Surrender

Wine Emperor?

Although the experts on Sole Dominance Mountain were full of expectations for Zhuge Xiang's strength, they were all stunned when they heard that Zhuge Xiang's opponent was actually the Wine Emperor. They then shook their heads inwardly.

The Wine Emperor, one of the Five Emperors, is so powerful that his strength rivals that of the Nine Great Emperor. No matter how strong Zhuge Xiang is, he could never be a match for the Wine Emperor.

"Husband, be careful," Mo Lingna said, her hands clasped together, looking at Zhuge Xiang with a worried expression.

Although she had great confidence in Zhuge Xiang's strength, upon hearing that Zhuge Xiang's opponent was actually the Wine Emperor, even if Mo Lingna had complete confidence in Zhuge Xiang, she couldn't help but worry. Although the Asura Emperor and the Asura Emperor were both strong at the same level, the Emperor level was definitely a peak existence of the Immortal-Demon level.

"The Wine Emperor?" Zhuge Xiang stood quietly, his breathing even, relaxing every inch of his skin. Zhuge Xiang knew very well that facing a powerhouse of the Wine Emperor's level, being nervous would not be of any benefit. It was better to open his heart and follow his intuition in the fight. Zhuge Xiang himself was not very confident in this battle, but Zhuge Xiang also knew that this battle was related to whether he could Winning the Championship in this Sacred War.

Zhuge Xiang was facing off against the Wine Emperor, one of the Five Emperors. Whether Human Heart were nervous, apprehensive, or thought that Zhuge Xiang was doomed to lose, the Wine Emperor seemed completely unconcerned. Holding his wine gourd, he walked slowly toward Zhuge Xiang, his gait unsteady, as if he might collapse at any moment.

However, no one on Sole Dominance Mountain dared to underestimate this swaying figure. For he was the Wine Emperor. The mere mention of his name was enough to instill pressure in anyone.

Approaching Zhuge Xiang carefully examined the Wine Emperor before him. Judging from his appearance, it was difficult to determine his age. He looked like a man around thirty at first glance, but upon closer inspection, he seemed to be a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties...

With his disheveled hair and bleary eyes, he exuded no aura whatsoever. If it weren't for the fact that the name of the Wine Emperor resounded throughout the Asura Path, Zhuge Xiang might have mistaken him for just an ordinary drunkard.

"I didn't expect that the first round would be against you. I hope you won't hold back," Zhuge Xiang said, looking at the Wine Emperor standing in front of him.

Just how strong is an Emperor-level being? How much stronger are they than those Asura Emperors? Zhuge Xiang was very curious and wanted to find out for sure.

"Hiccup..." However, upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, the Wine Emperor suddenly hiccuped, staggered, and almost fell over. Then, he touched the back of his head, showing no fighting spirit whatsoever, but instead giving off a simple and honest feeling. "You, don't be polite. Actually, I hate fighting the most. I concede this battle."

"Admit defeat!?" The Wine Emperor's words shocked all the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain. They hadn't expected that the Wine Emperor would admit defeat so soon after stepping onto the stage and before even making a move. This outcome was something none of the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain had anticipated.

"I... I didn't hear wrong? The Wine Emperor actually admitted defeat directly?" An Asura Emperor stared wide-eyed, looking incredulous.

It's understandable for the weak to concede defeat when facing a strong opponent, knowing they are no match. However, the fact that the Wine Emperor, one of the Five Emperors, would concede defeat against a mere Asura King is something no one can comprehend.

"Hates fighting and killing the most? Did I hear that right?" The White Bone Emperor raised an eyebrow slightly, staring at the Wine Emperor. In the Asura Path, everyone possessed Battle Will, but the Wine Emperor, as one of the Five Emperors, actually said that he hated fighting and killing the most? This should be completely impossible in the Asura Path.

"Has the Battle Will been extinguished?" The Purple Emperor said calmly, his gaze fixed on the Wine Emperor, a hint of melancholy in his expression.

Regardless, the Wine Emperor was one of the Five Emperors. Unexpectedly, his Battle Will was extinguished today. Without the Battle Will, in this Asura Path where killing is the main focus, death is death, and there is no way to be resurrected.

When the Wine Emperor uttered his words of surrender, Sole Dominance Mountain fell silent for a moment, followed by a great uproar and much discussion. Although the Wine Emperor's words of surrender were plain, they were nothing short of astonishing to the powerful figures of the Asura Path.

Not to mention the powerful Immortal-Demon level on Sole Dominance Mountain, even the Nine Great Emperor were stunned when they heard the Wine Emperor admit defeat. Then, the gazes of the eight Great Emperors were all focused on one of them, with a hint of a smile in their eyes.

The Five Emperors are five of the Nine Great Emperor, and the Wine Emperor's master is none other than the Phantom Great Emperor, known for his uncanny speed among the Nine Great Emperor. The Phantom Great Emperor's expression was equally unpleasant at the ambiguous smiles of the other eight Great Emperors.

