Immortal God of War

Chapter 627 - 608: Bet_1

Qin Feiyang laughed. "Don’t panic, I’m here."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mei’s spirit was greatly settled. The next moment, the two vanished without a trace; naturally, they had entered the ancient castle.

SPLAT!

The venom spilled down, and black smoke immediately billowed up over an area several hundred meters wide. The black smoke also carried a pungent, nauseating stench!

「Inside the Ancient Castle.」

Ren Wushuang and the others were not distracted by the commotion outside and remained focused on their cultivation. No one even opened their eyes to greet them or ask about their arrival. They knew that with their meager strength, they couldn’t help at all. It was better to concentrate on their cultivation than to worry needlessly.

But as soon as Qin Feiyang entered the ancient castle, he sensed an extremely powerful aura. This aura was approaching that of a Two-star War Ancestor!

He immediately looked towards the source of the aura. It was the Wolf King!

The Wolf King was still lying on the altar, its eyes slightly narrowed, as if it had fallen into a deep, unprecedentedly serene sleep. Furthermore, its fur emitted a hazy glow, and its body was suffused with a divine aura, making it look like a celestial beast, exceptionally majestic.

"What is it doing?" Shen Mei, of course, also noticed the change in the Wolf King, her face filled with astonishment.

"It should be a sign of a breakthrough," Qin Feiyang whispered.

"So soon?" Shen Mei was shocked.

"Fast?" Qin Feiyang laughed. "If I remember correctly, it’s been almost half a year since it broke through to One-star War Ancestor."

"Isn’t that fast enough already? Look at Murong Xiong and Dongfang Wuheng. They stepped into One-star War Ancestor years ago, but even now, they still haven’t broken through to Two-star War Ancestor. You guys are truly monsters!" Shen Mei transmitted telepathically, her eyes filled with a sense of helplessness.

Judging by Qin Feiyang’s tone, he didn’t seem very satisfied with the Wolf King’s progress. He’s clearly trying to be infuriating!

However, the Wolf King’s breakthrough was definitely a cause for great celebration for everyone. Because this way, Spirit State would finally have a Two-star War Ancestor in its ranks.

Suddenly, it seemed Shen Mei thought of something. She turned to Qin Feiyang and asked, "By the way, why do you want to subdue that Black Dragon Snake?"

"A secret," Qin Feiyang said with a mysterious smile.

Shen Mei rolled her eyes.

「Meanwhile, outside.」

Seeing Qin Feiyang suddenly disappear, the Black Dragon Snake was extremely furious. It glared at Dong Zhengyang and the others, roaring, "Speak! Where did that human go?"

Dong Zhengyang’s eyes flickered. "What’s in it for us if I tell you?" he asked.

"You dare to bargain with this Emperor? You’re truly courting death!" The Black Dragon Snake’s massive body trembled, and an overwhelming, ferocious might pressed down on them.

In that instant, they felt as if they had been plunged into a ten-thousand-year-old ice cavern, a chill piercing their entire bodies!

Murong Xiong immediately said, "He’s in an ancient castle."

Dong Zhengyang roared, "Murong Xiong, what are you doing? Who told you to butt in?"

Shen Long and Jiang Wei also glared at him furiously. Only Dongfang Wuheng remained silent.

Murong Xiong immediately yelled back, "Can’t you see? He has abandoned us to escape alone! Why should we care about him? Do we have nothing better to do?"

"What a joke!" Dong Zhengyang and the others looked at him with contempt. "’He would escape alone?’ Only a petty person like you would do such a thing."

"You... you’re all incorrigibly stubborn! Believe it or not, if Qin Feiyang sells you out, you’ll probably still be counting the money for him!" Murong Xiong was so furious he practically had smoke coming out of his head.

"If I were to sell anyone, I’d sell you first." Just at this time, a light laugh sounded.

