A confident and murderous glint flickered across Chen Ming's face, reminiscent of a cat playing with a mouse. Elder Lengyue had proposed the Life-and-Death Duel as part of his covert scheme. Chen Li, who shared the same bloodline, was supposed to be a pawn, yet he insisted on overshadowing Chen Ming at every turn.
In the past, their fates were intertwined; they thrived together and suffered together. Chen Ming couldn't allow his father to eliminate these two siblings. But now, he had grown up, and the innate bond of blood was no longer significant. With the fortunate acquisition of Tai Xu Zhenzi's legacy and an array of high-level magical artifacts, he was determined to eliminate these annoying pests.
With that thought, he flipped his palm and instantly lunged forward, driving his dagger toward Chen Li's heart. "Die, you worthless fool!"
As he watched Chen Li's figure stiffen, a smirk of triumph crept onto his lips. Just a mouthy waste of space—time to end it! But in the next moment, he realized something was off. The dagger had pierced through Chen Li's body without drawing a single drop of blood, and the mocking smile on Chen Li's face faded away.
What’s happening?! Panic surged through Chen Ming as he felt an immense force strike him before he could react. He barely managed to evade the blow.
What’s going on?! Stunned, he stared incredulously at the unscathed Chen Li. "Y-you're not dead?"
"Fool! My Substitution Talisman worked wonders!" Chen Li's voice finally rang out slowly, laced with mockery and derision.
It turned out that just as the dagger was about to strike Chen Li's heart, he had activated the Substitution Talisman and vanished from sight.
Substitution Talisman?! Chen Ming's pupils constricted in shock as his expression darkened further. He never expected that Chen Li had such a trick up his sleeve.
"Hmph! My life is not something you can take so easily!" Chen Li scoffed coldly. A flash of light appeared in his hand as he pulled out more than ten Talisman papers, each shimmering with faint spiritual energy.
These Talisman papers were crafted without delay as soon as he emerged from seclusion. Though their levels were low—mostly basic fireball talismans and Ice Spike Talismans—they were enough to infuriate Chen Ming.
"Go!" Without hesitation, Chen Li hurled all the Talisman papers at Chen Ming.
In an instant, the arena was ablaze with light—flames soared into the sky while ice spikes danced wildly. Various colors intertwined, enveloping the entire stage in a dazzling display.
The spectators from the Imperial Academy watched in astonishment at Chen Li's actions. They had seen people use Talisman papers in battle before, but never had they witnessed someone throw out over ten at once as if they were worthless.
Is this kid insane? Does he think he's putting on a fireworks show?
"Haha, you really think this will defeat Chen Ming?"
The disciples of the Holy Spirit Palace burst into laughter, their eyes filled with mockery and disdain as they looked at Chen Li. To them, Chen Li's actions were nothing short of self-humiliation.
"Damn it! I must kill you!"
Chen Ming snorted coldly, swinging his sword as a wave of sword energy shot out, shattering the talismans one by one. Yet, Chen Li appeared unfazed, a sly smile creeping onto his face as if he had anticipated this.
With swift movements, he formed seals with his hands and chanted incantations.
"Explode!"
At his command, the fragments of the shattered talismans erupted in mid-air, transforming into bursts of flames and ice shards that surged toward Chen Ming.
"What?!"
Chen Ming's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected the talisman fragments to possess such power. He hurriedly activated his movement technique, dodging left and right in a desperate attempt to evade the onslaught of fire and ice.
"Hahaha, how does it feel? Not so great, huh?"
Chen Li stood at a distance, watching Chen Ming's predicament and couldn't help but burst into laughter. To deal with Chen Ming, he had prepared forty or fifty talismans in advance. Although their power was limited, their sheer number was overwhelming!
Besides, he didn't believe that Chen Ming could keep dodging indefinitely!
The crowd from the Imperial Academy watched Chen Ming's struggle with a hint of embarrassment. After all, they thought his tactics were rather underhanded. However, seeing him in such a dire situation brought them a sense of satisfaction.
Let’s see how arrogant you are now! You deserve this for bullying others!
On the arena, Chen Ming was left covered in dirt and ash from the explosions caused by Chen Li's talismans, seething with anger inside.
Damn those little beasts! You dare to play me?! You think you're the only one with good tricks!
"Chen Ming," he said, slapping his palm, causing the long sword in his hand to dance. The sharp sword energy, mixed with a terrifying force, slashed toward Chen Li.
This is bad! Chen Li's face changed; he never expected Chen Ming to be provoked to such an extent. The power of this strike had far exceeded the scope of the Innate Realm.
In a hurry, Chen Li could only activate the last few talismans in his hand, forming a spiritual shield to block in front of him. Everything happened so quickly that even he was caught off guard.
Boom!
A loud crash echoed as the sword energy struck fiercely against the spiritual shield, producing a deafening roar. The shield trembled violently, covered in cracks, and shattered instantly!
Puff!
Chen Li spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper.
"Brother!" Shen Qingyue's delicate face turned cold, unable to resist the urge to rush forward.
Instructor Lin Xuan timely pulled her back. "Don't go up there; the Life-and-Death Duel doesn't allow anyone to intervene. Otherwise, regardless of status or identity, anyone who intrudes can be killed!"
As he spoke, a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes. The expressions of the other students also grew serious. No one expected the situation to change so rapidly!
Seeing this, Chen Ming's face was filled with smug satisfaction.
"You overestimate yourself! This time, let's see how you survive!" Chen Ming sneered, thrusting his long sword fiercely again, aiming directly at Chen Li's throat without any mercy.
The tip of the sword flickered with sharp light, as if it would pierce through Chen Li's head at any moment!
"Chen Li!" The crowd from the Imperial Academy couldn't help but exclaim in shock, each filled with immense worry and anxiety.
At this critical moment, a transparent protective barrier appeared above Chen Li's head once more, radiating mysterious waves that enveloped him securely.
"Mystic Barrier!" Chen Li's voice rang out confidently, tinged with disdain. "I'm just playing with you; did you really think I would be so easy to deal with?"
