Chapter 798: Bet (2/2)
Li Qiye rejected this accusation: “You worry too much. If I actually use a devilish art to defeat you like you said, then you will definitely not be convinced. I hope that you will be my general, so I naturally will defeat you in a convincing fas.h.i.+on.”
Jian Wushuang took a deep breath and stared at Li Qiye before sneering: “Very well, since you dare to bet, why should I be afraid?! Remember well, if you lose, I will let you be my slave forever!”
“Don’t worry. If I lose, I will listen to everything you say. I will be whatever you want.” Li Qiye smilingly said.
“Let’s go!” Jian Wushuang glared at him and proclaimed: “I will obliterate you right now so that you will never come back to life!”
“I can satiate your fury.” Li Qiye smiled and spread out his arms to expose himself completely: “Come, do your best and annihilate me with all of your attacks! I’m waiting!”
“Hmph! I want to see just how you will revive this time!” Jian Wushuang snorted. She didn’t believe that he was unkillable since she had never heard of someone like that before.
Of course, this whole event was very frustrating to her. Li Qiye leaving her to attack freely was simply humiliating to someone as proud as her, but she couldn’t help it. She wanted to try again to see if she could dispel his devilish art and kill him.
Li Qiye, with his guard down, leisurely said with a grin on his face: “Come, I’m sure it will feel very good.” It was as if this was not a battle but a type of pleasure to him.
“I’ll kill you!” The furious Jian Wushuang also understood that Li Qiye was using her for her attacks.
After the last battle, she knew that he was using the injuries inflicted by her and converting them into death energy. That was the reason why he let her kill him.
Despite knowing this full well, she still had to attack. Without trying to slay Li Qiye once more, she wouldn’t be able to give up. Ultimately, she was a stubborn person!
She slowly took out her longbow, a crescent bow that was pure white and emitted a sacred light. The moment she held it in her hands, it looked more like a sacred artifact than a weapon.
“This is a bit surprising.” Li Qiye looked at her longbow and said: “I thought you would use your forefather’s bow to kill me. After all, that bow is extremely powerful and is famous among the emperors’ weapons…
“In your Jian Clan, outside of your forefather’s true weapon, this bow is the second mightiest. However, you came challenging me without using those bows… I almost can’t believe it. How amazing and impressive! It seems that I have to look at you in a different light now.” These words were a sincere praise and not mere mockery.
That other bow of the Jian Clan was infamous for its destructive power. People once called it a brutal weapon for murder. However, Jian Wushuang didn’t use Immortal Emperor Diyi Jian’s bow. This was quite a strange matter. [1. Diyi Jian = Best Archer Immortal Emperor.]
Jian Wushuang simply scowled in response to Li Qiye’s praise and coldly countered: “I’m just afraid that if I used my clan’s bow, you would die without a doubt! It wouldn’t be skillful to use my forefather’s bow to kill you! Plus, you would remain unconvinced about my abilities as well!”
Her words were imperious and full of confidence. She could have used the other bow at any time to kill Li Qiye. However, she chose not to do so; it would fill her with regrets because killing him in this manner wouldn’t be using her real power! Thus, she must use her own strength to slay Li Qiye.
Li Qiye nodded his head approvingly in the face of her pride: “Not bad at all. Still so much confidence after dying once, truly worthy of admiration. Although you annoyed me before, it seems that I’m liking you more and more now.”
“Bah! Ivory can’t grow from the mouth of a dog.” Jian Wushuang scoffed: “This bow might not be as great as my ancestor’s, but I personally crafted it to deal with you. I will absolutely not let you revive this time!”
[spoiler t.i.tle='798 Teaser']Such words made Jian Wushuang’s face become quite unsightly. She was proud to the point of being supercilious, so Li Qiye’s words were simply dampening her confidence and self-esteem.
“Li Qiye, you are too arrogant!” Jian Wushuang snapped: “One move to defeat me? And bare-handed at that? Who do you think you are? A G.o.d-Monarch, a G.o.dking, an invincible existence across the eons?!”
One had to at least be of the Virtuous Paragon level to defeat her in one move with brute strength alone. She even came prepared this time. If she activated her powerful defense, then even a paragon couldn't defeat her in such a manner. Even more astonis.h.i.+ngly, a G.o.d-Monarch without an imperial true treasure wouldn’t be able to defeat her as well!
When she had her full defenses up, she believed that very few in the world could defeat her bare-handed, let alone someone from the younger generation.
“No, but I have methods that G.o.dkings and even Immortal Emperors cannot compete with.” Li Qiye smirked and leisurely spoke: “To be honest, do not look down on me. Although I am not as strong as G.o.dkings or Immortal Emperors right now, my invincibility is not something you can imagine!”[/spoiler]
