"This is..."
"Mu Jinyu won?!"
The disciples of the Blood Sword Sect had always had absolute confidence in Dao Wuming, believing that even if the Bi Fang Cauldron wasn't damaged, Mu Jinyu would undoubtedly perish.
But at this moment, the impact of the Bi Fang Cauldron sending Dao Wuming flying was tantamount to a clear announcement to the crowd!
Mu Jinyu won. He had the last laugh!
They immediately showed expressions of sorrow.
Unexpectedly, Dao Wuming actually lost to Mu Jinyu!
It was all because of Di Shitian. If it weren't for him giving the Bi Fang Cauldron to Mu Jinyu before he died, how could Mu Jinyu have survived?
How could Dao Wuming have lost to Mu Jinyu?!
At this moment, everyone in the Blood Sword Sect hated Liuyun Sect to the core!
"Haha, he truly is fine..."
Jian Ruyan covered her mouth with her slender hand, seeing this scene, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled. Her beautiful eyes blinked, and tears began to slip down from her eyes.
These were tears of joy.
This was also the second time Jian Ruyan had cried for a man in her life.
The first time was when Xiang Mantang got into trouble!
...
"Bang!"
Dao Wuming was sent flying by the Bi Fang Cauldron, like a broken rag doll, without any ability to resist. He finally fell onto a sharp rock, slashing his arm, blood flowing freely, looking extremely fragile.
"Ugh..."
Dao Wuming let out a painful low groan, finally coming to his senses with difficulty lifting his head to look at the suspended Bi Fang Cauldron, his eyes revealing a trace of unwillingness and helplessness.
His groan of pain was not because of the physical injury feeling painful. This kind of pain meant nothing to him.
He was in pain because he lost.
"Bang!"
At this moment, after sending Dao Wuming flying off the Combat Platform, Mu Jinyu opened the cauldron lid and stepped out.
"Thank you for your concession."
Mu Jinyu stepped onto the Bi Fang Cauldron, looking down at the disheartened Dao Wuming, speaking in a calm tone.
From Mu Jinyu's slightly pale face, everyone could tell that he was almost unscathed, far better off than Dao Wuming, who suffered the backlash after using "Blood-Colored Mirroring Rivers and Mountains"!
"Hahaha..."
Xie Chenkun, who had stopped walking halfway, upon seeing Mu Jinyu win, after a moment of surprise, couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.
Mu Jinyu won.
So he also won.
He could keep his own sword.
Furthermore, he won a month's worth of cultivation time in the Blood Essence Pool of Blood Sword Sect!
How could this not make him feel exhilarated?
Looking at Zhou Taiping beside him, whose face turned iron blue, gradually darkened with purple, Xie Chenkun felt a level of satisfaction no less than when he defeated Zhou Taiping back at the Four Sects Martial Meeting!
Zhou Taiping snorted coldly, somewhat bitterly, "It was only because of that Top-Quality Spiritual Treasure, otherwise he would have long died under Dao Wuming's sword!"
Hearing Zhou Taiping's words, Xie Chenkun couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, your words are truly bitter. You say my disciple won using the power of a treasure, but wasn't your disciple also relying on his superior realm to almost defeat my disciple? What's the difference?
"A loss is a loss, don't be a sore loser, okay? If my disciple were also in the Fanxu Realm, don't you see that even without the Bi Fang Cauldron, he could surely defeat Dao Wuming?!"
"Of course not!" Zhou Taiping snorted coldly. "Let's bet again when your disciple breaks through to the Fanxu Realm, and both sides fight without treasures or spiritual weapons?"
"What will you wager? What will you bet?" Xie Chenkun sneered.
"If you win, you can choose from anything in the Scripture Pavilion of Blood Sword Sect, but if I win, you give me the Bi Fang Cauldron!" Zhou Taiping said without hesitation.
"Hahaha..."
Upon hearing Zhou Taiping's wager, Xie Chenkun couldn't help but laugh, "You're really bold. Which of your Blood Sword Sect's secret manuals can compare to the Bi Fang Cauldron? How about this, if I lose, I'll give you the Bi Fang Cauldron, but if you lose, Blood Sword Sect will merge with our Heavenly Sword Faction?"
Xie Chenkun looked playfully at Zhou Taiping.
Of course, he was mocking Zhou Taiping, as the Bi Fang Cauldron was something Mu Jinyu won with his life, and he couldn't make decisions on Mu Jinyu's behalf to use it as a wager.
Furthermore, he knew Zhou Taiping couldn't agree to this condition, so he mocked him in this way.
"You!"
Sure enough, upon hearing Xie Chenkun's words, Zhou Taiping instantly flew into a rage but didn't dare agree to his wager.
Just as Xie Chenkun couldn't make decisions for Mu Jinyu to use the Bi Fang Cauldron as a wager, even though he was the Sect Leader of Blood Sword Sect, Zhou Taiping couldn't make decisions for the entire Blood Sword Sect for such a heavy bet. The Supreme Elders wouldn't agree!
Seeing Zhou Taiping jump with rage but not daring to agree, Xie Chenkun sneered and said, "How about this, since neither of us can represent others for such a wager, why don't we each wager our Life-bond spiritual treasure instead?"
"This..."
Upon hearing Xie Chenkun's words, Zhou Taiping was momentarily stunned, hesitating.
Xie Chenkun sneered, "What, scared? Reluctant? I dared to wager my Life-bond spiritual treasure with you initially; now when it's about changing the wager, not needing the Blood Essence Pool, just your own Life-bond spiritual treasure, you don't dare?"
Zhou Taiping was provoked by Xie Chenkun, gritting his teeth, "Fine, then we'll wager this! But if you lose, I don't want your Life-bond spiritual treasure, I want a one-month cultivation in the Blood Essence Pool back!"
His heart held bitterness that couldn't be spoken.
Initially, his plan was to use Dao Wuming in the Fanxu Realm to sweep the area, deceiving Xie Chenkun once, thus he wagered such a bet!
And as the Supreme Elders knew Dao Wuming's situation, they allowed him to wager the cultivation time in the Blood Essence Pool.
But now that Dao Wuming lost, he would also lose the month's cultivation time in the Blood Essence Pool, making him do damage to the Blood Sword Sect's interests, leading to being besieged unless he regained corresponding benefits.
Only then could he calm the group's anger!
So he planned to find a way to wager again with Xie Chenkun.
But this time, he needed to offer his Life-bond spiritual treasure, making him reluctant.
Upon hearing Zhou Taiping's words, Xie Chenkun immediately looked at him like an idiot and said, "Are you stupid? Our wager is for my disciple to ascend to the Fanxu Realm, then fight Dao Wuming again without using treasures or spiritual weapons. We don't need your Blood Essence Pool to ascend to the Fanxu Realm; how long will that take?"
"I don't have time to waste with you for that long. Who knows if Dao Wuming might learn some powerful divine skills or his cultivation upgrades, then it wouldn't be fair!"
"If you want to wager, then each wager your Life-bond spiritual treasure. If you can't handle it, then don't wager, and save yourself from being a laughing stock!"
Xie Chenkun said disdainfully.
Upon hearing Xie Chenkun's words, Zhou Taiping felt extremely infuriated, both angry and resentful!
His original plan was indeed as Xie Chenkun said, using the time gap, during Mu Jinyu's ascension to the Fanxu Realm over the years, whether Dao Wuming could advance to the second layer of the Fanxu Realm or learn several powerful divine skills.
Thus, when Mu Jinyu ascended to the Fanxu Realm, victory would still be difficult!
As a result, Xie Chenkun saw through his thoughts, directly pressuring him!
