As Ling Wushuang's murderous aura locked onto Lei Yuxiao and his two companions, the atmosphere in the arena immediately became disharmonious.
The pervasive smell of gunpowder caused sparks to fly in the air.
Lei Yuxiao frowned and began to quickly analyze the current situation.
In a one-on-one fight, he could hold his own against Ling Wushuang.
Yan Xishan can also block the opponent's Ye Feng.
But what remains...
Lei Yuxiao glanced at Heavenly Firmament Jin Tianshuo, the only remaining Metal Clan on his side, but the enemy still had three Heavenly Firmament King Realm.
If a fight were to break out, they would clearly suffer a significant loss.
This filled Lei Yuxiao with regret.
If I had known this would happen, why would I have bothered plotting to kill Lin Heng before even going up the mountain?
If they had Lin Heng's team back then, they wouldn't have lost two people in Heavenly Mountain, leading to the current situation.
Seeing that the balance of power had completely tipped in favor of the Ascenders, Lei Yuxiao decided to concede defeat and hand over the promised benefits.
Unexpectedly, Lin Heng spoke up with a smile, "If you think I, Lin Heng, have gotten the better deal, how about we make a bet?"
Lei Yuxiao became interested. "What are we betting on?"
Lin Heng's gaze swept over Lei Yuxiao and the other two, and quickly settled on Jin Tianshuo.
"He will fight my clone. If he wins, I will not take back what you promised me."
"Conversely, if my clone wins, you'll have to pay double."
When Lin Heng proposed the bet, Lei Yuxiao's eyes widened, and for a moment he wondered if he had misheard.
How strong could Lin Heng's clone be, given he's only at the Primordial Realm?
The powerful beings of the Nine Heavens all know that a clone is usually weaker than the original body.
Lin Heng actually wants his clone to challenge a Heavenly Firmament King Realm?
Lei Yuxiao felt that he couldn't figure out Lin Heng's thoughts at all.
"Brother Yuxiao, I refuse to believe that I, a dignified Heavenly Firmament King Realm, would lose to Lin Heng's clone in this battle!"
Jin Tianshuo confidently volunteered for the battle.
Yan Xishan chimed in, "Brother Lei, I think this is a good idea. If Brother Jin wins, I'd rather give him that two-hundred-million-year-old spirit herb than give it to Lin Heng."
Seeing that the two agreed, Lei Yuxiao nodded in agreement.
"Tian Shuo, I'm counting on you then. If you can win, the two-hundred-million-year-old spiritual herb that Xi Shan and I shared will be yours."
Lei Yuxiao's words only fueled Jin Tianshuo's fighting spirit.
Two spiritual herbs, each two hundred million years old, could be obtained for the cost of killing just one avatar at the Primordial Realm. Where else could you find such a bargain?
On the other hand, the Ascenders were getting anxious.
Ling Wushuang flashed to Lin Heng's side. "Brother Lin Heng, you didn't need to make such a bet. We will definitely help you get everything back."
Lin Heng smiled confidently, "Brother Wushuang, please rest assured. If I weren't confident, why would I have taken the initiative to offer this?"
Ling Wushuang stared at Lin Heng for a moment, and seeing the determination in his eyes, she finally agreed and stepped back.
Seeing that neither side had any objections, Jin Tianshuo stepped forward, looked at Lin Heng, and sneered, "Summon your clone!"
Lin Heng didn't waste any words with him. With a thought, his Evil Avatar from the Primordial Chaos World appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Heng.
Having already witnessed everything within the Primordial Chaos World, the Evil Avatar naturally understood Lin Heng's purpose in summoning him.
Turning back, the Evil Avatar grinned at Lin Heng: "This is completely different from inside the Time Treasure."
Lin Heng was taken aback at first, but quickly realized that the Evil Avatar was clearly telling him that he hadn't taken the battle inside the Time Treasure seriously at all.
This guy...
Lin Heng shook his head and gave a wry smile. Was this a mockery from his own clone?
Lin Heng then stepped back and stood with Ling Wushuang and the others.
After the Evil Avatar appeared, Jin Tianshuo raised his eyebrows slightly. "A clone stronger than the original body, that's truly rare."
But then, Jin Tianshuo revealed a disdainful look again. "But with your mere Primordial Chaos Earth Stage cultivation, you dare to dream of fighting me?"
The Evil Avatar had no habit of wasting words. He reached forward with his right hand and grabbed a sharp sword wreathed in black ghostly energy.
" Nine Nether Qi?"
Jin Tianshuo's expression tightened slightly upon sensing the aura emanating from the Evil Avatar Sword.
But before he could think any further, the Evil Avatar had already charged forward, brandishing the sword in its hand.
"Hmph! You're asking for it!"
Jin Tianshuo was extremely displeased that the Evil Avatar dared to attack him.
Jin Tianshuo clenched his right hand instantly, and a gleaming gold-backed broadsword came into his grasp.
With his longsword in hand, Jin Tianshuo it forward with a fierce motion, the blade tearing through space and creating a spatial rift in mid-air.
Just as the longsword was about to collide with the Evil Avatar's sword, the Evil Avatar suddenly vanished.
"Um?"
Jin Tianshuo was slightly surprised, but his soul power quickly locked onto the Evil Avatar again. It turned out that it had used the laws of the Primordial Chaos World to instantly teleport behind him.
"You dare to try and show off your meager skills in front of me? How laughable!"
Jin Tianshuo's longsword stopped abruptly, and with the force of the recoil, he slashed at the Evil Avatar behind him again.
In an instant, the long blade sliced across the body of the Evil Avatar, Evil Avatar floated in mid-air, seemingly without any reaction.
"Oops!"
Ling Wushuang's expression changed drastically, and the Ascenders also began to circulate their energy.
"I didn't expect it to end so quickly. I thought Lin Heng had some amazing tricks up his sleeve."
Lei Yuxiao looked disdainfully at the space where the Evil Avatar was located, while Yan Xishan also revealed a ferocious smile.
'call!'
Suddenly, a black crescent moon appeared from the void, and before Jin Tianshuo react, it bit his shoulder.
'puff!'
Blood gushed from Jin Tianshuo's left shoulder, spraying into the air, and the excruciating pain in his shoulder filled his eyes with shock.
The next second, the Evil Avatar appeared in front of him like a ghost, grabbed his hair with its free left hand, turned around and Jin Tianshuo him into the air.
While Jin Tianshuo was still in mid-air, the Evil Avatar swung its sword again, and a black crescent moon burst forth from the tip of the sword. A hideous skull shadow flashed at the tip of the crescent moon, revealing a terrifying smile.
Jin Tianshuo wanted to escape, but he found that the space around him was completely still.
The Primordial Chaos World Power surged like a tidal wave, and Jin Tianshuo challenged the Law of Space that imprisoned him.
However, before he could break free from the shackles of the Law of Space, the black crescent moon, transformed into a skull, swallowed him whole.
"Ah!!!"
Jin Tianshuo's agonizing screams emanated from within the black skull, a piercing sound that sent chills down one's spine.
"Not good!"
Sensing something was wrong, Lei Yuxiao moved swiftly, flashing towards the black skull.
The Eight Great Imperial Clans Eight Great Imperial Clans already at a disadvantage in terms of combat strength. If Jin Tianshuo were to encounter any further mishaps, the situation would only become more unfavorable for them.
