In between shouting, Qin Wushuang did not slow down. Flipping both wings, a burst of purple light slashed across the night horizon like resplendent meteors.
Plundering with his body, he had already made it to the high platform where Qin Taichong was located.
“Senior Brother, you are in a good mood.” When he saw Qin Taichong was enjoying a drink by himself despite being in critical circumstances, he could not refrain from breaking out in a smile.
Not to mention other aspects, just this boldness was matchless to other disciples of the Qin Clan.
With a profound gaze, Qin Taichong fixed his gaze on Qin Wushuang for a while. Then, he roared with laughter all of a sudden. “Good kid, you made such rapid progress, I cannot even see through you. In these ten years, the outside world widely spread the news of how you perished at the Endless Eastern Sea, it seems they are spreading lies.”
“Senior Brother, why are you here?” Qin Wushuang asked curiously.
“Ah, this is a long story. I have been at this Great Bright City for more than three years.”
“Three years?” Qin Wushuang’s general features became austere.
“Yes, I intended to pay a visit to the Farmer God Clan, yet I could not find a way. I could only come to the Great Bright City. This Great Bright City shares the position as the Heavenly Emperor Gate at the Heavenly Fire Southern Border. Initially, I wanted to meet the Lord of the Great Bright City, that could possibly allow me to see the totem elite warrior. Unexpectedly… ah!”
“What happened?” Qin Wushuang was moved.
“Junior Brother Shaohong was involved in a dispute with one of the female disciples of the Great Bright City Lord. He was arrested by the law enforcement of the Great Bright City and imprisoned at the Great Bright City. Each day, he suffered by that earth fire. Being his colleague, I tried every way to save him and almost succeeded, yet I was met by an elite warrior of the Great Bright City…”
“Elite warrior?”
Qin Wushuang looked downward and mumbled lightly, “Could it be this person before us?”
Qin Taichong said with an apprehensive tone, “Wushuang, you must be careful. This person is the number one envoy beneath the Great Bright City Lord. He possesses great strength and is at the Fourth Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. He is the one who set up this defense near this restaurant and trapped me for three years. He said that the day when I can break out of this trap is the day I regain my freedom.”
Qin Wushuang said leisurely, “Then at this moment, the defense mechanisms have been pulled out. Senior Brother, you are free.”
Qin Taichong said with caution, “Wushuang, you must not underestimate this enemy.”
Qin Wushuang remained calm and collected. With his big sleeves fluttering in the air, he stood in the high ground like a god descending to the earth.
As a burst of breeze brushed past, countless illusory images came from all directions in the sky. These illusory images kept congealing and overlapping on top of one another. Finally, it congealed into a spirit-like character that was as tall as thirty metres. Appearing to have a thoroughly fiery body, it stood before that high building. His entire body appeared higher than this restaurant.
This illusory image full of powerful vigor and imposing manner nurtured formidable fire element. Inwardly, Qin Wushuang also withdrew a breath of cold air.
As he was capable of unleashing a Supreme Dao fire attribute power to such extent and to congeal such a powerful spirit, this display of strength did not put him at the Fourth Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage in vain.
However, since Qin Wushuang was able to break this defense easily, of course he would not get intimidated by this spirit. He hugged his chest with both hands and showed a carefree expression.
Suddenly, he fixed his gaze and saw that a figure was hidden in between that blazing spirit. Clearly, this figure was the true body.
Hiding the real body within the spirit, indeed such divine skill was extremely unique.
“Disciple of the Qin Clan, Qin Wushuang?” Like bone-chilling infernal wind, this grim voice swept across from the opposite side.
Qin Wushuang said lightly, “Who are you?”
“Wushuang, this person is the number one envoy, Teng Yunchong who serves under the Great Bright City Lord,” Qin Taichong whispered next to Qin Wushuang’s ear.
Clearly, this guy who was also characterized by the name “Chong” gave Qin Taichong psychological intimidation.
“Teng Yunchong, ha ha, good name!” Qin Wushuang let out a straightforward laugh. “Smart people don’t beat around the bush, Great Envoy Teng. I, Qin Wushuang do not hide.”
As he said this, he raised the Graceful Spiritual Bow from his hand and said loudly, “Initially at the Endless Eastern Sea, all elite warriors from each Forbidden Spiritual Zone flocked for this.”
Urged by Qin Wushuang’s divine power, this Graceful Spiritual Bow triggered the presence of the earth and heavens. Instantly, it exhibited that form of engulfing power as if it were to swallow the earth and heavens.
The Graceful Spiritual Bow itself was not a normal good. Urged by Qin Wushuang’s momentum, it became even more formidable. Dispersing a pretty and flirtatious Supreme Dao presence, it seemed to cover all the lights in the surrounding area.
Even Teng Yunchong could not refrain from withdrawing a breath of cold air. He narrowed his eyes into a line and coldly said, “No wonder this is the number one divine bow in our world. Qin Wushuang, it seems that you are unbridled?”
Qin Wushuang said with a smile, “No, Envoy Teng, would you be interested to hear me out?”
Teng Yunchong gave a cold snort and said lightly, “If you want to rely on your glib tongue to persuade me to let go of your colleague, I advise you to keep your thoughts to yourself.”
“Ha ha… Ha ha ha!”
Qin Wushuang let out a loud laugh while facing the sky. This laughter dashed to the skies and soared with heroic spirit.
That Teng Yunchong felt somewhat unwell as he heard Qin Wushuang’s laughter. He asked strangely, “What are you laughing at?”
