Chapter 739: A Battle
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everyone in the world was dumbstruck as they gaped at the figure who was seated on the throne. Evidently, no one had ever expected that the terrifying attack from Liu Tiandao would be sucked into his mouth with such ease.
Mu Chen was completely blown away. There was an astonishingly large difference between the abilities of an Earth Sovereign and an ordinary sovereign. Looking at the offensive move just performed by Liu Tiandao, if the dominator of Daluo Territory had not blocked it, the attack would have caused thousands of casualties in the Daluo Territory in the blink of an eye. His abilities had reached such a level that, it would be almost impossible to even rely on quantitative advantage to mitigate the failures, unless they had a war troop dispatcher with an extremely formidable troop…
As Liu Tiandao witnessed this scene, his sunken eyes squinted a little. His micro-expressions also seemed a bit solemn. Although he had not unleashed his full powers in the previous attack, he had already achieved his main goal.
He was able to conduct his offensive attack with such ease! There was not even a slight fluctuation in his internal spiritual energy! Evidently, the dominator of Daluo Territory was not as weak as he had expected him to be.
“How could this have happened…” Liu Tiandao’s gaze turned slightly cold. It is impossible that the information that he had received could have been wrong. The dominator of Daluo Territory’s internal injuries should be flaring up at this point in time, which would leave him extremely vulnerable and frail. However, looking at the current state of affairs, his abilities were still as powerful as ever.
“It seems like Clan Leader Liu intends to have a friendly battle with me?” As Liu Tiandao’s gaze shifted a little, the husky voice of the dominator of Daluo Territory, who was seated on the throne, also thundered across the place. The strident sound wave caused by it had actually distorted the entire space around it!
“Hehe, I was just testing to see if the dominator of Daluo Territory had actually perfected his skills over the years.”
Liu Tiandao swayed the sleeves of his robe and smiled faintly. His gaze immediately shifted toward the grandiose battlefield, as he said, “But, it will be rather unfair if you were to join this battle, considering that you are, after all, the almighty dominator of Daluo Territory. Tian Xuan Hall has close bonds with the Hundred Battle Territory. Thus, if you intend to oppress the people with your powers and authority, I’m afraid that Tian Xuan Hall will not be able to just sit back and watch.”
“Well then, I’m intrigued to see Tian Xuan Hall’s level of endurance,” the dominator of Daluo Territory sneered, remaining seated on his throne. There was no hint of fear in his tone, despite the interference from Tian Xuan Hall.
Liu Tiandao smiled and glared at the dominator of Daluo Territory, “Why would the dominator of Daluo Territory say such a thing? We are both well aware of the situation at hand. If you were to make a move, I would have no choice but to stop you from doing so, as only then would I be able to prevent you from meddling with this battle. Besides… I would still wish you the best, even if all of you still intend to instigate a life-and-death battle with the Hundred Battle Territory.”
The rays that shrouded the body of the dominator of Daluo Territory flickered a little. He then smiled faintly and said, “Well then, you should stop spouting nonsense. What do you want? Cut to the chase and lay all of your cards on the table.”
Liu Tiandao smiled. “No doubt, the dominator of Daluo Territory is truly pleasant to deal with. However, I’m not the host. You should direct that question to the three leaders of the Hundred Battle Territory instead.”
As Liu Tiandao finished speaking, the Sword-hiding Elder of the Valley of Ten Thousand Swords smiled cheekily at the dominator of Daluo Territory. He then said, “Looking at today’s situation, both parties are clearly unwilling to fight a life-and-death battle, but we cannot allow the Daluo Territory to go home empty-handed. Thus, the Hundred Battle Territory is willing to set up a prizefight instead. As such, we will be able to avoid hurting each other, but a concise decision can still be made. When the time comes, the losing party will have to compensate the winner with a million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid and a thousand cities. What do you think?” He turned to address his question directly to the dominator of Daluo Territory.
“One million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid? A thousand cities?”
As news of the exact sum of the compensation spread, the crowd was thrown into an uproar. Even the eyes of the three kings lit up. Although the Daluo Territory was able to provide a million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, it was still a rather hefty price.
The price of one thousand cities was also astonishingly high. Even if they were to divide out some parts of the Daluo Territory, it would still be a pain in the neck.
Mu Chen was stunned. Even when they had turned the Thunder Magic Sect upside down, the value of the loot that they had obtained was not even equal to the price of two hundred thousand Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. And to think, the Hundred Battle Territory demanded a million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid as the prize of the fight!
The three kings stared at the dominator of the Daluo Territory. They were obviously waiting for him to make the final decision.
With all eyes upon him, the dominator of Daluo Territory paused for a short while before he spoke. Then, his voice firm and stern, he said, “What would be the fight’s criteria and rules?”
“Simple…” the Sword-hiding Elder began to explain. “The fight will be divided into three battles — the battle of the kings, the battle of the Lords, and the battle of the commanders. This means that the Daluo Territory will have to send out three representatives — a king, a lord, and a commander. Likewise, the Hundred Battle Territory will also have to do the same. Whoever wins the most out of the three battles will be the final victor.”
“Why go to all of that trouble? The three big shots from the Hundred Battle Territory should just make a move on us. We, the three kings, will just directly take you all down. Isn’t this easier? Don’t you guys have confidence in yourselves?” the Condor King snickered.
“Hehe, that would be such a meaningless fight. In such an event, we should give our younger members a chance to shine,” said the Sword-hiding Elder with a smile plastered on his face.
The Condor King’s eyebrows furrowed. He then looked at the dominator of Daluo Territory on the throne. The fact that the opponent had made such a move had evidently created some uncertainties regarding the fight.
The rays around the Daluo Territory flickered a little, almost as if they were directly related to the flickering gaze now emanating from the dominator of Daluo Territory himself. After he scanned through the various powerhouses for a short moment, his stern, husky voice thundered, “Alright, we will take part in this fight.”
“The dominator of Daluo Territory sure is a bold person!” the Sword-hiding Elder smiled, bowing in respect.
“Send out your three representatives of the Hundred Battle Territory. I’m truly curious of the abilities that your people have,” said the dominator of Daluo Territory nonchalantly.
