The sword in his hand shone brightly, and endless fiery sword energy surged forth with incredible ferocity.
"Oops."
Ye Qiu continued to feign weakness, pretending he couldn't dodge in time.
After Mu Qingtian's terrifying sword energy descended and engulfed him, he suddenly leaped off the arena. One hand landed on the edge of the arena, while the other hand quickly reached out. Without using any magic power, he grabbed Mu Qingtian's ankle in a hidden place and flung him away, sending Mu Qingtian flying twenty meters away.
Mu Qingtian's sword energy did not have much impact on Ye Qiu.
When the light faded, everyone was stunned to see Mu Qingtian land twenty meters away from the arena, and the arena was empty.
"It's over, both of them fell off the ring, which means they both lost."
"What a pity, what a pity."
"It's absurd that Mu Qingtian actually missed and fell off the stage herself."
"She couldn't hit Ye Shen despite her frantic attacks, so she must have gotten angry and embarrassed, which is why this awkward situation has arisen."
"What a pity for Ye Shen."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
Just when everyone thought that both of them had been eliminated in this round, Ye Qiu suddenly exerted his strength, his body sprang up, and he landed steadily on the stage, calmly saying, "Who said that both of them have been eliminated? I'm still on the stage."
Wow.
At this moment, the entire audience was shaken.
"Holy crap, we won?"
"I understand. Ye Shen didn't actually fall off the stage; he grabbed the edge of the stage with one hand."
"Haha, you idiots over there, can't you see this side of the arena? We can see it clearly. Ye Shen didn't fall off the arena. As long as he's still holding onto the arena, he hasn't lost."
"Tsk, damn, this is incredible luck! It's like winning without a fight. The enemy defeated themselves. It's hilarious."
Such remarks were heard incessantly for a time.
puff.
Mu Qingtian, who stood up from the audience, was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood.
call.
Lin Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether it was luck or not, Ye Qiu's victory in this game meant that he was already guaranteed a spot in the top ten. In this way, without her having to pull strings, Ye Qiu could participate in the Great Dragon League openly and legitimately.
However, just when everyone thought Ye Qiu's victory was a foregone conclusion, Xuan Yuanhuo suddenly spoke up seriously: "This duel does not count, because both of them fell off the stage."
Wow.
Everyone was stunned by these words.
Then, Prefect Tian Gao was the first to stand up and said in a deep voice, "Brother Xuanyuan, Ye Qiu did not actually fall off the stage. He had one hand hanging on the edge of the stage and finally managed to get back up. Ye Qiu should be considered the winner."
"Yes, Ye Qiu should win this round."
"That's right, that's right. How can you cheat like this? The head of the cultivation mansion can't be so blatantly biased towards Mu Qingtian."
"Ye Shen must be considered the winner."
Many people couldn't help but shout out their support for Ye Qiu.
This deeply moved Ye Qiu, but he didn't rush to speak. He calmly looked at Xuan Yuanhuo and asked, "What are your thoughts, Senior Xuan Yuanhuo?"
Xuan Yuanhuo stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "First, no one can prove that you were just hanging on the edge of the arena and did not fall. Perhaps you jumped back up? Because of your excellent literary talent, you have a group of people who like you and help you, so you can't completely believe what they say."
Of course, maybe you really were just hanging on the edge of the ring, but that already raises questions. If you were to win, it wouldn't be convincing enough, it wouldn't be fair.
Secondly, the rules don't state that hanging from the edge of the ring with one hand doesn't count as falling off. All things considered, I think this match should be replayed to ensure fairness. What do you think?
"Nonsense!" Wu Daofeng roared in anger. "Xuanyuanhuo, are you trying to fool my Jiedao Academy into thinking we have no one to rely on? We've already won the match, yet you insist on favoring Mu Qingtian. Ha! Everyone knows that you, Xuanyuanhuo, are on very good terms with the head of the Mu family, but what kind of occasion is this? How dare you act so recklessly?"
“That makes sense.” Lin Qingzhu stood up without hesitation: “Xuanyuan Huo, even if what you say is true, and this duel is controversial, I suggest we decide by voting, so that everyone can decide whether this duel should be restarted.”
“Miss Lin, even voting probably won’t solve the problem of something that’s controversial. There’s only one way to resolve the issue and convince everyone: strength is king!” Xuan Yuanhuo said solemnly, looking righteous.
Lin Qingzhu frowned, already angered.
Before Lin Qingzhu could speak, Ye Qiu said seriously, "Fine, this duel can be rematched, but I have one request."
"What are the requirements?" Xuan Yuanhuo asked, secretly excited.
"Your interference makes me very uncomfortable. If we want to fight again, we have to sign a waiver of life and death, and you will be responsible for your own life and death," Ye Qiu said coldly.
These words shocked the entire audience.
No one expected that Ye Qiu would sign a death warrant.
"It's over, Mu Qingtian is finished. She has completely angered Brother Ye." Gu Si became excited and clenched her fists.
"Damn it, they even dare to mess with my boss, they're asking for trouble." Tian Hao's chubby face was flushed with excitement.
On the stage, Xuan Yuan Huo Hua's white brows furrowed: "Are you sure you want to do this? Young man, can you take responsibility for your actions?"
"What do you think?" Ye Qiu sneered. "I'll give you two options: either I win, or you sign a waiver of life and death. You choose."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanhuo's heart skipped a beat.
In that instant, he felt an inexplicable pressure emanating from Ye Qiu.
Xuan Yuanhu took a deep breath and looked at Mu Qingtian with forced composure: "Miss Mu, what do you want to choose? I'll leave this choice to you."
"I choose a fight to the death." Mu Qingtian excitedly rushed onto the stage, staring at Ye Qiu with murderous intent: "It was my carelessness just now. This time, I will make sure he dies without a burial place."
"Don't make any promises you can't keep. Sign the document now, and I'll send you on your way."
Ye Qiu's eyes were extremely cold.
He originally intended to conceal his strength, but now it seems there's no need for that anymore...
Soon, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two signed a waiver of their right to live or die.
Once the life-or-death contract is signed, the duel in the arena is a matter of life and death; it's either you or me who dies.
"Can we begin? Ye Qiu, this time, I won't give you any more chances." Mu Qingtian gritted her teeth, her beautiful face filled with chilling coldness.
