them nodded emphatically, Lei Zizhen was simply shameless, almost insane in his desire to kill Sikong Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t care, what do I need a face for now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just want this little apprentice dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only if he accepts the challenge will Baili Que survive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Lei Zizhen stared intently at Sikong Jing, his tone laced with extreme madness, “Baili Que has helped you before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without her, you would have died by my hand already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t you feel indebted to repay the favor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will count to three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t accept the challenge, I will die right here for you all to see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he burst into maniacal laughter…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Lei Hongteng placed his hand on top of Lei Zizhen’s skull, looking coldly over the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Jing returned his gaze and exhaled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I accept the challenge!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, Qin Heng, Wen Hu, and the others changed their expressions in shock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from them, Lei Zizhen let out more crazed laughter, “Good, good, good, you’re finally acting like a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve got guts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, Qin Heng made his move towards Sikong Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Sikong, there are other ways to save Baili Que.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With your realm, you can’t beat Lei Zizhen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Life and Death Platform of the Holy Dragon Palace only distinguishes between life and death, not victory or defeat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing the certain peril, Qin Heng, of course, couldn’t allow Sikong Jing to throw his life away in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Jing shook his head with a faint, cold laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Baili Que was injured by the Heavenly Dao Palace because of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t let her be in danger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili Que had found herself in peril seeking the Thousand Cold Red Lotus Core, and Sikong Jing felt somewhat responsible for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, if Baili Que returned alive, Sikong Jing would be able to find out who from the Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace had the Thousand Cold Red Lotus Core…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, Sikong Jing was confident he could kill Lei Zizhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Sikong Jing’s gaze cut back to Lei Zizhen…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, we can use the Life and Death Platform, but I have one more condition to add.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t trust your second signal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before we duel it out, I need to know where Baili Que is right now, on her way to which location.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t be sure what Lei Zizhen’s second signal would be—it could very well be something that would harm or even directly kill Baili Que.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Sikong Jing couldn’t take the risk and needed to turn the tables by being proactive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing Baili Que’s location would allow him to mount a rescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zizhen’s eyebrows rose slightly, and after hesitating, he responded, “Fine, bring paper and pen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Sikong Jing was determined to fight, Qin Heng could only produce paper and pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, Lei Zizhen began to write rapidly, penning a letter to Lang Yizhan instructing him to immediately relay Baili Que’s current location on her journey back to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Qin Heng had checked that there was nothing amiss with the letter, Lei Zizhen swept his gaze back to Sikong Jing and those around him: “As soon as we step on the Life and Death Platform, I will send this letter out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Jing remained undeterred, “Fine, once we receive Baili Que’s location, we will engage in a decisive life-or-death battle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the deal sealed, the Life and Death Platform was activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Life and Death Platform of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace was nothing like the Combat Hall of Holy Dragon Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a venue designed for determining life or death outcomes, where upon stepping onto it, a Formation would protect both parties, forbidding any outside interference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after one person died would the Formation of the Life and Death Platform dissipate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless it was forcibly broken, no one could intervene in the duel on the Life and Death Platform, a practice from time immemorial at the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, intended to resolve irreconcilable disputes within the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Jing wasted no words and began walking towards the Life and Death Platform…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Qin Heng grabbed him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Sikong, perhaps it’s better to reconsider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can find another way to negotiate with the Heavenly Dao Palace and Wanbao Pavilion for Baili Que…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounding Qin Heng were Wen Hu and others who also didn’t want Sikong Jing to enter the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chance of victory was just too slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, I am confident.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Jing firmly shook his head and scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, what’s the point of negotiating?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’d definitely have to make a sacrifice…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should we pay a price after Baili Que has already been hurt?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Being hit, one must hit back hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Sikong Jing strode onto the Life and Death Platform, arrogantly pointing at Lei Hongteng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Qin Heng and the others were staring blankly at Sikong Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he said made sense, but was he really confident?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this side, Lei Zizhen sneered and was led onto the Life and Death Platform by Lei Hongteng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they stepped on it, Lei Zizhen didn’t pull any tricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he sent the message with a little black bird, and then the three of them quietly waited on the platform…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until half a day later, when the little black bird returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zizhen opened the reply from Lang Yizhan and after a glance, tossed it to Sikong Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, Sikong Jing read out loud, “Baili Que is currently on the Long Question Mark Divine Spaceship heading from Long Night Wenti City to the Imperial City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words were spoken, Wu Ding from Dark Dragon Mountain and Qin Heng had a flash of sharpness in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, they immediately dispatched experts to go and rescue the ones on the Long Question Mark Divine Spaceship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Life and Death Platform, Lei Zizhen said lazily, “I’ve given you your conditions, can we start now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s begin then,” said Sikong Jing slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Heng gritted his teeth and, in the end, still activated the platform’s Formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Hongteng laughed heartily and stepped back the moment the Formation activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he looked at Qin Heng and said, “Remember our condition—if this little apprentice wins, you can do as you please with us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if he loses, you must let us leave when Baili Que returns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said this, Lei Hongteng’s mouth twisted into a sinister smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was fully confident in Lei Zizhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a mere apprentice in the Innate Realm possibly be compared to his son?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Lei Hongteng added, “Qin Heng, you can also go back on your word, but…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, an irate Qin Heng interrupted firmly, “I’m not like you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wouldn’t do something so shameless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were so many people watching; after all, Qin Heng still had his reputation to consider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, I trust Vice Palace Master Qin’s credibility, so let’s just wait and see,” Lei Hongteng said, watching the Life and Death Platform with an easygoing face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Formation had been fully activated, and no one could interfere with the duel on the Life and Death Platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Lei Zizhen’s True Qi burst forth, and the aura of the Xuantian Fourth Realm spread out…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at Wanbao Pavilion, he was only at the Xuantian Third Realm, and now he had advanced yet another realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Heng and the others’ pupils constricted sharply, regretting letting Sikong Jing take the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no chance of winning…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the moment Sikong Jing released his True Qi, those who were unaware of Sikong Jing’s Martial Arts Realm were utterly baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is he only at the Peak of the Martial Sect Realm?” the Institute Master from Cloud Dragon Mountain muttered dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who didn’t understand Sikong Jing were also bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was too weak; there was no point in fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this little apprentice deeply attached to Baili Que, or was he overly confident?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s gaze subconsciously shifted back to Lei Hongteng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that after all this fuss, he would still be able to leave alive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this side, Lei Hongteng stroked his beard and laughed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At the Peak of the Martial Sect Realm, Qin Heng, you can only watch as your life saver dies in front of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Lei Hongteng’s words fell, Sikong Jing on the Life and Death Platform suddenly exploded with True Qi again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura of the Peak of the Martial Sect Realm changed, and in an instant, it turned into the Xuantian First Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Jing had made a breakthrough, reaching the Xuantian Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>",1480,"2026-06-06T08:51:42.145Z",1,"novelbin.me","76f73d95b3d8c10a97bdda620d190ff6d93c62ea44e97c7baadae5b09e7a57ec","berserk-god-of-war-chapter-410","berserk-god-of-war-chapter-408",1881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fberserk-god-of-war-cover.jpg"]
