The final minute.
As the clock struck twelve, Li Yiming's voice rose from the life-and-death battle stage, "Participants of the life-and-death battle, step onto the stage."
Everyone fell silent, as they watched Li Xiaoyao slowly descend from the platform, taking each step deliberately as he ascended to the martial stage.
Looking at him with disdain, Xie Nan and Li Pengcheng seemed to think that Li Xiaoyao's decision to fight was no different from committing suicide.
Li Gu, who had been sitting with his eyes closed on the stage, also opened his eyes at this moment. A flash of lightning seemed to pass through his gaze, making him appear like a long spear with its edge fully exposed, piercing towards the sky.
"Once the life-and-death battle begins, life and death will be left to fate. The battle only ends when one side dies," Li Yiming said as he sat down, indicating that the life-and-death battle had officially started.
