Playing for Keeps!

Dare or not?

Under the gaze of every expert in the main hall, Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, had a face as dark as water.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the leisurely Lu Yiping, his expression somewhat savage. "How about the two of us personally play a couple of rounds?!"

Everyone in the hall was taken aback.

The Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect actually wanted to personally make a move against Lu Yiping?!

The hall fell silent once more.

"However, we will not be going onto the battle stage," Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, added.

Lu Yiping set down his wine cup and looked at him with a half-smile. "Then how do you want to compete?"

Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, sneered. "Let us compete with the qin!"

A qin competition?

The crowd was dumbfounded.

No one had expected Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, to want to compete with Lu Yiping in qin arts.

Everyone involuntarily looked toward Yun Haitian, the Young Master of the Yun Family. Yun Haitian's attainments in both swordsmanship and qin arts were renowned throughout the Divine Martial Continent.

"Compete with the qin?" Lu Yiping smiled faintly. "And how will we compete?"

Seeing Lu Yiping's smile, Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, sneered. "There are no shortage of qin art experts in this hall. We shall each play one piece, and everyone here will judge us. Whoever has the higher attainments in qin arts wins!"

At this point, he paused before slowly saying, "If you lose, I want your life!"

"If I lose, my life is yours!"

Playing for keeps!

Everyone's hearts jolted.

"Young Sect Master!" The experts of the Yin Ghost Sect cried out in alarm.

Big Dipper Great Emperor Zhou Ding Tian also frowned and advised, "Young Sect Master Hao Dan, victory and defeat are commonplace in battle. There is no need to go this far. I hope Young Sect Master Hao Dan will think thrice!"

Whether Hao Dan or Lu Yiping died within the Big Dipper Imperial Palace, neither would be a good thing for his Big Dipper Empire.

Yet none of the other experts dared make a sound.

Clearly, no one wanted to get entangled in the matter between Hao Dan and Lu Yiping.

Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, ignored Big Dipper Great Emperor Zhou Ding Tian. Staring at Lu Yiping, he continued, "But merely playing for our lives would be too dull!"

"The manuals for the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist and the Time Divine Fist are on you, aren't they?"

As he spoke, he took out a Space Ring and opened it. Inside were High-grade Spirit Stones piled into mountains, likely as many as one billion! There were countless spirit herbs, including several hundred-thousand-year spirit herbs.

There were also numerous Divine Spirit Golden Cores, four Divine Sparks, six High-grade Spirit Veins, and four Low-grade Divine Artifacts.

"If you lose, the manuals for the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist and the Time Divine Fist belong to me!"

"If I lose, everything on me will be yours!"

Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, had a voice that echoed through the hall.

When everyone saw the items inside Hao Dan's Space Ring, their throats bobbed uncontrollably.

Ordinary True Gods did not even possess a single Low-grade Divine Artifact, yet Hao Dan had four! Those High-grade Spirit Stones, spirit herbs, divine pills, Divine Sparks, and spirit veins set everyone's hearts ablaze.

Even Yun Haitian, the Young Master of the Yun Family, was secretly shocked upon seeing the items in the Space Ring. The Yun Family was one of the four great Lineages of the Divine Martial Continent, and he, as its Young Master, could be considered enormously wealthy. Yet compared to Hao Dan, the difference was heaven and earth!

"Well?" Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, asked coldly.

Lu Yiping shook his head.

Just as everyone thought Lu Yiping was about to refuse, Lu Yiping said, "Your life is worthless!"

"I have the manuals for the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist and the Time Divine Fist, but do you really think that your piles of trash are enough to buy the original manuals of the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist and the Time Divine Fist?"

Lu Yiping glanced at the items in Hao Dan's Space Ring and spoke indifferently.

Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, immediately darkened.

This Lu Yiping was saying that he, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, was worthless?

He was saying that his divine artifacts, spirit veins, and divine pills were trash?

At that moment, Lu Yiping took out two manuals. No one knew what material the two manuals were made from, but they emitted a faint radiance containing a profound and mysterious power.

"Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist!"

"Time Divine Fist!"

Seeing the ancient characters on the two manuals, everyone cried out in shock.

Even Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, who had been furious moments ago, had blazing eyes.

The manuals for the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist and the Time Divine Fist really were on Lu Yiping! If Lu Yiping had obtained the cave-dwelling treasures of Saint Demon and Old Demon of Time, it was only normal that he would not care for Hao Dan's Low-grade Divine Artifacts, spirit veins, and spirit stones.

Big Dipper Great Emperor Zhou Ding Tian, Wan Hong, Yun Haitian, Empress Baihua, He Zhaorong, the patriarch of the Blazing Fire Sect, and the others all had flickering eyes.

Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, said to the other experts of the Yin Ghost Sect, "Take out the Space Rings on you."

The several Yin Ghost Sect experts guessed what Hao Dan intended to do. They looked at the manuals for the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist and the Time Divine Fist on Lu Yiping's table, hesitated for a moment, then took out all the Space Rings on their persons.

"Young Sect Master, forget it. I think we should return and consult the Sect Master before deciding on this matter!" one Yin Ghost Sect expert urged again.

If Hao Dan lost and truly died here, they would not escape severe punishment either!

"You think I will lose?" Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, shot that Yin Ghost Sect expert a cold glance, then opened all the Space Rings.

At once, spiritual energy surged, and Divine Light shimmered.

"How about adding these?" Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, said coldly to Lu Yiping.

These Yin Ghost Sect experts were at minimum in the God Realm, while Ba Tian was a True God. Naturally, their Space Rings contained abundant treasures.

Yet Lu Yiping shook his head. "Still not enough." After a pause, he added, "That Yin-Yang Furnace of your Yin Ghost Sect is on you, isn't it?"

Yin-Yang Furnace!

At those words, everyone's expressions sharpened.

The Yin-Yang Furnace was a high-grade divine artifact of the Yin Ghost Sect, a supreme divine furnace for refining pills. Pills refined with it naturally carried Yin Yang Two Energies, greatly improving their quality.

Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, changed expression. His face shifted between light and dark before he finally gritted his teeth and took out a furnace. The furnace was two-colored and gleamed brightly.

It was precisely the Yin-Yang Furnace.

Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, placed the Yin-Yang Furnace on the table and stared coldly at Lu Yiping. "Is it enough now?"

"Barely passable. Though this Yin-Yang Furnace is trash too, it will do for my subordinates." Lu Yiping spoke blandly.

Everyone nearly sprayed out the wine in their mouths.

If Lu Yiping won, he was going to give the Yin-Yang Furnace to his subordinates?

Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, had an ugly expression as he stared at Lu Yiping. "You first, or me?"

Lu Yiping made a gesture of invitation.

Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, said no more. He took out a qin over a meter long. It was dark and gloomy in color, seeming to possess a demonic nature. Once one looked at it, it was difficult to tear one's eyes away.

"Heavenly Demon Qin!" Yun Haitian cried out in shock upon seeing it.

"The Heavenly Demon Qin! Could it be the Heavenly Demon Qin of the Six-fingered Qin Demon?!" The crowd erupted into uproar.

The Six-fingered Qin Demon was currently the foremost qin master of the Hengyuan Plane!

Now that Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, had brought out the Heavenly Demon Qin, could he have already become the Six-fingered Qin Demon's disciple?
