The most powerful battle between Tang Ling and Tang Long was on the brink of exploding and no one seemed to be able to stop them.
Both of their auras were so fierce and powerful that even commoners could feel it. Even if it was not the Life Or Death Ring, these two would have battled it out until either one was dead.
Without any declaration whatsoever, they rushed towards each other.
Han Xing responded with an ugly look.
Even Ro Xin, who had used up all her wits and methods to barely get an A clearing rating, covered her mouth in shock when she saw the scene unfolding just as she reached the exit.
Boss Huang finally stood up. The situation had come down to this. No matter the threats, no matter who was above him or what the others might do to him, he believed he must do something.
Other than him, many other figures, both openly and secretly powerful, who held actual authority had their own plans too as the urge of doing something was strong in their hearts.
Tang Ling and Tang Long’s battle happening right there and then would steer things astray, and the people must be prepared for it as soon as possible!
…
The people were waiting for the two most powerful teenagers to clash in an earth-shattering battle, but did it happen?
No!
Something strange happened just as the fight started. Tang Ling and Tang Long were instantly frozen to their spot with their dashing posture. They looked like their bodies were simply stopped mid-air.
What the…
The commoners were hoping for a show, but what they welcomed was a strange and overwhelming scene! There must be some powerful figure who had made a move!
Which powerful figure was bold enough to ignore the rules of Darkness Port and publicly disrupt the Life Or Death Ring?
On the other hand, the other powerful figures saw what happened!
Force Stop and Constrain!! These two talents utilized the two most powerful laws—the laws of time and space!
Any Purple Moon Warrior that had either one of the talents would be equal to having attained supreme power, so who was this powerful figure who possessed these two talents at the same time?
The colosseum fell into silence! No one expected this many things to happen during the first day of the Life Or Death game!
Under the dumbstruck gaze of the audience, a strange figure suddenly appeared in the center of the colosseum. No one knew where the figure came from.
The strange figure had a black mantle on, but under the mantle, his upper body was so robust that it was no longer human. It looked like a square box covered in black cloth while his lower body was relatively normal. In short, his overall physique was unusually strange.
In spite of his strange body, under the hood was a strange-looking copper mask. Even though the copper mask was smooth and flat and had only two holes and a line for the eyes and mouth, the weirdness remained apparent.
Under the curious gaze of the audience, the strange mantled figure walked to Tang Ling and Tang Long’s side, standing there quietly. He turned a blind eye to the audience’s suspicious gaze and looked at the Simpering Pierrot.
“Is their fight here considered the official battle of Life Ot Death?” asked the strange figure. His voice had an obvious machine-like quality, which caused many people to have goosebumps.
However, the Simpering Pierrot did not seem frightened as he showed the appropriate reverence to the figure and said with a bow, “According to the rules, the fight between the two of them here more or less matches the standards of the Life Or Death Ring.”
“More or less? So, if I disrupt this battle here, will I be offending Darkness Port?” The strange figure’s voice remained a pain to the ear but his tone sounded colder.
The Simpering Pierrot immediately answered, “No, no, no, my dear respectful Mr. Mask, I’m just saying that they more or less match the standards of the ring. Strictly speaking, the Life or Death Ring has its own tradition of the promised battlefield. Fighting elsewhere would make the entire competition lose its color.”
“Hmm?” The copper-faced man sounded a little calmer, but the powerful figures in the audience seats were sweating nervously as they wondered where the copper-faced monster came from.
Tang Ling and Tang Long were still frozen in the air. The ability had been used for a while now and despite the extended duration, the copper-faced man was still able to speak leisurely.
This was something only the most powerful masters of this era could do and the number of the masters of such high level would not exceed a hundred. Was this copper-faced man one of the masters?
If one of the masters really came all the way down here, he alone would be worthy of offending the entire Darkness Port and getting away with it.
Even the powerful figures in the audience knew about the existence of the highest level masters, so how could a quick-witted person like the Simpering Pierrot not know about them?
The Simpering Pierrot was used to seeing stormy scenes. He understood the copper-faced man’s meaning and something of his own thought also came afloat in his mind.
He squinted his eyes in delight and smiled like a clown. “My respectful lord, if the rules say that it will be an aerial battle, it will be an aerial battle. If it is a naval battle, it will be a naval battle. If a group battle is decided, there will be no one-on-one battles. These two little kids aren’t familiar with the rules, so…I think this battle can’t be considered as the official fight.”
After that, he stepped aside before he gave the copper-faced man a meaningful glance.
“Does your opinion represent the will of the whole Darkness Port?” The copper-faced man took a step forward and arrived beneath Tang Ling and Tang Long.
