Speechless said in surprise, "Why did you follow?"
Shi Xiaobai gave Speechless a complicated look and sighed. He said, "Sorry about that. This King forgot to tell you that This King is actually the Infernal King..."

Chapter418 Does the naked Infernal Queen look good?
"Sorry about that. This King forgot to tell you that This King is actually the Infernal King..."
Shi Xiaobai sighed while having mixed feelings. He never expected that Speechless would be the Celestial King.
What was he to do now?
If he wanted to complete the Absolute Choice's mission, he needed to kill the Celestial King, but the Celestial King was Speechless, who was a friend and the silver-haired girl's brother. He also seemed to be related to Mu Yuesheng, so how could he possibly kill him?
But if he did not kill him, in the event the Absolute Choice failed...
Shi Xiaobai immediately began to have a headache.
Speechless was also feeling mixed feelings. He said with a dry laugh, "Why didn't you fucking say so earlier. This is somewhat embarrassing."
Speechless originally thought he had been cool. To be the Celestial King despite being a trial-taker was something pretty cool when said out loud. Furthermore, he had just 'tricked' Shi Xiaobai to enter a bet he was bound to lose. He had perfectly grasped the opportunity to reveal his identity. Supposedly, Shi Xiaobai should have been extremely angry and shock everyone else. It would have been a great act of posturing.
But he never expected that Shi Xiaobai was the Infernal King!
Shi Xiaobai was the supreme existence in the Infernal domain, the Infernal domain that stood by his word!
Shi Xiaobai was the Infernal King who had the most beautiful Infernal Queen!
Shi Xiaobai was the Infernal King who he was once envious and jealous of!
And looking back at himself, as Celestial King, not only did he have to shoulder the blame of losing the Celestial Jade, instigating the war, burning the Transcendence Holy Tree and all sorts of blames, he was also not the strongest person in name, and he wasn't a ruler with any power.
Fuck, it would be harmless if there wasn't any comparison.
Speechless immediately felt that his role as Celestial King and Shi Xiaobai's role as Infernal King were like night and day.
Shi Xiaobai seemed to be telling him—You think you are cool? That doesn't exist!
Speechless felt very upset.
Speechless fell silent for a long while before he said in a hoarse manner, "It's said that the Infernal Queen is the most beautiful person in the world. Is the Infernal Queen beautiful?"
Shi Xiaobai was racking his head about the problem with the Absolute Choice, so when he heard this strange question, he was momentarily unsure of the answer. He could only give a vague answer, "Probably?"
Speechless immediately said with a hoarse voice, "Then...does the naked Infernal Queen look good?"
Shi Xiaobai was appalled. What sort of question was that?
However, Shi Xiaobai's mind could not help but flash the scene of the naked Infernal Queen. To be honest, to say that she did not look good was something unconscionable. Shi Xiaobai always felt that he was a person with a 'conscience', so he nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Oh my!"
Speechless held his chest and uttered a strange scream. His expression was one of utter pitifulness.
Speechless felt like he had received 10,000 damage. Why was he the king of blame, while Shi Xiaobai was the king of good fortune. He had to face seven old fools every day, while Shi Xiaobai could face the naked Infernal Queen every night?
"Shi Xiaobai, This Emperor will definitely not show any mercy. Prepare to get beaten up by This Emperor!"
Speechless put down some smack talk as he silently turned and walked to the corner of a wall. He felt like he had received such a huge shock that he needed to rest his mind.
Shi Xiaobai was somewhat flabbergasted. He found Speechless weird. Not only were his questions weird, his reaction was also very weird.
"Weirdo."
Shi Xiaobai came out with such a conclusion before he began racking his brains again.
...
Above the basin, Sunless and company were equally feeling complicated.
Feng Yuanlin said with a dry chuckle, "To be honest, I have always been looking forward to Boss Shi Xiaobai's battle with Speechless, but who knew it would be under such circumstances."
