Dark Moon Era-Chapter 334 - : The Rules Of The Life And Death Ring

Chapter 334: The Rules Of The Life And Death Ring

Elder Black waved his hand and did not answer Gu Dao’s question. He seemed to be immersed in the joy of fishing and was afraid that Gu Dao’s loud voice would scare his fish away.

Gu Dao helplessly looked at Elder Black who acted shamelessly.

The fishes in the sea are so big. What could have scared them away?! As he grumbled in his heart, Gu Dao pulled that plate of jade duck webbing clams over and continued eating.

As a matter of fact, who could really stay out of this? Huang Dao? Or him? Ever since Tang Ling appeared, things turned out a little strange.

Elder Black might have deeper insights about certain things, but he did not speak of it, so no one would have been able to guess his thoughts.

While Gu Dao got slightly depressed, he finished the plate of clams but problems troubled his mind so hauntingly that the delicious plate of clams tasted like nothing.

“I’m leaving.” He stood up, leaving the empty plate behind. He jumped off the boat and strode on the surface of the sea, heading towards another ship that was waiting for him.

“You should leave too.” Elder Black wanted to send the captain off.

“But, Elder Black…” The captain could not feel at ease with Tang Ling and Tang Long’s matter in his mind.

“No buts. Leave.”

Since Elder Black did not want to talk about it, the captain left. He also strode on the surface of the sea, heading towards another big ship in the other direction.

Seeing the two of them depart, Elder Black slightly sighed.

Was doing something an act of making a stand? If that were the case, would that cunning fox, Huang Dao, have taken Tang Ling into Dvesha Moha so boldly?

Did Gu Dao think he could stay away from this? Had he not taken a stand when he decided to take the brother and sister in?

As a matter of that, the two of them had deviated, but they had yet to find out for themselves. In fact, it was because those who truly understood the situation did not view their actions as making a stand.

If everyone started to take a stand, it would really be the prelude before the storm that would sweep across the world. Taking a stand was not as easy as it sounded.

Moreover, neither one of two boys would die, would they?

The intentional party would not be him, Elder Black. It would not be Huang Dao, Gu Dao, or even Madam Qing, or even those who remained silent on this. It would be…

If he was not prepared for this, he would really be a joke.

Lastly, was the Life and Death Ring something bad? Something might happen as a result and change things up for a bit. If that really happened, the situation would get interesting.

However, no matter how interesting things got…

Elder Black could not help but look into the sky as his brows furrowed.

Whatever comes will come soon!

…

“The rules are per stated. Are there any objections?”

One had to give it to the staff working in Darkness Port. The port city might not be orderly, but they worked with outstanding efficiency. In less than 20 minutes, a new document that combined the demands and suggestions of the geniuses were handed to Tang Ling and Tang Long.

Again, Tang Ling and Tang Long spoke in unison, “No objections.”

As if the staff had gotten used to the duo’s tacit feeling, he did not react unusually and said, “Lastly, I will need your opinions about this such as how to start the final battle of life and death.”

“In my opinion…” Tang Long was the first to speak.

Tang Ling listened, and to his shock, he realized that Tang Long’s opinions barely differed from his own.

“What about you, Mr. Tang Ling?” The staff looked at Tang Ling who squinted his eyes. He glanced directly at Tang Long for two seconds and noticed that there was no expression on Tang Long’s face as if he was not surprised.

“Fine, I think it’s good enough,” Tang Ling said flatly. In fact, Tang Long also thought of everything that he could think of. Their manner of thinking was very similar. Although it was not exactly the same, it was still very similar.

“Very well. Give us five more minutes and we’ll sum everything up into an ultimate edition. After that, when the two of you sign the pact of life and death, you’ll read the rules out together,” said the staff as part of the standard operating procedure.

Tang Ling and Tang Long nodded.

Five minutes later, all the rules were set and were presented in the simplest form.

Tang Ling and Tang Long both had a pen in front of them. With their signature on the life and death pact, the game of the Life and Death Ring would officially begin.

Tang Ling glanced over at the life and death pact. The contents were really simple. The summary of the contents was that they started this life and death game willingly, and during the final battle, no matter what methods were used, a victor and a loser must be determined.

There were only two ways to determine the victor and the loser: first, the death of either party; second, either one side surrendered and the opposite side agreed to spare the loser.

Every action and move should be conducted out of willingness, and Darkness Port had nothing to do with the results of the action. Darkness Port would provide all the support and convenience but would also use the game to be prolific. A portion of the profits earned from the game would be awarded to the winner.

This was the true side of Darkness Port. Everything was about money and was almost merciless. Even life and death was a game in their eyes.

Only the Purple Moon era would allow such an event to happen. The old civilization would never have allowed such an inhumane activity to be held publicly.

Tang Ling had a complicated feeling in his heart as he grabbed the pact and signed his name on it. Instinctively, he signed his name in the Huaxianese language.

