Absolute Choice - Chapter 429: Everything was done by me

Only when Speechless sent a kick at Shi Xiaobai did the crowd suddenly recall that this was a battle royale between three kings, and not a duel between two people where they exchanged blows!

The storm surged as boulders flew into the sky and were diced into sand. The sharp blade storms headed straight for Shi Xiaobai!

The tornado's speed was not as fast as lightning, but it was extremely expansive. Even if someone were to react in time, they would find it difficult to dodge it completely. However, to Shi Xiaobai, whose Crab Steps reached a very high level of attainment, the storm from the kick was too slow. He could easily dodge it.

However, Speechless's kick that had managed to withstand the giant made Shi Xiaobai's fighting spirit boil over!

He did not know how Speechless had done it, but he knew that his physical toughness was still not sufficient to withstand the giant's massive body.

Regardless of how Speechless had done it, he was inferior to him in this point.

However, Shi Xiaobai similarly had things that Speechless could not accomplish!

Without dodging or moving even one bit, Shi Xiaobai allowed the tornado to hit him amid the cries of the crowd.

Shi Xiaobai bathed in the sharp blade storm!

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang..."

The incessant sound of blades hitting metal echoed as the wrinkles seemed to appear in the air. Shi Xiaobai was situated in the wrinkles as countless blades struck his body!

Shi Xiaobai grinned. After eating the three holy items, his Body of the Heretic King had reached the pinnacle of the third stage and was just short of breaking through to the fourth stage. The normal power of the blades could not deal any damage to him!

But just this alone wasn't sufficient to compare with Speechless's holding up the giant with one leg. That was because Speechless definitely had the ability to remain unharmed in the blade storm.

Shi Xiaobai needed to do something that Speechless could not do.

With an idea flashing in his mind, he opened his mouth!

Immediately, a faltering scene happened. The spiraling tornado seemed to hit a black hole and was completely sucked into Shi Xiaobai's throat!

Shi Xiaobai was astonished as well and never expected that he would truly succeed. His Power of Taotie was even able to consume wind and it tasted like he was drinking soy bean milk.

Speechless smacked his forehead and cursed, "Your mom's a whore. When it comes to having fun, you are the best at it."

The audience was stunned. The Celestial King had used his foot to hold up the giant, but the Infernal King immediately returned tit for tat. He used his mouth to eat the storm. This was clearly a battle between fucking gods.

...

After Shi Xiaobai completely devoured the tornado, there was already complete silence.

Speechless said with smirk, "It's your turn to make a move."

Etiquette required reciprocity. With the giant and Speechless attacking one after another, it was obviously Shi Xiaobai's turn.

Although the giant was in a hurry to rip apart his two enemies, his dignity as a mighty warrior ensured that he had to accept such a turn-based battle. However, after the Infernal King made his move, he would no longer hold back!

It was Shi Xiaobai's turn but it was not as simple as just producing an attack.

After Speechless accepted the giant's attack and attacked Shi Xiaobai, it was clear what his intentions were—he wanted to fight against two!

And at that very moment, Shi Xiaobai's attitude was very important. If he attacked Speechless, it would be silently accepting Speechless's intentions of fighting two people alone. If he were to attack the giant, the situation would become even more chaotic.

This was a battle royale between three kings.

In a duel between two people, it was a fight to determine who was stronger. However, in a battle royale between three, there was the possibility of cooperating to defeat one person first!

This was why the three kings had to each produce a strike. It was not a simple attack but to express their attitudes!

Now, it was time for Shi Xiaobai to express his attitude towards the battle royale.

A black-and-white sword appeared in Shi Xiaobai's hand out of thin air.

"This King's attitude?"

Shi Xiaobai grinned and suddenly shouted, "Is there a need to ask!?"

With both hands on the sword, he suddenly split them apart. The black-and-white sword separated and became two swords. One was deep black while the other was pure white!

With one sword in each hand, Shi Xiaobai slashed in two directions!

"Kun-Stewing Wok!"

A fiery force surged up from the ground, like a boiling hot wok was producing hot steam. The bubbles spread out like a gigantic snake that struck at the giant!

"Two Peng Grills!"

A cross-shaped flare tore apart in the sky. It was more blinding than the sun and its heat caused the air to combust into black smoke. There was bubbling lava that fell from the sky, as it rained down on Speechless like a black and red waterfall!

"This King obviously wants to fight two alone!"

Shi Xiaobai's two strikes had expressed his attitude!

Speechless clearly was not surprised by Shi Xiaobai's choice. With a smile, he looked up slightly!

"Frost Dragon's Breath!"

A snow-white frost beam suddenly shot out from Speechless's mouth and blasted straight at the lava sword intent!

