Fight a decisive battle

"Ye Xuan is here!"
Someone shouted, and all eyes outside the Ye family estate turned toward the entrance.
There, a man in a long robe walked out!
It was Ye Xuan!
Seeing Ye Xuan, the Grand Elder's expression turned cold, a sneer forming at the corner of his mouth.
On the other side, the heads of the Zhang family, the City Lord's Mansion, and the Li family also turned their attention to Ye Xuan.
Watching Ye Xuan stride calmly toward the dueling platform, Zhang Lie, the head of the Zhang family, nodded slightly. "Ye Xuan's composure and courage are indeed impressive. No wonder he caused so much trouble for the younger members of my Zhang family in the past."
Li Yu, the head of the Li family, also nodded. "This man is decisive, bold, and resourceful. He's a good talent. It's a pity the Ye family can't tolerate him. Otherwise, with Ye Lang managing internal affairs and Ye Xuan handling external matters, the Ye family could have become a powerful clan."
The City Lord said indifferently, "Ye Lang is the Grand Elder's direct grandson. The Grand Elder is narrow-minded and won't allow anyone to threaten Ye Lang's position. The more he thinks this way, the less likely the Ye family will become a great clan."
Hearing this, Li Yu and Zhang Lie nodded in agreement.
In aristocratic families, it was true that one mountain couldn't accommodate two tigers. However, this didn't mean that a family could only have one super genius. In some powerful families, there was usually one person managing internal affairs and another handling external matters. Who did what depended entirely on their abilities.
Scheming wasn't necessarily wrong, but if the family had the capability, the heirs wouldn't dare to act recklessly!
But in the Ye family's case, supporting one genius while suppressing another was extremely rare in the world!
Soon, Ye Xuan stepped onto the life-and-death platform. Across from him stood Ye Lang.
Ye Lang glanced at Ye Xuan and smiled faintly. Then he looked at the Grand Elder, who in turn looked toward the viewing platform. There, a middle-aged man and a beautiful woman were seated.
These two were not from Qingcheng but from Yan City and Luo City. They represented the two largest forces in those cities, forces that the Ye family couldn't afford to provoke at the moment!
Noticing the Grand Elder's gaze, the middle-aged man and the woman nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Seeing this, the Grand Elder smiled. He naturally understood that they were showing goodwill. He looked down and announced, "According to the rules of the Ye family, once on the life-and-death platform, life and death are in your own hands. No one is allowed to interfere. Today, the two of you will decide life and death. Whoever steps off the platform alive will live, and the dead party is not allowed to seek revenge! Begin!"
Begin!
Ye Lang looked at Ye Xuan and smiled. "Today will be your death anniversary. You..."
Before Ye Lang could finish, his expression suddenly changed because Ye Xuan, like a fierce tiger, charged at him!
Seeing this, everyone was stunned. No opening remarks? Just straight to the fight?
Ye Xuan had experienced countless life-and-death battles. These battles had taught him one thing: often, people died because they talked too much!
This was a life-and-death duel. Did they really need to exchange a few words before fighting?
Sorry, but Ye Xuan didn't follow that rule!
By striking first, Ye Xuan seized the initiative. When he reached Ye Lang, his momentum was at its peak. He threw a punch straight at Ye Lang's face!
Fist Crush!
This was a low-level martial technique of the Ye family, but Ye Xuan had mastered it to perfection. This punch could shatter stone and metal!
Feeling the power in Ye Xuan's fist, Ye Lang's expression changed. He didn't dare to be careless. He planted his right foot firmly behind him, crossed his arms, and blocked.
*Boom!*
With a low explosion, Ye Lang was sent flying backward!
Seeing this, the crowd was stunned.
Had Ye Lang been at a disadvantage in the first exchange?
On the viewing platform, the expressions of the Ye family elders turned extremely ugly! Especially the Grand Elder, whose face was dark with fury!
On the dueling platform, Ye Xuan didn't stop after his successful strike. He took a step forward, using the momentum of his charge to throw another punch at Ye Lang!
Pure physical strength!
In a small place like Qingcheng, martial techniques were rare. Most fights relied on physical strength and experience!
After Ye Lang stopped, his expression was extremely ugly. He hadn't expected Ye Xuan's strength to be so overwhelming. It completely exceeded his expectations! Seeing Ye Xuan's second punch coming, he didn't choose to block. Instead, he clenched his right fist and threw a punch at Ye Xuan!
A faint glow shimmered on his fist!
This was a sign of the Qi Transformation Realm. He could manipulate his own Qi, which enhanced his physical strength!
*Boom!*
The moment their fists collided, Ye Lang's expression changed drastically. In the next instant, he was sent flying backward, retreating several meters. Anyone with a keen eye could see that Ye Lang's entire arm was trembling violently!
On the viewing platform, the Grand Elder and the others suddenly stood up. The Grand Elder's eyes were filled with disbelief. "How is his strength so terrifying? This isn't something a fifth-grade Incessant Realm cultivator should possess!"
Around them, Li Yu and the others also looked surprised. Ye Xuan's strength was indeed abnormal!
On the other side, the middle-aged man and the woman from Yan City and Luo City exchanged a glance, their eyes also showing a hint of surprise.
On the life-and-death platform, after forcing Ye Lang back with a single strike, Ye Xuan pushed off with his right foot and charged forward again.