Before his voice faded, Qin Feiyang appeared out of thin air. Shen Mei, however, didn’t come out. Qin Feiyang had asked her to temporarily remain in the ancient castle to guard the Wolf King. A breakthrough is a critical moment. Any disturbance could lead to failure, so all potential risks had to be eliminated beforehand.

"Hmph!" Murong Xiong turned his head to look at Qin Feiyang, snorted, and said, "I thought you were hiding inside, too scared to come out!"

Qin Feiyang laughed. "Although my strength is weak, I’m still much better than some who are as timid as mice."

"Who are you calling timid as a mouse?" Murong Xiong’s gaze turned cold.

"Did I get it wrong? That little insect just quivered, and you obediently revealed my hiding place. I just don’t understand how a dignified War Ancestor can be so cowardly." Qin Feiyang shook his head, his face a mask of disappointment.

But this statement not only drove Murong Xiong mad, it completely offended the Black Dragon Snake.

"Human, who are you calling a little insect? Say that again if you dare!" the Black Dragon Snake gritted its teeth, staring fixedly at Qin Feiyang, its voice cold and bone-chilling.

Qin Feiyang raised his head to meet the Black Dragon Snake’s gaze and laughed. "Alright, I’ll say it again: are you going to submit to me?"

"Bastard! This Emperor will tear you to shreds and grind your bones to dust!" the Black Dragon Snake roared. Its massive body trembled, and wisps of black flame began to rise from its surface. This was its Battle Intent!

Fierce Beasts generally don’t use Battle Intent, as their powerful physical bodies are their best weapons. For one to use Battle Intent meant it was truly enraged.

With a deafening BANG, its giant tail whipped high and then slammed down violently, stirring up furious gales.

WHOOSH!

Qin Feiyang dared not hesitate in the slightest. He executed Phantom Step and swiftly dodged to the side. He had barely moved when the giant tail slammed down, obliterating the afterimage he left behind. The earth itself split open, revealing a massive fissure!

"So much for your arrogance!" the Black Dragon Snake sneered, believing it had killed the real Qin Feiyang.

He’s finally dead. Meanwhile, Murong Xiong and Dongfang Wuheng also breathed a sigh of relief. A hint of mockery then crept into their eyes, as if ridiculing Qin Feiyang for overestimating his own abilities.

But suddenly, a voice, tinged with lingering fear, reached their ears. "That was close."

The Black Dragon Snake and Murong Xiong stiffened. Hm? That voice... They simultaneously whipped their heads towards the sound and saw Qin Feiyang standing dozens of meters away, patting his chest as if still shaken.

He’s not dead? Profound disbelief flooded the eyes of the two men and the beast.

Meanwhile, Dong Zhengyang and the other two also heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Qin Feiyang apparently struck by the giant tail earlier had terrified them. Thankfully, it was just an afterimage.

"Phew!" Qin Feiyang took a deep breath and looked up at the Black Dragon Snake, smiling lightly. "From the look on your face, you seem quite disappointed that you couldn’t kill me!"

The Black Dragon Snake shook its giant head. "Impossible! You’re merely a Nine-Star War Emperor. How can you possess such speed?"

Qin Feiyang laughed. "Haven’t you ever heard of Perfect Battle Methods?"

"What?" The Black Dragon Snake’s massive body trembled. This human actually mastered a Perfect Battle Method? Heavens! Just who is he?

Its eyes suddenly blazed with a keen light. Its breathing quickened as it asked, "If this Emperor follows you, will you also bestow a Perfect Battle Method upon this Emperor?"

"That..." Qin Feiyang hesitated for a moment, then laughed. "Well, that will depend on your performance. If your performance satisfies me, what’s to stop me from giving you one?"

"A promise then?" the Black Dragon Snake pressed.

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"Wait a moment. Let this Emperor consider it carefully." With that said, the Black Dragon Snake sank into a state of conflicted deliberation.

"It’s settled just like that?" Dong Zhengyang and the others exchanged bewildered glances. They had initially thought that for Qin Feiyang to subdue the Black Dragon Snake would require immense effort, perhaps even proving impossible. Never had they expected it to yield so quickly. This fellow really has his ways!

