Master Jing hadn’t had ti to respond before Master Dang couldn’t help himself.
He had also thought earlier that it was a very foolish action, so he felt he needed to explain, "Using a large hamr to differentiate between Stone Giants and Highland Giants is inherently stupid, as neither is particularly afraid of large hamrs... There’s clearly a better way to test them."
While they were arguing here, Lu Er’s face had already begun to turn green, "Both sides have lost combat strength, can’t that count as an end?"
In their duel, there was no agreent on what would happen after a win or a loss; it was simply a one-on-one death match.
This kind of scenario is rare in the Earth Realm, as people always demand stakes, as if fighting is only aningful with them — why fight to the death when there are no stakes?
But in the Kunhao Plane, such scenarios are not uncommon. In fact, there are stakes—people bet their dignity, their honor, their inner breath.
Is it laughable? Maybe, but for cultivators, isn’t cultivation all about a life of free-spirited joy?
So whether this battle ends now or not is not very important.
But Lu Er believes it can be considered over — if the Golden Core High Stage is treated in ti, maybe his foundation won’t be greatly damaged.
Otherwise, the Loose Cultivator Alliance’s treatnt fee for him will increase substantially.
But Second Alliance Master Lan He smiled and said, "It’s not over, the one who dared challenge the boss must die."
Isn’t that a joke? Many people gave him a sideways glance. That guy doesn’t even ntion self-detonation; he’s already burned to such a state, and you still expect him to kill a Golden Core High Stage?
Okay, the Golden Core High Stage looks quite miserable now, but... that’s not sothing he can handle, right?
However, at this mont, Jin Dadao praised, "Good idea, Stone Giants are notoriously hard to kill. Even if only a head remains, it’s not easy to completely destroy them, while this Golden Core... is finished for today."
Upon hearing this, everyone imdiately understood that the Golden Core High Stage was now basically only capable of breathing—instead of self-detonating like the Stone Giants, he could still barely move, which was better than the Stone Giant, but truly killing the Stone Giant would co at a great cost.
In the end, Master Lan He’s words indicated that the Hunting Alliance plans to fight desperately against the Loose Cultivator Alliance in a mournful state, seeking a kill count — in any case, future matters will be handled by Ten Directions Platform and other forces, so there’s no need for too much concern.
Feng Jun and the Ten Directions Platform side showed no reaction — we’re just here to watch, you all fight your hardest!
They indeed have no fondness for the Loose Cultivator Alliance, but the Stone Giant... that’s not one of our people, it wouldn’t be missed if dead.
But Master Banshan loudly shouted, "Alright, let it end like this. The next round... it’s our turn to choose an opponent, right?"
"Boss, restrain yourself," Master Lan He ca forward, "Aman... I’m quite familiar with him too, but he’s an outsider. You saved his life back in the day, so he promised to repay you."
Actually, Aman... he’s not very familiar either. In the Hunting Alliance, fewer than four people know of Aman’s existence, including the Grand and Second Alliance Master as well as two people beside Master Banshan.
All other masters don’t know of Aman’s existence... Maybe Qingyang Patron knows a little, but not much more.
In short, Aman was encountered by Master Banshan while wandering in an alternate plane. At that ti, Aman and his master suffered a sudden attack, barely escaping with their lives.
Master Banshan is a person with great personal charm—in fact, he’s quite straightforward, thinking if he can help... he must help.
He helped, resolving the predicant of the two, and then Aman’s master felt there was no way to repay, so sent Aman forth.
Master Banshan is truly not soone who seeks rewards for good deeds, but Aman felt he was also saved and genuinely wanted to follow him. Master Banshan thought, well then you follow along.
Over the following decades, Aman intervened twice, helping him avert two fatal crises. Master Banshan stated that one more ti, and they would owe each other nothing further, irrespective of whether Aman wants to return to his holand or rent a stall in the Endless Sea to do business, he would support either decision.
In Linhai Square Market, there are indeed many alien plane cultivators doing business, but to avoid causing too much of a stir—or rather not wanting to make locals uncomfortable—they simply keep a low profile.
However, Master Banshan knows that Aman doesn’t actually rember where his holand is.
He wasn’t on the Stone Giant’s plane when he t Aman and his master, so he plans to leave Aman a way out. Today, it has fought so fiercely, he cannot stand back and watch it being killed.
At this mont, however, a faint roar echoed from the flas, "I can continue!"
Master Lingyun heard this and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, "Indeed, Master Banshan has good fortune."
The people of the Heavenly Heart Platform are like this, speaking whatever cos to mind.
But when these words reached the ears of Master Banshan, there was a sense of strangeness—are you asking to fulfill Aman’s loyalty and righteousness?
In the heat of the mont, he couldn’t care much, his body lunged forward, raising his hand and gesturing to Lu Er, "Then let’s not bother about them, co on, co on... it’s our turn now!"
