It was nearing noon. It would not be long before the life-and-death battle between the three kings began. The thirty thousand spectators were basically all present. They formed a circle above the basin, making it look rather spectacular.
And in the basin, the three kings stood at three corners of the basin, forming a triangular formation. A repressive atmosphere emanated throughout the basin. The gargantuan's killing intent made the spectators above the basin feel suffocated.
At that moment, someone in the audience suddenly exclaimed.
"Ah, look! What is the Celestial King doing!?"
This exclamation made the surrounding spectators involuntarily turn their heads to look at Speechless.
They saw Speechless with his hands behind his back. From the front, it looked like a simple cool action of having his hands behind his back, but from the back, the more sharp-eyed spectators saw a strange scene.
Speechless's crossed hands were tied together by a rope that looked rather hard!
In the basin, there was no one else other than the three kings. Furthermore, the three kings were so far apart, so who could tie the Celestial King's hands together?
"The Celestial King did it himself!"
"What's going on? Why would the Celestial King tie his hands? Could it be a pre-battle exercise? "
"That can't be? Is it such a strange pre-battle exercise? "
There was a flurry of discussion in the audience. Pulp Farmer and company looked at each other as they discussed what Speechless was doing. Sunless was constantly staring in Shi Xiaobai's direction, as though she was unconcerned. Instead, it was the silver-haired girl and Mu Yuesheng who rolled their eyes in unison.
Shi Xiaobai and the gargantuan also heard the discussion in the audience as they turned to look at Speechless.
The gargantuan asked in a deep voice, "Despicable Celestial King, what tricks are you up to this time?"
The gargantuan felt that he was still too naive. Against the shameless Infernal King and the despicable Celestial King, he needed to constantly raise his vigilance and intelligence, or he would definitely be fooled.
Now, there was even the act of tying his own hands.
Was this to play to the gallery? Or could it be to make him lower his guard?
Speechless was very pleased that everyone was looking at him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as his eyes were filled with contempt. With an invincible and lonely stance, he said, "From This King's point of view, defeating all of you does not require my hands."
This was the answer Speechless gave. It was the answer to why he tied his hands.
Needless to say, this answer made people speechless.
The expressions of the Infernal domain and Transcendents changed. They felt that the Celestial King was too arrogant. He actually dared to boast shamelessly and belittle their king.
The expressions of the Celestial domain audience changed as well. They knew that the Celestial King was very strong, so strong that he could crush Field Marshal Awesomo. However, the Infernal King and the new Transcendent king were not weak either. What the hell was the use of both hands!?
The silver-haired girl and Mu Yuesheng simultaneously revealed looks of contempt, with an expression that said "I knew it".
A look of enlightenment flashed in Feng Yuanlin's eyes as he exclaimed, "Holy sh * t, how did I forget. 'Posture before fighting'. Isn't that Speechless?"
Liu Yu curled his lips and said, "Posturing before fighting is indeed a famous habit of Speechless', but who knew that he would dare do so against the gargantuan and Shi Xiaobai."
Pulp Farmer said in a deep voice, "Isn't this posturing a little too much? Although Speechless was known as the number one youth in China with unfathomable strength, Shi Xiaobai was not necessarily weaker than him, right? By tying his hands, he is being too arrogant. "
In the basin, the gargantuan laughed. It was a horrifying laugh. "You will pay a terrible price for your arrogance."
Shi Xiaobai remained calm. He knew that Speechless was not a brainless and arrogant person. If Speechless said that he did not need both hands, he definitely had a way of fighting that did not require both hands.
However, the posturing was very stiff.
At that moment, the gargantuan suddenly turned his head towards the basin and said, "Moya, throw that thing over!"
Everyone's attention was immediately diverted by the gargantuan's words.
Moya's response came from above the basin. "Your Excellency, this Infernal King is clearly a shameless villain. Do you really want to do that?"
The gargantuan said angrily, "Cut the crap. Throw the thing over!"
Just as the gargantuan said that, a black object was thrown into the sky and landed in the basin.
Everyone immediately widened their eyes as they looked at the black object against the blinding sunlight.
What was it that the gargantuan suddenly got Moya to throw over? What did it have to do with the Infernal King?
Under the dazzling sunlight, the true appearance of the black object could finally be seen. It was actually a black longsword!
Not only was the black sword's blade black, there was also a layer of faint black mist lingering around the sword. It was like a dark ghost that lingered around it. It exuded a cold aura that left people shuddering under the hot sunlight.
The black sword spun in the sky before falling down. Finally, with a boom, it stabbed into the ground in front of Shi Xiaobai.
