Chapter 1859: Chapter 1859: No Need for That!
Interrupting Emperor End and invisibly stopping him was the leader of the Dragonsmith Clan, ’Emperor Mountain’. He did not pay attention to Emperor End’s questioning gaze.
His eyes first fell upon Wyatt Barnes, "Junior House Master, are you sure you want a life-and-death battle with Emperor End? This is not a joke... Once a life-and-death battle begins, it ends only with one party’s demise! At that time, even if you are the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, Emperor End will not have any scruples over this."
"Have you... really thought it through?"
Emperor Mountain asked.
"What? Does Clan Chief Emperor Mountain think I’m joking?"
Upon hearing Emperor Mountain’s words, Wyatt Barnes squinted his eyes slightly and asked calmly.
"I just wanted to remind the Junior House Master."
Emperor Mountain said.
"Then thank you, Clan Chief Emperor Mountain, for your concern... However, I still say the same thing, for today’s five-year pact, let’s establish a Life and Death Contract for a life-and-death battle! If Emperor End dares not, if the Dragonsmith Clan dares not, concede quickly! I’m still in a rush to soak in your Dragon Washing Pool in your Holy Land of the Dragonsmith Clan..."
As he spoke later, Wyatt Barnes became somewhat impatient.
To soak in the Holy Land’s ’Dragon Washing Pool’?
Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, the Dragonsmith Clan members present were almost incensed to the point of vomiting blood. This remark by Wyatt Barnes undoubtedly desecrates their Holy Land!
For a moment, the members of the Dragonsmith Clan at the scene glared angrily at Wyatt Barnes.
"Accept it!"
"Accept it! A life-and-death battle, then a life-and-death battle!"
...
Out of indignation, many members of the Dragonsmith Clan spoke successively, supporting Emperor End in agreeing to Wyatt Barnes’ challenge for a life-and-death battle.
This anger, they could not tolerate!
Meanwhile, the other members present from other potential third-rate powers were now a bit stunned, never expecting the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds to be so arrogant, seemingly not taking the Dragonsmith Clan into account at all.
The two Vice Leaders of Shadow Mountain’s black market exchanged glances, and the Leader ’Dugu’ looked at Wyatt Barnes with a bit more admiration in his eyes.
"Wyatt..."
Lanni Barnes appeared to gaze calmly at Wyatt Barnes, but his heart was not at peace.
Augustine Landon and Withered felt much the same.
Honestly, they were not optimistic about Wyatt Barnes, but the current situation was beyond their control.
"Clan Chief!"
Emperor End looked at Emperor Mountain; Wyatt Barnes’ ’arrogance’ was unbearable for him.
But now, it was no longer up to him to agree at will. The Clan Chief had already intervened, and without the Clan Chief’s permission, no matter how angry he was, he dared not fight without consent.
"It seems the Junior House Master is very confident."
Emperor Mountain still did not pay attention to Emperor End; his gaze remained fixed on Wyatt Barnes.
And almost the instant Emperor Mountain’s voice fell, a powerful Divine Sense swept towards Wyatt Barnes like a torrent, enveloping him.
Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes felt completely laid bare!
"Examining my cultivation?"
After knowing Emperor Mountain’s intention, Wyatt Barnes not only did not get angry but was amused.
He could confidently expect that after Emperor Mountain probed his level of cultivation, he would never doubt that Wyatt Barnes could kill Emperor End.
His cultivation was only an insignificant ’Great Saint Realm’ in front of Emperor End.
No matter how cautious Emperor Mountain was, it was impossible to believe that a martial artist of the Great Saint Realm could contend against Emperor End.
"Emperor Mountain, you are overstepping!"
As soon as Emperor Mountain’s Divine Sense enveloped Wyatt Barnes to probe his cultivation, Lanni Barnes became furious. A more vast Divine Sense swept from his body, fiercely colliding with Emperor Mountain’s Divine Sense.
Relative to Wyatt Barnes, Emperor Mountain’s Divine Sense was very powerful.
However, in front of Lanni Barnes’ Divine Sense, it paled in comparison. In a moment, it was shattered by Lanni Barnes’ Divine Sense.
Emperor Mountain, suffering from the backlash of his Divine Sense, naturally felt dizzy and his face turned somewhat pale.
Nevertheless, although his soul suffered some trauma, he was indifferent. Moreover, a smile appeared on his slightly pale face.
"Mid-Great Saint Realm! This Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds is merely Mid-Great Saint Realm!"
At that moment, the ’doubts’ and ’hesitations’ in Emperor Mountain’s heart were completely dispelled.
How could a mid-Great Saint Realm martial artist possibly be a match for Emperor End!
For a moment, he realized he had been overly cautious.
However, he did not regret his actions.
As the saying goes, ’Better safe than sorry!’
As the Clan Chief of the Dragonsmith Clan, he must think deeply and consider all aspects before making each decision.
Earlier, stopping Emperor End was due to the fear that Wyatt Barnes indeed had the ability to kill Emperor End!
Hence, he risked the backlash risk by letting his Divine Sense be shattered by Lanni Barnes to probe Wyatt Barnes’ cultivation... only in this way could he make the most accurate decision!
And now, he had made his decision.
"Emperor End, his cultivation level is merely ’Mid-Great Saint Realm.’"
At once, Emperor Mountain transmitted it to Emperor End, nodding to him and giving him a look of permission.
Emperor End noticed Emperor Mountain’s actions earlier, knowing he was probing Wyatt Barnes’ cultivation with Divine Sense to check the ’risk’ of a life-and-death battle with Wyatt Barnes.
