Chapter 2371: Departing Sword Sage (2/2)
The Departing Sword Sage’s face darkened at the drop of a hat, “Little guy, do you think that someone of my status would lower myself and make a bet with you? You are a Seventh Order Venerable. What qualifies you to make a bet with me? Why should I agree to bet with you?”
Huang Xiaolong didn’t say a word but took out the holy herbs he had collected earlier from the Darkness Holy Ring.
“Nephrite Fruit!”
“Purple Yang Vine!”
“Exquisite Liquid!”
Watching several holy herbs being taken out from Huang Xiaolong’s spatial ring one after another, as they hovered in the air around Huang Xiaolong, the Departing Sword Sage was astounded!
“...You!” He wanted to ask why Huang Xiaolong had so many holy herbs.
Huang Xiaolong went on, “As long as you’re willing to make a bet and successfully kill me, these holy herbs are yours.”
The Departing Sword Sage snickered coldly, “I’ll kill you now, these holy herbs are mine just the same.” Vast divine might surged out from his body, suppressing Huang Xiaolong.
But right at this time, an ancient talisman appeared above Huang Xiaolong’s head, and it completely fended off Departing Sword Sage Wu Wo’s coercion.
“Holy grade Inextinguishable Talisman!” The Departing Sword Sage Wu Wo was astonished.
“Correct, a holy grade Inextinguishable Talisman.” Huang Xiaolong confirmed calmly as he took out several other ancient talismans.
“Escape Talisman!”
“Sealing Talisman!”
“Heart Demon Talisman!”
All of them were holy grade talismans!
The Departing Sword Sage’s eyes were close to falling out from their sockets to the ground.
These holy grade talismans took a lot of effort to produce. Not to mention that the materials required were hard to find and many holy grounds’ True Saints did not have one in their possession, but Huang Xiaolong actually took several talismans in one go.
“Apart from the four ancient talismans, I still have over twenty talismans!” Huang Xiaolong generously informed Wu Wo, “How about it? Do you still think you can kill me?”
“There, there are another twenty-plus!” The Departing Sword Sage’s heart was about to flatline. He almost stuttered, “You, these ancient talismans, where did you get them?!”
“My luck was good. I found the treasury of a talisman refining sect.”Huang Xiaolong ad-libbed without any pressure, “So, what do you think? Will you bet with me that if you successfully kill me, not only these holy herbs are yours, even all the ancient talismans I have, all saint artifacts, and other treasures will belong to you!”
“Wait, wait, wait!” The Departing Sword Sage’s eyes were as wide as they could be as he spoke, “You, what did you say just now? All your saint artifacts? You have more than one saint artifact?!” He was suddenly hit by a bout of depression. He discovered that he was actually poorer than the little Seventh Order Venerable brat in front of him. No, he had been living in penury!
“That’s right, I have three saint artifacts!” Huang Xiaolong nodded, flashing the Departing Sword Saint a brilliant smile as he added. “Come on, make a bet with me, as long as you can kill me, all my things are yours, but if you fail, you’re my subordinate!”
Looking at the smile on Huang Xiaolong’s face, the Departing Sword Sage sensed slyness, sly as a fox! Crafty!
But looking at the eleven kinds of holy herbs, those holy grade ancient talismans, and the three saint artifacts Huang Xiaolong had mentioned, his heart was, oh, so tempted....
“You are absolutely certain, you won’t use these holy grade ancient talismans or your three saint artifacts?” The Departing Sword Sage asked, looking at Huang Xiaolong with dubious eyes.
“Absolutely certain, and we can swear on it.” Huang Xiaolong’s smile widened slightly
“You cannot use any other treasures you have as well?” The Departing Sword Sage added another concern.
“En.” Huang Xiaolong’s smile widened even more, “None of my treasures will be used.”
