Chapter 1596: Chapter 1593: As Long as You Dare to Bet, I’ll Bet with You! (5 more)

Qi Xuan smiled, "Junior Brother Dongfang, don’t listen to those martial artists’ nonsense. As the Junior Sword Master of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, I naturally wouldn’t interfere lightly in a martial arts competition."

"It’s a great taboo of the sect. I wouldn’t dare to commit it."

"If Junior Brother Dongfang doesn’t believe me, you can ask Elder Chen."

"Elder Chen is the guardian elder of Martial God Mountain, presiding over the martial arts competition here. He is the certifier, and you should believe his words, should you not, Junior Brother Dongfang?"

Qi Xuan spoke with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Elder Chen immediately stood up and said, "That’s right, Dongfang Bai..."

"Enough, I don’t want to hear that much nonsense." Lin Bai interrupted Elder Chen before he could finish speaking.

This displeased Elder Chen inside. After all, he was a Feng Yue Elder of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. Even if you are the Junior Sword Master, you should show some respect. But Lin Bai casually cut off Elder Chen’s words, further infuriating him.

Since this Elder Chen, the guardian elder in charge of the rules here, required fairness and justice but had already privately protected Qi Xuan, he had lost his duty as an impartial elder of this place.

Why should Lin Bai show respect to someone who could not maintain their duty?

Moreover, Elder Chen was merely a practitioner with strength at the Second Level of the Yangshen Realm, probably much weaker than Ye Fenghuo.

Lin Bai had already killed Ye Fenghuo, so he had no fear of this Elder Chen!

Lin Bai spoke lightly, "Senior Brother Qi Xuan, you also said just now that if Nie Xiong is capable, he can come down and win back Li Chou’s sword. Does Senior Brother Qi Xuan’s word still stand?"

Qi Xuan said with a laugh, "Of course, it stands. Betting is common during competitions on Martial God Mountain. If Nie Xiong truly has the strength to defeat Meng Chunrui, then what’s the issue with returning Li Chou’s sword?"

Lin Bai said with a smile, "That’s good."

"Nie Xiong, go down to the arena and meet with Meng Chunrui from Qimen. Let’s see if the martial artists of Qimen are as extraordinary as the legends suggest."

Lin Bai said with an indifferent smile.

Nie Xiong was overjoyed and said, "Rest assured, Senior Brother Dongfang. When I go down to the arena, I’ll beat Meng Chunrui until he’s searching for his teeth on the ground!"

After hearing this, Lin Bai added, "Go ahead and attack with confidence. Today, with me here, no one can make any waves! Even the guardian elder of this place must stay quiet and obedient!"

Hearing Lin Bai’s words, Nie Xiong was like he had swallowed a reassurance pill, his smile turning even brighter, revealing a hint of ferocity and malice: "Understood!"

"Meng Chunrui, come down and meet your death!"

Nie Xiong roared angrily, leapt into the air, and directly landed in the center of the martial arts competition arena.

With Nie Xiong’s landing, a vastly dominant sword intention, like wolves and tigers, spread throughout the arena.

All the spectator martial artists who felt Nie Xiong’s burst of sword intention took a sharp inhale of cold air and watched him in awe: "Nie Xiong’s cultivation has actually reached such a level!"

Meng Chunrui was startled, and frightened pale by Nie Xiong’s sword intention, no longer had his previous domineering presence.

Previously, with Lin Bai not present, Meng Chunrui, relying on the strength of Qi Xuan, the Junior Sword Master, had bullied the seventy-two sword cultivators of Fairy Cave Mountain.

But now that Lin Bai had arrived, if Meng Chunrui continued to be unrestrained, even if Qi Xuan was inclined to protect him, Lin Bai would not let him off easily!

"Senior Brother Qi Xuan..." At this moment, Meng Chunrui looked at Qi Xuan in shock.

Qi Xuan’s expression turned cold, and after glancing at Nie Xiong, he spoke faintly to Dongfang Bai, "Junior Brother Dongfang, it’s just an ordinary disciple’s competition, why must you speak such ruthless words?"

Lin Bai sneered, "I’m just worried that Senior Brother Qi Xuan can’t restrain his own hands."

Qi Xuan responded angrily, "Hmph, so in Junior Brother Dongfang’s eyes, am I considered a person of vile and despicable nature? Since that’s the case, it’s better not to fight this battle!"

"Since Junior Brother Dongfang has no sincerity, then don’t blame me for turning heartless."

Qi Xuan stated coldly.

With Qi Xuan’s strength and realm, he could instantly see that Nie Xiong was far inferior compared to Meng Chunrui!

