Ninth in The World - Chapter 210

Chapter 210






"Fret not . This is the Five Continent Square, so I would never kill you here . However, killing members of the Ren Family comes with dire consequences . I will be waiting for you in the Five Continent City forever . " Ren Hai's aura became stronger as he spoke, causing Di Jiu to slowly retreat .

Di Jiu scolded himself inwardly . If Ren Hai seized his ring quickly, there would be no point in detaining him .

When he saw that Ren Hai dared not steal his ring, Di Jiu said helplessly, "You're an expert on the Soul Realm . Aren't you ashamed that you are using your aura to oppress an Essence Soul Realm cultivator like me?"

Di Jiu's voice was very loud . There were many people on the Five Continent Square, so someone quickly saw what was going on .

A few cultivators had already recognized Di Jiu as the Young Master Red Embellishment . After all, the red embellished saber Di Jiu was carrying on his back was too eye-catching .

"I know . That is Ren Hai, who ranks 106th on the Sea Roll . " Despite the soft mummers, Di Jiu still heard everything clearly thanks to his powerful Spiritual Force .

"Why would a Sea Roll Expert provoke the Young Master Red Embellishment? The Young Master Red Embellishment currently ranks ninth on the Potential Roll . He has a 50 percent chance of entering the Sea Roll in the future . "

"Do you know how the name Young Master Red Embellishment came about?"

"Do tell . "

"The Young Master Red Embellishment killed the entire Spirit Blaze Team by the Herald Night Lake…"

"That is a well-known fact . "

"Ren Hai is related to the team leader of the Spirit Blaze Team by blood . Do you understand now?"





…

As the crowd grew bigger, the cause of this situation became clearer .

The cultivators quickly discovered why Sea Roll Expert Ren Hai wanted to detain the Young Master Red Embellishment, who was only at the Essence Soul Realm . The reason the Young Master Red Embellishment was so well-known was because he had killed Ren Hai's blood-related brother by the Herald Night Lake .

This kind of personal grudge took place every day on the Five Continent Square . Usually, no one would intervene . So long as the rules of the Five Continent Square were not violated, even the deacon of the Five Continent Square would not do anything .

"I would never bully you simply because I'm on the Sea Roll . I will give you a chance, even though you killed my blood-related brother . So long as you're able to fend off a move of mine on the battle arena, this matter will be considered closed . Of course, you must still give up the Spirit Stones you obtained from Baifei . If you don't, you better stay in the Five Continent City forever . " Ren Hai's tone was cold .

Di Jiu was enlightened . This fella had not come there to avenge Ren Bafei . He must have heard that Di Jiu had gained a hefty harvest on the Five Continent Dao Pagoda and come to rob him .


Logically speaking, this fella should have waited to commit a highway robbery when Di Jiu left the Five Continent City . Why was Ren Hai so impatient?

Di Jiu soon understood . Ren Hai must have investigated him and discovered that the lease of the cave abode Di Jiu had rented in the Five Continent Pavilion had yet to reach its end . Ren Hai thought that Di Jiu would not be leaving the Five Continent City in the near future . Hence, as Di Jiu was wandering around the Five Continent Square, he had seized this opportunity .

As he thought of this, Di Jiu's face paled even more . "It would be a miracle if I survived on the life-and-death arena," he said . "Who's the crazy one here? You are a Pioneer Sea Realm cultivator, yet you want me to head to the life-and-death arena and battle!"

Ren Hai laughed . "Did you not hear clearly? I spoke about the Five Continent City's battle arena, not the life-and-death arena . I am a Pioneer Sea Realm cultivator, so I won't degrade myself by challenging a mere Essence Soul Realm cultivator like you and heading to the life-and-death arena . "

"What if I could fend off a move of yours?" Di Jiu looked as if he was heavily oppressed by Ren Hai's aura, yet his tone was unyielding .

His gaze was fixed on Ren Hai's ring greedily .





"Ha ha…" Ren Hai laughed . He had truly never met a greedy cultivator like Di Jiu before .

