Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175
When Li Yi forcefully killed San Ye of the Rakshasa Royal Family in the Life and Death Hell Secret Realm, he manifested a colossal hundred-zhang Divine Body. From that moment on, many strong beings within the World Boat likely realized that this was a trait of the Heavenly God Clan.
The Heavenly God Clan is also one of the renowned powerful clans in the Heavenly Realm, and they have a Heavenly Venerate within the clan. If not for their small numbers, they might have already dominated the Heavenly Realm.
The Prison Awakening Heavenly King of the Rakshasa Clan naturally realized that Taiyi’s bloodline was extraordinary, which made him even more determined to kill him. It wasn’t just to explain to his clan members but also because he didn’t want to see someone from the Heavenly God Royal Family return.
After all, the Rakshasa Clan and the Heavenly God Clan have always been adversaries. Being able to weaken the opposite clan’s strength through this opportunity is naturally a good thing, even if it requires some sacrifice.
"Prison Awakening Heavenly King, you’re too shameless. The strong ones from the Rakshasa Royal Family were killed by Taiyi in just a few moves. What’s the meaning of sending a Female Rakshasa to the field? Do you think you have too many subordinates and want to use this opportunity to get rid of some?" Divine Might Heavenly King glared at him.
"Our Rakshasa Clan is different from your Heavenly God Clan; we have the numbers. And if you don’t compare, how do you know my subordinate is bound to lose to Taiyi? What if a miracle happens?" Prison Awakening Heavenly King said coldly, "Or are you saying the Heavenly God Clan has also learned to break promises? Agreed to ten matches, then there must be ten matches; not one less."
At these words, a surge of anger rose in Divine Might Heavenly King. The other party was clearly playing rogue, having already lost three matches with no experts remaining, yet stubbornly holding on.
But it was his own fault, having agreed earlier to compete in ten matches with the Rakshasa Clan.
Because after three matches, the stakes double, and then again after five...
The other side can’t possibly come up with that much money, so he wanted to use this method to discourage the Rakshasa Clan.
"To fight the fourth match, you have to settle the stakes of the third match first," Divine Might Heavenly King said. "Old fellow, do you have the money to pay?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by N()velFire.net
Prison Awakening Heavenly King said nothing, casually tossing out an array of treasures.
"As a Heavenly King of the Rakshasa Clan, I have some wealth; no need to worry, Divine Might Heavenly King."
Divine Might Heavenly King, upon receiving it, glanced at the numerous treasures and understood that, even with three consecutive losses, it hadn’t depleted the wealth of this Prison Awakening Heavenly King. But he also believed that the other side wouldn’t make it to the tenth match, predicting at most around five matches before losing everything.
Because the stakes would double next.
Then he looked at Taiyi.
Even though he didn’t want the Heavenly God Royal Family to take risks, in this certain winning situation, he was unperturbed.
"Taiyi, what do you think?" Divine Might Heavenly King asked.
Li Yi now understood: Divine Might Heavenly King couldn’t break the previous promise, while Prison Awakening Heavenly King was stalling for time, hoping to find a chance to eliminate him.
"Since the Rakshasa Clan likes giving money so much, I don’t mind; I’ll fight the fourth match."
Divine Might Heavenly King nodded and said, "Good, then according to the previous rules, let’s start the fourth battle. Taiyi, make it quick; don’t let them stall for time."
After speaking, he waved his hand, and in the distance, the gate of the Life and Death Hell Secret Realm opened again.
Li Yi nodded and returned once more to the Life and Death Hell Secret Realm.
At this moment, Prison Awakening Heavenly King’s eyes flickered with hesitation. As Divine Might Heavenly King assessed, having lost three matches, he was already out of resources; losing more would mean pawning his Heavenly King Soldier.
Moreover, the fourth and fifth matches were sure losses. None of his Heavenly Generals could win against Taiyi. Sending a Female Rakshasa to her death was merely a way to reduce his losses.
"What? Regretting it now, Prison Awakening Heavenly King? If so, cancel the competition now; leave the World Boat, and our Heavenly God Clan will let bygones be bygones," Divine Might Heavenly King said.
Prison Awakening Heavenly King snorted coldly, waving his hand in the air, and the Female Rakshasa immediately flew into the Life and Death Hell Secret Realm. He then transmitted a message: "Delay for time for this king, by any means necessary, just don’t get killed in one move. This king will remember your merit and reward your family later."
This Female Rakshasa couldn’t resist and was thrown into the Life and Death Secret Realm by the Heavenly King.
Soon, the gates closed.
But Divine Might Heavenly King did not leave because he was worried that this Prison Awakening Heavenly King would suddenly strike, exchanging his life to take out Taiyi.
Also, this predictable battle wouldn’t last long; soon enough, the gates of the Life and Death Hell Secret Realm would open again.
Back in the Secret Realm, Li Yi calmly stared at the Female Rakshasa, who was thrown in to die.
However, with the Golden Bell yet to ring, he didn’t make a move, simply watching her quietly.
In truth, this Female Rakshasa’s strength isn’t low; combat power at the Heavenly General Level is quite good in the Heavenly Realm. But unfortunately, today she met him.
Perhaps having witnessed Li Yi’s performance in the previous three battles, this Female Rakshasa lacked fighting spirit and had no confidence in defeating Li Yi. Her face showed changing emotions, unsure of what she was thinking.
Prison Awakening Heavenly King wanted her to delay, but how could she? How to delay?
The opponent could kill San Ye of the Rakshasa Royal Family in about five moves; even if she burnt out completely, she might not last a single round.
