Chapter 2439 - 2407: The Match Must Be Fair!

Chapter 2439: Chapter 2407: The Match Must Be Fair!

The cultivators who have come here are not weak.

The weakest are also experts of the Soul Realm, because without such cultivation to support oneself in the Dreamfall Battlefield’s Molting Dream Mountain, even with the protection of strong practitioners, one cannot last long.

Therefore, the level set for this duel was quite high from the beginning; unless you’re a Soul Realm expert, you don’t even qualify to watch.

Similarly, if you’re not at this level, even witnessing the battle between Dao Saints does not benefit you much and might even affect your Dao Heart, hindering further progress in cultivation.

The Soul Realm is a threshold.

Li Chen looked around at the people with little expression on his face.

Perhaps he had guessed this scene from the beginning. Li Chen understood the thoughts of Tao Wu and others.

In such a battle, with so many people watching, if they lose, with so many strong practitioners observing, even if they want to renege, they simply can’t.

"Renege?"

Li Chen tugged at the corner of his mouth and glanced at Tao Wu and the others not far away.

Clearly, he was the latest to arrive; by this time, Tao Wu and the others had already been there for a while.

What made Li Chen tense was that on Tao Wu’s side, there was indeed an old man whose face was as rigid as a reef, sitting expressionlessly with closed eyes.

Beside him, the Dark Water Dao Saint stood respectfully.

Clearly, this old man was the Mie Xing Dao Saint referred to by Wusheng earlier.

Even though the old man just sat there without emitting any aura, he still gave Li Chen an inexplicable pressure.

This guy is really strong!

Too strong!

It should be known that Li Chen’s current Divine Soul cultivation had officially reached a late Palm Source Realm level, but from the perspective of the Divine Soul, he sensed that this old man’s Divine Soul was not at all weaker than his.

As for physical cultivation, now Li Chen was nothing more than rubbish in front of this old man.

"It’s indeed a bit troublesome." Li Chen couldn’t help but feel a headache. If it were still the previous lineup of Tao Wu and others, they might have a fighting chance, but suddenly facing such an old monster, he felt a bit powerless.

Li Chen knew very well that after reaching the Palm Realm, the gap between every minor realm was as wide as heaven and earth.

With this old man’s late Palm Source Realm cultivation, even if their side combined forces, they probably wouldn’t be a match.

On this point, Li Chen and Leiyang share the same view.

"What should we do?" Li Chen bared his teeth, with no strategy in mind, but his face displayed a deep, mysterious smile.

"Oh, you finally arrived? I thought you were planning to avoid the battle and just run away." The Solitary Elder Taoist Saint chuckled in a sinister, low voice.

Li Chen looked seriously at the Solitary Elder Taoist Saint: "My fellow Daoist, please don’t speak in this tone, be yourself."

"Do you know, speaking like that really doesn’t match your style at all? In my hometown, this is generally called a dog unable to spit out ivory."

The Solitary Elder Taoist Saint’s face darkened. This little brat was really sharp-tongued, capable of nearly infuriating him to death with just a few words.

But in the current situation, feeling certain of victory, the Solitary Elder Taoist Saint didn’t want to endure any longer and was about to lash out when Tao Wu Dao Saint raised his hand to stop him.

"Verbal disputes are meaningless," Tao Wu Dao Saint said calmly, "He won’t be smug for long."

The Solitary Elder Taoist Saint nodded, regaining his composure.

When looking at Li Chen again, he said nothing more.

Li Chen chuckled and then shook his head, "Actually, I don’t want to engage in a war of words. Now that everyone is here, let’s mark our path."

"Alright!" Tao Wu Dao Saint’s face flashed a deep look, then returned to a smile, "Since Secular Taoist Friend is so straightforward, let’s not waste words either."

"Because the numbers on both sides for this duel are not balanced, we didn’t intend to fight separately but directly; each side sends out one person for a carwheel battle, and the last one standing is the winner. How about that?" Tao Wu Dao Saint asked with a face of thoughtful expression.

"That’s a really nice suggestion," Li Chen said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

With the Mie Xing Dao Saint at a late Palm Realm level, if they fought directly as a group, there might be hope, but a carwheel battle? That’s essentially sending themselves to their doom, one by one!

"I also think it’s quite good!" Said Lan Gang Dao Saint slowly, another Dao Saint from Tao Wu’s side.

"Then it’s settled." Said Qiu Shui Dao Saint, another female Dao Saint from Tao Wu’s camp.

Li Chen’s face darkened. His sarcastic comment was taken seriously by these guys. When these old bastards decide to be shameless, they can certainly outperform anyone.

"But, in this way, with Tao Wu Dao Saint having a late Palm Realm expert like Mie Xing Dao Saint on his side, and being one person more than Leiyang Dao Saint’s side, wouldn’t it be somewhat unfair?" Someone couldn’t help but murmur softly.

People present were not blind; the situation on both sides was almost glaringly clear. If it really came to a fight like this, Li Chen’s side had no chance of winning.

But with an imposing figure like Mie Xing Dao Saint, it seemed that no matter how they prepared, the result would ultimately be a loss.

Not just one or two people, many present started discussing.

They were here to witness the strong fight among Dao Saints, not a one-sided battle.

Hearing the discussions around him, Tao Wu Dao Saint frowned. Being a person who valued face, he didn’t appreciate such a reputation.

Moreover, having put effort into organizing this grand battle, if Mie Xing Dao Saint took all the glory, even if he obtained the treasures from the white-haired man, he wouldn’t be too happy.

People naturally have a competitive mindset. Even though they were bound to win, the final reward still had to be shared, and if he exerted the most effort but someone else received the fame and benefits, it was unbearable.

"Even though this competition is the simplest and most convenient, it seems, Secular Taoist Friend, that you have other suggestions?" Tao Wu Dao Saint smiled amicably, looking at Li Chen.

"Would you let us choose?" Li Chen asked with surprise.

As for Li Chen’s side, the others were also puzzled, not understanding why Tao Wu would forgo such a surefire method to crush them.

"Of course, this duel is meant to be fair." Tao Wu stated righteously.

"In that case..." Li Chen examined Tao Wu Dao Saint’s group carefully, then glanced at his own side, especially pausing on the Destruction Law Saint Mo Ying and Qingqiu, who had deliberately transformed into a youthful state.

"How about we compete to see who’s more handsome?"