At the same time, Tang Long was also done with the pact and handed it to the staff.

“Please come back here half an hour later and read the rules of the Life and Death Ring together.” The staff collected the pacts with their signatures on it.

Tang Ling and Tang Long then walked out of the glass box office.

“Your signatures…Huh?” The staff glanced at the signatures on the pacts and was slightly astounded.

Both of them had signed their names in Huaxianese. Albeit the writings being different, the lift and curves at the crucial strokes were all the same, so their handwritings looked extremely similar at first glance.

Recalling the tacit behavior between the two of them, the staff left with a bitter smile on his face.

…

“Ah, no, how can I accept Tang Ling’s death? I’m holding his shirt right now! This must be fate! I’m devastated!”

“No, I cannot accept Tang Long’s death! With him gone, there will be no prince in the world anymore!”

“Aaah! What a dilemma! Must they really fight? Must one of them really die? Why can’t the two of them be together?”

…

“Boss, I think it’s time you gave me an explanation.” Tang Ling caught up with Boss Huang and blocked his way in a secluded alley behind a stall in Medley Sea Market.

Despite already being in a secluded spot, he was still able to hear the yells and cries of the infatuated girls and boys on the street. They were driving Tang Ling mad.

In this era where spiritual culture was deficient, people admired power which came in the form of the Purple Moon Warriors.

Both Tang Ling and Tang Long were the hottest topic recently. Although they were the fiercest of rivals, their strength was also proven, hence being admired by the masses was guaranteed.

To be honest, their popularity should not have gone out of control. The one responsible for the boost was Boss Huang, whose efforts to push Tang Ling into the spotlight just to earn a profit, amplified the effect and emotions of the masses.

Boss Huang smiled brightly at Tang Ling who was demanding an explanation., “You little bastard, you’d better thank me. What if you somehow lose the fight? Your fans might run up and protect you with their lives. You should thank me instead of asking for an explanation! I’m saving your life here!”

Boss Huang’s ability to bullsh*t was top-notch. If he was only second, no one would be able to be in the first place.

After spending a little over half a month with Boss Huang, Tang Ling understood the boss very well. Because he was too lazy to argue with the boss, he said, “Well, I thank you for saving my skin! On top of that, shouldn’t you share the profits you’ve made?”

“What profit?” Boss Huang blinked innocently as if he was some five-year-old cutie.

Monty, which Boss Huang had grabbed away when Tang Ling went into the office to sign the life and death pact, eagerly jumped back onto Tang Ling’s shoulder and looked askance at Boss Huang while gagging at him.

When Boss Huang acted cute, even a Harsheen boar would throw up.

“Stop bullsh*ting! Where did you get my shirt and my sweat? Don’t you assume it’s a gift from me!” Tang Ling leaned against the wall, looking intimidating. It seemed like he would never let Boss Huang go if the boss did not split the profits.

“I’m not splitting the profits that I’ve earned,” said Boss Huang like a rascal.

“Fine, I can skip the profit-sharing this time, but I want news on Tang Long for free!” Tang Ling’s ultimate goal was to knock Boss Huang off for more information.

“You want news about Tang Long? Now?” Boss Huang was in deep thought.

“When else?” Tang Ling felt strange. If not now, then when?

“I’ll tell you later at night. Since you’ve already signed the pact, you won’t be able to step back from this anymore. Go settle your matters first.” Boss Huang looked a little strange as he was not as funny or as naughty as before. Instead, he looked a little depressed as he sighed.

“Are you trying to conspire something?” Tang Ling felt like something was not right.

“It’s nothing. You’ll get the news at night,” said Boss Huang before he walked away.

Why’s this kid trying to ask for news right now? What has he been doing? I’ve already asked him a long time ago, but he wants it now?

I guess this is life!

Unfortunately, I, Huang Dao, will not take a stand right now. Don’t blame me if you can’t get all the hints.

…

Half an hour later, in the center of the Medley Sea Market.

There was already a high stage built upon the little space that was being used as the temporary office. One really had to give it up to the efficiency of Darkness Port.

On top of the stage, other than a rostrum with a mic, there was a large banner at the back. The banner declared, ‘After 19 years, the Life & Death Ring reopens! The storm is here. Will you be one of the players?’

The loud drums attracted everyone, and when the crowd saw the words ‘Life & Death Ring’, they knew what was happening, so an even bigger crowd started to gather around the stage.

All the locals of Darkness Port should know what the Life and Death Ring was. Even if the foreigners were unfamiliar with it, the locals would fill them in with the details.

The Life and Death Ring seemed to have witnessed the beginning of the rise of Darkness Port, and until today, it held an unwavering position in the world.

Why? Throughout history, the Life and Death Ring had only been opened for a total of seven times. Each and every time was an event that shook the world.

Now, was it finally going to be reopened?
