Section 39

Sigu Jian raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"Then what do you want?"

He asked.

"How about we make a wager?"

Li Chengping said.

"A wager?"

Sigu Jian was taken aback upon hearing this.

He did not expect Li Chengping to make such a request.

"What are we wagering?"

He asked.

"Let's wager on..."

Li Chengping paused, then said.

"Within three moves, who is stronger, you or Ximen Chuixue!"

His voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"What?!"

Sigu Jian was shocked upon hearing this.

He did not expect Li Chengping to propose such a wager.

"This... how is this possible?"

He said incredulously.

"Why not?"

Li Chengping asked in return.

"If you lose, come serve under me as a house servant, how about that?"

Li Chengping's voice was filled with temptation.

"A house servant?!"

The Sword Hut Disciples were in an uproar upon hearing this.

"Arrogant! Simply extremely arrogant!"

"How dare you ask our Revered Master to be a house servant?!"

"You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

"..."

The Sword Hut Disciples glared with wide eyes, wishing they could tear Li Chengping apart.

Sigu Jian's expression also turned ugly.

He did not expect Li Chengping to humiliate him like this.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He laughed in extreme anger, saying the word "good" three times.

"Since that is the case, then as you wish!"

He gritted his teeth and agreed to Li Chengping's wager.

"However, if you lose, what then?"

He asked.

"If I lose?"

Li Chengping smiled and said.

"If I lose, I will present Ximen Chuixue's Sword Dao Legacy with both hands!"

His voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"What?!"

Yun Zhilan exclaimed upon hearing this.

"Sword Dao Legacy?!"

He said incredulously.

He still found it hard to believe.

A Sword Dao Legacy is the very foundation of a swordsman!

Sigu Jian did not speak, simply looking at Li Chengping quietly.

A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

He pondered for a moment, then said:

"Good, I agree!"

His voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.

...

Meanwhile, on a mountain peak not far away.

Two dark figures were quietly watching all of this.

"Hei Wuchang, this Prince Ping is not simple."

One of the dark figures said.

Her voice was hoarse and low, as if coming from Hell.

"Bai Wuchang, you are right."

The other dark figure said.

His voice was sharp and grating, as if coming from the Nine Netherworlds.

"This Prince Ping actually dares to wager with Sigu Jian; he is truly daring."

Hei Wuchang said.

Chapter 35: demon blade thousand edges! The mantis stalks the cicada!

"However, this is exactly our opportunity."

Bai Wuchang said.

"Oh?"

Hei Wuchang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"How so?"

He asked.

"Think about it, if Prince Ping loses, Sigu Jian will definitely kill him."

Bai Wuchang said.

"When that happens, we can step in and take Prince Ping's corpse; wouldn't that be a great achievement?"

"Anyway, the bounty we accepted only requires the result."

Her voice was filled with smugness.

"Brilliant!"

Hei Wuchang was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Bai Wuchang, you are truly too smart!"

He exclaimed in admiration.

"Hehe, that goes without saying."

Bai Wuchang said smugly.

"The two of us, joining forces, have never failed!"

Her voice was filled with confidence.

"However, we cannot let our guard down."

Hei Wuchang said.

"This Prince Ping has a Sword Dao Great Grandmaster by his side; we must proceed with caution."

His tone carried a hint of gravity.

"Rest assured, Hei Wuchang."

Bai Wuchang said.

"We aren't pushovers either."

Her voice was filled with killing intent.

"Once they fight until both are heavily injured, we will strike and take him down in one go!"

Her voice was filled with smugness.

...

"My Lord, may I borrow your sword?"

Ximen Chuixue asked respectfully.

"Of course!"

Li Chengping chuckled and tossed out the demon blade thousand edges.

Ximen Chuixue caught the long sword and gave it a light wave.