With Nie Xiong’s current strength, he can be said to be the top figure beneath the Yangshen Realm of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. Among those in the Yin Saint Realm, there is no one who can rival Nie Xiong!

Of course, except for Lin Bai!

If at this moment Qi Xuan were to allow Meng Chunrui to be defeated, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face for Qimen?

Originally, Qi Xuan intended to suppress the limelight of the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Fairy Cave Mountain, showing them that within the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, it was they of Qimen who held sway.

Lin Bai’s face showed some displeasure: "Didn’t Senior Brother Qi Xuan just say that Nie Xiong and Meng Chunrui could have a fight? Why retract your words now? Could it be that you, being the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Junior Sword Master, are also a despicable person who goes back on his word?"

"You!" Qi Xuan, provoked by Lin Bai’s words, suddenly displayed a fierce glint in his eyes and his gaze turned sharp. A sly smile crept onto his lips: "Fine, since Senior Brother Dongfang wants to see Nie Xiong and Meng Chunrui fight, why don’t we raise the stakes a bit?"

"What stakes?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Qi Xuan replied with a cold smirk: "As long as Junior Brother Dongfang is willing to put up the Demonic Sword as stakes, then I will consent to let Meng Chunrui fight Nie Xiong."

"What do you say? Does Junior Brother Dongfang have the courage?"

Qi Xuan watched Lin Bai with amusement, turning the tables to put Lin Bai in a tight spot.

The Demonic Sword is a treasure covetously desired by all sword cultivators on the Lingnan Continent. Qi Xuan suggested this, fully expecting that Lin Bai wouldn’t stake the Demonic Sword.

If Lin Bai is unwilling to put up the Demonic Sword as stakes, then the fight would not proceed!

"Senior Brother Dongfang, don’t, don’t, don’t do it..." Li Chou, hearing this, immediately rushed to Lin Bai’s side, urging him. He didn’t want Lin Bai to gamble the Demonic Sword for his own weapon!

"Senior Brother Dongfang, think twice!" Over twenty sword cultivators of Fairy Cave Mountain hastened to dissuade him.

"Senior Brother Dongfang, don’t fall for someone else’s scheme." Luo Xuan also spoke up anxiously.

All of the over two hundred thousand spectator martial artists present were dumbfounded, their eyes wide: "Oh my, Qi Xuan and Dongfang Bai are upping the ante so much? Demanding the Demonic Sword as stakes just like that?"

Seeing the tension among the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Fairy Cave Mountain, Qi Xuan was even more convinced that Lin Bai would not comply, so he taunted with a sneering laugh: "What’s the matter? Doesn’t Junior Brother Dongfang dare? In that case, let’s forget about this fight."

"Heh." Lin Bai sneered contemptuously, and with a pat on his storage bag, an exceedingly sharp Treasure Sword, exuding a sword might that seemed to dominate all beings, resounded thunderously in the Martial Arts Competition Arena.

Shoo—

The Demonic Sword flew out of the storage bag and fiercely embedded itself in the ground.

"The Demonic Sword is here! Senior Brother Qi Xuan, I’ll take your bet!" Lin Bai said with a light laugh.

Qi Xuan’s face turned pale with shock, as he stared blankly at Lin Bai, completely stunned!

Qi Xuan had never dreamed that Lin Bai would truly put up the Demonic Sword as stakes!

Following that, Lin Bai said with a light chuckle: "Now that I’ve put up the Demonic Sword as stakes, shouldn’t Senior Brother Qi Xuan also put something up as well?"

Qi Xuan’s gaze was tyrannically fixed on the Demonic Sword, his heart pounding rapidly, with pure greed in his eyes.

Even Elder Chen, at this moment, wore an incredibly surprised expression, his gaze towards the Demonic Sword also filled with greed!

Qi Xuan’s mind raced, thinking that if he won, then the Demonic Sword would be his.

Qi Xuan then produced an object from his storage bag, it was a finely crafted Treasure Sword, and he announced: "This sword, known as ’Extremely Dazzling’, is my personal Sword, forged with..."

Before Qi Xuan could finish, Lin Bai interrupted him coldly: "I have no interest in your worthless junk."

To have his personal Sword dismissed as worthless junk by Lin Bai incensed Qi Xuan beyond belief, his expression chilling as he ground his teeth and said: "Then what do you want?"

Lin Bai’s gaze flashed sharply as he replied in a cold voice: "I want all Qimen martial artists who just now insulted the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Fairy Cave Mountain to each break off an arm!"

"And I also want both of Senior Brother Qi Xuan’s arms!"

"Qi Xuan, if you dare to wager, then let’s bet!"
