Death Grip
"Damn it! At this rate, the experts from the Four Domains in the Divine Monarch Realm will be trampled underfoot by this beast!" The White Tiger Lord's face was dark, his eyes blazing with fury. He had to admit the strength of the Purple Gold Tiger; it truly swept through the Divine Monarch Realm without rivals.
At this moment, the Purple Gold Tiger had already won four matches in a row. If it won this last match, then the Eastern Region would achieve complete victory in the battles of the Divine Monarch Realm.
As for the next two rounds, even if they lost them all, it wouldn't matter because they had already won two rounds. Even if they lost the next two rounds, the Four Domains would at most tie with them, and a tie would mean that the Four Domains would leave in disgrace.
"People from the Four Domains, do you want to continue? If so, hurry up and send someone up. Our Purple Gold Tiger from the Eastern Region is already getting impatient. If you don't send someone up soon, the Purple Gold Tiger will go home for dinner!"
"Haha, look at them; they must have been scared out of their wits by the Purple Gold Tiger. How could they have the courage to come up now?"
"That's right, it's only natural for them to be frightened by such a powerful Purple Gold Tiger."
The people from the Eastern Region discussed among themselves, not hiding their mockery towards the other Four Domains.
"Damn Eastern Region! I will make you understand the consequences of offending us!" The White Tiger Lord's gaze turned extremely cold, and a powerful wave of energy emanated from him. This was due to his inability to control his internal power in his anger.
"Bai Yun Hai, you are the last person from our Four Domains to take the stage. The success or failure rests entirely on your shoulders. If you can defeat that beast, then we can secure victory for our Four Domains in the Divine Monarch Realm competition. If you lose, then there will be no need to continue with the subsequent matches because it would just be a waste of time. So understand that you carry all our hopes on your shoulders," said the White Tiger Lord as he glanced at the remaining five Divine Lords before finally fixing his gaze on Bai Yun Hai.
"Rest assured, I will do my best!" Bai Yun Hai's expression became serious as well. He felt the power of the Purple Gold Tiger and did not have absolute confidence in winning; he could only do his best.
"No, you cannot just do your best; you must absolutely defeat that Purple Gold Tiger! Otherwise, how can we show our faces leading the Four Domains?" The White Tiger Lord exclaimed loudly.
"But..." Bai Yun Hai wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the White Tiger Lord.
"No buts! I know that Purple Gold Tiger is very strong. However, I have prepared two items for you. This is my White Tiger Divine Armor; I am lending it to you for now. You can rest assured about its defense; even I find it difficult to break through its defenses, let alone a mere Purple Gold Tiger," said the White Tiger Lord as he handed over the White Tiger Divine Armor to Bai Yun Hai.
"This... this is such a precious item; I can't accept it!" Bai Yun Hai exclaimed in surprise.
"Stop talking nonsense! Take it! Also, I am temporarily lending you my White Tiger Divine Weapon! No matter what, you must slay that Purple Gold Tiger for me. Is there a problem?" The White Tiger Lord shouted.
"No problem!" Bai Yun Hai quickly replied as he took the two powerful treasures. With these two items, if he couldn't win against his opponent, then he might as well die.
At that moment, while the White Tiger Deity was handing everything over to Bai Yun Hai, the Purple Gold Tiger stretched out its paw and yawned, saying, "I'm tired. I'm not fighting today; let's compete again tomorrow!"
"Ugh..." The Purple Gold Tiger's words nearly made White Tiger Lord spit blood. He had already stirred up Bai Yun Hai's momentum and was waiting for him to strike and eliminate the Purple Gold Tiger. Unexpectedly, the opponent suddenly declared they wouldn't fight anymore, which made White Tiger Lord feel an urge to bang his head against a wall.
"No way! If you don't fight, that counts as a loss for you!" White Tiger Lord shouted.
"White Tiger Lord, are you still going to have any shame? The Purple Gold Tiger has already fought four consecutive matches; it naturally needs rest. Otherwise, with so many of you taking turns to fight it, no matter how strong it is, it won't be able to handle you all!" Xing Chen said with narrowed eyes.
"In any case, we must finish the match today; otherwise, even if you Eastern Region lose!" White Tiger Lord insisted stubbornly.
Upon hearing his words, even Xuanwu Jun, Qilin Jun, and Vermilion Bird Lord showed slight embarrassment on their faces. After all, as a dignified lord, White Tiger Lord's behavior was indeed somewhat inappropriate.
"Alright! No problem. If you want to finish today’s match, that's fine. Let your next contestant also fight consecutively for four matches before facing the Purple Gold Tiger; that would be a truly fair duel," Xing Chen said calmly while looking at White Tiger Lord.
