Chapter 2884 - 2888: Gambling with Life!

"My cultivation level may not be impressive, but it’s enough to kill these old dogs!"

Ling Xiao stood in front of Chen Cangmang, his voice cold and detached.

In that instant, the air inside the great hall seemed to freeze.

The atmosphere became extremely heavy.

Elder Fu’s face turned pale with fright, and he scolded Ling Xiao.

However, Chen Cangmang stopped him.

"Tuo Ba Ling’s intent is the same as mine. Elder Fu, just stand aside."

Chen Cangmang didn’t know how strong Ling Xiao really was, but for some reason, he felt a peculiar trust towards this unfamiliar yet somehow familiar middle-aged Martial Artist.

Of course, he was gambling as well.

Rather than letting the throne fall into the hands of Wise King Edward Chen Endless, he’d rather bet on a clear sky.

On Chen Canglan’s side, everyone’s expressions were quite unpleasant.

From the surface, Ling Xiao’s cultivation level seemed to be no more than the late stage of the First Turn Yinyang Realm Twelfth Layer Hell.

Indeed, it was so.

With such cultivation, how can he be so brazen? Any of the Three Elders of Chen Dynasty could easily annihilate him.

"Since that’s the case, this old man is curious to see what ability you possess to dare act so recklessly within the Royal Palace!"

Elder Feng stood up, brimming with aggression.

A terrifying murderous aura pressed straight towards Ling Xiao and the others.

Elder Fu felt his body trembling slightly, but Chen Cangmang discovered that in front of him, there seemed to be a wall that completely blocked the dreadful aura.

Standing there, he felt no danger at all.

"Elder Feng, finally you couldn’t hold back, huh? Chen Canglan and Chen Cangmang are both princes of the Chen Dynasty, yet you have preferential treatment. You merely dread Chen Canglan’s power.

Today, I’ll show you what true strength is, Tuo Ba Ling!"

Ling Xiao stared directly at Elder Feng without any fear.

He came to Thunder City for revenge, to utterly destroy the Chen Royal Family, and also acquire the You Spirit Remnant Soul.

If he could use the platform provided by the Seventh Prince Chen Cangmang to exterminate the Three Elders of Chen Dynasty, so much the better.

"Boy, if you weren’t someone invited by Little Seven, I’d kill you right now!"

Elder Feng said coldly, "At such a young age, you don’t know how to respect your elders.

If you want to compete with me, why not set a wager?"

"What do you want to wager?"

Ling Xiao looked at Elder Feng indifferently and asked. In fact, even if Elder Feng hadn’t suggested it, he would have.

Having the other party propose it favored his plan more.

"Simple!"

Elder Feng sneered, "If I lose, I’ll forgive you for disrespecting me!

If you lose, Little Seven must support Crown Prince Wise King ascending to the throne! How about it?"

Ling Xiao scornfully curled his lips into a cold smile, looking at Elder Feng, "You old dog, always scheming in the shadows, disregarding people’s livelihood. What right do you have to compare with the Seventh Prince?

You want to forgive my disrespect?

Utterly laughable, do you even have that right?"

Without giving Elder Feng a chance to retort, Ling Xiao continued, "Moreover, how can the position of king be casually wagered?

This concerns the lives of the people under heaven!

You may see them as ants, but the Seventh Prince won’t!"

Of course, these words were merely Ling Xiao’s excuse. He wasn’t that great.

He simply wanted to propose his own wager!

"If Elder Feng truly wants to wager, then let’s bet our lives!

This battle, no need for a duel, can be a battle for life and death!

No matter who kills whom, they shall not trouble the other afterward!"

Suddenly, Ling Xiao tossed a round Crystal Ball and then enveloped it with a Barrier Martial Soul.

"Everyone in the Chen Dynasty can see everything that happens here.

If you agree and then go back on your word, what the consequences are, Elder Feng, you should be clear."

Ling Xiao pointed at the Crystal Ball, "It’s a Magical Treasure that can transmit the scene to the depths of everyone’s mind.

Although it can only be used once, it’ll suffice for today."

Ling Xiao’s words were not only overbearing but also filled with killing intent.

Simultaneously, they revealed his resolve this time.

"Do you dare to wager, old man?"

Ling Xiao continued to keep his hands behind his back, gazing coldly at Elder Feng with a mocking smile in his eyes.

His words struck the hearts of everyone like a thunderbolt.

At almost the same time, the entire populace of the Chen Dynasty received the same signal.

With closed eyes, they could see everything happening in the great hall.

Who exactly is this guy?

How can he be so outrageously domineering?

Does he truly have the confidence to wager life and death with Elder Feng of the Chen Dynasty?

However, they didn’t know that two out of the Five Elders of Chen Dynasty had already died because of Ling Xiao.

Among the remaining three, besides the top-ranked Elder Cang,

Ling Xiao paid no heed to the other two.

Elder Feng’s strength was only slightly above Old Fire’s, and Ling Xiao’s current power was far stronger than when he killed Old Fire, killing him would be no big deal.

As for Elder Jian, he was slightly stronger.

But Ling Xiao had confidence he could enhance his strength in battle.

And even if he doesn’t, by revealing some trump cards, killing Elder Jian wouldn’t be difficult.

"Crazy, truly crazy! Your Highness, you must not follow this madman!"

Elder Fu earnestly advised Chen Cangmang to no avail.

However, Chen Cangmang remained unmoved.

"Elder Fu, I believe in him, can you believe in me?"

Chen Cangmang knew how strong Elder Feng was. He bet on Ling Xiao being more terrifying than Elder Feng.

The faces of those from Chen Canglan’s camp grew uglier.

They stared icily at Ling Xiao.

Claiming to be Tuo Ba Ling, although his real name was unknown, he dared to challenge Elder Feng to a duel.

He really took himself too seriously.

Especially Elder Feng’s expression, which turned hideously grim.

He was a top-tier expert at the peak of the First Turn Yinyang Realm Twelfth Layer Hell cultivation level.

Ranked third among the Five Elders of Chen Dynasty.

Now, challenged so brazenly by a junior.

In the Chen Dynasty, the experts could be counted on one’s fingers, and he couldn’t believe Ling Xiao, with lower cultivation, could kill him.

Though he knew that super geniuses possessed the ability to challenge above their level.

But the one before him, Tuo Ba Ling, didn’t show any signs of a super genius.

He appeared completely as an arrogant middle-aged Martial Artist.

Thinking of this, Elder Feng’s eyes flickered with determination.

Want a battle of life and death?

Fine!

I shall fulfill your wish!

Initially worried that killing you here would let others mock me.

But with this wager of life, I shall go along with it just fine.

"His Highness the Wise King, this child insists on being so insolent; if I do not battle him, it will disgrace the Royal Family’s dignity."

Elder Feng turned to Chen Canglan.

"I agree to the wager of life."

Chen Canglan’s lips curled into a sinister smile.

He was intrigued by this middle-aged Martial Artist claiming to be Tuo Ba Ling, unsure if he was truly foolish or had other motives.

This battle with Elder Feng would soon provide him with the answer.
