Chapter 832 Li Jun vs Di Jiaying (I)

Li Jun looked at the beautiful woman before him, clad in black armor. If he could use a word to describe her, it would be heroic. She did not release any aura, but she had a commanding presence.

Any man, woman, or race with a weaker mind cannot stay too long in her presence, let alone look her in the eyes; she was the embodiment of follow me and prosper, oppose me, and perish.

'Such a beautiful woman full of charm and charisma. What a shame.'

Only Li Jun knew whether he was referring to the fact they were on opposite sides and had to kill each other or that he no longer had the chance to court her. Or maybe, both.

"I have never slaughtered a tyrant before," said Li Jun calmly, with his Proving Dao Artifact transformed into a spear resting on his shoulder and his golden armor.

"But I have suppressed countless generals," replied Di Jiaying, her eyes not containing a single ripple.

"Is that so?" replied Li Jun nonchalantly. "I've been wondering something ever since I saw you. Someone with your Dao and displayed personality, there is no way you would be willing to serve under Di Tian. So, why did you do it?"

"How is that any of your business?"

"Did he force you? I bet he forced you."

"You talk too much," said Di Jiaying, before turning into a blur and appearing before Li Jun.

Boom!

Her fist compressed the surrounding s.p.a.ce-time into a singularity before exploding. However, Di Jiaying was not happy as she gazed to her side, where the perfectly intact Li Jun calmly looked at her with a smile.

"How about you join our side?" continued Li Jun. "I'm sure a woman such as yourself bears a grudge. Why don't you betray him as payback for what he did to you."

"Are you done?" asked Di Jiaying with an indifferent voice.

"Did I tell any lies? With his personality, I'm pretty sure he humiliated you in the process of subduing you. So, why not take this opportunity to take your revenge."

"Your mind games are useless," said Di Jiaying. "Even if we had any problems, it's nothing compared to the clan's prosperity."

Clan Prosperity? In front of immortality, eternity, escaping the shackles of death, and standing above all myriad races and beings, what are clan values?" countered Li Jun with a sneer.

"Brothers and sisters, fathers and sons, mothers and sons, all have betrayed each other for the throne. But you're talking about clan prosperity."

He did not hide the mockery in his face or eyes.

"Furthermore, do you think that ruthless monster will care about the Di Clan's prosperity? Hahaha, that's the biggest joke I've heard in my million years as a cultivator."

"Enough!" roared Di Jiaying as she slapped her hands together, generating two suppressing forces similar to gravity that tried to squatch Li Jun into meat sauce.

"Did I step into a nerve?" he asked with the brilliant smile he used to charm many of the female disciples of the sect. However, to his However, Li Jun smoothly waved his spear in a semi-circle motion, breaking Di Jiaying's power.

"Did I step into a nerve?" he asked with the brilliant smile he used to charm many of the female disciples of the sect. However, to his opponent, this smile was outright disgusting.

"However, I am only telling the truth," continued Li Jun. "Look at you. You're a proud Heaven Chosen who had to seal herself for one reason or another. You probably planned to wake up at the appropriate time, prove the Dao and become a being that reigned supreme above Heaven and Earth.

"However, your clan discarded your request and personal wishes and woke you up to become a general to someone else. They did not care about the fact they ruined millions of years of your effort, forcing you to have to re-suffer again."

[World Suppression]

Di Jiaying had fierce eyes as she released a suppressing potent enough to do catastrophic damage to a Great Thousand World.

Crack!

Li Jun's pa.s.sive response to only create a red s.h.i.+eld to protect him did not last long as cracks appeared all over the s.h.i.+eld. Luckily, the s.h.i.+eld barely managed to defend against this technique, but he also needed to reinforce it constantly.

"I heard the sealing process is excruciating," continued Li Jun with a tone that made people wish they would destroy his handsome face.

"I heard the endless loneliness is strong enough to destroy the hardest of wills, to shatter the most robust Dao Heart, and render the most flawless state of mind useless.

"Most people give up halfway before was.h.i.+ng away their karma, giving up on their Emperor Path. However, you're one of the few who succeeded. And yet, everything was in vainall your hard work and suffering for nothing."

Di Jiaying's overbearing aura trembled slightly. She increased the suppression her technique was releasing. Immediately, Li Jun controlled all the molecules in his body to generate a terrifying vibrating force that countered her suppressing force.

"You're telling me, after enduring such grievance and maltreatment, you have no hatred, resentment, or complaints in your heart? You must be a Saint or Buddha.

"No, even the most righteous Saint or enlightened Buddha would not experience such a thing and remain intact."

"Is this all you amount to? Running your mouth?" asked Di Jiaying with slightly red eyes.

"I just want us to have a heart-to-heart conversation before our match," said Li Jun, his smile never diminis.h.i.+ng. "Plus, I"m a pacifist at my core. It would be best if I could prevent this battle."

Di Jiaying took a deep breath before closing her eyes. Numerous uncontrollable thoughts flashed in her mind, almost overwhelming her spirit. However, a face with black and white hair and indifferent eyes appeared in her mind. She immediately s.h.i.+vered before using all her strength and willpower to suppress these thoughts and negative emotions.

She opened her eyes, her pupil calm like an untouched lake. At least, it appeared as such.

"You want to have a heart-to-heart, then let's talk about you," said Di Jiaying, gazing directly into her opponent's eyes.

"You have spent your entire life in someone's shadow, overwhelmed by their brilliance and excellence. Soon, that person will become a higher ent.i.ty with your help, and what will you get in return?

"Probably a Grand Dao Source Seed as a consolation prize. He will then go on to become the brightest star in this world while you'll probably be stuck in this place, protecting his sect and family while your cultivation moves slower than a turtle.

"Your talent is no worse than any of this generation's most brilliant Heaven Chosen. So, why do you want to be someone else's guard dog? Why not forge your own path and s.h.i.+ne your own light?

"Even if you don't succeed in the end, it's better than being a lapdog."

Li Jun looked at her, shocked she would say something like this. As such, he could not react for a few seconds before his laughter echoed between Heaven and Earth.

"What's so funny?" asked Di Jiaying, her voice not hiding her anger.

Li Jun did not answer and only shook his head. His future was bright as he was destined to prove the Dao in this generation. So, her a.n.a.lysis was fundamentally wrong.

Furthermore, how can such nonsense words break the bond he has with his big brother? The bond they created since childhood.

"Can I tell you a secret?" asked Li Jun. Then, he answered before she said anything: "When we were 6, a bunch of kids wanted revenge against me and secretly placed a pill in my drink.

"Luckily for me, my big brother visited me that day and was the one who drank it. So, while we were playing around the forest, the pill took effect. And let's just say it cleansed his stomach.

"The pill acted fast, so he did not have time to run home and had to use the forest. I remember that day very much because of the terrible smell of that lingered like a resentful ghost.

"Hahaha. The situation then turned for the worse when a maid discovered our location, and I was forced to take the blame. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he tricked me into admitting it was my fault, talking about the reputation of the future sect master."

Li Jun had a smile along with a look of reminiscence.

"Oh, how young and carefree we were."

He then focused on Di Jiaying.

"Do you know why I'm telling you this?"

She did not understand.

"Our bond is not something you could possibly fathom. When I started my cultivation journey, I made an oath that my spear would eliminate all obstacles to his Emperor's Path.

"And I can tell you, even if he did not walk on this path, I would not hesitate to sacrifice my life for him. And I know for a fact he would do the same.

"So, please do not insult our bond with your words."

As soon as Li Jun finished these words, a bright, upright, and intense aura emanated from his body. His spirit had reached the ultimate state of readiness for this battle.
