The Treasure House Master and Calculation Pavilion Master both had a solemn look in their eyes, ready to speak.
However, at this moment, the coquettishly behaved Gambling House Master proactively uttered:
“Dear guest, don’t forget one thing, you chose to trade with me in the format of a bet, and the bet of the three Pavilion Masters is just a part of our transaction.
If you win all three bets, well and good. But if you lose even one, I win, and your flesh and blood will be mine. Think it carefully over, dear guest.”
Obviously, the pressure of Shen Yuan putting forth two Earthly Destroyer Divine Powers was too great, forcing the Gambling House Master to make a threatening remark.
“So this is what’s called a house advantage?”
Shen Yuan chuckled lightly, disregarding the Gambling House Master’s threat. With a slight tap of his index finger on the gambling table, he said casually: “Proceed.”
“I’ll go!”
The gigantic, fleshy mountain-like Treasure House Master voluntarily stood up from his seat, the entire Gambling House seemed to tremble slightly with his movement.
The Treasure House Master, with his pea-sized eyes, had a sly glint flash across them.
“I won’t play mind games like that bookworm by using treasures I’ve accumulated over the years from the Ghost Market to compete with you; I’ll only choose one.
Similarly, you can also only choose one treasure.”
“If your treasure can break the one I choose, then I will willingly concede. But if you cannot break it, then you lose.
You will have to fulfill your bet, handing over your flesh and blood along with your treasure.”
“No problem!”
Shen Yuan readily agreed.
The Treasure House Master burst out laughing, his eyes filled with a sense of triumph.
“Alright, the treasure I choose is – the Treasure House!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
As one of the four pavilions in the Ghost Market, the Treasure House certainly was a rare treasure. But claim its value, would be absolute nonsense.
The treasures in the collection of the Treasure House Master, many vastly surpassed the value of the Treasure House.
However, the Treasure House possessed one attribute that was unparalleled by any other treasure. It was that the Treasure House was part of the Ghost Market, its essence was almost identical to the four Pavilion Masters.
To destroy the Treasure House, the complexity was equivalent to breaking the defense of the Ghost Market itself, which was enough to deter the majority of offensive treasures.
Furthermore, the Ghost Market had the characteristic of self-restoration. As long as the Treasure House Master connected with the Ghost Market to continuously repair the Treasure House, Shen Yuan, regardless of his methods, would never be able to destroy the Treasure House.
The other three Pavilion Masters immediately realized the crux of the matter, each revealing a strange smile across their faces.
The space inside the Gambling House began to expand constantly, subsequently swallowing the entire Treasure House.
Once again, the gigantic, bejeweled building appeared before Shen Yuan’s eyes, but its robust defense which was linked to the Ghost Market was enough to make one balk.
“Dear guest, give it a try!”
The Treasure House Master watched Shen Yuan with malicious intent.
Shen Yuan’s gaze swept over the Treasure House, his face expressionless.
The Treasure House Master’s seemingly loophole-finding strategy just played into Shen Yuan’s hands to some extent.
If you talk about unmatched killing power in this world, who could outdo a Present Immortal Sword?
With a flicker of Divine Sense, a burst of white light suddenly rose from the Storage Ring, illuminating the dark gambling house into daylight.
The four Pavilion Masters of the Ghost Market had hair standing on end, with a massive wave of fear surging in their hearts.
They tried various means to glimpse what was in that white light, but the Morning Glow Purple Qi, which dispelled the evil, appeared on the Darkness- Light Sword in the next second.
A purple dragon carrying sharp Sword Qi pierced their pupils. The Treasure House Master’s mung bean-sized eyes shattered, and blood gushed out like a fountain from the eye sockets.
“Damn it!!!”
The other three Pavilion Masters didn’t fare any better, as their eyeballs are covered in cracks.
The Immortal Sword, possessing the qi that dispels evil, naturally suppresses these ghost objects. It’s fortunate that they only had their eyes burst for rashly spying.
