Chapter 847: 669 Life and Death Battle! Falling off the Horse [1 Update]_2

"Ancient Martial Grandmaster?!"

These four words shocked everyone present.

Becoming an Ancient Martial Grandmaster was a significant hurdle; only one in ten ancient martial artists could overcome it.

Could Ling Mianxi, not even twenty yet, already become an Ancient Martial Grandmaster?

Mother Ling, prioritizing Ling Mianxi’s health, hurriedly left, her hands trembling, "I’ll get the glucose."

The room fell silent once again.

"Daddy Ying, I saw those hunters on the NOK forum saying that fortune tellers are the most powerful beings," Jiang Ran said irritably, scratching his head, "Can’t they change the fate and doom Xie Huanran?"

"It’s not as simple as you think." Ying Zijin chuckled lightly, "But we can certainly work on that aspect."

Jiang Ran was taken aback.

"Go to the Judicial Hall and get a life-and-death duel agreement," Ying Zijin said, tapping the table, "Have Xie Nian sign it."

Life-and-death duels were common in the Ancient Martial World, mostly used to settle grudges through combat.

Both parties who signed the life-and-death duel agreement accepted the outcome, whether life or death, without seeking revenge afterwards.

This was a vow.

For ancient martial artists, vows were not to be made lightly.

If broken, it would result in sinful force feedback.

"I want her to die painfully in front of everyone," Ying Zijin said calmly, "to grind her so-called genius title into the dirt."

Jiang Ran understood Ying Zijin’s intention, his spirit lifted, and he stood up immediately, "Alright, I’ll go now."

Ying Zijin nodded.

She also stood up, walked to the table, and looked at the broken phone she had taken from Ling Mianxi. Her gaze hardened.

Although it was broken, she knew who the messages were sent to.

Ying Zijin sighed softly, put away the phone, and went to the repair shop outside.

**

At this moment.

In a war-torn region on Earth.

A new round of fighting had begun, and Nie Yi retreated behind the safety line.

During his break, he hurriedly took a few bites of bread and picked up his phone to respond to messages.

Nie Yi

The three texts were clearly sent in a rush, with some words out of order and some only having initials in pinyin.

But Nie Yi managed to piece together the complete messages.

[It seems I can’t wait for you anymore.]

[Please, I beg you, hold your position. Many people are waiting for you to save them. This is the Nie Yi I love.]

[Take care, L.]

Nie Yi’s heart clenched suddenly, as if a hand was gripping it tightly, making it hard for him to breathe.

Overhead, the bombers continued to drone incessantly.

In front of him was the blinding fire and thick black smoke.

He felt the world spinning, his ears ringing.

Nie Yi didn’t know why Ling Mianxi had sent those messages, but he could guess the outcome.

"Boss!" A team leader nearby quickly supported him, thinking he was too exhausted, "Boss, you haven’t slept for three days and nights. You should get some rest."

The IBI’s rescue team had just arrived, giving them a moment’s respite.

"I’m fine." Nie Yi steadied his breath, pushed away the team leader’s hand, and pursed his lips, "Help me apply for leave. I need to return to the country."

The team leader was stunned, "Captain?"

Nie Yi didn’t respond.

He put on his dust-covered coat, donned his helmet, and left the bombed area without looking back.

Home must be guarded, the world must be protected, and those around him must not be abandoned.

**

The next morning, the life-and-death duel agreement from the Judicial Hall was directly sent to the Xie Family.

At that moment, Xie Nian was eating, her mood instantly ruined.

"Who sent me a life-and-death duel agreement?" Xie Nian asked impatiently, "Are they tired of living?"

She had no intention of signing a life-and-death duel agreement.

"Nian Nian, it’s Ying Zijin! That ancient medicine genius!" The Patriarch Xie was thrilled. "It’s not some ancient martial artist, Nian Nian, this is a great opportunity!"

Xie Nian frowned, "Ying Zijin? An ancient medicine practitioner, dare to?"

She had expected someone from the Ling Family to come seeking revenge for Ling Mianxi.

