Chapter 1682

Watson was annoyed when he realized that Darryl would not go down. He turned to Master Ralph and yelled, “You

are the host. Tell us, does Darryl getting onto the stage count as breaking the tournament rules?”

Uh…

Master Ralph had an awkward and conflicted expression on his face. He pondered about that.

Watson and the others were right. However, he could not afford to offend Darryl as well.

“Get off the stage first.” Darryl softly reminded Celine yet again.

Celine nodded and walked off the stage.

The crowd got impatient and tried to gang up on Celine. However, they decided to hold back because they were

afraid of Darryl.

Woo!

Darryl turned to look at Master Ralph when he saw that Celine had gotten off the stage safely. He said, “Master

Ralph, the purpose of this tournament was to fight each other and not to fight to one’s death. The Honorable Pianist

no longer had the energy to continue fighting; it would be pointless to continue with the fight. Now that I am here to

take her place, is there any wrong in that?”

“Uh…” Master Ralph nodded and said bitterly, “Master Darby has a point too…”

Then, Watson decided to be sarcastic again. “Interesting! You disrupted the tournament, yet you made it seem as if

your actions were justified.”

Then, he sneered at Darryl and said, “Since you must replace Celine, then the rules should change as well. From

now onward, you have to go against two opponents. You like to pity women, right? Want to be the hero and save

them? Well, we’ll give you a chance to do just that.”

The crowd nodded in agreement.

“Yes, since Master Darby wants to fight, then we’ll play along.”

“With his powers, going up against two opponents at the same time is a piece of cake for him.”

“This is a great suggestion.”

As they discussed that, the crowd’s eyes flashed in excitement and maliciousness.

The Elysium Gate had been growing strongly for the past few years. They were famous throughout the Nine

Mainland. Darryl, as its Sect Master, was also a well-known figure.

Darryl was also a level five Martial Emperor. Everyone knew that they would not stand a chance if they were to go

one-on-one against him. However, it would be a different outcome if they had help.

Darryl smiled. ‘These people are too shameful. They want two or more people up on the battle stage at any one

time.’

Darryl took a step forward and looked at Watson without any fear. “Whatever! I am fine with any number of

challengers!”

Darryl had the White Lily Cold Flame, Rocky the enchanted beast, and the Heavenly Halberd. Even if he were to

face thousands of opponents, he was not afraid at all!

“Hubby!”

An anxious voice came from below the stage—it was Lily!

Her ten fingers were intertwined. Her palms sweated, and her eyes were full of concern and anxiety. “Hubby, don’t

agree to that.” Those people would do anything for the treasures. Darryl was only one person; how could he handle

them all? All of them were powerful cultivators from the Nine Mainland.

Simultaneously, Celine, who was in mid-meditation, looked at Darryl tightly; her heart was about to pop.

‘There are still so many people. Can Darryl still win?”

Darryl’s heart warmed when he saw the concern on Lily and Celine’s faces. He nodded at them before he turned

around and walked onto the battle stage!

Then, he engaged his energy field. He scanned his surroundings and roared, “Those who wish to challenge him,

bring it on.”

His voice was not extremely loud, but it was full of grandeur.

Swoosh!

The crowd looked at each other; no one dared to respond.

At the same time, Megan, who sat below the battle stage, emitted a strong aura. It rose instantly as she locked her

gaze onto Darryl.

‘Darryl, you’re finally here.’ Megan smiled as she looked at Darryl as she entertained the thoughts in her head. ‘I’ll

wait until your internal energy is almost depleted, then I’ll deal with you! I have to get the rights to Queenie, no

matter what.’
