Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 202 - 162: Signing the Life and Death Contract, A Sword Instantly Defeats Xu Qing!
Chapter 202: Chapter 162: Signing the Life and Death Contract, A Sword Instantly Defeats Xu Qing!
Heavenly Cold Sect’s mountain gate was a hundred miles away.
Speaking of setting up a platform for the fight, there actually wasn’t any stage; nothing more than a clearing of approximately three kilometers in diameter carved out from the forest.
Heavenly Cold Sect disciples had already gathered early on at this location, abuzz with discussions.
Even two of the Heavenly Cold Sect’s Heavenly Gate Realm Elders and several Deacons were present.
“A duel in the Life and Death Arena between someone at the Reach Profound Realm Perfection and another at the Ruins Realm Mid-Stage, tsk tsk…”
“It seems there’s no suspense at all.”
“Will Young Master Gu from the Gu Family really show up?”
“It’s hard to say. The message from that young master of the Gu Family was quite tough, but the gap in their realms is indeed too big.”
“Once you reach the Ruins Realm, you can begin to try and borrow the Power of Laws from the heavens and the earth. Even borrowing just a sliver can make the power of your Divine Skills vary drastically!”

Many disciples from the Heavenly Cold Sect were talking animatedly.
The Fourth Elder of the Heavenly Cold Sect couldn’t help but ask the Sixth Elder beside him, “If Young Master Gu is truly in mortal danger later, should we intervene?”
“It’s not certain that Young Master Gu will lose. Let’s not be hasty and just watch,” the Sixth Elder’s thoughts were entirely different.
Although he had arrived early, he had just received information that Gu Changge had made a breakthrough into the early stage of the Ruins Realm.
That youngster dared to accept a Life and Death Arena challenge at the Reach Profound Realm; now that he had broken through to the Ruins Realm, it’s hard to say who will win or lose!
In fact, he believed that Young Master Gu might have a greater chance of winning. That kid did not seem to be reckless; he wouldn’t do anything without assurance. Moreover, he valued his life greatly. Back in Duanbei City, he stayed for over two months but only went out of the city twice. Daring to accept a challenge in the Life and Death Arena, he must have something to rely on.
At the very least, he should have arranged for the Ninth Grade expert by his side to save him at the critical moment; that kid didn’t seem like one who would rather die than accept help in the arena!
“Senior Brother Xu, do you need someone to help you relax your shoulders a little?”
Yayun was now standing right next to Xu Qing, making no secret of her desire to ingratiate herself.
“Heh heh…”
“No need. That guy might not even dare to come, right?”
Xu Qing listened to the discussions of the Heavenly Cold Sect disciples, raising his eyebrows in confidence.
These words were spoken loud enough not to suppress his voice, clearly intended for the disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect to hear.
Otherwise, if Gu Changge really didn’t show up, Liu Qingqing would also most likely not appear, and all their efforts would have gone to waste!
“Look quickly!”
“It’s people from the Gu Family!”
“The Saintess and that Young Master Gu have both arrived!”
“Hiss… Young Master Gu has broken through to the Ruins Realm!?”
“Who could have expected that Young Master Gu would break through on the eve of battle? Although there’s still a small realm difference now, the gap is not as vast as before, and it’s really hard to predict the outcome.”
“Young Master Gu might have some life-saving trump card on him; he might have a chance to turn the situation around!”
“I still find it unreliable. Even though Young Master Gu has broken through to the Ruins Realm, he’s just broken through and hasn’t had time to stabilize his realm or adapt to the increase in strength brought by the breakthrough. The difference between him and Saint Xu is still significant!”
“Not to mention, Young Master Gu hasn’t cultivated for eighteen years; in terms of Divine Power Techniques, he is certainly far behind Saint Xu!”
“Let’s not make random guesses anymore; we’ll know after the fight!”
From a distance, seeing Gu Changge exuding the aura of the Ruins Realm, many of the Heavenly Cold Sect disciples who previously thought defeat was certain for him now felt that this Young Master Gu might have a chance, perhaps two or three out of ten.
As for Xu Qing, upon seeing that the other party had broken through to the Ruins Realm, he was slightly surprised as well.
But that was all.
Even if his opponent had reached the Ruins Realm, there was still a huge gap between them, and cutting down Gu wouldn’t take much effort!
Seeing Gu Changge slowly landing in the flattened area, surrounded by people from the Gu Family, many disciples from the Heavenly Cold Sect fell silent.
“He actually broke through just before the fight; it seems that Saint Xu has even less chance now.” Zhu Qin had never doubted that Young Master Gu would lose from beginning to end.
Just based on the events back in Duanbei City, she believed that at least in terms of strategy, Young Master Gu had some means.
He had her completely under his control.
How could he be such a fool to rush into a Life and Death Arena with an opponent just because of a few rumors from Xu Qing, regardless of the difference in strength?
“Young Master…”
The two Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm Deacons from the Gu Family wanted to say something, but Gu Changge gestured to them with a slight lift of his hand to stop them.
“Husband, be careful,” said Liu Qingqing, confident in her husband’s strength, with only a simple expression of concern.
Her gaze had not a trace of worry.
“A lion fighting a rabbit should still use all its might. My wife need not worry; even if this guy is just a Mid-Stage Ruins Realm practitioner, I won’t underestimate him too much.”
Gu Changge replied casually with a light smile.
Everyone who heard him was taken aback, their mouths agape, speechless.
How could it be that when he said it, it seemed as if the one at a disadvantage was Xu Qing, who was at the Mid-Stage Ruins Realm – and not him, who had just broken through to the Early Stage Ruins Realm?
Who was the lion and who was the rabbit? Could Young Master Gu really not tell the difference, or had he been so pampered by his family that he had become delusional?
It was also possible, after all, some second-generation rich kids in their families spar and usually the opponent would severely hold back, leading them to believe they could kill across realms, but in the end, their outcomes were quite miserable.
“Is there a reply from home?”
Compared to the upcoming duel, Gu Changge really wasn’t concerned.
On his way here, through his wife, he also learned about the beast tide triggered in Duanbei City and that Heavenly Cold Sect had even lost a Ninth Grade Great Power.
