The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1387 - 1388: I Challenge You

Don’t even mention letting Wang Wei Wu enter the attic; if he dares to break into the Mountain of Wraith, he’ll immediately be slain.

"You!"

Wang Wei Wu was so furious he almost spat blood.

Originally, that Ye Mo was merely an ant in front of him, even sent to the punishment chambers, and on the verge of execution, but now, not only has he not been executed, he’s become Elder Mengxin’s adopted son, his status skyrocketing, even those on the heavenly leaderboards have to treat Ye Mo politely.

This is absolutely unacceptable to him, especially since Ye Mo once said that when he came out of the punishment chambers, he would return Wang Wei Wu’s words in full measure.

Now, Ye Mo’s status still surpasses his.

In terms of strength, Wang Wei Wu absolutely cannot allow Ye Mo to surpass him.

"Ye Mo, since you’ve become an elite disciple, I officially challenge you to go to the Life and Death Arena, do you dare?"

Wang Wei Wu shouted loudly.

Immediately, everyone’s expressions changed, even the disciples who came with him were shocked by Wang Wei Wu’s move.

Life and Death Arena, as its name implies, is an arena where life and death are decided. Often, when irreconcilable conflicts arise between disciples, they can apply to enter the Life and Death Arena.

However, typically, those who challenge each other in the Life and Death Arena are prominent figures of the Wraith Clan; small characters are just minor scuffles.

Moreover, it’s usually the weaker who challenge the stronger. Yet now, the Divine Venerable Four Souls, Wang Wei Wu, the fourth on the leaderboards, is challenging a newly joined elite disciple of the Wraith Clan. If not for Ye Mo being adopted by Mengxin, no one would even know who Ye Mo is.

Furthermore, upon entering the Life and Death Arena, a life-and-death rules agreement must be signed. Once signed, even if Wang Wei Wu kills Ye Mo, Mengxin cannot trouble Wang Wei Wu.

Rules are absolute, transcending all else, and no one can resist.

"Ye Mo, don’t accept; you’re not Wang Wei Wu’s opponent yet."

Dantai Zanglian immediately said.

"What? Didn’t you say you’d return my words in full measure? Go ahead, as long as you defeat me, you can stand proudly above and completely crush me, even kill me."

Wang Wei Wu coldly laughed; his words were meant to provoke Ye Mo into accepting the challenge, though he was sure Ye Mo wouldn’t dare accept it.

"Wang Wei Wu, what’s the point of challenging Ye Mo? How about a fight with me instead?"

Qin Yong stepped forward and shouted.

"Heh, since you’re seeking death, I’ll oblige you; I accept your challenge."

Ye Mo said faintly.

Hua!

Instantly, everyone was shocked. This challenge is clearly a death sentence for Ye Mo. No sane person would accept such a challenge—it’s a completely one-sided fight.

Yet, Ye Mo actually accepted, leading many to believe he was utterly mad.

"Wang Wei Wu’s combat strength is already comparable to an ordinary Divine Venerable Six Souls, and he’s the fourth strongest on the leaderboards. Among the leaderboards, only three can defeat him, even if Elder Mengxin empowers him, it won’t be enough to defeat Wang Wei Wu."

"The Wraith Clan hasn’t been this lively for a while; I’ll definitely watch this epic battle."

The surrounding disciples started discussing fervently.

"Since you’ve accepted, come sign the rules agreement."

Wang Wei Wu was afraid Ye Mo would change his mind and immediately said.

"Wait!"

Ye Mo said.

"What? Planning to back out?"

Wang Wei Wu’s voice was full of mockery.

"Since I’ve accepted your challenge, I won’t back out. However, as for the time, let’s make it ten years from today."

As soon as Ye Mo spoke, many secretly cursed him as shameless. A month delay is typically the best for an agreed duel, yet Ye Mo dared to say it will be ten years later.

"Ten years? Why not make it a hundred years?"

Wang Wei Wu laughed mockingly, confirming that Ye Mo truly didn’t dare to face him.

"A hundred years? That works too."

Ye Mo replied.

"You!"

Wang Wei Wu was too furious to speak; he realized this guy never intended to duel him.

"That Ye Mo is truly cunning; he accepted Wang Wei Wu’s duel, yet saved his own life. In a hundred years, whether either of them is alive is uncertain."

"Indeed, if someone challenges me, I’ll use this trick too—I’ll set it a thousand years later. If you’re not playing, get lost, haha."

Everyone started discussing.

Even Dantai Zanglian couldn’t help but smile slightly. This Ye Mo is clever—you want a duel? Fine, we’ll fight ten years later. Saving face while the future strength is uncertain.

"Ye Mo, if you’re too scared, just admit it. But now, you’re proposing to fight ten years later—obviously to save face. This Life and Death Arena fight is off."

After Wang Wei Wu said this, he turned to leave.

This time, however the situation, his aura dominated Ye Mo; after all, Ye Mo doesn’t dare to engage in the Life and Death Arena.

"Hold on!"

Ye Mo said once more.

Wang Wei Wu frowned, stopped, and turned, saying: "What else do you want? I have no time to play word games with you here."

"I now formally challenge you—one month later, we’ll fight in the Life and Death Arena!"

Ye Mo shouted.

"What? Is that Ye Mo crazy? He clearly could avoid the disaster, yet he reversed to challenge Wang Wei Wu, and in just a month?"

"Does he think he can defeat Wang Wei Wu in a month?"

"But why didn’t he dare accept Wang Wei Wu’s challenge before?"

"That’s where you’re wrong; this is transforming passive into active. Ye Mo is initially inferior to Wang Wei Wu, rejecting the challenge is reasonable. However, Wang Wei Wu’s strength far outstrips Ye Mo’s, so refusing the challenge is utterly disgraceful."

Everyone around couldn’t help but admire Ye Mo’s trickery.

Even Dantai Zanglian and the others were astounded, as they had heard Ye Mo admit his strength was much weaker than Wang Wei Wu’s. Ye Mo’s rejection of Wang Wei Wu’s challenge was the wise choice.

Yet, Ye Mo unexpectedly reversed and challenged Wang Wei Wu. What on earth is Ye Mo thinking?

"Wang Wei Wu, if you don’t dare, you can refuse, or imitate me and propose ten years later."

Ye Mo coldly smiled.

"I must admire your courage; perhaps it’s just to gain some attention here. Since you seek death, I’ll oblige you."

As Wang Wei Wu spoke, he materialized an array in the air with the agreement inscribed: Ye Mo and Wang Wei Wu, one month later, duel in the Life and Death Arena."

With the agreement created, Wang Wei Wu merged a drop of blood essence into it, saying: "Hurry up!"

Ye Mo also pricked his finger and merged a drop of blood essence into it, thus enacting the rules agreement—one month later, their duel would result in one death.

"Ye Mo, I’ll pass this news to the Mountain of Wraith. Elder Mengxin will definitely emerge once she knows, surely alerting all Supreme Elders. In that battle, I’ll surely become famous and attract the attention of numerous Supreme Elders, maybe even taken as a disciple by them. Just wait for your death."
