Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7170

Chapter 7081: Life and Death!

Unexpectedly, even at this point, the young emperor could still come up with such a plan. Even in defeat, he didn’t want Li Tianming to have an easy time!

The implication was to belittle Li Tianming’s status and attribute the credit to Jiang Feiling.

While undermining Li Tianming’s imperial path, he also wanted to smear Jiang Feiling’s intentions, accusing her of establishing an independent kingdom within the Heavenly Emperor’s territory.

This was an attempt to frame Li Tianming and his group for treason!

All members of the Heavenly Emperor Sect could see and hear this scene.

This was, in fact, the only excuse the young emperor and his group could offer after their defeat.

The young emperor knew he wouldn’t die, and uttering these words now made him somewhat smug.

Everyone was shocked and tense as they watched this unfold.

Unexpectedly!

Jiang Feiling and Li Tianming returned to the Realm of Observation.

The previously enormous size difference between them had been reduced to a level of equality!

Jiang Feiling nestled in Li Tianming’s arms, appearing petite and dependent.

She slightly raised her head, her eyes fixed on Li Tianming’s handsome face, and smiled gently, saying,

“I don’t understand what you mean, but I will obey my husband in everything.”

“The path I cultivate has never harbored any ambition for emperorship; assisting my husband is the only path in my life.”

“This is my promise, and the world can bear witness!”

These words were spoken as if the young emperor didn’t exist, and they didn’t seem like a response to him at all, but rather sweet nothings spoken to Li Tianming!

The young emperor was completely ignored.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the entire Little Divine Treasury Star System was stunned.

“Such a powerful super-strong person is so dependent on Li Tianming, how did he manage to do that?”

“The Grand Madam, her eyes are practically filled with Grand Madam Li, what kind of love is this…”

“However, this statement is also the most perfect response to the young emperor, completely flawless!”

This could also be seen from the young emperor’s face, as black as the bottom of a pot.

His face was contorted, his fists clenched, he was indeed on the verge of exasperation.

The young emperor’s seemingly innocuous statement, which he had hoped would trouble the two, was easily dismissed. The two were even seen flirting in front of him, completely disregarding him!

This scene only fueled his rage!

When Li Tianming said he wouldn’t harm the young emperor, Jiang Feiling had already released the spatial cage that imprisoned him.

So, he could have left at any time, but he was determined to turn the tables.

But he had failed again!

At this moment, as the young emperor was on the verge of exploding with rage, Wei Tianqiong approached him and whispered,

“Emperor, things have come to this. We should retreat quickly. The situation is unfavorable. Once we return to the sect, we have plenty of ways to deal with Li Tianming. As a governor, he will always have to return to the sect on official business. He wouldn’t dare not return; otherwise, what’s the difference between him and declaring himself king?”

At that moment, Li Tianming no longer cared what the two were plotting; none of that mattered.

He spoke directly, his gaze sharp, “If the Grand Governor is still unwilling to accept the outcome of this battle and still refuses to let me go, I am willing to give you a chance to fight to the death.”

These words caused the young Emperor, who had been hesitant despite Wei Tianqiong’s persuasion, to widen his eyes in shock.

At this moment, everyone in the old capital paled and gasped in astonishment.

“What?!”

“Governor Li actually wants to fight the young Emperor to the death?”

“Although Governor Li is very shrewd and has the support of his wife, he himself doesn’t possess the combat power of a Heavenly Venerable…”

Currently, many members of the Divine Treasury Clan still remember Li Tianming for his one-on-one victory over the son of the Tenth-Order Dao Ancestor, the Mysterious Emperor.

Although many things had happened in between, the time hadn’t actually been long.

Therefore, they didn’t believe Li Tianming could defeat the young Emperor.

Although Li Tianming had secretly broken through two realms when meeting Xiao Jiu without anyone knowing, he still wasn’t confident he could defeat a Heavenly Venerable of the Li Clan on his own.

At this moment!

In the Heavenly Emperor Sect, within the Palace of Ten Thousand Emperors.

The disciples gathered there, who had initially thought the matter was over and were preparing to leave,

had all guessed that the young emperor would return to the Heavenly Emperor Sect in a sorry state, but his life would be safe, and Li Tianming would remain stationed in the Little Divine Treasury Star System for an extended period.

However, they were now all drawn back, their brows furrowing in disbelief at the event.

“Is Li Tianming courting death?”

“With a light-year cosmic god backing him up, does he really not know the difference between a king and a queen?”

“Although the young emperor lost this game completely, he still possesses Heavenly Venerable-level combat power. How could Li Tianming possibly fool him?”

“How could he, who has always been so clever, lose his mind at this moment!”

Jiang Beichen’s expression changed drastically, shocked. “Foolish! The young emperor is not only Heavenly Venerable-level, but also possesses the racial abilities of the Li Clan, far surpassing other cultivators of the same level!”

“Why would Junior Brother Li, having reached this point, still pull this stunt?” Yu Shang also frowned, utterly perplexed.

Inside the Emperor Heaven Pavilion!

Upon hearing Li Tianming’s words, Jiu Huang covered her forehead, speechless. “Does this shameless scoundrel who tramples on the law have to win? Wouldn’t it be better to just let the young emperor return and gain both fame and fortune? How did he suddenly become so irrational…”

She hoped Li Tianming would successfully resist the tyranny, but that didn’t mean she would blindly support him. So she expressed her disappointment without reservation.

Wei Shendao, seeing this, said with some schadenfreude, “It could have ended perfectly, but he had to pull this stunt. Li Tianming still insists on courting death. However, the premise is that he doesn’t cheat and really doesn’t let anyone else interfere.”

However, at this moment,

in the old capital!

Faced with Li Tianming’s proposal of ‘a life-or-death contest,’ the young emperor, initially shocked, became somewhat disdainful.

He faced Li Tianming and sneered, “You coward hiding behind a woman, how do you think you can fight me to the death? You’re just relying on a woman. In the battle, once you lose, who can guarantee that your woman won’t intervene?”

Li Tianming wasn’t annoyed at all, but smiled and said, “When I say fight to the death, I mean a one-on-one duel between you and me. In a life-or-death situation, there will be no third person.”

The young emperor trembled upon hearing this, his eyes turning bloodshot, and asked, “Is this true?”

“Really?” Li Tianming nodded with a smile.

“You said it yourself, with so many people witnessing it. No one forced you, so don’t regret it later!” The young emperor’s expression gradually turned cold.

“Enough with the nagging, are you going to fight or not?” Li Tianming asked impatiently.

“If you’re looking for death, of course I’ll grant your wish…” the young emperor said coldly.
