339 A Difficult Nemesis (1/2)

Chapter 339: A Difficult Nemesis

Although rock cakes were a famous delicacy in China, it was just a dessert, costing a thousand bucks for one slice. However, the youth immediately offered a hundred thousand and later added it to a million himself.

Others would be bewildered if they were to hear him offer a million for a slice of rock cake and exclaim the phrase, ‘having money makes you capricious!”

Of course, that was the case if it were really a rock cake.

Shi Xiaobai felt somewhat helpless. This was clearly not the rock cake the youth was thinking of. It was just a rock, a random piece of rock that could be found anywhere on the ground, an ordinary rock that could be easily picked up from the ground.

Was he trying to scam himself by paying a million bucks to buy a crappy piece of rock for eating?

“This is really a piece of rock.”

Shi Xiaobai struggled internally and finally shook his head to reject the youth’s offer. While doing so, he swallowed the remaining rock in his hand, and out of habit, took out another rock from his pocket and took another mouthful, looking jubilant in the process.

The youth’s face immediately turned black.

Hey, you are eating it so sumptuously while mentioning that it’s just a piece of rock, are you treating me for a fool?

“It seems as if you do not believe that I have a million bucks, nor do you believe that I will use a million bucks to buy a slice of rock cake. Fine, I will snatch a rock cake from your pocket and stuff a million into it!”

The youth’s eyes turned slightly cold.

Who would believe it if he were to tell others that he could not buy a slice of rock cake with a million?

In that case, he could only be oppressive and forcefully ‘buy’ it from him.

With his strength, snatching a few slices of cake would have been an easy task, something he took for granted. He had already done enough to offer a million bucks to buy the cake.

As for the reason why he would use a million to buy a slice of rock cake? It was because he had a craving for rock cake. As such, the rock cake was worth a million.

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaobai was delighted instead of turning furious. He said, “Perfect, This King happens to have something to snatch from you as well!”

Shi Xiaobai had been coveting the stone dragon for a very long while, but he was unsure of the trigger for casus belli. Now, his ‘robbery’ was justified!

The youth chuckled and said, “Fine, then let’s fight. If you can win, you can take anything from me, including my life. If I were to win, it wouldn’t be as simple as taking a slice of rock cake from you!”

Shi Xiaobai’s eyes turned slightly austere. He never expected the youth to instantly escalate the matter to a life-and-death battle. This person was a little odd.

However, Shi Xiaobai naturally wasn’t afraid as he immediately summoned the black sword. Most of the time, strength was much more useful than reason.

“Using a sword in front of me?”

The youth scoffed as his eyes flashed a silver beam. A black sword appeared out of nowhere in his hand!

Shi Xiaobai’s pupils constricted slightly. This black sword was identical to the black sword in his hand!

The next moment, golden points of light began emerging out of the ground as it slowly gathered towards the youth’s body, giving his body a golden luster.

This was the power of Shi Xiaobai’s Sword Truth—Excalibur!

Mimicry?

Shi Xiaobai was slightly surprised. The sword intent emanated by the youth was not as simple as imitation!

“Take that!”

Without waiting any longer or grapple over who should attack first, the youth slashed right at Shi Xiaobai!

Golden sword beams burst out forcefully!

Shi Xiaobai pricked his eyebrows up slightly. He activated his Sword Truth as well, producing a golden sword beam that was hardly any different from the one it was meeting!

“Boom!”

The two golden sword beams collided and shattered.

“Bang!”

As the golden sword beams shattered, two translucent sword beams shot straight out like a cicada casting off its skin. Once again, they collided with a boom and shattered!

The scene looked like it was a mirrored reflection.

“Take another strike of mine!”
