Chapter 776: Chapter 776: Can this stuff be forcibly conquered?
No one in the audience could believe that Jiang Xiaobai had such a card up his sleeve.
This was too freakish!
However, after a moment of bewilderment, Huo Shuyu, Huo Qitian and others understood the intent behind his move.
They could see Jiang Xiaobai’s true motive!
In a battle to the death, Jiang Xiaobai could obliterate Qin Zicheng without breaking a sweat.
If he killed Qin Zicheng, the Qin family might be pissed, but the Hegemony Sect behind Qin Zicheng would be powerless to retaliate!
When all was said and done, this duel was something Qin Zicheng himself had demanded.
Moreover, this guy had never stepped into the gates of the Hegemony Sect.
Though he was a disciple of the Hegemony Sect, if he died, the sect wouldn’t miss a mere genius.
After all, Jiang Xiaobai had the backing of the Purgatory God Sword Sect and killing Qin Zicheng would only serve to demonstrate his strength.
Ultimately, the matter would escalate into a conflict between two sects.
Of course, the Hegemony Sect wouldn’t make any fuss, because losing means losing.
“Who would have thought that Qin Zicheng’s mind was so misguided?”
A sense of elation surged in Huo Shuyu’s heart.
She desperately wished for Qin Zicheng to sign the agreement swiftly.
Qin Zicheng, on the other hand, was utterly bewildered.
He was simply bluffing, but Jiang Xiaobai took him seriously!?
A death match was a grave matter; despite the young prodigies’ constant bravado, almost none of them would willingly agree to such a duel.
Now, Qin Zicheng felt as though he was on the grill.
If he agreed, there was a risk of his own death. If he declined, where would he put his face? Especially when Jiang Xiaobai was watching him with a taunting gaze, waving the Heaven’s Pact contract in his hand. It was infuriating!
“Why are you blushing? Weren’t you acting like a hotshot just now, eager to fight me to the death?
So now that I’ve agreed, come on, come at me!”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed mockingly.
He was acting so annoyingly smug!
All the bystanders were now chuckling at Qin Zicheng, reveling in his foolishness.
“How dare you! Who do you think you are, to act so arrogantly in front of me?”
Qin Zicheng gave a cold snort, choosing to ignore him and pretend that nothing had transpired.
He felt it was fine as long as he didn’t agree with Jiang Xiaobai.
But Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t interested in engaging with him and blurted out,”One word, are you in?”
“Why the hell are you still harping on this!?”
An exasperated Qin Zicheng roared, “A death match? I don’t have the time for it!
The Huo family, huh? Very good, very good indeed. I’ll be leaving. But you remember this!”
“I, Qin Zicheng, will return.”
With a cold snort, he turned to leave without hesitation.
None of the people who had watched the proceedings took it seriously.
Oblivious to them all, Jiang Xiaobai held his ground.
He charged towards Qin Zicheng, yelling, “Hey, you backstabber, turn around!”
Qin Zicheng was seething.
This bugger was undeniably too much to bear!
He was a man of reputation, after all!
About to turn back and berate him, he heard a sudden alarmed cry by his side.
“Master, be careful!”
Simultaneously, he turned around but found no sign of Jiang Xiaobai.
Next thing he knew, he felt a sharp pain in his hand and something being pressed into his palm.
Instantly, he was flabbergasted!
All present were dumbfounded, both Li Tian and the high-ranking members of the Huo family stood up, disbelieving, looking at Jiang Xiaobai as if he were a ghost.
There, right in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand was the Heaven’s Pact contract now bearing a fresh, blood-red hand print.
Turns out, he had forcibly made Qin Zicheng sign the contract!
This time, everyone was stumped.
Who the hell knew you could play around with the Heaven’s Pact like this?
Have some shame!
Many high-ranking members of the Qin family who had come were furious, ready to lash out at Jiang Xiaobai and crush him on the spot.
Could they not see that Qin Zicheng was no longer interested in playing this game?
When someone was visibly unwilling to participate, what was the point of insisting?
At that moment, Li Tian raised his hand.
A wave of terrifying force descended instantly, suppressing all the high-level members of the Qin family on the spot.
“Qin Zicheng was the one who suggested this death match. Now that Xiaobai has agreed, does he intend to back out?”
Li Tian sneered continuously, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.”
The members of the Qin family were left speechless.
Defiant, Qin Zicheng said, “I never said I wanted to sign a contract!”
“I don’t care. The death match must commence anyway.”
This, in a subtle way, gave Jiang Xiaobai a boost.
With Li Tian around, no one there would dare to act recklessly.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai had also imprinted his hand on the Heaven’s Pact contract.
Thus, the contract was fully formed.
At that point, everyone realized that small loopholes were scattered all over the contract.
Upon closer inspection, they felt their scalp tingle.
They were all parts of the contract!
The first clause stated that by signing the contract, a death match was mandatory. If it wasn’t held, the signees would be sentenced to death.
The subsequent clauses were even more befuddling—all of them applied restrictions on the Qin family.
In essence, the clauses stated that the Qin family wouldn’t be allowed to make a move on Jiang Xiaobai because of this death match.
There were other tiny prints that others couldn’t read, but they were genuinely amazed by the breadth of the stipulations in the contract.
Is this how you play by the rules of a Heaven’s Pact?
At this point, Jiang Xiaobai had already started setting up the arena outdoors. Seeing Qin Zicheng staring blankly, a sinister smile found its way onto his face.
“You better come quickly; otherwise, you’ll be executed by the Heavens’ decree.”
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled.
He couldn’t afford to waste the contract worth over 10k points.
After all, there were tons of stipulations on it.
Which meant, it was priced a bit steeply.
But that was enough to screw over Qin Zicheng with.
Oh man, he was still figuring out how to deal with the Qin family, but this fool went and delivered himself straight to his doorstep
At this point, Qin Zicheng’s face had turned a shade of liver red.
Truly, Jiang Xiaobai’s brazenness had left him incensed.
No one in this world behaved like this!
On top of that, when did anybody ever get forcibly made to sign a Heaven’s Pact?
Well, normally that wasn’t possible.
But this contract was a system exclusive!
Back then, in order to get Qin Zicheng to sign the contract forcefully, Jiang Xiaobai had ended up spending thousands of extra points.
“Come on, stop zoning out there. It’s just a death match. Nothing much would happen.”
“Hurry up, quit dilly-dallying. I still have drinks to catch.”
The words that came out of Jiang Xiaobai made it seem as if he was guaranteed a win!
Even Li Fugui was taken aback by the extent of his audacity!
He had started considering keeping tabs on Jiang Xiaobai as this guy seemed to be unpredictable.
Meanwhile, Qin Zicheng felt like he had been put in a pressure cooker.
He didn’t have a choice but to participate!
The high-ranking bodies of the Qin family were helpless. There was no way around the Heaven’s Pact—it couldn’t be refused.
The Heavens aren’t playing games with you!
Afterward, they began contacting the Qin Family and even the Hegemony Sect, trying to find a way to quell the situation.
But it was certain now—Qin Zicheng was destined to step onto the arena.
He stood on the stage, shooting rage-filled glances at Jiang Xiaobai while his aura swirled violently around him.
His current state was enough to highlight the rage surging within him.
“Jiang Xiaobai, your tactics truly opened my eyes!”
Qin Zicheng let out a cold snort.
