Meng Xingchen clearly enjoyed watching the drama unfold.
The Chaos Heavenly Spirit Pill in his hand emitted a dazzling light, as if it were projected from a mysterious ancient land, carrying an extraordinary aura.
Just by looking at it, you can tell that this is a top-grade elixir.
Everyone present turned their gaze to the pill, their eyes filled with greed.
If one could obtain such a pill, the chances of reaching the Nascent Soul stage would be greatly increased. A sect can only produce one Nascent Soul stage cultivator to ensure its survival for a thousand years.
This shows just how precious this elixir is!
"Unfortunately, the people Meng Xingchen brought are very powerful, far beyond what these younger disciples can handle."
“He was prepared all along; he used this elixir as bait to win what he wanted.”
The elders of the various sects were whispering among themselves. Not only the sect leader of Huayang, but also the others did not have a high opinion of Bai Ying.
Bai Ying looked at Meng Xingchen and said coldly, "If I lose, what should I give you?"
Meng Xingchen looked at her with interest, scrutinizing her from head to toe. After a while, he said, "Your spiritual root seems quite good. If you lose, how about I ask you to dig out your spiritual root and give it to me?"
As soon as Meng Xingchen said that, everyone present changed their expression.
This person truly lives up to his title of Demon Lord; even the stakes he proposes are terrifying!
If it were them, they definitely wouldn't even know how to gamble anymore.
After all, no one is unaware of what spiritual roots mean to cultivators.
All cultivation is based on spiritual roots. If a cultivator loses his spiritual roots, he is no different from a cripple.
"Boss, you can't gamble!"
Lin Yizhi couldn't help but shout it out to Bai Ying.
"Meng Xingchen must be certain you'll lose, that's why he's betting with you. If you bet with him, your spiritual root will definitely lose to him. You'll become a cripple!"
Lin Yizhi's words reflected the thoughts of many people present.
They could accept betting on secret manuals, but betting on spiritual roots was absolutely unacceptable!
But Bai Ying suddenly raised her head and smiled at Meng Xingchen:
"OK!"
Just two words changed the expression of everyone present.
Several elders shook their heads repeatedly.
"This Bai Ying is really crazy!"
"She's really too arrogant! Who does she think she's dealing with? That's a cultivator handpicked by the demon race! How can she make such a bet with someone like that?"
"She doesn't understand the demon race, and she doesn't understand herself! She'll behave herself once she loses the challenge and the demons dig out her spiritual root."
The sect leader of Huayang Sect even revealed a hint of contempt in his smile.
He had previously thought highly of Bai Ying and even considered arranging a marriage between his son, Lin Yizhi, and Bai Ying. Now, it seems Bai Ying is so ungrateful; let her go if she wants.
Once her spiritual roots were removed and she became a cripple, she would realize how wrong she had been.
He even secretly hoped that Bai Ying's spiritual root would be removed.
It's better to cripple a genius who leaves a sect!
Bai Ying ignored what these people were thinking and directly drew her sword.
Shadow Blade also drew his sword towards Bai Ying. He was extremely fast, and seemed much more serious than when he dealt with Ruan Xinrou.
Unfortunately, Bai Ying was not Ruan Xinrou; she couldn't even touch her before Bai Ying dodged the attack.
She vanished in a flash.
Shadow Blade stared blankly as the person in front of him suddenly vanished. In that instant, Bai Ying's longsword appeared from behind him. Shadow Blade tried to dodge, but it was too late; Bai Ying slashed his arm, drawing blood.
Crimson blood slowly dripped from his arm. Shadow Blade clearly hadn't expected to be injured so soon after the match had even begun. In an instant, his aura surged like a raging tide. His figure shifted like a ghost, his previously frail body suddenly becoming incredibly strong. He suddenly threw a punch, smashing it fiercely towards Bai Ying. A tremendous force surged forth, like a tidal wave, terrifying to behold.
However, Bai Ying didn't even try to dodge. She lightly raised her sword and swung it downwards, the longsword in her hand flying like a nimble silver snake. As the blade flashed, she then forcefully slashed forward, the powerful force tearing through the void. Terrifying black gas continuously overflowed from the void, as if an invisible giant hand was tightly grasping everything around it and then tearing it apart.
"This... is this the Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Piercing Slash?"
Someone shouted something.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Ying.
"My God, is this move really that terrifying?"
The spiritual energy of that sword strike was terrifyingly powerful. Even after the attack was over, one could feel the terrifyingly malevolent aura emanating from the void torn apart by the sword. It was an aura that clearly shouldn't exist in this world.
This is on a completely different level from the weak and feeble move that Ruan Xinrou used before!
That's incredibly powerful.
Only then did everyone understand why the Grand Elder of Huayang Sect had previously concluded that Ruan Xinrou was the number one among the younger generation simply because she had used this move.
Unfortunately, Huayang Sect made a mistake. They sent that imposter, Ruan Xinrou, to perform, which led many in the audience to believe that the Lingxi Breaking Void Slash was nothing special.
But no one expected that Bai Ying's move would be so shocking!
Everyone's eyes turned to Ruan Xinrou again, their expressions becoming strange once more.
