Chapter 704 – Bring It On! (1/2)
Yang Ye and Bai Chen stood in confrontation at the center of the hall, and there was around 30m between them.
Someone seemed to have spread the news about the bet between Yang Ye and Bai Chen, so more and more members of the Fire Spirit Race were surging into the hall. At this moment, the hall was filled by a crowd.
“That’s the tigress’ man? He really is just at the Exalt Realm, yet he actually dares to face a Monarch Realm expert, and it’s even a sword cultivator who has attained peak Earth Rank Sword Intent? Does he want to die?”
“Haha! Don’t underestimate him. He was very arrogant just now. Perhaps he’s capable of surmounting his realm of cultivation!”
“Besides the geniuses on the Hallowed Rankings and the top-rate geniuses of the various races, ordinary Exalt Realm experts are utterly incapable of surmounting their realms of cultivation to challenge Monarch Realm experts. Moreover, this Exalt Realm profounder is even injured while his opponent is a Monarch Realm expert who has comprehended Sword Intent. That tigress’ man will definitely die in this battle!”
“That may not necessarily be the case. He seems to be calm and composed, and there’s no fear in his eyes. I presume he definitely has some sort of trump card. Hehe, he gave us a pleasant surprise earlier. Perhaps he’ll be able to do it again. Right, I mean that I hope he won’t die that quickly after he resists Bai Chen’s attack. Otherwise, it would be too meaningless!”
“What if he really turns the situation around?”
“If he does, then I’ll eat s.h.i.+t….”
“Qian Yan, it’s best if you think this through!” Meanwhile, the 4th Elder gazed at the Firecrystals in his hand and said, “I presume these 5 1,000 year old Firecrystals are the last of all the Firecrystals you’ve acc.u.mulated over the years. If you lose, then your strength wouldn’t improve at all for the next few years. Moreover, if you lose them, then you’ll be in trouble if you suffer any injuries. After all, the defiant profounders are about to escape the seal!”
Yang Ye didn’t trust the 2nd Elder, so he’d suggested that the 4th Elder took temporary custody over the Firecrystals which they were betting with. Moreover, he’d even asked Xiaoman to restrain Qian Mei. Qian Yan agreed to all of Yang Ye’s requests. However, he made a request of his own, and that was Yang Ye had to become Qian Mei’s Flameling if Yang Ye lost!
The explanation Xiaoman provided him allowed Yang Ye to understand what a Flameling was. It meant eunuch….
Yang Ye naturally agreed immediately…. He would definitely not act so rashly if Bai Chen wasn’t a sword cultivator. Unfortunately, Bai Chen was one! Unless a sword cultivator didn’t utilize a sword or possessed Sword Intent that surpa.s.sed his own, otherwise….
Qian Yan grunted coldly and said, “But what if I win?”
Just as the 4th Elder said, all his acc.u.mulations of wealth over the years could be represented by those 10 1,000 year old Firecrystals. He’d lost 5 earlier, and even his heart felt like it was bleeding from the loss. So, he had no other choice but to make another bet in order to recuperate his losses!
Of course, it was because he was confident in Bai Chen’s ability. After all, Bai Chen was at the Monarch Realm and possessed peak Earth Rank Sword Intent! As far as he was concerned, the reason Bai Chen lost just now was because they’d underestimated their opponent! Moreover, he felt that Yang Ye would definitely not be a match for Bai Chen once Bai Chen took Yang Ye seriously.
As for the reason why Yang Ye dared to agree to the bet…. He hadn’t given that any thought at all!
“I’ll dismember you, piece by piece!” Bai Chen gazed at Yang Ye while his face had recovered its calm.
Yang Ye paid no attention to Bai Chen. He gazed at Qian Mei instead and said, “Woman, didn’t you ask me to be arrogant and show off just now? Alright, I’ll do it right now!”
“I really look forward to seeing you become my Flameling!” Qian Mei spoke coldly.
“I really look forward to seeing you kneeling down and licking me as well! Hahaha!” Yang Ye glanced at the others in the surroundings before his gaze descended onto Bai Chen, and he said, “You’re a sword cultivator, and a strong one too. In other words, your sword techniques are very formidable, right?”
Bai Chen replied, “It’s just alright. But killing you is as easy as flipping my palm!”
Yang Ye nodded and said, “I’d intended to keep a low profile. But it can’t be helped, I’m really unable to continue keeping a low profile when facing an idiot like you who likes to put on airs. Come, execute your strongest sword technique! I won’t dodge or block it!”
“Haha! What a joke! He wants Bai Chen to execute his strongest technique, and he wont dodge it? Who does he think he is? Even if Zuo Dengfeng rises up from the grave, he still wouldn’t dare to do that, right? It seems obvious to me that he has gone mad. How laughable! We actually made a bet with such a madman! How truly laughable….”
“Where did Xiaoman find such a weirdo? Where did he get the confidence to say that he’ll resist Bai Chen’s strongest sword technique without dodging? Where?”
“I think he’s delusional….”
The others in the surroundings who’d made bets with Yang Ye just now started to speak in succession. All of them didn’t hold back at all and spoke loudly as if they wanted Yang Ye to hear them.
Yang Ye glanced at them and said, “What would all of you do if I succeed?”
“If you do, then I won’t just give all my Firecrystals to you, I’ll even kowtow 100 times to you and admit that I had eyes yet failed to see. Moreover, I’ll stay far away from you in the future. Alright?” One of the men stepped forward and spoke coldly.
Yang Ye glanced at him, and then he glanced at the others and said, “What about all of you?”
“We’ll do the same!”
