Chapter Eighty-One: Fight to the Death (Early Morning Request for Recommendation Votes)

  Thank you everyone for the recommendation votes, yesterday alone, it suddenly increased by six thousand several hundred votes, very powerful, really very powerful. Thank you all. Shamelessly asking again to help me with more fierce firepower, stand firmly on the weekly push~ otherwise being squeezed down would be miserable

  "Wow~ If you like it, I'll accompany you."

  Lei Dong carried his hands on his back, with an expressionless face, as if he had agreed to it. It wasn't about a life-or-death struggle, but rather going out for a drink in a relaxed and carefree manner.

  This time, it was Ba Li Yun's turn to be taken aback. He had originally thought that if Lei Dong refused, he could come up with even more insulting words to provoke him. But who would have thought that Lei Dong would agree so readily and casually? For a moment, Ba Li Yun was left in a state of stunned uncertainty. Could it be that this kid had some kind of trump card up his sleeve?

  Although Leidong's personality is cautious, he is actually a decisive person. Knowing that this time with Baili Yun, only one of them can leave alive, he has also put down all his psychological burdens. From the analysis of the previous Demon Sound Transmission event, Leidong guessed that those old ancestors should have placed heavy bets on this duel.

  It's clear that they've placed a heavy bet, one that might involve half of their family fortune. Even the enchantress who has no relation to him has joined in, and naturally, the old ancestor of the Ten Thousand Ghosts has also placed a heavy wager. If he loses this match, even if the old ancestor spares his life out of sentimentality and exiles him to the border, allowing him to fend for himself... beings like the enchantress will absolutely not let him off so easily.

  It's better to be brave than timid. Once successful, not only will Wan Gui Lao Zu regard himself as a true confidant, but also the beautiful demon who wins money because of him will look at him with new eyes. By moving around more, he might gain another powerful connection. The fact that the beautiful demon can stand on the same side as Wan Gui Lao Zu shows that their relationship is not shallow.

  Furthermore, cultivating immortality is itself an act of defying the heavens. If one can't even pass the test of Baiyun's hundred-mile boundary, then what's the point of talking about cultivating immortality or defying the heavens?

  Both sides are arrayed against each other, and sometimes the momentum is crucial. If one side has strong momentum, and the other side does not dare to respond, they will often lose momentum.

  Baili Yun's face was somewhat uncertain, slightly guilty, but also knew that losing a person didn't mean losing the formation. He had proposed this life-and-death battle himself, and now that the opponent had agreed, backing out would be unforgivable to Ku Gu Laizu. Thinking of this, Baili Yun also revealed a mocking expression: "Leidong, you've finally crawled out from between a woman's legs. However, today you will undoubtedly die."

  "Are you done scolding? If not, I can wait for you to finish. Lei Donghuan smiled calmly with his hands clasped together: 'As for someone who is already dead, I, Lei, have never held grudges.'"

  "Hmph." Seeing that his verbal abuse had no effect, Baili Yun coldly snorted and said with a gloomy expression: "Bring me the Life and Death Agreement."

  In the Ten-Year Grand Competition, it was not just this family that signed a life-and-death contract. Since ancient times, many direct disciples have chosen to fight to the death in the Ten-Year Grand Competition if their conflicts cannot be resolved. Those who die will disappear into thin air, and everything will be settled once and for all. The winners, on the other hand, will make a name for themselves and leave a deep impression among the upper echelons of their sect, making their future path to immortality much smoother.

  Thus, the referee of the foundation-building period directly took out the life-and-death agreement from his arms and first handed it to Baili Yun who had proposed it. Then he brought it in front of Lei Dong, who didn't even glance at it before signing his name with a flourish.

  "The third match of the Bronze Arena. Kong Quefeng versus Wan Gui Ku Lei Dong, changed to a life and death duel between the two."

  That Zhuge period judgment, with a solemn expression. Suddenly, a sharp light burst out in his eyes: "Life and death duel, start."

  As soon as the sound began, before it had even faded away, the two figures simultaneously flashed and transformed into a faint, ghostly shadow that was elusive and unpredictable. The only difference was that Baili Yun was constantly trying to get closer to Leidong, while Leidong was making an effort to pull away from her.

  The two of them quickly rose from the ground, leaping into the air several meters high. They chased and pursued each other, flashing and dodging. Leaving behind countless residual shadows, ordinary people's eyes couldn't catch their movements at all.

