Chapter 1078 - 1078: How Do You Want to Die
Facing the line of Evil Immortals, Brother Cheng didn't immediately choose.Instead, he asked his teammates behind him in a 'broad-minded' manner.
"Who do you think we should pick?"
Since he'd be fighting alone later, he figured he should give his teammates a sense of participation early on.
Lai Ping and the others didn't expect him to hand over such a significant decision to them.
If they chose the wrong person and picked someone too strong, they'd be doomed in the first match.
However, if Captain Jiang chose by himself, given his previous unpredictable style, he might mess things up again.
The few of them tensed up, forced to take on this 'arduous' task of selecting a deathmatch.
Who should they pick?
To them, it was like deciding whether to cut the blue wire or the red wire on a time bomb.
Except, there were a full 18 options here.
And due to their low realm, the four of them couldn't discern the specific realm of these 18 people, nor who was in the Eighth Layer or Ninth Layer.
Sweat almost immediately started to seep from their foreheads and backs.
"How should we choose?"
Lai Ping anxiously transmitted his thoughts to the other three.
Bian Xiu glanced at one of them: "Choose him; he said earlier that he's the weakest."
At once, Meng Shi shook his head.
"No, no, no, Evil Immortals are always devious; how can we trust what they say?"
Zhong Man agreed with this sentiment.
"I strongly suspect that the so-called weakest is actually the strongest, and he's just saying that to trick us!"
Bian Xiu retorted, "But at least that proves he's in the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer. It's better than randomly choosing and accidentally picking someone from the Emperor Realm Ninth Layer!"
Lai Ping suggested, "How about we ask Captain Jiang and see who's in the early stage of the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer?"
Zhong Man and Meng Shi shook their heads rapidly.
"No way. Captain Jiang will definitely mess around; we can't count on him to be reliable."
If Brother Cheng knew that the teammates who were praising him earlier were evaluating him like this behind his back, he might feel quite hurt.
Bian Xiu suddenly had a bright idea.
"Right, didn't someone mention breaking through to the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer just a month ago?"
When he said this, the other three also perked up.
"Yes, yes, someone did say that."
"Then they must be in the early stage of the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer, and they can't be too strong."
"Right, let's choose him!"
The four quickly reached an agreement and simultaneously pointed to a young man in blue with a pale complexion, holding a Round Plate Dao Artifact among the eighteen.
"We choose him!"
Sect Leader Jiang actually seemed considerate.
"Are you sure?"
All four nodded simultaneously: "Sure!"
Brother Cheng, being the open-minded captain he is, immediately confirmed the choice.
"It's him!"
The selected young man wasn't angry at all; instead, he laughed out loud.
"Jie jie jie, it seems my luck is the best; they really considered me the weakest!"
"Fellow Daoists, this first match is mine, and I'm afraid there won't be a second match."
"Forgive me, forgive me!"
The other Evil Immortals began to grumble with dissatisfaction, their disappointment evident.
"Damn, they actually picked Bo Xuan!"
"Looks like we won't be needed at all."
"Falling into Bo Xuan's hands is worse than falling into ours."
Upon hearing these discussions, Lai Ping, Bian Xiu, and the others' faces drastically changed.
Could it be that this person isn't in the early stage of the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer?
Seeing their expressions filled with panic and confusion, the Evil Immortals across the way burst into laughter.
Some even laughed gleefully.
"Bo Xuan is indeed in the early stage of the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer; he didn't lie to you."
"But, he's a peerless genius!"
"Even your mid-stage Emperor Realm Eighth Layer captain wouldn't be confident of defeating him."
"Moreover, Bo Xuan never leaves a complete corpse; he goes all out relentlessly, hahaha..."
Even an Emperor Realm Eighth Layer mid-stage couldn't beat him?
Lai Ping, Bian Xiu, and the others' hearts sank completely.
The four stared at Captain Jiang's back, as if watching him walk toward death, eyes filled with despair.
"If we had known, we would've chosen someone else."
"Sigh, what do we do now?"
"We really shouldn't have chosen this person!"
Facing Bo Xuan, Brother Cheng slowly conjured the Ice-Clear Dao Sword.
Then, a faint smile curved his lips.
"How do you want to die?"
The entire arena fell silent.
Such words, laden with extreme contempt and immense confidence, are indeed common before a battle.
But the problem is, did the person saying them get it wrong?
Not to mention the Evil Immortals across, even Lai Ping and Bian Xiu's teammates were dumbfounded.
Boss, did you just say what I think you did?
In such a situation, you're still taking the initiative to provoke? Are you out of your mind?
"Hahaha!"
"Hahahaha..."
The Evil Immortals couldn't help but burst out laughing again, tears nearly coming from their eyes.
"What did he just say?"
"Hahaha, did you hear?"
"He asked Bo Xuan how he wants to die."
"Oh my God, how did someone like that survive till today?"
"That's why they say the Primordial Immortal Realm folks are just a bunch of sheltered butterflies."
"They've never seen blood, have no real experience, just a bunch of ignorant weaklings."
Bo Xuan, facing Brother Cheng directly, wore an amused expression.
"You ask me how I want to die?"
Brother Cheng nodded with a smile, "Yes, since you bring so many Celestial Dao Points, I'm in a good mood; I can offer a more considerate service."
"You've got guts!"
Bo Xuan almost admired it; he had never seen anyone as arrogant as Jiang Cheng.
He had already decided not to make things easy for Jiang Cheng.
So, he mockingly retorted, "I want to die with a pierced heart; can you manage that?"
"Of course!"
Brother Cheng nodded approvingly: "I have excellent skills and assure you a heart-piercing strike."
The Evil Immortals across laughed uproariously once more.
As for Lai Ping, Bian Xiu, and the others, they were already holding their heads, unable to bear watching further.
This was not only despairing but also embarrassingly awkward; what was this about?
"I'm really curious how you developed such confidence."
Bo Xuan summoned the Round Plate, beckoning Brother Cheng with a finger.
"Come on, I'm looking forward to it."
Brother Cheng remained polite, confirming once more.
"So I can really come up?"
"Come!"
Whoosh!
The Ice-Clear Dao Sword vanished from its original spot, reappearing behind Bo Xuan.
A massive hole appeared in his chest.
It wasn't just the heart; his entire chest was defenselessly empty.
Swish!
Blood mixed with various matter gushed out, but Sect Leader Jiang had already retreated to the back, even professionally conjuring an umbrella.
He didn't want to be splattered with blood.
Bo Xuan looked down.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
He seemed unable to accept reality.
Before Jiang Cheng attacked, he was dismissive.
Thinking he could casually block and then crush this 'ignorant' guy through counterattack.
But after Jiang Cheng actually made a move, there was nothing more for him.