Liu Yu muttered to himself, "Shi Xiaobai is made the Infernal King, while Speechless is made the Celestial King. It looks like it's not a coincidence or mistake, but because they were chosen. But by who? Indeed, the two of them were the chosen ones?"
Pulp Farmer said with a heavy voice, "This is a life-and-death battle. Victory can only be determined only through death. What will the two do?"
Mu Yuesheng said with a frown, "The two of them wouldn't...really fight to the death, right?"
Sunless stared at Shi Xiaobai as her eyes flashed with a look of worry.
The silver-haired girl swung her gaze between Shi Xiaobai and Speechless. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and fear.
...
As the new Transcendent king, the gatekeeping giant had even more complicated feelings. He never expected that the human that defeated his father, Leonis, in the Braveheart Martial Arts Tournament was the Infernal King that pretended to be a Braveheart!
"Shameless Infernal King. You pretended to be a Braveheart to become the tournament's champion and make the Transcendents think that the race of the Transcendents is not the strongest race in the world. What a sinister plot! You have to die today. This King will make you die a horrible death!"
The gatekeeping giant bellowed angrily!
If not for Shi Xiaobai, his father, Leonis, would not have been defeated. The faith of the Transcendents would not be questioned. They would not be in a hurry to prove the bloodline of the Transcendents and Leonis would not have died. The Transcendence Holy Tree would also not be destroyed by the sinister Celestial King...
If Shi Xiaobai did not appear, the gears of fate would not have turned towards such a tragic end!
Everything was Shi Xiaobai's fault!
And the human who called himself Shi Xiaobai was the disguise of the Infernal King!
This was a grudge added over an older grudge. The giant was extremely infuriated!
There were more and more Transcendents gathered above the basin as they looked at Shi Xiaobai. They recalled everything that had happened at the Braveheart Martial Arts Tournament. After recalling the story that King Leonis exploded to his death due to the internal injuries left behind from that battle, their angry emotions could no longer be curbed!
"Shameless Infernal King!"
"The Infernal King and Celestial King are fucking bastards!"
"My heavens, how can there be such an insidious Infernal King!?"
The Transcendents angrily voiced their grievances. And the Infernals that were present naturally could not tolerate the Transcendents scolding their king. They immediately scolded back angrily.
The scene immediately turned into a din as both sides almost began to fight!
"Silence!"
Shi Xiaobai shouted towards the Infernal domain group. The Infernals hurriedly shut their mouths and their stunning discipline showed once again.
Shi Xiaobai turned to look at the Transcendents and said loudly, "The matter isn't as you imagined. After this life-and-death battle is over, This King will find a time to explain it to all of you. This matter...is very complicated."
The matter was indeed very complicated. Shi Xiaobai found it very difficult to explain it. He also did not expect that he would suddenly go from being a Braveheart to the Infernal King.
Everything did seem like a shameless plot, but it was not the case.
However, the giant clearly would not believe him. He said with a sneer, "After t
he life-and-death battle is over, you will be a corpse. No, you wouldn't even have a corpse left."
Shi Xiaobai could only give a helpless smile. He did not speak another word because even if there wasn't a misunderstanding, the Transcendents would hate him greatly after the life-and-death battle because if nothing surprising happened, the giant would definitely die in battle.
Shi Xiaobai was feeling very complicated.
A battle that used death to determine the outcome was supposed to be simple and brutal.
But now, it would be a complex life-and-death battle.

Chapter419 Posturing before the battle
Noon was quickly approaching. Soon, the life-and-death battle between the three kings would begin. The thirty thousand members of audience had already reached and they had circled above the basin. It was quite an amazing scene.
And in the basin, the three kings were standing at each corner of the basin, forming a triangular formation. A repressed atmosphere filled the entire basin as the gatekeeping giant exuded a killing intent that made the audience above the basin feel suffocated.
At that moment, someone in the audience yelled.
