Chapter 224

Although everyone was already prepared for it, hearing Long Chen’s voice still greatly shocked everyone . He had actually issued a life and death challenge to a peak mid Tendon Transformation expert .

This was no ordinary challenge . Unless one party backed out, one of them had to die today .

An icy smile appeared on Wu Qi’s face . Long Chen was powerful, but in his eyes, Long Chen had never been an actual match for him .

If it weren’t for the monastery restricting him, he would have long since killed Long Chen . The fact that Long Chen would just send himself to be killed by him like this was a nice surprise .

“You have to think this through Long Chen . Once the life and death challenge is issued, one party will die . This isn’t a game . If you feel you have received injustice or unfair treatment, you can make a complaint to me,” solemnly warned Ling Yun-zi .

A life and death challenge was something that was only to be issued when the differences had reached an irreconcilable level . Unless the hatred between the two parties had reached an extremely high level, no one would issue such a challenge .

Ling Yun-zi was worried . Although he was sure Long Chen was a Divergent, a legendary existence that would only die beneath the Heavenly Daos, those were just legends . A Divergent had not appeared in who knew how many tens of thousands of years . And even if one had appeared, no one would know about them .

Only when those people were destroyed under a world-eradicating divine punishment would people realize that they had been a Divergent .

But in all the recorded history, there had only ever been three definite Divergents . Furthermore, they had existed so long ago that those recordings were very vague .

And so no one could be sure of any exact details about Divergents, and the legends could not be entirely trusted . Although Long Chen was powerful, in front of a peak mid Tendon Transformation expert, he would definitely lose .

And so that was why Ling Yun-zi gave Long Chen this option to simply give him his complaints about any injustices . If Wu Qi really had abused his authority against him, he would get justice for Long Chen .

“Reporting to sect leader, what happened was-” Tang Wan-er quickly walked out and was about to explain what had happened .

But Long Chen waved his hand, “Great sect leader, in this world where only strength is respected, there is never any fairness or justice . Complaints of unfairness are just the excuses of the weak, only confirming their own incompetence and foolishness . And since the world has no fairness, then we should use strength to speak . Please help me out great sect leader . ”

“Long Chen!” Tang Wan-er’s expression changed . He was clearly on the righteous side, but he refused to explain himself, stubbornly issuing this life and death challenge!

That Wu Qi was a peak mid Tendon Transformation expert, and Long Chen was definitely not his match! He was just sending himself to death .

Tang Wan-er grumbled inside . Why was Long Chen sometimes so smart that people felt he was a sage, yet sometimes so foolish that nothing could save him?

“Faction leader, don’t try to persuade him . I understand the boss; he wants to personally revenge his enmity and not want to rely on the monastery’s power to punish Wu Qi,” said Guo Ran .

Having been with Long Chen for this long, Guo Ran had a great understanding of Long Chen’s character . Long Chen wouldn’t easily become angry, but once he did, that meant that something had touched upon his taboos .

Furthermore, he was not entirely free from fault in this matter . First of all, Little Snow couldn’t formally be considered his housepet since he hadn’t placed a spiritual imprint on him . There was no way to definitively prove they knew this was Long Chen’s Magical Beast .

Wu Qi could easily make an excuse for himself by saying he had accidentally stumbled upon a Magical Beast in the wilderness and wanted to subdue it .

An ownerless Magical Beast was something anyone had the right to subdue for their own . Even killing them was no problem .

If Wu Qi simply said he didn’t know this was Long Chen’s Magical Beast, there wasn’t much they could do . Little Snow had no markings on him that showed he was Long Chen’s . And with no spiritual imprint, he definitely had a leg to stand on .

Even the sect leader would not be able to prove the truth . And it was only because Wu Qi had known that that he had been so brazen as to capture Little Snow .

With Long Chen’s intelligence, how could he not realize Wu Qi was sure of his own safety? So there was no way to get revenge through that route . And so Long Chen was disinclined to explain himself, directly forcing the life and death challenge .

Tu Fang’s expression changed slightly, as he could easily tell that Long Chen had no chance of defeating Wu Qi .

But in accordance to the monastery’s rules, not even the sect leader could change what was happening . He could only be worried inside . Long Chen was really too stubborn, not even knowing when to retreat! Tu Fang could only helplessly sigh .

“You have to be think this thought . Once the challenge is issued, there’s no way to change it,” once more warned Ling Yun-zi .

“Many thanks for the warning sect leader . Disciple is sure . ” Long Chen cupped his hands to Ling Yun-zi, knowing he was looking out for him . But he had to do this .

Seeing Little Snow’s condition gave him so much fury he felt he might explode . If he couldn’t personally kill Wu Qi, living would be a complete disgrace to him .

Although he had no guarantee against a peak mid Tendon Transformation expert, he no longer cared .

This time it wasn’t that will in the back of his head that wasn’t forcing him, but his own will . No one would hurt those close to him without paying a price .

“Wu Qi, do you accept the challenge?” Ling Yun-zi turned to glance at Wu Qi lightly .

Wu Qi immediately felt as if all his thoughts were laid bare before Ling Yun-zi . It was as if Ling Yun-zi’s indifferent gaze could see completely through him, causing him to sweat .

“Disciples… accepts the challenge . ” Wu Qi lowered his head, not even daring to look Ling Yun-zi in the eyes .

If he didn’t accept the challenge, he would be expelled from the monastery . That was the harshest part of the life and death challenge .