"This is your Infernal Sword."
The gargantuan said coldly, "It is unknown why this sword appeared in Transcendence, but it was definitely not stolen by the Transcendents. Now, This King is returning the Infernal Sword to you!"
Shi Xiaobai knew that the Infernal Sword was in Transcendence, but he never expected the gargantuan to return it. What was he up to?
Shi Xiaobai could not help but ask out of curiosity, "I never expected you to be so upright?"
"Upright?"
The gargantuan said with a sneer, "Shameless Infernal King. I heard that with the Infernal Sword in hand, your strength will rise to a whole new level. This King only wants to crush you in your strongest state to prove the power of the Transcendents."
This was the reason why the gargantuan had decided to return the Infernal Sword despite knowing that Shi Xiaobai was a shameless Infernal King disguised as a Braveheart. He was confident that he could defeat the Infernal King in his strongest state, and only by defeating the Infernal King in his strongest state could he enjoy himself!
This was the confidence of a mighty figure!
"This is the fucking way a mighty figure acts!"
Feng Yuanlin said with a sigh, "First, it was Speechless who tied his hands, and then the new Transcendent king returned the Infernal Sword. Their posturing methods are identical. It leaves people speechless, but you can't help but admire their confidence. There's a nagging feeling that the mighty should be like this!"
When Liu Yu and Pulp Farmer heard this, they nodded in agreement.
Shi Xiaobai was somewhat surprised. He never expected that after Speechless' posturing, the gargantuan would also do the same. However, Shi Xiaobai had to say that the gargantuan's posturing was well done. He had actually returned the Infernal Sword to him.
Shi Xiaobai reached out his hand to hold the Infernal Sword and sensed the surging energy in the Infernal Sword. A joyful smile suffused across his lips.
This was a true Infernal Sword!
It was like a cooked duck had been delivered to his mouth!
Shi Xiaobai surveyed his surroundings and felt somewhat conflicted. There were too many people, but he could not help it!
"I haven't had breakfast. I'm a little hungry."
Shi Xiaobai pretended to mutter to himself as he could not help but gulp a mouthful of saliva.
Everyone was surprised. They did not understand what Shi Xiaobai meant by suddenly shouting that he was hungry. Only Speechless' eyes lit up slightly, but his eyes immediately flashed a look of disbelief.
And at the next moment, Shi Xiaobai suddenly raised the Infernal Sword and stabbed it into his mouth!
"Ah!?"
Everyone screamed!
However, they soon saw the Infernal Sword that was swirling with a black aura stab straight into Shi Xiaobai's throat. It stabbed all the way to the end, and finally, Shi Xiaobai closed his mouth and swallowed the entire sword!
"Burp ~"
Shi Xiaobai could not help but burp.
At that moment, there was complete silence.
Shi Xiaobai immediately felt a little embarrassed, but he was mostly delighted. The Infernal Sword was a genuine holy item. Its value was on the same level as the Celestial Jade and the Transcendence fruit. Now, eating the Infernal Sword would definitely help him in battle. Furthermore, he could not help but burp. This was great news for Shi Xiaobai, who had not felt full despite eating countless amounts of 'food'.
He had finally eaten his fill!
But to the thirty thousand spectators, this scene was too ridiculous.
"I suspect that I might have a fake pair of eyes."
"I suspect that it might be a fake Infernal Sword."
"I suspect that it's a trick of the Infernal King."
"I suspect …"
Feng Yuanlin looked at his two companions with a dumbfounded look and said, "What do you think?"
Liu Yu waved his whisk and said, "This Penniless Priest suspects that Shi Xiaobai was not eating the Infernal Sword, but posturing."
Pulp Farmer said helplessly, "There's no need to doubt. I only admire Shi Xiaobai for posturing."
Feng Yuanlin yelled, "He's posturing with his life!?"
Shi Xiaobai was obviously not posturing. You might not believe it, but he was eating ice-cream. The Infernal Sword had already melted in his stomach.
That feeling was wonderful.
"It's about time. Shall we begin?"
Shi Xiaobai asked.
Shi Xiaobai felt that it was about time. It was time to begin. It would not be good to drag on any longer.
Because … if he did not begin, the readers would begin cursing.

(PS: Calm down. Although the plot is dragging, what is to come will eventually come. Let's begin. These two chapters are from March 7th. I said that I would update them as per normal, but my biological clock was not adjusted properly. I only finished writing in the middle of the night. There's no other way. I will ensure the number of updates. I still need time to adjust the update time.)
