Gu Yuan pulled out a black scroll, which was the Divine Demon Meteorite he had purchased at the auction. He continued, "Other than that, I don't have anything valuable on me. How about this? If I lose, I'll give you my life, how about that?"
When Gu Yuan said this, Gu Ting, who was standing beside him, changed her expression and tried to grab Gu Yuan to stop him, but Gu Yuan shook her off. He gave Gu Ting a reassuring look, then looked at Mu Tianxing and asked, "How is it?"
Mu Tianxing looked at Gu Yuan with a hint of disdain. He looked at Gu Yuan and asked, "Boy, do you think your life is worth more than these tens of thousands of spiritual herbs?"
Gu Yuan nodded and said, "For me, my life is naturally invaluable. Compared to these tens of thousands of spiritual herbs, let alone tens of thousands of spiritual herbs, even hundreds of thousands of spiritual herbs are not as valuable as my life. Of course, for you, Young Master Mu Tianxing, my life is naturally not worth tens of thousands of spiritual herbs. But regardless of whether it is worth it or not, I can only say that this is all I can offer. No money, but a life. If Young Master Mu Tianxing is interested, then I don't mind using my life as a bet with you. Of course, if Young Master Mu Tianxing minds, then what we just said will be invalidated immediately. In short, the most valuable thing I can offer is my life. If I lose to you, I will stand here and give you my life."
Mu Tianxing sneered and said, "Boy, have you forgotten something? If I want to kill you, I will just attack you directly. How can you escape? To me, you are just a piece of fish on the chopping board, at my mercy! If I want to kill you, why do I need to make a bet with you? Doesn't it mean that you can't leave here just by hitting me?"
Gu Yuan sneered, "Really? Then Master Mu Tianxing, you can give it a try. If you can kill me and remove the obstacle in your heart, then I don't mind. How about it?"
Hearing Gu Yuan say this, Mu Tianxing's expression indeed became uncomfortable.
Although what Mu Tianxing said made sense, Gu Yuan knew that the last competition had planted a shadow in Mu Tianxing's heart and had become a psychological barrier for Mu Tianxing. As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. If he wanted to break this barrier, he had to let Mu Tianxing defeat him in the same way.
Although the form is similar to directly attacking himself, the result is different for Mu Tianxing.
So in this regard, Gu Yuan has the absolute initiative and Mu Tianxing has no say.
As expected, Mu Tianxing could only nod and said, "Very good, you are very good. Since you are willing to bet your life with me, then I will temporarily agree. Now your strength is probably no longer a seventh-level spiritual master, but a ninth-level spiritual master, right?"
Mu Tianxing was shocked when he saw Gu Yuan's strength. After all, the last time they met, Gu Yuan was still a seventh-level spiritual master. But just now, when Mu Tianxing felt Gu Yuan's breath, he suddenly discovered that he was already a ninth-level spiritual master, which shocked him.
"Boy, you are now a ninth-level spiritual master. I am indeed a little surprised by your upgrade speed. But it doesn't matter. Since you are a ninth-level spiritual master, I will suppress my strength to the same level as you."
Gu Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, my current strength is that of a ninth-level spiritual master. Master Mu Tianxing should also suppress his strength to the ninth-level spiritual master, but never to the seventh-level spiritual master, otherwise Master Mu Tianxing will not be a match for me. After all, my strength has increased by two levels now, and I am no longer the same person I was a while ago."
Mu Tianxing sneered, "You're incredibly confident. You don't really think you're invincible just because you defeated me last time, do you? I simply underestimated you and didn't have the chance to demonstrate my abilities. This time, I'm going to make you lose completely, so you can truly see what kind of person you are!"
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Since Young Master Mu Tianxing is so confident, then please invite him over. I want to see if he is really as powerful as he says he is."
Gu Ting stood aside and watched the conversation between Gu Yuan and Mu Tianxing. The conversation between the two had gradually become tense, and the whole situation seemed a little dangerous.
Mu Tianxing's father, the Mu family's chief elder, stood beside him and said, "This kid has actually advanced two levels in just a short period of time. It seems that his strength should not be underestimated. Tianxing, although you are at the level of a fourth-level Spirit Master, you must be careful. A lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit, let alone this matter involving tens of thousands of spiritual herbs. I have finally used my authority and my position as the chief elder to guarantee these spiritual herbs for you. You must not make any mistakes. Correct your attitude and do not underestimate him just because he is a ninth-level Spirit Master who has not yet reached the Spirit Master realm! Your contempt last time caused you to suffer a crushing defeat and cast a shadow in your heart. If you lose to him again this time, your future cultivation may stagnate! You have been under this person's shadow for a long time. I hope you can understand the seriousness of the matter. Show your attitude to me completely and do not underestimate him just because he is less powerful than you. Do you understand?"
The tone of the Mu family's eldest elder was very stern.
Mu Tianxing's expression gradually became solemn, and the look he gave Gu Yuan was no longer contemptuous like last time, but a genuine attitude of facing him.
He looked at Gu Yuan and said, "In that case, I will suppress my realm to the ninth level of spiritual master. This time, I want to see if you can still defeat me."
Mu Tianxing made a few hand gestures, and Gu Yuan watched as his strength plummeted from a fourth-level Spirit Master to a ninth-level Spiritual Master. He glanced at Gu Yuan and said, "Since the bet is settled, let's fight! Right here, I'll show everyone you're just a mere Spiritual Master. I'll see you suffer a crushing defeat before our Mu family. Let everyone here witness your miserable state."
Gu Yuan smiled, not caring at all. He simply activated the spiritual energy in his hands, and the red flames on his body covered his entire body with a puff.
The Mu family's elder beside Mu Tianxing fixed his gaze on the red flames on Gu Yuan, and was quite moved.
This kid actually also has a demonic fire!
At the moment when the red flame appeared on Gu Yuan's body, the eldest elder of the Mu family also had a similar feeling, as if he was attracted by the red flame on Gu Yuan Mountain. This was because the eldest elder of the Mu family had once refined a kind of demonic fire, and this caused a resonance between the demonic fires.