  "Huh? This Lei kid really has some skills, his Ghost Shadow Escape is much better than last time, he was indeed hiding his true strength." Yanmo saw that both of them were using the same Ghost Shadow Escape technique and were evenly matched. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised and delighted, saying: "His basic skills are even more solid than I expected."

  "What's the use of being even more solid in basic skills?" The withered bone's face remained unmoved, and he coldly snorted: "Baili Yun is much stronger than him, it's only a matter of time before this kid exhausts himself to death."

  "If words could kill with just a mouthful, I'd have died countless times by now." Wan Gui sneered.

  ……

  The hundred-mile cloud below was a stuffy chest, relying on his own eleven-layer peak cultivation to also display the ghost shadow escape technique, but he could only barely keep up with Leidong. Did this kid not cultivate normally and specialize in practicing the ghost shadow escape technique every day? This was what he thought, but it was wrong. Leidong's spiritual root talent was mid-to-upper level, but his comprehension ability was extremely good. After crossing over, he understood how to quickly master techniques. Of course, a large amount of practice was still unavoidable.

  Lei Dong was also somewhat bitter, this Baili Yun was indeed difficult to deal with. He had already pushed the Ghost Shadow Shift to its limits. No matter how he dodged and weaved within this range, quickly flashing up and down, he couldn't shake off Baili Yun who was clinging to him like a maggot on bone. However, while running the Ghost Shadow Shift at full power, it was basically impossible to activate his techniques or summon ghost soldiers. His own cultivation was lower than Lei Dong's, if this continued, his true energy would definitely be depleted first. The gap between them was just too great, even if Lei Dong had been tempered in the Xiao Yin Cave for a year, his true energy might be more refined and easier to conserve during battle. But how could conserving true energy make up for a difference of almost four layers?

  It seems that's the only way. Lei Dong's flowing and elusive figure paused slightly, just as Baili Yun thought he could take advantage of the situation to move forward, but was shocked to see a dark-colored bead shooting towards him. Baili Yun naturally recognized it, this was the Yin Suo Lei, a powerful killing move among low-level disciples.

  Baili Yun, who had just suffered from the dark and sinister Lei's attack, suddenly stopped in her tracks and swiftly dodged to the side, barely avoiding the incoming attack. Lei took advantage of the opportunity to burst into speed, seemingly opening up a distance of seven or eight zhangs in an instant. Afterwards, he slowed down slightly, rapidly invoking his magic seal, summoning forth the Bloodthirsty Ghost Troops.

  When the bloodthirsty ghost had just appeared, that dark and ominous lightning struck the transparent ban outside the arena, exploding with a loud noise, shaking the air into waves, and evil energy spilled out in all directions.

  "Whoosh~" The bloodthirsty ghost suddenly started the Bloodthirsty Technique. As his body turned bright red, he violently charged towards Baili Yun, forming a scarlet-colored flame tail behind him.

  Baili Yun's face was somewhat gloomy, and now that Lei Dong had summoned the first ghost soldier, with Lei Dong's mastery of Guiying Dun, he could completely use the ghost soldier as a shield to block Baili Yun's pursuit. The next battle would likely be conducted in a mediocre manner. Seeing the ferocious and bloodthirsty ghost soldier charging over with a loud roar, Baili Yun stretched out his right hand at an angle, and a flying sword burning with fierce flames appeared outside his palm, its blade slanting outward.

  With a loud shout, his right hand swung forward fiercely. The Flame Flying Sword burst out with an ear-piercing sound, tearing through the air and stabbing towards Lei Dong with great momentum. Within a short distance of several meters, the body of the Flame Flying Sword suddenly expanded several times in size.

  Lei's face didn't change, without wasting a single moment, he once again used the incantation of the Shadow Ghost Legion, summoning the dark shadow ghosts that had already entered stealth mode. As usual, the shadows quietly snuck up behind him.

  "Boom!"

  That bloodthirsty ghost soldier also hastily shrunk his body made of pure energy into a ball, and with a flash of movement, he blocked the trajectory of the flame flying sword. The well-made shield forged from excellent materials firmly protected his body, and he forcibly withstood that one sword.

  The superior attack of the flying sword, combined with Baili Yun's full-force strike. The power is not trivial? That shield was instantly blasted into four or five pieces, and the fragments shot outwards continuously. And the Bloodthirsty Ghost Troops in a spherical shape were also knocked back by the intense impact force, constantly flying backwards.
