Chapter 1643: Fight to The Bitter End

“Mr. Chen, these are all your acquaintances. You don’t need me to introduce them, do you?” The Northern Wilderness overlord said with a hint of amusement in his voice.

Chen Xiaobei his eyebrows. “They are the third task that you’re giving me? That’s refreshing!”

“So, can you guess what the subject matter is?” The overlord asked.

“That’s very obvious! These two families loathe me! They wish they could skin me alive! This third task is for me to fight them to the death, am I right?”

The overlord shook his head. “You can’t exactly say that! I don’t want you to die; on the contrary, this task is for your own good! First of all, you are still in your salad days. Most people in Northern Wilderness Starfield will not accept you! You see, I’ve brought all of the Temple’s core members and some governors from some very important planets here today! Defeat both the Lu Family and the Tie Family, and your prestige will be given credence. From today onwards, no one would ever dare dismiss you for your age as a young Temple Master!

“Secondly, revenge breeds revenge; when will there be an end to it? If you can settle this animosity between you and these families once and for all, you, your family and your friends will be able to live in Northern Wilderness Starfield without worries! If this bad blood is unresolved, when your family walks on the street, someone might attack you! The meal that you share with your friends might be poisoned! That is why in order to secure your position as the Temple Master of the South Town Star Temple and for you to gain a firm foothold in Northern Wilderness Starfield, you cannot withdraw from this fight!”

The overlord spoke calmly and frankly; he had obviously prepared this speech beforehand.

He made it sound as if he really was concerned for Chen Xiaobei, and was paving the road for him.

But Chen Xiaobei knew very well that this was all to fool him!

Everything the overlord had talked about was built on the basis of Chen Xiaobei winning!

If Chen Xiaobei wins, he would definitely be building a reputation for himself and be able to secure his place in Northern Wilderness Stafield.

But! What the overlord failed to mention was what would happen to Chen Xiaobei if he lost.

The answer was simple!

If Chen XIaobei loses, the Lu Family and Tie Family’s hatred for Chen Xiaobei would mean a macabre death for him and all of Chen Xiaobei’s friends who were present!

Worse still, the Bei Xuan people in the secret space would have to live in hiding for eternity, unable to set foot on Earth and the Northern Wilderness Starfield lest they be hunted and killed!

The overlord said nothing about that dreadful consequence, claiming only that he was doing this for Chen Xiaobei’s own good!

Only a fool would believe such nonsense!

Chen Xiaobei saw through this but he played along. “Your Eminence is so considerate of me. It is my honor to oblige!”

“So, are you brave enough to take on this task?” The overlord asked.

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “I am, but let’s lay down the rules first! What are the restrictions? Can I bring my backup or do I have to fight on my own?”

Before the overlord could speak, Lu Tianheng bellowed, “You can bring whatever backup you want! At the end of the day, you and all of the people related to you are going to die anyway! Whoever you bring into this fight, I will slaughter!”

Ding!

[Cultivation: Middle phase of Ethereal Cultivation; Lifespan: 1,264 years; Health: 800,000 Combat power: 800,000]

Chen Xiaobei did a quick sweep of the old man’s competency.

800,000 combat power!

That was 150,000 more than Six-Eared Macaque who was the strongest in Chen Xiaobei’s group!

On the premise that the Chaos Blood Sword and the Blood God’s Deity-Killing painting were not used, Lu Tianheng alone could easily kill Chen Xiaobei and all of the people who were on his side!

Ignoring Lu Tianheng, Chen Xiaobei asked the overlord, “Overlord, I can find help, right?”

“Yes!” The overlord nodded. “Not only can you seek help from those who are present, you can also seek help from your friends from other high-ranking starfields!”

Chen Xiaobei grinned, “Mm, that’s great! I really am not capable to fight them on my own!”

In reality, Chen Xiaobei only needed to use either his Chaos Blood Sword or the Blood God’s Deity-Killing painting to wipe out all of the Lu and Tie Family with ease.

But with so many people watching, the news about his Chaos Blood Sword and Blood God’s Deity-Killing painting would spread like wildfire throughout the entire Northern Wilderness Starfield and even the entire human realm!

If that was the case, elites from high-ranking starfields and even from Earth God realms would come searching for Chen Xiaobei to rob him of these Earth God instruments.

At the moment, Chen Xiaobei was not very strong. If elites of Wei Zhonglie’s caliber came for him, they could easily take Chen Xiaobei out and take possession of his Chaos Blood Sword and Blood God’s Deity-Killing painting!

So, unless Chen Xiaobei was under disguise, he could not bring out these weapons in front of this crowd!

Of course, he could always get rid of all these eyewitnesses to prevent that information from spreading.

But not today!

Other than those from the Tie and Lu Family, the overlord had also brought many other very important people who were innocent, including Wenren Jinghao and Dong Zhuo.

Complete annihilation was not a viable option because his conscience would not allow him to do it, and without these people managing the starfield, Northern Wilderness would fall into complete chaos!

Not doing that meant that Chen Xiaobei could not use both the Chaos Blood Sword and the Blood God’s Deity-Killing painting.

“Do you have anymore questions?” The overlord asked.

“One more!” Chen Xiaobei said. “This fight, is it to the death or are we supposed to pull punches?

“The Lus are criminals, traitors who are to be executed into the third generation. You are free to kill them all!” The overlord paused for a moment and then added hesitantly, “The Ties and I share a close tie, and they are the economical lifeline of the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce… I think you should pull your punches on them!”

Chen Xiaobei nodded, “So if I do that, will Tie Family would have to hold back on me as well?”

“Of course!” The overlord confirmed. “This is a fair fight! If you are not allowed to kill the Tie Family, they shouldn’t be allowed to kill you either!”

“No!” Tie Jingtao suddenly boomed. “We don’t need him to hold himself back! We want to fight this piece of shit to the death!”

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “Whatever you want – I, Chen Zhengfeng, will fight you to the end!”