When the frost beam and the lava collided, it immediately merged together while issuing sizzling sounds like boiling water. It seemed like the ice had melted, but it also seemed like the flames were extinguished. The snow-white and blackish-red colors merged together into a light pink color before it transformed into snowflakes or rain that fell from the sky.

On the other side, the giant stabbed his fists into the ground. With a loud roar, he lifted up the slab of ground. Although the boiling hot steam reached the giant's hands, he remained unaffected. Suddenly, he forcefully tore the slab of earth in his hands into two. The two pieces were hurled at Shi Xiaobai and Speechless!

The giant similarly expressed his attitude. He wanted to fight the two alone!

The audience watched in a daze as the two slabs of earth that the giant threw were slashed into fragments by the Infernal King, and kicked flying by the Celestial King. They found the scene in front of them utterly ridiculous. The battle had long exceeded their expectations.

And what was even more unbelievable was that the battle had yet to truly begin!

The few moves had allowed the three kings to express their intentions!

Liu Yu said with some regret, "This Penniless Priest has seen battle royales between three people before. They would try their best to keep a low profile and conceal their true strength so as to appear weak. They would then ally with others to get rid of the stronger party before baring their fangs. But for Shi Xiaobai and company, they only wish they could attract even more aggro. They yearn to fight two alone. This is the first time This Penniless Priest is seeing such a thing. This Penniless Priest has nothing he can say about it."

Pulp Farmer's face was covered in shock as he muttered, "I once thought I was one of the cream of the crop among the younger generation, but compared to Speechless and Shi Xiaobai, I'm nothing at all. They...are no longer existences on this level. The battle royale between the three kings had only just begun, but why are my knees already weak?"

Feng Yuanlin stared with widened eyes and said, "Don't ask me why I'm watching the battle kneeling down. When the battle royale really begins, I think I can sprawl on the ground."

The eyes of Mu Yuesheng and the silver-haired girl were filled with worry. The first round was only to express their attitudes, but it already looked like a battle between gods. What would happen when the battle royale began?

Even Sunless could not help but frown.

The battle royale had yet to truly begin.

The three kings had only attacked from a distance to express their attitudes.

And now, they all expressed their intentions of fighting two alone. There was no room for cooperation. It meant that the battle that followed would be a true battle royale.

No one knew who the other two opponents would attack next!

The three kings were eager to begin. They scanned their two opponents with eyes that seemed to have detected their prey. Their bodies simultaneously leaned forward, with the possibility of them charging forward at any moment. They were like sharp swords that were about to be unsheathed, with blades pointed at the enemy!

The true battle was about to begin!

"Could you stop for a moment?"

Suddenly, a soft and emotionless voice which sounded like flowing water resounded throughout the basin from a corner.

The three kings that were ready to charge forward in a serious battle came to a halt as they looked in the same direction in astonishment!

There, in the middle of their triangular positions, a figure had suddenly appeared out of thin air.

The figure was clearly the owner of the voice that suddenly sounded.

The audience quieted down and looked in disbelief at the figure that had said, "Can you stop for a moment".

Who was this?

How did the person appear undetected in the basin and in the middle of the triangle?

Shi Xiaobai happened to be facing directly in front of the figure.

The person was a young boy dressed in loose white robes. He had resplendent golden hair that dazzled like the rays of the sun. His skin was white and supple. He looked like he was twelve or thirteen years old, and his facial features were exquisite and good-looking. He could be considered an adonis, but if one changed his short golden hair into long golden hair, one would mistake him for a pubescent young beauty.

The white-robed blond youth's appearance and facial features resembled the sunlight at dawn. He was radiant and enchanting.

On careful look, one would discover that his eyes and expression was surprisingly cold. It was cold like a frozen lake in the dead of winter. It was like a pure white snowflake that didn't have any other colors that made it seem impure. It was an emotionless coldness.

"Who are you?" Shi Xiaobai asked.

That was the question everyone present wanted to know. Who was this blond youth that suddenly appeared out of thin air and said "Could you stop for a moment".

"I'm Dawn Li."

The blond youth reported his name in a deadpan manner. His tone did not show any emotion, as though he was a machine reporting some numbers. Without stopping, he said, "The Infernal Sword was stolen by me. The Celestial Jade was stolen by me. The Transcendence Holy Tree was burnt down by me. The entire war was instigated by me. Everything was done by me. So, seek revenge against me."

When this was said, everyone was stunned.

The thirty thousand spectators could not even react because the sentence contained too much information.

As for Speechless, he felt like lightning had struck him. He looked dumbfounded as he remained stupefied.

Pulp Farmer and company were equally stupefied.

Liu Yu stiffly turned his head and looked at the rest beside him. Stiffly, he opened his mouth and asked, "Uh, if This Penniless Priest did not remember wrongly... Isn't the Hero King's name Dawn Li?"

... IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said "", but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
