"Big Brother Liu, don't listen to this Duan Lingtian, you …"
At the same time that Fan Jian's face went pale, he was slightly flustered. Because he noticed that Liu Shi Ge seemed to have already made up his mind to let him ascend the life and death arena to battle with the Duan Lingtian.
He knew his own limits.
He was far from being a match for the Duan Lingtian!
If the Duan Lingtian wanted to kill him, a single sword strike would be sufficient.
But before Fan Jian could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Shi Ge. "Fan Jian, don't worry. With me, Liu Shi Ge, here, I guarantee that you won't lose a single hair!"
Liu Shi Ge's words were filled with strong confidence, the confidence of a Nascent Soul martial artist.
"What? You don't believe me?"
Seeing Fan Jian's expression still unsightly and not replying to him for a long time, Liu Shi Ge was slightly embarrassed and his face couldn't help but sink.
"Big Brother Liu, I …"
Fan Jian had a bitter expression. He wanted to tell Liu Shi Ge that since the Duan Lingtian wanted him to ascend the life and death arena together, he surely had confidence.
But in the end, he didn't continue speaking, because he saw the determination in Liu Shi Ge's eyes.
He and Liu Shi Ge had known each other since long ago, and he knew Liu Shi Ge's character.
He knew clearly in his heart that once Liu Shi Ge made up his mind to do something, no one could stop him. No matter what he said, it was useless.
"Don't worry, the reason I made a move against this Duan Lingtian earlier was to probe his depths and see the progress of his cultivation in this year … Since he hasn't broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, I'm naturally not afraid of him."
Right at this moment, Liu Shi Ge's voice transmission entered Fan Jian's ears, causing Fan Jian's heart to settle.
So it turned out that the reason Big Brother Liu made a move earlier was to probe Duan Lingtian's depths …
Seeing Liu Shi Ge so confident, the worry in Fan Jian's heart lessened.
Suddenly.
Fan Jian looked at Duan Lingtian and said coldly, "Duan Lingtian, I, Fan Jian, can agree to your conditions! I'll ascend the life and death arena with Big Brother Liu and battle you! "
When Duan Lingtian heard Fan Jian, his expression froze and a wisp of astonishment appeared on his face.
It was as if he found it hard to believe that Fan Jian would agree to this condition.
However, when his expression landed in the eyes of Liu Shi Ge and Fan Jian, it made the latter feel that he was lacking in confidence, causing the latter's confidence to greatly increase.
"Fan Jian, you're such a coward … You actually dare to challenge me to the Life and Death Arena. What a surprise."
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"I hope you keep your word. Otherwise, you, Duan Lingtian, are bound to become an untrustworthy person in the future, and it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the Seven Star Sword Sect."
Fan Jian sneered with a smug expression on his face.
Seeing Duan Lingtian behaving like this, he naturally thought that Duan Lingtian had purposely said that he wanted him to join him on the Life and Death Arena in order to make him back off.
At that time, this Duan Lingtian would be able to righteously reject Brother Liu's challenge to the Life and Death Arena.
At this moment, Fan Jian felt that he was so smart.
"Humph!"
Duan Lingtian coldly swept Fan Jian with his gaze, and his mouth slightly moved as he sent a voice transmission that broke through Fan Jian's eardrums. "Fan Jian, even if I'm not a match for Liu Shi Ge, I'll still kill you before he makes a move against me! After that, I'll leap off the Life and Death Arena. At that time, with Senior Brother Zheng Song's protection, Liu Shi Ge is bound to be unable to kill me. "
Fan Jian's face went slightly grim when he heard Duan Lingtian's voice transmission, yet he didn't give in. "Then let's see if you kill me first, or Brother Liu kills you first."
Subsequently, Fan Jian passed on what Duan Lingtian had said to him via voice transmission to Liu Shi Ge, and it caused Liu Shi Ge's eyes to be unable to refrain from squinting.