"Mid-Great Saint Realm?"
However, now hearing Emperor End’s words, he couldn’t help but be stunned.
Although he had previously heard Elder Lewis mention that Wyatt Barnes’ cultivation was at most in the ’late Great Saint Realm’ and might even be weaker... when he confirmed this point from Emperor End’s mouth, he couldn’t help but beam with joy in his heart!
Mid-Stage Great Saint Realm, facing him in a life-and-death battle?
This Wyatt Barnes is clearly coming to seek death!
"Wyatt Barnes, your request, I accept, and the Dragonsmith Clan accepts too!"
With an unprecedented confidence rising within, Emperor End immediately looked at Wyatt Barnes and spoke with a triumphant air.
Upon hearing Emperor End’s agreement, the group of Dragonsmith Clan members instantly erupted in excitement.
"Kill!"
"Kill him!"
...
Many young Dragonsmith Clan members shouted exultantly; they had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and the suppressed emotions in their hearts vanished at this moment.
"Mid-Stage Great Saint Realm?"
At the same time, several five-clawed Divine Dragon elders present in the Dragonsmith Clan also learned about Wyatt Barnes’ cultivation from Emperor Mountain and were all relieved.
"Has Wyatt Barnes’ brain been kicked by a donkey? With mere Mid-Stage Great Saint Realm cultivation, he dares to initiate a life-and-death battle with Emperor End!"
"I think he just has a death wish!"
...
Whether it’s Lewis, Jelly Tyler, or Zen Blood, they all think that Wyatt Barnes is doomed to die in today’s life-and-death battle!
Mid-Stage Great Saint Realm, up against Initial-Stage Earth Saint Realm.
This battle has no suspense!
"Emperor End! After killing him, take his storage ring... the Demon Sealing Monument should be in his storage ring. If you get the Demon Sealing Monument and hand it over to the Upper Realm Dragonsmith Clan, it will be a great achievement for both of us! In the future, when we reach the Upper Domain, we will surely receive special care."
Emperor Mountain transmitted his voice to Emperor End, and by the end, his tone even had a hint of excitement.
Upon hearing Emperor Mountain’s words, Emperor End’s heart sank.
He had originally thought of keeping the Demon Sealing Monument for himself after killing Wyatt Barnes.
Now it seems that’s not possible.
"Forget it... the Demon Sealing Monument is beyond my reach. As the Clan Chief said, if I obtain the Demon Sealing Monument and hand it over to the Upper Realm Dragonsmith Clan, in the future, when I reach the Upper Domain, I will surely receive special care."
With this in mind, Emperor End relaxed his heart.
Whether it’s him or Emperor Mountain, although both are five-clawed golden dragons and part of the Dragonsmith Clan’s royal family, it’s only limited to the ’Lower Domain’.
In the Dragonsmith Clan of the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Upper Domain, five-clawed Divine Dragons actually aren’t a big deal, even the five-clawed golden dragons are just equivalent in status to the common ’six-clawed Divine Dragons’.
And in the Upper Domain Dragonsmith Clan, don’t even mention six-clawed Divine Dragons; there are even ’seven-clawed Divine Dragons’!
With his status and position, he can become a Clan Chief in the Lower Domain Dragonsmith Clan, but in the Upper Domain Dragonsmith Clan, he’s nothing.
And if he can hand over the Demon Sealing Monument, everything would be different.
The strong of the Upper Domain Dragonsmith Clan, to reward him, will surely take special care of him when he reaches the Upper Domain.
To him, that would be a grand opportunity!
"Rest assured, Clan Chief... I will definitely take the Demon Sealing Monument in hand!"
Emperor End transmitted his response to Emperor Mountain.
"I believe in you."
Emperor Mountain responded with a sound; he still believed in Emperor End’s strength.
Furthermore, Emperor End’s cultivation has now broken through to the ’Initial-Stage Earth Saint Realm’, while his opponent’s cultivation is only ’Mid-Stage Great Saint Realm’. There’s an entire ’Human Saint Realm’ between them, and the latter is simply not a match for Emperor End!
"If that’s the case, let’s sign the ’Life and Death Contract’!"
As people from other quasi-third-rate powers heard Emperor End’s consent, all their gazes fell on Wyatt Barnes at the appropriate time, who then aptly spoke.
His tone remained calm, his face serene as if Mount Tai were collapsing in front of him without changing his expression!
"Alright... there’s no need for that!"
Just as Emperor End responded with a ’good’, a voice came through Emperor Mountain’s transmission, and he quickly added a sentence.
Instantly, all eyes, including Wyatt Barnes’, landed on Emperor End.
"Today’s life-and-death duel between you and me, we shall both swear the ’Thunder Punishment Vow’, determining life and death solely with our own strength... Moreover, no one else shall interfere! If someone intervenes, the person saved must end their own life in front of everyone!"
Emperor End looked at Wyatt Barnes, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and spoke almost word for word.
Upon hearing Emperor End’s words, people at the scene involuntarily gasped.
If they indeed swear according to Emperor End’s words, wouldn’t that mean that even the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master, Lanni Barnes, couldn’t save his son’s life at a critical moment?
For a moment, many eyes fell on Lanni Barnes.
And they just caught Lanni Barnes’ face slightly changing.
Seeing Lanni Barnes’ expression, a brilliant smile appeared on Emperor End’s face. He could see that even the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master, Lanni Barnes, didn’t seem so confident in his son.
Otherwise, his face wouldn’t change upon hearing these words!
Emperor Mountain also noticed Lanni Barnes’ face.
Additionally, he observed the drastically changing faces of Augustine Landon and Withered.
