First chapter! I owe everyone this chapter from last night. My body was at its limit last night, and my mind was blank, so I couldn't write it out. Please understand.

Wherever there were people, there would be society, and as long as there was society, there would definitely be rules.
There were many rules in the society, but there was only one rule that could be used to resolve conflicts, especially to resolve enmity between two parties.
A duel to the death!
The so-called old rule was that between people, families, or ancient martial arts sects, if there was enmity that could not be reconciled or resolved, then it would be resolved by a duel to the death!
The old rule that Chen Jingxuan proposed was naturally a duel to the death between families. The Chen Family and the Ling Family were going to have a duel to the death!
This sort of life and death battle had strict procedures and rules. Once both sides made an agreement, then they had to strictly abide by the rules of the life and death battle. Whoever violated the rules would definitely become the target of public criticism, be spurned by everyone, and be cursed and killed by everyone.
After the agreement was made, both parties had to sign a life and death agreement, stating that the duel was voluntary. Regardless of victory or defeat, life or death, it was up to fate and had nothing to do with anything else.
After signing the life and death agreement, the time and place were chosen. There could be witnesses, or there could be none. Both parties had to make their own preparations and wait for the day of the duel to arrive to fight to the death.
In this kind of life and death battle, no matter what the goal was, whether it was reputation, women, benefits, hatred, or anything else, as long as one won, he would win everything, and whatever he said would be the law. As for the losing side, they could only allow themselves to be trampled upon, and everything would be over.
Before the time of the duel arrived, it was time for both parties to prepare based on their own abilities. However, during this time, neither party could provoke or attack the other party. If either party provoked or attacked the other party, then there was no need to continue the duel and it would automatically be considered as the loser.
During the duel, both parties could fight one on one or as a team. The specific method of fighting would be decided after the two parties reached an agreement. Of course, this wasn't important.
The important thing was that in this kind of duel to the death that Chen Jingxuan proposed, the two families could invite anyone to help them, or even directly send someone to fight. During the duel, they could use all their trump cards and use any means at all!
This was because once the result of this duel was revealed, it would decide the life and death of a family!
Life and death would be decided immediately!
In other words, the true binding force of this life and death duel was only before the duel began. The binding force was the time and place of the duel, as well as the method of the duel. Also, before the duel, no one could provoke the other.
In addition, after the outcome of the duel, the winner could obtain whatever he wanted from the loser.
Of course, the last condition was nonsense. In this kind of life and death duel, after the battle, the losing side would basically be dead. Of course, everything would be decided by the winning side.
It could be said that this kind of life and death duel was a battle to the death. It was just that due to the difference in status between the two dueling parties, they chose a more dignified way of fighting to the death.
This was the old rule that Chen Jingxuan had mentioned — one battle to determine life and death.
Now, the hatred between the Ling and Chen Families could no longer be resolved. Instead of constantly scheming against each other and exhausting each other's strength, they might as well do it this way.
Both the Ling and Chen Families were big families in Huaxia. They had to be dignified. Moreover, Chen Jingxuan was a member of the Heavenly Team. This method of settling things was undoubtedly beneficial to both parties.
This was especially beneficial to the Chen Family. Otherwise, there would be no one left in the Chen Family if Ling Yun bumped into the Chen Family twice more.
Even if there was only Chen Jingxuan left in the end, what was the use of being a commander without an army? The Chen Family would still be wiped out, and there would be no meaning for him to live.
Ling Lie, of course, understood what the old rule that Chen Jingxuan had mentioned meant. He asked directly, "Old rule? Which one? "
Chen Jingxuan's lips curled into a vicious smile. "Of course, the most ruthless one."
Everyone prepared, inviting anyone, using any means necessary, and using all their trump cards. Life and death were up to fate. This was the most ruthless one.
Ling Lie's heart trembled. Chen Jingxuan had completely shed all pretense of cordiality. He wanted to use this battle to wipe out the entire Ling Family.
This was because the most ruthless method of dueling was advantageous to the Chen Family and disadvantageous to the Ling Family.
Chen Jingxuan had been in Huaxia's Heavenly Team for more than thirty years. It could be said that he had friends everywhere in the Heavenly Team. He even had a few close friends who were all in the Divine Power Realm.
Furthermore, the Chen Family had some connections in both the East and the West. They were bound together for good or bad. At that time, not to mention the one-on-one battle, if it was a group battle, how would the Ling Family fight?
Now, there was no one left in the Chen Family except for Chen Jingxuan and Chen Jingtian. They could choose to fight with their backs to the wall, but the Ling Family couldn't do that.
The Ling Family had just activated the Ling Family's inheritance last night. Everyone in the family had received great benefits. This was just the beginning. It was only a matter of time before they would rise again.
One of them happened to be the rising sun, while the other was the setting sun. Fighting like this was equivalent to a person who had won a lot of money going to a gambler who had lost so much that he was about to jump off a building to decide the outcome.