But she hadn’t thought of Ying Zijin.

Apart from playing with gold and silver needles, what else could Ying Zijin do?

An ancient medicine practitioner, imitating ancient martial artists in a life-and-death duel.

They must be tired of living.

"Great, this Ying Zijin is brainless, giving me a chance to eliminate her." Xie Nian sneered, "Handing herself over on a platter, thinking I’ll spare her."

"Bring me a pen."

Madam Xie hurriedly handed her a pen and said, "Nian Nian, since she’s come to us, then sign it."

Xie Nian, always cautious, never signed a life-and-death duel agreement easily.

As the Great Elder of the Xie Family was a strong diviner, Xie Nian knew from a young age that vows were not to be made lightly.

Otherwise, sinful force feedback would bring bad luck to her and the Xie Family.

But an ancient medicine practitioner dared to challenge her?

Where did she get the courage?

Xie Nian sneered and signed her name without hesitation.

The vow was made!

Xie Nian threw the pen, "Let’s go to Autumn Leaf Lake now."

Autumn Leaf Lake was the place for life-and-death duels, with many corpses buried at the bottom.

She intended to make Ying Zijin one of them.

The Patriarch Xie and Madam Xie exchanged glances and nodded.

"Call Fengfeng and the rest of the family members." The Patriarch Xie beamed, "Today at Autumn Leaf Lake, Nian Nian is going to kill Ying Zijin. It’s a rare spectacle not to be missed."

He couldn’t believe Ying Zijin was stupid enough to walk into their trap.

It was a golden opportunity not to be missed.

**

Ying Zijin’s duel challenge to Xie Nian spread throughout the Ancient Martial World that morning.

By the time of the duel at two o’clock, the spectator stage by Autumn Leaf Lake was already packed.

In the five to six hundred years of the Ancient Martial World’s history, there had never been a life-and-death duel with such a disparity in strength.

An ancient medicine practitioner versus the foremost young genius of the Ancient Martial World?

Many were curious and whispered among themselves.

Some wanted to intervene, but once the agreement was signed, nothing could change it.

The Lin Family’s side.

"This Ying Zijin is so young and impetuous," Lin Jinyun remarked, shaking his head, "Impatience in minor matters disrupts major plans. Acting on impulse won’t lead to great achievements."

He paused and turned, "Qingjia, what do you think?"

Lin Qingjia, eyes filled with contemplation, slowly replied, "No, this is a decision she made after thorough consideration."

Lin Jinyun was taken aback, "Why do you say so?"

Lin Qingjia didn’t answer, just looked at the stage in the center of the lake.

Xie Nian had already been sitting there cross-legged an hour ago.

Despite her growing impatience, the thought of eliminating Ying Zijin gave her patience.

"Why did Ying Zijin challenge Xie Nian? Does she have the strength?"

"An ancient medicine practitioner fighting an ancient martial artist? Unbelievable."

Many were there out of curiosity, none surprised by the expected outcome.

Everyone anticipated Ying Zijin being killed by Xie Nian in a single move.

At two o’clock, Xie Nian’s patience finally wore thin.

She stood up abruptly and sneered, "Ying Zijin, aren’t you coming? You issued the life-and-death duel, I accepted. Are you scared?!"

As Xie Nian spoke, her inner strength resonated, causing ripples in Autumn Leaf Lake.

But suddenly!

"Buzzing—"

A sharp wind blew, stabilizing the lake’s surface ripples forcibly.

Xie Nian’s expression froze as she looked up.

In the distance, Ying Zijin descended from the sky, stepping steadily as if walking on solid ground.

She moved gracefully, without any external force, stepping onto the lake.

"....."

All sounds ceased abruptly.

An ancient martial artist!

No, not just an ancient martial artist, but a dual-cultivated ancient medicine practitioner and martial artist!

The silent Autumn Leaf Lake echoed with a girl’s cold voice amid Xie Nian’s gradually stiffening expression.

"Xie Nian, I’ve come to kill you."