Master Liu Er’s expression turned unsightly. Now everyone was fighting in full force, and there was no way to hold back the power; most critically: this was a battle to the death.
Master Lan He wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but Master Banshan turned around and shouted angrily, "Stand aside! When it cos ti to attack Kongming Mountain, we will still need you as the main force. Today, boss will help you clean up a few nuisances first!"
Just listening to these words, it was clear that today he intended to kill... or at least severely injure several Golden Core enemies.
Master Lan He dared not say anything more, while Master Hongyao lightly coughed and then cupped her hands, "Master Banshan, I..."
"Enough," Master Banshan directly interrupted her, "I’m already very happy that you can co help punch a few. But soone like is not used to hiding behind female cultivators. If I fall, please, for the sake of past friendship, take care of Hunting Alliance a bit."
Hearing this, Master Liu Er could no longer hold back. Although their side had another Golden Core High Stage, a desperate Master Banshan was not sothing that could be blocked in a one-on-one fight.
So he turned his head to look at Master Dang, "Dang Executor, apologies, but we’re going to have an all-out battle."
"Haha," Master Banshan laughed out loud, "A bunch of cowardly rats, in the end, you still need many to bully the few."
Master Dang remained expressionless and coldly spat out two words, "Not allowed!"
"Haha," Master Liu Er actually also laughed, then turned his head to look at Master Banshan, "Master Banshan, do you see this? This is the attitude of the Four Sects and Five Wutai towards the Loose Cultivators. They let us fight to the death, yet we must do it one-on-one!"
"At this point, do you still not understand? Loose Cultivators must unite, or there will never be a day to rise... I hope you’ll seriously reconsider my suggestion from the other day."
The Loose Cultivator Alliance wasn’t all about taking a hard line; there had been proposals to form alliances, but the key issue was who would lead.
Master Banshan sneered, "With things as they are, you’re talking about this with ? If I agreed with you, how could I account for this to my brothers? Since you dare to co provoke... you should be prepared to fall."
Then he glanced downward, the flas on Aman’s body had diminished quite a bit. You could vaguely see that only half of it remained, with everything from the chest down having vanished.
But its fla-covered arms were clawing at the earth and stone, inching forward, and its target was the golden core master concentrating on recuperating.
The golden core master knew it was crawling, but because of the distance, he didn’t mind and continued to ditate. However, only he knew how he truly felt inside.
Master Banshan’s heart bled, shouting to the opposing side, "Liu Er, do you not dare to fight? Fine, I shall now leave. My remaining life..."
He raised his finger to point at the golden core masters on the other side, speaking fiercely, "I, Banshan, swear here that in my remaining life, I will definitely exterminate you golden cores, leaving no family, no chickens nor dogs behind!"
"Do you wish to leave? Do you really think you can?" Master Liu Er waved, speaking with a cold smile, "Surround him!"
Then he turned to look at Master Dang, smiling apologetically as he spoke, "Master Banshan’s oath, Executor, you’ve heard it too... Involving family, leaving not a single dog or chicken, such a vicious manner of speaking, it’s simply an evil of the worst order, a cri worthy of execution. Please forgive us that we cannot follow the agreed upon terms any longer."
Do you take us for children? Dang Executor completely ignored his words—just a mont ago, you were even slandering us!
He pulled out the Yin Yang Banner and waved it casually, speaking lightly, "Elder Lu!"
The Yin Yang Banner really was a powerful weapon against Loose Cultivators. Although this attack was of a wider range rather than targeted, among the four surrounding Dang Executor, soone’s expression slightly changed.
Elder Lu had co from the Platform of Ten Directions, he hadn’t experienced the battles of the Endless Sea, but being in charge of laws and discipline at the Ten Directions, his combat strength was imaginable.
He raised his hand and pointed, a white light shot straight at the Golden Core who had turned pale—it turned out to be a Sword Cultivator—The Platform of Ten Directions actually had Sword Cultivators!
The Golden Core was only second-stage, the Yin Yang imbalance was rather chaotic, and with a shake of the Yin Yang Banner, the spiritual energy imdiately began to stagnate a bit.
Seeing the flying sword coming, he couldn’t even use his body techniques in ti. He barely dodged the fate of being beheaded but couldn’t avoid heavy injury, losing an arm directly!
Master Liu Er saw this and was utterly infuriated, "Dang Executor, what do you an by this?"
Master Dang didn’t bother to respond, directly turning to look at Aman on the ground.
But Elder Lu spoke up, giving a cold snort, "What are you? Dang Executor speaking with you is already giving you plenty of face, yet you talk about Loose Cultivators like this and that... as a third-in-command of a not even well-regarded small organization, just speaking with you is a lowering of status!"
"As for taking action? Haha, as witnesses to both sides of an agreent, if soone wants to break the rules, especially in this many versus few manner, we indeed must administer a slight punishnt!"
