Hearing Xiao Chen's words, a trace of coldness flashed past Cheng Yu's eyes. After all, this wasn't something to be proud of. Now that Xiao Chen had pointed it out, how would the disciples below view him and his teacher, the second elder?
Sure enough, along with Xiao Chen's words, the disciples below had already started to discuss in whispers. Regarding this, not only Cheng Yu, even the eyes of the Second Elder who was seated at the highest position flashed with a trace of coldness.
Looking at the gloomy Cheng Yu, Xiao Chen's mouth curled up into a cold smile. Subsequently, something that Cheng Yu had never expected happened. Xiao Chen turned around and bowed to Gu Qi.
"Sect Master, Cheng Yu wishes to take revenge for Fang Yuan. Since it's so, disciple would like to change this battle to a life and death battle."
Knowing that Cheng Yu was here to take revenge for Fang Yuan, Xiao Chen actually took the initiative to change this battle to a life and death battle.
In the Tianqi Sect, the disciples weren't unfamiliar with life and death battles. After all, there were a lot of disciples in the sect. With so many people, there would definitely be conflicts. Furthermore, the Tianqi Sect forbade disciples from killing each other privately. Therefore, in order to give the disciples a way to resolve their grievances, the higher ups of the Tianqi Sect had set up a life and death battle.
Once an irreconcilable conflict appeared between the disciples, one of them would be able to request for a life and death battle. After both parties had agreed, the sect would recognize the life and death battle. Once the life and death battle started, the life and death would be determined by fate. After the battle, no one would be able to pursue the matter. Otherwise, it would be a violation of the sect rules.
Of course, if one of them didn't agree to the life and death battle, the life and death battle wouldn't be established. However, if one didn't dare to accept a life and death battle, one would definitely be despised by others. As long as it happened once, one's reputation in the Tianqi Sect would be completely ruined and one's status might plummet.
Who would have thought that Xiao Chen would propose a life-and-death duel without a word? Moreover, he had directly proposed a life-and-death duel to the Sect Leader. As soon as Xiao Chen's words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed, and they all sucked in a cold breath.
"Senior Brother Wang Huan must have gone crazy. He merely wanted to take revenge for Senior Brother Fang Yuan and he directly requested for a life and death battle."
"I feel that Senior Brother Wang Huan is too handsome. Look at Senior Brother Cheng Yu's expression. Isn't it as if he had eaten a fly?"
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's request for a life-and-death duel, the disciples began to discuss among themselves after recovering from their initial shock.
However, Cheng Yu who was on the stage was completely stunned. What kind of situation was this? Did Wang Hu eat explosives? Indeed, he wanted to avenge Fang Yuan, but he didn't have to go so far as to directly engage in a life-and-death battle, right?
He didn't expect Xiao Chen to have such a reaction. However, just when Cheng Yu was in a daze, Gu Qi's voice sounded, "Cheng Yu, Wang Huan proposed a life and death battle. According to the rules, you have the right to reject it. Now, let me ask you. Do you agree to Wang Huan's life and death battle?"
Gu Qi was also surprised by Xiao Chen's actions. However, he still followed the sect rules and asked for Cheng Yu's opinion. As long as Cheng Yu rejected it, the life and death battle would naturally be invalid.
However, how could Cheng Yu possibly refuse? Although he had the right to refuse, in front of everyone, if he were to refuse the life and death battle, it would mean that he was afraid of Xiao Chen. How would he be able to raise his head in the Heavenly Qi Sect in the future?
Many things had unwritten rules, and the Life-and-Death Duel in the Celestial Equal Sect also had such a rule. Once someone refused the Life-and-Death Duel, they would be deemed as a coward by all the disciples. Such a person would have a hard time in the Celestial Equal Sect because everyone would look down on them.
There was simply no reason for him to refuse. Taking a deep breath, Cheng Yu's eyes flashed with a trace of seriousness. He thought fiercely, "Wang Huan, you are simply going too far. Do you think that just because you are the Great Elder's grandson, I won't dare to kill you? Alright, since you are courting death, I shall grant you your wish. "
Thinking so, Cheng Yu looked at Gu Qi and shouted, "Sect Master, disciple agrees to Junior Brother Wang Huan's life and death battle."
Cheng Yu agreed. Regarding this, the disciples did not find it strange. After all, as the proud king of the Heavenly Qi Sect, it would be strange if Cheng Yu did not even have the courage to accept the challenge.
Seeing Cheng Yu had agreed, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with a trace of a sneer. After that, he looked at Gu Qi without batting an eyelid, waiting for his decision.
In fact, there wasn't much to decide. Both parties had already agreed to the life and death battle. As such, the sect no longer had any reason to refuse.
However, in Gu Qi's opinion, this life and death battle was different. Because the identity of both parties was not something ordinary disciples could compare to. If either of them were to die, it would be a great loss to the Heavenly Qi Sect. Therefore, before Gu Qi made his decision, he still spoke out.
"Alright. Since both of you have agreed, this battle can also become a life and death battle. But before it starts, I wish to give both of you a chance. Both of you are the most outstanding disciples in my Heavenly Qi Sect. If either of you were to fall, it would be a great loss to the sect. Therefore, I wish for both of you to think thrice before you act and cancel this life and death battle."
To Gu Qi, he did not wish to see a life and death battle between Xiao Chen and Cheng Yu. And his words were to give both of them a way out. If both of them were to regret it now, he believed that no one would say anything. After all, even the Sect Master had spoken out to mediate.
However, when he heard Gu Qi's words, Xiao Chen immediately spoke out, "Sect Master need not speak anymore. Disciple has already made up his mind. This battle must be carried out."
Xiao Chen wanted to have a life and death battle with Cheng Yu. Hearing what he said, Cheng Yu's complexion immediately changed. He thought, "This Wang Huan is simply too much. If he wants to fight, then let's fight. Does he really think that I'm afraid of him?"
Anger welled up in his heart. Cheng Yu also shouted out coldly, "Sect Master, disciple is also the same. This battle must be carried out. I hope Sect Master will agree to it."
Both of them insisted on having a life and death battle. When he saw the situation, Gu Qi shook his head helplessly. He immediately said, "Alright. Since both of you are so insistent, then this battle shall be changed to a life and death battle. According to the sect rules, no matter what the result is, no one is allowed to pursue the matter. Otherwise, the punishment will be dealt with according to the sect rules."
Gu Qi spoke out. His last sentence was obviously directed to the Second Elder and the Great Elder who was not present. After all, Xiao Chen and Cheng Yu were the Great Elder's grandson and the Second Elder's disciple.
Along with Gu Qi's words, the battle between Xiao Chen and Cheng Yu had also turned into a life and death battle. With regards to this, many of the disciples who were present started to get interested. After all, a life and death battle was definitely more exciting than a battle that would stop at a certain point.
Looking at Xiao Chen who was on the stage, Gu Lingyao, who was originally leaning on the tree trunk with his eyes closed, had unknowingly appeared beside the stage. His eyes flashed with a strange color, "Just because of a disagreement, you actually applied for a life and death battle. Senior Brother Wang Huan, when did you become so tyrannical?"
