Chapter 475: Bet Worth Millions

Seeing Xie An covered himself so carefully and tightly, Zong Shou shook his head to himself. This great extinction sword could wipe out everything, so what was the point in attacking.

He wanted to remind him, but thinking about how even if Xie An had no chance of winning even if he attacked, he could only shake his head and pat on Chuxue’s shoulder.

“Xue’er those few people probably can’t do anything. This time it is up to you. Don’t lose too badly. Remember if you lose face for me, you aren’t allowed to eat for 10 days…”

Chuxue exclaimed, not knowing how to react. People like Yuanfei and Han Jian who were at the grade 7 peak couldn’t even block a single sword from Jueyu. She was just grade 6, so how could she be his opponent? Young master was just so unreasonable!

She was filled with trepidation, worrying about the result. However, for some reason, she was also anticipating it.

Zong Shou didn’t console her, instead looking into the air. He drove the sword upwards to someplace 2 thousand feet in the air.

At this moment, pretty much everyone was focused on Jueyu and Xia An. Apart from those ten over grade 9 experts, no one else paid attention to him.

After feeling around the area, Zong Shou’s brows rose up. Then, he stepped out 2 steps towards the void in front of him.

He was actually not stopped and restricted. Then, the area in front of him changed, he was now within a building.

Looking around, there were a 3 thousand feet large courtyard. In front of the building one could look down and the scenes below.

Hanfang was sitting on a rocking chair, his frowning face was extremely dark and sunken. His eyes were extremely sharp as he looked at that Jueyu.

On the right of him was a table and a rocking chair.

Zong Shou’s eyes shone. He took a fist-sized red colored fruit and bit down on it.

He only felt a fragrance fill his senses, his mouth was filled with the juices. The meat of the fruit melted instantly as it entered his mouth. Compared to his best nectar it was a little sweeter.

It was really the red jade spirit containing fruit. Legend had it that eating one could allow a grade 4 spirit master to raise a full grade.

He couldn’t help but click his tongue. This Hanfang guarded the Book Hiding Hall B every day and he thought that this senior brother really lived there.

He showed nothing usually, but who knew that this old man actually had a mobile celestial manor. Looking at how bountiful the amount of spiritual energy there was, as compared to the vast habitat, it was on the same level.

This fellow actually used this red jade spirit containing fruit which xiantian experts could die for as a snack.

As expected from someone at the god realm who lived for thousands of years. Even if he defended the common people palace for numerous years, his wealth was something far from what he could imagine.

A “keng” sword ring sounded out in his ear as he looked down. He saw the black wave spread in front of Jueyu. Inside it, a sword shadow with numerous black colored lightning struck out.

When the black color flashed across, Xie An’s spiritual shield was instantly pierced.

Although the few protector beasts tried their best to save their master, the demon breath-like black broad sword just spun and the few grade 7 protector beasts retreated with injury. The last sword stabbed on Xie An’s body.

Another loud “Peng” sound as Xie An was struck back hundreds of feet away.

The few body-protecting spells around his body all collapsed and dissipated. He wore a purple gold robe which was also sliced into pieces.

A grade 8 spiritual artifact spell shirt was broken into pieces just like that.

Zong Shou frowned, thinking to himself that it was expected! The law of extinction was that if Jueyu saw a weakness, all spiritual artifacts were useless in front of him. However today he showed mercy.

That sword looked vicious but it didn’t hurt Xie An, only causing his spiritual artifacts and spells to break open.

Hanfang was speechless and entered deep thought. A moment later he turned his head and asked coldly, “What was your reason for letting Chuxue fight? What are you planning?”

Zong Shou smiled and didn’t answer, sitting down on the other rocking chair. He helped pour himself a cup of wine and carefully took a sip. He couldn’t help hit frown. This was a hundred spirit nectar. In the future, 100 grams could be sold for 100 grade 9 spirit stones.

How rich was this Hanfang old man?

He knew that he couldn’t drink which was why he didn’t dare to drink anymore. Luckily that small mouthful wasn’t enough to make him drunk. Only his face became slightly red.

Within his body, his soul power which nearly dried up due to refining the Blazing glass pearl and extreme dark chill energy pill was replenished. One spirit fruit and one mouth of wine helped him recover it all.

Then, Hanfang’s expression became more and more impatient and darker. Zong Shou rose his head up slightly, “If I say she can block 10 swords and above of that Jueyu, would you believe it?”

Hanfang was startled, looking at Chuxue once more and observing carefully. The spirit sealing talisman and heavy earth talismans were already removed.

