The full name of the life-and-death battle proposed by the Sha Clan wizard is: Life-and-Death Battle of Destiny.
This is a very ancient tradition of the sand people.
The Sand Tribe entrenched in the great deserts of the Western Regions have never been truly unified since ancient times. The major tribes occupy different oases, forming a situation of local separatism.
On the surface, these tribes obeyed the Cangjin Palace in Shabak City, but in fact they obeyed the instructions but did not listen to the propaganda.
Different tribes allied with each other and often fought for resources.
Countless sand people stained the yellow sand with blood for this reason.
Hatred can be inherited and continued. Unless one party is completely destroyed, it will be like strong wine stored in a cellar, becoming thicker and thicker as time goes by, until it cannot be dissipated at all.
The brutal wars between tribes caused the Sand People to continuously lose blood.
On the verge of annihilation!
Under such circumstances, the Western Region Buddhist Sect, led by the Cangjin Palace, came forward and summoned hundreds of tribal leaders.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu recently to read and catch up on new books. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www.yeguoyuedu.com is available for Android and Apple.]
They established a covenant with the Sand tribe in Shabak City, ending the endless vendetta that lasted for thousands of years.
From then on, the battles between the sand people tribes were completed by the "destiny battle of life and death".
Each of the two tribes sends one or more representatives to compete in a designated venue until death!
When the Sha Clan had a direct conflict with the Xihai Sect, the former could not break through Zhensha City even after all their blood was shed, so they could only rely on hunting cultivators to sneak into Da Ying City and cause trouble to save some face.
The other is to launch a life-and-death fight against the monks guarding the wall.
"Sand people, barbarians."
Kou Shihai said in a deep voice: "They are despicable and stupid. They always want to get things they shouldn't have."
"We Great Ying monks have never refused the normal challenges from the sand people."
In the eyes of the Xihai Sect, the Sand Clan are like mantises blocking the train. If they were not concerned about Buddhism in the Western Regions, they would have been crushed to pieces long ago.
The Xihai Sect has always looked down upon these barbarian people from a condescending manner.
How could the war cultivators in Da Ying City be afraid of their challenge?
Of course, this refers to normal challenges.
There are two main types of life-and-death fights launched by the sand people against Da Ying. One is a challenge by name, and the other is an invitation to fight without a limited target.
What Wang Chen received was the former one.
If it were another combat cultivator, as long as the challenger's rank was not much higher or he had problems and was unable to fight, there would be no rejection!
This is the pride that belongs to the Xihai Sect and the Da Ying monks!
Over the past hundreds of years, many Da Ying monks have died in battles of life and death.
But Sand Wizards lose far more often!
"If you refuse..."
Kou Shihai patiently explained to Wang Chen: "Then you must be prepared to be criticized or even questioned by the sect."
Because the life and death fight proposed by the Sha Clan wizard cannot be kept secret forever.
Once they refuse, they will definitely come back to fight again.
When the matter is exposed, the news will be immediately sent back to the sect.
The reaction from the sect can be imagined.
The guarding Celestial Master of the largest immortal sect in the world of mountains and seas was actually afraid of the barbarians and did not dare to challenge him.
What use do you have?
Not to mention whether the position of Heavenly Master can be kept, it is normal to be expelled from the sect!
Although Kou Shihai didn't say it clearly, Wang Chen knew it very well.
There are many people in Daying City waiting to see his joke. If he really loses the sect's reputation, there will definitely be a lot of people who will add insult to injury.
Wang Chen's reputation of killing sand witches and hunting cultivators some time ago is bound to disappear.
Chief Heavenly Suppressor Luo Han would probably be happy to see him suffer misfortune!
"I see."
Wang Chen nodded and said, "Then accept the challenge."
The sect provided him with shelter and help, and in turn he had to obey the sect's rules.
Unless you leave, there is no possibility of resistance.
The most important thing is that Wang Chen is not afraid of fighting!
“So best.”
Kou Shihai breathed a sigh of relief: "Junior Brother Wang, with your ability, you don't need to worry about Sha Wu at all."
During this period, Wang Chen often controlled the flying sword, and the sound of sword energy and thunder shook the sky, frightening the sand tribe and making the hunting cultivators no longer dare to approach.
Even Kou Shihai felt inferior to this momentum.
Although he knew that Wang Chen relied on the power of the Seven Star Pavilion Array, it was impressive to be able to do this.
In addition, Wang Chen once killed the famous Blood Demon Purple Witch, so his real strength is not as simple as the third floor of the Purple Mansion!
The Sand Witch Tuqi who challenged Wang Chen was at the fifth level of the Purple Mansion, the same as the Blood Demon Purple Witch.
Wang Chen could kill the Blood Demon Purple Witch, so how could he lose to Tucci?
"But we have to beware of their schemes!"
Kou Shihai thought for a while and said, "I have a mysterious parasol here, and I will lend it to you for your duel."
Kou Shihai's Xuanyang Umbrella is a top-quality spiritual weapon with extremely high defense and can resist blood curse witchcraft. It is very suitable for dealing with sand wizards.
It's just that this spiritual weapon was refined to a very high level by Kou Shihai. After Wang Chen borrowed it, he could only exert some power, and the effect was not too great.
But life can still be saved at critical moments.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Wang Chen declined politely: "My magic weapon is enough for the time being."
He is considered to be a semi-swordsman at the moment. With the quasi-magical flying sword of Chi Ni in his possession, and various Dzogchen-level spells, how can he be afraid of the sand witch on the fifth floor of the Purple Mansion?
Previously, I just didn't want to follow the other person's routine, so I had the idea of rejecting.
As a result, his opponent's tricks were too deep, so he had no choice but to accompany him to the end!
As for Kou Shihai's kindness, Wang Chen also understood it.
After all, one more spiritual weapon and one less spiritual weapon will not have a big impact on his strength.
"Well."
Kou Shihai knew that Wang Chen was not that kind of arrogant person, so he nodded and said, "Then I will help you find a suitable battlefield."
According to the rules of a life-and-death battle, the Sand Clan has designated a challenger. As the challenger, Wang Chen has the right to choose the battlefield.
Of course, the battlefield for the duel can only be in the wilderness, the Gobi Desert, or on the top of a mountain peak.
Wang Chen had not been in Da Ying City for a long time and was not very familiar with the surrounding terrain. Kou Shihai carefully selected three locations for him to choose from.
Wang Chen finally chose the Bishui Lake.
Bishui Lake is located more than a hundred miles north of Daying City, and the lake area covers an area of dozens of miles.
But this large lake is a saltwater lake. Although the lake water is green and clear, it is bitter and salty and cannot be drunk. The surrounding area is saline-alkali land, so no one has settled there.
After determining the battlefield, Kou Shihai personally responded to him with a letter of challenge.
At the same time, the news that the Heavenly Master Wang Chen guarding the Qixing Pavilion would have a life-or-death showdown with the Sha Clan wizard Tu Qi spread throughout Da Ying City in a short period of time, as if it had grown wings!
Some people are surprised, some are curious, some are gloating, and some are looking forward to it.
Some people also started to take action secretly.
It's just that the ups and downs in the city have nothing to do with Wang Chen. He spent three days in seclusion in the meditation room of Qixing Pavilion.
Adjust your own condition to the best.
Then he climbed to the top of the pavilion, threw his flying sword and flew towards the direction of Bishui Lake!
Before leaving, Wang Chen asked the maid in the pavilion to warm a glass of spiritual wine for him.