Ling Lie didn't agree to Chen Jingxuan immediately. He was hesitating. The Ling Family would lose too much if they fought like this.
What the Ling Family needed now was time, but Chen Jingxuan clearly saw something and didn't give them any time.
"What? Is the Ling Family afraid? Weren't you very arrogant just now? "
Chen Jingxuan stood with his hands behind his back, as though he was certain that Ling Lie wouldn't agree.
"Grandpa, agree to him."
At this time, Ling Lie heard Ling Yun's voice. Ling Yun used telepathy to ask him to agree to Chen Jingxuan.
"Yun Er, you don't understand the old rules of Huaxia. Chen Jingxuan proposed the most ruthless duel to the death. Both parties can invite anyone they want, and the Ling Family will be at a disadvantage."
Ling Lie also used telepathy and told Ling Yun the key points in a few words.
"Grandpa, the Ling Family and the Chen Family are like fire and water. If we don't agree, the Ling Family will be at a disadvantage too."
Ling Yun used telepathy again.
Unlike Ling Lie, Ling Yun was thinking about something else.
Now that the Ling Family and the Chen Family were at an irreconcilable state, Ling Yun could kill Chen Jianjie, Chen Jianhao, Chen Haishan, and so on …
Similarly, Chen Jingxuan could do the same to the members of the Ling Family who were alone and kill them one by one.
Chen Jingxuan's move just now made Ling Yun very cautious.
In the past, Ling Yun was a loner. In terms of family, he only needed to protect Ning Lingyu and that would be enough.
But now, Ling Yun had returned to his family. The Ling Family had a large family, and they were all his family. If Chen Jingxuan took revenge, the Ling Family would only die faster.
How would the Ling Family rise then?
So, instead of doing this, it was better to fight to the death.
They were going to die sooner or later anyway.
As if he could hear the urgency in Chen Jingxuan's words, Ling Lie's heart skipped a beat. Without thinking further, he looked up at Chen Jingxuan and said, "Alright, the old rules. The Ling Family agrees to the most ruthless one!"
"Hahahaha, awesome!"
Chen Jingxuan laughed hysterically when he heard Ling Lie agree. Suddenly, he stopped laughing and said coldly, "It's been many years since a life-and-death duel between the big families of Huaxia happened. I didn't expect it to happen between the Ling Family and the Chen Family!"
Chen Jingxuan looked at Ling Lie and said, "Then, let's set the life-and-death duel ten days from now. What do you think?"
Ling Yun's sudden appearance today caught the Chen Family off guard. Chen Jingxuan naturally had to make preparations. Even though he didn't want to give the Ling Family too much time, he had no choice but to schedule the duel ten days from now.
Chen Jingxuan had to wait for his friends, the Japanese ninjas.
Since he agreed to the life-and-death duel, Ling Lie didn't care about the time. He smiled proudly and said, "Alright, let's set it to the last night of this month."
Today was the 20th of August, so the night ten days from now would naturally be the 31st of August.
Then, Ling Lie said, "However, since you've decided on the time, shouldn't the Ling Family decide on the location?"
If one party chose the time, the other party had to choose the location. That was the rule.
Otherwise, if the Chen Family picked the time and then chose the location, the Ling Family would be too passive.
Chen Jingxuan put on an indifferent expression and said, "The Ling Family can choose the location. Just let me know when you're preparing the documents."
Since the Ling Family had agreed to the old rule, Chen Jingxuan didn't care about such small matters.
If he wasn't confident of winning, why would he suggest this method to Ling Lie?
Ling Lie smiled and said, "What about the format of the duel?"
Chen Jingxuan waved his hand and said, "Two one-on-one duels and one team battle. Best of three? Or whatever you decide. I don't have any objections. "
In a life-and-death duel, one could resort to any means necessary. That wasn't important at all, so Chen Jingxuan didn't care.
However, this was too arrogant!
"Alright, old man, we'll do as you say. Two one-on-one duels and one team battle. I'll accept it!" Ling Yun sneered in his heart.
Chen Jingxuan abruptly turned his head and stared fixedly at Ling Yun, saying in a deep voice, "Ling Yun, I know the inheritance of my Chen Family is in your hands now, but I won't take it today. However, don't forget to bring it to me on the day of the duel! "
The Blood Element Pearl!
Ling Yun smiled coldly. "I will definitely bring it with me. Don't worry! However, do you really have the ability to take it back? "
"Brat, you've been showing off for long enough. Don't cry ten days later!" Chen Jingxuan sneered.
He turned around and waved at the Chen Family. "Let's go!"
Chen Jingxuan didn't even ask about the lives of Chen Jianwei and Chen Sen.
Hearing this, the people of the Chen Family glanced coldly at the Ling Family, then hurriedly carried Chen Jingtian and his son to the car and left.
The Ling Family and the Chen Family were going to have a life-and-death duel ten days later!
The news spread throughout the capital in an instant! (To be continued.)
