n

n

n“Are we betting everything we have? Including this maid?”

n

nShen Ran was immediately interested and turned to look at Hong Jing.

n

n“Not to mention my maid, as long as you can defeat my brother, you can take away my wealth and life! Do you dare to enter the deathmatch with my brother?!”

n

nHong Xiaoxian was extremely confident.

n

nEver since he entered the Eighth Summit, he had never seen an ordinary disciple defeat his elder brother.

n

nIn every deathmatch, all the opponents were tortured to death by Hong Jing!

n

nHe himself liked the way those abused people begged.

n

nHe was usually unreasonable. Actually, he also hoped that someone would fight him because of his provocation.

n

nIn this way, he could ask his brother to kill others sadistically.

n

nSometimes, Hong Xiaoxian would even ask his elder brother to let him skin and tear apart his opponents.

n

n“You two brothers’ lives and entire fortune? That suits me!”

n

nShen Ran’s eyes lit up and he gladly agreed to enter the death ring with Hong Jing.

n

nAfter all, he wanted to build a good relationship with the future Empress Divine Phoenix.

n

nBesides, he had heard all the discussions around him.

n

nThis Hong Jing was actually Wang Qingxuan’s subordinate, and he even had that disgusting eccentricity.

n

nHe had to get rid of them quickly!

n

n“You agreed? Then why aren’t you going to the ring? Hurry up!”

n

nHearing that Shen Ran had agreed to enter the death ring, Hong Xiaoxian was even more excited than his elder brother, Hong Jing.

n

n“Young Master…”

n

nWhen the maidservant heard that Shen Ran wanted to fight Hong Jing to the death for her, she immediately grabbed Shen Ran’s pants and looked at him pleadingly.

n

n“Good girl. Don’t worry, it’s fine.”

n

nShen Ran gently stroked the maid’s head and comforted her softly.

n

n“Hmph. Seeing how much you like my brother’s ugly maid, I’ll send her down to be with you when you die. But I’m afraid it won’t be easy before you die.”

n

nHong Jing waved the fan in his hand and said slowly.

n

n“Let’s not waste time here. Let’s go.”

n

nWith that, Shen Ran walked towards the ring set up in the sect.

n

nHong Jing jumped lightly and followed.

n

n“This young man is too impulsive! As the chief disciple of the Eighth Summit, Hong Jing’s strength has reached the sixth level of the Divine Sea Realm. His talent is terrifying.”

n

n“I wonder what this young man has to rely on. I hope he’s not just being impulsive.”

n

nThey all followed behind, talking incessantly.

n

nFrom their conversation regarding who the winner would be, they were inclined towards Hong Jing.

n

nThe two of them faced each other in the ring.

n

nEveryone present fell silent, holding their breaths and waiting for the results.

n

nIn the ring.

n

nApart from Shen Ran and Hong Jing, there was also an elder who was in charge of being the witness of the deathmatch.

n

n“Once the deathmatch begins, only life and death can be decided on the stage. No matter the outcome, the winner can have all the money of the loser, and at the same time, the grudge will be settled… Do you have any objections?”

n

nThe elder spoke slowly.

n

nThey both nodded.

n

n“In that case, let’s start over there.”

n

nAs soon as he finished speaking, Elder Witness had already appeared below the stage.

n

nThe deathmatch began!

n

n“You know what? I appreciate your ignorance—”

n

nHong Jing smiled as he fanned himself.

n

nUnexpectedly, he only got halfway through his sentence.

n

nHe heard a sharp stab in his ear.

n

nShen Ran, who was opposite him, flashed and appeared in front of him in the next moment.

n

nHong Jing tensed.

n

nHe did not expect Shen Ran to be so fast.

n

nHong Jing was completely unprepared. He didn’t even have time to mobilize the spiritual energy in his divine sea.

n

n“Buzz!”

n

nAt this moment, a light blue protective shield popped out from the jade pendant on his neck.

n

nThis was Hong Jing’s family heirloom.

n

nThe Black Tortoise Guardian Jade.

n

nThe popped out protective shield could unleash a full-powered attack at the first level of the Illumination Realm.

n

nAnd yet…

n

n“Crack!”

n

nThe Black Tortoise Guardian Jade’s protective shield exploded the moment it touched Shen Ran’s fist.

n

nThe speed of Shen Ran’s fist was not affected at all.

n

n“Boom!”

n

nThe punch that broke the sound barrier smashed into Hong Jing’s chest.

n

nHis chest caved in, forming a huge pit.

n

nA bulge appeared behind Hong Jing’s back.

n

nThen the protrusion exploded!

n

nA large bloody hole appeared in his back.

n

nScarlet blood, mixed with a large number of bones and internal organs, sprayed out of the big hole.

n

nIt stained most of the ring’s area blood red.

n

n“You—”

n

nHong Jing’s eyes bulged, and the blood vessels on his eyeballs were red. His expression was exceptionally ferocious.

n

nHe opened his mouth to say something.

n

nIn the next second, blood flowed out of the seven apertures of his head and he fell forward on the ring, dead.

n

nLooking through the gaping hole in his back, the trunk was empty.

n

nUnder the huge force of Shen Ran’s punch, all the internal organs and vertebrae turned into fragments and sprayed out.

n

n“Shen Ran, Victory!”

n

nBelow the stage, the elder in charge of witnessing this deathmatch announced the outcome expressionlessly.

n

nAll the onlookers stared in disbelief.

n

nThey had not expected the deathmatch to end after less than half a second.

n

nWas Hong Jing killed by a single punch?

n

nShen Ran frowned. “Aren’t you at the sixth level of the Divine Sea Realm? I’m also at the sixth level of the Divine Sea Realm. I haven’t even used my cultivation yet? You can’t even withstand a punch from my physical strength?”

n
