Jun Mo Xie said smilingly, “If it’s other members of the three Holy Lands here, I would definitely be cautious of ambushes and trickery. But now it’s the three of you I am facing, if you dare to lose face by doing such despicable things, I will not hesitate to lose my life.”

“Haha! What a boy!” Cheng Yin Xiao was very satisfied. Although Jun Mo Xie sounded insulting, he was actually showing trust towards them. Trust between foes was something very precious.

The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master looked at Jun Mo Xie and said with an ominous voice, “Jun Mo Xie, I placed a heavy bet on you this time. Don’t let me lose it! How confident are you?”

Jun Mo Xie replied in surprise, “There are so many talents in the three Holy Lands and many of them are extremely powerful. We have been lucky with the two previous battles. It’s only the beginning of the third; there’s no way I can tell. Our men are risking their lives in these battles and you’re laying a bet on them... are you sure this is ethical?”

“Why can’t I? It’s just the life of a few men; how much are they even worth?” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master snorted. “They should have expected getting killed when they followed you in your expeditions! Also, I am just betting on the outcome of the battle, not how many men will be killed! These men are not worthy enough for me to place a bet on their lives!”

Jun Mo Xie smiled weakly while deep inside, he was puzzled. Why does the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master seem to be helping me ever since he appeared? Has he recognized who I am?

“Jun Mo Xie, the formations you have taught them are indeed intriguing...” Qu Wu Hui snorted.

Jun Mo Xie laughed after revealing an embarrassed smile. “You are flattering me! How could I be so proficient in designing formations...”

“Oh? So who taught them?” Cheng Yin Xiao quickly asked.

“It’s just someone else. By the way, what are your bets?” Jun Mo Xie tried to digress.

“It doesn’t matter! You are definitely losing this battle!” Qu Wu Hui was obvious annoyed by Jun Mo Xie’s digression. He rolled his eyes and turned away.

Jun Mo Xie calmly talked back. “I am sure the outcome is still very uncertain. We will see! I have to remind you that I have already won two battles and if I can win this one, I will be halfway to obtaining the Exquisite Lotus.”

“Fret not! We have already promised. We are more than a thousand years old; I am sure we are credible.”

“Of course I’m not worried... But it’s a pity that there are so few of you in the three Holy Lands who are credible...”

“You have just said that the outcome is still uncertain; what’s the use of talking about the bet?! Do you think you can turn the situation around just by talking big? Honestly, your seven subordinates are halfway into their demise! I suppose you should start prepare coffins for them and stop boasting over there!”

“Life and death are all fate! The Fourteenth Young Master is right. They must have already prepared for the worst when they decided to follow me. I am just wondering whether your men are prepared for it?” Jun Mo Xie smirked. His words had become more aggressive.

Just as they spoke, the fourteen men in the arena engaged.

The Seven Demon Formation was overwhelming as it placed the seven members of the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer in an almost irreversibly bad situation!

Even the audience could barely breathe.

Qu Wu Hui could not help laughing just with a glance. It’s bullshit if we can still lose from such an advantage! Ah... Fourteenth Young Master... I admit that I am weaker than you, but seeing you eat a thousand earthworms will definitely make me wake up at night laughing...

The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master put on a rare gloomy look as he watched the arena fill up with airborne dust particles. Becoming aware of this, Qu Wu Hui was even more excited. He grinned and said, “Fourteenth Young Master, don’t worry. You always say that you never lost a bet before; perhaps, there’s still a chance for a comeback.” He sounded as sarcastic as ever.

“Yes, indeed... it’s not the final moment yet. The result is still uncertain...” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master glanced back. “If you put more effort in training than practicing how to quarrel with others, you might have already surpassed me...”

Qu Wu Hui was stunned for a moment. He spat in annoyance and disappointment before turning back to observe the situation.

Undoubtedly, this match attracted more attention than the two previous battles!

The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master frowned as he watched on. After a while, he seemed to realize something as the gloom looming over him slowly lifted...

Cheng Yin Xiao was constantly paying attention to the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s expressions. He knew that the most observant one in the whole arena was the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master.

At this moment, he was sensitive enough to be aware of the Fourteenth Young Master relaxing. He couldn’t help tense up. “Fourteenth Young Master, who do you think will win?”

The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master sighed and shook his head. “The outcome will be strange!”

“Strange?” The rest all turned over to look at him. The outcome now appeared so obvious, so how could anything ‘strange’ happen?

“The Seven Demon Formation was indeed overwhelming and had already constricted the movement of its opponent. From this aspect, it appears that there is no doubt to who is going to win... but there are three strange points and even I cannot find an explanation yet!” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master looked at Jun Mo Xie with much curiosity.

“Three strange points?” Everyone else tensed up and turned back towards the arena.

Reflections from the blades flashed in their faces as blade auras washed the arena. The seven swords of the Seven Demon Formation had interwoven into a dense net, enclosing the seven men in black. The seven men in black were like a small fleet struggling in a storm. Amazingly, they were still able to avoid being engulfed by the huge waves...

Qu Wu Hui stared for very long before hitting his own forehead. “F*ck! It’s another weird formation of seven!”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yin Xiao and Qiao Ying also figured it out. The seven men in black always stood at a fixed position relative to each other no matter what happened!

Their positions seemed unreasonable by themselves! They looked like random spots that had little connection, but it simply worked as a formation that provided a top-notch defense!

By now, no one was as optimistic! All of them were top experts of the world, and they were very aware that a perfect defense meant being invincible!

“The first strange point is that no one has been injured yet despite all of them being so close together! Under such intense combat, even we can’t guarantee not being hurt by now!”

Cheng Yin Xiao and Qu Wu Hui nodded slowly as they pondered.

“The second strange point is that their weapons have not even touched each other by now! Each of them has already delivered more than a thousand blows, but none of their weapons touched!”

The three Guardians immediately turned very gloomy.

It was not a good sign! Peacefulness like this was akin to the calmness before a storm! When their weapons started to come into contact, perhaps there would only be death and no mere injuries! Both sides were preparing for a strong blast!

“As for the last strange point... Fair is foul and foul is fair... the tide in the ocean is never predictable... how interesting!” Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master looked at Jun Mo Xie and smiled eerily.
