Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Soldier to Soldier, King to King!

Black Sword King, upon hearing Titan’s claim that his axe was thirsty for blood, felt his usually stern expression grow even colder.

"You must be Long Qie, the great general of Sky Net. I’ve heard of you," Black Sword King said coldly as he stared at Long Qie. With a ringing sound, he drew the long sword from his waist and pointed the blade at Long Qie’s throat. His voice was icy as he continued, "You are a fierce warrior among the ranks of Sky Net. Each time you strike, you do so with the most formidable posture, annihilating your enemies. In the Underworld, your name is virtually synonymous with Hell itself. Who knows how many people, upon merely hearing your name, become so terrified that they are beside themselves with fear."

Long Qie swung his battle axe and smirked, "It seems you know quite a bit about me. Since you’re already aware that I show no mercy when I strike, you’d better hurry up and surrender. Just bow your head and admit defeat, and I’ll spare your life."

A surge of anger began to simmer in Black Sword King’s eyes as he retorted sharply, "Long Qie, anyone who has cultivated to our level are individuals of unwavering will. How could they possibly kowtow to the enemy just because the enemy is powerful?

I am now your opponent, your enemy! Is this how you show respect for your rival? If so, you’re not fit to be a martial artist!"

"Hmm?"

Long Qie’s expression changed.

This Black Sword King’s words were sharply cutting! To accuse him of not respecting his opponents was indeed a harsh rebuke for warriors their level.

If such an accusation were to spread, it would have a significant impact on one’s reputation. Even Long Qie couldn’t take it lightly.

In response, Long Qie’s mind raced, considering his options. At last, an idea sparked in his mind, and with a sly grin, he said, "Well played, Black Sword King, you truly are no ordinary man. Your insight is beyond me, I, for one, apologize here and now."

Black Sword King was taken aback.

He had not expected Long Qie to apologize; it was an unforeseen move indeed.

But then he heard Long Qie go on, "Since you talk about showing respect to your opponent, let’s give our opponents the respect they deserve. Let’s have a fair duel: Soldier to soldier, general to general, king to king. Do you dare to accept?"

After speaking, Long Qie’s gaze became fierce as he stared intently at the group opposite him, "Or do you think you and your people simply don’t measure up to us at Sky Net, and thus you don’t dare?"

"Soldier to soldier, king to king?"

Everyone on the other side was somewhat shocked.

This was a challenge to a duel!

Each side would send out one person, and they would employ all their skills in a fight to the death against each other. Then the next pair would step forward.

Until one side was completely dead!

In the Underworld, this was a combat mode with a very long history, originating from duels fought by commanders on the battlefield during the age of cold weapons.

Back then, at the beginning of a battle between large armies, generals from each side would usually step forward and duel each other as the tens of thousands of troops watched from the sidelines.

The soldiers of the victorious general would then be buoyed with high morale, which would often lead to victory in the subsequent battle.

By proposing such a method of fighting, Long Qie was undoubtedly showing absolute confidence in the martial prowess of the Sky Net members, certain that even in individual combat, the opposing side would not stand a chance.

Black Sword King’s expression went through a series of changes.

To agree, or not to agree?

It was a difficult decision.

He hadn’t expected Long Qie to not only perfectly counter his speech but also to throw the ball back in his court, with such deep scheming!

Black Sword King glanced back at the expressions of his companions; the eight Great Vajras were all indignant, clearly thinking that Long Qie’s words were highly dismissive of them.

Others shared similar expressions.

As subordinates of Mr. Liu, most of them had rarely tasted defeat and had always been victorious, giving rise to an exceedingly proud mindset.

Facing Long Qie’s "grand declaration," they certainly couldn’t tolerate it.

The Black Sword King’s heart suddenly became clear.

He must agree!

If they rejected Long Qie’s proposal, it might deal a devastating blow to the morale of their side.

Moreover, there was another important reason, he too was eager to fight with Long Qie.

However, thinking of this, the Black Sword King let out a silent sigh. No matter what, in this verbal skirmish, he had fallen into a disadvantage, led by the nose by Long Qie, which was a failure.

"Very well, let’s do as you say. I also want to see whether this so-called Sky Net is as formidable as the legends suggest, or if it is merely an empty reputation."

The Black Sword King sneered.

Long Qie burst into hearty laughter, "Straightforward! As for whether we are merely boasting, you’ll find out soon." Then, Long Qie shouted, "Who under Sky Net wishes to fight?"

"I do!"

Immediately, the one ranked tenth among the Ten Killings stood out.

He was a Huaxia youth, only twenty-nine years old, but his whole being exuded a robust and terrifying aura.

Don’t be fooled by his youth; he was already an old hand at Sky Net, having followed Xiao Zheng into battle since his teenage years.

His talent could be said to be terrifying, having grown to the level of the Ten Killings in a short time, with boundless potential for the future.

Long Qie chuckled, "Black Sword King, you must have investigated Sky Net, so you know who this person is, right? The tenth among the Ten Killings! Now, as the saying goes, soldier to soldier, general to general, whom will you send out?"

The Black Sword King coldly said, "Since you sent out the tenth of the Ten Killings, we will send the last of the Jingang, the Immortal Crane King!"

Having said that, he commanded coldly, "Immortal Crane King, are you willing to fight?"

From among the crowd behind the Black Sword King, a tall, thin, particularly long-necked middle-aged man stepped forward, chuckling, "Of course, I am willing."

As the Immortal Crane King spoke, he looked at the Ten Killings number ten, "I’m just afraid that I might accidentally kill this youngster with a heavy hand later."

Hearing this, the tenth of the Ten Killings coldly responded, "Anyone can talk big, but in the end, skill is proven by the hand, not the mouth!"

The two looked at each other eye to eye, each with a fierce determination, radiating lethal intent!

Long Qie said, "Let’s all step back and leave them a battlefield."

Immediately, everyone retreated.

Mr. Liu also waved his hand, and the people behind him also stepped back a distance.

In an instant, on the wide road, only the tenth of the Ten Killings and the Immortal Crane King were left, with countless gazes fixed upon them.

Who would win and who would lose in this battle?

Everyone’s hearts were filled with anticipation.

Long Qie looked at the Black Sword King from afar, "Can the battle start now?"

The Black Sword King nodded, "It can."

Long Qie grinned, "Then I declare now. The battle—begins!"

As Long Qie’s shout thundered, sharp glances burst forth from the eyes of both the tenth of the Ten Killings and the Immortal Crane King.
