For them, it didn't matter whether they won or lost the competition. At most, they would let the Seventh Lord's Mansion show off for a while, but they would not get any substantial benefits.
However, once Ling Yun agreed to the bet and lost, Ling Yun would marry the Seventh Lord, and the Qingyun Security Company would become the property of the Seventh Lord's Mansion. At that time, no one in Ninghai could compete with the Seventh Lord's Mansion. That situation was absolutely not what they wanted to see.
"Be quiet, everyone. I have my own ideas!"
Lingyun had been a big sister for a period of time and had seen a lot of big scenes. She had long cultivated an imposing manner without being angry. After she shouted, everyone immediately shut their mouths and looked at her eagerly.
Seeing that Ling Yun agreed, Lord Seven was overjoyed. He was afraid that there would be changes if he delayed, so he quickly said, "What are your conditions?"
Ling Yun ignored him, turned to Zhang Heping and other people on the rostrum, cupped her hands, and said in a clear voice, "I want to ask, if I kill someone on the arena, will I be held criminally liable?"
Zhang Heping and the others were all dumbfounded. Although swords and sabers had no eyes in a fight between martial artists, if there was no deep hatred between them, very few people would try to kill each other. Most of the time, they would stop when it was appropriate, and at most, they would seriously injure each other.
Lord Seven's face instantly became gloomy. He thought that Ling Yun would put forward some conditions. It turned out that she wanted his life.
But he had investigated Ling Yun's strength. She had just entered the Supreme Power Realm not long ago. It was impossible for her to be his opponent at all. Moreover, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to annex the Qingyun Security Company. How could he easily let it go?
Ling Yun's question stumped them for a while. After looking at each other for a long time, Zhang Heping coughed and said, "Haha, well, in the Warriors' Assembly, the competition is just to learn from each other. Although swords and sabers have no eyes, it is not good to kill someone."
"What if I make a life-and-death contract according to the rules of Jianghu?"
Ling Yun seemed to have made up her mind and continued to ask.
The life-and-death contract in Jianghu was a life-and-death bet made by irreconcilable enemies. It was also an unwritten rule in the martial arts world. Once the contract was signed, one party must die before it could end. No one could interfere or retaliate afterwards.
Although it was against the law, in order to prevent martial artists from taking revenge by any means necessary, which would cause social unrest and unrest, it was better to let both parties voluntarily resolve their grievances by fighting to the death according to the rules of the Jianghu. After all, the country also had special policies for the special group of martial artists.
In the previous Warriors' Assembly, there had been cases of enemies signing contracts to fight to the death when they met. As long as both parties voluntarily signed a life-and-death contract, the National Warrior's Mansion would not interfere and would not pursue criminal responsibility afterward.
"This … a duel to the death is possible, but are you sure? Let's think about it carefully before making a decision. "
Although Zhang Heping did not know that Lingyun and Ding Ning were lovers, he knew that they had a close relationship. He was afraid that something bad would happen to her and he could not explain it to Ding Ning, so he kindly advised her.
"Don't stop them. Let them sign."
As soon as Zhang Heping finished speaking, he heard Ding Ning's voice, which was as thin as a gossamer, which surprised him. He did not expect that this Youngest Martial Uncle had reached the cultivation of voice transmission. No wonder he was the only disciple of the Country Guarding Martial Marquis.
"There's no need to think about it. I've made up my mind!"
Lingyun said resolutely.
"I also agree. Since Master Yun doesn't want to be my princess, then go to hell."
Lord Seven's face was gloomy as he said with a sneer.
"Since both parties are willing, we can only act according to the rules of the Jianghu. Come and get the life-and-death contract."
After Zhang Heping received Ding Ning's voice transmission, he no longer dissuaded him. He ordered someone to bring the standard contract in triplicate. After both parties signed it, they each took one copy, and the remaining one was left in the Seventeenth Bureau for filing.
After the contract was signed, the Seventeenth Bureau was equivalent to a notary and guarantor. If the relatives and friends of the killed party sought revenge, the winning party had the right to request the Seventeenth Bureau to protect them and had the obligation to bring the person seeking revenge to justice to maintain the authority of the life-and-death duel.
"Very well, I want to see what the famous Master Yun is capable of."
Lord Seven felt that victory was in his grasp. After signing the contract, he sneered proudly.
"You'll see. Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it."
Lingyun said expressionlessly, but the killing intent in her beautiful eyes was not concealed at all.
"Why? Is there such a big hatred between us? "
Although Lord Seven did not think that he would lose, he was still a little creeped out by Lingyun's killing intent. He felt that even if it was a fight for territory, there was no need to make it look like there was a blood feud. He asked in confusion.
"Using me as a wager in front of my man will make my man unhappy. If he's unhappy, I'll be unhappy. So, you must die."
Lingyun looked at Lord Seven with pity in her eyes and said faintly.
The look in her eyes made Lord Seven fly into a rage. He gritted his teeth and said, "When I kill you, I will find your man and slowly kill him."
Unexpectedly, the threat that he felt was very imposing was exchanged with laughter from the Qingyun Security. They looked at him as if they were looking at a clown, as if it was a very funny joke.
The people from the Seventh Wangye's Mansion were all confused. They did not know what was so funny about such a threat. Only those who knew the relationship between Ding Ning and Ling Yun knew that this sentence was not only a joke, but a very funny one. Not to mention Ding Ning's extraordinary martial strength, just based on his identity as the Director of the Seventeenth Bureau, even if the Seventh Wangye was eight times more courageous, he would not dare to touch a hair of Ding Ning.