Moreover, being forced into a fight that she knew was certain death, there was inevitably some resentment in her heart.
But the time left for her was running out. Once the Golden Bell rang, and Taiyi made a move, she’d be done for. So now, this Female Rakshasa was sweating profusely, unsure of what to do.
Even surrender wouldn’t work.
Prison Awakening Heavenly King was outside, and even if she could leave here alive, she would be killed by the Heavenly King.
"Afraid?" Li Yi asked, staring coldly at the Female Rakshasa. "Rest assured, I’ll be quick; you won’t feel any pain."
"I can’t beat you, and I don’t want to die. If you allow me a remnant soul to leave, I can give you everything I have," the Female Rakshasa finally came up with a not-so-great solution.
Only in this way might she still have a slim chance of survival.
Because in the Life and Death Secret Realm, as long as Li Yi doesn’t kill her, her remnant soul can survive by luck. Whether she can safely leave the World Boat and head to the Heavenly Realm is unknown.
But at least it’s an opportunity.
"Oh?" Li Yi was a bit surprised, not expecting this Female Rakshasa to utter such words.
"If you’re willing to take your own life, I can give you this chance."
He didn’t refuse, but agreed instead.
This also spared him the trouble of acting, and he could reap the entire value of a Heavenly General, which might not be a bad thing for him, who is unestablished in the Heavenly Realm.
The Female Rakshasa heard this and didn’t hesitate for a moment, immediately burning herself, gathering all her power into a remnant soul, which then fled, hiding in a corner of the Life and Death Secret Realm.
And the place where she vanished left a ring floating, like a ruby.
That should be the Female Rakshasa’s Storage Magical Artifact.
Li Yi checked it carefully, and after confirming there were no issues, he took it with relief.
Then the Golden Bell resonated, signaling the battle.
Li Yi didn’t pursue that remnant soul, keeping his word to let it live, while he raised his hand to strike the open space, causing some commotion to avert suspicion from outsiders.
"In the end, I’m kind-hearted, willing to give the other side a chance to survive. If it were others, they would definitely go for complete annihilation." He thought to himself.
Of course, the main reason Li Yi was willing to let go was that a Heavenly General’s remnant soul posed no threat to him. Letting it go casually wouldn’t bring any trouble.
With the movement inside the Secret Realm.
Outside, the Divine Might Heavenly King laughed: "You lost the fourth round. That Female Rakshasa is already dead, not lasting even a round. It seems that the Prison Awakening Heavenly King’s plan isn’t going as smoothly as imagined. Do you still want to fight the fifth round?"
The Prison Awakening Heavenly King darkened.
Although this result was predictable, he didn’t expect that a Heavenly General couldn’t last even a round in front of that Taiyi. If using weapons and armor were possible, the situation might have been much better, at least holding on for a while wouldn’t be a problem.
"Fight." The Prison Awakening Heavenly King gritted his teeth, then threw out his King’s Weapon: "This King’s Weapon is enough to cover your stake for this round."
"However, there’s also Taiyi’s Nine Heavens Divine Water. The previous round was two jin, now it’s doubled to four jin. If you can’t pay that, there’s no way to start the fifth round of battle." The Divine Might Heavenly King said.
The Prison Awakening Heavenly King bit his teeth, sent out a Heavenly King Armor, then cobbled together the rest, even borrowing a lot from his subordinates, just to gather this amount.
"The fifth round must go on."
He couldn’t turn back now, only holding on until the Rakshasa Clan’s strong support arrives could turn the tide.
After the Divine Might Heavenly King accepted the items, he said immediately: "Since the Prison Awakening Heavenly King is so unyielding, then let the battle continue, send someone."
He knew that if he lost another round, the Prison Awakening Heavenly King would have no chances left.
The Prison Awakening Heavenly King suddenly swept his gaze behind him, and instead of sacrificing his subordinates and losing his dignity, it would be better to sacrifice one of his concubines.
Saying so, he reached out into the void, and a charming Female Rakshasa flew out immediately.
This was also a Heavenly General Level being.
"This time it’s your turn, hold that Taiyi for me." The Prison Awakening Heavenly King commanded, without mercy, throwing the concubine into the Life and Death Secret Realm, leaving her no choice despite her multitude of unwillingness.
The will of a Heavenly King cannot be defied by a Heavenly General.
The Prison Awakening Heavenly King smiled seeing this: "Then quickly start the fifth round."
"Another one to die," Li Yi observed the Life and Death Hell Secret Realm open, and couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile, then once again focused on the Female Rakshasa.
"You cannot defeat me, surrender your value and take your own life, I’ll allow your remnant soul to survive."
He chose to treat her equally, giving her a chance at life.
The Prison Awakening Heavenly King’s concubine was in panic, but upon hearing Li Yi’s words, a trace of excitement emerged.
Survival is preferable, who would willingly choose death?
In the Heavenly Realm, reaching the Heavenly General Level essentially grants immortality, it wasn’t worth losing one’s life over a doomed battle.
"Thank you, Taiyi, for sparing me." The Female Rakshasa felt as if she was granted amnesty, didn’t hesitate for a second, burned herself to ashes, leaving only a remnant soul to escape into hiding in the Life and Death Hell Secret Realm.
Li Yi, as before, accepted the inheritance, then waited for the Golden Bell to ring before casually striking out to create some noise, concluding the matter.
This way, everyone found it easy.
Only the Prison Awakening Heavenly King remained in the dark, persisting like a gambler blinded by losses, unwilling to concede.
