March 3rd, Mount Vacant!
The sky was gloomy and the clouds were dense. The representatives from both sides were dressed in black. Apart from those who were going to fight, the spectators were dressed in white. It was as though they were sending off their family's heroes.
The entire mountain was covered in black and the white robes were as white as snow!
On the Blood Drinking Peak, the two families stood opposite each other, forming two huge camps.
Beyond Heavens and Above Heavens occupied the north and south of the battlefield. Beyond Heavens and Beyond Heavens occupied the north while Beyond Heavens occupied the south.
Under the gazes of the crowd, Ye QingChen stood up and walked to the battlefield with the eagle-nosed elder from Beyond Heavens. After inspecting the battlefield carefully, they raised their hands and announced that there was no problem with the battlefield. The battle had begun!
No one noticed that behind Yu BingYan, there were already two unfamiliar faces among her personal Ling Family guards. They were eyeing the field like tigers eyeing their prey.
Ling Tian and Ling Jian had rushed over early in the morning. With their martial arts, it was naturally easy for them to sneak in without anyone noticing. However, only a few people knew of their arrival.
Thousands of people were watching, but there was only silence.
Ye QingChen and the eagle-nosed elder had solemn expressions as they spoke at the same time, "Please welcome the two family heads."
Yu ManLou and Shui ManKong stood up at the same time and walked to the center of the battlefield. Both of them had solemn expressions as they raised their cups of wine and drank it in a single gulp. With two 'pa pa' sounds, the wine cups were smashed onto the ground and shattered into pieces.
The two of them looked at each other and clapped their hands together. The sound of their clapping resounded throughout the entire Blood Drinking Peak. They said solemnly in unison, "The battle of life and death. The victor shall have no enmity and the deceased shall have no grievances!"
These words were the oath that the ancestors of the two families had sworn a thousand years ago!
"Brother Yu, please!"
"Brother Shui, please!"
The two of them laughed heartily and returned to their seats. From the two families' camps, a person walked out with a golden name list in his hands and handed it over to the two judges of Beyond Heavens and Beyond Heavens.
Tamago's battle roster was sent to Beyond Heavens, while the Shui Clan's roster was sent to Beyond Heavens.
There were a total of eleven battles in the generational battle. There were ten individual battles, and each clan would send out two hundred people to fight in a chaotic battle! Regardless of victory or defeat, only life or death would be decided. Life or death would be decided by fate, victory or defeat would be decided by the heavens!
Even if they lost nine of the first ten battles, the remaining battles were unavoidable! Life and death had to be determined.
"First match!" Ye QingChen's voice was like metal, resounding through the clouds. "Tamago's representative: Second Elder of the Dark Shadow Pavilion, Yu Zhiqing!"
The eagle-nosed old man announced solemnly, "The Shui Clan's representative is the ninth elder of the Shui Clan, Shui Wuhen."
The two people who were going to fight in the first match were not well-known in their respective clans. However, their martial arts could be said to be very tyrannical. In terms of level, they had already reached the Xian Tian realm. They could already be considered as first-rate experts in the world. It was obvious that both clans wanted to get off to a good start in this first match.
The finale of this battle was naturally the battle between Shui WuBo and Yu ManLou. But just from this point alone, it could be seen that the authority of the Shui Family's Family Head, Shui ManKong, had fallen to someone else. Compared to Yu ManLou, Shui ManKong's authority was far inferior! Otherwise, even if Shui ManKong knew that he wasn't a match for Yu ManLou, he would still have to step forward and fight!
Furthermore, Tamago's arrangements were all arranged by Yu ManLou. As for the Shui Family Head, Shui ManKong, he had delegated all of his authority to Yu ManLou. His two brothers and the first elder, Shui WuBo, were the ones in charge.
Originally, Shui ManKong naturally wouldn't have made such an arrangement. After all, the generational battle this time had a huge impact on the internal power of the Shui Family. It could be said that whichever faction of the Shui Family won the most in this generational battle would determine whether the position of the head of the Shui Family would be changed. Shui ManKong's faction had already been forced to the point where they had no choice but to fight with their backs against the wall. If they were unable to obtain a good result in this generational battle, Shui ManKong's downfall was already set in stone.
