Episode 17: The Phantom Blue Mansion Chapter 15: A Battle for Life and Death
The sun is rising. Scarlet-colored vision spilled through the mist into the Grand Canyon. Linley also walked out of the house.
“Nice weather.” Linley took a deep breath, fresh air inhaling into his chest.
“Whoosh!” A silhouette jumped down from above, “Boss seems to be in a good mood.” Bebe chuckled. Bebe precisely lived on the second floor of this small building.
“It’s good, it’s been eighty years since I came to the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range, and I haven’t even fought properly. Haven’t killed anyone. It’s time to kill and fight soon. The mood is certainly good.” Linley smiled.
Bebe was puzzled, “Boss, what do you mean by that?”
“There’s no rush. You’ll know in a moment.” Linley said.
Bebe couldn’t help but skim his lips when he saw Linley acting mysterious. At this time, Delia also walked out of the room, and Bebe immediately greeted him, “Delia, Boss said that he’s about to fight and kill someone. Do you know what’s going on?”
“There is such a thing?” Delia turned her head towards Linley in confusion.
Linley smiled. Suddenly, he heard the sound of wind. Immediately, he tilted his head to look.
Several silhouettes flew down in the sky, all wearing the Green Dragon Clan’s standard battle armor, and Linley smiled faintly, “They’re here!” Bebe and Delia both looked up in confusion as well. Only three green-armored warriors flew over.
“Linley!” The first one recognized Linley at once. Apparently the Elder Corps had passed on the order. Even Linley’s appearance was clearly told since.
“Everyone. What’s the matter?” Linley opened his mouth.
The green-armored warrior at the head of the group let out a dark sigh, he didn’t understand how a Mediate God could offend the high and mighty Elderlands. However, he still spoke, “Linley, Lord Emanuel has proposed a life and death battle to you. The Elder Council has approved it, so come with us.”
“Go now?” Linley was somewhat surprised.
The Elder Corps passing this application had long been expected by Linley. However, going to the battle immediately was something that was in Linley’s expectations.
“Life and death battle. It was held at noon today. Right now, it’s just for you to go over early.” That green-armored warrior said, in his heart he still had some sympathy for Linley. After all, in his opinion ……
Linley was the bottom of the clan. It was similar to them, the patrolling warriors.
But sympathy was sympathy, and it was impossible for them to help.
“Boss, what’s going on?” Bebe said eagerly.
“Linley, what is this life and death battle?” Delia also said eagerly.
Linley laughed as he looked at them, “There’s an Elder of the Emanuel Lands in the family who insisted on killing me. Luckily, Elder Gavi was present at the time, but he still proposed a life and death battle to me. Not to die or not to rest.”
“Elder?” Delia was worried.
“Boss, are you sure?” Bebe inquired.
They were all clear about Linley’s strength. But the other party was a family elder after all. In the eighty years they had been here, they were also aware of the family’s Elder Corps. To enter the Elder Corps. The first step was to reach the Seven Star Demon level.
Linley’s divine sense transmitted, “Delia. Bebe, don’t worry, if I wasn’t completely sure before the clan baptism. But after the clan baptism. I’m still certain.”
Delia was immediately relieved that she trusted Linley.
“Linley, he’s trying to kill you, could it be for the Ring of the Coiled Dragon?” Delia’s divine sense transmitted.
Linley nodded. The divine sense transmitted, “I also didn’t realize until now that the Discordant Dragon’s Ring, this main divine artifact. Surprisingly, it belongs to the old ancestor of my Green Dragon clan. At a glance, it was recognized by that Emanuel.”
Bebe and Delia both drifted off.
The lure of a Soul Defense Master God artifact was something they understood, so it was no wonder Emanuel was like this.
“Linley. Can we go now?” The green-armored warrior said.
Actually, this green-armored warrior wasn’t in a hurry. This life and death battle wouldn’t be held until noon, such as that Elder Emanuel was just at his own residence and would only go over when it was time, but with Linley’s low status, he would need to go over early.
“Doesn’t it start at noon, what’s the rush?” Bebe said in dissatisfaction.
“Three bits. What are you guys?” Several silhouettes flew over at great speed. It was Baruch and a few other family members who saw the green armored warriors coming over. There was also a burst of worry. These green-armored warriors had definitely come over for something important.