In an instant, he closed the distance of several meters!
When he reached Ye Lang, he planted his left foot firmly on the ground and swung his right leg in a powerful kick aimed at Ye Lang's shoulder!
As his leg swept through the air, a faint sonic boom could be heard!
A fierce glint flashed in Ye Lang's eyes. He didn't try to block the kick. Instead, he let Ye Xuan's kick land on his shoulder, but at the same time, he threw a punch at Ye Xuan's abdomen!
*Boom! Boom!*
Ye Lang was sent rolling to the side, while Ye Xuan was forced to retreat more than a dozen steps!
But he was completely unharmed!
He had withstood Ye Lang's punch with his physical body alone!
"How is this possible!"
On the viewing platform, the Grand Elder's eyes were filled with disbelief. "How could he be unharmed?"
On the other side, Li Yu and the others also frowned. Ye Xuan had taken Ye Lang's punch head-on and emerged unscathed!
On the life-and-death platform, Ye Lang was also unharmed because the armor he wore had absorbed most of the force from Ye Xuan's kick. But when he saw that Ye Xuan was also unharmed, Ye Lang's brows furrowed deeply. "How are you unharmed?"
That punch had been his full strength!
And it had been enhanced by his Qi!
Yet Ye Xuan had withstood it!
In the distance, Ye Xuan glanced at Ye Lang. He slowly clenched his right fist, and the sleeve of his robe exploded, revealing his arm, which was now covered in bulging veins, a terrifying sight!
Ye Lang stared at Ye Xuan. "You've hidden your strength. You..."
Before he could finish, his pupils suddenly contracted because Ye Xuan was already in front of him.
*Boom!*
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Ye Lang was sent flying again, this time to the edge of the dueling platform!
On the viewing platform, the Grand Elder roared, "This is a life-and-death duel! Stop wasting time with words!"
Clearly, he was extremely dissatisfied with Ye Lang!
Not just the Grand Elder, but the other elders were also displeased. Ye Lang had already suffered a setback in the first exchange, and now he was still wasting time with words. This was foolish!
On the life-and-death platform, Ye Xuan didn't stop. He charged at Ye Lang again!
In the distance, Ye Lang's expression turned ferocious. He raised his hands.
*Boom!*
A powerful surge of Qi erupted from his body!
"He's reached the Qi Mastery Realm!"
The crowd below erupted in exclamations!
"Heavens, he's really reached the Qi Mastery Realm! Ye Lang is only eighteen, right? He's already at the Qi Mastery Realm!"
"As expected of a super genius who triggered the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon..."
On the viewing platform, the Grand Elder and the others finally smiled, and their smiles were radiant!
The Grand Elder glanced at the middle-aged man and the woman from Yan City and Luo City. Both of them looked shocked.
Seeing this, the Grand Elder's smile grew even brighter!
On the life-and-death platform, Ye Lang glared at Ye Xuan with a ferocious expression. "Let me show you the gap between an ant like you and me!"
With that, he stomped his right foot and charged forward like a gust of wind!
A powerful surge of Qi surrounded him!
The Qi Mastery Realm meant he could manipulate Qi. This was no longer something a physical body could contend with!
Facing Ye Lang, Ye Xuan's expression remained calm. He slowly clenched his right fist, and a surge of power, like rolling waves, churned within his body!
The Golden Body Realm!
After reaching the Golden Body Realm, his strength had increased more than tenfold!
Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Xuan charged at Ye Lang!
On the viewing platform, people shook their heads. Ye Xuan was undoubtedly throwing an egg at a stone!
The Grand Elder's lips curled into a faint sneer. Using physical strength to contend with the Qi Mastery Realm? This was suicide!
Soon, under everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Lang and Ye Xuan grew closer.
A moment of silence.
*Boom!*
Under the gaze of countless people, a figure was sent flying!
Then everyone was stunned!
Because the person who was sent flying wasn't Ye Xuan—it was Ye Lang!
"How is this possible!"
The Grand Elder stared in disbelief at Ye Lang, who had been sent flying. He looked as if he had lost his soul!
Around the life-and-death platform, everyone was petrified, staring at the scene.
Was it over?
Had the Chosen One been defeated just like that?
On the life-and-death platform, Ye Xuan didn't stop. He continued charging at the flying Ye Lang!
"Outrageous!"
At this moment, the Grand Elder on the viewing platform suddenly roared. In the next instant, he leaped onto the dueling platform and threw a palm strike at Ye Xuan!
Seeing the Grand Elder attack, a fierce glint flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes. He didn't retreat. Instead, he charged forward and threw a punch at the Grand Elder!
*Boom!*
With a low explosion, the Grand Elder was sent flying several meters away!
Ye Xuan was about to continue his attack when the other Ye family elders rushed onto the life-and-death platform. At the same time, countless Ye family guards armed with crossbows appeared around the platform!
Ye Xuan slowly clenched his fists and coldly glanced around. "What's this? A group fight during a life-and-death duel?"
In the distance, the Grand Elder suddenly pointed at Ye Xuan and roared, "Ye Xuan, you cheated!"
Ye Xuan looked at the Grand Elder, who shouted, "Your dantian is clearly shattered! How do you have such terrifying strength?"
Ye Xuan sneered. "None of your damn business!"
Everyone: "..."