But ever since Shui ManKong found out about his relationship with Ling Tian from his daughter, he couldn't help but change his mind. Thus, he decided to do the opposite and allow his cousins to make their own arrangements. In any case, as long as they wanted to obtain victory, they would have to bring out their greatest strength. How could Tamago be easy to deal with? It was inevitable that both sides would suffer heavy casualties.
With Ling Tian's full support, Shui ManKong was confident that he would be able to cleanse his family thoroughly after this generational battle! Even if he was willing to use the number one expert of the Shui Family to get rid of Shui WuBo, he wouldn't hesitate to do so!
On the other hand, regardless of how heavy the losses of Tamago's side branches were, it would only be beneficial to him and Ling Tian!
Shui ManKong had already made up his mind. Since his son was already dead, there was no one to inherit the Shui Family. If he were to hand the Shui Family over to his cousins, Shui QianRou and Ling Tian would probably be the first to get rid of the Shui Family! If that happened, the Shui Family would be completely finished.
However, he still had his daughter! If he were to hand the family business over to his daughter, it would be the same as handing it over to his son-in-law! I, Shui ManKong, might not be able to defeat you, Ling Tian, but after Ling Tian takes over the Shui Family, he would definitely be able to surpass Yu ManLou. As long as Yu ManLou is defeated in the end, it would be at the hands of my son-in-law! That would be the victory of my Shui Family!
Of course, if Ling Tian was able to let QianRou's child inherit the Shui Family, that would also be a good choice! However, this was just wishful thinking!
In the future, if Ling Tian was willing to make Shui QianRou the empress, that would be even better. If not, she would at least be an imperial concubine! Even if the Shui Family was to eliminate the aristocratic families, that would be up to him. After all, the Shui Family wouldn't be too far off as a relative of the emperor. However, Tamago would definitely be finished at that time. No matter what, the final victor between the Shui Family and the Yu Family would still be the Shui Family.
Regardless of the outcome, a declining Shui Family would still be much stronger than the powerful Tamago! As long as he could achieve this, Shui ManKong would already be extremely satisfied!
Thus, Shui ManKong's thoughts underwent a huge change in a short period of time!
Of course, if Shui QianHuan was still alive, Shui ManKong would definitely not agree to such a matter. In fact, he wouldn't even think about it!
However, it was a pity that Shui QianHuan was no longer around. Thankfully, Shui QianHuan was no longer around!
After meeting Ling Tian in secret that night, Shui ManKong immediately made this decision!
He placed all his bets on Ling Tian! As long as Ling Tian was able to unify the world, everything would be worth it!
In a situation where he didn't have a son, a son-in-law could be considered half a son! Shui ManKong was extremely happy in his heart. Looking at the excited looks on his cousins' faces, he thought to himself, Fight, fight, fight, and die! The more intense the fight, the better! Regardless of whether it is the Shui Family or the people from Tamago, the more people who die, the better! The greater the losses, the better! That way, I will be able to save some effort in the next step of my cleansing. At the same time, I will be able to lessen the pressure on my son-in-law's ambitions!
The battle between the two parties had already reached its climax. One would advance while the other would retreat, and the wind would howl as they fought with their lives on the line.
While the intention of the battle between the two families was to determine who was stronger and who was weaker, it had already become a custom for the past thousand years. This was a battle of life and death! There was no difference in strength and it would always end with the death of one party! Before one party died, the battle would definitely not stop. Even if one party knew that they were no match for the other, it was impossible for them to admit defeat! The one who survived in the end would be the victor!
At this moment, Ling Tian and Ling Jian were hiding behind Yu BingYan. Looking at this fierce battle, the two of them had a strange expression on their faces.
Ling Tian asked softly, "Ah Jian, in your eyes, what do you think of the martial arts of these two people?"
Ling Jian looked at the battle seriously and said with disdain, "In this year, I have improved greatly. If I were to assassinate them, I have the confidence to end the battle in a single move! Furthermore, I would be able to kill both of them at the same time. "
"What if you were to fight them head on?" Ling Tian was satisfied with Ling Jian's answer and asked with a smile.
