Under normal circumstances, if the two forces were not mortal enemies, they would not shed all pretenses of cordiality.
When two tigers fight, one will definitely be injured!
The Artifact Pavilion was backed by the Craftsmen's Sect, and the High Cloud Pavilion also had the support of a big force. Once they fell out, it would not be good for either side.
If the two giants were to fight, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Perhaps the two great forces would suffer great losses. It was unknown how many people would die and how many experts would fall.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, when there was a dispute between two major forces, when one side was in the right, the other side would back down and compromise.
It was no big deal to suffer some losses. As long as it was not a serious injury, it was not a big deal. He would just have to find a chance to get it back.
Ling Wanjian, on the other hand, was ready to fight to the death, cutting off all means of retreat.
If the Dragon Xuesha continued to press on, it would be a life-and-death struggle.
As a matter of fact, Ling Wanjian had no other options. His grandson was killed by Lu Li and he was humiliated.
Last time, not only did the Brown Blood Mountain fail to kill Lu Li, but the Cabinet of Relics took revenge on the Cabinet of Cloud. The Cabinet of Relics lost many disciples. Once again, the Cabinet of Cloud was humiliated.
The plan this time was huge, but it still failed at the last step. This made Ling Wanjian furious.
Furthermore, Long Xuesha was very overbearing. If Jiang Yi didn't act more forcefully, not only would he lose all his face, but he might also … lose Ling Hong.
His favorite grandson was dead, and now his only son was going to take the blame?
Then what was the point of living?
He might as well die in battle.
Ling Wanjian's sudden unyieldingness enraged Long Xuesha. Elder Gu's eyes surged with killing intent.
The other three Elders were a little nervous. Once Long Xuesha and Ling Wanjian fought, it might trigger a war between the High Sky Pavilion and the Divine Artifact Pavilion.
All experts had their pride and dignity. If Ling Wanjian didn't admit defeat, Long Xuesha wouldn't be able to back down. He could only sneer and say, "Brother Wanjian, I heard that your Intent of Fire is extremely close to the Perfection Realm?
Should he let Blood Fiend have a taste of it?
It just so happens that my Heavenly Fiend True Meaning is about to reach the Great Perfection Realm. "
Long Xuesha made his stance clear. As the top expert of the Divine Artifact Pavilion, he naturally could not back down in such a situation.
Otherwise, he would not only lose face, but also the entire Artifact Pavilion and even the Craftsmen's Sect.
"Hahaha!"
Ling Wanjian laughed loudly and looked at Long Xuesha without fear. He said, "Brother Xuesha, since you are so kind, it would be impolite of me to refuse. Shall we go out and have some fun?"
Long Xuesha nodded slightly, his battle intent surging.
He wasn't confident that he could defeat or kill Ling Wanjian, but since he had been forced into a corner, he had no choice but to fight.
"Hum ~"
At that moment, the teleportation formation behind Long Xuesha and the others lit up.
Long Xuesha was about to soar into the sky when he subconsciously stopped and looked behind him.
Three figures materialized in the teleportation array. Long Xuesha and the others were astonished when they saw them.
Luo Tuo, Old Bu, and the others were startled, but they quickly came forward and bowed.
"Greetings, Elder Crane, greetings, Elder Hawk!"
The Dragon Blood Fiend, Elder Gu and the others also bowed. Elder He was a famous expert of the Craftsmen's Sect, and there was no need to mention Elder Ying's identity, he was a Divine Craftsman Master.
The other person was actually Luo Huang, the new generation's Craftsman King.
Long Xuesha and the others were of higher seniority. Therefore, they didn't bow to Luo Huang. They merely nodded.
Elder He had blue hair and a smile on his face. He looked like a harmless and kind old man.
He looked around with a smile and said, "Why is it so lively here?
Xuesha, I heard that you are going to fight with someone?
This old man has always loved to fight. Why don't … you give this opportunity to this old man? "
"Swish, swish, swish ~"
Ling Wanjian, Ling Hong, and the others were pale. Ling Wanjian was even filled with grief and indignation.
