"Whether I do or not, you’ll find out soon. Are you ready to die?" Ye Qiu responded.
"It’s not certain who will kill whom yet."
"The one who will die is definitely you," Ye Qiu suddenly smiled and said.
"I’ll wait and see," Taiyi responded.
In their dialogue, they were already sharply confronting each other, and people naturally sensed the intense tension, certain that the forthcoming fight would be exceptionally fierce.
Swish.
Ye Qiu tapped his foot and stepped onto the deathmatch arena. At this moment, not a sound was heard from the crowd, as if even the air had frozen.
"Kill!"
Both Ye Qiu and Taiyi uttered the word simultaneously, and in an instant, the dual stars clashed!
