The Life and Death Platform of the Azure Mist Immortal Sect is located in an open space. The arena surface is paved with mysterious, jet-black stone that faintly shimmers with light.
Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back on the Life and Death Platform. His white robes fluttered gently in the breeze. His upright face was expressionless, and his deep gaze was indifferent as he stared at Mu Xingyun in front of him.
Below the stage, a dense crowd surged, each person whispering amongst themselves, a tense atmosphere hanging over the entire venue like a heavy, dark cloud.
"Is he Senior Sister Ye's fiancé?"
"Senior Sister Ye admitted it herself, how could it be false?"
"I wonder how strong this person is, and whether he can be a match for Senior Brother Mu."
"Hmph! He just has a good-looking face; his skills are definitely not that great."
"You can't say that. Since this person dared to accept the challenge, he must have some skill."
"Oh dear, my goddess, how could she suddenly have a fiancé? Waaah... I'm so heartbroken."
At the same time, dozens of people gathered in the void, each with an extremely powerful aura, the lowest being Immortal Sovereign Realm expert!
These people are none other than the elders of the Azure Mist Immortal Sect!
The leader was a middle-aged man. He was tall and upright, and his dark robe made him appear even more composed and dignified.
Master of the Azure Mist Immortal Sect, Ye Lan!
Ye Lan looked Su Chen over and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
The Third Elder suddenly asked, "Sect Master, when did you arrange this marriage for Ye'er? How come we didn't know?"
The Fifth Elder said, "Yes, we've watched Ye'er grow up. How could we not know about such a big event as her engagement?"
Ye Lan withdrew her gaze and looked at the elders, "I wanted to tell you this before, but I've been busy lately, so I haven't."
The Second Elder frowned and asked, "Sect Master, is this marriage you've arranged reliable?"
Ye Lan nodded and said, "This concerns my daughter's future. Do you think it's a good idea?"
The Second Elder continued, "What is this boy's identity? Is he worthy of Ningshuang?"
Ye Lan's gaze fell on Su Chen again. "He is the young master of the Mystic Hall. It was his mother who approached me to discuss this marriage."
" The Mystic Hall?"
The elders raised their eyebrows, clearly aware of the existence of the Mystic Hall.
The Second Elder pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That is indeed fitting."
The Sixth Elder shook his head and said, "Although this boy has a powerful background, if he lacks strength, I will not agree to let Ye Yatou marry him, no matter how powerful his background is."
The Third Elder nodded and said, "Yes, in this world, how can one protect their loved one without strength?"
The Second Elder said, "Next, we'll see how he fares in his fight with Xingyun. If he wins, I'll agree to the marriage; if not..."
He stopped there.
The other elders nodded unconsciously; clearly, they shared the same thought as the Second Elder.
The Third Elder then said, "They're going up to the Life and Life and Death Platform. Since they're on the Life and Death Platform, they're bound to fight to the death. If this boy wins, Xingyun might..."
At this point, he looked at the old man beside him.
The old man's eyebrows were as white as frost, hanging long down to the sides of his eyes, adding to his otherworldly and ethereal appearance. Every gesture he made could cause the surrounding space to tremble, demonstrating his extraordinary strength.
The old man was none other than the Grand Elder of the Azure Mist Immortal Sect, and also Mu Xingyun's master, Gu Changfeng!
Gu Changfeng said coldly, "If Xingyun was weaker than his opponent and was killed because of that, then he should be blamed for being less skilled. If Xingyun killed this boy, I hope the sect leader will not say anything."
The Second Elder frowned and said, "This child is the son of the Mystic Hall Master. He cannot die, or the consequences will be unimaginable."
Gu Changfeng looked at the Second Elder and calmly said, "That Xingyun is still my disciple."
The second elder frowned, opened his mouth, as if to say something.
"Alright."
Ye Lan interrupted them, his gaze fixed on the two on the Life and Death Platform, "I will not let either of them die."
Upon hearing this, the elders breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side, Mu Xingyun coldly stared at Su Chen, a strong killing intent emanating from him, causing the crowd below to tremble. "Boy, I won't let you die so easily."
Su Chen calmly replied, "Oh."
"Snort!"
Mu Xingyun snorted coldly, said no more, stomped his right foot, and soared into the air, hovering in mid-air. He opened his right hand, and a large seal appeared in his hand.
He glanced at the large seal in his palm, then tossed it straight into the air. The moment it was thrown, the seal grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly expanding to hundreds of feet in size!
The great seal obscured the sky, its surface carved with various mythical beast patterns, radiating an extremely terrifying power.
Mu Xingyun's expression hardened, and he activated the great seal, smashing it fiercely towards Su Chen.
The great seal struck down like a mountain.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Su Chen. They wanted to see how Su Chen would withstand this attack.
Ye Ningshuang clenched her fists tightly, her face showing worry.
At this moment, she somewhat regretted bringing Su Chen to the Azure Mist Immortal Sect.
Facing this terrifying seal, Su Chen remained expressionless, without even the slightest ripple of emotion.
He clenched his right fist, and in an instant, a terrifying power gathered in his fist, which he then unleashed without hesitation!
The fist flashed with power, unleashing a devastating force!
Bang!
A terrifying punch, carrying unstoppable force, slammed into the seal. With a deafening roar, the seal shattered instantly, its fragments scattering like dazzling fireworks.
Su Chen withdrew his right hand and placed it behind his back, his handsome face radiating calm.
Everyone in the room gasped in shock at what they saw, their faces filled with disbelief.
Holy crap!
The great seal was shattered by a single punch!
Awesome!
Someone stared wide-eyed and exclaimed, "How... how did he do that?"
Another person exclaimed, "Holy crap, how terrifying was that punch? It actually shattered the great seal with a single blow! That's outrageous!"
In the air, Ye Lan looked at Su Chen, her eyes flashing with surprise.
Su Chen's punch just now was indeed a bit unexpected for him.
The Fourth Elder said with a solemn expression, "That punch just now was no ordinary one."
The Third Elder nodded and said, "It seems this boy is quite strong."
Gu Changfeng calmly replied, "After all, he is the young master of the Mystic Hall, how could he be weak?"
"Oh?"
The Second Elder exclaimed in surprise, "Judging from the First Elder's expression, he doesn't seem worried at all that Xingyun will lose."
Gu Changfeng sneered and remained silent.
On the Life and Death Platform, Mu Xingyun glanced at the fragments of the great seal scattered on the ground, then looked at Su Chen, his expression grave. "It seems I underestimated your strength."
Su Chen said calmly, "Use whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve. Today I'll show you what despair truly means."
