420 The only fear is that the Celestial King will not dare to participate (2/2)

To the Transcendents, destroying the Transcendence Holy Tree was equivalent to committing a sacrilegious act against the entire race which deserved death. And the blame was put on the Celestial King.

Normally, if they wanted to sacrifice the Celestial King as an offering to the holy tree, they would first need to gain victory in the war against the Celestial domain.

However, with the letter from the Infernal King, they had seen a new glimmer of hope.

With the three kings engaging in a life-and-death battle, revenge was at hand!

The giant chose to participate in the life-and-death battle without any hesitation.

”The race of the Transcendents is the strongest race in the world. When This King shatters the skulls of the Infernal King and the Celestial King, no one in the three domains will ever dare to deny this fact.”

The gatekeeping giant looked towards the Celestial domain as a sneer suffused across his lips.

”The only fear is that the useless Celestial King will not dare to participate.”

...

”The only fear is that the Celestial King will not dare to participate.”

Shi Xiaobai said as he landed the black piece in his hand.

Shi Xiaobai, who was utterly bored, was playing Go with the Infernal Queen. The main reason was that he was attempting to gain more useful information from the Infernal Queen. However, after a few rounds of Aeroplane Chess, they had no choice but to decide on a draw. After that, Shi Xiaobai suggested changing the game.

The Infernal Queen did not mind it. Therefore, the two began playing all sorts of games, Chinese chess, Go, Stratego, Jungle, Chinese checkers, Gomoku, Reversi, etc.

However, Shi Xiaobai never won again.

Of course, he never lost either.

No matter what game it was, it would end up with a tie or a tie had to be forced.

Shi Xiaobai's morale and fighting spirit did not dull because of the frequent ties. Instead, it intensified and he wished to defeat the Infernal Queen once again.

The Infernal Queen did not reveal a trace of weariness either. The fighting spirit in her eyes was even more intense than Shi Xiaobai's. It appeared as though she was extremely indignant about losing to Shi Xiaobai at a score of 1-0. While playing the board games, the Infernal Queen would constantly speak sultrily. When the Infernal Queen commented on the life-and-death battle between the three kings, she had been full of praise for Shi Xiaobai's intelligence.

Shi Xiaobai calmly accepted the Infernal Queen's praises but he expressed something that was on his mind—the only fear is that the Celestial King would not dare to participate.

Shi Xiaobai was not afraid that the new Transcendent king would reject the participation of the battle because the Transcendence Holy Tree had been destroyed. The new Transcendent king clearly would not give up on the opportunity to seek revenge on the Celestial King.

The only thing to worry about was if the Celestial King would refuse the battle.

Shi Xiaobai had waited to the moment when his reputation was rotten before sending the letter so as to force the Celestial King to accept the challenge. However, only the heavens knew if the Celestial King would be cowardly enough to rather accept the infamous title of being 'the most cowardly Celestial King in all of eternity' than accepting the risk of participating in the life-and-death battle.IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said ””, but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
