“I admit defeat!” Emanuel’s voice rang out throughout Death Valley.
“Eh?” Linley was stunned.
Emanuel was actually so shameless as to directly admit defeat in the midst of a life-and-death duel. “Can it be that this Emanuel doesn’t know that there are only two possible outcomes of a life-and-death duel? One is fighting to the death, while the other is the victor sparing the life of the loser!”
Admitting defeat in a life-and-death duel was meaningless!
“He admitted defeat?” The many patrolling warriors and Elders were all astonished. As for Delia, Bebe, and the others, they grew excited.
“Linley, since Emanuel has admitted defeat, just spare him.” An Elder said loudly. But even he couldn’t break the rules of a life-and-death duel. Only Linley could make the decision to spare Emanuel.
“Right, Linley. He’s admitted defeat. Just forget it.” The other Elders spoke out as well.
At present, in their hearts, they had already begun to consider Linley as an expert on the same level as them.
Although Emanuel felt humiliated in his heart, he still knew very clearly: “This Linley’s body is so incredibly powerful, and he has a Sovereign artifact for soul defense. Although the Sovereign artifact is damaged, it still isn’t something I can break through.”
Emanuel couldn’t see any hope of victory for himself.
He didn’t want to die!
“Spare him?” Linley’s dark golden eyes had a cold light flash through them. Suddenly, a terrifying howl rang out, and Linley’s body slashed through the skies, charging towards the distant Emanuel. Showing no mercy at all!
“You forced me into a life-and-death duel, and now you want me to spare you? In your dreams!” Linley’s furious roar echoed nonstop throughout Death Valley.
Emanuel immediately turned and fled, but Emanuel didn’t leave the confines of Death Valley. If a person was to truly violate the laws of a life-and-death duel and flee out of Death Valley, the entire Azure Dragon clan would chase after him, and he would, without any question, die.
Thus, he could only dodge and evade within Death Valley.
Linley pursued at high speed.
“You won’t be able to escape.” Linley, seizing the opportunity, once again unleashed his Blackstone Space, directly capturing Emanuel within the pull of his gravitational sphere. Emanuel’s speed immediately slowed dramatically, and Linley laughed coldly as he charged over.
But right at this moment…
“Swoosh!” Emanuel threw out a ray of white light from his hand.
“Crackle…” Where the white light passed by, space split apart.
Linley didn’t dodge at all, directly sending a palm to smash towards that light. “BANG!” Linley just felt his right hand completely go numb. His draconic scales split apart, and fresh blood began to leak out. That white light, however, was completely destroyed as well.
Despite this, Linley didn’t slow down.
“Linley, you can’t kill me.” Emanuel was growing frantic now, but within that Gravitational Space, his speed was far inferior to Linley’s.
“Die, then.” Linley came for him.
“STAY YOUR HAND!” A furious roar sounded out. Linley felt as though this roar bored directly through his mind, causing his head to grow slightly dizzy. Linley couldn’t help but pay attention to the air above him. And in the air above…
A man dressed in an azure robe with many embroidered patterns was descending, his long azure hair fluttering in the wind.
His gaze was like thunder, and he was staring directly downwards.
“Patriarch!” Emanuel was overjoyed. He wouldn’t have to die.
“Patriarch!” Those Elders, upon seeing this person, all immediately bowed respectfully.
“Patriarch!” Those thousands of patrolling warriors all immediately bowed in respect as well.
Linley’s heart trembled. “Patriarch?” However, seeing that Emanuel was not too far away, and how he had already relaxed, the murderous intent emerged once more in Linley’s heart. “This Emanuel cannot be spared!” With a ‘swish’, Linley charged over.
Emanuel’s face changed dramatically. “Linley, you…” He never imagined that Linley would dare disobey the orders of the Patriarch.
What he didn’t realize was…
Linley had joined the Azure Dragon clan less than a century ago, and so he didn’t have a clear idea of what the Patriarch of the Azure Dragon clan represented, nor did he feel much fear towards the man. He wasn’t like Elder Emanuel and the other Elders. In their eyes, the Patriarch was an invincible expert.
The commands of the Patriarch were not to be disobeyed.
Linley’s right draconic claw landed mercilessly towards Emanuel, and within the range of that gravitational pull, Emanuel couldn’t dodge at all.
“CLANG!” Suddenly, another draconic claw appeared, clashing directly with Linley’s scale-covered right hand. Linley just felt his entire right arm tremble violently, and his fingers immediately lost all feeling. That draconic claw, with a flipping movement, trapped Linley’s own right hand.
Linley raised his hand to look. It was the awe-inspiring Patriarch!
“Wasn’t he over there just now? How could he be so fast?” Linley didn’t dare believe that the Patriarch’s speed could be so incredibly fast.
“I told you to stay your hand, and yet you still attack? What audacity!” The Patriarch’s gaze was like ice as he stared at Linley. The Patriarch’s draconic scale covered right hand grabbed Linley, and Linley actually had the feeling that wasn’t able to resist at all.
This was the first time…
The first time Linley had encountered a person whose body and physical strength completely, utterly outclassed his own!
The number one expert of the Azure Dragon clan…the Patriarch, ‘Gislason Redding’!
