Chapter 1258 - 1258: Special Challenge Rules

"What's going on here?"

"What just happened?"

Three-Eyed Tiger was spitting blood and feeling puzzled.

Brother Cheng, although unsure of the situation himself, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are you up to? Weren't you supposed to show off? Why spit a couple of pounds of blood first as a formality?"

"If things aren't working out, why don't I just take over?"

Yan Yi and Fan Lei Daoist Venerable on the side couldn't find it amusing.

Three-Eyed Tiger, a proper Supreme, got hurt before the fight even started; it's simply too bizarre.

They both stared intently at the token held by the elder.

"It's because of that strange secret treasure."

"That secret treasure just flashed once!"

Hearing this, the elder opposite became complacent, laughing heartily.

"You're all new here, aren't you?"

"Hahaha, this old man loves dealing with you clueless turtles."

"I get to score some benefits every time."

Without waiting for Three-Eyed Tiger to lose it, he aimed the token at Fan Lei Daoist Venerable.

"I want to challenge you!"

With his words, a red beam flashed briefly at the blue-and-white top of the token.

As if some ceremony was fulfilled.

Fan Lei Daoist Venerable almost doubted his ears.

A Supreme, confidently challenging him?

Even though this is the unfamiliar Land of Dao Extinction, surely he's not at that point yet?

He immediately stepped forward.

"You want to challenge me, then come on!"

After speaking, he summoned his weapon and leaped forward.

In the next moment, he screamed.

"What's going on?"

"Why can't I perceive any Origin Rules?"

His Immortal Power and Divine Soul were normal, but a Daoist Venerable unable to perceive Origin would see his combat capability drop by over eighty percent.

Not only couldn't he throw Origin Nuclear Bombs directly, but he couldn't summon the Law Space based on the Rules either.

Under these circumstances, their combat power wouldn't match a normal Supreme.

Ironically, the elder opposite instantly deployed three streams of Origin.

Fan Lei Daoist Venerable's face turned green.

"No!"

"That's impossible!"

The elder opposite grinned broadly, gleefully saying,

"Turtle, let grandpa pamper you properly!"

With that, he drove the three streams of Origin, attacking.

In an instant, Fan Lei Daoist Venerable was beaten black and blue.

Luckily, his Daoist Venerable level Immortal Power and Divine Soul were still intact, otherwise, he'd get wiped out in less than three seconds.

Even so, he was struggling massively, continuously retreating.

Without Origin and Law Space, his Immortal Technique attacks couldn't withstand the opponent's Origin.

Three-Eyed Tiger on the side clicked his tongue in wonder, forgetting to wipe the blood from his mouth.

"Wow, Brother Fan Lei, what are you doing?"

"Purposely suppressing your power to fight a Supreme?"

"Then intentionally letting someone bully you?"

He laughed gloatingly.

"Couldn't tell you had such a peculiar fetish."

"My bad, my bad..."

Frustrated enough to choke, Fan Lei Daoist Venerable nearly spat blood from anger.

If he could unleash all his strength, would he let the elder get cocky?

Casually, he could make that elder soil himself, alright?

"You're so great, then come on!"

He was also tired of getting beaten.

No matter how he flew, he was forever unable to sense the Origin Rules around.

So this remark was somewhat asking for help.

Three-Eyed Tiger, who wanted to beat up that elder, didn't refuse.

"Then watch grandpa handle him!"

With that, he charged at the elder.

But next moment, something unexpected happened again.

Three-Eyed Tiger went straight through the elder, as if passing through an illusion.

"His token created some kind of isolated special space."

Yan Yi observed the most closely.

"We can see it, but can't interfere in their fight."

"Is something like that even possible?"

Three-Eyed Tiger rubbed his chin, feeling a bit miffed.

"What on earth is that token?"

"At this rate, Brother Fan Lei's going to be finished, no?"

He wasn't on the same team as Fan Lei Daoist Venerable, so it didn't matter whether he was finished, but the elder's lack of skill and cockiness was infuriating.

Opposite, the elder commanded the Origin, beating up Fan Lei Daoist Venerable.

With Fan Lei sustaining injuries in several places.

Thankfully, the elder's Origin wasn't powerful, and Fan Lei's Daoist Venerable level Immortal Body was quite resilient.

Though at this pace, Fan Lei's defeat was only a matter of time.

"Don't you other turtles run, you'll be next, grandpa will treat you well!"

Seeing the elder so smug, Brother Cheng couldn't help squinting.

He activated the Mind Reading Technique too, while at it.

"What's your token do?"

The elder laughing triumphantly amidst the fight: "You should take your questions underground with you..."

He didn't intend to disclose the token's effects.

But unfortunately, facing the Mind Reading Technique, he couldn't hide any secrets.

After posing the question, naturally a series of fragments appeared in the elder's mind.

Sect Leader Jiang easily figured out the truth.

This place was called Duan Yang Dao, and that token was known as a Challenge Order, not some precious secret treasure.

Much like in Blood Demon Dao where killing has rewards, Duan Yang Dao has special rules.

However, these neighboring places have entirely opposite rules.

In Duan Yang Dao, killing indiscriminately comes with severe consequences.

Especially when there's a huge power gap, where the strong kill the weak, they might even die on the spot themselves.

And to resolve disputes, one needs to use a Challenge Order.

When one challenges another, the challenge is enforced.

If the opponent doesn't respond in three minutes, they're penalized, hence why Three-Eyed Tiger suddenly spat blood earlier.

He got carried away and didn't answer promptly.

Though Fan Lei Daoist Venerable did respond, sadly he didn't possess a Challenge Order himself.

Without the token, he couldn't bring Power of Origin into the Challenge Space, lacking any tool to connect with outside.

Thus, he's being beaten down.

In Duan Yang Dao, a Challenge Order is a common item, just street goods, nothing unusual.

Locals are familiar with the challenge rules.

But newcomers often don't know these intricacies, making them easy prey.

This elder, constantly prowling the borders, specializes in preying on outsider rookies, a crafty veteran.

Knowing the rules, he's bold enough to bully Daoist Venerables as a Supreme.

If he kills them in a challenge, just like in Blood Demon Dao, he'd gain special Rule Enlightenment based on the opponent's main cultivated rule.

For this reason, although gratuitous killing is forbidden, this supposedly peaceful Duan Yang Dao is instead rife with struggles.

But their way of fighting is by formally challenging others.

It even looks rather proper on the surface.

Having understood all this, Brother Cheng finally grasped why the elder was acting so oddly.

And at this point, Fan Lei Daoist Venerable within, beaten to a shambles, also angrily whipped out a cigarette.
