Soaring of Galaxia
Chapter 874: Life and Death Contract, Wushuang Battles the Heavenly Emperor

Qin Xiaotian still said with a neither slow nor fast tone, “Saber Beard, I have lived for more than a few thousand years. If I have an undeserved reputation, I don’t need you to judge me. Of course, today I stand on the Xuan Yuan Stage to not fight with you. When the Xin Clan sent an expedition against my Qin Clan, it consumed my thousand years of power. My divine soul is not yet healed after controlling the Genuine Supreme Dao weapon. For today’s battle, I will lose for sure. I still have such self-knowledge. So, I don’t plan to fight you on this one.”

“Qin Xiaotian, just what do you mean?” Saber Beard was going crazy.

“Ha ha, it’s simple. This round, you win. I yield the second round!”

Give up?

The audience beneath the stage was going crazy. For Xin Tianchen’s round, he surrendered in the first move. Qin Xiaotian was more exaggerated. He did not even make a move and just surrendered.

This was simply nonsense!

Everyone came to watch the competition, not to watch such drama. For the two rounds of the highest-level, nothing actually happened. What was going on?

“Everyone says Qin Xiaotian has severe injuries, it seems the rumors are true. Without even fighting, he admitted defeat. He does have good temperament.”

“Ah, the past Head Chief of the Qin Clan, an iron-like guy, how big are his aspirations? Unfortunately the old tiger only has great ambition, but not the awe-inspiring authority.”

“What do you know? He has injuries, how can he fight? You think it’s a competition at our level? Once those at the Genuine Supreme Dao fight, it will be life and death. He would be digging his own grave if he fought elite warriors of the same level without being in the best state.”

“Since he’s injured, why would he come up? Is he wasting a quota?”

“You don’t believe me when I said you know nothing. Clearly, Qin Xiaotian came to the stage to be part of the number. If Qin Xiaotian didn’t participate, in terms of strength, Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast would be ranked in the second-tier. In that case, he would not have a chance to win against Saber Beard. It’s best to put him in the third-tier to win a round. Thus, when he yields the second round, it will be one loss and one win.”

“This way, the Qin Clan puts their stake on Qin Wushuang?”

“Isn’t that right? It seems the Qin Clan is full of confidence in Qin Wushuang.”

“There’s the confidence, can he truly win against the Heavenly Emperor? I doubt it.”

The thousand years of authority gained by Heavenly Emperor Xin Tianwen had a real impact on people. Although Qin Wushuang had thriving publicity, he was just a latent figure. He was too young.

A young man of a dozen years of age was simply a junior in the martial arts world. When fighting against an elite warrior a few thousand years old like Heavenly Emperor Xin Tianwen, people could not refrain from having prejudice. They felt they were not on par at all, the disparity was too great.

Disregarding the dumbstruck Saber Beard, Qin Xiaotian let out a leisurely smile and walked down the stage after cupping his hands to salute to Xuan Yuan Ba. It seemed he was unobstructed like a wild and carefree crane.

For such change of events, everyone at the scene was completely stunned. The legendary competition to fight for the Heavenly Emperor seat with your life became a matter of surrendering.

However, the turn of events in the previous two rounds allowed the third round to be filled with exciting points. This showed that there must be a result in this third round!

As if arranged by destiny, the elite warriors, the chiefs of the Qin Clan and Xin Clan would get bestowed with more meaning at this summit of confrontation. They would begin their battle.

Feeling angered, Saber Beard felt he could not unleash his power. As he walked down the stage, he felt incredibly depressed.

For this battle, Saber Beard mustered his strength to plan to strike out the morale for the Xin Clan. He planned to sweep away the decline. Unexpectedly, it came to this result…

Although it seemed they won a round with the opponent surrendering, it was a completely different matter when the opponent surrendered willingly.

In the beginning, Qin Xiaotian was aware that he was not suitable to fight due to the unhealed injuries. As he yielded in the competition with confidence, such actions would not hurt the morale of the Qin Clan. Perhaps, it was a strategy planned by the Qin Clan. They would take the first round, yield in the second round, and fight to the death for the third.

As Saber Beard walked down angrily, he said to Xin Tianwen helplessly, “Tianwen, it seems the Qin Clan puts their hope in you and Qin Wushuang, everything depends on you.”

With a somewhat malevolent expression, Xin Tianwen laughed. “Watch me. I can use this opportunity to kill this little bastard and destroy the Qin Clan at once!”

Saber Beard let out a slight sigh. “You must be careful, watch out for his puppet skills. You must be vigilant with his Graceful Spiritual Bow too.”

Xuan Yuan Stage let out a slight snort and walked up to the Xuan Yuan Stage in large strides.

With the appearance of the Heavenly Emperor, it immediately triggered a pile of cheers. Everyone was extremely excited. They knew that this battle would not go to waste.

Neither the Xin or the Qin Clan could afford to lose. It’d be impossible for either side to yield.

Now, Xin Tianwen showcased his majestic manner as the Heavenly Emperor. On the Xuan Yuan Stage, his tall figure, formidable body, combined with the Heavenly Emperor clothing, it gave people the overbearing pressure of an authoritative figure.

On the Qin Clan side, Qin Wushuang seemed to not mind fighting for this burst of vital energy. Slow and leisurely, he formed his own temperament. If Xin Tianwen could be said as having majestic manner like the galloping ocean, then Qin Wushuang was more like a free creek, murmuring slowly.

