Chapter 86

The Life and Death Platform is not for sparring or competition; it is a battle to the death. Once on the Life and Death Platform, one person will definitely fall.

At this moment, the Life and Death Platform was crowded with people. Many inner disciples arrived early, fearing they would miss such a battle, after all, it had been many years since anyone used the Life and Death Platform.

"Do you think that Lin Xuan has a chance of winning?"

"Don't be ridiculous, he's just a newcomer to the inner disciples, how can he match Zhang Qian?"

"Probably because he made a name for himself in the outer disciples, he's arrogant and doesn't take the inner disciples seriously. It's better if he dies!" This was said by a disciple of the Divine Might Group.

"To be the top in the outer disciples, his talent must be quite good, but it's a pity. Once on the Life and Death Platform, he is destined to die here."

The surrounding disciples were discussing, and some didn't even know Lin Xuan's name. It was no wonder, as Lin Xuan had not participated in the ranking battles on the stone tablet after entering the inner disciples, so it was normal that most people didn't recognize him.

In the crowd, there were not only veteran inner disciples but also young men who entered the inner disciples with Lin Xuan.

Jiang Yulong followed a young man in white, his face cold. On the other side, Duan Fei's eyes were flashing, and beside him were Tang Yi and other members of the Combat Team.

Shangguan Liuyun, Yin Qingyi, and others also stood in the crowd, anxiously waiting for Lin Xuan's arrival.

"Zhang Qian has arrived!" Someone shouted.

Immediately, everyone's gaze turned. In front of them, a young man in purple, carrying a battle saber, with a cold and stern expression, like a thousand-year-old ice. Beside him was a young man in blue, and the two walked briskly towards the Life and Death Platform.

Zhang Qian raised his head, nodded slightly to the young man in white in front of Jiang Yulong, then jumped onto the Life and Death Platform. The young man in blue came to stand beside the young man in white.

"Zhang Qian is here, why isn't Lin Xuan here yet!" Someone in the crowd complained.

"Exactly, I think he's too scared to come!"

"If you're afraid of death, don't fight a life and death battle..."

Many disciples muttered curses, and Zhang Qian also frowned slightly, but since he was already on the Life and Death Platform, he couldn't say anything.

Just as people were getting impatient, Lin Xuan finally appeared.

Calm and composed, without a hint of panic, Lin Xuan flashed to the Life and Death Platform.

This decisiveness made the waiting disciples slightly stunned, it seemed that Lin Xuan wasn't the type to deliberately delay.

Feeling Lin Xuan's aura, Zhang Qian suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying killing intent erupted from his body. His cold eyes were like sharp blades, as if he wanted to slice Lin Xuan into countless pieces.

"What terrifying killing intent, it looks like Lin Xuan is doomed." Many disciples were shocked, that kind of killing intent made their hearts tremble.

At this moment, the Enforcement Elder also arrived, accompanied by Elder Xue and two instructors.

The two instructors were Murong Qianling and Xie Changfeng. The former was Lin Xuan's instructor, and the latter was naturally Zhang Qian's instructor. Elder Xue was Xie Changfeng's master, and it was said that he favored Zhang Qian and had once wanted to take him as a disciple. Now it seemed that this wasn't a lie.

"Teacher Murong!" Ye Qing and Luo Qingshan walked over.

Lin Xuan looked at the figures in the distance, his heart calm. Even if Zhang Qian had the support of a sect elder, he wouldn't hold back.

"Ask you one last time, do you want to proceed with the life and death battle?" the Enforcement Elder asked.

"Only one of us can survive!" Zhang Qian's voice was cold.

Lin Xuan also nodded in agreement, insisting on the life and death battle. This was something he had already decided, and he wouldn't change his mind.

The Enforcement Elder sighed, then announced the start of the life and death battle.

In the next moment, two terrifying auras erupted simultaneously, colliding in the air, causing a violent tremor.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Invisible waves of energy swept everywhere, and the disciples who were close by retreated in fear. The Life and Death Platform was one meter high and ten meters long and wide, sufficient for inner disciples to battle on.

However, at the start, the auras of the two men had already spread to the edges of the Life and Death Platform, which was enough to shock anyone.

"Boy, today I'll make you apologize to my brother!" Zhang Qian's voice was filled with killing intent.

"Zhang Bin was a wicked person, and he deserved to die!" Lin Xuan had no regrets.

"Die!" Zhang Qian roared, drawing his long saber and gripping it in his hand.

A three-meter-long blade aura sliced through the air, like a bolt of lightning, heading towards Lin Xuan, blindingly bright.

"What terrifying power!" A disciple at the eighth stage of the Condensation Pulse realm exclaimed. He couldn't resist such an attack, let alone Lin Xuan, who was at the seventh stage of the Condensation Pulse realm.

Looking at this stunning strike, Lin Xuan's pupils constricted: "This Zhang Qian is even stronger than the black-clothed warrior who attacked me. He truly lives up to being a sect disciple!"

Zhang Qian's strength and depth far exceeded that of an ordinary eighth-stage Condensation Pulse warrior. However, Lin Xuan's cultivation had also advanced rapidly in recent days, and he had no fear. His figure flickered, and he moved forward.

"Phantom Thunder Step!"

Golden arcs exploded, and Lin Xuan's figure disappeared before everyone's eyes. The three-meter-long blade aura slashed through the air, leaving a terrifying crack several meters long on the ground.

Whoosh! Lin Xuan appeared beside Zhang Qian, his palms glowing with a golden light.

"Golden Thunder Palm!"

With one strike, a sea of golden palm shadows enveloped Zhang Qian.

"What!" The others were just amazed by the two's strength, but the young man in blue, Ling Ze, was stunned. He was familiar with this move because it was his guard's signature technique.

"It seems that Ah Hei really died at his hands!" Ling Ze's face was twisted, and he felt a faint sense of fear.

That day, the black-clothed warrior was an eighth-stage warrior, while Lin Xuan was only a sixth-stage warrior, two realms apart. Lin Xuan could still kill him. What would be the outcome of today's life and death battle? Ling Ze didn't dare to imagine.

On the Life and Death Platform, Zhang Qian sneered, his long saber swinging, cutting through all the golden palm shadows, and then even more fierce blade light rushed towards Lin Xuan.

"Mad Saber Dance!"

In an instant, dozens of bright blade auras flew out, slashing at Lin Xuan from various angles.

Lin Xuan's figure flickered, leaving golden afterimages on the ground. None of the blade auras could touch him.

"What incredible speed! Is he still a seventh-stage Condensation Pulse warrior?" Many people stared wide-eyed.

In the crowd, Duan Fei also had an incredulous expression. Lin Xuan's current speed had completely surpassed his own, which was a huge blow to him. After all, speed was his strongest asset, but now he had been surpassed, a feeling that was hard to describe.

Lin Xuan's speed had reached a new level. He moved like a ghost, appearing in front of Zhang Qian, his right palm glowing with golden light, and he struck at Zhang Qian's back.

Boom! Bang!

A loud explosion shook everyone's eardrums.

On the Life and Death Platform, a mad laugh echoed, followed by a figure quickly retreating.

This figure was Lin Xuan. His palm had indeed hit Zhang Qian, but it had no effect, as it failed to break through his protective spiritual energy.

"Ha ha ha ha! With your strength, you can't break through my protective defense, while I can kill you with one strike!" Zhang Qian raised his long saber, his face疯狂.
