Chapter 550
In all, nine out of the League’s 33 temple masters were present . The others apparently did not have enough free time to come spectate .

“There have been countless life-death duels held since the establishment of the Monster-exterminating League . However, this is probably the first between a Divine Emperor and a Saint Realm expert, right?” The absolute beauty, Temple Master Pure Moon, said while bathing in the sunlight and radiating her incomparable warmth .
“A duel between a Divine Emperor and a Saint Realm expert does seem a little too much . ”
A burly man who carried a giant axe on his back stood with his arms crossed and his crimson brows slightly furrowed . Although 17 temple masters had approved of Emperor Golden Snake’s proposal for a life-death duel, there was a small number of temple masters, including this burly man, who disapproved .
“Temple Master Iceberg, this life-death duel is all thanks to you . I’m really curious as to what price Golden Snake paid you such that you willingly got off your high horse to plead with each and every temple master . From what I know, the relationship between you two isn’t close enough that you would naturally put in so much effort for him . ” Temple Master Pure Moon glanced at Temple Master Iceberg with a strange expression .
“Golden Snake regards me as his Master and has always paid me great respect . Why can’t I lend him a hand? Besides, although Jian Wushuang has unparalleled talent, he’s after all just an outsider, and it’s a matter of time before he leaves Monster Continent . Should I have helped him over someone who has dutifully served the League?”
“That does make sense . ” Temple Master Pure Moon nodded and said no more .
Nothing could be done . Given Jian Wushuang’s outsider status, the League’s temple masters naturally had to side with Emperor Golden Snake even if to varying extents .
“Look, Jian Wushuang has arrived . ” Temple Master Pure Moon suddenly raised her head .
Together with the numerous Divine Emperors and Divine Generals outside the restriction, the present Temple Masters raised their heads one after another and looked toward the valley .
On the vast void in the Bloodshed Valley, a beam of black Flowing Light whizzed past and quickly revealed a figure not too far in front of Emperor Golden Snake .

Carrying the Triple-kill Sword on his back, Jian Wushuang wore a slight smile on his face and crossed his arms .
“Jian Wushuang appears to be quite the confident sort, no?” Temple Master Pure Moon was taken by surprise .
Once he appeared in the Bloodshed Valley, the Saint Realm aura on his body began to spread without the slightest conceit .
“He’s indeed only a Saint Realm expert . ”
“Although he’s only a Saint Realm expert, there’s a Second-grade Divine General’s token aura on his body . How’s that possible?”
“Hmph, what’s so impossible about that? Don’t you know that a month ago, there was a mass slaughter of demonic beasts in the East Camp, during which Master Jian revealed his strength to be much greater than that of Second-grade Divine Generals?”
“Yes, I just returned from East Camp and did hear about that . Jian Wushuang is indeed an incredible super genius . ”
“What a pity that such a super genius is about to die!”
Sobbing and sighing noises filled the area around the Bloodshed Valley . However, the restriction completely sealed them off from reaching the battlefield . This allowed the two men in the battlefield, Jian Wushuang and Emperor Golden Snake, to focus completely on the duel .
However, noises from within the battlefield did transmit outward .

It was quiet within the valley . The only noise was that of a gentle passing breeze .
Jian Wushuang and Emperor Golden Snake stood facing each other at a distance of a hundred zhang (1094 feet) .
Jian Wushuang’s expression was indifferent and his eyes carried no emotion . Conversely, Emperor Golden Snake stared at him with glacial eyes that conveyed a heinous resentment .
“You’re pretty brave, ” Emperor Golden Snake spoke in the frostiest of tones . “I’d thought you would flee to the territory occupied by demonic beasts and never return to the human world . ”
“You’re not good enough to scare me away,” Jian Wushuang quipped nonchalantly .
“Hehe, those are some confident words, or should I say, self-flattery!” A smile formed on the corner of Emperor Golden Snake’s mouth . “If that’s the case, I shall take your life away today . It’ll count as revenge for my son even though it’s a month late . ”
“Revenge? Or maybe I’ll send you to reunite with your son in the netherworld?” Jian Wushuang sneered .
“You can try . ” A grim-faced Emperor Golden Snake opened his mouth and extended his tongue to lick his lips, resembling a venomous snake . An upsurging aura gradually diffused from his body .
“Come . ” With scorching eyes and an eager heart, Jian Wushuang clenched his fists tightly .
He had previously exchanged blows with Su Ming, a Divine Emperor-level expert who possessed Dao enlightenment . At that time, he summoned all of his skill and effort but was nevertheless completely outclassed by the latter, for the gulf between them was too big .

However, having gone through several months of cultivation in the Monster Continent, he was no longer the same as his former self .
The current him longed for a life-death duel with a genuine Divine Emperor .
“Others may think that it’s far-fetched for a Saint Realm expert to duel a Divine Emperor . But in my case, that isn’t necessarily impossible . ”
“Let’s fight!”
As Jian Wushuang involuntarily growled, an upsurging battle intent poured out of his body and shook the whole world .
Emperor Golden Snake exhaled a breath and made eye contact with Jian Wushuang, producing a tangible flame .
The next moment, swish!
The figures of both men vanished simultaneously .
They went missing at the same time .
“Huh?”
Outside the restriction, the spectating Divine Generals frantically looked over . Before they could discern the figures of Jian Wushuang and Emperor Golden Snake, two figures had already convened in the centermost of the void in the Bloodshed Valley,
The Triple-kill Sword was already in Jian Wushuang’s hand . It promptly struck forth with irresistible force .
Similarly, the pitch-black machete in Emperor Golden Snake’s tight grip struck out .
A sword shadow and a blade light instantly collided .
The spectators were still frenziedly searching for the two figures when a violent boom erupted .
Boom!
The sound reverberated throughout the universe like a thunderclap that abruptly sounded from a fine and cloudless sky . Subsequently, the earth and mountains of the Bloodshed Valley began to quake violently .
At the point where the collision took place, an almighty power formed into a huge wave which swept unbridled in all directions at an astonishing speed .
Buzz!
The wave spread downward and instantly sank into the ground beneath the duel .
A huge pit with a diameter of nearly a hundred zhang (1094 feet) appeared in front of everyone .
