Chapter 1336: Merciless Slaughter (2/2)
Li Qiye smiled and threw Yujiang’s head to Guojian while flatly declaring: “This is my warning! In this generation, no one but me is qualified to be called emperor!
With that, he ignored Guojian and went back inside the boat.
Guojian was trembling from anger. He initially came for an alliance, but it ended in a feud with the Void Imperfection Schools on top of his disciple’s death. In fact, this could have been avoided if it wasn’t for Bao Yujiang’s remark. Alas, there was nothing he could do since the wheels had been set in motion. He had no choice but to fight at that moment.
Everyone was holding their breaths. The scene of Li Qiye challenging Meng Zhentian was too shocking. Zhentian was currently untouchable, yet Li Qiye had no qualms at all with his domineering and arrogant style.
Eventually, Jians.h.i.+ spoke in a serious tone: “Lord Cao, please return.”
Guojian gritted his teeth and said: “Schoolmaster Zhuo, you will regret your choice one day! The destruction of the Void Imperfection Schools will be because of this!”
“Lord Cao, thank you for worrying about our schools.” Ruyan chuckled: “Our choice is our own business. Moreover, you should wait until your master actually becomes an Immortal Emperor before talking about destroying us because with his current status, we can still easily suppress him!”
This was a grand declaration! It showed the true power and hidden aces of the Void Imperfection Schools! Many people suddenly realized something! Perhaps the schools still had existences capable of a.s.sailing Immortal Emperors right now!
It would be too shocking if this was true. a.s.sailing emperors was a very serious topic! If they still had this type of existence, their schools would be completely unfathomable.
Guojian angrily stomped before leaving, not wanting to stay any longer. He would repay this humiliation one day, but his experienced self told him to endure for now.
The crowd was contemplating what had just transpired in silence while checking each other’s expressions.
Someone murmured: “Fierce is domineering and ferocious enough. Cao Guojian won’t be the only one angry, I’m afraid Meng Zhentian won’t swallow this very easily.”
An older character wondered: “Is this the prelude to the contest for the throne?”
An older paragon from the previous generation explained: “If Li Qiye wants to be emperor, he had to take this step. Meng Zhentian’s appearance meant that he would become the greatest rival to all the young geniuses who want to be emperor. It was just a matter of time before someone came out to challenge him. Since Zhentian has experienced the last compet.i.tion, he has an advantage over the other geniuses. Nevertheless, Li Qiye is the first challenger.”
The knowledgeable people knew just how cruel the path towards emperor was. Countless geniuses had been buried, their bones paved the way for the next ruler! Meng Zhentian was an unavoidable mountain for all those who want to become emperor. However, no one expected Li Qiye to be the first challenger, and this soon at that.
Someone couldn’t help but speculate: “What is Li Qiye relying on in order to compete? Will the Peac.o.c.k Tree be his dao protector, or perhaps an invincible ancestor from the Void Imperfection Schools?”
In their minds, Li Qiye was very powerful, but he still wasn’t a match for Meng Zhentian. He was too young; his cultivation wasn’t at that level just yet.
Given the circ.u.mstances, this meant that Li Qiye had people strong enough to protect him. Otherwise, he would be killed before being able to do anything.
The daoist commented with emotion after Li Qiye came back: “Your domineering style is something I won’t ever be able to learn.”
“If you had chosen the path of the heavens, you would have a chance as well.” Li Qiye glanced at the daoist and smiled.
The daoist shook his head in response with a wry smile: “No, I am glad to have picked the path of the grand era. My talents might allow me to compete with others, but after meeting you, I learned that I would have only become dried bones that pave your path towards invincibility. And I’m sure your path will have more than enough bones, so there’s no need to add mine to the pile.”
He spoke with great confidence while revealing the current balance of the compet.i.tion!
