Chapter 5837: The Showdown

When Liusmoke, a formidable member of the Undying Dark Willow Clan, made her appearance, the non-dying warriors erupted with excitement, their cheers echoing like a roaring sea.

Clearly, Liusmoke held a prominent position within the Undying Dark Willow Clan, possibly even leading the younger generation.

As she entered the stage, the young disciples of the Undying Clan showed excitement on their faces, void of any worry. It was evident that, in their hearts, even someone as formidable as Aguta couldn't defeat Liusmoke.

"I aim to challenge the shameless individuals of the human race, not you!" Aguta coldly declared, his gaze fixed on Liusmoke.

Although Aguta was seething with anger, he didn't dare to be arrogant in the face of Liusmoke. When they arrived, they had been warned that none of the young disciples could defeat her. This was a matter to be won through cunning, not strength.

Even someone as arrogant as Aguta couldn't defy this command. Losing the match was predetermined. If he were to kill Long Chen, causing trouble for them, it would at least give them an explanation to their superiors.

But if he were to challenge Liusmoke, leaving the superiors' orders as mere words, the consequences would be severe.

Listening to this immature argument, Liusmoke's face carried a mocking expression. She was about to refute him when she noticed Long Chen gazing at her with a mischievous smile. Her heart skipped a beat, and her cold face flushed slightly.

Long Chen's playful demeanor was something she had long grown accustomed to, but beneath that playful façade, she saw something different in his eyes. From Long Chen's gaze, she detected a hint of longing and tenderness, something she was witnessing for the first time. She momentarily forgot about mocking Aguta.

In that moment, Liusmoke's heart raced, and she tried to maintain her composure, but her face betrayed her by blushing uncontrollably.

Seeing Long Chen's mischievous look, Liusmoke felt a mixture of embarrassment and anger. If it weren't for the public setting, she would have certainly given Long Chen a good scolding. What's the meaning behind that smile? Is he mocking me?

Observing Liusmoke's embarrassment and confusion, Long Chen knew that she was on the verge of losing her cool. He quickly spoke seriously, "Let me handle this. Why use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken? If you personally step in, it would be elevating his status too much."

Seeing Long Chen speaking seriously, Liusmoke regained her composure. She responded, "This guy is much stronger than the old man from earlier. He dares to challenge you, which means he has a divine weapon that can counter your tricks."

Although Liusmoke didn't continue, the implication was clear: in a battle against Aguta, Long Chen might not be able to rely on his tricks. His chances of winning were quite low.

Long Chen had been relying on tricks throughout the previous battles. He managed to "outsmart" the white-haired man, but Liusmoke had seen that Long Chen didn't possess the Emperor's Miao's power. Without that power, defeating Aguta, who had observed Long Chen's tactics in the previous fight, would be very difficult.

They had already won three battles, so this one's outcome wasn't critical. However, if Long Chen lost to Aguta, it would be a significant problem, as Aguta seemed like a ruthless person. Liusmoke didn't want Long Chen to take unnecessary risks.

Long Chen was left speechless. Long San's entire life had been one of warfare, and he only used tricks when bored. Otherwise, he relied on pure strength.

"What are the odds?"

Liusmoke was still concerned, as Aguta was exceptionally strong. The phrase "几几开" referred to the probability of success, with "几几" representing the odds.

"Let's go with 30-70," Long Chen replied after some contemplation.

Upon hearing Long Chen's response, Liusmoke nodded slightly. If there was a 70% chance of success, she was willing to entrust this battle to Long Chen.

Seeing Long Chen's serious expression, Liusmoke felt relieved and disappeared, rejoining Chu Yao.

"30-70, does Long Chen really have a 70% chance of winning?" Huaiyushan asked, her face filled with worry.

According to Liusmoke, Aguta's strength far surpassed that of the white-haired man. While Long Chen had defeated the white-haired man, he had relied on his divine weapon for that victory.

Aguta was aware of Long Chen's divine weapon's capabilities and still challenged him, indicating he had a plan. If Long Chen couldn't rely on tricks, the fight would depend on their raw power. Even though Long Chen was strong, he was still just an ordinary Heaven Saint. How could he compete with the Emperor's Miao's power?

"Don't worry. Long Chen is a straightforward guy. He doesn't lie about small matters or exaggerate in important ones. If he says he has a 70% chance, he's being conservative. He's willing to accept Aguta's challenge, and even if he can't win, he definitely won't lose." Liusmoke looked at the arena where Long Chen stood confidently.

Chu Yao smiled and said, "Maybe you've all misunderstood Long Chen's intentions."

"Misunderstood?" Both Liusmoke and Huaiyushan were confused, unable to grasp Chu Yao's meaning. However, Chu Yao just smiled and remained silent, her beautiful eyes fixed on Long Chen in the arena.

At this point, all eyes were on the arena. The Undying Clan's powerful members were no longer nervous because this battle was not about the honor of the Undying Clan but rather a dispute between the Dark Eye Dream Lotus Clan and the human race.

However, the relationship between the Undying Clan and the human race was not amicable, so no one showed excessive enthusiasm. The entire arena was focused on Long Chen, their expressions filled with hope. But in the eyes of that beautiful woman, there was a hint of worry.

She watched Long Chen and then shifted her gaze to Liusmoke, who couldn't tear her eyes away from the man in the arena. She sighed silently; she was about to leave seclusion, and this was not good at all. It was a disaster.

Having lived for countless years, she could easily see that Liusmoke had developed genuine feelings for the man in front of her. However, this was a taboo in the Undying Clan.

Moreover, Liusmoke's status was too special. If not handled carefully, this matter would stir up turmoil within the Undying Clan, which was currently facing external and internal threats. It couldn't afford any instability.

Even though she was immensely powerful, she couldn't help but feel anxious. At this critical moment, they had to focus on the immediate situation.

Buzz!

Long Chen and Aguta stood a hundred feet apart, gazing at each other. The arena beneath their feet constantly flickered as it fortified itself.

Witnessing this scene, the powerful members of the Undying Clan were taken aback. The arena was constantly self

-reinforcing, indicating that a fierce battle lay ahead.

The arena, which was the embodiment of the Undying Clan's spirit, adjusted its strength according to the combatants' capabilities to withstand different attacks.

It was easily damaged because it was primarily used for disciples to spar, allowing them to test their strength against each other while minimizing injuries. But now, with the constant reinforcement, it was clear that the upcoming battle would be intense.

As the arena continued to flash, everyone held their breath, ready to witness this extraordinary battle between two geniuses.

"30-70? Does that mean Long Chen has a 30% chance of winning and a 70% chance of losing?" Aguta finally spoke. His aura gradually increased, the Emperor's Miao flames dancing. The terrifying pressure began to spread in all directions.

"No, you've misunderstood," Long Chen shook his head.

"Don't tell me you think you have a 70% chance of winning; that's a pretty cold joke," Aguta sneered.

"You've misunderstood," Long Chen shook his head again.

Everyone was stunned. What did this "30-70" mean?

Long Chen extended three fingers slowly, "When I said '30-70,' I meant that I will... in three breaths' time..."

Long Chen then formed a "7" with his fingers.

"...kill you seven times."

Boom!

Before Long Chen's words had even settled, Aguta charged at him like an enraged lion, wielding his diamond club. He roared, "Damn humans, today you will pay the price for your arrogance."
