Emperor’s Domination

ift defeat.

“Boom!” Bai Jianchan leaped out of the pit again, no longer looking as transcendent as before – ghastly pale with bloody wounds everywhere.

People couldn’t help but pity him since he looked like a dead rabbit found in the wild.

A great genius has fallen to such a sad state.
If it was anyone else facing Li Qiye, the result might be even sadder – a death without a grave.

Bai Jianchan stood up, struggling to straighten his back and arch his chest.
His legs were shaken – was it from a lack of energy or fear?

He stared at Li Qiye; the guy was still the same as before – as average looking as can be.
The phoenix feather was still pulsing with a gentle flame.
He started feeling fear due to how inscrutable Li Qiye was – a mystery that could swallow him at any moment.

The two of them faced each other just like durign the beginning of the duel.
Albeit, the atmosphere was completely different.

At the start, Jianchan was nothing short of a deity beloved by all.
Li Qiye, on the other hand, was a nobody suffering disdain and contempt.
Now, one had their image broken while the other became a source of fear.

“Who, who are you?” Jianchan had always believed in his vision.
This time around, it had betrayed him.

“I’ve answered this already and I told you to leave or I would hang your head on the city gate.
Looks like you don’t have the chance to leave now.” Li Qiye smiled.

A solemn hush fell over the crowd.
Some felt their heart beating faster.
Just three days ago, they would have considered this to be a ridiculous and arrogant statement.
Now, the same words rendered them breathless.

Jianchan clenched his sword tighter.
He couldn’t back off or beg for mercy.
The only thing to do was fight to the death.

“Life is so unpredictable, waves rise and fall.” A spectator murmured.

“Boom!” A beam of light suddenly emerged and caused the world to spin.
A portal materialized on stage next to Baijian before anyone could react, 

“What?!” Everyone was taken by surprise.

“Rumble!” Figures appeared and landed in front of Bai Jianchan, stopping Li Qiye from approaching.
