Chapter 2146: Another Bet
“Wang Shi, since everybody is so excited. You should do something. Show us how strong you are. Who’s better between the alchemists of Godly Clouds and the alchemists of Red Clouds who are also kings’ descendants?” said Lei Dong Tian insistently. He really wanted these two to duel.
Now that so many strong cultivators were there, he couldn’t flinch. It wasn’t between two groups of people anymore, it was about two kings’ descendants from Godly Clouds and Red Clouds. It was about alchemy and cultivation. The geniuses of the top of the Huang Qi layer had gathered there, something had to happen.
Jiu Ling Huang looked as calm and composed as before, as if nothing had been happening. He was the First Master of Red Clouds, how could he fear Wang Shi? He didn’t fear fighting against people stronger than him, anyway.
“I also want to see alchemical techniques. I’d love to see you have an alchemical battle,” said Xian Ren, smiling as if it was certain that these two were going to have an alchemical battle.
“Those guys are funny, Wang Shi and Jiu Ling Huang have to fight,” murmured the gossips when they heard that. Wang Shi looked at Jiu Ling Huang, his eyes kept glittering. He hated this kind of feeling, he liked to decide for himself whether he wanted to fight or not. He didn’t like it when people forced him to do anything, he hated it more than anything.
Since he didn’t like it, nobody could force him to do anything. Therefore, he looked at Jiu Ling Huang and said, “You’re the First Master of Red Clouds, you have nine spirits and nine flames; I really want to fight against you, but I don’t like it when people force me to do something. We’ll fight during the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, are you alright with that?”
“Eh?” When the crowd heard Wang Shi, they were surprised. That guy surprisingly decided to flinch. Wang Shi wasn’t worried that people would make fun of him?
Lei Dong Tian and Xian Ren all hoped he would duel, that’s why they so insistent, but Wang Shi didn’t bow to their pressure. People wondered why.
“You wanted to fight against my sister and now you’re here and telling me you don’t like it when people force you to do something, do you mean you only like fighting against weaker people?” said Jiu Ling Huang, unwilling to give up. Before he arrived, Wang Shi wanted to fight against Yao Yao and bet on their respective fires. He had tried to force her, as if Yao Yao couldn’t refuse.
Jiu Ling Huang wouldn’t give up. Wang Shi had nothing to say.
“You have a sister, and I have a brother. They are also kings’ descendants,” said Wang Shi. People remembered someone else, a monstrous cultivator, Wang Jie!
However, everybody knew that Wang Jie didn’t like making pellets, he was a fighting monster. He was crazy. Wang Jie and Wang Shi had completely different personalities.
Therefore, Wang Shi was talking about his brother which made many people doubt his intentions. If Wang Jie and Yao Yao had an alchemical battle, Wang Jie couldn’t win, he hated making pellets.
“And then?” asked Jiu Ling Huang.
“My brother isn’t good in alchemy, however, he likes to fight,” said Wang Shi slowly. Everybody knew that, he didn’t lie about it. If Wang Jie and Yao Yao fought properly, Yao Yao wouldn’t stand a chance. And even if he won, so what? It would be no surprise and thus nothing glorious.
Jiu Ling Huang didn’t say anything, he just waited for Wang Shi to continue.
“My brother is really bad in alchemy, but he’s an amazing fighter. He can’t fight against your sister. Therefore, it would be stupid to compare them. However, since we’re in such a situation today and I don’t want to fight, I can ask my brother to get involved. He’s four years younger than me, he must be younger than some of your people from Red Clouds. Therefore, your people who are kings’ descendants can fight against him. Of course, you’re the First Master of Red Clouds, you can’t fight him.
“You aren’t the only people from Red Clouds who are kings’ descendants, there must be some others. As long as they are emperors, they can fight against my brother, if my brother loses, I am willing to make a bet with my fire at stake.”
Flames appeared in Wang Shi’s hand, pure white as they danced there. It wasn’t scorching hot, but it was extraordinary.
