Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16168 The Gamble (Part Two)

Sang Mufeng returned to the Temple of Creation, where the members of the Creation Cult were waiting for him. They were prepared for battle; if Sang Mufeng hadn't come out, they were ready to rush in to rescue him. Now that they saw him emerge, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Sang Mufeng glanced at them and then said, "The Myriad Laws Cult has proposed a wager with us. The winner stays, and the loser leaves Beast Town City. I agree. We will decide the method of the wager. You can discuss it and see what method is most suitable for us to wager with them. I will report this matter to the cult now."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard him say that. Then they all responded. Sang Mufeng nodded and went straight back to his room. As soon as he got back, he took out a jade slip and wrote down everything that had happened that day. Then he used a teleportation array to send the jade slip out.

He then sat in his room and waited. Soon, a jade slip appeared on the communication array. He immediately picked it up and glanced at its contents. After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief because the sect had agreed to his decision. In other words, the Creation God Sect had also agreed to the duel. As for the method of the duel, the Creation God Sect had given them a direct order: ten of their kingdom-level experts would fight. If all of them lost or died, then the other side would be considered the winner, and the Creation God Sect would accept it. If they won, the other side would be kicked out of the Beast Suppression City. Therefore, they agreed to the duel.

After putting away the jade slip, Sang Mufeng stood up and walked outside. Soon he arrived at the conference room outside. As soon as he entered, he saw everyone discussing the upcoming bet. He coughed lightly, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him.

Sang Mufeng glanced at everyone and then said, "The sect has just agreed to this duel. The method of the duel is very simple: ten of us, the kingdom-level experts, will fight. It's a life-or-death battle. If we win, they will be kicked out of the city without any further excuses. Conversely, we will also lose. So everyone, go back and rest. Tomorrow I will send someone to tell the Wanfa Divine Sect the method of the duel, and we'll see if they agree."

Upon hearing Sang Mufeng's words, no one said anything more. They bowed to Sang Mufeng and then went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, Sang Mufeng sent someone directly to the Wanfa Divine Sect to confirm the method of the duel. The Wanfa Divine Sect immediately agreed and then informed Yu Changkong of the news. Yu Changkong was the witness, so the outcome of the duel would be determined by Yu Changkong.

Yu Changkong, of course, did not object. He agreed immediately, and they even set a time. Three days later, the duel would officially begin, and the location would be a small valley outside the city.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Yu Changkong led a team of soldiers to the valley. He brought only one hundred soldiers this time, but all one hundred of them were fully armored and armed. These one hundred men were the elite of the army.

Yu Changkong brought these people here to make his stance clear to the Creation God Sect. Of course, from the perspective of the Creation God Sect, he was trying to show his attitude to both sides.

When Yu Changkong arrived at the valley, the people from the Creation God Sect and the Myriad Laws God Sect had also arrived. The people from the Myriad Laws God Sect were all wearing robes of different colors, but their aura was extraordinary.

On the other side, the people of the Creation God Cult were the same; they were all dressed in uniform clothes, making them look even more extraordinary. The leader of the Creation God Cult was Sang Mufeng, while the leader of the Myriad Laws God Cult was Xu Ying.

The two sides stood facing each other across the sky on either side of the valley, with Yu Changkong standing between them. He glanced at both sides and, without saying much, directly said, "You set the rules yourselves. Each side will send ten people, and the loser will withdraw from Beast Town City. But I must ask you again, is this bet a duel-style or a contest-style?"

The battle system is actually quite simple: each side sends one person to fight one round, and after the winner is determined, both sides step down. The defending system is even simpler: after you go up, if you win, you can choose to defend the title and continue fighting. This can result in one person defeating several others, and the battle continues until all ten members of one side are completely incapacitated.

Upon hearing Yu Changkong's words, Sang Mufeng turned to Xu Ying and said, "Master Xu, I decided the number of people in the contest, so you can decide how the battle will proceed this time."

Xu Ying nodded and said, "Alright, if it's a challenge system, it will take too long. I think we should go for a duel system, ten matches to determine the winner, and the side with the higher winning percentage will be the victor. What do you think?" Sang Mufeng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go for the duel system then." After saying that, he turned to Yu Changkong and bowed, saying, "City Lord Yu, we choose the duel system."

