Chapter 1102: Challenge (2/2)

“Good, well said.” Li Qiye clapped his hands approvingly and smiled: “I have many enemies, but those who can truly say these words with ease are few in number.”

Lin took a deep breath and spoke: “Brother Li, our fight this time has nothing to do with feuds or grievances, victory and defeat doesn't matter either! We know that you are unbeatable, but we want to see your true invincibility this time!”

“I understand.” Li Qiye smiled: “You two felt puzzled about your defeat in the previous encounters as you lost too quickly and couldn’t even get a feel for my power.”

Lin nodded in all seriousness: “We couldn’t see through your strength. No matter what, we want to fight, no matter the result. If we don’t fight you, then even if we have higher accomplishments in the future, it would all be for naught.”

“Okay.” Li Qiye smiled: “Your heart is aiming for the dao, so I shall help you. I won’t borrow external powers or dao and will only use my own power to fight and grant both of you a convincing defeat.”

“Thank you for treating us with respect.” The two of them bowed.

After hearing the conversation, the onlookers held their breaths. This would be a real fight between cultivators, a pure duel.

Li Qiye leisurely said: “Since you two are ready, pick the time and place.”

Lin formally stated: “Tomorrow at this time, at the Skyraising Mountain in the Imperial Border. We will be waiting for your arrival.”

“Alright, I’ll be there.” Li Qiye gently nodded his head and accepted this challenge.

Lin didn’t say anything else. He and Zhan s.h.i.+ bowed to say goodbye then turned away and disappeared into the horizon.

“A battle between gentlemen.” Someone from the previous generation was moved by this: “I haven’t seen this in a long time.”

“Top geniuses always have some aspects that other people can’t match.” A paragon commented: “Lin is free and unrestrained, Zhan s.h.i.+ is determined, and Fiercest is straightforward and upright despite his ferocity. They aren’t people that we can compare to.”

The crowd was excited to see this pure fight between cultivators. For the inhabitants of this world, it was easy to find friends who were gentlemen, but much more difficult to have enemies willing to fight with honor.

The three had an unreachable style. This was not only the style of geniuses, but also the style of experienced masters.

“Even an Immortal Emperor at a young age can’t be much better than this.” A G.o.d-Monarch spoke with emotions: “What a shame that all three of them were born in the same generation and have to be enemies. Otherwise, they could have become good friends.”

“Even if they won’t become friends, I’m sure they can sympathize and appreciate each other.” Another G.o.d-Monarch felt a bit envious: “To be able to meet an enemy like this is also a kind of blessing in life.”

Normally before a battle between geniuses, people would often discuss the outcome. They relished in a.n.a.lyzing who would win.

However, no one bothered to do so today. They only talked about the manner of this duel. Some even felt quite envious of Lin and Zhan s.h.i.+ being able to fight against Fiercest.

“Hmph, a gentlemen’s duel?” Jikong Wudi snorted after hearing this: “So what! Someone will die anyway!”

With that, his eyes turned cold and exposed a frightening murderous intent.

The Skyraising Mountain was the highest peak in the Imperial Border. It directly pierced into the sky as if the stars were all revolving around it.

Even though the day of the battle had yet to arrive, many cultivators came quite early. For miles around the mountain, cultivators and experts were waiting. Some were hovering in the sky while others stood on the mountains. The majority tried to pick good vantage points to watch this rare battle.

For this particular battle, the atmosphere was very calm. Despite the great amount of spectators, the scene was very quiet. No one wanted to break this calm atmosphere.

Heavenly Emperor Lin and Zhan s.h.i.+ came early as well. Moreover, each of them carried a wooden coffin along with them. After reaching the top, they placed the coffins beside them.

The spectators were shaken at the sight of the coffins.

“Lin and Zhan s.h.i.+ are prepared to die in this battle.” Someone couldn’t help but murmur after seeing this scene.
