Chapter 1028 - 1028 The Show Isn't Over Yet
Jun Xiaoyao's wager was absolutely a temptation,hitting Chi Hongyu right where it hurt.
He had come here for two reasons.
First,he genuinely wanted to marry a beautiful bride.
Second,he genuinely wanted to wash away the humiliation of the past.
So Jun Xiaoyao's proposal was a huge temptation for him.
"Sir,you……" Tu Shan Chunchun wanted to say something but held back.
To put it bluntly,wasn't Jun Xiaoyao just using them as stakes in a bet?
What if Jun Xiaoyao lost? Wouldn't they end up having to marry someone else?
"Relax,don't you trust me?" Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
He admitted he might be a bit of a scoundrel.
But never a complete one.
And he would never do something so brainless as handing a woman who liked him over to someone else.
He couldn't stop the Tu Shan Five Beauties from liking him.
He might not necessarily end up in any wonderful relationship with them either.
But he would absolutely never push the Tu Shan Five Beauties into another man's arms with his own hands.
Giving away a woman like that was the kind of idiotic,spineless behavior.
Only those cuckold enthusiasts who enjoyed being humiliated would do something like that.
Jun Xiaoyao was confident he had no such peculiar taste.
Nor did he have any habit of playing matchmaker for others.
The reason Jun Xiaoyao dared to bet was because he was one hundred percent certain of the outcome.
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words.
Tu Shan Chunchun was completely at ease.
She had always had absolute confidence in Jun Xiaoyao.
Watching this scene,Chi Hongyu's expression grew darker and heavier.
He brought out several supreme treasures.
Such as the immortality elixir,celestial gold divine iron,and so on.
But Jun Xiaoyao couldn't even be bothered to glance at them.
He simply didn't care.
"Please,can any of this stuff compare to even a single hair on our bodies?" Tu Shan Chunchun sniffed disdainfully.
She was backing Jun Xiaoyao up.
"Do you really think you don't even have the ability to push the young master back a single step? If that's truly the case,which of us five sisters would ever be willing to marry you?"
Tu Shan Wanwan also started chiming in.
Hearing these words,Chi Hongyu's face went stiff and cold.
He had come today to wipe away his past shame.
Yet instead,he found himself humiliated once again.
The tens of thousands of onlookers also wore strange expressions,watching the spectacle unfold.
"Could it be that today,Chi Hongyu is about to repeat history?"
"Enough. You want to bet,I'll play along. Can you refuse what I'm about to bring out next?" Chi Hongyu snapped.
He was getting hot-headed with anger.
And Chi Hongyu asked himself,he wasn't claiming he could defeat Jun Xiaoyao.
But pushing him back one step,surely he could manage that?
If he couldn't even do that,Chi Hongyu would lose all respect for himself.
He produced a scroll of dark gold,like a sheet of gold foil,ancient and understated,yet carrying a sense of weathered history through the ages.
It was clearly something of extreme antiquity.
"This is……"
Jun Xiaoyao already knew full well what it was,but still chose to ask the obvious.
"The Nine Heavenly Tomes. Have you heard of them?" Chi Hongyu said with a cold laugh.
The moment those words fell,countless beings were stunned.
"That's actually one of the Nine Heavenly Tomes!"
"Weren't they said to have been lost in the depths of forgotten history?"
"I've heard the Nine Heavenly Tomes are connected to an astonishing secret. Gather all nine,and you can glimpse a path never seen before!"
When Chi Hongyu produced the Heavenly Tome,every being present was shaken.
Compared to the Heavenly Tomes,everything else,the immortality elixir,celestial gold,quasi-emperor weapons,didn't even amount to a fart.
Not that those things had no value,but compared to the Heavenly Tomes,there was simply no comparison.
Because the Nine Heavenly Tomes were far too rare. Across the entire myriad heavens and universe,there were only nine in existence.
It could be said that to wipe away his shame,Chi Hongyu had truly gone all in.
"Not bad,this has indeed caught my interest." Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
"Let me see what you're made of."
Without any further words.
Chi Hongyu made his move directly.
He raised his hand and reached forward,raging flames swept across the land,scorching the heavens.
Even the void itself was burned to collapse.
The Scarlet Owl was an ominous bird born from catastrophic fire,commanding the ultimate laws of the fire dao.
Facing Chi Hongyu's technique,Jun Xiaoyao's body trembled slightly.
A full twenty layers of mana immunity divine rings enveloped his entire body.
No flame could come anywhere near him.
"The technique of Mo Jie,Son of the Emperor."
