Chapter 472: Drops of Blood!

“If you want to bet something, put your life at stake!” Said Lin Feng. His words were like thunder and made everyone’s hearts pound. They were all staring at Lin Feng. That guy was extremely aggressive; he wanted to have a battle to the death with the seventh envoy of Tian Feng.

The seventh envoy took himself too seriously and thought too highly of himself. What gave him the right to think that he could use the princess as a stake in a bet? He didn’t respect Duan Xin Ye and had humiliated her by proposing it. Lin Feng wanted to kill him.

On the side of Xue Yue, everyone seemed like they wanted to laugh with joy. Even though some of them didn’t like Lin Feng, the seventh envoy had humiliated Xue Yue and their princess. They were rooting for Lin Feng.

The seventh envoy was strong, but he was as strong as She Qiong. That wasn’t bad at all, but Lin Feng, when he had the strength of the second Xuan Qi layer could already kill She Qiong and now he had broken through to the third Xuan Qi layer.Killing that seventh envoy was not a problem for him. If he killed that seventh envoy, it would humiliate everyone from Tian Feng who spoke so arrogantly.

Tian Feng’s people coldly glared at Lin Feng. He surprisingly wanted to have a battle to the death.

The seventh envoy’s face looked particularly glum. Even though Lin Feng had only broken through to the third Xuan Qi layer, he was sitting next to Duan Wu Ya which meant that he thought highly of Lin Feng. The seventh envoy understood a principle, when strong cultivators challenged somebody to the death; it meant that they were sure they would win.

“I have broken through to the fourth Xuan Qi layer; I am much stronger than a normal cultivator of the fourth Xuan Qi layer. He has broken through to the third Xuan Qi layer and is sure of his victory, but in reality he can probably only fight against ordinary cultivators of the fourth Xuan Qi layer. I don’t believe that he can defeat me.” Thought the seventh envoy. Dangerous lights were twinkling in his eyes. Lin Feng wanted a battle to the death, so he would gladly accept!

The seventh envoy looked at Feng Chen and the ambassadors from the Dragon Mountain Empire, and then said; “Seniors, I have come with you to Xue Yue, we have come here to battle and learn from each other. That person is pushing me too far, he wants to fight a battle to the death against me. Since that is the case, I have to accept.”

“I have no objection.” Said Feng Chen indifferently. He looked at Duan Wu Ya who was remaining silent which meant that he was tacitly agreeing, thus, Feng Chen couldn’t refuse. It would have meant that he didn’t think the seventh envoy could win against Lin Feng.

The ambassador from the empire looked at Lin Feng and Feng Chen and said indifferently: “The purpose of the banquet was to find young and outstanding cultivators, the goal wasn’t to have battles to the death or see anyone injured. However, cultivators will have conflicts and will wager on battles. If they wager their own lives, nothing can be done. Some cultivators don’t fear death.”

When people heard the ambassador’s remarks, they understood that he was agreeing. The winner would live, the loser would die.

The people of the empire had first gone to Tian Feng; they selected those young and outstanding cultivators and brought them to Xue Yue. They wanted to see who, between the outstanding juniors of Tian Feng and Xue Yue, were the strongest. For the Great Competition of Xue Yue, they wanted to have the most outstanding cultivators of Xue Yue. The purpose of the battles was to eliminate the weakest by process of elimination, if the weaker ones in the group died, it didn’t matter too much. At least, the ambassador didn’t think it mattered much. Weak cultivators had no value, if they died, it didn’t matter to him.

Everybody was well aware of his thoughts but nobody dared to say anything.

“Alright.” Said the seventh envoy while nodding solemnly and staring at Lin Feng. He then said coldly: “I accept your challenge!

Immediately after, the atmosphere was invaded by an oppressive silence.

Because the atmosphere had become too oppressive, the beautiful girl playing the zither had grown nervous and a string on her instrument broke, bringing the music to an abrupt stop.

When the zither stopped, the dancers also stopped dancing. They were all starting to tremble from fear, they didn’t know what to do.

“Go back, it’s alright.” Said Duan Wu Ya indifferently. At that moment, nobody felt like listening to music anymore.

The graceful dancers left, just like mist floating in the air.

The seventh envoy looked at Lin Feng, his eyes were cruel.

“Your Excellency wants a battle to the death, I accept!”

The seventh envoy stood up, his silhouette flickered and he appeared on the vast cultivation field. He was extremely fast.

“Come.” Said the seventh envoy while staring at Lin Feng.

People from Tian Feng were also all staring at Lin Feng and the fifth envoy said: “You proposed a battle to death and the seventh envoy is already waiting, but you are still sitting, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you were just talking big? Could it be that you are nothing more than a coward?”

Lin Feng glanced at the fifth envoy, he slowly stood up and immediately left the pavilion.