"Fan Jian, you can be at ease. With me here, he won't be able to kill you."
Liu Shi Ge replied to Fan Jian via voice transmission, and his tone was filled with strong confidence.
"I believe in Brother Liu."
Fan Jian hurriedly replied.
Presently, Liu Shi Ge and Fan Jian didn't doubt Duan Lingtian's agreement to the Life and Death Arena this time any longer.
Duan Lingtian wasn't really confident.
Instead, he wanted to fish in troubled waters.
Ascending the Life and Death Arena to battle the two of them was fake.
Wanting to kill Fan Jian and then flee was the real truth.
"Junior Brother Duan Lingtian, do you want to reconsider?"
Zheng Song frowned and wanted to take a step further to restrain Duan Lingtian.
Zheng Song's actions caused Liu Shi Ge and Fan Jian's expressions to be slightly unsightly. At this moment, they were truly worried that this matter would be spoiled by Zheng Song.
"Senior Brother Zheng Song, there are things one can do and things one can't do in one's lifetime! Today, since I, Duan Lingtian, have spoken, then I'll naturally keep my word. "
Duan Lingtian shook his head and refused Zheng Song's good intentions.
The surroundings were in an uproar.
"This Duan Lingtian really wants to ascend the Life and Death Arena to battle Liu Shi Ge and Fan Jian?"
"He's simply gone mad!"
"A ninth level Origin Core Stage martial artist wants to go against a first level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist? What a fantasy! "
…
None of the surrounding Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciples looked favorably upon Duan Lingtian.
"Let's go to the Life and Death Arena!"
Liu Shi Ge glanced coldly at Duan Lingtian, then called out to Fan Jian before heading towards the other side of the peak.
The Life and Death Arena of the Seven Star Sword Sect's Main Peak, Dubhe Peak, was situated at the side of a precipice at the peak of Dubhe Peak, and it was covered in floor tiles that seemed to be dyed with blood.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
When they arrived at the Life and Death Arena, Liu Shi Ge and Fan Jian flashed out and were the first to ascend the arena.
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian and Zheng Song walked side by side, and behind them was a group of inner court disciples as they slowly walked towards the Life and Death Arena in a formidable array.
"Junior Brother Duan Lingtian, are you really confident?"
Although Duan Lingtian's voice transmission revealed strong confidence, Zheng Song couldn't help but be slightly worried.
He'd always been extremely grateful to Duan Lingtian.
It was Duan Lingtian that allowed his father to break through to the Void Initiation Stage in one go!
This was an enormous favor!
It was difficult to return.
"Senior Brother Zheng Song, it isn't the first time I've ascended the Seven Star Sword Sect's Life and Death Arena, but those that have died on the Life and Death Arena have always been my opponents … Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Duan Lingtian had a carefree expression, as if his expression wouldn't change even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.
Zheng Song nodded and didn't say anything further.
He chose to believe Duan Lingtian.
Based on Duan Lingtian's past deeds, Duan Lingtian wasn't an impulsive person.
Every time he ascended the Life and Death Arena, no one looked favorably upon him, but every time he was able to exceed everyone's expectations and kill his opponents one by one.
Duan Lingtian had created too many miracles.
But unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to see it with his own two eyes …
This time, he finally had the chance.
He really looked forward to it.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian arrived before the Life and Death Arena.
The surroundings of the Life and Death Arena were filled with people.
So long as it was someone at the peak of Dubhe Peak, no matter if it was an inner court disciple or an inner court elder, all of them had gathered over to watch the show …
"What's happened?"
Some of the inner court disciples that had just arrived couldn't help but ask curiously.
In next to no time, along with the explanations of the other inner court disciples, they came to a sudden understanding …
So it turned out that Duan Lingtian wanted to ascend the Life and Death Arena to battle Liu Shi Ge and Fan Jian.
One against two!
"Duan Lingtian has broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage?"
This was their first thought when they heard of this matter, and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"No."
