69: Chapter 69 White Jade as a Bet

"Insolent! Since when did Ouyang Yunyan become your woman?"

Ouyang Qingyun roared angrily.

The Qi around him surged suddenly, and a flash of spiritual light appeared in his palm.

A large blade with a cold, piercing light was already in his hand.

Xiang Tian frowned deeply.

The jade talisman that You Lingqing had given him suddenly began to flicker with a faint light.

This blade is definitely no ordinary item!

"Senior, an aura related to your enemy has appeared!" He dared not delay.

He hurriedly called out to the You Lingqing Clone in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Hmm, I see it." You Lingqing slowly stood up from the recliner deep within his Sea of Consciousness.

Her gaze pierced through the Sea of Consciousness and landed on that large blade.

"That is the Demon Blood Blade. However... this is merely a counterfeit, retaining only a trace of that woman's aura."

Her gaze swept across the blade, her tone flat and calm.

"Senior, even if it is a counterfeit, it is certainly not something I can handle at my current stage!" Xiang Tian's heart sank.

As for the others in the Ouyang Family, he and Bai Yu could still defeat them one by one.

But Ouyang Qingyun, holding such a Magic Treasure, was undoubtedly a tough nut to crack.

While Xiang Tian was secretly shocked.

The others in the arena also wore expressions of astonishment.

"Qingyun, where did you get this blade?" Ouyang Yunguang stared fixedly at the large blade.

Ouyang Yunyan subconsciously stepped back a few paces, her brows tightly furrowed.

The cold aura radiating from the blade made her feel inexplicably palpitating and uncomfortable.

"Today, I will let this blade finish you two, master and servant!" Ouyang Qingyun lunged forward.

"Careful!" Xiang Tian reacted quickly, grabbing Bai Yu by the waist and retreating several paces with her.

"Boom!" The large blade slammed into the ground.

The arena, already riddled with cracks, instantly exploded. The crater expanded, gravel flew, and dust filled the air.

"This blade is extremely powerful; Bai Yu, your fox tail cannot block it." Xiang Tian frowned, his tone solemn.

"Master, this blade's presence is overwhelming; I am extremely repulsed by the evil aura on it." Bai Yu frowned as well.

"I feel the same." Xiang Tian nodded in agreement.

No sooner had they finished speaking than the surrounding Ouyang Family members took the opportunity to close in.

"Brothers, with Qingyun leading the charge, taking down this pair of master and servant is only a matter of time!"

"That's right, charge! We cannot let outsiders look down on our Ouyang Family!"

"Kill! Win glory for the Ouyang Family!"

"..." A group of Ouyang Family members swarmed forward, but Ouyang Yunyan did not follow. Instead, she quietly retreated to the edge of the arena.

"Xiang Tian, you and Bai Yu, master and servant, are truly impressive." Ouyang Yunguang smiled.

"But now that we have Qingyun's large blade, this fox's tail will be of no use, right!"

He paused, then added, "However, even if you lose, I still respect you as a man."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands toward Xiang Tian in a salute.

His tone became increasingly firm. "But the honor of the Ouyang Family must not be easily trampled."

In any case, Xiang Tian must not win this competition today.

In this conflict, the Ouyang Family had already given others the excuse that they were bullying the few with the many; regardless of the outcome, it was not glorious.

But if they could win, they would at least lose less face.

As he finished speaking, Ouyang Yunguang moved, circling around from the other side to outflank Xiang Tian, forming a pincer attack with Ouyang Qingyun.

"Master, what should we do?" Bai Yu asked anxiously.

Her fox tail could not provide constant defense for Xiang Tian, and they were now in a passive position.

Furthermore, although Xiang Tian was fast, his Physical Body was extremely fragile. Once a Move missed, he would easily be countered.

"Senior, how can this situation be broken?" Xiang Tian hurriedly sought help from You Lingqing in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Does your children's game of a competition really require me to take action?" You Lingqing waved her hand.

After recognizing that it was a counterfeit, she had long since lain back down on the recliner, looking unconcerned.

"Senior, you cannot just stand by and watch me die! If I die, who will help you complete your task?" Xiang Tian's face fell.

"Kid, this is a competition, not a life-and-death struggle. You just need to win; there is no need to fight to the death." You Lingqing's voice came faintly.

