Chapter 1672: Fighting Long Aotian (1/2)

Li Qiye chuckled and shook his head: “Either way is the same. Even if I kill him right now, not much will come of it. The Black Dragon King still can’t make up his mind. Forget it, let him deal with his brother-in-law.”

If Li Qiye wanted to kill, Gu Zun wouldn’t be alive right now. The matriarch gently nodded and dropped the subject. She noticed that Li Qiye was staring at Soaring Immortal and said: “Your Excellency, do you want to personally take action or let me mobilize the troops?”

“I’ll go.” Li Qiye answered: “One has to go all out if they want to catch the big fish. Let me be the bait. Maybe we’ll catch the largest of them all, I’ve been waiting for a while now.”

“You’re not trying to bait the mastermind of Soaring Immortal.” The matriarch carefully pondered. At this moment, she realized that His Excellency wasn’t aiming for Soaring Immortal at all or the mastermind in the shadow. He was scheming for some existences hiding even deeper.

She wondered if he was the bait or Soaring Immortal. Of course, all of this didn’t matter any longer. Soaring Immortal’s destruction was inevitable at this point.

When Li Qiye made it to the entrance, a figure descended from the sky to stop his path.

“Li Qiye, it’s time for us to fight to the death!” The person stared at Li Qiye with a ferocious glare.

This was Long Aotian, Soaring Immortal’s successor. He was currently in an amazing state with exuberant vitality and in his peak. There was no trace of depression after losing twice to Li Qiye. This was indeed an admirable quality.

Li Qiye wasn’t surprised at all to see Long Aotian. He smiled and said: “That’s fine, but I wonder if you are prepared for death.”

“No one knows who will be the last man standing until the end, you won’t be smiling for long!” Aotian retorted.

Despite losing twice already, Aotian still needed to fight because the Heaven’s Will had appeared. A fierce compet.i.tion was approaching soon enough but he had no advantages to speak of. It looked quite unfavorable since he lost twice to Li Qiye already. Thus, he must defeat Li Qiye this time regardless of the price.

“The result is already determined. You won’t be getting the Heaven’s Will.” Li Qiye chuckled.

The fight between the two attracted the attention of many people. People still didn’t count Aotian out after his two defeats and felt that he still had a chance to turn it around. They felt that losing before becoming an emperor wasn’t shameful at all. This has happened to many emperors in the past already! Some suffered some humiliating defeats too.

“Try and see!” Aotian uttered. He was still as confident as before and ready to defeat all foes. The successor of Soaring Immortal wouldn’t be affected and give up completely after just losing one or twice!

“Fine, as you wish. Use all of your abilities and techniques. There won’t be another chance after this.” Li Qiye looked at him and said slowly: “You can be considered a brilliant genius with a rare dao heart.”

The spectators held their breath as the fight was about to begin. They knew that one of them might fall before the start of the real compet.i.tion.

Aotian took a deep breath. With a loud blast, he released his blood energy like the flood. It spread across the world as if wanting to start a disaster.

“Whoos.h.!.+” His inner physique lit up and caused s.p.a.ce to tremble. His body became s.h.i.+ny and dazzling as if it was a crystal carving. This beautiful scene was his grand completion Soaring Immortal Physique, one of his proudest achievements.

It became brighter and more dazzling by the minute until people couldn’t stare straight at him anymore, not even with heavenly gazes. He gave a strange feeling of flight, as if s.p.a.ce itself was growing a pair of wings and ascending.

“Buzz.” A very rhythmic series of noise resounded. It was slow and came from s.p.a.ce itself. s.p.a.ce and time were being slowed down by Aotian’s physique.

In the blink of an eye, everyone became a painting since time had stopped in this split second.

“Whoos.h.!.+” Time began to flow again. It wasn’t because of Aotian this time. Li Qiye was the cause.

Before anyone realized what was going on, Aotian was inches away from Li Qiye when time flowed again.

At this moment, time once again paused. Everyone could watch this scene and saw Aotian’s palm containing a sharp and cold gale that was only three inches away from Li Qiye’s forehead.

Aotian exerted his physique to its limit. No, he even broke through it in order to deliver the fatal blow.

Remember that this was a grand completion Soaring Immortal Physique, allowing him to break through the limit of time. This was almost impossible to describe with words. Even a Nine Worlds G.o.dking wouldn’t be able to dodge this fatal blow.
