Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1138 - 1124: If You Want to Fight, Then Let’s Fight!

Chapter 1138: Chapter 1124: If You Want to Fight, Then Let’s Fight!

"Shura Warden, come out and fight!"

Xiao Yi’s voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

In an instant.

Every strong contender in the Shura Battlefield wore expressions of utter shock.

Countless astonished gazes fell upon Xiao Yi.

Even before the battle between Xiao Yi and Hei Mang had started, they had already predicted the outcome—if Xiao Yi prevailed, it would mean he earned the right to challenge the former Shura War God.

And should he succeed in that challenge...

It would be the "hundred victories to divinity," crowning him as the new Shura War God.

However...

During the duel with Hei Mang, everyone doubted Xiao Yi’s chances of victory—after all, Hei Mang’s strength was nothing short of monstrous.

But now, Hei Mang was history.

The Shura Battlefield had its new king!

"I can’t believe he actually did it!"

"Defeating Hei Mang means Xiao Yi is now second only to the Warden in the Southern Prison Realm!"

"Now he’s even trying to challenge the Warden? Is he aiming to become the Shura War God?"

"Can he pull it off?"

"Most likely not... That’s the Warden we’re talking about, the undisputed number one in the South Prison Realm!"

Just then...

The referee atop the arena took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and bowed solemnly toward the void, his voice booming like a great bell: "Summon the Shura Bell!"

Buzz!

From a southern palace within the Shura Battlefield came a thunderous burst of energy.

Immediately after...

A series of melodious bell chimes resonated throughout the skies.

DONG!

DONG!

DONG!

The echoing bell sounds spread across the entire city in an instant.

Inside the Warden’s residence:

He Ju was lounging on a recliner, humming a little tune, when he abruptly heard the resonant, vibrant bell chimes.

Thud!

He Ju trembled all over, falling off his chair, scrambling to his feet in a fluster, staring toward the direction of the Shura Battlefield with a dumbfounded look: "The Shura Bell rang? Damn it, is someone on the verge of a hundred straight victories, about to ascend to godhood?"

In his mind, Xiao Yi’s image suddenly surfaced.

Gulp!

He Ju swallowed hard, unable to conceal the shock in his heart: "Impossible... That kid only left the Warden’s residence a short while ago... Has he already achieved ninety-nine victories? That’s not possible—absolutely impossible..."

He Ju shook his head vehemently.

He couldn’t bring himself to believe his own speculations.

"What do you mean ’not possible’?" A deep, heavy voice rang suddenly behind him, causing his entire body to tremble with cold sweat.

He Ju whipped around, casting his gaze upon the tall figure standing behind him, whom he had no idea when had appeared.

The man was clothed in a robe of blood red.

With sharp sword-like brows, piercing eyes, long crimson hair cascading down, a hooked nose, and an overwhelming aura of lethal menace. The moment he arrived, it seemed as though the entire heavens and earth centered around him.

He was the ruler of the South Prison Realm—the Shura Warden.

"Greetings, Warden!" He Ju quickly clasped his hands and bowed respectfully.

The Shura Warden waved him off, signaling He Ju to rise, his eyes narrowed thoughtfully as he gazed toward the Shura Battlefield. His expression revealed a hint of astonishment as he said, "Do you know who has struck the Shura Bell?"

He Ju shook his head: "I do not know, my lord!"

"Oh?"

The Shura Warden nodded lightly and glanced at He Ju, saying, "Come with me to the Shura Battlefield!"

"Understood!"

He Ju quickly followed behind him.

The two pierced through the skies at once.

In the blink of an eye.

They appeared above the Shura Battlefield, and upon glimpsing Xiao Yi atop the arena, He Ju gasped in shock: "It’s really him?"

"Hmm? You know this man?" the Shura Warden asked.

He Ju took a deep breath and replied solemnly: "Reporting to the Warden, this man’s name is Xiao Yi. Just a few hours ago, he visited the Warden’s residence and presented a letter seeking an audience with you. As you were in seclusion, he inquired whether there was an alternative means to meet with you quickly; I told him he could come to the Shura Battlefield..."