This was probably equivalent to the sneer of an ant who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth saying that he would slaughter the Ninth Heaven Divine Dragon. Even Lingyun, who was full of anger, could not help but laugh out loud.
Although she did not know what realm Ding Ning's current cultivation was, she knew that Ding Ning's strength had reached an incredible level based on the fact that he could make her a peak grandmaster in minutes.
"What's so funny? I will do what I say. Hurry up and start. Don't dawdle."
Lord Seven was laughed at inexplicably. Looking at everyone's mocking eyes, he, who had always been headstrong and self-opinionated, suddenly flew into a rage. He waved his hand angrily and returned to his seat in the waiting area with a gloomy face.
As he waved his hand, a great grandmaster behind Lord Seven immediately jumped into the ring. He provocatively extended his little finger to the Qingyun Security and others, and his face was full of contempt.
"Can I sign a life and death contract with him?"
Lang Dong could not wait to stand up and fight, and asked Zhang Heping timidly.
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent!
"You guys have a grudge?"
Zhang Heping was stunned. Damn, what kind of people are these Qingyun Security people? Are they guys who don't care about their lives?
Lang Dong smiled shyly and said confidently, "That big beard insulted our Young … Master Yun. This guy actually dared to laugh just now, so I want to kill him."
Everyone suddenly burst into an uproar. They looked at Lang Dong as if they were looking at a madman. It was just a bet. Although there was some suspicion of taking advantage of him, it was too ruthless to kill someone just because of this.
Lord Seven's face instantly turned livid. He did not expect the Qingyun Security people to be so arrogant. The people of the prairie all worshipped warriors, so how could they be afraid? With a gloomy face, he quietly gestured to the great grandmaster on the stage.
The great grandmaster on the stage nodded imperceptibly. He was so angry that he smiled and said, "It just so happens that I also don't like him. Let's sign a life and death contract."
Zhang Heping and the others were speechless. They had held so many Martial Artist Conventions, but it was the first time they saw such a situation where a life and death duel over a disagreement.
"Approved. By the way, prepare a few more life and death contracts so that we don't have to collect them later."
Ding Ning's calm voice transmission clearly sounded in Zhang Heping's mind, causing him to turn pale with fright. How much hatred is there? Are these five consecutive life and death duels?
However, since Ding Ning had instructed him, he naturally had to do as he was told. He immediately ordered people to prepare a few more life and death contracts, which made Gu Jianyang and the others puzzled.
Lang Dong and the great grandmaster signed the contracts respectively, then jumped onto the stage and began the duel.
The news spread quickly, and those Jianghu heroes who had already woken up from their drunken stupor rushed over to watch the life and death duel that had caused a huge wave before the Martial Artist Convention officially began. Although they did not think that it would be a master, a life and death duel was still a gimmick.
Ninghai Qingyun Security Company and Lord Seven's Mansion, these two forces that were only slightly famous in Jiangnan, also quickly spread among the crowd, causing everyone to talk about it. They looked forward to this fierce battle and hoped that it would not disappoint them.
As a result, everyone was stunned when they started fighting. Was this the strength that an underground force could have? Even in their martial arts sects and families, it was rare to have a great grandmaster.
Although both of them controlled their strength to only use the strength of a grandmaster, the aura and power that far exceeded the grandmaster level made them realize that the strength of these two people was definitely beyond the grandmaster level. They were at least great grandmasters.
F * ck, there were strange things every year, but only this year had more. This Martial Artist Convention was simply a historical first. Not only did Director Ding, who did not play by the rules and dared to throw out the deputy chief guard of Yulin Guard, but now the two underground forces had each sent a great grandmaster for the first battle.
Great grandmasters were not cabbages. In any sect, they would be a stabilizing existence. Shouldn't this kind of trump card appear at the end? Why did he appear in the first battle? This completely subverted their understanding of the Martial Artist Tournament.
The great grandmaster of Lord Seven's Mansion pulled out his scimitar as soon as he came up and slashed at Lang Dong's neck without hesitation.
Coincidentally, the wolf riders also used scimitars. Perhaps they wanted to see the great grandmaster's methods. They grinned and did not even use their scimitars. Instead, they leaned to the side to avoid the slash.
The great grandmaster was not to be trifled with. When he saw that Lang Dong did not draw his scimitar, he was obviously looking down on him. Instead of getting angry, he turned the hilt of his scimitar slightly. The cold edge of the scimitar slashed diagonally at Lang Dong's chest from an unimaginable angle.
This was one of his trump cards. He wanted to kill Lang Dong in the shortest time possible and create enough pressure on the Clear Sky Security to affect the opponent's morale.
This change was as fast as lightning, causing everyone to involuntarily sit up straight and secretly break out in a cold sweat. Only Ding Ning, Zi Que 'er, and the others were calm and composed. With this kind of strength, not to mention whether it would be able to hit Lang Dong, even if it could, it would not be able to break his skin.
As expected, in the next moment, Lang Dong grinned. He licked his lips and revealed a bloodthirsty smile. He even said, "You can die now."
Just as everyone's faces were filled with shock and thought that he was boasting, Lang Dong did not retreat. Instead, he advanced and directly and violently threw a punch at the scimitar.
With a crack, the sharp scimitar actually broke into pieces. However, the force of the punch did not dissipate. It landed heavily on the chest of the great grandmaster who was holding the scimitar and had a blank expression on his face.
Crack!
The crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard. The great grandmaster's protective Qi of Vigor did not have any effect. His sternum was directly broken. The terrifying fist directly pierced through his chest, revealing a bloody fist on his back.
The visual impact of this bloody and violent scene was extremely shocking. In an instant, the entire crowd was dead silent.