“Elder Emanuel, to engage in a life and death battle with Linley, the Elder Council has also passed it.” The green-armored warriors said indifferently.
Baruch and the others choked. Eyes filled with disbelief.
“Elders and Linley?” None of them could accept it.
“How can a hallowed Elder fight Linley to the death?” That Hazard said angrily. Linley had returned to the land for a period of time, and the status of their Yulan lineage had risen quite a bit, and he liked Linley as a junior.
Elders versus Mediate Gods. It was too unfair!
“The elders group passed. Cannot be changed.” The head green-armored warrior said indifferently. “Unless you ask the Clan Chief to stop it.”
The highest status of the Green Dragon Clan was undoubtedly the Clan Chief. As the son of the old ancestor ‘Green Dragon’. When the Green Dragon was alive, he naturally spent a great deal of effort to cultivate his son. His strength could be imagined.
In the family. One word was worth nine.
“Linley. What’s going on?” Tarosha, Tierin, and the others flew over as well. Immediately, someone narrated to them. This Tarosha and the others were also shocked. The family elder was actually going to fight Linley to the death.
“Don’t worry, everyone.” Linley said blandly, then looked at the green-armored warriors, “Let’s go.”
The lead green-armored warrior nodded.
“Can we go watch the battle?” Delia even asked.
The lead green-armored warrior looked around at the crowd. Nodding his head, he said, “This is Linley’s last battle anyway, so if you guys want to go go along to watch the battle.” With that, the three green-armored warriors directly flew up with Linley.
Delia, Bebe, Baruch, and even Tarosha and Tirin immediately followed.
The news that the family’s Elder and a Mediate God were going to engage in a life-and-death battle was little known to the crowd at the bottom of the family, but it spread very quickly through the top of the family, and the group of Elders in particular soon all knew about it.
“This kid Emanuel, he’s going to fight a family junior to the death? I didn’t hear it wrong, right?” The green-colored short-haired strong man frowned.
“Uncle, it’s absolutely right, Emanuel is really going to fight a Mediate God to the death.” Another tall brown-haired man said. These two were both wearing green armor embroidered with golden patterns. Draped in cloaks dyed with special magic patterns.
Both were family elders.
“Go. Go take a look.” This green-haired strong man said.
“There are quite a few people going to see it today.” The brown-haired man laughed.
“Did the matriarch go?”
“The Matriarch probably doesn’t know yet. I heard that the Matriarch was with the Envoy of Yu Lan yesterday, and this time the Envoy of Yu Lan came as if he had something more important.” The brown-haired man said with some doubt.
“Important matter, it won’t be a war with the eight great families, right?” The green-haired strong man was a little worried. Worry.
“It’s not clear. The patriarch will know when he returns.” The brown-haired man shook his head.
The two of them flew towards the ‘Death Valley’, the place the Green Dragon Clan specialized in ‘life and death battles’, as they talked.
Death Valley, there were quite a few people who had come here today. Apart from the senior members of the clan, Linley and a few others, there were a large number of people who knew about this matter. There were also a large number of patrolling warriors who knew about this matter and had nothing better to do than to come over and watch.
Family elders versus a median god!
This kind of thing, within the family. It was a rare sight in a billion years.
“That Emanuel has a really big rack.” Bebe said in dissatisfaction. “We’re all here. But he hasn’t shown up until now. Maybe it’s really as that green-armored warrior said. Waiting until noon to show up.”
Linley smiled faintly as he stood at the edge of Death Valley, “Bebe, don’t be anxious.”
“Linley, you are confident.” Tarosha laughed.
“Back in the Green Dragon Clan, I had wanted to live a longer quieter life land. It seems impossible.” Linley swept his gaze across Death Valley. At this moment, several clan elders had already arrived, but of course more were the green-armored warriors.
There were thousands of green-armored warriors. Those green armored warriors were all talking.
“I heard that the Median God who was challenged by the elders today. It’s called Linley, which one of those guys is Linley.”
“It’s that one, the brown-haired one. There’s a teenager wearing a straw hat standing next to him.” Immediately, someone pointed it out. This challenge was among the patrolling warriors. Linley’s information was spreading quickly.
“It’s a pity that a Median God is going to die today.”
“I also don’t know why Elder Emanuel would do this to a Mediate God, he doesn’t have to go through so much trouble when he calyxes to kill a Mediate God.”
