But he was gambling. He was gambling that Bai Qi wouldn't let him die, because he might be the only remaining candidate for the Lord of War to possess someone else's body. If Bai Qi died, then the Lord of War would be finished.
"Seven Killings - Fate!"
Bai Qi's spear pierced Jiang Yuan's shoulder blade, pinning him to the ground in a single move. He casually picked up the Earth Sigh, then chuckled with an air of ecstasy, "Honestly, you don't deserve such a treasure!"
"I never wanted it!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile, showing no fear in the face of danger.
"No, you want to!" Bai Qi's eyes sharpened. He wouldn't allow his thousands of years of effort to be worthless in the eyes of others.
"It's you who want me to have it, not me who wants it! And frankly, I wouldn't stoop to using a treasure obtained through dirty means!" Jiang Yuan said arrogantly.
"Filthy!" Bai Qi's soul fire trembled, proving his inner turmoil. He suddenly looked up. "Since it's filthy, then I, Bai Qi, will no longer force you. Anyway, you have no right to do so!"
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Yuan waited with great interest, showing no awareness of becoming a prisoner.
"I want to show Lord Bing that someone like you is not worthy of his high hopes!"

The earth trembled violently, and the next second Jiang Yuan's entire soul was sucked in, as if the earth was trying to refine him.
"If you're not up to the task, I'd rather keep waiting than let you ruin the whole plan!" Bai Qi's eyes slowly filled with killing intent and disdain.
"Yeah?"
Jiang Yuan's expression was contorted. The effects of the Soul-Stabilizing Pill had worn off, and the deathly aura of the undead in the entire underground palace began to tear at his body. Meanwhile, the Sigh of the Earth, under Bai Qi's control, was also about to devour him.
On the surface, he seemed to have no other way out!
but!
"If I told you I came here with a death wish, would you believe me?"
These extremely calm words came from Jiang Yuan's mouth, words that were not at all like those of a person who was about to die!
Bai Qi looked puzzled, and a sense of unease crept into his heart.
