Open up and break into another world

“Bet my life against you?” Xu Ming looked at the Eye-Sword Master.

“That’s right!” The Eye-Sword Master said with arrogance, “If you lose, you only need to give me the Heart-Slaying Arrow, and I will not make things difficult for you! But if I lose, I will bet my life against you. Whether you kill, dismember, or enslave my soul, I won’t even frown!”

The Eye-Sword Master’s arrogant aura swept across the entire arena.

Many of the spectating ancient cultivators were shocked by the Eye-Sword Master’s confident aura.

“The Eye-Sword Master is betting his life! Does Xu Ming dare to accept the challenge?”

“I’m afraid not! After all, the Eye-Sword Master’s cultivation is so much higher than Xu Ming’s, and he’s from the most powerful Mind-Cultivator school! As long as Xu Ming has any self-awareness, he won’t dare to gamble with the Eye-Sword Master!”

“That’s not necessarily true! I heard… Xu Ming is famous for being arrogant in the Divine Domain!”

“If Xu Ming accepts the challenge, it will be exactly what the Eye-Sword Master wants!”

“In my opinion, this Eye-Sword Master is really cunning!” An ancient cultivator with sharp eyes said with a smile, “Saying he’s ‘betting his life’ is actually just trying to get something for nothing! He won’t lose anyway, so betting his life is no different from not offering any stake at all!”

“That makes sense! Now, it depends on whether Xu Ming is arrogant enough to accept the challenge!”

…

The surrounding ancient cultivators clearly felt that the Eye-Sword Master was stronger!

Even though Xu Ming’s performance in the Inheritance Pool was beyond description!

Even though the fame Xu Ming had earned in the Divine Domain was beyond belief!

But after all, the Eye-Sword Master’s cultivation was there! In everyone’s eyes, under the absolute crushing power of cultivation, there was no way Xu Ming could defeat the Eye-Sword Master!

The only suspense now was: Would Xu Ming dare to accept the challenge?

Would he be a coward enduring humiliation?

Or would he be a hot-headed fool?

All eyes turned to Xu Ming, waiting for him to make this difficult choice.

At this moment, Xu Ming suddenly smiled: “It sounds like this gamble is quite favorable to me! I only need to offer an external object as a stake, while you have to bet your life!”

Xu Ming looked at the Eye-Sword Master.

“That’s right!” The Eye-Sword Master’s aura remained arrogant, “Xu Ming, stop talking nonsense and just say whether you dare or not!”

The few ancient cultivators from the Wind-Riding Path who had snuck in also started to stir things up from the side: “That’s right! Xu Ming, just say if you’re afraid!”

“He definitely doesn’t dare to accept the challenge!”

“So Xu Ming is just a cowardly rat… A mere reputation! A mere reputation!”

“But…” Xu Ming suddenly changed the subject, sneering disdainfully, “Eye-Sword Master, is your life worth much?”

Is your life worth much?

This question stunned the Eye-Sword Master. In his opinion, his life was, of course, the most valuable thing! After all, if he lost his life, he would lose everything. What could be more valuable than his life?

But this was only in the Eye-Sword Master’s own opinion.

Xu Ming continued to sneer: “Is your life worth more than a Chaos Divine Weapon? Heh! If I were willing to offer the Heart-Slaying Arrow as a price, I could buy several Quasi-Saint’s lives, let alone a mere peak Master like you!”

“You…” The Eye-Sword Master was a little dumbfounded.

“Even the lives of Quasi-Saints aren’t as valuable as my Heart-Slaying Arrow! What does that make you, Eye-Sword Master?” Xu Ming laughed, “Betting your life against me? You value your life too much, don’t you?”

“Uh…”

Upon closer thought, it seemed that this was indeed the case. The Eye-Sword Master’s life was indeed far less valuable than a Chaos Divine Weapon!

The Eye-Sword Master’s face turned green and red. After a while, he said with an ugly expression: “Xu Ming, I originally respected you as a person, but I never expected you to be so timid, not daring to fight me at all! A cowardly rat like you doesn’t deserve to possess the Heart-Slaying Arrow! It’s a disgrace to have such a treasure in your hands!”

Xu Ming sneered, saying disdainfully: “When did I say I wouldn’t dare to accept the challenge? Eye-Sword Master, if you want to challenge me, it’s very simple. Offer treasures worth a Chaos Divine Weapon as a stake, and I welcome your challenge at any time!”

“You…” The Eye-Sword Master said shamelessly, “Xu Ming, you know that I can’t come up with so many treasures, yet you deliberately say this! You’re just afraid to accept the challenge and are looking for an excuse!”

“Say whatever you want!” Xu Ming said disdainfully, “Since it’s a gamble, the stakes must be fair! If you can’t even afford the stakes, how dare you try to gamble? Go away, I don’t have time to play with you!”

Xu Ming looked at the Eye-Sword Master with contempt, his eyes seeming to say: Poor ghost!

“Xu Ming!!” The Eye-Sword Master shouted coldly, “You said… as long as I can come up with treasures worth a Chaos Divine Weapon as a stake, you will accept my challenge!?”

“That’s natural!” Xu Ming said matter-of-factly.

“Good! Remember your words!” The Eye-Sword Master snorted angrily and turned to leave. His voice still echoed in the void, “When I come up with enough stakes, I hope you don’t find other excuses!”

“Heh!” Xu Ming shook his head and smiled, “Are you worthy of me making excuses?”

…

After Xu Ming left.

The ancient cultivators began to discuss heatedly.

“Do you think Xu Ming will dare to accept the challenge if the Eye-Sword Master really manages to gather enough treasures?”

“Definitely not! Unless Xu Ming is stupid! Knowing he’s bound to lose, why would he accept the challenge?”

“I also think he won’t dare! Xu Ming was just looking for an excuse to avoid the battle today. He’s just sure that the Eye-Sword Master can’t come up with treasures worth a Chaos Divine Weapon!”

“That’s right! A clear avoidance of battle! If Xu Ming really dared to accept the challenge, he wouldn’t have made so many excuses! He would have accepted the challenge just now!”

“Do you think… the Eye-Sword Master can gather enough treasures?”

“I think it’ll be very difficult! After all, it’s a Chaos Divine Weapon! Even a Quasi-Saint can’t come up with treasures worth a Chaos Divine Weapon, let alone the Eye-Sword Master, who’s just a peak Master!”