“How brave. Wang Shi is surprisingly willing to give up his fire. However, the crazy cultivator of the Pellet Kings Clan can’t lose unless the First Master of Red Clouds, Jiu Ling Huang, fights him personally. Nobody dares offend him.”
People who knew Wang Jie knew this wasn’t a fair proposition. Everybody understood that such a battle would be beneficial for Wang Shi. He didn’t want to fight against Jiu Ling Huang because he knew he couldn’t win.
Jiu Ling Huang had never heard about Wang Shi’s younger brother and he didn’t know how strong he was. However, he knew that if Wang Shi was willing to bet on his fire, it meant that his younger brother’s fighting abilities were terrifying. Wang Shi knew they’d definitely win, so he dared bet on his fire.
A powerful fire was priceless for alchemists, they all practiced fire cultivation. Without fire, they couldn’t concoct remedies, just like weapon makers couldn’t do anything without deployment spells.
Extremely valuable remedies could be made in certain conditions only, requiring a terrifying temperature and an incredible cauldron.
“What if your brother wins?” asked Yao Yao.
Wang Shi smiled and said, “Since I refused to fight, I can’t ask for anything. My only requirement is that the one who killed a member of my clan should die.”
When Wang Shi said that, everybody looked at Lin Feng who was next to Yao Yao. He had killed Wang Zhan.
However, Wang Shi had said he had no requirement before that, which meant that in his eyes, Lin Feng’s life wasn’t a requirement, it was comparable to his fire. For him, Lin Feng’s life was actually even less precious than his fire because he had said he wanted nothing.
Jiu Ling Huang looked at Lin Feng, Yao Yao looked at him and said, “Bro?”
“He’s not from our clan.” said Emperor Yu calmly. “And since I can’t capture him, we can bet.”
“Therefore, if you don’t get involved, that’s fine, I will take care of the rest,” Wang Shi smiled.
“Interesting!” said Prince Wu Qing. The crowd looked over at him. He looked cold and detached. He looked a little bit amused too. Lin Feng was from Dark Clouds, he was famous there, no less famous than himself. However, they were somewhere else now and someone wanted to bet his fire for his life. It was interesting.
“Indeed, interesting.” said Mo Yu, smiling coldly. He looked angry, actually.
“We’re in Godly Clouds City, you can attack him as you wish, we can’t stop you, so why such a request?” said Jiu Ling Huang looking at Wang Shi.
“I just hope he can win to stay alive, simple, right?” said Wang Shi smiling.
“Bastard, brother you can’t accept!” Yao Yao said, looking at Jiu Ling Huang.
Lin Feng remained silent. He had killed Wang Sheng, it obviously wasn’t enough. Couldn’t he have a rest before the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds?
“Accept,” he said to Jiu Ling Huang.
Jiu Ling Huang looked amused and said to Lin Feng, “Are you sure? I’m not sure we can win. Actually, we’re probably going to lose.”
“I won’t let you decide of anything when it comes to my life. I will fight myself,” said Lin Feng calmly.
Jiu Ling Huang was surprised. He remained silent for a few seconds and then nodded and smiled, “Since you don’t mind, I won’t refuse.”
“Yao Yao won a pellet for me. If I win, that fire will be for Yao Yao!” said Lin Feng.
Jiu Ling Huang looked even more amused and nodded, “Alright, if you win, give the fire to Yao Yao.”
Wang Shi smiled. Could Lin Feng even win?
Wang Shi knew that his brother Wang Jie was astonishingly strong. He was famous in Godly Clouds City. In their clan, in terms of strength and alchemy, Wang Shi was first, but in terms of talent, Wang Jie was first. Actually, they were both first.
“Who do you want me to kill?” someone asked loudly in the distance. It was another young man. However, he wasn’t as calm as Wang Shi. He looked aggressive and wild.
As Wang Jie arrived, he stopped in the air and released a scorching hot Qi. He glanced over at the crowd.
Lin Feng stepped forwards. However, he didn’t hurry to attack, he also looked at the crowd and smiled, “If I kill him, what will happen?”
When Lin Feng said that, everybody looked astonished. What would happen if Lin Feng killed Wang Jie?
