Open up and break into another world

After taking these three strikes, there are still forty more to go!

“I…” Can Tian almost spat out another mouthful of blood.

This is too bullying!

It's really too bullying!

“Xu Ming, stop! I admit defeat!!” Can Tian hurriedly shouted.

Stop?

Admit defeat?

Xu Ming sneered as the long spear smashed out again: “Can Tian! This is a life-and-death battle!!”

To say “stop” or “admit defeat” during a life-and-death battle? —Isn't that a joke?

Rumble…

The might of heaven and earth collapsing was completely concentrated on this one strike.

“Third strike!!”

Bang!!

Can Tian was directly blasted backward until he crashed into the isolation barrier of the life-and-death arena before stopping.

“Pfft!” Another mouthful of black blood spurted out as Can Tian shouted in horror, “Xu Ming, stop, stop now! I admit defeat! I admit defeat!!”

“Naive!” Xu Ming scoffed as he raised his spear again, “Life-and-death battle, endless until death—how can there be any talk of admitting defeat?”

“Xu Ming!” Can Tian shouted, his voice stern but inwardly weak, “Could it be that you really want to become a mortal enemy of our Yehenala clan?”

Xu Ming smiled and said, “Aren't we already mortal enemies?”

“We're not mortal enemies yet!” Can Tian quickly said, “Although you've killed members of my Yehenala clan and bear the mark of slaughter from my clan, the ones you killed were probably not very important members—so, although you are an enemy of my Yehenala clan, you're not a mortal enemy; the conflict between us can be completely reconciled! But… my importance to the Yehenala clan is self-evident; if you dare to kill me, then you will be a mortal enemy of my Yehenala clan!”

“Is that so…” Xu Ming pretended to hesitate.

“Xu Ming, consider this round my loss! Let our life-and-death battle end here!” Can Tian added.

“Heh heh!” Xu Ming laughed, “Can Tian, let me ask you—if I were the one at a disadvantage right now, not you, would you possibly let me go?”

“I…” Can Tian wanted to lie, but he knew himself that saying “I would let you go” was too fake; no one would believe it!

“Hahahaha…” Xu Ming laughed loudly, “Since you yourself know that if you were in the advantageous position, you would never let me go! Then now, I am the one in the advantageous position; do you think I would possibly let you go?”

Rumble rumble rumble…

Xu Ming's spear, once again carrying the might of heaven and earth collapsing, smashed over furiously.

“Xu Ming!!!!” Can Tian roared, “Do you really want to completely embark on a path of endless conflict with our Yehenala clan?”

Xu Ming only sneered disdainfully: “Why so much nonsense? There are still forty strikes left; focus on receiving them!”

“I…” Can Tian knew that Xu Ming would not stop!

“Forty strikes…” Can Tian really wanted to act shamelessly and immediately launch a counterattack! He believed that, in terms of strength, he was definitely stronger than Xu Ming and could definitely turn defeat into victory—but, if he really did that, it would definitely affect the reputation of the Yehenala clan for countless eons.

After hesitating, Can Tian still decided—the reputation of the Yehenala clan must not be damaged under any circumstances! After all, the Yehenala clan is the noblest clan of the Demon race; once its reputation is damaged, the entire clan would lose face!

“Humph! Xu Ming, I've remembered this debt! Our Yehenala clan has remembered it!” Can Tian roared, directly taking out a pure gold token.

“What is that?” Xu Ming was slightly stunned, but he didn't pay attention to it; instead, he continued to smash angrily towards Can Tian.

But just then…

“Both sides stop!!” The majestic voice presiding over the Blood Sea Arena sounded; an incomparably vast pressure simultaneously oppressed and bound Xu Ming and Can Tian.

“What's going on?” Xu Ming wondered, “Why is the life-and-death battle being interrupted?”

“Humph!” A look of triumph appeared on Can Tian's face.

The vast pressure forcibly separated Xu Ming and Can Tian; the presiding majestic voice continued to say: “With the Death Exemption Order issued, the life-and-death battle between the two sides is hereby terminated!”

Death Exemption Order?

Life-and-death battle terminated?

Xu Ming thoughtfully turned his gaze to the golden token in Can Tian's hand: “Is that the so-called Death Exemption Order?”

Just as Xu Ming was wondering, the voice transmission of his 'good friend' Old Ghost Du resounded in his mind again: “Little friend Xu Ming, the Death Exemption Order is a rule specially formulated by the top experts of Holy Emperor City to protect their descendants!”

“Rule?”

“Yes!” Old Ghost Du continued, “Within the scope of Holy Emperor City, as long as you hold a Death Exemption Order, then, once you encounter danger in a life-and-death battle, you will have the special privilege of 'exemption from death'! A Death Exemption Order can only be used once!”

“Oh…” Xu Ming suddenly understood—no wonder this Can Tian took out a broken token; this life-and-death battle was immediately terminated by the presiding expert! So, this broken token has such a background!

“Xu Ming!!!” Can Tian's face was ugly, “Today's humiliation, next time, I will definitely repay it a hundredfold!”

Xu Ming smiled instead of getting angry: “Relying on the Death Exemption Order to escape a disaster, is there any need to be so arrogant? Also, Can Tian, next time, how many moves are you planning to let me have?”

Next time, how many moves are you planning to let me have?

As soon as Xu Ming said this, many gods who were watching the show couldn't help but laugh:

“Haha, this Can Tian is really a joke! Before the battle, he said he would let Xu Ming have a hundred moves; in the end, after taking more than fifty slaps from Xu Ming and three spear strikes, he was so scared that he used the Death Exemption Order!”

“Haha! Indeed laughable!”

“What do you all know? Can Tian is doing this to preserve the reputation of the Yehenala clan! Hahahaha…”

…

Can Tian walked off the arena with an ugly face amidst a pile of ridicule.

At this time, many of the gods watching the battle finally realized—Xu Ming's defeat of Can Tian meant that he could rank third on the Peerless Grace Rankings, second only to Li Xiujie, who ranked first, and Long Peng, who ranked second!

A genius with no reputation actually directly broke into third place on the Peerless Grace Rankings?

Unbelievable!

Inconceivable!

“This Xu Ming will definitely become famous throughout the God Realm!”

“Is there even a need to say that?—Moreover, Xu Ming's ability to fight beyond his level is so strong, which shows how terrifying his potential is! In the future, he will likely be a top existence among the Sovereigns, or even a Half-Saint, Sub-Saint, or Quasi-Saint level figure!”

“Are we witnessing the growth of a super powerhouse?”

“Super powerhouse? Humph! The premise is that Xu Ming doesn't die prematurely! However, with his flamboyant personality, it's difficult not to die prematurely!”

Many experts and powerhouses in the God Realm had mixed opinions about Xu Ming. But overall, most of them admired Xu Ming—after all, just the fact that he defeated Can Tian, who was at the Half-Sovereign realm, with the cultivation of a peak King, was enough to make people admire him!

Just as Xu Ming was about to walk off the arena, suddenly, a calm but slightly sinister voice resounded throughout the arena.

“Xu Ming, do you dare to fight me?” The one who spoke was the white-armored youth—Li Xiujie!