Pu Kui Celestial Maiden and An Lan,Son of the Emperor,both flickered their gazes.
"Three Realms Six Paths,Burning House Buddha's Hell!"
Seeing this,Chi Hongyu held nothing back and directly unleashed the ancestral art of the Scarlet Owl clan.
In an instant.
Heaven and earth seemed to transform into a vast blazing sea of fire.
It was as if countless beings were wailing and struggling within the flames.
The entire three realms seemed like a burning house,with all living creatures suffering torment within.
This was the ancestral art of the Scarlet Owl clan,immensely powerful.
Like a prison of fire,it confined Jun Xiaoyao within,burning and refining him at every moment.
And this technique was further empowered by the fire laws within Chi Hongyu's body,multiplying its might.
"What an incredibly powerful technique!"
Some of the top prodigies present wore extremely grave expressions.
After being trained by the Immortal King,Chi Hongyu's strength had indeed undergone a qualitative transformation.
"Worthy of being the disciple of the Scarlet Owl King. His current strength is no weaker than any of us Seven Little Emperors." An Lan,Son of the Emperor,remarked with admiration.
Facing Chi Hongyu's ultimate move.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained as calm as ever.
He activated the devouring laws within his body.
This was not the technique of Shi Shen,Son of the Emperor,but rather a law Jun Xiaoyao had comprehended himself after deconstructing and studying it.
A massive black hole appeared.
Countless dark devouring dao laws spread and intertwined around it.
The overwhelming sea of fire and the burning house prison were all swallowed into it.
"That is……the technique of Shi Shen,Son of the Emperor!"
Both An Lan,Son of the Emperor,and Pu Kui Celestial Maiden were deeply shaken.
It was one thing for Jun Xiaoyao to use Mo Jie,Son of the Emperor's technique.
But now even Shi Shen,Son of the Emperor's technique had been brought out.
"How is this possible?"
Even Chi Hongyu was somewhat dazed.
How could his ancestral art be broken so easily?
Whoosh!
Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward,casually sweeping his hand outward. In the void,an ancient stele materialized,shattering the emptiness.
It was precisely the scattered strike from the War God Catalogue,the War Stele Strike.
Bang!
Chi Hongyu was sent flying hard,his chest churning with qi and blood.
Jun Xiaoyao stomped down once more.
In the void,ripples of space spread outward in waves,and fine spatial cracks appeared one after another.
Also a scattered strike from the War God Catalogue,the Void Shockwave!
Pfft!
Chi Hongyu finally couldn't hold it back and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Jun Xiaoyao's figure instantly flashed above Chi Hongyu,planting a foot on his chest and stomping him down,slamming him hard into the mountain peak.
Chi Hongyu was struck so hard he vomited blood.
"Hand over the Heavenly Tome."
Jun Xiaoyao stood with his foot on Chi Hongyu,his tone indifferent.
Chi Hongyu had no doubt that if he hesitated even for a moment,Jun Xiaoyao would simply stomp his body to pieces.
"Take it!"
Blood trickled from the corner of Chi Hongyu's mouth,his lips bitten through.
He had no choice but to hand the soul tome over to Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao accepted the soul tome and only then lifted his foot,smiling. "Accepting defeat gracefully. That's actually admirable."
Chi Hongyu was practically seething with rage.
Did he have any choice but to accept defeat?
If he refused,he'd lose his life.
He knew full well that Jun Xiaoyao killed without batting an eye,not even hesitating for a moment when he killed Mo Jie,Son of the Emperor.
The many gazes present all turned toward Jun Xiaoyao with undisguised covetousness.
After all,the Heavenly Tome was an absolute supreme treasure,and there was probably no one who wouldn't covet it.
Although obtaining the soul tome in public might stir up some trouble.
But Jun Xiaoyao had the War God Academy behind him,with the Divine Turtle King and the Luo King watching over him.
And there was also an immortal being who,in the eyes of outsiders,remained shrouded in mystery.
Jun Xiaoyao was confident that no one would dare set their sights on him.
"It seems today's bride selection is no longer in any doubt."
"Five beauties sharing one husband,this is truly an outcome no one could have anticipated."
"Aren't you forgetting someone?"
Many beings were whispering among themselves,the result being something none of them had expected.
And at that moment,Jun Xiaoyao suddenly felt a slight burning sensation at his wrist.
It was the dark hexagram mark,scorching hot.
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze shifted toward the distance,sensing a dark aura of the same origin.
"Sure enough,the show isn't over yet."
