Chapter 1648: Long Aotians Strategy (1/2)

Long Aotian and Li Qiye were hovering in the sky. Aotian’s eyes were sharp enough to pierce through all things while Li Qiye stood there leisurely as if he was only facing a random stranger on the street.

The countless spectators held their breath. They knew that a great battle was coming and ruminated about the victor.

“Li Qiye! You are about to become a skeleton on my imperial path!” Aotian stared at him and uttered coldly.

Each word was sonorous and powerful. They represented his undying will to kill Li Qiye.

This prompted Li Qiye to shake his head and smile: “You alone won’t do. Despite having a grand completion physique, your power is still far lacking compared to a real Emperor a.s.sailant.”

“There’s no way.” The experts nearby became skeptics. Everyone knew that grand completion users could become Emperor a.s.sailants. His statement went against the common belief.

“Hmph!” Aotian snorted without agreeing or retorting.

“No need to be unconvinced.” Li Qiye smiled cheerfully: “Triple saint talents and the arts of five emperors, those are incredible achievements. Unfortunately, you have been too hasty and forcefully reaching grand completion before the perfection of your grand dao. This resulted in flaws within your physique, something that can’t be fixed even if you were to become an emperor. With your current strength, you can’t handle one thousand moves against one. Even five hundred moves might be challenging.”

This statement made the crowd ponder and looked at each other. They felt that there was something else to this common belief. They thought that grand completion users could a.s.sail an emperor but maybe this wasn’t the case?

“So what?” Aotian was unperturbed: “The grand dao is endless. I can make up for this flaw after becoming one!”

Aotian was completely confident even after losing the first time. In his eyes, the throne was his for sure due to his incredible strength and peerless achievements.

“Being confident is not a bad thing.” Li Qiye smiled and said: “It shows your ambition and will to surpa.s.s the former sages including the emperors from your sect. You believe that you will become an emperor stronger than them or even become someone comparable to your progenitor, Immortal Emperor Fei…”

“And then?” Aotian uttered coldly. He wasn’t in a rush to attack and kill since Li Qiye was the only rival at this level.

“I’m not looking down on you.” Li Qiye shook his head: “Even if I let you become an emperor, with your current state, you can’t surpa.s.s Immortal Emperor Tun Ri and Immortal Emperor Ba Mie. Your talents might be better than Immortal Emperor Tun Ri but you have been too impatient, unable to calm down. The best you can be is an average emperor.”

The crowd was surprised to see the two mortal enemies talking. They thought a battle would break out upon sight but this was only a discussion about Immortal Emperors. Perhaps only people at their level would understand their train of thoughts.

“Hah, I’m afraid you won’t live to see that day.” Aotian was unaffected and sneered: “After I step on your body, you’ll see what kind of emperor I shall become.”

Li Qiye smiled and said: “Still a firm dao heart. Fine, I’ll take you down again. We’ll see how many defeats are necessary before your dao heart is affected.”

Aotian snorted in response: “Li Qiye, the one shaken will be you!”

“Rumble!” A huge portal appeared in the sky with people rus.h.i.+ng out. This was another legion of ten thousand men, enough to instill fear into the crowd.

It was a forest of armors and spears. The soldiers stood upright with a murderous aura and battle intent, even the ocean would lament before their might. This was a legion of steel, capable of crus.h.i.+ng everything.