As He Ju recounted the events, the Shura Warden’s expression shifted repeatedly.

"Achieving ninety-nine consecutive victories in just a few hours? Interesting, truly interesting..." The Shura Warden’s eyes glinted as he stared at Xiao Yi.

Within his gaze, one could decipher surprise and intrigue.

Even when he had once ascended as the Shura War God, it had taken him half a month to secure a hundred victories and claim the title.

Xiao Yi, on the other hand, had accomplished ninety-nine straight victories in mere hours.

Such astonishing combat prowess left even the Warden himself stunned.

"Lord Warden, are you truly going to accept his challenge?" He Ju asked nervously.

The Shura Warden replied coolly: "Rules cannot be broken. You will serve as the referee for this battle. I want to personally witness what kind of capabilities this young man possesses!"

...

Inside the Shura Battlefield:

The crowd watched as the Shura Bell rang out, yet the Shura Warden remained unseen. Faces were painted with doubt: "Could it be the Warden doesn’t want to show himself?"

"The Warden is such an illustrious figure, he probably doesn’t think Xiao Yi is worthy of his involvement!"

"Not necessarily, perhaps the Warden is just occupied with other matters..."

Atop the arena:

Xiao Yi, who had been resting with closed eyes, suddenly opened them, staring straight ahead into the void. He spoke calmly, "Since you’re here, why not show yourself?"

"Here?"

"Where?"

"Who’s here?"

A tide of confusion swept through as everyone looked around.

But none spotted anything unusual.

"Hahaha, as expected of someone who achieved ninety-nine consecutive victories in mere hours and triggered the Shura Bell. Xiao Yi, do you truly wish to fight me?"

The Shura Warden’s voice emanated from all directions, making it impossible to determine his location.

Whoosh!

The tranquil void trembled suddenly.

The Shura Warden had seemingly appeared out of nowhere atop the arena, his eyes half-lidded, hands clasped behind his back, wearing a curious and amused expression as he scrutinized Xiao Yi.

"Supreme Realm Peak? Ninety steps on the Path of Dao... No wonder you are a Warden in the Endless Ice Prison!" Upon seeing the Shura Warden, Xiao Yi immediately assessed his cultivation level.

Ninety steps on the Path of Dao—just one step away from reaching the realm of the Sacred Venerable!

His power exceeded even that of Maitreya Supreme and Ge Tianhuang!

The Shura Warden retracted his gaze: "According to He Ju, you came to the Shura Battlefield solely to meet me?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Yi didn’t hide anything, nodding to acknowledge.

The Shura Warden asked, "May I know why you sought me out?"

The Warden indeed had many questions.

While he could discern that Xiao Yi’s cultivation was extraordinary and very close to his own, he couldn’t fathom Xiao Yi’s true reason for seeking him.

Xiao Yi replied gravely, "I want to know how to leave the Endless Ice Prison!"

"Hmm?"

The Shura Warden’s expression shifted sharply; his eyes narrowed into slits, "You... Are you from the outside?"

Xiao Yi nodded.

The Shura Warden’s face contorted visibly as his thoughts churned. Suddenly, his gaze froze and he said, "In the vast Ice Prison, only the four Wardens know the way out. But why should I tell you?"

"Don’t you want to leave this miserable place?" Xiao Yi countered.

"Of course I do. How could I not? But I cannot leave!"

The Shura Warden sighed bitterly, then straightened his expression and said, "If you wish to know the way out, it’s simple—fight me. If you win, I’ll tell you how to leave. If you lose, you must allow me to conduct a Soul Search on you, so I may learn everything about the outside world."

Soul Search?

Xiao Yi’s face paled slightly.

The Shura Warden sneered: "What’s wrong? Are you afraid?"

"Hmph! Why would I fear?"

Xiao Yi snorted coldly, unyielding, motioning for the Warden to proceed, "If you want a fight, then let’s fight!"
