"Master, let me do it!"
Before Lu Qingshan could speak, Chi You transmitted his voice.
Although Chi You doesn't usually take action, he naturally wouldn't back down when someone challenged him so boldly.
Moreover, dealing with a mere Void True God wouldn't expose him at all.
"No need—"
Lu Qingshan picked up the wine jug and tossed one of it to Chi You.
Chi You took the wine jug, took a big gulp, and said nothing more.
" Divine Lord Fang Yuan, are you afraid? Or do you have deep feelings for your servant and fear for his life? It's alright—I'll have the Evil Turtle be careful and try not to take his life."
Yao Qi still refused to give up.
Because of Fang Yuan's presence, the Yao Family lost first place in the Six Lineages Grand Competition, which made Yao Qi very unhappy. After all, he was a young man, and if given the chance, he would like to make up for it.
Are you sure you want to compete with me?
Lu Qingshan put down his wine glass and asked.
"Sure."
Yao Qi immediately spoke.
How much is the prize?
"How about ten thousand Cosmic Sand?" Yao Qi asked tentatively, then added, "However, if Divine Lord Fang Yuan thinks it's too much, we can reduce it a bit."
Two hundred thousand!
Lu Qingshan said calmly.
"Ten thousand Cosmic Sand and you want me to gamble with you? Who do you think you are? Two hundred thousand Cosmic Sand. If you accept, I'll have my men make a move. If you can't come up with that, you'd better get lost."
Upon hearing this, Yao Qi's face paled slightly.
He really couldn't produce two hundred thousand units of Cosmic Sand.
Although he is the Eternal True God of the Yao Family, with a rich family foundation, he has only just broken through and does not control much of the family's resources. Two hundred thousand Cosmic Sand is a huge amount for him.
"This Divine Lord Fang Yuan probably knows that his servant is no match for the Evil Turtle, but he's too proud to admit it, so he offered a bet he thought I couldn't afford, in order to maintain the upper hand—"
Yao Qi pondered silently to himself.
He was fully aware of the servant Evil Turtle's strength. This beast was one he had carefully selected and purchased from Sin City; its strength was almost top-tier among Void True God. Most importantly, its defensive capabilities were formidable; even if it wasn't a match for him, it could rely on its powerful defenses to hold its own.
Their defensive capabilities ensure their survival; as long as they don't perish, it's a draw, making them virtually invincible.
Over the years, he has made a lot of money from the Evil Turtle, and has long since recouped his initial purchase cost.
Thinking of this, Yao Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Two hundred thousand it is, Divine Lord Fang Yuan, I agree!"
"In that case, let Wondrous Sound Pavilion be our witness."
Lu Qingshan then took out a jade bottle containing two hundred thousand units of Cosmic Sand.
Wondrous Sound Pavilion initially wanted to offer some advice, but seeing that Lu Qingshan had even taken out the Cosmic Sand, she didn't say anything more.
After all, the news that Divine Lord Fang Yuan's Eternal Divine Weapon had been auctioned off for a sky-high price of 200,000 Cosmic Sand had already spread. Many people knew that 200,000 Cosmic Sand might be an astronomical figure for other Eternal True God, but for Divine Lord Fang Yuan, he could earn that amount simply by forging one Eternal Divine Weapon.
Yao Qi was surprised that the other party would directly take out Cosmic Sand and ask the Wondrous Sound Pavilion to be a witness, causing his expression to change slightly.
He hesitated for a moment, then took out an exquisite jade bottle and said, "There are 76,000 Cosmic Sand inside."
"Seventy-six thousand?"
Wondrous Sound Pavilion and Lu Qingshan both glanced at him; clearly, this was far from the figure of two hundred thousand.
"The rest will be secured by my Yao Family's shops and properties in Nanyun City, plus one of my weapon-refining workshops in Nanyun City. All of this combined will definitely be worth more than 200,000 Cosmic Sand."
Yao Qi then took out some house deeds and other contracts, and handed them all over to the Wondrous Sound Pavilion.
By taking out these items, Yao Qi had clearly done everything in his power, even contributing all the assets the Yao Family had given him.
"After Yao Qi broke through to the Eternal True God, Master Yao Bing Yao Qi upon him a weapon-refining workshop. The workshop was worth approximately 100,000 units of Cosmic Sand, which, combined with other resources, was indeed sufficient."
After reviewing the documents, Wondrous Sound Pavilion nodded to Lu Qingshan.
Yao Qi, his eyes red like a crazed gambler, said, " Divine Lord Fang Yuan, shall we begin now?"
"Your men have just been through a battle; do they need to rest and recover?"
Lu Qingshan glanced at the Evil Turtle still on the arena.
"No need. Dealing with that guy didn't take much divine power from the Evil Turtle. Let's begin, don't waste any time!"
Yao Qi urged immediately.
At this moment, all he wanted to see was the Evil Turtle quickly subdue Divine Lord Fang Yuan's servants, so that he could obtain 200,000 units of Cosmic Sand and become rich overnight.
Moreover, by winning this match, the Yao Family had managed to regain some face.
"Since that's the case—alright then—" Lu Qingshan turned to Chi You, "It's up to you."
