Chapter 352: Chapter 246: Requesting a Fight to the Death! _2

"If you wish to fight to the death again, please leave the Three Auxiliaries of Chang’an and find your own place. Regardless of life or death, all should be unrelated to The Night Traveler’s Bureau and the Imperial Court!"

"Sixth, if the parties involved in the duel do not adhere to one of these rules, regardless of their background, The Night Traveler’s Bureau will take them all down. Li Ping’an of Mount Longhu and Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge, have you both heard this clearly?"

Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen smiled triumphantly:

"Of course, I heard it clearly! Hahahaha!"

Naturally, Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen could easily take down Li Ping’an!

"Although Li Ping’an is formidable, facing Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen, isn’t this seeking death?"

"After all, Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen is a generation’s grandmaster, a sect leader with unfathomable strength. Li Ping’an is truly seeking death!"

"Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen isn’t even afraid of the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, so why would he fear Li Ping’an?"

"But then again, Li Ping’an is no ordinary person either!"

"Yes, he alone matched both Xie Wenren and the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva in battle without falling behind, let alone Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen!"

"Li Ping’an, too, could have resolved this through peace instead of stirring up such a situation!"

"You also don’t think it through; if you had the Immortal Slaying Sword in your hand, would you willingly give it up? Especially since Li Ping’an has the ability to protect it!"

"But can Li Ping’an still be a match for Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen?"

"I don’t know about that, but the book Li Ping’an previously hid in his chest was formidable, capable of blocking attacks from all of us, which makes Li Ping’an extraordinary!"

"Indeed, indeed, Li Ping’an is extraordinarily formidable, and so is that book; I reckon he must have some other incredible Magical Treasure!"

"Right, right, right, probably all the Magical Treasures on him were snatched, hahaha!"

Those cultivators who were there to watch the drama whispered cautiously among themselves.

"Damn it! If we don’t kill this old fart today, it’ll never end!"

Li Ping’an had previously fought Xie Wenren near the Fallen Dragon Pit and knew the rules of dueling. Once one party requests a duel, the other cannot refuse.

So Li Ping’an hardened his heart and decided to duel with Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen since he had the Book of the Earth and the Great Sage Life-Protecting Talisman, so death was definitely not a concern!

With these two trump cards, Li Ping’an stepped forward to exchange blows with Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen.

"Hold on! It’s not your turn yet when I’m here."

The Ghost Taoist stopped Li Ping’an and then stepped forward, shouting at Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan:

"I want to fight to the death with Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen!"

"What?"

Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan thought he must have misheard. Though he knew the Ghost Taoist wanted to help Li Ping’an, he patiently explained:

"Ghost Taoist, everything follows a sequence. I’d like to help Li Ping’an too, but there’s no helping it; rules are rules. You are a step late compared to Sect Master Zhuge!"

Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen arrogantly pointed at the Ghost Taoist and said provocatively:

"Ghost Taoist, don’t rush. After I kill Li Ping’an and take back the Immortal Slaying Sword, I can fight with you!"

"Zhuge you little brat!"

The Ghost Taoist immediately snapped angrily:

"You’ve really grown up, haven’t you? Remember how you were more useless than Xie Wenren when you first joined the Flame Cloud Sect? You were so scared when you saw me that you almost peed your pants. So many years have passed, and now you have the guts to challenge me?"

Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen’s face reddened:

"Talking about the past is useless, let’s talk about now. Forget Li Ping’an; even if both of you come at me, I can handle you together!"

"You beast! Looking for death!"

This statement enraged the Ghost Taoist, and he was about to confront Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen in a duel, but he was stopped by Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan, Heavenly Mist Sect Leader Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu and other Taoist elites.

Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan spoke anxiously:

"Ghost Taoist, this is Chang’an, you must abide by the rules!"

The Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, Taishi Bao, and Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, along with Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, and other eminent figures from the Taoist sect also tauntingly said:

"Ghost Taoist, if you plan to trouble Sect Master Zhuge, we will not sit idly by!"

"Exactly, you are a heretical demon, a murderous devil whose evil deeds are numerous! If you dare fight with the righteous, we will not overlook it!"

"Ghost Taoist, we have no time to deal with you today, don’t court death yourself!"

"Ghost Taoist, if you dare to act, we will have to exorcise demons and defend the Dao today!"

"Ghost Taoist, who do you think you are? If you were the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, we might be afraid! But you? Haha, forget about it!"

"Ghost Taoist, don’t ruin your centuries of Dao practice because of Li Ping’an! We won’t be merciful to you!"

"Ghost Taoist..."

Facing threats and intimidation from the Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, Taishi Bao, and Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, along with Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi, the Ghost Taoist was not the least bit frightened and said:

"You children! Had I known you were so eager to die, I would have killed you all back then!"

"Didn’t expect you all to have learned some skills and dare to challenge me? Fine!"

"So, you want to fight me? You don’t think the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva is better than me, do you?"

"It’s been many years since there was bloodshed, so today I will drench all the Taoist Sects under heaven in blood, to avoid having to deal with beings who don’t know whether they’re dead or alive like you in the future!"

The Ghost Taoist was about to take on Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Mo Liqi, Taishi Bao, Xianyu Zixuan, Shangguan Hongzhang, He Zudao, and Dan Chenzi, along with other leading figures of the Taoist sect, when suddenly,

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, immediately intervened, saying:

"Li Ping’an, you better persuade the Ghost Taoist! If he acts, I’ll be forced to act too! After all, he’s killed people from my Immeasurable Sect before!"

Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan also immediately stepped in to stop him, saying:

"Ghost Taoist, if you act, The Night Traveler’s Bureau will have to take you in! You are one of the Imperial Court’s wanted criminals, just as dangerous as the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, and if it weren’t for the lack of news of your killings over the years, I would have arrested you long ago!"

"Old fool!"

Li Ping’an, not wanting to get the seemingly malevolent but actually kind-hearted Ghost Taoist involved, soothingly placed his hand on the Ghost Taoist’s shoulder and said:

"Ghost Taoist, don’t worry about me. I won’t die! Even the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva didn’t think to seal me, let alone him?"

"What do you know?"

The Ghost Taoist hastily said:

"That’s because the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva didn’t use his full strength, and besides, King Tianran, The World’s Foremost Talented King, was helping you, otherwise you would have been killed by the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva long ago!"

"I alone should bear the consequences of my actions! Today, it’s up to me!"

After making his assertive statement, Li Ping’an then pushed aside the Ghost Taoist and the Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing.

"Young Master Li, let it be?"

Zixia, who had been quietly watching, suddenly stepped forward and pleaded with Li Ping’an:

"You have already faced several life-and-death situations today. I don’t want you to go through it again!"

"How can I grow if I don’t face life and death?"

Li Ping’an tenderly said to Zixia:

"How can I become strong if I don’t face life and death? How can I protect you if I’m not strong? The Immortal Slaying Sword is mine!"

After speaking, Li Ping’an confidently walked towards Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect.

"All right! Since both parties have agreed to the rules of combat, then you two must fight within the designated area and abide by the rules of combat!"