"Ah, quick look. What is the Celestial King doing!?"
The yell made many surrounding spectators involuntarily turn their heads to look at Speechless.
They saw Speechless's hands behind his back. From the front, it looked like he was making a cool pose of only having his hands behind his back, but from the back, keen-eyed spectators saw a strange scene.
Speechless' hands were crossed and there was a strong rope that tied them together!
In the basin, there was no one else other than the three kings. Furthermore, the distance between the three kings was quite considerable. Who could have tied the Celestial King's hands together?
"The Celestial King is tying up himself!"
"What is going on? Why did the Celestial King tie his own hands? Could it be a warm-up before the battle?"
"It can't be? How can there be such a strange warm-up before the battle?"
The audience began buzzing. Pulp Farmer and the other two looked at each other and discussed about Speechless's actions. Sunless only stared in Shi Xiaobai's direction. She was completely unconcerned with the development on Speechless's side. As for the silver-haired girl and Mu Yuesheng, they spontaneously rolled their eyes at that moment.
Shi Xiaobai and the giant heard the audience's discussion as they turned to look at Speechless.
The giant asked in a deep voice, "Despicable Celestial King, what games are you playing now?"
The giant found himself too naive so in the face of the shameless Infernal King and the despicable Celestial King, he needed to constantly increase vigilance and intelligence or it was very likely he would be deceived.
Now, even a game of tying hands came out.
Was this playing to the gallery? Or was it to make him underestimate his opponent?
Speechless was very pleased that everyone's eyes were on him. The corner of his lips curled up slightly and his eyes looked on with disdain. In an invincible and lonely looking pose, he said, "From This King's point of view, defeating the both of you doesn't require hands."
This was Speechless's answer as to why he tied his two hands.
It had to be said that his answer was rendering everyone speechless.
The Infernal and Transcendent audience went into an uproar as they found the Celestial King extremely arrogant to dare make such a bold statement and belittle their kings.
On the Celestial domain side, the members of the audience had changes in expression. They knew that the Celestial King was very strong, so strong that he could crush Field Marshal Awesomo, but the Infernal King and the new Transcendent King were not weak either. Why the heck was he not using both hands!?
The silver-haired girl and Mu Yuesheng both revealed disdainful looks, giving "I knew it" expressions.
Feng Yuanlin's eyes shimmered with a look of enlightenment, as he shouted, "Holy crap, how could I have forgotten it. Posturing before battles is a hallmark of Speechless, right?"
Liu Yu smacked his lips and said, "Posturing before battles is indeed Speechless's famous habit, but who knew that he would dare to do so against the giant and Shi Xiaobai."
Pulp Farmer said in a deep voice, "Isn't this posturing a bit too much? Although Speechless is considered the number one youth in China, with unfathomable strength, Shi Xiaobai doesn't seem much weaker than him, right? By tying his own hands, he might be biting off more than he can chew."
In the basin, the giant produced a deafening laughter, "You will pay a bitter price for your arrogance."
On the other hand, Shi Xiaobai remained calm. He knew that Speechless was not a brainless, arrogant person. Speechless definitely had a way to fight if he said that he did not need his hands.
However, the posturing was done in a very stiff manner.
At that moment, the giant suddenly turned his head and said to a spot above the basin, "Moya, throw that thing over!"
Everyone's attention was immediately diverted by the giant's words.
Moya, who was on the edge of the basin, responded, "Your Majesty, the Infernal King is clearly a shameless wretch. Are you really going to do it?"
The giant angrily said, "Cut the crap, throw the thing over!"
Just as the giant's words faded, a black object was thrown towards the sky and landed inside the basin.
Everyone stared with widened eyes as they tried to discern the black object.
What was the object the giant got Moya to throw over? What did it have to do with the Infernal King?
Under the blinding sunlight, they finally managed to discern the black object's true shape. It was a black sword.
