Chapter 164 - 152: Martial Cultivator vs Taoist Cultivator, Who Will Win?_5
"Are you two really going to fight to the death? If not, disperse now!"
"We must fight to the death!"
Although Xie Wenren was wary of Mahaparinirvana’s background, he had no choice but to proceed, the arrow was already on the string and he had to shoot. Because he boasted to Cen Wenjin and made those outrageous statements, he couldn’t just return without accomplishing anything. If Cen Wenjin saw his master and reported Xie’s shameful behavior that brought disgrace to his sect, it would be even harder for him to get by in the Flame Cloud Sect. Therefore, Xie couldn’t simply kill Mahaparinirvana today, but at the very least he had to defeat him!
"I’m going to kill him and use his heart and liver to accompany my drink!"
Mahaparinirvana barked through clenched teeth.
"This monk is full of murderous intent! Truly a living bandit!"
Upon hearing this, the four Night Travelers looked solemn as they admonished Xie Wenren and Mahaparinirvana:
"The Emperor issued a decree years ago stipulating that any outsiders who fight to the death within Chang’an City must abide by the following rules: First, do not damage houses; second, regardless of victory or defeat, life or death, do not involve respective sects; third, during the fight, do not fly higher than thirty meters, not surpassing the height of the Imperial Palace walls; fourth, the fight must take place within the space where the four of us are present; fifth, resolve the fight within the time of one incense stick, and if the time is exceeded, stop immediately—don’t fight again for a month. If you violate any of these rules, regardless of background, you will be arrested. Have the two of you understood?"
"So the Emperor is afraid of outsiders fighting and causing a massacre in Chang’an, killing the innocent and disturbing the people, which is why The Night Traveler’s Bureau is overseeing this. I was wondering why there are many experts hidden in Chang’an but never saw any flying with Sword Control; turns out there are such regulations."