"If we were to fight them head on, I'm confident that I would be able to kill them within ten moves if I were to use a risky move. However, if we were to fight in a safe manner, I'm afraid that we would have to fight for at least a hundred moves without paying any price." Ling Jian estimated carefully and said cautiously.
"Ah Jian, you have indeed improved a lot." Ling Tian praised, "To think that you would be able to consider the word 'safe'."
Ling Jian's forehead was filled with black lines and he did not know whether to laugh or cry. Was this considered a compliment? Didn't this mean that he did not use his brain in the past? Of course, the only one who would dare to say such words to Ling Jian was Ling Tian! As for the others, even Li Xue and Ling Chen, they would have to consider it carefully.
"Look at Yu ManLou." Ling Tian's voice sounded and he looked in Yu ManLou's direction with a deep gaze.
Ling Jian shifted his gaze away from the two of them and looked towards Yu ManLou, only to see Yu ManLou casually talking to Yu ManTang. It was as though Yu ManLou didn't care about the outcome of the battle or who would emerge victorious in the end.
Among the thousands of people present, only two of them had a calm expression. One of them was Yu ManLou and the other was Shui ManKong! It was truly a coincidence that they were the Family Heads of the Shui and Yu Families. The only difference was that Yu ManLou had victory in his hands while Shui ManKong had other plans. Both of them had the demeanor of a great general.
"Very calm. It seems like Yu ManLou is very confident in this battle. "Ling Jian said seriously. "Right now, the gap between the Shui and Yu Families is getting bigger and bigger. If the Shui Family does not make any changes, there might not even be a need to hold the generational battle."
"That's not what I want you to see! Of course, Yu ManLou is very confident. This is something that even the Shui Family members can tell. As for the generational battle, it will only be held this year. In my eyes, what future do the two families have?! " Ling Tian flicked Yu ManLou's forehead and said, "I want you to take a look at Yu ManLou's current appearance and see if he is any different from the Yu ManLou you saw in Tamago."
"What's different?" Ling Jian looked at Yu ManLou carefully and shook his head, "He is still the same. There isn't anything different about him." He then said thoughtfully, "However, from the looks of it, Yu ManLou is even more sinister than before."
"That's right!" Ling Tian said with a serious expression, "Previously, I said that apart from the martial arts passed down in the Tamago, Yu ManLou should be cultivating in another evil martial art that is extremely sinister! When it lands on a person's body, it will cause the person's internal energy to be scattered and their blood vessels to turn cold. At that time, there was a layer of green qi on his face. But now, that layer of green qi is gone. The first possibility is that Yu ManLou has crippled that evil martial art of his. The second possibility is that the evil qi has entered his body and Yu ManLou's evil martial art has already reached the grand completion stage! "
"Then it should be the grand completion stage of his evil martial art!" Ling Jian said with a cold smile, "If you say that Yu ManLou crippled his own martial art, that is even more laughable than a rooster laying eggs."
"That's right, your judgment is the same as mine." Ling Tian said with a satisfied smile, "So, if not for me by your side, none of you should try to fight Yu ManLou one on one. Not to mention whether he will give you a chance, even if he does, it is far too dangerous. "
"Is he really that powerful?" Ling Jian was a little unconvinced as he glared at Yu ManLou with a hint of eagerness, "I would like to give it a try."
"If you fight Yu ManLou and risk your life, you should have a chance to perish together with Yu ManLou!" Ling Tian said slowly and cautiously, "However, the biggest possibility is that you died on the spot while Yu ManLou still has a breath of life left in him."
"If I can use my life to clear the biggest obstacle for young noble to conquer the world, then …" Ling Jian said solemnly, "… so what if I die?"
"And Yu ManLou's arrival in Heavenly Wind is our best chance! A heaven-sent opportunity! I am confident that I can complete this mission! "Ling Jian's eyes burned with passion. In his deep eyes, a black flame burned fiercely. It was filled with the will to die!
