"Qin Chuan, you're finally here. Today, you're going to pay for your stupidity and overestimation of yourself!"
Qin Kuang said coldly.
He deliberately said "overestimation of yourself."
Just to make people think that Qin Chuan was the one who challenged him, so his "appetite" wouldn't look too ugly.
"Hehe."
Qin Chuan chuckled, too lazy to say anything. Clowns like to perform, why should he join them?
"Good! Now, let me emphasize the rules of the Life and Death Platform one more time!"
At this moment, an old man with a white beard, dressed in a brocade robe, stepped out. He was the Grand Elder of the Qin Family.
And also Qin Kuang's uncle.
He solemnly scanned the crowd and said, "On the Life and Death Platform, once on stage, life and death are up to fate! No one may interfere!"
"If anyone from the Qin Family dares to interfere, it is considered a crime of treason against the family. And if anyone else takes action, it is to become an enemy of the Qin Family!"
As he spoke, he specifically glanced at some of the elders of the Qin Family.
He knew that although Qin Chuan had to step down due to cultivation issues, some elders still supported him.
After all, during his tenure, Qin Chuan had worked hard and led the clan to establish a lot of assets for the Qin Family...
"Sigh..."
These elders looked at each other and ultimately sighed and lowered their heads; this was an unstoppable trend, and they were powerless.
Qin Chuan looked around.
He found that the majority of the clansmen present from the Qin Family had their heads down, while a few watched him with glee.
As if expecting him to die.
Qin Chuan took it all in, a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes—family? Is this what you call family?
A mere motley crew!
"Qin Chuan, get up on the stage!"
At this moment, Qin Kuang clenched his fist and said coldly, "Today, let everyone in the city see who is the True Dragon of the Qin Family!"
"It's definitely not you."
Qin Chuan said indifferently, then slowly walked up to the Life and Death Platform.
"Wow!!"
The moment he stepped up, Qin Kuang charged like a raging bull, and instantly, the air erupted layer by layer!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
On the battle platform, golden Gang Energy roared, stirring up gusts that made it hard for onlookers to keep their eyes open.
"Take my punch!"
Qin Kuang's right hand clenched tightly and struck towards Qin Chuan's chest with a sinister grin, aiming to pierce through with one blow!
"Clap!"
However, the next moment, his fist was stopped by a fair and slender hand, which gently pushed away all his force.
"What?!"
Qin Kuang's pupils shrank, like a burst of thunder, but before he could think, a slap already landed on his face.
"Smack—"
The force was so terrifying that his face deformed instantly, and his whole body spun sideways and flew backward!
"Hahaha..."
In an instant, he spun so many times, the wind whistling like a spinning top.
"What is this?!"
"Such terrifying strength!"
"Wasn't his cultivation lost?"
"Uh... maybe this is the last battle. I heard that those whose Primordial Energy Core is shattered can forcefully retain a breath of Primordial Energy for the final fight!"
There was a flurry of discussion among the people below the stage.
While the Qin Family's Grand Elder's face suddenly turned sinister, he breathed heavily, "There's a trick, definitely a trick!!"
At this moment, Qin Kuang's furious voice rang out.
"Qin... Chuan!!"
He slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and gritted his teeth, "Your Primordial Energy Core is already shattered; we all checked. There's no way you could turn the tables today; I'll see how long you can last!"
He suspected that Qin Chuan was using some kind of Secret Technique to forcefully maintain a burst of strength for the last battle.
Because after the Primordial Energy Core shatters, there might be some residual power left inside, but it's definitely not much.
He intended to exhaust Qin Chuan!
"Heh, does it take long to deal with you?" Qin Chuan saw through Qin Kuang's intentions in one glance and sneered.
He stretched out one hand and said nonchalantly, "Two moves will suffice."
"You speak so arrogantly, kill!"
Qin Kuang roared, a strong Gang Energy erupted around him, then gathered into a mighty lion charging towards Qin Chuan!
"Rumble!"
The lion charged, causing the entire Life and Death Platform to tremble, and the fierce Gang Energy made the crowd below hurry back.
"Just a tiny glimmer!"
Qin Chuan snorted coldly, raising his right hand, and the golden Gang Energy surged like thunder, then he punched directly forward.
"Boom—"
A hot beam shot out with the most dominant stance, piercing through the charging lion, and then slammed into Qin Kuang.
"Bang!"
"Puh!"
The lion disintegrated instantly, and Qin Kuang, simultaneously spewed blood and was sent flying, crashing at the edge of the Life and Death Platform, barely hanging on.
"I... don't, be, lieve!"
Qin Kuang's face was pale, staring intently at Qin Chuan as he slowly approached, speaking four difficult words.
"It doesn't matter."
Qin Chuan smiled, shaking his head, then slowly raised his right foot.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, the Qin Family's Grand Elder shouted, and simultaneously, Qin Kuang was suddenly yanked off the Life and Death Platform by a force.
Qin Chuan frowned, looking at the Grand Elder.
"Grand Elder, what does this mean?"
Qin Chuan asked indifferently.
In fact, he wasn't surprised at all; having spent years dominating the business world in a past life, he could see what kind of person would do what just at a glance.
"Qin Kuang has already fallen off the Life and Death Platform, he's no longer on stage. Let's end this battle here?"
The Grand Elder said expressionlessly.
"Oh?"
Qin Chuan showed a look of interest, asking, "Grand Elder, do you remember what you just said?"
Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to the Grand Elder, all bearing ridicule and mockery.
"Heh, this Qin Family Grand Elder, just said no one should interfere, now interfering himself, such a slap in the face."
"Truly shameless, when victory was assured, he said no interference, but seeing his own losing, he directly stepped in!"
"I really respect such people."
"Heh, just this kind of demeanor, deserving to be the Grand Elder of the Qin Family, it looks like the Qin Family is getting worse..."
Voices of discussion erupted, like invisible slaps, harshly on the Grand Elder's face.
No matter how shameless he was, he felt his face burning at this moment.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he immediately reprimanded harshly, "Qin Chuan, in a fight to the death, you dare to cheat, what is your crime!!"
Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did I cheat?"
"Hmph! Your Primordial Energy Core clearly shattered, yet you're displaying such mighty power now, you must have used some Evil Technique!!"
The Grand Elder declared righteously.
"Oh? Then how does the Grand Elder think I should be in a normal situation?"
Qin Chuan looked at him and mocked, "Should I let your nephew kill me easily with my crippled body... Grand Elder!"
"You!"
The Grand Elder's face was incredibly ugly, although that's exactly what he thought, being unveiled publicly made his face sting.
"Heh, the Grand Elder is really wielding his authority!"
Qin Chuan sneered, "Even an ant knows to strive to live; do you think, if you want me dead, I should obediently offer myself to die? Why don't you just order me to commit suicide? Save trouble!"
"You... you disrespect your elders!!"
The Grand Elder wanted to refute but didn't know how, so he blushed, gritted his teeth, and snarled lowly.
"Are you even worthy of mentioning elders? Just an old dog, relying on age to boast, barking wildly here!"
Qin Chuan took a step forward, an overwhelming aura spread out, his robes fluttering, looking down at the Grand Elder.
"All members of the Qin Family, hear the order; execute this ungrateful Qin Family traitor on the spot, to rectify the family rules!!"
The Grand Elder shouted angrily.
"Yes!!"
"At your command!"
"For the family!"
A series of oppressive auras erupted from the opposing elders, their killing intent fiercely locked onto Qin Chuan.
