Chapter 666: Seeking Death In Front of His Majesty

People from the Xuanyuan Kingdom felt as if they had been humiliated when their capability was questioned by a child.

They were further piqued when everyone else was staring at Xuan Bing with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Xuan Bing’s face was flushed red before he waved his arms and defended himself, “That only happened because his power was below par. He failed to control the yellow rune, causing the reapers to react unusually!”

Apparently, the exorcists from Huangzi Nation refused to accept the explanation. Two of them stood up in defiance. “What did you say?”

Young men were always brash and assertive, especially when they tried to defend their nation’s pride.

Messenger Wang tried his best to contain the matter. He said in muffled tone, “Don’t act impulsively. We have an alliance with Xuanyuan Kingdom now.”

The two exorcists clenched their fists before they turned their heads away discontentedly.

Xuan Bing stopped speaking.

After all, someone lost his life.

The atmosphere within the Great Hall was no longer as lively as before.

Soon, it was the turn of another exorcist, who hailed from another nation, to summon the reaper.

By the look of his expression, it was apparent that he was scared out of his wits. His face turned pale while his forehead was covered in sweat. Seemingly, he had never recovered from the terrifying event.

Nevertheless, he stood the nearest to Mu Bai just now and witnessed the scene more graphically than anyone else.

When the reaper appeared, they were engulfed by chilling breeze, together with unpleasant memories.

For instance, he was reminded about how he jeopardized his brother in order to acquire his master’s Exorcist Sword.

At that moment, he thought that his brother had returned...

“No, I can’t do this. This is too scary! I can’t do it!” the exorcist from the neighboring country began to shout.

Elder Xu Wu threw a glimpse at him and said, “You’ll lose by forfeiting the game. Have you thought about it carefully? Do you have other candidates from your nation who can replace you?”

Everybody remained silent as they exchanged looks before they finally shook their heads.

What happened before was too petrifying.

They were still capable of handling one reaper, but it was impossible to fight with two reapers.

“Then, let’s proceed with the next contestant, Xuan Bing!” Elder Xu Wu gazed at the center of the Great Hall and said slyly: “It’s time to show them what you’ve got. Otherwise, certain people might continue to think that they’re the right ones.”

Following Elder Xu Wu’s instruction, Xuan Bing took a step forward. He sneered before he threw a glance at Helian Wei Wei. “Elder Xu Wu is right. Some people are so senseless and only know how to defame others. If I continue to stay quiet, others will probably treat me with cavalier fashion. Previously, Brother Mu Bai summoned two reapers, yet he failed to tame them. Now, I’ll summon four reapers. Then, we’ll find out which one of us is right!”

“What? He wants to summon four reapers? Is it possible to do that?” The ministers were stunned by his statement as they began to debate among themselves.

Summoning the reaper were one of the toughest skills in the Art of Exorcism. Everyone was surprised to learn that he actually wanted to summon four reapers!

“Is he tired of living?” As Wu Jing spoke, he had not forgotten how Mu Bai, the exorcist, died. He lost his life after he summoned two reapers and failed to suppress them. Eventually, he was killed by the reapers. However, Xuan Bing was now trying to summon four reapers!

Elder Xuan Wu raised his eyebrow. “Are you confident, Xuan Bing?”

“To be honest, I am capable of summoning five reapers. I was trained by Crown Prince personally. I wanted to give my lesser opponent a chance to win. However, this has boosted their arrogance,” Xuan Bing said as he threw a glimpse at Helian Wei Wei. In fact, the spell he cast was aimed at Helian Wei Wei. He intended to activate it during Helian Wei Wei’s turn and brought out two reapers to catch her off guard. He did not expect that the spell would be activated earlier, not knowing what went wrong. Nonetheless, the incident seemed rather strange.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter.

The winner will take it all!

I’ll be the sole winner in this competition!

After he woke up from his train of thoughts, Xuan Bing removed his gaze from Helian Wei Wei in a haughty manner.

The eyes of the dumbfounded audience were fixed on Xuan Bing.

The Green Dragon, which was hiding amidst the air, read Xuan Bing’s mind before it let out a contemptuous chuckle. “This man is trying to kill himself.”

“Exactly.” Fire Qilin was standing beside the Green Dragon. Other than Baili Jia Jue, no other human could see them. “He’s trying to perform exorcism in front of our master? Indeed, humans are foolish as always. Master, how many reapers are you planning to release? Green Dragon and I are more than happy to give way to them.”

Baili Jiajue slowly raised his ceramic cup, he cocked his head as he toyed with the cup. Then, he replied in an indifferent tone, “Let’s be nice to him. Didn’t he request for four reapers? Then, we’ll give him four reapers.”

Fire Qilin blinked in astonishment, wondering if it had misheard its master. When did our master become so accommodating?

Then, Baili Jiajue added, “Get him the four best reapers.”

Upon listening to that, the Fire Qilin was speechless.

It had certainly misunderstood its master.

The best reaper was as powerful as two common reapers.

Together, they would be more terrifying than eight common reapers!

“Master, you’re not being nice to them. You’re trying to chop them into pieces,” Fire Qilin added with an almost inaudible voice.

Baili Jiajue raised his eyebrow nonchalantly. “Are you objecting my idea?”

“Of course not. You’re the most honorable King and you can do whatever you want.” Fire Qilin went down on one knee and bowed.

Baili Jiajue was not looking at it. Instead, he was using his consciousness stream to communicate with Helian Wei Wei. “When he summons the reapers, you should stay away from him.”

“Hmm?” It took Helian Wei Wei a while to respond as she was used to hearing Yuan Ming’s wicked tone. It was difficult for her to get adapted to this new graceful voice.

Baili Jiajue rested his head on another hand as he explained indolently, “Avoid the blood. It’s dirty.”

The intelligent Helian Wei Wei immediately grasped his words, knowing that he was involved in this incident. “The two reapers from just now seemed grumpier than usual. Was it because of you?”

“Yes,” Baili Jiajue answered nonchalantly as though he was completely unconcerned. “They were scared by me.”

His voice carried absolutely no emotion. It sounded elegant and polite as always.

The corner of Helian Wei Wei’s mouth twitched as she tried to imagine her opponent’s reaction if he ever heard Baili Jia Jue’s statement.

He was putting strenuous effort to summon the reapers from netherworld.

However, His Highness seemed to completely disregard these amateurs’ efforts...

This was what distinguished him from others!

Not only did he increase the threat, he fought the Boss as well. He would be a guru even in the game.

Once again, Helian Wei Wei reckoned that she was really wise when she decided to court Baili Jia Jue although, back then, she was only attracted by his appearance...

“Later, I want to do it on my own. Don’t try to help me.” Helian Wei Wei was curious to find out if she could summon anything by herself. She had successfully summoned a Little Land Master. It was possible for her to summon a handsome man later!

As Helian Wei Wei was lost in her reverie, she heard a fruity yet cold laugh, “A handsome man?”
