“Lyric!” Ramon Watts, standing behind Wade, finally relaxed when he saw that Lyric Watts was unharmed.
“Father!” Lyric Watts’ beautiful eyes lit up as she called out to Ramon Watts, then immediately threw herself into his arms.
“Elder Jaidyn, are you alright?” Wade asked with concern.
Elder Jaidyn shook his head and said, “I’m fine. Yesterday, when I took Lyric to the Spirit Fruit Garden, Izaiah Golden, the Elder of the Golden Family, ambushed us and knocked me unconscious. They brought me and Lyric back to the Golden Manor. When I woke up, my spiritual power had been sealed, but we were not harmed.”
“That’s despicable! If any harm had come to you, the Watts family would have destroyed the Golden Family!” Ramon Watts shouted angrily.
“Amber, Second Brother, Leo.” After leaving Ramon Watts’ embrace, Lyric Watts grabbed Amber’s hand and called out their names one by one.
“Lyric, did the people from the Golden Family do anything to you?” Amber bent down and asked with concern.
“I’m fine, Amber, don’t worry.” Lyric Watts smiled and then her face showed a look of anger. “The people from the Golden Family are all bad guys. They locked me and Grandpa Jaidyn in a room for a whole day and night.”
“As long as you’re okay.” Amber’s gaze softened as she gently touched Lyric Watts’ head.
Lyric Watts turned her beautiful eyes to Leo and asked, “Leo, are you going to duel that bad guy Anton for me and Grandpa Jaidyn?”
“Yes, I will avenge you for what the Golden Family did. Leo will help you!” Leo said with a smile.
“Yeah, Leo is the best! Leo is the strongest!” Lyric Watts nodded firmly.
At that moment, under countless gazes, Anton’s figure flashed and he gracefully landed on one side of the Life and Death Platform.
“Mr. Golden is stepping onto the stage!”
“Mr. Golden looks so handsome. He’s bound to win!”
“It’s finally starting. I wonder how strong this Zratol’s top young talent really is…”
The Cultivators watching below the Life and Death Platform became excited. If Anton won, they would earn a lot of Spirit Stones.
As for Anton’s strength, it wasn’t the main concern for most people.
“Come up and meet your death!” Anton stood proudly on the Life and Death Platform, his cold gaze fixed on Leo as he shouted.
Following Anton’s gaze, everyone looked towards Leo on the platform.
“The young man standing with the Watts family on the spectator stands is the one who will duel Mr. Golden, right?”
“He looks unfamiliar. I wonder where he comes from.”
“He’s the first young person in Zratol to challenge Anton!”
Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Leo also looked at Anton standing on the Life and Death Platform.
Then, Leo’s figure flashed and he appeared on the other side of the Life and Death Platform.
Now, everyone’s gaze was focused on the two figures on the Life and Death Platform.
The two locked eyes, their gazes filled with coldness.
“It is an honor for you to duel me on this Life and Death Platform. In return for your death and as a small contribution to my upcoming marriage, I will make sure you don’t die too painfully,” Anton said arrogantly.
Leo raised an eyebrow and mocked, “Mr. Golden, I hope your strength matches your big mouth.”
Anton narrowed his eyes slightly at Leo’s mockery. “I’m really starting to look forward to killing you.”
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Anton’s spiritual power erupted instantly. Purple-red flames surrounded his body.
At the same time, the temperature on the entire Life and Death Platform rose significantly.
Anton’s strength as a Spirit King was unleashed.
“This is the powerful aura of a Spirit King. Mr. Golden truly deserves to be the strongest among Zratol’s young generation!”
“I heard that Mr. Golden has tamed a Demon King-level beast and absorbed its flame. It seems to be true.”
“Haha, I bet five thousand Spirit Stones on Mr. Golden.”
Excited discussions broke out among the Cultivators outside the Life and Death Platform.
Most of the spectators had bet on Anton winning, so they couldn’t contain their excitement when they felt his immense power.
“If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, there might still be time,” Anton said coldly, staring at Leo with a condescending attitude.
“Mr. Golden, you talk too much,” Leo said impatiently.
“You ignorant fool!” Anton stomped on the ground. His body covered in purple-red flames shot towards Leo like a cannonball.
Even before getting close, Anton raised his right hand and the purple-red flames in mid-air transformed into a huge purple flame lion claw.
The lion claw was solid and powerful, exuding a fierce aura as it descended upon Leo.
Witnessing such a fierce attack, the spectators couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Among the Watts family members, except for Arthur, no one had seen Leo in action before.
So when they saw Anton launch such a ferocious attack from the beginning, everyone in the Watts family couldn’t help but worry.
Especially Amber and Lyric Watts, their faces changed slightly.
“Leo…” Lyric Watts couldn’t help but clasp her hands together nervously.
“It seems like this duel won’t be very interesting. Mr. Golden’s claw attack will surely determine the outcome,” one Cultivator commented.
Just as the enormous Purple Fire Lion Claw was about to engulf Leo’s figure, a dazzling starlight burst forth from Leo’s body.
Leo’s mouth curved into a smile as he threw a punch at the incoming Purple Fire Lion Claw.
Boom!
A huge fist formed from condensed starlight collided with the Purple Fire Lion Claw.
After a loud explosion, the substantial Purple Fire Lion Claw disintegrated into a purple rain of fire.
“He actually blocked it!”
“He shattered Mr. Golden’s attack with just one punch!”
“This… is so amazing!”
The Cultivators watching were shocked.
On the other hand, Anton showed no surprise on his face but coldly said, “If you can’t even break through my lion claw attack, you’re not qualified to stand against me.”
After speaking, Anton turned into a blur and charged towards Leo.
Leo’s eyes flashed with coldness as he also rushed towards Anton.
In an instant, they clashed and a series of heavy collisions followed.
Instead of flashy attacks, they relied on their powerful bodies to engage in close combat.
Their hands, elbows, knees, feet-all parts of their bodies became deadly weapons as they aimed for each other’s weak points with ruthless strikes.