The black sword not only had a black blade, even its surroundings was lingering with a faint black mist. It was like ghosts of darkness were swirling around it as they continuously exuded a daunting cold aura in the burning sunlight.
The black sword spun in mid-air before landing on the ground. With a final boom, it stabbed into the ground in front of Shi Xiaobai.
"This is your Infernal Sword."
The giant said coldly, "For some reason, this sword had appeared in Transcendence, but it is definitely not stolen by the Transcendents. Now, This King will return the Infernal Sword to you!"
Shi Xiaobai knew that the Infernal Sword was in Transcendence, but he never expected that the giant would voluntarily return it. What was he up to?
Shi Xiaobai could not help but wonder aloud, "Never knew that you would be so honest."
"Honest?"
The giant said with a sneer, "Shameless Infernal King, rumors say that with the Infernal Sword in hand, your strength will be enhanced to a whole new level. This King just wants to beat you into meat pulp when you are in your strongest state so as to prove the strength of the Transcendents."
Even if the giant knew that Shi Xiaobai was the shameless Infernal King who pretended to be a Braveheart, he had decided to go according to plan and return the Infernal Sword. He was confident that he could defeat the Infernal King in his strongest state. Furthermore, only by defeating the Infernal King in his strongest state was it fun enough!
This was the confidence of the strong!
"This is how the strong fucking posture!"
Feng Yuanlin said with mixed emotions, "First, it's Speechless tying his own hands. Next, it's the new Transcendent king returning the Infernal Sword. Their posturing methods seem to come from the same school. They both render people speechless, but you can't help but admire their confidence. It gives people the feeling that the strong should be like that!"
When Liu Yu and Pulp Farmer heard this, they felt the same way and nodded.
Shi Xiaobai was slightly surprised. He never expected that after Speechless finished posturing, the giant would also posture. However, Shi Xiaobai had no choice but to agree that the giant's post
uring was done very well. To return the Infernal Sword to his hand was such an altruistic act.
Shi Xiaobai reached out his hand and held the Infernal Sword. As he sensed the surging power in the Infernal Sword, he could not help but smile delightfully.
It was the real Infernal Sword!
It was like a cooked duck was sent right to his mouth!
Shi Xiaobai surveyed his surroundings and struggled. There were a bit too many people, but he could not resist it!
"Didn't eat breakfast. Kind of hungry."
Shi Xiaobai pretended to mutter to himself as he could not help but gulp.
Everyone was startled and was unsure what Shi Xiaobai meant by suddenly shouting that he was hungry. Only Speechless's eyes lit up slightly, but immediately, his eyes flashed with a look of disbelief.
And at the next moment, Shi Xiaobai suddenly raised the Infernal Sword and inserted it vertically into his mouth!
"Ah!?"
Everyone screamed!
However, they soon saw the Infernal Sword with its swirling black aura enter straight into Shi Xiaobai's throat. It was inserted completely in one move and finally, Shi Xiaobai closed his mouth and swallowed the entire sword!
"Burp~"
Shi Xiaobai could not help but burp.
At that moment, there was complete silence.
Shi Xiaobai immediately felt somewhat embarrassed, but it was mostly delight. The Infernal Sword was a true holy item. The nutritional value was on the same level as the Celestial Jade and Transcendent fruit. Now, by eating the Infernal Sword, it would definitely be of help in the upcoming battle. Furthermore, he could not help but burp. This was delightful news for Shi Xiaobai, who had eaten countless 'foods' but remained unsatiated.
He was finally satiated!
But to the thirty thousand spectators, this scene was ridiculous.
"I suspect that I might have a fake pair of eyes."
"I suspect that that might be a fake Infernal Sword."
"I suspect that is the Infernal King's trick."
"I suspect..."
Feng Yuanlin looked in shock at his two other partners and said, "What do you think of that?"
Liu Yu waved his whisk and said, "This Penniless Priest suspects that Shi Xiaobai is not eating an Infernal Sword but posturing."
