Chapter 1096 : Come and Meet Your Death!
“Fine, let me learn a lesson or two from this... small captain!” Duan Chong Feng’s entire face was black.
He recognized Solitary Eagle, one of the ‘Eight Great Masters’. If this person said that he was ‘old’ or ‘with age’, it was still passable, but to have the audacity to call himself old with a measly ninety years of age, before him, someone who had already lived for almost 900 years! How dare he!
“Zhang Da Niu! You go! Serve our guest from afar properly! Pay careful attention, don’t throw the face of our Manor Lord Jun.” Solitary Eagle commanded, pointing to a burly man.
Then, something everyone did not expected happened...
No one had imagined that this Small Captain ‘Zhang Da Niu’ would reply unwillingly. “Old Falcon, are you kidding me? I’m a small captain, and you want me to step up in dealing with someone like this? How can I have footing before the others in the future, ah...”
Duan Chong Feng rolled his eyes hearing this, barely passing out from anger.
‘I’m a small captain’... how big of a deal did you think you were, ah? Did you think you are some official?
“Shut up! Shut up now! They’re our guests!” Solitary Eagle chided angrily. “How can you be this idiotic! Letting an idiot like you go is already giving you a lot of face! You damned thing! Don’t tell me you need your Big Captain to personally come forth for someone like this? Are you trying to make this old fellow here wrack his brains to find another fellow more idiotic than you to go forth?!”
Everyone almost fell to the ground... this reply was truly full of character, too classic....
And this small captain, his name ‘Zhang Da Niu’ 1 was truly too jubilant...
This ‘idiot’ was sufficient enough for dealing with a third level Saint Emperor of the Elusive World of Immortals from one of the three Holy Lands!
But what they did not know was that this small captain’s real name was really Zhang Da Niu!
In fact, all the members of the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer were related to the Jun Family. They were all soldiers who had fought their way out together on the battlefield. This person was no exception. He came from a poor family, and his parents were illiterate, so they couldn’t think of any good names. So they named him Zhang Da Niu...
“I know I am not clever, I also admit that I’m an idiot as you say, but I’m still a small captain after all. My status is very high too...” That Small Captain Zhang Da Niu was still grumbling, as if feeling like this entire matter was beneath his status...
“Um... I don’t care if you are Zhang Da Niu or Zhang Xiao Niu 1 , hurry up come up and meet your death!” Duan Chong Feng was so angered that he was about to vomit blood...
“En? Zhang Xiao Niu is my younger brother; he didn’t join the army and is farming back home. He also doesn’t know Xuan skills, what are you being so arrogant about...” Zhang Da Niu looked at Duan Chong Feng unwillingly. “You’re a third level Saint Emperor, why are you so crude in your speech... Oh, I see, you’re the same as me. We’re both middle-tiers, that is still not too bad... let me ask you, what is your position?”
“What is my position?” Duan Chong Feng was so angry he felt giddy. Saint Emperors in the three Holy Lands only had to focus on cultivation. What positions did they have? Who dared to pin a position on a Saint Emperor?! They were all desperately trying to worship one!
“I am the Fifth Small Captain of the Security Troops of the Evil Monarch Manor’s Peripheries, Zhang Da Niu!” Zhang Da Niu looked down condescendingly at Duan Chong Feng. “My vice-captain is a third level Saint Emperor, I have another four second level Saint Emperors, six first level Saint Emperors, eight fourth level Saints! Including myself, there are twenty of us! Our duty is to watch over the house for Evil Monarch Manor. The entire area from Tian Nan to Tian Xiang is under my charge!”
Zhang Da Niu gleefully introduced himself. “In other words, if this small captain goes out, I’ll be considered a regional general that governs the area!” Then, he looked at Duan Chong Feng from the corner of his eyes and said, “Actually I did not wish to step forth; in the past, if we met someone like you, it would be the underlings that would settle you... Making me deal with it personally is truly a little... a little...”
Then he furrowed his brows, as if he couldn’t think of a suitable description. After wrecking his head for a while, he clapped his hands and exclaimed, “Using a knife for killing chickens when you are trying to kill an ox!”
Using a knife for killing chickens when you were trying to kill an ox? There was such a proverb?
Everyone clutched onto their bellies; this Zhang Da Niu who messed up in his proverbs even declared himself as a regional governor...
But no one really dared to laugh out loud!
This person may not have much education, and his brains may even be a little dimwitted, but he had the cultivation of a solid third level Saint Emperor! If he walked about outside, all the Emperors in the world would be crying and clambering to curry favor with him. It was even possible for him to be made Taishang Huang 1 ! Acknowledging a third level Saint Emperor as their father, who would give a sh*t about who their biological father was!
But a third level middle tier Saint Emperor like him was only one of the small captains of security in the Evil Monarch Manor. And there were fourteen more like this in the Evil Monarch Manor! And the weakest under them were all Saints...
This strength was too shocking...
Too incomprehensible!
