Chapter 1465: Dauntless and Fearless (III)
“......” Li Hao was immensely resigned. What’s with this guy? I can’t leave and I can’t stay. He’s freaking annoying. You’re an exalted emperor already! Why are you so childish? I know why Suncloud was destroyed now—it's because it had exalted emperors like you lot! It’s only normal for it to be eliminated in that case.
You’re out and about without a backer, but still causing trouble. Do you not know how to keep a low profile? Look at me, when do I ever say that I’ve seen all of the seventh rank exalted emperors known from New Martial and that I’m kind of part of their crew?
I never talk about that, do I?
“I really don’t want to cause trouble...” Li Hao’s head hurt. “How about this? It looks like fellow daoist is treating me as a punching bag. And since this place might contain some remnants of dao that can be activated by the blood essence of an exalted emperor... that’s probably why fellow daoist is being so harsh with me.
“I am a newcomer and unfamiliar with the rules here,” the young man said after some consideration. “Since we are at a dao foundation site, this is not a suitable place to run rampant in. If the fellow daoist really would like to vent your spleen, we are not far from the southern gate. You and I can head over there and spar with each other.
“If it comes down to it, I’ll just let the fellow daoist get a few hits in. That will save face for both of us in the long run.”
“......” The group blinked, as did the Suncloud exalted emperor.
Single combat? This guy was so juvenile! The Suncloud exalted emperor had originally bore a dislike for him by association, but the irritating guy was inviting him to a sparring match. It was quite the odd proposal.
Was it confidence, or as the other said, that permitting the Suncloud exalted emperor to beat him up would neatly resolve the matter?
The Suncould exalted emperor was now trapped by his own words!
“Why forsake what is close by for something far away?” laughed the second rank exalted emperor. He’d been silent thus far and chose to join the conversation now. “Why not conduct your business here? I can be the intermediary as the two of you determine a victor. After that, let’s close the books on the matter, what say you?”
It would be just as nice if one of them was injured and produced some blood essence to stimulate the dao foundation site. He could sit back and watch the show!
