Direct life-and-death fights rarely occur between the saints on the continent. The situation like the Thousand-Ren Sword Saint Venegas and the Light Assassin Kyros jointly assassinating the Time Saint Sasso is extremely rare.
Because when one reaches the level of a saint, everyone will have some hidden tricks that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. Once used, life and death may be decided in an instant.
Therefore, in order to solve the problem, the saints sometimes use gambling to decide the winner. Since it is a gambling fight, there must be a stake. Liu Yisheng asked: "What is the stake this time?"
"The bet is that if you win, I retreat, and if I win, you withdraw from Heimuguan and never attack again," Morales said.
Liu Yisheng laughed and said, "Saint Morales, don't you think this is unfair? If I win, there will be no benefit at all, and I will return to the same situation as before. If you win, we will have to give up our current advantage. This is too unfair."
Morales said: "It has been many years since I arrived in the Sanctuary. Do you think you can be on equal footing with me just now when you set foot in the Sanctuary?"
"That's hard to say. Are you sure you can beat me?" Liu Yisheng lowered his head and shook it gently. "Strength is reflected by winning or losing, not by showing off your seniority. It will soon be clear who is stronger and who is weaker. Isn't it ridiculous to set such unfair terms in advance?"
"So what do you want?" Morales asked.
Liu Yisheng raised his head and looked directly at Morales, with pride in his eyes. "If either of us loses, we will have our team withdraw from Heimuguan for one day, and after that day, we will each fight on our own."
"One day? This way, you can fight back immediately after you withdraw." Morales said.
"This is the fact. Even if we don't fight back in one day, we can fight back tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or next month. This is due to the difference in strength. War is a test of the national strength of both sides. The weaker side cannot be supported by one or two strong people. Do you have to guard this Heimu Pass every day?" Liu Yisheng asked back.
The Empire's army had never been underestimated on the continent, but now, in Liu Yisheng's words, it had become a weak party that needed protection, which made Morales uncomfortable. But the other party was right, and he couldn't always guard the Black Wood Pass. This was not the way a saint acted. To be precise, if he knew that the other party had a saint, he should have been more cautious in his actions.
Morales said, "I don't want to argue with a junior, so let's use the conditions you said. But since you have determined the stakes of the fight, let me choose the method of the fight."
"please."
"I will use magic to cover an army on the ground. If you can break my magic and find them out of the battlefield, I will admit defeat.
Of course, I won't do anything to bully the weak. Since there are three of you, I will give each of you one chance to make a move. Whoever of you can remove the cover and find the person within a total of one hour will win. "
Xiao Chen and Liu Yisheng exchanged glances.
In the soul dialogue, Xiao Chen said: "This is Silent Praise's best method. He used this trick to become famous in the beginning. Gandas used a similar method when attacking Black Wood Pass. As a result, our people did not discover the hidden enemy."
Liu Yisheng said, "It's okay. Don't forget how many times I've been through this world. Just now, when I was standing opposite Morales, I began to recall the process of dealing with him in the past. The first two chances are for you, and the last one will be for me. There aren't many opportunities to fight with a saint."
Gabriel said, "I am good at frontal combat. These technical skills are not suitable for my ability. You two should use these three chances."
Xiao Chen said: "Since you said it's okay, let's do it this way."
Liu Yisheng said to Morales: "I agree."
Morales looked at the crowd below and stretched out a hand. A rotating cube made of white light appeared in his hand. He said, "I will cover this team of twelve black guards. You can remember their characteristics now."
Xiao Chen waved his hand and shot out twelve star rays, which landed on the twelve people, marking their positions with his mental power. Liu Yisheng did not move at all. He said, "There is no point in doing this. This guy is just pretending to be generous."
Sure enough, when Xiao Chen and the others were ready, Morales threw the white cube in his hand to the ground. The cube suddenly grew larger when it landed, including the twelve people. Then, along with these people, it disappeared without a trace in an instant. Not only were they invisible to the magic of detecting invisibility, but the mark that Xiao Chen had just cast was also completely ineffective.
"Let's start." Morales drew his finger in the air, and a golden hourglass appeared, starting to count the time.
Liu Yisheng said to Xiao Chen: "I'll give you the first two chances, and I'll take the last chance."
"You look confident?" Xiao Chen asked.
Liu Yisheng said: "If I fail to solve this kind of problem in one go, I may not be able to think of a second solution in a short period of time."
Xiao Chen knew that this was an opportunity Liu Yisheng intended to give him to grow, so he naturally had to go all out to deal with it. He knew that his use of conventional detection magic would be useless, so the first thing he thought of was to use his mental power to sense the other party's existence, but the usual mental power sensing method was definitely useless. Xiao Chen thought about using the Source Tower to contact magic power and began to use his mental power.
Xiao Chen stretched out the net made of his mental power threads to the surroundings, starting from the place where those people had just disappeared, and spread his mental power outwards to cover many people below.
Since those black guards are on Morales' side, they will naturally not wait there foolishly. They will definitely run around everywhere, increasing the difficulty.
Xiao Chen's total mental power is far greater than that of other mages of the same level, so when his mental power covers the battlefield, it is not weaker than Morales in terms of area or strength.
Morales frowned slightly. He didn't expect that a great magician on the other side would have such a strong mental power. Moreover, his mental power had a strange feeling, which was very different from the mental power used by ordinary people. It seemed that he had some unique characteristics. As long as people like this don't take too many detours, they are destined to be saints. It seems that the saint named Liu Yisheng also has great expectations for him.
However, he had expected this method of mental power detection. If his method could not even isolate mental power, then Morales would not be worthy of being called the Silence Tribute. (To be continued)