"You..." White Tiger Lord was left speechless and didn't know what to say because if they did that, even with Bai Yun Hai possessing the White Tiger Divine Weapon and White Tiger Divine Armor afterward, he would definitely not be able to defeat the Purple Gold Tiger.
"What’s wrong? Are you scared now? If you're scared, then stop dawdling here and wait until tomorrow when the Purple Gold Tiger has recovered before letting them duel," Xing Chen said lightly after glancing at him.
"Fine, I'll wait. In any case, the final outcome will be the same; you can escape for a moment but not for a lifetime!" White Tiger Lord said resentfully.
Xing Chen and the others didn't say anything further and directly left Sun Kingdom, returning to Sword Kingdom's Hate Emperor Palace.
"Purple Gold Tiger, why did you suddenly stop fighting?" Upon returning to Hate Emperor Palace, Xing Chen looked at the Purple Gold Tiger on his shoulder.
"Woo..." The Purple Gold Tiger whimpered twice and then communicated through soul waves: "That White Tiger Lord gave that person two powerful Divine Weapons; I'm not his opponent."
"Oh? Did he even contribute the White Tiger Divine Weapon?" Xing Chen asked with slight confusion.
"Yes, it's the White Tiger Divine Weapon. I can't confront it directly right now, so I can only use this method to temporarily evade," the Purple Gold Tiger nodded in agreement.
"The White Tiger Divine Weapon is indeed tricky, but unfortunately, you cannot use the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon. Otherwise, I could lend you the Azure Dragon Divine Sword," Hate Emperor sighed and shook his head.
"I can use the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon. Although I am not in my transformed state right now, I can still use the Divine Weapon," Purple Gold Tiger quickly replied.
"In that case, that makes things easier. As long as you use the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon, defeating the opponent will not be a problem," Xing Chen nodded.
"Ugh..." Purple Gold Tiger repeatedly nodded, excitedly waving its two paws in the air.
"Alright, since that's settled, let's go with that!" Xing Chen said calmly.
"Wait a minute, I just thought of something. If we win this round of the Divine Monarch Realm competition, then there won't be a need for the next two rounds. After all, as long as we win two rounds, the Four Domains can't do anything to us," Meng Xiner suddenly interrupted.
"Why? If we can win, wouldn't it be better to win as much as possible?" Yun Qing asked, somewhat confused.
"Meng Xin'er, you don't need to worry about these matters; I'll handle it," Xing Chen glanced at Meng Xiner and frowned slightly.
"Xing Chen, your body does not allow you to participate in the competition. So even if the competition in the Emperor Realm can proceed, the competition in Jungjing absolutely cannot continue!" Meng Xiner said firmly.
"I know my own body; I will be fine for now. Alright, that's enough. Everyone should go rest!" Xing Chen said slowly with his eyes half-closed.
The others did not linger any longer and left for their respective quarters, leaving only Meng Xiner and a few others behind.
"What are you all looking at me for?" Xing Chen asked in confusion when he saw the four women staring at him.
"Xing Chen, you should listen to Meng Xin'er. It is indeed not wise for you to engage in combat right now; otherwise, if things go wrong, the Fate Jade Pendant will manifest," Xueqing said to him.
"Xing Chen, I also think you should support Sister Meng Xin'er," Xu Yuxi nodded in agreement.
"Young Master Chen, Sister Meng Xin'er is doing this for your own good; you should listen to her," even Yuer did not defend Xing Chen this time.
"What? Are you all trying to team up to pressure me?" Xing Chen was taken aback for a moment before smiling.
“Xing Chen, we are really doing this for your own good! What will happen if the Fate Jade Pendant affects your mind again?” Meng Xiner said with a hint of anxiety on her delicate face.
“Alright, I know you mean well. I’ll listen to you. I definitely won’t participate in this competition, is that okay?” Xing Chen replied with a smile.
“Good, you promised me. You must not go back on your word this time!” Meng Xiner nodded.
“I definitely won’t go back on my word,” Xing Chen assured with a serious expression.
“Then we’ll be leaving now. Make sure to rest well,” Meng Xiner said, and together with Xueqing and the others, they left.
As Xing Chen watched Meng Xiner and the others disappear, the smile on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a flash of Black Light in his eyes, and beads of cold sweat began to form on his forehead.
“Fate Jade Pendant…” Xing Chen gritted his teeth to suppress any sound, but his expression revealed his pain.
After a night of silence and enduring another difficult night, the bloodshot veins in Xing Chen's eyes had increased, and he felt an overwhelming fatigue in his body. However, he had to force himself to endure the exhaustion and head to the Sun Kingdom.
In the morning, after struggling with the Fate Jade Pendant for another night, Xing Chen slowly opened his eyes, revealing an unmistakable look of fatigue on his face.