However, no matter how he observed, he only felt that her true qi was slightly more than others, her physical body foundations were firm. Next would be the 12 talismans she formed in the soul ocean. In terms of spiritual cultivation, she could be considered a little above average.

Apart from that, there wasn’t anything worth noticing, she was average.

Her intellect in his eyes wasn’t high and wasn’t worth mentioning. In this 1.5 years, she probably wouldn’t learn any deep sword technique.

Speaking of which it was quite weird. How did Chuxue do it? With her comprehension to form 12 true spiritual talismans…

For some reason, he recalled what Zong Shou said to him 1.5 years ago when they just entered the habitat.

…you don’t accept this disciple, don’t regret it in the future.

Then, he shook his head, “I’m not biased towards this girl! She has spirit trained tiger bones, such talent is enough to be my sect’s core disciple. However, she is too young to go up against Jueyu. She is missing some skill…”

Zong Shou smiled when he heard it, lying on the rocking chair and continuously shaking back and forth, “Why not we make a bet? Let’s bet your celestial manor.”

Hanfang couldn’t help but burst out laughing, thinking that this fellow was confident. Then, he broke out into the laugh, “We can bet but does junior Brother have a stake of similar value?”

Zong Shou’s expression froze up. Hanfang acted like he didn’t see. Then he said, “How about this if you win I will give you a million merit points. If you lose to become the palace head for 10 years. Doing all duties and chores willingly…”

Zong Shou’s brows furrowed, 1 million merit points and 10 years as the head. That was not worth it.

“1 million is too little, at least 2 million!

The head of the common people palace is such a tough job. Even junior Nephew Fangwen looks like an old man…”

“Ok!” Fangwen smiled, following which his eyes squinted, “If Jueyu restricted his true qi and soul power what are your chances against him?”

Zong Shou sighed and didn’t reply. He laid on the chair, shaking back and forth continuously. He thought to himself that he still can’t trust this old man.

However, thinking about it it made sense. If they didn’t know about her combat martial body who would think that this average, not grade 7 brat could go up against sword prince jueyu?

※※※※

After 15 minutes, the void fissure’s atmosphere felt depressing and suppressive.

The close to ten thousand common people path disciples were furious, their eyes breathing flames as they looked on. The people watching all held their breaths, avoiding provoking those common people path disciple’s close to collapse minds

6 people 6 fights, the first 5 all lost in one sword. None of them could block a single one. Even that Guoyu managed to block 3 swords before his weapon was broken.

Standing 3 thousand feet away, Lei Dong’s expression was complicated. A moment later he sighed, “This Jueyu is vicious! It seems like he wants to force Tanqiu out, not showing any mercy at all!”

In the past, when Jueyu challenged the various sects, he intended to train the sword. He would not use his strength to suppress and bully the opponent. This time he was suppressing them! Grade 8’s vast true qi, deep sword techniques, peak martial path intent. The 3 aspects combining went that the 5 elite disciples of common people path couldn’t even receive a single sword!

“I think that Guoyu is a little stronger than me…”

This meant that if this Jueyu went all out, he might not be able to block 3 swords.

Suchen had a bitter expression and forced out a smile. He then looked around, “I think this time common people path miscalculated. If they don’t find a suitable person to go up against him, this time they probably lost all their face.”

The various sect cultivators were laughing coldly, some of them gloating, some of them smiling widely.

Lei Dong’s brows furrowed and knew that Suchen was right. The people in the world wouldn’t care about what the actual situation was. They would only believe that common people path’s this generation of disciples couldn’t even take a sword from Jueyu, that their future was bleak.

“Who knows who is the next person from common people’s path to fight?”

The 7th person should be the final choice and should be the strongest person of this generation, the last straw. However, apart from this Guoyu, he hadn’t heard of anyone else. Was it Tanqiu?

At this moment the ten thousand odd common people path disciples all came back to their senses, their faces filled with loss.

“Who is the next one?”

“I remember that in the names the palace head read out the last one seems to be called Xuechu?”

“It is her? The bodyguard beside first seat Tanqiu? I remember that the little brat’s strength is only grade 6?”

“How did the palace head choose? Why did they choose a grade 6?”

Everyone’s gazes searched about to try to find for that Xuechu.

Chuxue was originally distracted, her mind replaying Zong Shou’s sword for 2 years ago.

It wasn’t until everyone looked over did she come back to her senses. Being stared down by numerous confused and questioning gazes made her panic. She subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she realized something. She gritted her teeth as she walked forwards.
