Chapter 908: Confrontation between the Heroes
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Hand over Lord Glacier or go to war. Netherworld Palace can choose.”
When Lord Asura’s cold and murderous voice spread among the heavens and the earth, all the forces in the region were slightly shocked, as it was somewhat unexpected that Daluo Territory would be so straightforward in their demands.
The meeting between the heroes had been full of hostility and animosity from the get-go.
Standing before the Netherworld Palace’s army, a glint flashed in Lord Heavenly Evil’s eyes as Lord Asura’s voice was heard. He slowly raised his gaze, and his eyes met Lord Asura’s. The chilling glint in them was strong enough to freeze the air.
“Lord Asura, is this the kind of attitude you use to ask for someone’s return?” Lord Heavenly Evil stated calmly, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
“If Daluo Territory employs a better attitude and pleads with us in a softer tone, maybe I’ll take the whole situation into consideration and let Lord Glacier go, but at the moment, you don’t seem like you are here to negotiate.”
A sardonic smirk surfaced on Lord Asura’s face. He stared at Lord Heavenly Evil and smiled. “Lord Heavenly Evil, with which eye did you see that we came to negotiate? Today, no matter whether you hand him over or not, Daluo Territory is not willing to take things from Netherworld Palace lying down.”
Lord Asura’s words were absolutely decisive, and the killing intent in them was even more intense. Lord Glacier was captured, and his men were slaughtered. If they let such enmity go, Daluo Territory’s reputation would be utterly ruined.
The sarcastic smile on Lord Heavenly Evil’s face also fell slightly. Clearly, he had not expected Lord Asura’s determination and ruthlessness. Originally, they did try to tarnish Daluo Territory’s reputation, but now it seemed that Lord Asura was equally shrewd and showed no willingness to compromise. Obviously, Netherworld Palace had miscalculated.
However, although there were some miscalculations, they did not affect the overall situation. Today’s matter was set up as a trap for Daluo Territory. A cold glint flashed in Lord Heavenly Evil’s eyes. He said indifferently, “Take things lying down? Lord Asura, do you really think our Netherworld Palace is an inferior force?
“Today, I have gathered all the men of my Netherworld Palace. Even if all the forces of your Daluo Territory have swarmed out in full strength, what can you do?”
Lord Asura stated chillingly, “What can we do? Daluo Territory will fight to the death with Netherworld Palace and by then, we can both die together!”
Both parties were top powers in the North Territory. If they really fought, they would be sure to concentrate their full strength. Whoever won would inevitably pay a heavy price, and by that time, the fruits of the victory would not belong to either side but would fall to others who were covetous and eager to win.
Lord Heavenly Evil’s eyes narrowed slightly. Lord Asura’s attitude was such a pain in the neck, and his domineering stance did inflict a sense of oppression. After all, the determination to drag the opposition down, even at one’s own expense, was not something most people had.
Between the heavens and the earth, all the forces were watching the confrontation. The top two forces were both emanating murderous auras. The level of conflict was such that even the first-class forces were not qualified to join in, so they had to wait for the situation to develop and then see if anything could be gained from it.
Just as a cold glint was flashing in Lord Heavenly Evil’s eyes, laughter suddenly rang out from the other side of the sky, and countless gazes suddenly shifted away. Lord Heavenly Dragon stood before the Divine Pavilion’s army, and an aura of dragon power flashed in his eyes as he laughed.
“Haha, I haven’t seen you, Lord Asura, for many years, but it’s really admirable that your style of doing things is still so brutal. But today I’m afraid it will be hard for Daluo Territory to drag us down with you.”
As soon as Lord Heavenly Dragon said this, many forces felt something was wrong with the atmosphere, and they seemed to sense that today’s so-called grand gathering of the heroes was targeting Daluo Territory.
Before they recovered from the shock, a tall and burly man covered in golden armor stood in front of the forces of Tian Xuan Hall and declared in a low voice, “Since Daluo Territory has already made so many enemies, then Tian Xuan Hall will partake in this, too. Let’s see if Daluo Territory can retreat safely today!”
Woah!
After the Heavenly Divine General of Tian Xuan Hall had spoken, a boisterous uproar erupted in the arena as everyone’s gazes flickered. They obviously did not expect the three top forces—Netherworld Palace, Divine Pavilion, and Tian Xuan Hall—to form an alliance and attack Daluo Territory at the same time!
Facing the siege from the three top forces, even if Daluo Territory was also a top force, it would face absolute, inevitable doom!
Could it be that before the final battle of the Great Hunting War, the people of Daluo Territory would be annihilated here?
The eyes of all the forces were constantly twinkling, and the air seemed to be freezing at this moment. The confrontation between the four top forces resulted in a sense of oppression that left people breathless.
The Prince of Netherworld from Netherworld Palace, Fang Yi of the Divine Pavilion, and Liu Yan and Xiao Tian of Tian Xuan Palace all stared at Mu Chen, who was standing in front of the Daluo Territory army with a cold look in his eyes. They looked at the prey they were about to hunt. After all, this situation was a dead end for Daluo Territory.
