"He Ma, you know that your cleverness will lead you to the wrong side, you know?"
Li Shibai said eloquently.
"For many years, the surrounding alien races have harassed me Qingmang endlessly, just because there are scholars like you who always sing the opposite.
"It is precisely because of your existence that millions of Qingmang people have never been able to unite as one and completely destroy those alien races!
“As the king of a country, life and death are more important than a mountain, how could I be left in the hands of someone as light as a feather like you?
"If you argue with me at this time, you are just seeking death!"
Li Shibai finally understood that He Ma was just pretending to be stupid, and he had long been convinced that he would not be able to give him the cards. He was furious.
But he sobered up immediately. Anger is actually of no use. Only by calmly facing reality and thinking about countermeasures can he survive.
If He Ma can't handle it, what about a young priest like Sun Nuo who is sensible but also a little passionate?
"Priest Sun, what do you think?
"Do you know that the emperor has no jokes?
"I can swear a poisonous oath here. If I violate today's promise and fail to rescue you, even if I am left alone, I will die from a sword and arrow!"
Soldiers who often march and fight are most afraid of the curse of "die by swords and arrows".
However, whether it was the statement that "the emperor has no jokes" or the vicious curse of "die by swords and arrows", they had no effect on Sun Nuo, who looked like a young middle schooler, but was actually a man.
After all, you have the cards in your hand, and no matter how small your hope is, there is still the possibility of giving it a try. If the cards are no longer in your hand, life and death are completely in the hands of others.
He knows better than anyone how tempting "infinite wishes" are. If it weren't for the "infinite wish", he would not risk coming here at all.
As long as Li Shibai holds ten cards, he will have "infinite wishes". Would he really use such a precious opportunity to save other people? Why didn't he ask for immortality?
So after humming for a long time, he didn't even fart. He didn't want to offend Li Shibai and challenge himself immediately, nor did he want to promise to give up and give away his cards to others.
All he wants to do is sit back and observe the situation first, waiting for others to fight each other, and the situation may change.
"Priest Sun, you haven't answered me yet."
Sun Nuo tried his best to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect that Li Shibai was staring at him and seemed to want to find out the answer.
"Sun Nuo, I will give you one last chance. If you cooperate with me, I swear I will rescue you.
"But if you refuse and wait until I challenge you to win, then you can get your card...
"Because you disobeyed the imperial edict, acted for your own selfish interests, and ignored the survival of our Kingdom of God, I will execute you in the name of the Emperor of the Kingdom of God!"
Sun Nuo was also anxious. He thought to himself that he was not the only Qingmang person here, so why did the emperor focus on him? Isn't this an unjust death?
And you are obviously afraid of death and insist on taking my cards, so why do you put such a big hat on me?
"His Majesty!"
He was not an ordinary person, and he was so quick-thinking that he was actually recruited by someone who wanted to be a guest.
"I, Sun Nuo, am a Qingmang man in life and a Qingmang ghost in death. What is the importance of my personal life and death? If I die for the Kingdom of God, why should I cherish my life?
"But the goddess has something to say: All the people in my kingdom of God will only be ranked according to their merits, and will not be judged by their superiority!
"Your Majesty and He Ma are both my Qingmang compatriots. Whichever of you two can defeat a mantis man first, I will regard him as my master.
"At that time, I will present these two cards with both hands!"
Originally, he was oppressed by Li Shibai for his so-called righteousness of the Kingdom of God, but now he cleverly defeated him.
Don’t you, Li Shibai, keep saying that you represent the Kingdom of God? In fact, it’s not just to survive for yourself? Do you think you could try picking out a mantis man first?
As for what will happen if Li Shibai challenges the Mantis, if Li Shibai really wins, will he really give away his own cards? He didn't think about it at all.
Anyway, it is far better to let others fight each other first than to be targeted to death from the beginning. The more you can survive, the more hope you will have of eventual survival.
Li Shibai didn't speak any more this time. He leaned back in his chair quietly and thought, paying attention to the passage of the hourglass.
He was convinced that even if he exhausted all methods, whether it was righteousness or emotion, whether it was inducement or coercion, he would not be able to defeat any of them with words.
Since words don't work, force can only be used. It is important to order the challenges from easier to harder. Who will you challenge first?
He pointed with his hand and said, "I want to challenge him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes flashed and the scenery had changed.
The surroundings were still filled with the same impenetrable black air. But the long table where they sat had disappeared.
He stood on a stone disk about fifty paces in diameter. The disk is surrounded by deep black space and the only billowing black fog visible in the distance.
The hourglass above my head is still there, but time resets and starts again. After a quarter of an hour, light leaks and the battle ends.
During this period, either someone dies, or someone folds and admits defeat, otherwise it ends in a boring draw.
There were no spectators around, indicating that the showdown was likely a secret from others.
He was still wearing the silver light armor of the light cavalry, with his long sword on his waist.
The guy opposite was wearing a brown priest's robe with a round collar. It was none other than the young priest Sun Nuo who had just had a verbal confrontation with him!
He chose Sun Nuo as the first challenge target. Of course, it was not a grudge with a few words, but the result of careful consideration.
Although he is an emperor, he is also one of the senior instructors of the Holy See. In theory, he is still Sun Nuo's boss. He is very aware of this subordinate's special abilities.
He could completely guess the contents of Sun Nuo's two cards. Not only can he guess it, but he has a 100% chance of winning.
He pulled out the "Frost Blood Sword" from his waist.
Li Shibai is not only the Qingmang Emperor, he is also known as the "Sword Master" in the Qingmang Army! His swordsmanship is superb and he has few rivals in Qingmang's country.
His long sword "Frost Blood" is also one of the most famous weapons in Qingmang's country, capable of cutting iron like mud.
Swordsmanship is only a mortal skill and is not included in abilities at all, so there is no "swordsmanship" in the two cards he owns. But his sword skills are still usable.
So he decided to use swordsmanship to deal with Sun Nuo. On the one hand, this is enough, on the other hand, it can avoid premature exposure of one's own abilities.
"Priest Sun, please give me some advice."
Just like the common sparring etiquette in Qingmang Divine Kingdom, he put the sword tip downward, held the hilt in his hand, clasped his hands in fists, and bowed slightly to Sun Nuo.
Sun Nuo was a little panicked and couldn't help but want to return the gift.
Suddenly, Li Shibai's thin right hand suddenly turned over, and the tip of the long sword, as bright as frost and snow, shook, sweeping out a fan-shaped cold light in the air, and stabbed towards his throat!
