150: Another form of life-and-death battle! The Golden Scale Celebration begins!

He’s here!

The Martial Artists in front consciously made way for Ye Chen to pass.

The Martial Artists on both sides stared at the Young Master walking past them, their thoughts racing.

“He still dared to come. This battle is to the death. Can he really walk out of here alive?”

“Jiang Wu Dao has prepared a lot for this battle, backed by the Xingchen Divine Palace. What can Ye Chen use to fight?”

“Every era will have astonishing Prodigies. No matter who wins between the two, they will be among the top Prodigies of the Golden Scale Que.”

Under the gaze of the masses, Ye Chen slowly walked to Jiang Wu Dao, the two standing a hundred feet apart, their Aura like a rainbow, clashing head-on.

At this moment, Jiang Wu Dao took out a yellowish piece of paper and declared loudly, “The life-and-death contract is here. I ask everyone to bear witness.”

“Ye Chen and I had no previous enmity. It is only due to the Xingchen Divine Palace’s rules that whoever contends for the star god pearl, the victor shall obtain it!”

“This contract shall be burned, and life and death shall be self-determined!”

After he finished speaking, a subtle change instantly occurred in the world’s momentum. A nameless fire suddenly burned the life-and-death contract to ashes.

Two light points respectively entered the bodies of the two, and the contract was established.

Seeing this scene, Qin Han’s expression changed slightly. He didn’t expect Ye Chen to dare to play such a big game.

“Back then, Pei Zhi and I signed a life-and-death contract for a battle, and now it’s his turn to do the same,” Qin Han chuckled wryly.

Hearing the laughter, Cheng Weidong turned his head and asked, “Ye Chen is your fellow Disciple, Brother Qin, right? Who do you think will win?”

“Of course, it’s Ye Chen,” Qin Han said without hesitation.

“So confident? Why?” Cheng Weidong was slightly taken aback.

“Heaven’s secrets cannot be revealed. You’ll know by watching,” Qin Han smiled mysteriously.

If Jiang Wu Dao could defeat the Son of Luck, then he might as well commit suicide by fate.

No need for any talk about fated people.

Since Ye Chen dared to challenge, he must have absolute confidence.

At worst, the old man hidden in his ring is not to be trifled with.

“Is it about to begin?” Cheng Weidong’s heart surged with excitement, anticipating the earth-shattering battle between the two.

However, just as the life-and-death contract turned into ashes and fell into the Golden Scale River, Yan Taiyin stepped forward and said, “Is it appropriate for the two of you to fight fiercely at this time?”

“What do you mean, Brother Yan?” Jiang Wu Dao frowned, looking at him and asking, “How can a life-and-death contract be child’s play, to be stopped on a whim?”

“I don’t care about your life and death, but if you disrupt the order of the Golden Scale Celebration and awaken the River God, that old man will be the first to skin both of you. Then no one will live!” Yan Taiyin snorted softly.

“You mean for us to stop fighting?”

“Not so. Since it’s a fight to the death, one must naturally go all out.”

“Yan proposes that we compete on the value of the divine objects acquired during the Golden Scale Celebration, and the one with the higher value wins!”

Ye Chen’s expression was normal, and he said indifferently, “That’s fine too. Each relies on their own abilities, and it can also be considered a form of strength evaluation.”

Yan Taiyin nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this and looked at Jiang Wu Dao: “What do you think, Brother Jiang?”

“If he has no objection, then I have no objection either,” Jiang Wu Dao agreed.

“Alright then, the outcome will be determined by the final harvest!” Yan Taiyin announced loudly.

Upon hearing this, Zhe Yunli gritted her silver teeth in irritation and whispered, “This ugly person is causing trouble again. What does other people’s competition have to do with him? He just has to show his face and be a witness. He’s really something.”

“Although Yan Taiyin is detestable, this action is indeed the most reasonable,” Zhe Changsheng said.

“Oh, Brother, why are you also speaking up for him?” Zhe Yunli pouted her small mouth, very displeased.