Qin Wushuang said seriously, “Although my Xuan Yuan Mound and the Heavenly Fire Southern Border live far apart from each other, in the world of martial arts, we do share the same understanding. In the first meeting, when a martial artist wants to persuade the other party, clearly it would not be as persuasive to use words than fists. I am not trying to persuade you to give up, but these are just some interesting suggestions.”
“Oh?” For the time, Teng Yunchong could not see through the depth of Qin Wushuang as he asked with a low voice, “What suggestions?”
“To put it simply, you and I will fight. If you win, I will give you my Graceful Spiritual Bow and the matching Shooting Sun Arrows!”
As soon as he initiated this suggestion, even Qin Taichong felt this was too great of a bargain. He could not refrain from pulling Qin Wushuang’s sleeve and reminding him, “Wushuang, you must not compete for strength with this person.”
Qin Wushuang waved his hand. “Senior Brother, I have my own proposition.”
For this suggestion, not only was Qin Taichong astonished, even Teng Yunchong could not help but to have urgent breathing. One must say that Qin Wushuang’s suggestion was full of attraction.
Upon seeing Teng Yunchong stay in silence, Qin Wushuang continued to speak, “Initially all those Supreme Dao elite warriors went to the Endless Eastern Sea to seize this treasure, despite a narrow escape. If you are saying that you are not moved, I will be ridiculing you for your hypocritical aspect in my mind. This is an opportunity that is placed before you for you to get it easily. As long as you can win, this treasure will be yours!”
In order to strengthen the persuasion, Qin Wushuang waved the Graceful Spiritual Bow again from his hand. In the night sky, the precious bow emitted resplendent yellow lights to appear even more dazzling to the eye.
Indeed, to not be moved would be hypocritical. Teng Yunchong was not a person that enjoyed to hide his true thoughts. Finally, a trace of fervent intention appeared in his eyes.
How could he not realize that since this Qin Wushuang issued the Graceful Spiritual Bow as a gambling stake, then certainly what he wanted would also be astonishing.
Whether Teng Yunchong could afford to give this stake, it was still an unknown quantity.
For the time being, worrying about personal gains and losses, Teng Yunchong was not in a rush to speak. After muttering to himself irresolutely, Teng Yunchong withdrew the look from Qin Wushuang’s face and said with a somewhat complicated tone, “You can afford to give the Graceful Spiritual Bow as a bargaining chip, but I cannot find an equal stake to match with yours. Let’s be straightforward! You and I will fight to the death, nothing succeeds like success! How about it?”
Qin Wushuang said with a cold sneer, “At your Great Bright City territory, when fighting a life and death battle with you, naturally it will be good if you win. If I kill you, how can I get out of this Great Bright City?”
Teng Yunchong gave a slight snort. “Then according to you, what should we do? First tell me what you want.”
“It’s simple, return my colleague you arrested at the Great Bright City prison. Within the Heavenly Fire Southern Border territory, the Great Bright City must not get tangled. This is the claim I am requesting.”
“This is it?” Teng Yunchong was dazed. Initially, he was prepared for the other party to ask for a great deal.
As soon as Qin Wushuang voiced his claim, he was rather shocked.
“Just this, are you finding it too little?” Qin Wushuang asked leisurely.
On the other hand, Teng Yunchong was hesitant. He felt that if the other party raised the claim, he would feel much more reassured. Since the other party asked for such a low requirement, he could not help but to think whether some fishy business was going on…
“Qin Wushuang, you are not using me as a pastime?” Teng Yunchong raised his eyebrow and asked with a glare.
“Envoy Teng, if you feel this is an unfair claim, you can bring out other good things you have to add to it. For unequal claims, I trust that you must harbor other treasures.”
Teng Yunchong said, “Good, I do have something good.”
After he said, Teng Yunchong flicked his sleeve and flung out a mixture of white and yellow light. This light erupted while facing the wind in the sky.
A giant golden tree emitted golden-bright and dazzling lights. It kept growing bigger.
“This is the Seven Jewel Golden Tree! It’s the best gold of the immemorial period and contains the immemorial origin of gold. To Supreme Dao martial artists with the gold attribute, the power of this golden tree would be unpredictable. Most martial artists at the Great Bright City have fire attributes. For myself, I do not have Supreme Dao talent of the gold attribute. Therefore, I will put this as the claim, what do you think?”
Qin Wushuang laughed. “However, the claims I asked for earlier must be honored as well.”
“That’s easy, just a prisoner. It’s a matter that can be achieved with just one word.”
Qin Wushuang asked with cold gaze, “Can the words of Envoy Teng be truthful?”
Teng Yunchong said angrily, “A promise must be kept. However, you must say of how to gamble, and how to count wins and losses? We must set these up.”
“This is simple, we will give each other a difficult problem. You can give me a difficult problem, and I will give you one. Whoever solves the difficult problem first, that person will win, how about it?”
Upon hearing his words, it was exactly what Teng Yunchong wanted. He was also worried that Qin Wushuang wanted to fight head-on. When facing an enemy with the Graceful Spiritual Bow and who also created countless miraculous stories, Teng Yunchong would be restraining his fear to some extent. He was having such restrained fear because he was an experienced and knowledgeable elite warrior and also because he emerged some extra assurance due to his instincts.
Although he was full of confidence, there were many at the Sixth or Seventh Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage who went to pursue Qin Wushuang at the Endless Eastern Sea. All of them fell and died at the foreign lands.
To Qin Wushuang who came out to the world again after ten years, Teng Yunchong truly did not dare to let down his guard. After all, the Graceful Spiritual Bow of that time had such an illustrious and celebrated fame!
In between shouting, Qin Wushuang did not slow down. Flipping both wings, a burst of purple light slashed across the night horizon like resplendent meteors.
Plundering with his body, he had already made it to the high platform where Qin Taichong was located.
