Chapter 741: 255 Chapter 741: 255 “Who’s next?

Feng Yin and Cat Emperor both clapped hands to their foreheads. The way these three words were spoken was…absolutely unbelievable!

With a sigh, Peng Wanli said, “At the time, I had already fought three rounds. I victoriously went from one battle to the next, especially in the third one, I managed to find a sliver of difference during the chaotic fight and defeated Lan Shui. However, only I knew how risky it was. To everyone around, I looked as if I was perfectly fine, even managing to put on a relaxed facade… little did they know, not only had I fooled the enemy, but also our allies.”

“I simply wanted to adopt a certain attitude, then I speculated that the Demon tribe would definitely say that Elder Peng has already won three rounds, let’s give others a chance to perform…”

“If anyone had said something at that time, I would have followed suit and stepped down because three victories were already a great honor and it was enough to determine the power balance!”

Peng Wanli chuckled bitterly, “Never would I have thought that nobody from the Demon tribe would speak up. They only cheered and made a commotion.”

“There were even some who yelled, ‘Elder Peng, go for the ninth!'”

“Then everyone yelled in unison, ‘go for the ninth! go for the ninth!'”

“When I heard this, I was dumbfounded.”

Cat Emperor and Feng Yin were speechless.

Elder, you’ve overdone the show-off.

“On the human side, they sent out Great Master Qingxiao!”

“When Great Master Qingxiao stepped forward and asked me: ‘can you still fight?’ At that time, the cheers for ‘go for the ninth’ were shaking the heavens. How could I utter a single word that I actually couldn’t fight anymore… So, I uttered a second regrettable sentence: ‘I can manage to continue fighting with you.’

“Great Master Qingxiao nodded slowly and said, ‘In that case, let’s fight!'”

A look of regret appeared on Peng Wanli’s face, as if he didn’t want to recall the past.

Empathizing with the atmosphere during that time, Feng Yin couldn’t help but say, “Yeah, under such vigorous momentum, it would indeed be impossible to utter a word about substituting someone else to take my place. Since I’m putting on a bold face, I would have to continue doing so even if it kills me. But if it were me, I guess I would probably say, ‘I don’t even need to deal with you, let a junior handle you!'”

To this, Peng Wanli was taken aback, “I didn’t think of that…I was just thinking, I can’t retreat.”

Feng Yin couldn’t help but bitter laughter.

Because he also understood: If Peng Wanli said he would retreat at that time… that would have certainly become the butt of all jokes for all times!

Cat Emperor knew that Feng Yin didn’t know about the people Peng Wanli had mentioned, so he explained with a grave voice: “For your understanding, little fellow, that Mo Kong is the teacher of Black Cloud, one of the current Nine Colors Supreme; Yellow Spring is the teacher of Yellow Wind of the Nine Colors Supreme; And there’s Lan Shui, who is the teacher of Lan Dan, a supreme lord. As for the last Qingxiao… he is the teacher of Qing Ming, a great supreme lord!”

Hearing Cat Emperor’s explanation, Feng Yin couldn’t maintain his calm expression anymore; he was utterly shocked.

This Elder Peng, he had actually battled with four great lords consecutively and won three battles?!

This… this cultivation level…

No wonder the effect of my elixir on him is so weak.

Feng Yin finally understood: the level is just not high enough, that’s why!

“There was no way around it, I was backed into a corner. I had no choice but to keep fighting till the end. After Great Master Qingxiao came on, without hesitation and as soon as we started fighting, he displayed his best skills, the Azure Sea Heavenly Divine Skill, that brought him fame. It was clear that he intended to defeat me in one fell swoop and reverse the unfavorable situation.”

Peng Wanli heaved a deep sigh, “The moment we started fighting, I was immediately put at a disadvantage, but I was clearly aware that if I lost this fight, especially if I lost pathetically, the prestige I had established with three victories would vanish instantly.

Moreover, the Demon Tribe could possibly be placed in a dire situation where they would be swept by Great Master Qingxiao. To be fair, his strength, even when I was at my peak, would result in an evenly matched fight at most.

If I can secure three victories, after defeating me, using the momentum of this major victory, he could also manage to win three more rounds with ease, even up to the fifth round. Even if Demon King could defeat a greatly weakened him, the Demon King would also inevitably get extensively drained. As for the last two rounds, the chances are not looking good for the Demon Tribe.”

“Considering all these factors, even if I were to lose, I should at least try to incapacitate Great Master Qingxiao to the extent that he could not fight in subsequent battles!”

“With this in mind, and after considering varied factors, I chose to self-destruct my Origin and engage in a life-and-death battle with Great Master Qingxiao!”

“In the end, even I didn’t expect that after I self-destructed my Origin, my strength would increase by twice as much. Since it was a life-and-death battle, both sides were willing to take risks and refused to back down. Great Master Qingxiao’s palm strike shattered my Dantian, completely scattering my remaining Origin’s source and pierced through me from front to back, with my organs melting at the same time!”

“But I…at the same time as I suffered the blow, was also able to shatter Great Master Qingxiao’s soul sea and Origin of Dantian…causing him to die on the spot!”

A look of desolation appeared in Peng Wanli’s eyes.

“If I had to say, Great Master Qingxiao and I…although we weren’t best friends, we did share the journey of cultivation, deeply sympathizing with each other. But facing a territory battle between the two races, there was no room to hold back… ”

Feng Yin and Cat Emperor sighed regretfully in unison.

If one day the Demon Tribe and humans were to wage a war like before, what would we do?

“This is how my Origin was severely damaged.”

“Great Master Qingxiao destroyed my last hope of recovery, and I, in turn, cut off his life.”

“I still remember his last words were… ‘I die a worthy death, don’t avenge me.'”