"Rest assured!"
Chi You gave Lu Qingshan a reassuring look.
It's not that I'm no match for the opponent, but rather that I can defeat the opponent without using the power of Eternal True God or the abilities of World Beast.
For someone like Yao Qi who has just broken through to the Eternal True God stage, it is indeed difficult to do so. However, Chi You Peak Eternal True God stage and has good talent. He can easily create some secret techniques that do not use the Origin of Laws, which are enough to crush opponents at the Void True God stage.
Chi You took out a huge axe.
He took a step forward, leaped down from the upper floor, and landed directly on the arena. The instant he landed, an invisible barrier rose around the arena, completely covering the area and preventing the energy from the battle from dissipating and affecting the other guests in the Wondrous Sound Pavilion.
Everyone at the Baihua Banquet was completely focused on the arena.
They were all very curious to know as well.
In this contest between the Yao Family and Divine Lord Fang Yuan, who will ultimately prevail?
The bet of 200,000 units of Cosmic Sand was a huge gamble for everyone present.
Whether Yao Qi or Divine Lord Fang Yuan wins, the news will likely spread throughout Nanyun City the next day.
" Divine Lord Fang Yuan was still too impulsive----"
Wondrous Sound Pavilion looked at Lu Qingshan, who was leisurely drinking tea, and wondered if it was because of his confidence or because he didn't care about the two hundred thousand Cosmic Sand.
On magnanimity.
Yao Qi is no match for Divine Lord Fang Yuan.
That guy was yelling and promising benefits to the Evil Turtle, completely lacking the demeanor of Eternal True God.
The Wondrous Sound Pavilion understood that this was normal. Those things were everything to Yao Qi. Once he lost them, there would be virtually no chance of him recovering in the future, and the Yao Family would no longer provide him with any other support. But for Divine Lord Fang Yuan, two hundred thousand Cosmic Sand were nothing at all.
The guests on the other floors of the Wondrous Sound Pavilion were also quite surprised.
Wondrous Sound Pavilion usually only holds one arena match at a time, but unexpectedly, there are two matches today.
However, news of the Baihua Banquet soon spread.
They all know.
This is a high-stakes gamble between Yao Qi Yao Qi Lord of the Yao Family Divine Weapon Pavilion, and Divine Lord Fang Yuan.
Everyone was incredibly excited, never expecting to witness a contest between two divine rulers. Many people were speculating about who would emerge victorious.
Those who supported the Evil Turtle were naturally the most numerous, after all, he had just demonstrated his strength, killing a hundred-victorious expert from the Wondrous Sound Pavilion, while the other was merely a servant of Divine Lord Fang Yuan, an unknown figure.
Wondrous Sound Pavilion didn't keep everyone waiting for long.
After the defensive formation is activated.
On the arena, as the barrier separating the two disappeared, the battle began.
The Evil Turtle struck first.
He had received Yao Qi's promise that as long as he killed the other party, he would receive unimaginable benefits, so he naturally worked very hard.
His body grew larger, resembling an ancient beast, and he let out a violent roar.
Although enormous, it was not cumbersome. In an instant, it arrived in front of Chi You, and the iron hammer that had just shattered the True God Heart its opponent was swung up again and smashed fiercely towards Chi You.
However, Chi You did not dodge.
He didn't even lift the Giant Axe.
The Evil Turtle's iron hammer slammed into Chi You's chest, producing a dull thud. Although the energy was blocked by the formation, the dull thud alone was enough to convey the immense power of the attack.
Many viewers believed that Divine Lord Fang Yuan's servant was about to be smashed to pieces by this hammer blow.
However, Chi You remained completely still.
A black suit of armor appeared on his chest, with only a few tiny wrinkles.
He looked up at the Evil Turtle's hideous face, grinned, and said, "That's it?"
The Evil Turtle's pupils contracted, clearly indicating that its opponent possessed extremely powerful defensive armor.
This armor is extremely valuable; it can even neutralize most of his attacks.
The Wondrous Sound Pavilion.
Yao Qi glanced at Lu Qingshan and said, " Divine Lord Fang Yuan, you truly live up to your reputation as a master weapon refiner. You're really generous; even your servants have eternal divine weapons as armor."
This statement carried a hint of sarcasm.
It means that Lu Qingshan is a sore loser for giving his servants such good equipment.
Lu Qingshan simply smiled faintly and said, "That's just standard equipment for my men, it's not like I lent it to him on the spot."
"You, Yao Qi, can't afford it? Do you think no one else can afford it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone else laughed.
While bestowing an eternal divine weapon upon a servant might be a bit of an exaggeration, what can one do when Divine Lord Fang Yuan, is a master weapon refiner?
It's understandable that a powerful weapon-forging master would bestow an eternal divine weapon armor upon his subordinate.
This only shows that Divine Lord Fang Yuan is generous.
On the arena, the Evil Turtle did not give up. Although the Eternal Divine Weapon was powerful, the Void True God had limited abilities to use. Even if he could not break through the Eternal Divine Weapon armor, he could still deplete the opponent's divine body by simply using the energy vibrations. It would just take more time. He had rich combat experience to stand out in Sin City.