“Yes.” The Simpering Pierrot did not hesitate to answer at all. Even if the Island Master was around, he would have agreed to the Simpering Pierrot’s methods.
Not only did the Simpering Pierrot’s method solve the tricky situation at ease and protected the profits of Darkness Port, but Darkness Port could also stay out of the conflict because the person who stopped the battle was not affiliated with the city.
However, those with a sane mind would never want Tang Long and Tang Ling to fight this early on because both of them were connected to the Legacy of the Dragon Army! This particular matter would be tricky, and in order to make things less complicated, at least a little more time must be given to Tang Ling for him to grow to the same power level as Tang Long.
Otherwise, the Dragon Army would splinter and there were many intentional parties in the world.
The Simpering Pierrot understood the situation too. Of course, he would be happy to see it happen.
On the contrary, after the copper-faced man asked the last question, he jumped up and grabbed Tang Ling and Tang Long by their feet with both his hands respectively.
The power that was cast on them was beyond their comprehension. Tang Ling and Tang Long could not even move their eyeballs as if they were separately sealed in two different amber fossils. How could they possibly move?
When their ankles were grabbed by the strange man, the two of them sensed an obvious rage from the man.
What was the man so mad about?
The same thought popped up in both Tang Ling and Tang Long’s minds. The strange man held them in both his hands leisurely as though he was dragging two gunny sacks.
The strange man did not have the intention of respecting these two top young geniuses at all.
“I, Copper Face, have a personal grudge with Tang Ling and Tang Long! I don’t care if they want to fight to the death, but I’m here to get my revenge. My actions represent my own will and mine only. I have nothing to do with anyone or any faction. The audience here today in the colosseum will be witness to my words,” declared the strange copper-faced man as he held the two in his hands.
It was a very wise declaration. At least, it eased those who were worried and wanted to step up to stop the fight.
After all, the strange copper-faced man showed overwhelming powers and his powers would be strong enough to dissuade those who wanted to intervene. His own intervention would not be used as an excuse to start an unnecessary conflict either.
On top of that, his identity remained a mystery. At least, no one in the colosseum was able to recognize him and he also stated that he had a personal grudge with Tang Ling and Tang Long.
Whether the personal grudge was real or not, after the declaration of his neutral stand, no faction or people with sensitive identities would be further involved, so the current fragile balance of the world would remain as it was, for now.
At least, if Boss Huang had stepped up and stopped the fight, he would give his stand away and people would side him with Tang Ling because insightful people knew that the latter was still weaker than Tang Long.
Should he step up, the world would have an excuse to fall into chaos.
Boss Huang’s identity was known to all and his stand did not represent his personal will anymore. All the important figures present at the colosseum knew that.
Both Tang Ling and Tang Long did not know their fight would have raised that many concerns, but after they heard what the copper-faced man said, a struggle arose in their hearts.
In the next moment, the copper-faced man chuckled eerily and said, “I’ve always wanted to take both of you out. Do you know that I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time?”
He raised Tang Ling and Tang Long high up in the air and smashed the two of them to the ground violently.
At first, someone thought it was just a farce to stop the conflict. No matter what the copper-faced man wanted to achieve, as long as Tang Ling and Tang Long were stopped, things would come to an end.
However, with the violent smash that shook the entire colosseum, the copper-faced man did not hold back at all. He looked like he really wanted to kill the two of them. His actions made many believe that he really had a grudge against them.
Gasp!
Boss Huang gulped strongly. The slam was harsh, too harsh, to be exact, but then his face did not look heavy at all. Instead, he looked rather at ease as if he was not worried about Tang Ling’s life.
Madam Qing was the first to fire a suspicious gaze at Boss Huang after she noticed his reaction. “Huang Dao, do you have something that you want to tell us?”
“I’m not holding anything back. I just didn’t get the chance to talk.” Whenever Boss Huang thought of the copper-faced man’s true identity and what he said before in Dvesha Moha, he could not help but furrow his brows.
If he revealed the answer, the shock would be even bigger than the fight between Tang Ling and Tang Long or the death of either one of them.
“Who’s that guy?” one of the black-robed people asked. He had been curious for a while now.
“Wei Dao, I’m willing to talk, but are you brave enough to listen?” Boss Huang did not say that in a joking tone.
The person known as Wei Dao was stunned for a moment before he said, “Huang Dao, do you think I’m a coward?”
“Fine, coward or not, he told me something which I must tell everyone here. As for who he really is, none of you will have the slightest idea, he is…” It was then that Boss Huang gasped and uttered a name.
The moment the name escaped his mouth, the whole room, including Gu Dao who was busy eating and the calmest, was massively stumped.
“Impossible! This is impossible!” Wei Dao’s eyes grew red instantly. His reaction almost drove him out of the room and down to the center of the colosseum.
