Chapter 807 - The Bet
Chapter 807: The Bet
Qin Wushuang didn’t make the claim this way because he wanted to be a pretentious prick nor did he want to stand out. Naturally, it would not be some strange thought.
Everything he did went through mature reflection for he considered each loop carefully.
In today’s situation, at the enemy’s territory, Qin Wushuang could defeat this Teng Yunchong and even use the Graceful Spiritual Bow to kill him.
However, at this boundless Heavenly Fire Southern Border, it was a few hundred miles away from the cave of the Sixth Loop. Not to mention whether he could leave this Great Bright City with ease, once he killed a person, Qin Shaohong would die surely and he would not be able to save him. It would also be another story whether or not Senior Brother Taichong could escape safely.
Therefore, fighting headstrong was the most unfavorable decision. Naturally, he would not be afraid of anything when he intended to use force at another’s territory, yet he must consider the outcome for the sake of those around him.
He would use this method to stabilize Teng Yunchong. By using a friendly competition and match, he would let the other party lose the advantage of having great numbers and also the advantage of being on their home terrain.
It appeared to be a fair battle between individuals. In fact, Qin Wushuang had his own scheme to ensure that he would win.
“Whoever solves the difficult problem of the other party would be counted as the winner? What if we solve it at the same time?” Teng Yunchong was not an idiot. On the contrary, he was rather extremely careful.
Qin Wushuang let out a laugh. “If it were at the same time, we will give each other one more problem. We must determine a winner or loser.”
Inwardly, Teng Yunchong sneered coldly, “This kid of the Qin Clan thinks he can use this strategy and this trick to not bully me, despite the greater numbers I have on my side. Humph, when I want to deal with you, would I need to use the many men I have? Would I need to use the advantage of being the local thug?”
Thinking here, Teng Yunchong shared an approximate mood with Qin Wushuang. He felt that if he were to use this method to gamble, he would lock the situation.
Spilling a smile with the intention to have planned in advance, he said with a long voice, “Alright, Qin Wushuang, regardless, the host shall follow the guest, I shall take your gamble!”
As soon as Qin Wushuang heard the words of Teng Yunchong, instantly he burst with joy. As soon as the other party agreed, everything fell into the grasp of Qin Wushuang.
He pulled out the Graceful Spiritual Bow and the Shooting Sun Arrows with his hand. “My stake is here, Envoy Teng, can you also reveal yours?”
Teng Yunchong threw that golden tree to the sky that transformed into propitious vapors showing fantastic oddities of every description. It appeared to have strange multicolored lights and ripples.
“My stake is here. If you win, you can take it away at anytime.” Teng Yunchong smiled casually.
“No, this is not all of your stakes!” Qin Wushuang said with a determined tone.
“Not all?” Suddenly Teng Yunchong remembered something and revealed a light smile, “Alright, it’s simple to get a person, I will just send my message.”
After he finished speaking, he kept making hand signs and shot an invisible spiritual perception voice message to the sky that disappeared without a trace. He repeated the task of bringing out a prisoner out of the Great Bright City prison. Naturally, he was not concerned.
In a short moment, a trusted subordinate brought out that battered and exhausted Qin Shaohong. The pain Qin Shaohong was experiencing each day at the Great Bright City infernal prison would be unimaginable to any outside person.
Teng Yunchong poked with his fingers from afar a few times and the seals on Qin Shaohong’s body kept emerging on the surface of his body like fireflies.
If a divine skill was not used to remove the power of this seal, most likely Qin Shaohong would be carrying these seals and suffer for the rest of his life. There was also the possibility to trigger the seal to explode and as a result, he may die if he left.
When the seals were removed, immediately that Qin Shaohong became much more clear-headed as if he was on a booster. As he looked over his surroundings, for a time he was unaware of what happened.
Clearly, that Teng Yunchong was not interested in Qin Shaohong. With one glance, as he realized this person was beneath the Supreme Dao Stage, he would not even bother to look at him properly.
“Kid, you got some luck, for now you are free from suffering. You have friends here to save you. However, I must tell you regretfully that they will enter the Great Bright Light prison with you!”
“Friends?” Qin Shaohong was astonished. “A friend has come to save me?”
It was no wonder that Qin Shaohong was this surprised. He knew clearly how wretched he was back at the Qin Clan. Those true elite warriors would not have come to save him.
Only five or six of those colleagues left the Qin Clan with him and all of them went to different places. Thinking here, the only reliable person would be Senior Brother Taichong.
Qin Shaohong could not refrain from straining his voice to ask, “Senior Brother, is it you? Thank you for coming to save me!”
Qin Taichong never had a good impression about Qin Shaohong, yet considering the overall benefit to the entire sect, Qin Taichong must endure silently when it was needed.
Regardless, he was a colleague to Qin Shaohong. Since they were all disciples of the Qin Clan, naturally he would not bear to watch the other party fall like this.
Especially when the Qin Clan was in imminent danger, one extra disciple of the Qin Clan meant an extra bloodline. To the Qin Clan, the bloodline was extremely precious.
Giving a slight snort, Qin Taichong said with a displeased tone, “Shaohong, the sect sent you out, yet you got involved in uncaused dispute with a female disciple of the Great Bright City… You suffer on account of your own meddling.”
Qin Shaohong was ashamed and unable to show his face. “Senior Brother, thank you for coming to save me. It’s all my fault.”
“Humph, it’s not me coming to save you.” Qin Taichong gave a cold snort. “I was already constantly on the move to save you from trouble, yet I got trapped by this formation for three years.”