The Evil Turtle's giant hammer slammed down again.
This time, Chi You did not continue to resist head-on. He took a step to the side, and although it was only a small step, he precisely avoided the trajectory of the iron hammer. The Evil Turtle's iron hammer smashed onto the arena, and stone chips flew everywhere.
In that brief moment, Chi You swung his Giant Axe, striking the Evil Turtle's hind leg with pinpoint accuracy.
The massive body of the Evil Turtle was flipped over and rolled several times before coming to a stop.
Although the Evil Turtle's thick hind leg was not completely severed, it had a very clear wound. The wound was deep, and blood seeped out, quickly covering the entire thigh, resembling a blood-red stone pillar.
"Roar!!"
Ignoring its injuries, the Evil Turtle roared and launched another attack.
But Chi You was faster and easily dodged it. He circled around behind the Evil Turtle and swung his axe again. With a soft thud, the Evil Turtle's body was sent flying once more, and another wound appeared on its hind leg.
Again!!!
Once or twice.
The Evil Turtle was like a ball, being tossed around again and again. Although it did not give up, the wounds on its body increased. Except for its most sturdy shell, almost every other part of its body was covered with deep wounds.
His spirits had also weakened considerably.
Although the True God Heart was hidden inside the tortoise shell and remained undamaged, the damage to his divine body was already quite severe.
The Wondrous Sound Pavilion.
Yao Qi's expression changed completely.
He realized at that moment that Divine Lord Fang Yuan's servant was no ordinary person.
Not only does it possess the Eternal Divine Armor for defense, but it also boasts astonishing strength and unpredictable movements. The speed of the Evil Turtle is no match for its opponent. It can be said that the opponent is already invincible against the Evil Turtle.
Where did this guy come from?
Yao Qi roared inwardly.
He never expected that a mere servant by Divine Lord Fang Yuan's side would possess such abilities.
What worried him even more was that if things continued like this, the Evil Turtle might lose.
But he absolutely cannot lose.
" Evil Turtle, don't continue fighting him head-on. Just focus on staying alive."
Yao Qi gritted his teeth and said.
He no longer craves victory; a draw is enough to preserve his assets.
He was very familiar with the Evil Turtle's abilities. The Evil Turtle's strongest defensive capabilities had not yet been revealed, which was the source of his confidence in taking out 200,000 units of Cosmic Sand.
If he wins, it's two hundred thousand; if he loses? As long as the Evil Turtle into its shell, he can't lose at all.
Upon hearing this, the Evil Turtle slammed the iron hammer in its hand onto the ground, causing the entire arena to tremble. Its divine body emitted an earthy yellow light, and then its body began to shrink inward, retracting into a sturdy tortoise shell.
The tortoise shell lay silently on the arena, as if it were a dead object.
" Divine Lord Fang Yuan, how about a draw?"
Yao Qi took a deep breath and said.
"Draw?"
Lu Qingshan merely glanced at him and smiled, "Now, your men have no ability to attack; they can only passively take the beating. You call that a draw?"
"So what?" Yao Qi snorted and said, "My servant's strongest asset is his defense. He's retreated into his shell, and even Eternal True God would have a hard time killing him—you don't actually think your subordinate can break through the Evil Turtle's defenses, do you?"
0
How will you know if you don't try?
Lu Qingshan looked at Chi You and said with a smile, " Xing Tian, there's no need to hide anymore. Use that move to smash open his tortoise shell."
"No problem."
Chi You put away his original axe and took out another axe. This axe was no different from the previous one, except that there was a black gem on the handle.
That is—
Yao Qi suddenly had a bad feeling.
Because of this weapon—he had seen it before—
The weapon that Divine Lord Fang Yuan forged during the Six Lineages Grand Competition also had a distinctive gemstone.
That's right, it was indeed a backup weapon that Lu Qingshan had crafted for Chi You, modeled after the Infinity Gauntlet. After all, he planned to use this move in the Six Lineages Grand Competition, so it was impossible for him not to practice it first.
Such a weapon can maximize the power of the Eternal Divine Weapon and enhance Chi You's combat strength, since Chi You is currently only disguised as the Void True God.
"Such a weapon, the same type, fetched 200,000 units of Cosmic Sand. I never imagined that even Divine Lord Fang Yuan's servant possessed one—this—"
The expression of the Wondrous Sound Pavilion also changed slightly.
Could this servant have saved Divine Lord Fang Yuan's life? Most weapon-refining masters aren't this kind of to their disciples!
"Let's end this!"
On the arena, Chi You unleashed a powerful axe strike.
The gem at the axe handle emitted a dazzling black light—the Destruction Origin —the weapon's inherent Destruction Origin.
Boom!!!
An ax fell.
The entire Wondrous Sound Pavilion was trembling; the defensive array was almost at its limit, and the light flickered on and off.
Needless to say, the Evil Turtle that took the full force of this attack...
His tortoise shell was split open almost instantly, scattering debris everywhere.
He cleaved the tortoise shell in two with a single axe stroke.
Chi You then swung his axe again, and before the Evil Turtle could even react, its True God Heart was annihilated.
