"Li Qingshan, I admit you're much stronger than regular trash, so I'd advise you not to make a mistake. Don't ruin your great future for mere worldly possessions!"
Even when Si Qing stood before Li Qingshan, he still looked down on him and ordered him around.
"My future can't be ruined just because someone wants to, even if it's some prince or crown prince!" Li Qingshan fiddled around with the Asura Field, completely ignoring Si Qing's threat.
"Unraging master, the Asura Field doesn't just belong to me. It belongs to the imperial family too, so it must be taken back. Does the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga really want to become enemies with Great Xia over this kid?"
Si Qing held back his urge to kill Li Qingshan and said to the Unraging monk.
"You're only a crown prince. You still can't represent Great Xia. The Asura Field is soaked in the blood of the cultivators of our Green province. I don't think it'll be that easy if you want to take it back so easily!" The Unraging monk retorted firmly.
"At the end of the day, you just want some benefits. Alright, state your conditions!"
Si Qing said in disdain. He had noticed the dense, blood-red light in the Asura Field. Clearly, it was much more powerful than when he had just refined it, so he did not mind paying a little price. He would naturally get his revenge in the future.
"There are no conditions at all. You can't take the Asura Field away!" Li Qingshan rejected him flatly.
"Li Qingshan, why don't you take a look at your identity first? Is there any place for you to speak here?" Si Qing was angered. Having been provoked by a White Hawk commander time and time again, his patience had reached the limit too.
"I can tell you're not willing to just let the matter go. Why don't we have another bet? The Asura Field will belong to whoever wins!" Li Qingshan said.
"What bet?" Si Qing asked.
"Don't you like duels? Then let's have another one!"
"You want your master to fight me? What a good disciple!" Si Qing sneered.
Yue Wuyang frowned heavily. He felt great contempt towards Li Qingshan. Was he acting willfully just because he was using his connections to intimidate others?
However, the Unraging monk did not think so. He was well aware of Li Qingshan's temperament. He was so independent that he was proud and aloof. Even if Li Qingshan was under his protection, Li Qingshan would not accept it, let alone fight on his behalf.
"No, I want to duel with you!" Li Qingshan's eyes shone brightly. He looked straight at Si Qing.
As soon as he said that, everyone except Gu Yanying was stunned, wondering if they had heard wrongly.
Not only was Si Qing at the third stage of the Heavenly Tribulation, he had also cultivated the Black Emperor Dragon Scripture, one of the Three Graves and Five Scriptures of the royal family. His strength far surpassed that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Qingshan. Don't be rash! "
The Unraging monk smiled bitterly inside. Now this is Li Qingshan's temperament. Oh, my damned disciple. You might as well have let your master take action!
Yue Wuyang's expression changed from disdain to surprise. In the end, he had to admit that he really couldn't see through Li Qingshan!
"Master. I know what I'm doing. I'm known as the 'King of Savages' in the southern border! "Li Qingshan said with a smile.
"King of Savages, could it be that he … No, this is impossible!"
Si Qing's mind raced, and he immediately rejected this inconceivable thought. As a prince, he had the best talent, the best resources, and the strongest cultivation technique, but he had still spent over three hundred years to reach this level. It took more than a hundred years to go from the second heavenly tribulation to the third.
Given Li Qingshan's background, it was already a miracle that he could become the White Eagle Commander at such a young age. He had only undergone the second heavenly tribulation in 20 to 30 years, so it was impossible for him to undergo the third heavenly tribulation.
Hmph, the so-called "King of Savages" is definitely just an empty title. What King of Savages? Savages are more like savages. Aren't you afraid of being mocked in such a desolate place?
It was not Si Qing's fault for thinking like that. Aside from Gu Yanying, everyone present was the same. No one would guess that Li Qingshan had already gone through three heavenly tribulations. This had nothing to do with wisdom, but common sense.
"What, are you scared? Your Highness! "
This bastard still dares to bluff!
That was what Si Qing believed. He felt humiliated by his hesitation Just Now, so he said proudly, "Dueling you is an insult to me, but for the sake of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, I'll give you this opportunity."
Li Qingshan smiled inside. You've finally taken the bait, or in other words, he crooked his finger, and the fish leapt ashore. "Since you want my Asura Field, you should offer something of equal value as a wager. Otherwise, the duel won't take place."
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I also have a condition." Cold light flashed through Si Qing's eyes.
"What condition?" Li Qingshan asked.
"I want to engage in a battle to the death with you. No one is allowed to interfere before life and death is determined!" Si Qing's killing intent surged. He no longer hid it.
"A 'qing, that's not very appropriate!" Gu Yanying tried to persuade him.
"Yanying, this has nothing to do with you!" Si Qing said straightforwardly. He was certain that Gu Yanying was siding with Li Qingshan.
Gu Yanying shook her head. What was the point?
Li Qingshan lowered his head and feigned hesitation to hide the joy in his heart. To think that there would be something so good!
Originally, he had considered Si Qing's identity, and killing him would definitely lead to endless trouble. His plans in the Green province would all be disrupted, so he had been considering whether to kill him or not. He never thought he would actually propose such a delightful condition.
"What, are you afraid now?" Si Qing became more and more certain that Li Qingshan was just putting on an act Just Now.