“Senior Brother, who is it then?” Qin Shaohong’s heart thumped.
“Of course it’s Junior Brother Wushuang, besides him, who else can save you?” Of course, Qin Taichong remembered the grudges shared between Qin Shaohong and Qin Wushuang.
Their main focus now was to solve the troubles of the Qin Clan.
Indeed, Qin Shaohong was dumb as a wooden chicken. He felt endlessly ashamed.
Qin Wushuang put aside their past and came to save him at the Great Bright City alone? Regardless of how he thought about it, Qin Shaohong felt he was such a wretched character in the past.
With such little skills, he wanted to strive for attention. Now thinking back, he was hopelessly childish. Qin Shaohong was truly ashamed.
That Teng Yunchong on the other side gave a snort. “Qin Wushuang, you have checked all the stakes, right? Now, are you satisfied?”
Qin Wushuang laughed. “I am satisfied. The Graceful Spiritual Bow is here. If you can solve my problem first, this bow is yours. If I go back on my word, let me not die peacefully, let thunder split me open!”
This world valued vows with great significance. Especially for Supreme Dao martial artists, a clap of thunder was the exact content of the Supreme Dao calamity. Each of them avoided it as a taboo.
When Teng Yunchong saw the seriousness of Qin Wushuang, he would also vow to not play any tricks. “I will be the same. If you can win, this Seven Jewel Golden Tree is yours. You can also take these two and leave. My Great Bright City will never nag you.”
“Good, delightful!” Qin Wushuang clapped his hands and laughed. “How about let’s give ourselves fifteen minutes and think about how to give each other the toughest problem?”
“Is there any restriction to this difficult problem?” Teng Yunchong was extremely careful. He would not want to fall into the other party’s trick. Thus, he would get to know the details of the other party.
“As long as it’s within one’s ability, the problem that does not borrow the power of outsiders, it will be fine.” Qin Wushuang continued, “To speak bluntly, it must be a competition between you and I.”
“The competition between you and I, not borrowing power from outsiders, right?” There was almost an unnoticeable sense of mischief in his tone.
However, the repetition of these words made Qin Wushuang realize that certainly this Teng Yunchong had implied meanings. Qin Wushuang was not bothered.
It was because he definitely had a trump card that would win against the other party.
Indeed, before fifteen minutes was up, Teng Yunchong patted his forehead and appeared to have planned in advance through his expression. Clearly, he was ready.
Qin Wushuang asked with a smile, “Envoy Teng, can it be you are ready?”
“That’s right, a competition between you and I without the interference from outsiders. I will set up a formation here. If you can walk out of this formation before me, it will be your win!”
Break the formation? A surprised look was revealed from Qin Wushuang’s eyes. Clearly, he never expected that this Teng Yunchong was capable of establishing formations.
After all, Teng Yunchong witnessed the way he broke the defenses a moment ago when he was walking in. This way, the defense formation Teng Yunchong used to restrain Senior Brother was not his true skill.
Upon seeing Qin Wushuang looking distracted, Teng Yunchong was even more happy. “Qin Wushuang, my topic did not violate the rules, right? It did not use the power of outsiders.”
It was correct that he did not draw support from outsiders, yet he did draw support from the geography. Certainly when he set up the formation, he must set it up by combining it with the surrounding formation spiritual ley lines. To speak bluntly, he still held the advantage.
However, how could Qin Wushuang fuss over minor matters? Instead, he asked with an indifferent tone, “Envoy Teng, you and I will give each other a difficult problem. The one that solves it first wins. If someone backs out due to insufficient power, how should we count it?”
“Of course it counts as a loss! Whoever gives up first counts as a loss!” Teng Yunchong said with an extremely determined tone, and asked immediately after, “Then, have you thought of your problem?”
Qin Wushuang revealed a strange smile. “I already have.”
“What?” Teng Yunchong also did not dare to neglect. After all, this time he was not facing any other opponent, but Qin Wushuang whose fame for fighting prowess had spread through the world ten years ago!
“I have incanted my Graceful Spiritual Bow with my spiritual perception. I will give it to you to control it. I do not ask you to remove my spiritual perception. As long as you can suppress my spiritual perception in a short period, conquer this bow, shoot an arrow, and be able to shoot through this normal Supreme Dao shield, it will count as a win. How about it?”
“Just shoot one arrow through this shield?” Teng Yunchong blinked his eyes and thought inwardly, “Could it be this Graceful Spiritual Bow has some defenses? Without activating the mechanisms, I cannot use it? Nonsense, all worldly divine weapons were are. However, with the stage of my spiritual perception, certainly it will not be a problem to suppress it temporarily and borrow it’s endless Supreme Dao power. Suppressing it for a short moment and controlling it for long term are two completely different concepts. I must give it a try, even if I risk injuring my spiritual perception!”
In the end, Teng Yunchong was full of confidence. First of all, he was full of confidence of his Great Vanishing Dust Formation. Secondly, he was confident of the stage of his own spiritual perception. Even if he were to exhibit the power of an ordinary Supreme Dao weapon, just with the power of the Graceful Spiritual Bow, it would be a piece of cake to shoot through a Coagulate Supreme Dao shield with his strength.
The layers of confidence brought to him from different aspects made Teng Yunchong feel that he was absolutely safe! Regardless of what tricks Qin Wushuang played, he firmly believed to counter changes with stability! Strength would be the core foundation!