Yu Changkong nodded, then said, "Alright, let's have a duel format. This time, there will be no casualties, but if one side concedes defeat, the other side cannot attack again. Do you both agree?"

The group all responded in agreement, and Yu Changkong then said, "Alright, let's begin."

As he spoke, Sang Mufeng nodded to one of the people behind him, who also nodded back. Then, with a swift movement, they rushed into the arena.

As he rushed into the arena, Xu Ying nodded to someone behind him. That person also moved and came into the arena. They didn't greet each other, but just stared intently at each other. Just then, the person from the Creation God Sect suddenly moved his hand, and the next moment a flying sword attacked the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple.

This sword strike was incredibly fast. The two were only a hundred meters apart. For a cultivator, a hundred meters is practically like being face to face. His sword strike was almost instantaneous, and he was already in front of the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple.

Suddenly, a fireball appeared in front of the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple. The fireball blocked the flying sword, and with a bang, the flying sword pierced the fireball, causing it to explode and sending the flying sword flying.

The next moment, a burst of starlight suddenly appeared above the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple's head. This was the Void Condensation Array Technique, a unique technique of the Blood Slaughter Sect, but also the most difficult technique to master. This is because one must possess extremely strong mental power to use this technique. In other words, this technique is highly dependent on talent; only those with high talent can cultivate it. Currently, there are not many people in the Blood Slaughter Sect who practice this technique. And these people are all disciples of Sheng Si. This time, because they are from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, all those sent were disciples of Sheng Si. There are only 100,000 such disciples in the entire Blood Slaughter Sect.

One hundred thousand people may sound like a lot, but compared to the massive population of the Blood Slaughter Sect, this number is far too small. All one hundred thousand of them have been sent here this time. In addition to these people, there are also some magic cultivators from the Blood Slaughter Sect who have also been sent here, but they haven't shown up yet.

After countless stars appeared above the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple's head, he pointed his staff forward, and with his movement, a fire phoenix flew straight towards the Creation God Sect cultivator. The Creation God Sect cultivator moved his hand and regained control of the flying sword. Then he made a few hand seals, and the next moment, the flying sword flashed with light and then slashed straight at the fire phoenix.

The fire phoenix seemed alive. It glanced at the flying sword, then flicked its tail feathers, sending a fireball hurtling towards it. The fireball struck the sword but didn't explode; instead, it transformed into a net of fire that enveloped the sword. The moment the net covered the sword, the cultivator from the Creation God Sect let out a muffled groan, his face turning pale. However, he quickly formed several hand seals and then shouted, "Shake!"

As soon as he spoke, the flying sword began to vibrate. With the vibration of the flying sword, the fire net was shaken away and disappeared in the next moment. But at this moment, the fire phoenix had already rushed in front of the cultivator from the Creation God Sect. It stretched out its sharp claws and grabbed at the cultivator from the Creation God Sect.

Although the cultivator from the Creation God Sect was pale, he remained calm. With a flick of his hand, a large shield appeared in front of him. The fire phoenix's claw struck the shield, and with a loud bang, the shield was shattered by the phoenix's claw.

The cultivator hadn't expected the fire phoenix's attack to be so powerful. His face turned ashen, then deathly gray. He spat out a mouthful of blood. Just then, the fire phoenix attacked again. It whipped its tail, its tail feathers like giant blades, slashing straight at the cultivator. After spitting out blood, the cultivator's face turned deathly pale. Seeing the attacking tail feathers, his eyes were filled with despair. But remembering the orders he had received, he gritted his teeth, opened his blood-soaked mouth, and roared. He looked utterly miserable. At the same time, a long banner appeared in his hand. The banner moved without wind, and in the next moment, countless vengeful ghosts flew out from it.

Upon seeing the long banner, Yu Changkong's expression changed. He then turned to look at Sang Mufeng, whose expression was also extremely unpleasant. The banner was the Myriad Soul Banner, a type of magical artifact not uncommon. However, the Creation God Sect was the state religion, and they did not allow the use of such artifacts. This was because such artifacts required the use of a human soul to forge, and were usually secretly forged by demonic cultivators. Once discovered, they would be hunted down by the people of the Divine Kingdom. Unexpectedly, this cultivator from the Creation God Sect had produced such an artifact at this time.