Some inner court disciples that knew the situation shook their heads. "Duan Lingtian hasn't broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, and is only at the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage … The reason he was willing to ascend the Life and Death Arena was mostly because of Fan Jian."
"Exactly, the conflict between him and Senior Brother Liu Shi Ge was ultimately because of the culprit, Fan Jian. Perhaps, he wants to seize this opportunity to kill Fan Jian! "
…
"Kill Fan Jian?"
"With Senior Brother Liu Shi Ge present, it's extremely difficult for him to kill Fan Jian."
"It's indeed extremely difficult."
…
No matter how the group of inner court disciples discussed, the agreement on the life and death arena had already been set, and was difficult to change.
On the life and death arena, Liu Shi Ge stood there, and the inner court disciple attire on his body fluttered with the wind, causing him to look graceful and elegant.
Whereas Fan Jian was now standing behind Liu Shi Ge, as if only by hiding behind Liu Shi Ge would he be able to obtain a sense of security.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Liu Shi Ge's fierce gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian, and it was filled with ruthlessness and bloodthirstiness.
Duan Lingtian nodded to Zheng Song, then his figure flashed out, seeming to have transformed into a spirit serpent as he lightly descended onto the life and death arena to stand in confrontation with Liu Shi Ge.
"Fan Jian, you plan to always hide behind Liu Shi Ge?"
After ascending the life and death arena, Duan Lingtian didn't look at Liu Shi Ge, but instead looked at Fan Jian who was behind Liu Shi Ge as he asked indifferently.
Fan Jian's face flickered between a livid and ashen expression when he heard Duan Lingtian.
"Haha … This Fan Jian is truly cowardly!"
"It's not strange. Although Fan Jian has recently broken through to the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage, when facing Duan Lingtian who had the strength to cripple the ninth level Origin Core Stage Senior Brother Wu Yongqian's arm one year ago, he's still not enough. "
"Yeah, one year ago, Duan Lingtian was only at the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage, yet he was even able to cripple the arm of a ninth level Origin Core Stage inner court disciple … Now that he's broken through to the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage, sweeping through all the martial artists in the Origin Core Stage is nothing difficult for him, and he can be called the number one person below the Nascent Soul Stage!"
…
At the same time that the crowd of inner court disciples around the life and death arena ridiculed Fan Jian, they weren't stingy with their praise of Duan Lingtian in the slightest.
"But unfortunately, Duan Lingtian is still too impulsive."
"Yeah, if another two years passed, he might not be unable to surpass Senior Brother Liu Shi Ge."
"He's too impatient."
…
In next to no time, some inner court disciples couldn't help but sigh, and they felt pity for Duan Lingtian.
As far as they were concerned, even if Duan Lingtian was able to kill Fan Jian today, it would be extremely difficult for him to survive.
After all, besides Fan Jian, Duan Lingtian still had to face Liu Shi Ge, who was an inner court disciple at the Nascent Soul Stage.
A wisp of coldness appeared on the corners of Liu Shi Ge's mouth when he saw Duan Lingtian ascending the life and death arena. "Duan Lingtian, you're quite bold to actually dare ascend the life and death arena … Today, I, Liu Shi Ge, will send you on your way!"
Duan Lingtian glanced indifferently at Liu Shi Ge, then paid no further attention to him, and his gaze instead descended onto Fan Jian who was behind Liu Shi Ge.
As far as the bystanders were concerned, Duan Lingtian's target wasn't Liu Shi Ge, but Fan Jian!
Fan Jian's face went grim when he noticed Duan Lingtian's burning gaze, and he felt oppressed in his heart.
Before Duan Lingtian who was similarly at the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage, he felt that his cultivation at the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage was completely useless.
"Fan Jian, out of respect for Elder Lu Qiu that day, I intended to bury the hatchet with you … But unfortunately, you didn't cherish it properly. Today, I won't show mercy. "