"B * st * rd!" Ling Tian scolded, "I just praised you a moment ago and you reverted back to your original state? Since I said that, do you think that I don't have the confidence to deal with Yu ManLou? Let me tell you, Ah Jian, I had a fortuitous encounter in this trip to Heavenly Wind and my martial arts have improved greatly. Apart from Justice, I believe that there is no one else in the world who can match me. Even Yu ManLou who has also made a breakthrough is no longer my opponent! It is just that the conquest of the world has to be done step by step. It is not as if we will be able to stabilize the world just because Yu ManLou is dead! "
"Isn't Yu ManLou young noble's greatest opponent?" Ling Jian could not understand.
"Yes! Of course he is! With his intelligence and strategy, he is indeed my greatest opponent! " Ling Tian said slowly, "However, in order to fight for hegemony under the heavens, one still has to rely on an army! Only by killing through endless blood and fire would one be able to establish a solid foundation! For a long period of time, the world would be peaceful and no one would dare to rebel. "
"If not, it would be too easy to obtain the world. If it was too easy to obtain, it would be too difficult to protect. This is something that all the emperors of the past understood."
"Throughout the ages, the emperors, generals, and ministers who were able to achieve great feats all climbed up from piles of corpses. There is one thing that I don't know if you've ever thought about, and that is that there are always countless martial arts experts under the command of these extraordinary figures. If you choose the best expert among them to find a chance to assassinate the enemy's leader, it may not be impossible for you to do it! But why didn't they choose to do so? Why did they choose to fight head-on on the battlefield? "
"Which family's empire was directly obtained by assassinating the enemy's leader?"
Ling Jian was a little puzzled, "Young noble is right. I really don't understand why they didn't choose to assassinate the leader. In a war, there would be hundreds of thousands of casualties. What kind of terrifying number is this? If they could avoid these losses, why not do it? In truth, me, Ling Chi, Feng, Yun, Lei, Dian, and the rest all had such thoughts. But due to young noble's strict orders, we did not dare to take action! "
"This is because the final battle to decide the future of the world is to shock and awe! Using blood, bones, and countless lives to shock and awe the enemy! Secondly, it is also a warning to the future generations! " Ling Tian said solemnly, "Firstly, when Yu ManLou accumulates his strength to the maximum, we will crush them in a single strike at their strongest moment. This will be the perfect opportunity to display our frightening strength to the world and warn those who are scheming against us not to stir up any trouble. This isn't something that they can afford to offend and definitely not something that they can resist! Secondly, we are going to grow old and the next few decades will belong to our future generations. Only when our seniors have sacrificed too much will our future generations be able to feel how difficult it is for them to obtain what they have so easily. Thus, they will be able to handle this matter cautiously and protect our foundation. "
Ling Tian raised three fingers, "Three generations! That is to say, our current battle should be able to ensure the stability of our future generations! As for what will happen after three generations, who knows what will happen? It is just that by that time, we will no longer be around and will be able to do whatever we want … "
Ling Jian choked on his own saliva. After the third generation, Ling Tian actually said that he would 'do whatever he wanted' …
Which emperor in the past didn't wish for their empire to last forever? To ensure that their future generations would be able to sit on the throne for eternity? But right in front of him, a freak like Ling Tian had appeared!
"Does young noble not wish for your future generations to enjoy riches and honor?" Ling Jian asked carefully.
"I do." Ling Tian replied with certainty.
"Then why …" Ling Jian felt even more dizzy.
"Even if I do, so what if I do? Is it really possible?" Ling Tian looked at Ling Jian and sighed, "We are fighting for the world's hegemony now. To put it in a more noble and beautiful way, it is for the sake of the world's stability and for the common people to live and work in peace and contentment. But to put it in a more selfish way, the so-called world's hegemony is nothing more than an interesting game in our eyes. It is the biggest game in life."
"Speaking of games, is there anything in life that isn't a game? Birth, aging, sickness, and death are just games. Love and hate are just games in a different way. Fighting for the world's hegemony, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than that! Using the game's attitude and method to control everything in the palm of one's hand, transcending the game and not worrying about gains and losses is the real transcendence. If you take everything too seriously, you will not be able to obtain it! "