“The Elder has also gone a little too far. Linley, he’s also powerful and has the guts to come over.”
It was natural to sympathize with the weak. Special patrol warriors were similarly at the mass tier in the clan. Belonging to the bottom tier. In the bottom of their hearts, they were already somewhat fearful of the towering elders, and now they naturally sympathized with Linley and sided with him.
Of course, at most, in their hearts, they were on Linley’s side. On the surface, they wouldn’t dare do anything.
“Elder Emanuel is here!” Someone suddenly shouted.
Immediately, the crowd tilted their heads to look, and Linley and the others also heard that noisy voice and immediately tilted their heads to look. Only to see in midair. A bald man in elder attire, ‘Emanuel’, flew down along with several other elders.
“Finally.” Linley looked towards him.
Emanuel also looked towards Linley, “Still has some guts.” There was a hint of a smile at the corner of Emanuel’s mouth. His gaze also noticed a flash of color in the ground of the ring in Linley’s finger. He couldn’t help but feel excited in his heart.
He knew. That was a main divine artifact!
“It’s fortunate that he didn’t escape last night.” Emanuel had ordered close monitoring above the Grand Canyon yesterday. It was to prevent Linley from escaping.
“According to our family rules. When an irreconcilable conflict is encountered. Then we engage in this life and death battle. No regrets in death! Today, the two sides in the battle of life and death are Emanuel and Linley!” An elder hovered in mid-air and said aloud The entire Death Valley was silent. No one spoke out.
“Both of you, get ready.” This elder said indifferently.
This Immanuel floated up and flew to the center of the Death Valley, then he looked disdainfully at Linley.
“Boss, go for it and kill that elder.” Bebe’s divine sense transmitted.
“Linley, be careful.” Delia said.
Linley, however, smiled faintly and flew directly to the center of Death Valley. He and the distant Emanuel confronted each other in midair. The entire Death Valley, whether it was the elders watching the battle. Or the patrolling warriors all quieted down.
“Begin.” That elder droned.
Linley’s face instantly became grim.
“Linley, as long as you concede. I can spare you from dying.” Emanuel towered over him. Smiling faintly, he said, as if he had Linley’s life in his hands.
“Give in?”
Linley smiled indifferently, “This is a life and death battle today, either you die or I die.”
There was an outcry. Both the elders and those patrolling warriors were somewhat astonished. It seemed to them that Linley was bound to die. It was already merciful of Emanuel to say that. Linley had actually refused.
“Hmph. That’s you looking for death.” Emanuel’s face went cold.
Suddenly Emanuel frowned. Slightly glancing at Delia, Bebe, Xixe and a few others standing at the edge of Death Valley. These few people, there’s something familiar, it seems like I’ve seen them somewhere.” Emanuel swept this thought. But in an instant, the thought was screened out. After all, this was a moment of great battle, and there was no room for distraction.
“Boom!” Energy erupted.
Immediately, a large number of earthly dragon scales appeared on Linley’s entire body. Greenish-golden dragon scales covered his entire body, and hideous spikes emerged from his back and forehead. The dragon’s tail, which shimmered with metallic luster, fluttered slightly.
“Come on!” Linley’s cold, dark golden eyes stared at his opponent.
“It’s him?” Elder Garvey was taken aback. Shocked.
“It’s him!” The faces of the nearly ten elders watching the battle from afar all changed.
The floating shadow that was rumored to have come from Tearloe Island’s land had been seen by the senior personnel of the Green Dragon Clan, and they also knew …… that there was an expert of the Green Dragon Clan in hell. It is a dragonized transformation with hideous spikes emerging from the body.
This kind of transformation, the clan’s children had never had it before. After all, the Four Divine Beasts family descendants, under normal circumstances. How could they drink the dragon blood of a ninth level magical beast ‘Spineback Iron Armored Dragon’ to invoke the bloodline in their body?
The originally confident Emanuel’s face changed.
“It’s him! It’s the one who appeared on Tearloe Island. The powerful clansman in hiding!” Emanuel’s heart was in turmoil. Then he glanced at Delia, Bebe and the others who were watching the battle. “Yeah, I remembered where I saw a few of them, it was on that floating shadow! When that giant cube was split off, those guys. It was right next to that clan!”