Hearing this, Xiang Tian touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

A moment later, a glint flashed in his eyes.

This counterfeit Demon Blood Blade would be extremely useful to him at his current stage. If he could win it, that would be even better.

"Ouyang Qingyun, I want to make a bet with you." Xiang Tian spoke up.

Ouyang Qingyun's self-confidence was inflated to the extreme at this moment. Hearing this, he stopped and sneered, "Oh? What do you want to bet?"

"I think your blade is quite good." Xiang Tian's gaze remained locked on the large blade in Ouyang Qingyun's hand.

He said bluntly, "If I win this competition, you must give me this blade."

"Heh, so you were aiming for my large blade." Ouyang Qingyun realized.

A lewd glint then flashed in his eyes, and his gaze fell upon Bai Yu. He was naturally lecherous.

A stunning fox demon like Bai Yu had long made him drool with desire.

"I can agree to that, but what are you wagering against me?" He paused, then stated his condition, "If you lose, give me this fox. How about it?"

"You want to target Bai Yu?" Xiang Tian's brows tightened instantly.

At this moment, he truly could not produce a wager of equal value to this large blade.

"Master, are you really going to use me as a wager?" Bai Yu's nose twitched, her eyes reddening. She looked as if she were on the verge of tears.

"Smooch!" Xiang Tian said nothing, lowered his head, and gently kissed Bai Yu on her little lips.

"Woo... Master finally kissed me of his own accord!" Bai Yu instantly broke into a smile, her little face flushed red.

She volunteered, "I am willing to be the wager! I believe Master will definitely not lose me to anyone else!"

Looking at Bai Yu, Xiang Tian inexplicably felt like a wicked uncle abducting a little girl.

He coughed lightly and promised, "Bai Yu, as long as you help me get through this, I will hold you while I sleep in the future."

With such a sweet promise, Bai Yu was overjoyed. She nearly jumped up and kissed Xiang Tian on the cheek. "Smooch!"

"Enough, you two! Have you reached a decision?" Ouyang Qingyun watched, burning with rage, his face flushed red.

In his eyes, Bai Yu was already within his grasp. The intimate actions of this master and servant pair made him feel extremely disgusted.

"I agree. Let Bai Yu be the wager." Xiang Tian stepped forward, facing Ouyang Qingyun with a firm gaze.

"Haha! Good!" Ouyang Qingyun was overjoyed and laughed loudly.

A spiritual pet like Bai Yu, who could both attend to him in bed and fight, was exactly what he had been dreaming of.

"Ahem! To show fairness, we shall fight one-on-one!" Ouyang Qingyun was in high spirits; he coughed twice and said, feigning generosity.

Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow, secretly delighted. He had just been worrying about not finding an opportunity for a one-on-one fight!

"Since you are so sincere, I will gladly accept." Xiang Tian agreed, but his mind was racing.

He was thinking about how to manufacture a reversal that would stun everyone and dispel the vigilance of the bystanders.

"Very well, then let us begin!" Ouyang Qingyun held the large blade, staring at Xiang Tian with cold eyes.

In his view, Xiang Tian was no match for him to begin with. Now, with the large blade to bolster him, his opponent was even more vulnerable, like an ant.

"Flying Sword!" Xiang Tian initiated the attack, and the Nine Short Swords flew out in response.

They moved at his will, carrying a sharp edge as they thrust directly at Ouyang Qingyun. These Nine Short Swords were comparable to his Lifebound Treasure and were one of his most powerful killing Moves.

"Clang!" Amidst the shrill sound of metal colliding, the Nine Short Swords were all blocked by a single slash from Ouyang Qingyun, and the Sword Qi dissipated.

"Is that all?" Ouyang Qingyun shook his head disdainfully.

Xiang Tian's heart sank. He had not expected the gap in strength between them to be so vast!

As soon as his Nine Short Swords touched the opponent's Saber Qi, they transformed into specks of spiritual light and dissipated.

"Phoenix Slash!" With no time to think, Xiang Tian condensed flames at his fingertips. A huge, crescent-shaped flame suddenly formed and slashed toward Ouyang Qingyun.

Ouyang Qingyun merely glanced at it and swung the large blade in his hand. A jet-black streak of Saber Qi tore through the air, heading straight toward the crescent of flame.

The black and red energy instantly intertwined and collided, erupting with a deafening roar.
