Watching the little girl's departing figure, Ye Feng revealed a knowing smile.

Gao Chenghe and Gao Meizhi were still discussing things in the inner courtyard when the little girl ran in shouting, "Grand Ancestor, the spirit is here!" which startled them.

"Why are you shouting like that, Sparrow?" Gao Meizhi said irritably.

"Mother, the Ancestor has appeared to us! Look, this is what the Ancestor gave me!"

The little girl raised her hands, showing Gao Meizhi the drop of blood in her palm.

Gao Meizhi was shocked to see the bright red and golden blood bead floating in the little girl's hand.

And Gao Chenghe also came over.

"Chenghe, look! There's a drop of blood on Que'er's palm!" Gao Meizhi said quickly.

“I saw it.”

Gao Chenghe nodded and reached out his hand to take the drop of golden-red blood from the little girl's hand for a closer examination.

However, as soon as his hand approached, the drop of golden-red blood seemed to come alive and jumped over, not only landing on his hand but also before it entered his palm.

Gao Chenghe immediately felt as if an electric current was flowing through his entire body, and his body trembled.

When Gao Chenghe withdrew his hand, he noticed a lightning bolt pattern on the back of his hand.

"What exactly is going on?"

Gao Chenghe stared at the lightning patterns on the back of his hand, utterly shocked.

However, no matter how he examined himself, he found nothing unusual.

Just like the lightning bolt pattern on the back of the hand is just an ordinary tattoo, without any special effect.

"Sparrow, where did you get that drop of blood from?" Gao Chenghe asked hurriedly.

"It was given to me by our ancestor. I told our ancestor to bless you, and then our ancestor gave me that," the little girl said happily.

Gao Chenghe and Gao Meizhi looked at each other, speechless for a long time.

The day of the life-or-death struggle has arrived.

The square outside the Blackfish City Lord's Mansion was packed with people, with at least tens of thousands of people coming to watch.

After all, the Gao family and the Liu family are two major families in Blackfish City, and their feud has been going on for a long time. Now that the heads of the two families are having a life-or-death battle here, it will naturally attract countless onlookers.

"Why haven't the heads of the Liu and Gao families arrived yet?"

"Yes, the time for the duel to the death is almost here."

"Could it be that both of them have changed their minds?"

Just then, a large group of people came from a distance.

These people were all from the Liu family, and the leader was Liu Yuquan, who had previously broken into the Gao family but was injured by Gao Chenghe.

Upon seeing the Liu family arrive, the people of Blackfish City became excited.

The Liu family has arrived; how far behind can the Gao family be?

Sure enough, the Gao family also arrived.

In comparison, there were far fewer members of the Gao family than the Liu family here, which shows that the Gao family's foundation was not as strong as the Liu family's. Otherwise, the Gao family would not have been driven to a dead end by the Liu family before.

But today is a life-or-death struggle between the heads of the Liu and Gao families, so the depth of their family backgrounds is irrelevant.

"Dad, you have to keep it up!"

The little girl clenched her fists and said, cheering on Gao Chenghe.

"I will."

Gao Chenghe said heavily.

Gao Meizhi looked worried, but in the end she only gave him a word of advice.

Two loud bangs rang out.

Gao Chenghe and Liu Yuquan stood on the ring, facing each other ten steps apart.

The people of Blackfish City were extremely excited, after all, Blackfish City was just a small city, and nothing major happened throughout the year.

The life-or-death battle between Liu Yuquan, the head of the Liu family, and Gao Chenghe, the head of the Gao family, is undoubtedly the most significant event in Blackfish City this year!

"They're about to fight! They're about to fight!"

"It was worth waiting here for an hour."

"I wonder which of the two will survive?"

"I think it's the head of the Liu family."

“That’s right. Although the Gao family head also broke through to the True Yuan Realm, he didn’t spend as long in the True Yuan Realm as the Liu family head, so the Liu family head is definitely stronger.”

"Bullshit! Haven't you heard? Liu Yuquan has already been injured by Gao Chenghe!"

"Really?"

Would I lie to you?

"But if Liu Yuquan wasn't confident, why would he have volunteered to fight Gao Chenghe to the death? So I still think the Liu family head has a greater chance of winning!"

The Blackfish City residents who were watching expressed their opinions one after another, and for a time there were many different opinions, with no unified view.

Regardless, more people, at least two-thirds, believe Liu Yuquan will win.

After all, the Liu family's prestige and reputation surpassed that of the Gao family.

The city lord of Blackfish City, dressed in a white robe embroidered with a large black carp, stood in the air and said, "Gao Chenghe, Liu Yuquan, are you both ready?"

“I’m ready,” Gao Chenghe said.

"Me too."

Liu Yuquan gave Gao Chenghe a cold look, his eyes flashing.

The Blackfish City Lord then said, "In this battle, only one of you will survive. I hope you won't regret it."

"Now, the battle to the death begins!"

No sooner had the Blackfish City Lord finished speaking than Liu Yuquan charged toward Gao Chenghe.

Instead of retreating, Gao Chenghe advanced and engaged Liu Yuquan in fierce combat.

Their fight went into full intensity almost immediately, without any probing.

The Blackfish City Lord then erected a barrier in the air, confining the aftershocks of the battle within its range, thus preventing accidental harm to the Blackfish City's inhabitants.

"Father, you must win!"

The little girl waved her arms and shouted.

Gao Meizhi watched Gao Chenghe, who was fighting fiercely with Liu Yuquan on the ring, with a heavy weight pressing on her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Fifteen minutes passed before we knew it.

The battle between Gao Chenghe and Liu Yuquan has entered a fierce stage. The two are exchanging blows, and every move they make is a killing move!

But it's clear that Liu Yuquan is now at a disadvantage!

This is to be expected, as Liu Yuquan was injured by Gao Chenghe just six days ago, and his injury has not yet fully healed.

Both of them were at the early stage of True Essence Realm. Given that they were at the same level, Liu Yuquan, who was injured, was naturally no match for Gao Chenghe!

"See? I told you so! Liu Yuquan is injured and can't beat Gao Chenghe!"

"The head of the Liu family must have some trump cards up his sleeve."

"Yes, if he didn't have any trump cards, Liu Yuquan wouldn't have taken the initiative to propose this life-or-death battle!"

On the arena, Liu Yuquan suddenly let out a long roar and raised his hand to throw out a bead.

The bead emitted a dense, dark light, and as soon as it appeared, it suppressed the surging true energy around Gao Chenghe.

Although Gao Chenghe wouldn't lose all his fighting power under the suppression of this bead, his fighting power would drop by at least 50%!

"An eighth-grade spiritual weapon! You actually have an eighth-grade spiritual weapon!"

Gao Chenghe looked at Liu Yuquan in shock, his face showing disbelief.