If Shen Yuan’s Earth Fiend Sword Art was only a First Peek Basic Access, along with the further awakening Darkness-Light Sword, it could take this opportunity to kill all four Pavilion Masters.
The Darkness-Light Sword unreservedly pierced the entire Treasure Pavilion, countless treasures scattered in the explosive rumble, the Ghost Market’s defense seemed nothing in front of the Immortal sword.
Broken pieces of the Treasure Pavilion gave rise to ghost fog. The Ghost Market, by instinct, was attempting to repair the pavilion. But at that moment, that Candle Dragon engraved on the Darkness-Light Sword hilt slowly opened its mouth.
A large amount of Ghost fog started to surge towards the Darkness-Light Sword, the broken Treasure Pavilion too turned into ghost fog, and within them, shrill wails of terrifying ghost objects could be heard.
The four Pavilion Masters were completely dumbstruck, even Shen Yuan did not anticipate the present situation.
Shen Yuan knew of the Darkness-Light Sword Dragon’s engraving showcasing the Yin Chill Field.
However, in his possession of the Darkness-Light sword, he had not figured out how to instigate that Yin Chill Field.
The current scene of the Darkness-Light sword actively devouring the Ghost fog of the Ghost Market made Shen Yuan immediately realize that the Yin Chill Field might require initial absorption before it could be released.
The Ghost fog present now is just within the absorption standards of the Darkness-Light sword.
A large amount of Ghost fog quickly gathered around the Darkness-Light Sword, and the violently surging fog turned into a storm that enveloped the entire Ghost Market.
In the howling storm, the shattered Treasure Pavilion taciturnly turned into fog and was completely devoured by the Darkness-Light Sword.
The Ghost Market, an alien form of life, finally reacted and began to withdraw the Ghost fog that was trying to repair the Treasure Pavilion, and the stubborn Darkness-Light Sword continued to forcefully rob.
Eventually, in this unique confrontation, the entire shattered Treasure Pavilion was abandoned by the Ghost Market, and the rising black fog was engulfed by the Darkness-Light Sword.
The Ghost fog began to thin gradually, and within a few breaths, it was entirely absorbed by the Darkness-Light Sword.
The once brilliant and dazzling Treasure Pavilion was gone, leaving behind only ruins and jewels scattered in the dust.
The Bronze Ancient Sword, appearing to be satiated, staggered back to Shen Yuan’s side.
Shen Yuan caught the Immortal Sword in his left hand, and an instant later, the sound of wailing spirits seemed to resonate in his ear, and another side of the Darkness-Light Sword was gradually revealing itself to him.
At the connection between the sword scabbard and blade, a speck of mottled rust fell off, turning into flying ashes and dissolving in the air.
The Treasure House Master, with freshly regenerated eyes, was staring blankly at the Immortal Sword in Shen Yuan’s left hand, disbelief flooding his stunned expression.
“A Sect-suppression Taoist Device? No, no, no!
Even a Taoist Device could not destroy the Treasure Pavilion in such a broken state, let alone rob a part of the ghost object’s essence from the Ghost Market’s entity. This is certainly not just a Taoist Device!”
“Could it be, this is the legendary Immortal Artifact? One of the unparalleled Immortal Swords lost in history?”
Inside the Gambling Pavilion, there was another moment of silence.
The shock brought by this gamble was even more significant than the two Earthly Destroyer Divine Skills.
In the last Spirit Energy Tidal Surge age, the Earthly Destroyer Divine Skills were albeit rare, but one could still hear some rumors. Even the Ghost Market had once mastered the lesser Divine Skills derived from the eight Earthly Destroyer techniques.
But the legends of the Immortal Sword had disappeared for tens of thousands of years with the Great Schism.
At the gambling table, Shen Yuan tapped the table with his index finger and declared indifferently:
“Next!”
