Chapter 637 - 451 Insolent Remarks
Chongxu Daoist, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, was well aware of the stakes involved. Even though Li Yi had taken the initiative to kill more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators in one breath, the best way to eliminate Li Yi was to face him on the Magic Battle Platform. If he acted rashly, it could instantly escalate into a war between two realms.
Although their investigation over the past month had revealed that the divine being was not from Earth, the fact remained that it still deliberately protected this place. Small skirmishes were acceptable, but if things got out of hand and that divine being crossed realms to strike, shattering the Xuanxian Continent, they would all bear the blame.
"Fine, then let’s settle it on the Magic Battle Platform. It’ll also let the people from Xuanxian Continent understand that wantonly oppressing others comes with a price." Li Yi agreed immediately. With backing now, he wasn’t afraid of any tricks the other party might pull.
Chongxu Daoist said coldly, "You demon, you started by killing more than a dozen of our cultivators. While our actions may have been somewhat improper, we never sought to take your life. You’re truly an ungrateful wretch."
Li Yi stared at him and said, "That’s because they were useless, unable to withstand a single blow from me. Moreover, your lack of intention to kill wasn’t out of mercy but out of fear. If there weren’t that bit of apprehension, the people of Xuanxian Continent would be no different from bandits and robbers. Anyway, I have no interest in discussing this further. Victory and defeat dictate everything, as it has always been since ancient times. If you can’t fight back, talking about fairness is delusional—dead men don’t seek justice."
"Is Taixian Weng’s Golden Light Glass Mirror in your possession?" Chongxu Daoist asked coldly, unwilling to engage further with Li Yi, and instead changed the topic abruptly.
Li Yi said, "It’s with me. Want to duel for it? You’d better bring an equivalent treasure as your stake."
He didn’t bother to deny it, in fact, he encouraged the other party to bring a treasure for their duel. This way, he could walk away with an additional artifact and also test the difference between Dao Artifacts and regular treasures.
"Hmph, see you on the Magic Battle Platform in ten minutes. Don’t even think about running away."
