Chapter 430: The Day of the Duel, All Offerings Appear

"Your Excellency Snake Spear, have something to eat. Perhaps in a few days, you will be able to leave." In a luxurious room, Nan Feihuang held a plate of pastries and handed them to Snake Spear Douluo.

He did not mistreat this captive; he merely sealed his soul power and locked him up, treating him with good food and drink.

As for Guimei, who had lost an arm and a leg, Feihuang also kept him under the care of medical Spirit Masters—one had to consider the face of Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had already joined his ranks.

"Why, kid Feihuang, since you have so little confidence, how dare you challenge the Offerings to a duel?" Snake Spear clearly already knew about the duel.

He was merely imprisoned, not cut off from the world; even the palace maids and eunuchs outside were discussing it so fervently, and he was not deaf.

"Heh, I don't lack confidence, I am just indifferent. Anyway, regardless of whether I win or lose this duel, it doesn't matter," Nan Feihuang laughed. "If I lose, then I'll just obediently let Xue Jie lock me in a secret room. Thinking about being with Xue Jie day and night, I'm actually quite happy."

"You don't mind that the Young Master sent people to assassinate you anymore?" Snake Spear asked in surprise.

Nan Feihuang smiled mysteriously. "Because I know that the person who truly wanted to assassinate me could not have been Xue Jie. At that time, Lingyuan said that, and it was highly likely she was deliberately disturbing my mind, right? I keep saying I love Xue Jie, so how could I have no trust in her? Actually, I was just playing along at the time, letting you think I had gone crazy. As a result, didn't you get caught off guard by me?"

"Wh-what? You brat, you actually dared to play me! Since you knew the Young Master had no intention of harming you, why did you still oppose her? Wouldn't it have been better to return to her side?" Snake Spear Douluo was both angry and puzzled.

He, a dignified Title Douluo and senior, had actually been played by a teenager.

Feihuang rested his chin on his hand and said, "Is Senior Snake Spear playing dumb, or do you want to swindle me? You say it lightly; it is true that Xue Jie does not want to kill me, but within the Spirit Hall, there truly exists someone who wants me dead. The Great Elder, Qian Daoliu, should not be him; for Xue Jie's sake, he would not take the initiative to act against me. Then, within the Spirit Hall, there is only one person whose authority is enough to rival the Great Elder. If I just threw myself into the Spirit Hall like that, wouldn't I be walking straight into Bibi Dong's trap? It would be a miracle if I had a good ending."

"You brat, you really are smart, even guessing who the person who truly wants to kill you is." Snake Spear Douluo sighed. "Actually, if not for the Pope's orders, I truly would not want to act against you. I actually think quite highly of you and the Young Master."

"Actually, it's not that Xue Jie and I have no chance. As long as I win this duel, I will have five years to develop. Five years later, I am confident that even Bibi Dong will not be my opponent. By then, I will openly snatch Xue Jie to my harem to be the Crown Princess. And even if I lose, if I go to the Spirit Hall to follow Xue Jie, it doesn't necessarily mean I will die. I believe Xue Jie will protect me. Even if she can't protect me in the end, if I can die by Xue Jie's side, I will have died for a worthy cause." Feihuang smiled indifferently.

Seeing Nan Feihuang's smile, Snake Spear knew the reason for his calmness.

He had a desire for victory, but no fear of defeat; his heart had reached the optimal state. This mindset could allow his strength to be displayed beyond its limits.

Feihuang continued, "Your Excellency Snake Spear, I want to thank you. Ever since I learned that Brother Xue was actually Xue Jie, I guessed that the person who had been acting as the postman between Xue Jie and me all along was you. You can be considered the matchmaker for Xue Jie and me. Therefore, no matter what, I will not kill you. If I lose this battle, I will keep my word and let you return to the Spirit Hall. If I am lucky enough to win, then please continue to be a guest in my Gu Lei Kingdom for a few years, Senior. I will treat you with good food and drink."

"Understood, kid." Snake Spear ate a pastry. "The taste is not bad. Actually, living here isn't so bad. Kid Feihuang, just go and fight to your heart's content; the Offering lords are not easy to deal with."

"Then, farewell, Your Excellency!" Nan Feihuang stood up and walked out.

Just as he pushed open the door, Snake Spear Douluo suddenly said, "Kid Feihuang, you may not care about winning or losing, but life and death are different. Try your best to survive. I watched the Young Master grow up from a young age. I know that in the Young Master's heart, I am at most a subordinate, but in my heart, the Young Master is no different from my own junior. The Young Master loves you very much; if you die, she will be heartbroken."

"Rest assured, Senior, I will not die. When I snatch Xue Jie from the Spirit Hall in the future, I will arrange for you to sit at the main table at the wedding!" Feihuang looked back and smiled confidently.

"What an arrogant kid," Snake Spear Douluo said helplessly.

However, this kid's arrogance did not seem annoying, because he knew that this kid possessed the ability to turn big talk into reality.

A few days later, the time for the duel arrived. On this day, the sun was shining brightly. At the summit of Guteleisi Mountain, all the experts of the Gu Lei Kingdom gathered here, and the entire mountain peak was filled with intense fighting spirit.

Most of the spectators gathered on another mountain peak not far from Guteleisi Mountain; looking over from there, they could just face each other across the mountains.

Most of those who came to watch were high-level Spirit Masters, and their eyesight was still quite good. Soon, someone shouted, "Look, the people from the Offering Hall have arrived."

They saw five streaks of light flying through the sky, with five sturdy figures lined up in a row.

The two on the left: one was a handsome man with cyan hair and a gentle, elegant face, and the other had fiery red hair and a beard with a rugged physique. They should be Qingluan Douluo and Lion Douluo.

The two on the right were middle-aged men with very similar, firm, and steady faces; they were undoubtedly the brothers Qianjun and Jiangmo.

And the man standing in the center C-position had a tall physique, wore golden armor, and his facial features carried a sense of ferocity; he was undoubtedly the Second Offering of the Spirit Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Except for Qian Daoliu and Guangling Douluo, the five great Offerings of the Spirit Hall had all appeared.

Guangling was likely still recovering from his injuries and would not come, and as for Qian Daoliu, how could he possibly appear just like that without any presence?

Unless the Gu Lei Kingdom could win at least two of the first four matches, he might show his face.

Nan Feihuang would not become careless just because Qian Daoliu did not appear.

Qian Daoliu had the title of Angel High Priest and was invincible in the sky; in fact, the other six Offerings also had their own.

Golden light fills the air, cold and sharp; a hundred battles worn in golden armor.

The azure sky is proud of the cold phoenix; the sound of dust is silent and mute.

The lion roars at the bright sun; a drink that makes a hundred beasts tremble in fear.

Frost descends to the limit; bright eyes bloom ice flowers.

Wielding a force of ten thousand jun; the coiled dragon waits to parry.

Hating that all living things are hard to save; sweeping away demons with angry curses.

These six lines of poetry each described one person, from the Second Offering, Golden Crocodile, to the Seventh Offering, Jiangmo.

When these six great Offerings shook the continent back then, these were the words of praise from the Spirit Master world for them.