Others might not know who Elder He was, but he knew better than anyone else. Elder He ranked 103 on the list, very close to the level of a supreme warrior in the Divinity.
Elder He wanted to fight with him?
Wasn't that bullying?
Also, this was between him and the Chamber of Relics. If Elder He was involved, then it would be between the Cabinet of Cloud and the Craftsmen's Sect. How could he make an enemy of the Craftsmen's Sect?
Long Xuesha, Patriarch Gu, and the others were taken aback. Luo Tuo and the others were surprised as well.
That being said, Luo Tuo felt lucky that he didn't kill Lu Li right away. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster.
Lu Li said that he was related to Patriarch Ying. It seemed that their relationship was not shallow. Otherwise, Patriarch Ying would not have asked Patriarch He to deal with Ling Wanjian.
After a moment of silence, Long Xuesha was overjoyed. Ling Wanjian should be more powerful than he was. He could be defeated or even killed by Ling Wanjian.
Now that Patriarch He had come forward, Long Xuesha was more than happy.
Long Xuesha bowed and said, "Since Patriarch He is in such a good mood, I will not say no."
Patriarch He nodded with a smile. Then, he looked at Ling Wanjian and said, "You are Ling Wanjian, right?
Since you dare to make trouble at the territory of the Craftsmen's Sect, you must be well-prepared.
How about this … you take 10 strikes from me. If you can survive, I will let you go. What do you think? "
Patriarch He's words were light and he was still smiling. However, his words made Ling Wanjian and the others feel as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads.
Ling Wanjian was only ranked in the hundreds on the Divine List. He might be ranked in the hundreds, but his combat strength was several levels lower than Patriarch He.
Most importantly … Patriarch He had a saint-grade Divine Artifact!
Therefore, Ling Wanjian might not even be able to take one move, let alone 10 strikes.
Clearly, Patriarch He was bullying Ling Wanjian and was not following the rules. Even though he and Ling Wanjian were of the same generation, their combat strength was far apart. It was like an adult bullying a child.
Ling Wanjian didn't want to die yet. He was confident that he could win the fight with Long Xuesha. Even if he lost, he wouldn't die.
However, he would die for sure if he fought with Patriarch He.
He paused, touched his nose, and said, "Patriarch He, you are a person of virtue and prestige. This is between me and Long Xuesha. It is not good for you to get involved, is it?"
"What's not good about it?" Patriarch He spread his hands and said, "Are you blaming me for not following the rules?
Bullying you, right? "
Ling Wanjian couldn't help but retort, "Isn't that so?"
"Yes!"
Patriarch He said with a smile, "Today, I want to bully you. Are you not happy?
Since you dare to make trouble here, you should have thought about the consequences of angering the Craftsmen's Sect.
The Craftsmen's Sect is not to be messed with by any Tom, Dick, or Harry! "
"You …"
Ling Wanjian almost spat out blood. It was clear that Patriarch He was trying to intimidate him.
Ling Wanjian couldn't beat Patriarch He, and Patriarch He wouldn't reason with him. He could either fight to the death or admit defeat.
"Impressive!"
Lu Li sighed as he watched from the side. Once again, he had a strong desire for absolute power.
Without strength, he would be bullied at will, and his life would be in the hands of others.
However, with absolute strength, he could be like Patriarch He. He could reason with others if he wanted to. He could be rude and unreasonable if he didn't want to. He could oppress others with his power. He had to endure it even if he was not happy!
Ling Wanjian felt wronged. He laughed bitterly, and his momentum weakened. He laughed with grief and indignation. Cupping his fists, he said, "Good, good, Patriarch He!
I admit defeat this time. What do you think we should do? "
Patriarch He put on a kind smile. He said with a grin, "That's right. Don't force yourself if you don't have the strength. Be a coward when you have to.
I won't make things difficult for you. I will destroy your son's cultivation and kill the others. Then, I will let this matter go … "
