Chapter 425 Life and Death Gamble

After dodging several times, he consumed a few emergency pills.

Instantly, he felt his internal spiritual energy roar and surge like a great river, like a wild beast, howling and crashing.

"Pangu Divine Power, Shatter Void!"

Mo Qi raised his hand levelly. A white dot appeared out of thin air in his hand, and then the white dot rapidly expanded, turning into a white disc of light, spinning at extreme speed.

The edge of the disc had teeth, and as it spun, it cut the surrounding air with a creaking sound, sparks flying.

The toothed disc flew out of his hand, heading towards Shui Bing opposite him.

Just then, the white electrical light from the opposite side also spun and whistled towards him.

The two finally collided.

The toothed disc spun rapidly, moving upstream, its teeth tearing apart the layers of electrical light.

The electrical light splashed out in all directions like sparks, and the disc continued to fly forward, continuously gnawing at the endless electrical light.

Electrical sparks continuously sprayed out, initially scattering like a rain of flowers, and later gradually forming a waterfall that poured down, engulfing both Mo Qi and Shui Bing.

The sound of booming explosions was incessant, and the white waterfall was constantly spraying.

The surrounding people stood up nervously, staring intently at the center.

Yet, they could see nothing.

"What's happening?"

"Who won?"

"Who has the advantage?"

"This is killing me!"

A moment later, there was a thunderous roar, as if the sky and earth were collapsing, as if rivers were bursting their banks.

White light suddenly splashed outwards in all directions, followed by a pattering rain of light.

Two figures emerged from the rain of light, but one flew out and the other stumbled out.

When people looked closely, they were stunned!

The one standing was actually Mo Qi, while the one who stumbled out was Shui Bing, lying on the ground, unconscious.

Mo Qi immediately flew over and took the storage bag from her waist. Just as he was about to take out his Donghuang Bell, Shui Bing suddenly opened her eyes and hugged Mo Qi's legs: "You're not allowed to take my things."

Mo Qi coughed dryly, "I'm just taking back my own things."

"Didn't we agree? You'll return it to me after the match."

"But the match is over now, isn't it?" Mo Qi felt bewildered.

"It's not over. You still have another match?" Shui Bing said weakly.

She was indeed severely injured.

So, her intention was to finish all the matches!

"What is your intention in doing this?" Mo Qi felt very puzzled.

You lost, so why are you still bothering with so much?

"You're not really going to collude with Zhong Xin Tie and the others, are you? If that's the case, I won't pay you any mind," Mo Qi said angrily.

"No, deceiving you for the bell was my father's idea, and it was the idea of everyone in Sky City."

Mo Qi's heart trembled!

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shui Wan Cheng in the distance. Shui Wan Cheng turned his head away at this moment, looking at the match on another arena, as if he paid no attention to what was happening here.

"Then what does your father mean?" Mo Qi snorted coldly.

"My father doesn't want you to win," Shui Bing said without concealment.

Damn it, she's so righteous about it!

Treating me like a fool!

"But I want to win, so I can't give you the Donghuang Bell," Mo Qi said coldly.

At this moment, Shui Bing coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her hands still held Mo Qi's legs tightly: "If you don't give me the bell, I won't let go, unless you kill me."

Mo Qi raised his eyes and scanned the surroundings. Seeing many people looking at them in surprise, he lowered his head and said, "With so many people watching, you, a princess, shouldn't be throwing a tantrum. You should maintain your dignified image."

"If you don't give it to me, I'll not only throw a tantrum, but I'll also say you molested me."

It's you who are molesting me, alright?

Why am I encountering such a stubborn and unreasonable person today?

This is more troublesome than Linghu Xiao Xian and Ge Xiang!

Mo Qi sighed helplessly and returned the storage bag to her.

At the same time, he gave her a healing pill.

After Shui Bing put away the storage bag, she took the pill with relief.

Mo Qi, with no mind to watch her recover, said, "Remember what you said," and turned to leave.

Mo Qi returned to the preparation area alone. General Chen had already lost, but he was still standing in the crowd watching.

Mo Qi glanced at him from time to time.

General Chen occasionally met his gaze, his old face turning red with shame and inadequacy.

But at the same time, he also felt that Mo Qi could not possibly break through to the final round, because the entire Sky City was targeting him.

Mo Qi also felt this.

As he sat there, he felt countless hateful gazes like arrows, wishing they could pierce him.

But his inner stubbornness made him return their gazes with equally sharp eyes.

If I hadn't come, so be it. Since I'm here, I will win!

In the final match, unfortunately, Mo Qi was pitted against Zhong Xin Tie.

Everyone in Sky City cheered!

They felt that Mo Qi was a dark horse, and a dark horse needed the most powerful tiger to subdue.

And Zhong Xin Tie was the most powerful tiger. His cultivation had just entered the early stage of Golden Immortal, making him the highest cultivated among all the contestants.

If Mo Qi had the Donghuang Bell, everyone would still be wary, but now that he had lost it, he was nothing. Zhong Xin Tie would surely defeat him with ease.