“If the River God is disturbed, everyone here will be hard-pressed to escape death. Both of them are rare Prodigies, and their battle will surely be grand, possibly stirring up trouble,” Zhe Changsheng explained.

“Hmph, he’s hogging all the limelight.”

“No matter. Being a witness is nothing to be proud of. The real skill lies in who can catch the Golden Scale in the end,” Zhe Changsheng’s eyes shone with brilliance.

After everyone rested for a while, Jiang Wu Dao took out the Xingchen Divine Palace’s precious star god pearl and placed it in a jade box.

Then, under the gaze of many, he brazenly placed it on the Golden Scale River, letting it drift forward with the current.

“The star god pearl is here. The competition between us will end when it flows into the mouth of the Endless Sea,” Jiang Wu Dao said.

Ye Chen nodded slightly in agreement. His desire for victory now was far less intense than his desire to obtain the star god pearl.

The Seven Star Heaven Dao Art had reached its most crucial moment. He only needed to obtain the star god pearl to break through to the Major Achievement realm.

By then, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds, and becoming a King- Hou would be within reach.

What both of them didn’t know was that there was another pair of eyes watching the star god pearl not far away.

Qin Han was also determined to get it. He didn’t care about any damned Golden Scale. Breaking through to the Extreme Boundary was the important thing for him.

An hour later, the sun was high in the sky. The moment the golden sunlight crossed the mountains and shone on the Golden Scale River, all the creatures in the river instantly became agitated.

They seemed to foresee their impending capture and frantically fled.

“The celebration has begun! Catch the Golden Scale!” Yan Taiyin gave the order, and tens of thousands of Heavenly God Kingdom Martial Artists behind him moved out in unison.

“First, find the Golden Scale, followed by the Heaven-Folding Divine Fish. Those who acquire the former will be rewarded with a Saint Weapon! Those who acquire the latter will be rewarded with an emperor weapon!” Zhe Changsheng announced loudly.

Everyone from the Divine Dynasty was excited upon hearing these words, and they all splashed into the Golden Scale River, beginning their pursuit.

The Disciples of the Chan Palace Mysterious Sect, however, calmly found a spot by the shore and sat down, then pulled out a blue fishing rod.

They seemed to have concocted a unique bait, which they placed on the hook before gently casting the line.

As soon as the celebration began, it was a bustling scene, with everyone along the Golden Scale River vigorously fishing along its flow.

Some had already refined a large fishing net, which they would throw out and retrieve for a good haul.

Others had refined a fishing spear, and upon spotting a noteworthy fish, they would decisively strike.

The scene could be described as the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their Divine Ability.

Martial Artists from various large and small forces swarmed in, the scene incredibly chaotic, yet no actual fighting occurred.

It was mostly verbal disputes.

“Brother Qin, I’m going first,” Cheng Weidong said.

After speaking, he pulled out a tight-fitting suit from somewhere, put it on, and then jumped directly into the water, swimming along the riverbed, mimicking the movements of a fish.

“Interesting…” This was the first time Qin Han had seen a celebration of this kind.

At that moment, a soft voice came from beside him, “Young Master, why aren’t you moving? Does the Golden Scale hold no allure for you at all?”

Qin Han turned his head and found that the person who came was none other than the Xuan Nu of the Toad Palace.

Her exquisitely beautiful face was as if bestowed by heaven; every frown and smile could stir one’s heartstrings.

Just being looked at by her made one feel clear-headed and refreshed, giving a sense of having met a Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens.

“What are divine fish, and what are Golden Scale? In the end, they are but a fleeting dream, unable to help me attain the Dao,” Qin Han slowly said.

“According to Young Master, you don’t believe the legend of the Golden Scale leaping over the Dragon Gate?” The Xuan Nu of the Toad Palace cast a curious gaze upon him.

Her eyes were like a clear pool, unconsciously bringing a sense of calm to people’s hearts.

“I didn’t believe it before, but now I do,” Qin Han answered, looking directly into her eyes.
