Today, Remember the Beauty of This World!

The Nalan Family guard's words immediately dispelled the last trace of doubt in Mu Lu's mind.

"All right, Sister Ya Fei, please be our witness!"

Ya Fei could not help growing curious. Where exactly did this "trash" from the Nalan Family get his confidence?

Ya Fei turned to glance at Pigu beside her.

Pigu looked unremarkable, but Ya Fei knew he was a Dou Ling expert who excelled at concealment. Unless he let his Dou Qi leak out, even a Dou Wang might not detect him.

Ya Fei wanted Pigu to keep an eye on them. Even if they signed a life-and-death pact, she absolutely could not let either of these two little demon kings die or suffer injury right under her nose.

Pigu gave Ya Fei a slight nod.

"All right, I'll be your witness. But let me say this first: stop once the outcome is clear. Don't let this destroy the goodwill between you!"

"Of course, Sister Ya Fei. I'll go easy on that she-donkey!" Nalan Chaoge gritted his teeth and glared. For all his talk of going easy, he looked as though he wanted to swallow his opponent whole without even spitting out the skin.

"Fine, fine. I'll go easy too. But fists and feet have no eyes, so let's begin, you little trash!"

The Mitel Auction House did not provide an arena, so the two youngsters could only take their fight out onto the street.

And with that, word began to spread.

In an instant, a sizable crowd gathered to watch the spectacle.

"Oh, isn't that the Mu Family's young master and the Nalan Family's trash?"

"The Nalan boy isn't trash anymore. I heard Nalan Chaoge can cultivate now!"

"What's this supposed to be? An egg smashing against a rock? Nalan Chaoge is sure to die against Mu Lu!"

"Shh, I heard they've agreed to a life-and-death pact. Neither will be held accountable if the other dies!"

"Why? What kind of grudge do they have?"

"You don't know, do you? Just now, Mu Lu called Nalan Chaoge trash. He even said the Nalan Family's men were trash and their daughter had married trash. Then Nalan Chaoge mocked Young Master Mu Lu by calling him a she-donkey!"

"Oh my, what a mess! What started it?"

"You really don't know? The Mu Family and the Nalan Family both have their eyes on Yaoye, the Jia Ma Imperial Family's eldest princess. They're rivals in love!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... what a pity!"

"Exactly. The Nalan Family is about to lose its last heir!"

No one noticed that, during the walk from the Auction House to the street, the first-tier magic core in Nalan Chaoge's hand had disappeared.

Although he had recycled the magic core through the system and gained enough power, Nalan Chaoge had not advanced. He did not want to do so in full view of everyone.

"Little trash, are you ready to die?"

Mu Lu settled into his stance and regarded Nalan Chaoge with a mocking look.

"Don't rush. You haven't signed the life-and-death pact yet. Insult me if you like, but insult my sister, and don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

By the time Nalan Chaoge finished speaking, the guard beside him had already written up the life-and-death pact.

Without even reading it, Nalan Chaoge wrote his name on it.

Then he flicked his hand and tossed it to Mu Lu.

Though suspicious, Mu Lu had no choice but to steel himself and sign his name under everyone's watchful eyes.

Ya Fei suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

But it was already too late.

Mu Lu clenched his fists.

"Iron Wall Fist, Sweeping the Thousand Armies!"

Mu Lu swiftly closed in on Nalan Chaoge. He clenched his right fist, rapidly gathering Dou Qi until a faint layer of green enveloped it, then swung his arm and drove a vicious punch toward Nalan Chaoge.

Iron Wall Fist was a Yellow-tier Advanced Dou Technique. Only someone with seven-stage Dou Qi could barely unleash even a fraction of its power.

Clearly, Mu Lu was someone the Mu Family had singled out for intensive training!

The wind stirred by the oncoming shadow swept up the hair over Nalan Chaoge's forehead,

Revealing a pair of ink-black eyes beneath it, with a glint of cunning flashing amid their apparent panic. A faint smile touched Nalan Chaoge's lips. He clapped his hands together and began rapidly forming hand seals.

"Ram-Snake-Tiger-"

Boom!

Without the slightest suspense, Mu Lu's fist slammed squarely into Nalan Chaoge's chest.

Yet to everyone's surprise, that punch, concentrated from Mu Lu's seven-stage Dou Qi, actually scattered Nalan Chaoge apart.

Yes, scattered him apart.

With a boom, he simply vanished from where he stood.

Ah, trash was still trash!

He could not even withstand a single punch from Mu Lu.

The Nalan Family had truly lost all face this time.

"Ah!"

Someone had barely voiced their lament when another person suddenly cried out in shock.

Nalan Chaoge, who had just been scattered apart, actually appeared behind Mu Lu. Mu Lu's punch had destroyed Nalan Chaoge's clone, leaving his move fully committed. With nothing to brace against, he could not check his forward momentum. Nalan Chaoge kicked him, sending him stumbling several steps ahead.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

How was this possible?

When Mu Lu's fist struck Nalan Chaoge, Nalan Chaoge had actually...

A clone?

Nalan Chaoge could actually create a clone?

And his real body had slipped silently behind Mu Lu. If Nalan Chaoge had wanted Mu Lu's life, it would already have been over.

Of course, others might not know, but Nalan Chaoge understood his own strength. Creating a clone while circling behind Mu Lu had already pushed him to his limit.

"Gasp!"

Battle Skills that required hand seals to guide Dou Qi existed only among the legendary earth-tier Dou techniques.

Because earth-tier Dou techniques demanded such tremendous energy, hand seals were necessary to guide and control it.

Yet Nalan Chaoge could actually use hand seals, and even create a clone.

Everyone drew in a sharp breath.

Onlookers saw clearly, while those caught in the thick of things were lost in confusion.

Mu Lu had not seen how Nalan Chaoge got behind him, nor did he understand why Nalan Chaoge had not died when his punch had clearly landed.

It filled him with fury.

"Iron Wall Fist, Strike Straight at the Yellow Dragon!"

Mu Lu gritted his teeth and charged again.

"She-donkey, you slandered my Nalan Family and insulted my sister. Today, remember the beauty of this world!"

Nalan Chaoge shouted those words while rapidly forming hand seals once more.

Boom!

At the same moment, Mu Lu's punch blasted Nalan Chaoge apart again.

What kind of Battle Skill was this?

Everyone had forgotten that Nalan Chaoge was supposed to be trash. His Battle Skill had completely captivated them.

"Young master, watch out! He's beneath you!"

Mu Lu's guard suddenly shouted a warning.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Nalan Chaoge's kick struck Mu Lu's chin. Having unleashed the power of the Eight Inner Gates, he sent Mu Lu flying into the sky in an instant.

"Gasp!"

Everyone was stunned once again.

The Nalan Family's trash had actually landed a blow on the Mu Family's genius.

Suddenly, Nalan Chaoge vanished from his spot.

"He's up above!"

Everyone looked up.

Nalan Chaoge had already locked Mu Lu in a tight hold from behind.

In an instant, they plunged from the sky.

"Eight Inner Gates, Front Lotus Technique!"

Boom!

Dust billowed into the air.

This is bad! Pigu cried inwardly, vanishing from his spot at the same time.

But by the time he reached the center of the fighting area, it was already too late.