However, the expressions of Murong Xiong and Dongfang Wuheng turned somewhat grim.

Murong Xiong transmitted telepathically, "We absolutely cannot let him succeed."

"I know. Qin Feiyang himself and that wolf cub are already troublesome enough. If he also subdues this powerful Black Dragon Snake, killing him will become even more difficult." As Dongfang Wuheng reached this point in his thoughts, an idea struck him. He quickly transmitted to the Black Dragon Snake, "Don’t believe him! He’s deceiving you!"

"Deceiving me?" Flames of rage instantly erupted in the Black Dragon Snake’s eyes.

"Exactly. Perfect Battle Methods are exceedingly rare. It’s already incredible that he possesses one; how could he possibly have more? Moreover, I understand him very well. He simply doesn’t possess a Perfect Battle Method suitable for your cultivation," Dongfang Wuheng transmitted.

"Damnable bastard! He truly deserves a death by a thousand cuts!" The Black Dragon Snake seethed with rage, its entire being radiating a murderous aura. With a resonant CLANG, its ’Dragon Scales’ shot through the air, hurtling towards Qin Feiyang.

"Hm?" This sudden turn of events caught Qin Feiyang completely off guard, forcing him to retreat hastily. At the same time, he was utterly perplexed. Hadn’t the Black Dragon Snake already been tempted? Why would it suddenly attack me now?

"You dare deceive this Emperor! Today, this Emperor will ensure you die without a burial place!"

The Black Dragon Snake was already in a frenzy. Its giant tail slammed down towards Qin Feiyang’s rear, cutting off his escape route and forcing him to confront the ’Dragon Scales’ head-on.

But those words were like a sudden awakening for Qin Feiyang. How did the Black Dragon Snake know I was deceiving it? Undoubtedly, someone must have secretly instigated the Black Dragon Snake.

Qin Feiyang glanced at Dong Zhengyang and the others. Dong Zhengyang, Shen Long, and Jiang Wei all looked startled, evidently caught off guard by the Black Dragon Snake’s abrupt actions.

Murong Xiong and Dongfang Wuheng, however, wore expressions of concern. Logically, if they were worried about his safety, that would be normal. But in Qin Feiyang’s view, this was highly problematic. These two wished for nothing more than his immediate death; how could they genuinely be worried about him? Therefore, Qin Feiyang was instantly certain that these two must have been scheming in secret.

Just you wait. I’ll make you cry sooner or later. Qin Feiyang sneered inwardly. He looked up at the incoming ’Dragon Scales’, a cold glint flickering in his eyes. "Since the soft approach doesn’t work, I’ll have to use force!"

With a wave of his hand, Blue Snow appeared. He then grabbed Blue Snow and, instead of retreating, advanced to meet the ’Dragon Scales’.

"Stop!" The expressions of Dong Zhengyang and the other two changed dramatically. In their eyes, Qin Feiyang’s action was tantamount to suicide.

"Quite courageous!" the Black Dragon Snake boomed. "If you can defeat this Emperor, then even without a Perfect Battle Method, this Emperor might consider following you. But are you capable? Hahaha..." The Black Dragon Snake roared with laughter, its eyes filled with utter contempt.

Qin Feiyang said, "Let’s make a wager. If I lose, I’ll let you swallow me whole. But if I win by some chance, you will pledge lifelong loyalty to me."

The Black Dragon Snake was stunned. Betting his life? Is this brat out of his mind?

"Are you scared?" Qin Feiyang mocked. "It seems you lack confidence in your own strength!"

"What a joke! There’s nothing in this world that this Emperor doesn’t dare to do! Since you’re so eager to become this Emperor’s food, then this Emperor will take that bet!" The Black Dragon Snake gave a cold, arrogant laugh. This puny Nine-Star War Emperor dares to make such a bet. If I, a Two-star War Ancestor Beast Emperor, were to back down, wouldn’t that be utterly humiliating?
