Gu Yan swallowed hard, cold sweat dripping down his face. Before he could speak, Ping'er flicked her wrist and a golden longsword appeared in her hand.
Gu Yan was so frightened that he bit his tongue. "This, this is again..."
"This sword is named Primordial Era! It was forged from the spirit stones that cleaved the heavens and earth, and it's also a low-grade divine artifact!" Ping'er said, playing with the Primordial Era sword. "I'm using a low-grade divine artifact to fight you, is that considered bullying you? After all, I still have a few mid-grade divine artifacts I haven't used yet!"
Just as Ping'er took out the Dragon Scale Armor, Gu Yan had already lost his previous arrogance. Even with Jiu Chen in hand, he was afraid that his Ming Yang Sword would not be able to break through the defense of the Dragon Scale Armor.
For the first time, Gu Yan felt a sense of defeat. He sighed and said, "I lost. I... I admit defeat!"
Hearing Gu Yan's words, Ping'er sneered, "You're the one who can't convince me, and you're the one who can persuade me, so why should I?"
Gu Yan was taken aback. "What else do you want?"
"If you're a demon, you should act like one. You're pathetic for giving up before even revealing your true form!" Ping'er held her sword and swung it lightly. The crimson cloak behind her transformed into a striking red cloak, making her look incredibly dashing.
Ping'er pointed her sword at Gu Yan and said coldly, "I'm telling you this: if you don't defeat me today, even if you know when darkness will fall, you won't be able to stop it!"
Gu Yan shuddered, looked at Ping'er's provocative face, gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, let me experience it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yan sheathed Mingyang Sword and released Jiu Chen. Jiu Chen transformed back into a nine-petaled lotus flower, swirling around Gu Yan.
Gu Yan looked at Ping'er, took a deep breath, and said, "You make a bet with me, and I'll make a bet with you too!"
Ping'er smiled and said, "Okay! You say it!"
"If you defeat me, everything in Thousand Absolute Mountain will be yours, including the divine artifact you desire!" Gu Yan declared.
“Fine! So what if I lose?” Ping’er asked.
"If you lose, you must tell me your identity!" Gu Yan looked smug, as if he had succeeded in his scheme.
Ping'er squinted at Gu Yan and said, "Aren't you afraid of getting yourself killed if you investigate my background?"
“My life or death is not in the bet, you don’t need to care about me!” Gu Yan said.
Ping'er sneered, "Fine! I'll bet with you! I can add another clause: if you beat me, I'll not only let you know where I came from, but I'll also make you stronger, even stronger than me!"
"Good! A gentleman's word is his bond!" Gu Yan laughed heartily.
"A promise is a promise!" Ping'er said with a grin.
