Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return Chapter 1867: How Can This Person Be So Shameless
Previously on Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return...
To know that even if she really slapped her face, according to the temple law, he couldn’t do anything to her. He could only appeal to the Life God Temple. By the time officials are sent to investigate, knowing that he was the first to be rude, it might end unresolved. Even if she is punished, it wouldn’t cost her life, but his lifetime reputation would be completely ruined.
The tough fear the stubborn, that’s the idea. More critically, Han Yan wasn’t just stubborn. From her previous challenge to Long Wucuo to now challenging him, it’s clearly a death-defying attitude. It’s better not to try to impress with words against such a person; just start the fight directly.
"Dragon Chief Priest, why not bear this momentarily, and set the rules for the following contest according to regulations?" seeing him accept Han Yan’s challenge so readily, Ou Dechuan advised with a frown.
Although knowing Long Aoli’s strength was far above their eleven chief priests, having seen Han Yan defeat Long Wucuo’s performance, he still felt uneasy.
As long as the rules are reset, with their twelve chief priests working together, how could they not handle a single Han Yan, why take such a risk?
"No need, since she is set on seeking death, I shall fulfill her wish." Long Aoli said coldly.
He knew that resetting the rules would make dealing with Han Yan much easier. But with Han Yan challenging him in front of thousands of priests from all the temples, if he didn’t dare to fight, how could he face anyone in the future?
Moreover, just because Long Wucuo was not Han Yan’s match doesn’t mean he is not her match either. Being able to become the chief priest of the Heavenly Sun Temple and outshine the other temple chief priests, he has his pride.
As he spoke, Long Aoli already flew off the platform.
Offstage, immediate cheers and shouts erupted. The priests of the Heavenly Sun Temple cheered for their chief priest, while the priests of other temples were filled with anticipation for the upcoming contest.
"Make a move, I’ll let you take three actions, during which I’ll only defend and not attack." Long Aoli said with a demeanor full of pride, holding his sword behind him.
There was an uproar below.
They had all witnessed Han Yan’s strength firsthand. Due to her being of similar age, even knowing their temple is at odds with her, many still viewed her as an idol. Who could have expected Long Aoli to be so conceited?
However, no one thought Long Aoli was being overconfident. His words clearly showcased absolute confidence in his ability. Now, Han Yan most likely hit a tough wall.
Han Yan’s expression also became grave. Easily defeating Long Wucuo earlier had given her immense confidence, which is why she dared to immediately challenge Long Aoli, but it was clear she underestimated her opponent.
"How could I refuse? As peers of the same temple, Dragon Chief Priest favoring me so, is this underestimating me?" Han Yan feigned politeness with a sentence, then immediately continued, "However, the Dragon Chief Priest is after all my elder, if I refuse, it’d be disrespectful. Thanks then, three moves, no more, else if I win it wouldn’t be honorable."
Now wasn’t the time to be vain, Han Yan wouldn’t stupidly waste such a good opportunity. Of course, being a chief priest, she too cares about face, and her aura couldn’t be weaker than her opponent’s, no matter what, appearance had to be kept up.
Long Aoli suddenly felt like coughing up blood. Hearing Han Yan’s righteous talk initially thought she was too prideful to accept his concession, in the end, she still wanted the concession, yet saying it as if he forced her. How shameless can one be?
"Go ahead," Long Aoli said impatiently.
"By the way, Dragon Chief Priest, later when you lose, you won’t regret those three moves, will you? If so, better not concede." Han Yan didn’t attack immediately but asked worriedly.
What kind of question is this, as if I’ve already lost. Long Aoli’s face turned sour again, suddenly realizing his earlier words were an enormous mistake.
"Enough talk, attack." Long Aoli drank irritably.
"Don’t be hasty, some things need clear acknowledgment first, otherwise if you play tricks later and refuse to admit it, what then?" Han Yan persisted.
"Rest assured, if I lose, I will not deny it." Long Aoli gritted his teeth and stated.
"Everyone heard that, if the Dragon Chief Priest doesn’t acknowledge it later, everyone must testify for me." Han Yan once again cast her gaze toward the other chief priests.
The onlooking chief priests were instantly speechless, they hadn’t even started yet, why talk as if she’d already won? Where does she get the confidence?
"Mu Hanyan, are you going to fight or not?" Long Aoli exclaimed angrily, nearly jumping in frustration.
"Fight!" Instantly, a flash of chill passed.
No one expected Han Yan’s move to be so sudden. They listened to her persistently argue just now, yet didn’t expect she’d act as soon as she said "fight". Stricter speaking, before she finished saying "fight", she had already moved.
The strike was so abrupt that fiery light erupted from the sword, a burning Fire Spear pierced swiftly towards Long Aoli’s chest, leaving many without time to react.
Long Aoli himself was momentarily distracted, similarly not expecting Han Yan to attack right after her chatter. Speaking of it, Han Yan’s move was clearly a sneak attack, yet since he had already said "do it", she didn’t break any rules.
Seeing the Fire Spear rushing in, Long Aoli had no time to berate Han Yan for treachery, his longsword spread open, creating fluctuating light shadows in front of him, forming a massive translucent Light Shield, gleaming like crystal yet giving an ethereal sense, it was actually a Wind Shield.
Each priest’s talents are different, having little relation to bloodline. Long Wucuo was best at Death Divine Skill, while his father Long Aoli was best at Wind Element Divine Skill.
Although Wind Element Divine Skill isn’t known for defense, if the shield is dense enough to become tangible, it’s not much less than a Earth Elemental Divine Skill’s Earth Shield. Combined with the Wind Law’s light and agile properties, it often has the effect of overcoming hardness with softness, making it more practical than Earth Shield.
Long Aoli’s Wind Shield was clearly such. No wonder he dared to boast of letting Han Yan take three moves; indeed, he had the confidence.
"Ding" the burning Fire Spear jabbed fiercely against the Wind Shield, surprisingly, producing a sharp metallic clang, then froze in mid-air, unable to advance another inch.
A smirk appeared on Long Aoli’s face. The reason Han Yan easily broke Long Wucuo’s Death Shield before was due to the mutual restraint between the Life Principle and Death Law. Being slightly stronger in power grants absolute advantage. But now, Han Yan’s Fire Law against his Wind Law had no apparent restraint, how could it break his Wind Shield that he’s cultivated for half a lifetime?