“Come and meet your death!”
In a burst of fury, Duan Chong Feng shot out, his white figure vanished from the hall.
Seeing that the opponent has already gone out, Zhang Da Niu’s face was full of reluctance, feeling as if it were a degrading thing for his status. But he still stepped out with broad strides. Instantly, they could hear booming sounds coming from the outside. Clearly both parties had already begun to exchange blows.
They were all astonished!
This was very much beyond their expectations. In a battle between Saint Emperors, it was very rare for it to proceed straight into combat. Most of the time, it would be a showdown of their auras. The moment there was a victor, it would show who was superior. Even if it boiled down to fight, it was usually at the end. After all, Saint Emperor experts were not common, and no force would be able to sustain the loss if there were any casualties. A situation like this right now, entering straight into battle was too hot-tempered and rare!
Everyone felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.
It was not only those from the three Holy Lands who were concerned about the battle situation. Everyone else was just slightly less pressured than those from the three Holy Lands.
Saint Emperors were towering existences to everyone who was present. There was no exception. As to a battle between experts of this level, it was even more rare to come by! To have this sort of opportunity like this come by today, how could their hearts be at ease if they did not go outside to watch? But if they went out... they were still sitting on the banquet chairs...
Plus, the two great gifts they had received from the host, everyone had a piece of that Austere Heart Orchid, and they’d already wrapped it and tucked it away using the snow silk... Were they really going to hit on the face of the host?...
The moment this thought surfaced, it completely suppressed the thoughts of going outside to watch the battle. Being seen as hitting their face is still secondary, but if the Evil Monarch Manor sees us as an enemy because of this, then will there be any good for us? We won’t die if we don’t go out to watch the battle, but offending the Evil Monarch Manor will definitely mean that there is no good end for us!
Just then, the tentage at the entrance suddenly began to part open. At the same time, the doors began to move upwards, allowing everyone to have a broad and clear view from their seats. There were also several huge, circular mirrors that were reflecting the situation in the battle, so every single thing can be seen clearly! No matter where they were fighting at, as long as they were within this huge courtyard, it was in clear view!
Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but brighten at such an elaborate design!
But Mo Wu Dao’s face instantly darkened!
The other party clearly expected this move of mine, even preparing this sort of elaborate set-ups beforehand. Following this logic, the higher ups of the Evil Monarch Manor are extremely positive towards this battle...
Xi Ruo Chen’s face also darkened. He frowned and looked at Mo Wu Dao, but he did not say anything, only mulling in his thoughts. Everything today had been extremely unfavorable!
They were trying to make use of the other party’s negligence to incite resentment from the masses and have them attack Jun Mo Xie. Yet the enemy had repeatedly used their own tricks against them. We have obviously fallen into the trap of the enemy with the ‘sparring’ this time... Things are looking dim!
With the current circumstances, we’ve fallen into a predicament where we can’t advance or retreat!
Xi Ruo Chen could confirm that if they continued to advance, they’d definitely face the sharp counterattack from the other party, and it may be even worse than the current situation.
The purpose of three Holy Lands for this trip was not to fall out with Jun Mo Xie and go into full fledged battle. After all, due to the previous repeated losses, the three Holy Lands no longer had the strength to face the War for Seizing the Heavens on their own. It could be said that if they wished to obtain victory, they must borrow the strength of the Jun Sect’s forces!
But the three Holy Lands were unwilling to acknowledge that the Evil Monarch Manor had the same supreme status as the three Holy Lands. And using force was not the way to obtain this purpose, for it would definitely result in a greater loss in forces and they may not necessarily win. Thus, Mo Wu Dao kept repeatedly picking on Jun Mo Xie’s negligence, hoping that everyone else would stand opposite the Evil Monarch Manor. If this ploy succeeded, even if it was a fact that Evil Monarch Manor had supreme forces, they would still lose that supreme status.
But the current situation was poles apart from what the three Holy Lands had expected. The one who was placed against the masses is not the Evil Monarch Manor, but the three Holy Lands!
The current battle of Saint Emperors, the Holy Land did not have any confidence of winning. If they lost another integral part of their forces due to this, it would no doubt only worsen the already dire circumstances!
But if they backed off like this... how could they accept it?
They were currently under the scrutiny of all the heroes in the world! Backing off means that the three Holy Lands would be forced to acknowledge the Evil Monarch Manor’s supreme status! And it would deal a blow to the original prestige that the three Holy Lands had originally! Their invincible and unassailable status would disappear!
If they wished to do some other tricks... they would have to be prepared to be scolded and criticized...
Besides, Mo Wu Dao was unlikely to be willing to back off... Just last night, Mo Wu Dao paid his respects to his deceased younger brother, Mo Xiao Yao! Although he did not say a single word during the entire process, both of them knew what that meant!
Xi Ruo Chen sighed internally. If Mo Wu Dao insisted on continuing on, he really had no more countermeasures. He completely had no more ideas...
