War God Long Ao

Long Ao was challenging Guan Feng?

Watching Long Ao on the martial arts arena, everyone was a bit stunned, wondering what on earth had gotten into him.

Had Long Ao's mind been clouded by Slaughter?

"Brother Dugu, what's wrong with Brother Long?"

"I don't know," Dugu Bai's expression was also extremely grim. Ghost King Ao Tian had finally stepped in to help. If Long Ao chose to back down now, saving his own life would have been more than guaranteed.

Admittedly, Long Ao's strength was truly formidable. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the number one expert beneath the Supreme Venerable realm.

But was Long Ao a match for a Supreme Venerable?

Without a doubt, there was a one-hundred-percent chance that Long Ao was no match for a Supreme Venerable. As everyone knew, the gap between a Venerable and a Supreme Venerable was enormous; they weren't even in the same league.

For that very reason, in everyone's eyes, Long Ao challenging Guan Feng was nothing short of a death wish.

Hearing that Long Ao wanted to challenge Guan Feng, Xia Fang was inwardly delighted. Ghost King Ao Tian's sudden intervention had given Long Ao a great chance to leave the Blood Sea Sect unscathed, but now, Long Ao's arrogance had sealed his fate to be slain.

Long Ao was a Venerable; Guan Feng was a Supreme Venerable.

A Venerable challenging a Supreme Venerable was like a child challenging a grown man—it wasn't a challenge at all.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded. No one could have predicted that Long Ao would suddenly challenge Guan Feng—challenge a Supreme Venerable.

"You want to challenge me?"

Forget everyone else; Guan Feng himself looked as if he had just heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.

"Guan Feng, don't you dare?"

"Hahaha, what is there to not dare? Today, I'd like to see just how you plan to challenge me."

Moving with the wind, Guan Feng's figure landed steadily on the Blood Pool Martial Arts Arena. Contempt and mockery were written all over his face. 'A mere Venerable wants to challenge me?'

"Long Ao, don't be reckless."

Ghost King Ao Tian's expression was so dark it bordered on apprehension. He had already made his move, ready to take Long Ao away, but what did Long Ao do?

Challenging Guan Feng… did Long Ao really have that much confidence?

It was simply impossible. It wasn't just that Ao Tian didn't believe it; no one would.

"Ao Tian, this is my Blood Sea Sect. You are not welcome here. Please leave."

"Hmph."

"This battle is unavoidable. No matter what happens today, the Blood Sea Sect is doomed."

Ao Tian looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he held his tongue. He took three steps back and said no more. For some reason, Long Ao's defiance made him look forward to seeing what he was truly capable of.

If Long Ao could actually slay Guan Feng, then for the Sect, it would undoubtedly be a monumental good thing.

"Brother Long."

Before Dugu Bai and Xia Army could say anything, Long Ao waved his hand dismissively. He didn't say much, but the look on his face told everyone everything: 'It's me or the Blood Sea Sect. This doesn't end until one of us is dead.'

Sighing deeply, Dugu Bai and Xia Army knew Long Ao's personality all too well. Once he set his mind on something, forget about changing it—you couldn't drag him back with ten bulls.

"Hahaha, what an arrogant brat! Long Ao, we two old men would also like to see how you intend to defeat our Sect Leader."

Just then, two terrifying auras swept in from the distance, arriving in the blink of an eye. They belonged to two elders, both with hoary white hair and frail, skinny bodies that looked as if they could be blown over by a gust of wind.

'Two Supreme Venerables?'

The two elders were none other than two of the Blood Sea Sect's three great Supreme Venerables: Supreme Venerable Guan Tong and Supreme Venerable Ma Ying. Both were High Level Supreme Venerables who, together with Guan Feng, were known as the Three Supreme Venerables of Blood Sea.

"Uncle, Uncle Ma."

Seeing the two Supreme Venerables, Guan Feng bowed respectfully. Although he was the Sect Leader of the Blood Sea Sect, these two were the pillars that supported it. Moreover, their status was clear: Guan Tong was Guan Feng's uncle—his biological uncle.

Seeing the two Supreme Venerables who had suddenly appeared, Long Ao showed not the slightest bit of worry. He remained standing where he was, proud and cold, his eyes locked firmly on Guan Feng.

"Long Ao, you killed ten of my Blood Sea Sect's Venerables. This is a feud that cannot be reconciled. However, I will give you a chance. Fight Guan Feng. As long as you win, you can leave."

It sounded like they were giving Long Ao a chance, but everyone knew in their hearts that he had no chance of defeating Guan Feng. After all, the gap between a Venerable and a Supreme Venerable was simply too vast.

"Hmph. Just now, Guan Feng and I made a deal. If I defeated the ten Venerables, the entire Blood Sea Sect would commit collective suicide. I wonder, will the Blood Sea Sect honor that agreement?"

Long Ao's words plunged the entire Boundless Sea of Blood into dead silence.

Everyone had heard the agreement between Long Ao and Guan Feng: a battle between Long Ao and the ten Venerables, and if Long Ao won, the entire Blood Sea Sect would commit suicide. But would the Blood Sea Sect really do that?

Guan Feng and the two Supreme Venerables' expressions turned utterly foul. Collective suicide? What kind of joke was that?

Guan Feng said nothing, because that was indeed the agreement he had made with Long Ao. But no matter what, it was impossible for the Blood Sea Sect to commit collective suicide. Besides, Long Ao had to die.

Seeing Guan Feng's silence, the surrounding crowd began to murmur, their words filled mostly with mockery and contempt. Everyone knew that Guan Feng would definitely not honor the agreement. Collective suicide—unless you were a fool, no one would do such a thing.

"Long Ao, the agreement between you and Guan Feng is impossible to fulfill. However, I will give you a chance this time. It's as I said: as long as you can defeat Guan Feng, you can leave, and the events of today will be written off."

Guan Tong's words didn't draw any mockery or contempt. In any case, Guan Tong was much better than Guan Feng. At the very least, he dared to face the issue head-on: 'I don't want to honor the agreement, and I'll say so truthfully.' It was unlike Guan Feng, who could only remain silent.

"Fine. I'll give you credit for being straightforward. I'll fight Guan Feng. If I lose, I'll end my own life here. But if I win, the Blood Sea Sect commits collective suicide. Does the Blood Sea Sect dare accept this challenge?"

There it was again.

Hearing Long Ao's challenge, the three Supreme Venerables' expressions tightened. The more confident their opponent appeared, the less certain they felt, even though they were absolutely convinced that a Venerable could never defeat a Supreme Venerable.

"Long Ao, you really are arrogant."

"Hahaha, for a Sect that doesn't keep its word, any number of agreements are pointless. I can't even be bothered to despise the Blood Sea Sect anymore. Guan Feng, this is a life-and-death battle between us, to the bitter end! I have only one demand: no one is to interfere in our fight. Otherwise, may the Blood Sea Sect be condemned by Heaven and Earth!"

The Blood Sea Sect might dare to break its promise to Long Ao, but they didn't dare to defy an oath to Heaven and Earth. Things had already been pushed to this point. Guan Feng knew that if he continued to remain silent, the Blood Sea Sect's reputation would truly be finished.

Before the other two Supreme Venerables could say anything, Guan Feng took a step forward and said coldly, "Fine. A life-and-death battle between us, to the bitter end. No matter who wins or loses, no one will disturb us. Long Ao, I'm very curious to know what exactly gave you the courage to challenge me."