Zhong Xin Tie also felt that the outcome was predetermined. As soon as he stepped onto the arena, he eagerly looked around: "Everyone, please be witnesses. My brother Mo Qi and I had a bet before. Today's match will decide not only victory and defeat but also life and death."

A cheer erupted from the surroundings: "We know, we will all be witnesses for you."

In the spectator stands, Shui Bing's smile, which had been joyful a moment ago, froze on her face. She felt that she had fallen into someone's trap!

Shui Han looked at her coldly, a murderous intent flickering in his eyes.

However, she only glanced at him before leaving. She also had to participate in the final match.

Mo Qi stared coldly at Zhong Xin Tie: "You can't wait to die!"

Zhong Xin Tie laughed heartily: "Big talk! What capital do you have to say such things? That broken bell of yours has made you lose your bearings. Let me tell you, don't even mention that you don't have the bell now. Even if you had the bell in your hand, you would have no chance of winning against me. Killing Master Wang by chance has made you so confident? If Master Wang had been adequately prepared mentally at the time, he could have easily avoided your sharp edge and counterattacked when the opportunity arose. He had enough of an overwhelming advantage."

Indeed, what he said had some truth to it.

However, who would dare to try it easily?

Mo Qi snorted coldly: "If you were so confident, why did you scheme to steal my Donghuang Bell? Now that the bell is not in my hands, you can say whatever you want, and it cannot be verified."

Zhong Xin Tie paused for a moment, then waved his hand: "I'm too lazy to waste words with you. You'll be a corpse soon anyway. Why should I argue with a corpse?"

As he spoke, Zhong Xin Tie summoned a tree-shaped magical artifact. He unfurled the branch in the air, and countless leaves fell. The leaves spun irregularly in the air, becoming ethereal, and then formed a giant sword that stabbed towards Mo Qi. A cold wind blew, making people shiver, as if a cold sword had pierced their bones.

Mo Qi summoned the Qiankun Ring and hurled it forward. With a hum, the Qiankun Ring swelled and moved forward. The sword shadow whistled towards it, and with a ding, it emitted a metallic clang as if the Qiankun Ring had struck a real sword.

Light and energy shattered, instantly filling the air. The air trembled, and the Qiankun Ring, unable to withstand the impact, flew back violently, crashing towards Mo Qi.

As the sword shadow was about to strike, Mo Qi had to forcefully catch the Qiankun Ring. The immense force transmitted, like the pulling force of a mountain, almost tore his arm off his shoulder on the spot.

He endured the intense pain, his body retreating backward, staggering dozens of feet before he could barely stabilize himself. At this moment, the sword shadow was already pressing towards his face.

"Ah!"

Mo Qi roared, releasing all his strength. The Qiankun Ring was violently pulled back and smashed onto the sword shadow. With a deafening roar, the ground trembled.

The spectators in the stands lost their footing and fell to the ground.

The sword shadow hesitated for a moment, then shattered on the spot, turning into dust.

Mo Qi's figure, along with the Qiankun Ring, flew backward dozens of feet before crashing to the ground with a roar.

He had landed directly outside the arena.

According to the rules, Mo Qi had lost.

The referee stood up, preparing to announce the result.

But Zhong Xin Tie immediately gestured to the referee and shook his head.

The referee sat back down.

Yes, he wanted him dead!

At this moment, Shui Bing in the distance couldn't help but have tears welling up in her eyes.

I don't know, but I've unknowingly become an executioner!

Meanwhile, Mo Qi, completely unaware that he had lost, endured the pain all over his body and stood up, consuming ten emergency pills.

His internal spiritual energy erupted rapidly!

It erupted like volcanic lava!

As if by divine inspiration, he extended his left hand forward and slowly pulled his right hand from front to back. In front of his chest, a phantom bow and arrow appeared. The arrow was only as thick as a finger, but it seemed to contain a world-destroying aura. The people in the surrounding spectator area were greatly shaken.

"What is that?"

"Is it the Heavenly Bow and Earthly Arrow?"

"No, why would the Heavenly Bow and Earthly Arrow be a phantom?"

"But the power it emits, besides the Heavenly Bow and Earthly Arrow, who else could it be?"

Zhong Xin Tie remained completely disdainful, still displaying the tree-shaped magical artifact in the air. With a gentle shake, countless more leaves fell, spinning in the air, becoming ethereal, and then condensing into a sword energy that struck towards Mo Qi.

Mo Qi pulled the bow to its limit, the entire bow and arrow making a resonant sound.

The edge of the bowstring flowed with vibrant colors, sparks flying.

With a sharp clang, the arrow shot through the air, like a swift ship breaking through giant waves, charging forward.

A moment later, the arrow finally collided with the sword shadow. With a roar, both the arrow and the sword shadow dissipated into ashes simultaneously.

Mo Qi and Zhong Xin Tie both suffered a backlash and retreated a few steps.

Exclamations of astonishment came from the surroundings: "Who exactly is this Mo Qi, to always be able to fight evenly with those of higher cultivation!"

"Yes, this is too strange!"

"This is interesting!" Zhong Xin Tie looked at Mo Qi, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.
