Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16170

Chapter 16168. The Gamble (Part Two)

Sang Mufeng returned to the Temple of Creation. The people of the Creation Sect 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 Sang Mufeng come out, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Sang Mufeng glanced at them and then said, “The people of the Myriad Laws Sect proposed a duel with us. The winner stays, and the loser leaves Beast Town City. I agree. We will decide the method of the duel. You can discuss it first and see what method is more suitable for us to fight them. I will report this matter to the sect now.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard him say this. Then they all responded. Sang Mufeng nodded and then went straight back to his room. As soon as he returned to his room, 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 the room and waited. Soon, a jade slip appeared on the communication array. He immediately picked it up, glanced at its contents, and breathed a sigh of relief. 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, the opposing side would be considered the winner, and the Creation God Sect would accept it. If they won, the opposing side would be expelled from Beast Suppression City. Therefore, they agreed to the duel.

After putting the jade slip away, Sang Mufeng stood up and walked outside. Soon, he arrived at the conference room outside. Upon entering, he saw everyone discussing the duel. He coughed lightly, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.

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

Hearing this, everyone remained silent, bowed to Sang Mufeng, and returned to their rooms to rest.

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

Yu Changkong, of course, didn’t object; he immediately agreed. They even set a time: three days later, the duel would officially begin in a small valley outside the city.

Three days passed quickly. Yu Changkong arrived at the valley with a troop of soldiers. He brought only one hundred men, but all one hundred were fully armored and armed—the elite of the army.

Yu Changkong brought these men to make his stance clear to the Creation God Sect; of course, the Creation God Sect saw it as him demonstrating his position to both sides.

When Yu Changkong arrived at the valley, both the Creation God Sect and the Myriad Laws God Sect were already there. The Myriad Laws God Sect members were all dressed in robes of varying colors, but their aura was extraordinary.

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

The two sides faced 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 stated, “You set the rules yourselves. Each side will send ten people, and the loser will leave the Beast Town City. But I must ask you again, is this a duel or a contest?”

The duel system was quite simple: each side sent one person to fight once, and after the winner was decided, both sides withdrew. The contest system was even simpler: if you went up and won, you could choose to defend the title and continue fighting. This could result in one person defeating several others, continuing until all ten members of one side were completely incapacitated.

Upon hearing Yu Changkong’s words, Sang Mufeng turned to Xu Ying and said, “Master Xu, I decided the number of people for the duel, so you can decide how the battle will be conducted.”

Xu Ying nodded and said, “Alright, if it’s a contest of the title, it will take too long. How about this, let’s have a direct duel format, 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, “Alright, let’s go with the duel format.” He then turned and bowed to Yu Changkong

, saying, “City Lord Yu, we’ll choose the duel format.” Yu Changkong nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go with the duel format. In this duel, there will be no casualties, but if one side concedes, the other side cannot attack. Do you both agree?”

Everyone responded, indicating their agreement. Yu Changkong then said, “Alright, let’s begin.”

With that, Sang Mufeng nodded to someone behind him, who nodded back and then rushed into the arena.

Once in the arena, Xu Ying also nodded to someone behind him, who also moved and entered the arena. They didn’t greet each other, but stared intently at one another. Just then, a member of the Creation God Sect suddenly moved, and a flying sword shot directly at the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple.

The sword strike was incredibly fast. The two were only a hundred meters apart, a distance that, for a cultivator, was practically face-to-face. His sword flashed almost instantly, reaching the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple.

Suddenly, a fireball appeared in front of the disciple, blocking the flying sword. With a loud bang, the sword struck the fireball, causing it to explode and sending the 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 to master. It required extremely strong mental power, meaning it heavily relied on talent. Only those with high talent could cultivate it, and even now, very few within the Blood Slaughter Sect practiced it. These individuals were all disciples of Sheng Si. Because they were affiliated with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, they were all sent by Sheng Si. The entire Blood Slaughter Sect possessed only 100,000 such disciples. While

100,000 might sound like a lot, compared to the Blood Slaughter Sect’s vast population, it was a tiny number. All 100,000 of them were sent here, along with some other cultivators from the Blood Slaughter Sect, who had also been sent, though they hadn’t yet shown themselves.

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. He quickly formed several hand seals and shouted, “Vibrate!”

With that, the flying sword began to vibrate, and the net of fire vanished instantly. But at that moment, the fire phoenix had already reached the cultivator from the Creation God Sect, extending its sharp claws to grab him.

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.