Although he had noticed that the Wine Emperor seemed a bit off lately, the guy had always been a heavy drinker and had never acted strangely before. Therefore, the Phantom Great Emperor didn't delve too deeply into the Wine Emperor's reasons. However, he didn't expect that the Wine Emperor had actually lost his Battle Will, which was no small matter in the Asura Path.

"To admit defeat in the Duel arena is the first time for our Asura Path since the Sacred War. Does this count?" The Nine Great Emperor looked at each other, and then one of them spoke up.

"No, it doesn't count," the Great Emperor said. Another person shook his head firmly and said, "The Sacred War is to replenish the fighting spirit of our Asura Path. If everyone surrenders like him, how can there be any fighting in our Asura Path? This is a matter of life and death for our Asura Path, and we must not compromise."

"It's not that serious? Since the Wine Emperor doesn't want to fight, forcing him to fight won't help. Besides, we, the Asura Path, are all people with a strong fighting spirit. One or two such incidents are nothing to worry about."

Some Great Emperor objected, but Great Emperor agreed. Although the Wine Emperor's surrender was unexpected, even the fiercest battles in the Asura Path cannot force those who don't want to fight to do so.

Whether the Wine Emperor's concede counts is a matter of debate even among the great Great Emperor. In fact, such a concede is unprecedented in the Sacred War.

"Alright, enough said. The Wine Emperor is under the command of the Phantom Great Emperor. This matter should be left to the Phantom Great Emperor to decide personally," one of Great Emperor suggested as they argued their points.

"That's all we can do," the Great Emperor. They knew that continuing like this wouldn't lead to a conclusion, and after careful consideration, they realized that this was a compromise that could barely convince everyone.

The gazes of the great Great Emperor finally fell upon the Phantom Great Emperor, and even the Asura Emperor and Asura Emperor on Sole Dominance Mountain Phantom Great Emperor turned their attention to him, awaiting his decision.

No matter how surprising the Wine Emperor's words of surrender may be, ultimately, whether his words count or not is up to the Great Emperor to decide.

Under the watchful eyes of the Emperor, Phantom Great Emperor did not rush to answer. Instead, he kept his gaze on Wine Emperor, pondering inwardly what had happened to Wine Emperor that had extinguished his Battle Will. For the Great Emperor, Wine Emperor, a powerful Emperor-level expert, was an extremely capable assistant. Losing him would be a great loss for the Great Emperor.

The Wine Emperor lay sprawled on the ground, pouring wine from his gourd into his mouth, seemingly completely intoxicated. He appeared utterly unconcerned about the consequences of his earlier words; as long as he could immerse himself in the wine, he was content.

Looking at the Wine Emperor's appearance, the Phantom Great Emperor pondered to himself that after this Sacred War, he would have a proper talk with the Wine Emperor. As for whether his words of surrender were valid, after thinking it over, the Phantom Great Emperor decided to respect the Wine Emperor's wishes for the time being, without knowing the Wine Emperor's specific situation.

With this in mind, under everyone's gaze, the Phantom Great Emperor nodded seriously and said loudly, "Since the Wine Emperor himself is unwilling to fight, then his words of surrender naturally count. You can force anything, but how can you force someone who doesn't want to fight?"

"Very well, since the Phantom Great Emperor has made his decision, then I declare that Zhuge Xiang has won this Duel without a fight," the Phantom Great Emperor said. Having reached a consensus, the other Great Emperor naturally said nothing more, and the Great Emperor presiding over the battle announced the decision.

"They won just like that? What incredible Luck!" As the Great Emperor, who was in charge of the battle, announced the victory, the entire Sole Dominance Mountain erupted in cheers. The Wine Emperor himself had conceded defeat, and it actually stood. The Wine Emperor, one of the Five Emperors, had been defeated without a fight, leaving many people secretly marveling at Zhuge Xiang's Luck.

"Why can't I have such good fortune? I can defeat the Wine Emperor without even lifting a finger," some Asura Emperor muttered to themselves, staring at Zhuge Xiang with envy.

"Great! One of the Five Emperors is gone, and another powerful enemy is gone," some Asura Emperor murmured, their eyes shining. With the Wine Emperor gone, the chances of many Asura Emperor competing for the top ten have increased even more.

Regardless of their true thoughts, upon hearing that Zhuge Xiang's opponent was the Wine Emperor, these powerful figures secretly shook their heads, feeling that Zhuge Xiang's Luck was simply too bad, too Bad Luck. With the strength of the Asura King, encountering the Wine Emperor, wasn't this a certain death?

Unexpectedly, the situation took an unexpected turn, with the Wine Emperor voluntarily conceding defeat. As a result, Zhuge Xiang, who possessed the strength of the Asura King, won without a fight, leaving the powerful figures of Sole Dominance Mountain speechless.

Who could have imagined that Zhuge Xiang, who was initially the most Bad Luck, would suddenly become the luckiest darling of the Sacred War? (To be continued...)