"Erm, I still vaguely remember that a duel can only be fought with your own strength?" Li Qingshan asked in a probing manner, as if he wanted to shrink back. He had already made up his mind to kill. He thought, As the crown prince, this bastard must have quite a lot of life-saving items on him. If it's a regular battle, I really might not be able to kill him.
"That's right. No external items are allowed in the duel. The sumeru ring will be handed to the arbitrator for safekeeping, and the victor will obtain everything. How about it? This wager is much greater than the Asura Field." Si Qing was afraid that Li Qingshan would go back on his word, so he added another bait.
"Alright!" Li Qingshan seemed to have made up his mind. He thought, Si Qing, oh Si Qing, you can't blame me if you want to die!
When Li Qingshan agreed, Si Qing suddenly felt uneasy, as if he had made a wrong judgment. However, he immediately suppressed this uneasiness. There was no reason for him to lose.
"Great General King, please lend me your Asura Field!"
"Please hand over your sumeru rings and all your belongings!" Yue Wuyang took out an Asura Field with a flip of his hand. The decorations were indeed different from Li Qingshan's Asura Field, and it was even denser.
"Yanying, you'll be our arbitrator," Si Qing said to Gu Yanying.
"Both parties have to agree." Yue Wuyang lowered his eyes. As the owner of the Asura Field, he would usually be the arbitrator. Si Qing clearly did not trust him.
Gu Yanying nodded slightly and said to Li Qingshan, "May I?"
"Yes."
The two sumeru rings landed in Gu Yanying's hand. She clenched her fists. "Although it's a battle to the death, I'd advise the two of you to be lenient wherever possible."
Si Qing thought Gu Yanying was talking to him. He sneered slightly, but he did not comment.
"I've always been one to be lenient wherever possible." Li Qingshan smiled. He would never be lenient wherever possible.
With that, he stepped into the Asura Field first. The familiar blood-red swirl permeated with a heavy stench of blood. Everything was enveloped in a layer of red light.
The terrain was relatively simple, with undulating mountain ranges and lone peaks standing tall. Surrounded by the mountains, there was a large open space.
Li Qingshan and Si Qing appeared in the empty space, facing off against each other.
Soon afterwards. The Unraging monk and the others appeared on the tallest mountain, overlooking the battlefield below.
"Yue Wuyang, who are they?"
With a flash of red light, a man with disheveled hair appeared on the mountain, directly calling Yue Wuyang by name. The presence he gave off was that of an Asura King.
"A living one and a dead one!" Yue Wuyang said.
"A battle to the death! Interesting! "the Asura King said.
"Who do you think will win?" Yue Wuyang asked.
"There's actually a battle you can't predict?" The Asura King was rather surprised. He glanced down. "If I were to bet, I'd bet on the kid on the right."
Yue Wuyang was slightly surprised. The one on the right was Li Qingshan. He said sternly, "He hasn't undergone the third heavenly tribulation yet."
"What? Did I make a mistake?" The Asura King knew nothing about Li Qingshan. He made a judgment based on his instincts as a warrior. He stared at Li Qingshan deeply. "His presence is completely concealed, so how do you know he hasn't undergone the third heavenly tribulation? Why do I feel like he's much more difficult to deal with than the kid on the left? Maybe you made a mistake. "
Yue Wuyang wanted to deny it. However, he struggled to question the Asura King's instincts regarding this battle. Did I really make a mistake?
"Li Qingshan, feel free to use whatever you've got! I'd like to see where you get the confidence to challenge me. I heard you practise the secret cultivation method of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, the Demon Suppression Statuary. Let me see what's so impressive about it! "
"As you wish!"
Li Qingshan released his suppression over the demon heart. Immediately, demon qi surged into the air, surging out in all directions like the tide.
Although he still lacked the time to polish the "quality", from the perspective of "quantity", the effects were quite startling.
Si Qing was stunned. He was in disbelief.
"Demon King!"
Yue Wuyang's eyes narrowed. Within the surging demon qi, Li Qingshan's dark-red eyes were like cold stars. Strange demonic tattoos appeared on his body.
He suddenly understood. To be able to calmly kill the Flying Locust Daemon Commander in the midst of a locust plague, it was not something that a Jindan adept could do. He definitely did not rely on a mere Shura Field. However, how could this be possible? How old was he?
The Unraging monk was taken aback before bursting into laughter. This disciple of his always surprised him.
"The third heavenly tribulation! He's already undergone the third heavenly tribulation!" Yue Bing murmured. He recalled how he had even said he wanted to compete with Li Qingshan back in the Chain mountains. Now that he thought about it, it was such a joke.
"Li Qingshan, oh Li Qingshan. Looks like I've still underestimated you." Han Anjun glanced at Han Qiongzhi again. Seeing how relieved she was, he could not help but sigh inside.
"Do you really think you can defeat me like this?" Si Qing recovered from his shock. He roared and turned into a black dragon, lunging towards Li Qingshan.
"Alright, there's no point in guessing anymore. The outcome has already been determined!" said the Asura King.
"The difference in strength between them isn't that great!" said Yue Wuyang. As a matter of fact, Si Qing was slightly stronger.
"You still don't understand? I think you've been a great general for too long. You've even forgotten the most basic things. Don't beasts always do their best to conceal themselves when they hunt? The kid on the right could've just continued to conceal his strength and launched a sudden attack at a critical moment. "
Yue Wuyang was speechless. Was he no longer concealing himself because he had already achieved his objective? He was absolutely confident that he could kill Si Qing here?