However, will the galloping ocean be capable of suppress a murmuring creek?

On two sides of the Xuan Yuan Stage, two of them already stood on the stage. One had a towering figure like a majestic mountain while the other one had a tall and straight figure, like bamboo.

Qin Wushuang’s eyelid jumped slightly and he twitched the corner of his mouth. Then, he said lightly, “Xin Tianwen, I waited a dozen years for this day. It seems the gods are treating you and me well, they did not make us miss this battle.”

Xin Tianwen said with a cold snort “Even if the gods wanted to miss it, I will not miss it. You immature and inexperienced kid, how could you dare to lead the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan? It seems that your clan is getting weaker generation after generation. A kid as the chief? What a joke.”

“Xin Tianwen, you do not hold respect like an old man, I will not think too much of it. Only, despite sitting on the throne, your Xin Clan is unreasonable. You don’t think forward and only know internal strife. Today, I will carry the justice for the gods and kick your clan out of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain! I think you must resent my clan deeply. Since we entrust all the grudges to this battle, why don’t we put down some bigger stakes?”

“Humph, how do you want to play?” Xin Tianwen rolled his eyes and asked vigilantly.

“ALife and death battle. Before life and death is decided, no one can get off the stage. Will you dare?” Qin Wushuang’s voice sank as he asked coldly.

Instantly, Xin Tianwen felt apprehensive inwardly as he looked at Qin Wushuang with astonishment. Life and death battle? This kid wants to set up this battle with me?

“Without cause, Xin Tianwen felt a trace of uneasiness. This kid is far inferior to me, yet he wants to make a life and death promise with me. Could it be he has some overbearing trump cards?”

From his last injury, Xin Tianwen had unpleasant trauma. In the past, he would not worry about such gains and losses. He would not normally consider such problem with his powerful confidence.

However, this time, he was hesitant. Even if it was just an instant of hesitation, it was due to his lack of confidence and weak belief.

Then, he thought immediately, “No matter how monstrous this kid can be, does he have the skill to win against me? If he has such skill, if he does not kill me now, there will be many chances in the future to do so. Why would he force me to fight to the death? By the way, he must be intentionally provoking me and making me doubtful to have unfavorable conditions and hesitance. He doesn’t want me to perform at my best. This must be the case.”

When Xin Tianwen thought about it, he felt this Qin Wushuang was intimidating him.

Since it was intimidation, he must not fall to his trick. Instead, he will follow through. With a cold laugh he said, “A life and death battle, good, let’s do it. On the Xuan Yuan Stage, we will fight to our last gasp. Even if we surrender, we can continue to launch killer moves. No one can interfere, right?”

“That’s the case, will you dare to take it?” Qin Wushuang asked coldly.

Xin Tianwen roared with laughter. “I should be asking you this. Since you offered it, I will do as you wish. I will send you to your gods on the Xuan Yuan Stage.”

In fact, Xin Tianwen was also plotting the same scheme inwardly. Life and death battle, fighting to one’s last gasp. He will use this chance to kill Qin Wushuang and seize his treasures and equipment. If he could inherit that immemorial formation, he would be rich.

Xin Tianwen had schemed this idea for a long time. Also, he was left without an option. If he did not kill Qin Wushuang this time, following his future development, he would not have another chance.

Even if the Xin Clan seized the Heavenly Emperor seat, most likely he would not sleep peacefully thinking about Qin Wushuang’s growth.

Therefore, now was the best chance to kill Qin Wushuang. He will be killed righteously and properly.

“You two, the Qin and Xin Clan are the trusted aides of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. I advise you to remain calm. Once you sign the life and death contract, there is no way you can go back. Someone must die on this stage to end it. This is not child’s play.”

At this moment, Xuan Yuan Ba did not dare to neglect him as he dissected the vital interest seriously.

Xin Tianwen said with an indifferent smile, “Mr. Ba, since we are to sign it, we will not regret it. You can see that the Xin and Qin Clan cannot live under the same sky. Regardless of who wins and who loses, we will not tolerate the other party at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. One of the two fighting tigers must die.”

Xuan Yuan Ba let out a slight sigh and nodded. Then, he looked at Qin Wushuang. A life and death contract requires consignment from both parties. It will not be upheld if one party does not sign it. He rather hoped Qin Wushuang would not not agree at this crucial moment.

However, Qin Wushuang smiled. Without any heroic words, his expression was determined. A battle to the death with no regrets!

Xuan Yuan Ba let out a bitter smile. “I hope you will not regret by that time. Someone come prepare the contract!”

As soon as the words, life and death contract went out, instantly everyone up and down the Xuan Yuan Stage became solemnly silent. Everyone started to breath urgently.

Everyone knew what this contract meant. Once signed, there would not be any ground to go back.

In other words, the thousand year old heroic elite warrior Xin Tianwen and also the most exceptional prodigy, who emerged only once every ten thousand years, one of them would die on the stage after this battle.

For such super figures, with the shock of learning that one of the elite warriors would die after this competition, the hearts of everyone were shaken.

Even the crowd of the Qin Clan that carried a smile became solemn. They knew what this meant.

On the contrary, Qin Wushuang and Xin Tianwen, the two responsible figures remained unexpectedly calm. Both signed their names and made the promise.

Beneath the stage, Mu Rong Xu bit her lip lightly, yet she remained extremely strong. Bao Bao and the other divine beasts sat next to Mu Rong Xu and they could not refrain from feeling nervous as they tweaked their ears and scratched their cheeks.
