Chapter 487: Chapter 454: Gambling Duel_1

“Friend Lu, you have a knack for scheming,” Xu Mu casually remarked.

Lu Jingkong probably noticed that he was handicapped, but considering he held the Sky-splitting Halberd, she assumed victory was certain.

Her comments were designed to goad Xu Mu into a trap.

“If you don’t dare to go, let it be. Just never mention this weapon again,” Lu Jingkong said with a smirk.

As for a way out, she was untroubled because if Xu Mu could leave by himself, he would have done so already. Since he hadn’t, it was highly likely he faced difficult circumstances. Even without asking, Xu Mu would soon reveal the way out.

Worse comes to worst, she could trace his escape routes to find a clue.

In the worst-case scenario, she could resort to force.

Having been here for decades, she had completely mastered this world’s system of cultivation. With the True Blood obtained from Kun Peng’s treasury, her strength was unrivalled, even by her own from the Cultivation Realm. With the Sky-splitting Halberd at her aid, Xu Mu stood no chance against her.

“Elder Brother Mu, don’t agree to her terms! This must be a trick!” Yue urged in panic.

“No worries.”

Xu Mu shook his head.

In fact, since discovering Lu Jingkong wielding the Sky-splitting Halberd, a clash between the two was inevitable. It just happened to be provoked by Lu Jingkong this time.

“Since you wish to test our mettle, I am more than happy to oblige. However, one more condition is required,” Xu Mu said.

“And what may that condition be?”

“If I win, not only will you return the Sky-splitting Halberd to me, but you’ll also obey my commands before we leave this place.”

“If we are to bargain this way, I would be at a disadvantage. I would need to add more to the stakes,” Lu Jingkong laughed.

“And what might you want to add?”

“This little girl must agree to serve as my maid,” Lu Jingkong said with a grin.

Xu Mu frowned.

He could not make decisions for others.

Moreover, Lu Jingkong was obviously teasing.

“In your dreams! I will not be your servant!” Yue fiercely retorted.

Before her arrival, she was already full of antagonism towards Lu Jingkong. Now that their rivalry was out in the open, she didn’t bother to hide her loathing.

“So you don’t believe your Elder Brother Mu can win?”

“I, I…”

With her mouth agape, Yue struggled to reply.

Because no matter what she could say, nothing she said would be correct.

“Friend Lu, stop teasing the child. I believe that the stakes are not high enough. Upon leaving, I will give you some Xuan Yang Holy Water,” Xu Mu said.

“Then we have an agreement.”

While Lu Jingkong has never stepped foot in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, she had heard much about it. Especially the mysterious Xuan Yang Holy Water, which she yearned for.

As for Yue, Lu Jingkong only wanted to accept her because she saw potential in the girl.

However, compared to the Xuan Yang Holy Water that could help her breakthrough, the water was more valuable.

“I, I am willing, but brother, don’t agree to her terms, I am sure you can win,” Yue said hastily.

“Since you believe in me, don’t worry! Just stay here and be safe!” Xu Mu reassured, ruffling her hair before diving into the Martial God abyss.

Lu Jingkong quickly followed suit.
