Chapter 1363: Chapter 1363: Jing Yan Battles Gou Qu
These Martial Artists trapped in the Land of Descent actually know in their hearts that they might never get out in their lifetime.
In other words, they will stay in this place until their life span is exhausted and they die of old age here.
Therefore, resources like Acquired Spiritual Treasures are completely useless to them. They would prefer consumables like Green Bamboo Wine, which at least they can enjoy.
Here, giving someone an Acquired Spiritual Treasure is far less liked than giving them a jar of Green Bamboo Wine.
"This newcomer Jing Yan seems to have brought a lot of Green Bamboo Wine in!"
"Yes! That Gai Bin guy asked him to bet five jars of Green Bamboo Wine, and he agreed without hesitation."
"Should we... maybe challenge him for a match, too?"
Some Martial Artists from the Sixth Divine Domain exchanged ideas in secret. Some felt it was too despicable to do so, while others said they’d be trapped here for life, so why care about face?
Not only the Martial Artists from the Sixth Divine Domain were communicating secretly, but many others from different worlds were also having similar exchanges. Quite a few even planned to imitate Gai Bin and others from the Fifth Divine Domain.
Five jars of Green Bamboo Wine! Just thinking about it makes one’s blood boil!
They planned to challenge Jing Yan after his battle with Gou Qu.
"Brother Jing Yan!" Che Gu sighed softly, looking at Jing Yan and said, "Are you really deciding to fight Gou Qu?"
"Yes, my mind is made up!" Jing Yan nodded.
Che Gu also nodded solemnly.
Subsequently, his gaze turned to the other side, looking at an elder whose entire being seemed engraved with an aura of timeworn endurance.
This elder, whom Jing Yan had seen before, was treated more respectfully by Che Gu and the others. It was evident to Jing Yan that this elder held a relatively high position here and possessed exceedingly powerful strength.
However, this elder’s life span might not be much longer; Jing Yan could feel the life force gradually fading from him. If he couldn’t advance to the God Lord Level, he might soon pass away in meditation due to his end of life span.
"Elder Xuan Ye." Che Gu cupped his hands towards the elder.
The elder known as Xuan Ye also nodded to Che Gu and stepped forward a few steps.
"Brother Jing Yan, this is Elder Xuan Ye. According to our rules here, if a battle occurs, the parties involved must hand over the agreed stakes to Elder Xuan Ye for temporary custody and verification." Che Gu introduced and explained to Jing Yan.
"Greetings to Elder Xuan Ye!" Jing Yan quickly bowed to Xuan Ye.
Jing Yan felt that although Elder Xuan Ye was at the Main God Realm, his strength might rival a second-tier God Master in the God Realm. His aura was exceptionally profound and robust. Among the Martial Artists present, Elder Xuan Ye’s strength should be at the top level.
"No need for formalities, little friend Jing Yan. You are battling with Gou Qu from the Fifth Divine Domain and have agreed on a stake. Your stake is five jars of Green Bamboo Wine, which you can hand over to me for safekeeping." Xuan Ye’s wrinkled face displayed a faint smile.
Without any hesitation, Jing Yan directly retrieved five jars of Green Bamboo Wine from his Qiankun Small World and handed them to Xuan Ye.
"Thank you for the trouble, Elder Xuan Ye!" Jing Yan said.
Xuan Ye waved his hand.
He opened each jar to verify the Green Bamboo Wine that Jing Yan had taken out.
"The five jars of Green Bamboo Wine wagered by little friend Jing Yan have no issues." Xuan Ye resealed the jars and said.
"Hehe, Elder Xuan Ye, here are the ten Acquired Spiritual Treasures wagered by Brother Gou Qu, please have a look!" After Xuan Ye verified the Green Bamboo Wine, Gai Bin, the Jiu Ding Main God of the Fifth Divine Domain, also brought out ten Acquired Spiritual Treasures and handed them to Xuan Ye.
"The ten Acquired Spiritual Treasures wagered by little friend Gou Qu also have no issues. Now, I will keep the stakes for little friend Jing Yan and little friend Gou Qu, and after the battle, I will hand over the five jars of Green Bamboo Wine and the ten Acquired Spiritual Treasures to the winner." Xuan Ye squinted his slightly cloudy eyes and spoke slowly.
These were old rules here.
In this place, battles between Martial Artists from different divine domains frequently occurred, with Xuan Ye serving as a referee. Over countless years, no issues had ever arisen. Everyone respected Xuan Ye not only because of his strong strength but also because he was a very fair person.
"The stakes are now confirmed. Jing Yan, shall we get ready to have our duel?" Gou Qu squinted his eyes at Jing Yan, saying with a smile.
"Anytime!" Jing Yan replied with a smile.
"Brother Gou Qu and Jing Yan are about to have a duel. We kindly ask all Daoists to retreat to a distance to avoid being affected." Gai Bin said loudly.
In fact, even without him saying it, the surrounding people had already moved afar on their own initiative, leaving plenty of room for Jing Yan and Gou Qu to employ their skills during the duel.
"Brother Jing Yan, you must be careful." The Martial Artists from the Seventh Divine Domain, including Che Gu, also advised Jing Yan solemnly.
Afterward, they too moved to a distance to spectate the battle.
"Jing Yan, are you ready? As I said before, if you can withstand my three moves, this battle will be considered my loss." Gou Qu gazed at Jing Yan hands behind his back.
At this moment, Gou Qu was very relaxed, not thinking at all that Jing Yan could withstand his three moves. He believed he could end this supposedly unequal battle with just a casual move. Jing Yan, a newly arrived Jiu Ding Main God in the Land of Descent, was too young to compare with the God Realm God Lords.
And he, Gou Qu, after comprehending the Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body, his combat power had surpassed ordinary God Lords. Even facing those third-class God Lords from the God Realm, he believed he could contend with them!
"Gou Qu, you might regret what you’ve just said." Jing Yan said with a smile.
While speaking, he also drew out his Colorful Cloud Sword, subtly channeling Divine Power from his Divine Sea.
"Gou Qu... are you ready?" Jing Yan focused his aura, asking.
Gou Qu naturally nodded.
However, his hands remained behind his back, clearly underestimating Jing Yan.
"Sword Intent Domain!" Jing Yan swiftly thrusted his Colorful Cloud Sword in the void, and a colorful sword light, carrying the power of the Third Realm Sword Intent Domain, swept toward Gou Qu.
When experts make their move, it’s immediately apparent.
Once Jing Yan launched his sword in the void, not only did the Jiu Ding Main God Gou Qu, who was enveloped by the Sword Intent, realize it, but even those watching from a distance quickly reacted. They could tell that Jing Yan’s sword was anything but ordinary. The power contained in the sword light caused even their Divine Souls to tremble slightly from far away.