A mere Essence Soul Realm weakling had actually dared use his Spiritual Force to target his ring . He evidently coveted Ren Hai's ring . The ignorant were indeed fearless . "If you fend off a move of mine without sustaining any injuries, I will give you my ring . However, if you lose, you will have to give your ring to me . "

It was exactly as Di Jiu had guessed . Ren Hai knew that Di Jiu had obtained nearly 20 million high-grade Spirit Stones in the Five Continent Dao Pagoda . He desperately needed some Spirit Stones . Plus, it was perfectly justified for him to provoke Di Jiu . That was why he had gone there to get Di Jiu's Spirit Stones .

His Spiritual Force had already scanned Di Jiu once . There was only one ring on Di Jiu's hands .

Di Jiu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists before he said, "Alright . I will gamble . "

When they heard that Di Jiu and Ren Hai were gambling their rings, numerous cultivators rushed over . Under normal circumstances, no cultivator would use their ring as a betting chip . Not unless it was a life-and-death situation .

Many people thought that Di Jiu was young and craved respect . That was why he had fallen into Ren Hai's trap and was currently heading to the battle arena with Ren Hai .

There were many battle arenas in the Five Continent City, in both the Five Continent Pavilion and the Prophecy Pavilion . When one could obtain a certain amount of Spirit Stones by winning a certain number of matches, it was considered an arena competition .

Ren Hai and Di Jiu could still use the space of the Five Continent Pavilion's battle arena to fight .

Although this was a one-move match, the battle arena was filled with people by the time the two of them arrived . These people all wanted to see if the new-rising Young Master Red Embellishment would be able to fend off a move by Ren Hai, who ranked 106th on the Sea Roll .

"The Young Master Red Embellishment is really anxious . The cultivation levels of the perfected Essence Soul Realm and the perfected Pioneer Sea Realm differ significantly . This move is very dangerous . "

"This battle is not very fair . "

Thanks to the difference between his strength and Ren Hai's strength, which was way too big, Di Jiu was quite popular . Nearly 90 percent of the cultivators believed that Di Jiu would not be able to fend off Ren Hai's move .





"That's not quite true . The Young Master Red Embellishment has killed seven cultivators of the same cultivation realm with one sword . He also ranks ninth on the Potential Roll…"

"Actually, fairness is not an issue when it comes to this battle . The Young Master Red Embellishment is at a disadvantageous position in terms of fighting . However, Ren Hai is at a disadvantage regarding the bet . How could an Essence Soul Realm cultivator's ring compare to the ring of a Sea Roll Expert?"

As Di Jiu landed on the battle arena, his surrounding Essence Soul Realm aura surged . He was obviously ready to do his best .

"Are you ready?" Ren Hai stood on the battle arena and looked at Di Jiu, who was standing before him, as he spoke calmly . He was not as nervous as Di Jiu, as he was not treating this battle seriously .

He was using taking revenge for his cousin as an excuse . However, as a Sea Roll Expert, he would not sneak an attack on an Essence Soul Realm cultivator like Di Jiu . He still wanted to save some face .

This match had been instigated by Di Jiu, who had repeatedly used his Spiritual Force to scan Ren Hai's ring, causing Ren Hai to actively bet the ring . To Di Jiu, this was a performance he could not make any mistakes in .

"Do it . I don't believe I'm unable to fend off even one move!" hollered Di Jiu as his surrounding Quintessential Essence surged even more .

Ren Hai snorted coldly as he extracted his sword .

As Ren Hai took out the sword, Di Jiu took a step back unconsciously . Meanwhile, Ren Hai took a step forward and slashed out with the sword in his hand, creating a sliver beam .

To the naked eye, this silver beam seemed to directly cross the spatial distance between him and Di Jiu . Then, Di Jiu's Quintessential Essence barrier was split open .

As he let out an angry roar, the saber in Di Jiu's hand transformed into a saber flare that lashed out .

When the saber flare and silver beam collided, the Quintessential Essence explosions created were shockingly powerful .

Crack! The saber in Di Jiu's hand cracked into two . The momentum of the silver beam did not stop . Instead, it landed on Di Jiu's chest .

A bloody mist exploded as a two-foot long wound appeared on Di Jiu's chest . Di Jiu opened his mouth and spat out blood, flying backwards towards the edge of the arena . He would have been sent out of the arena if it had not been for the restrictions present there .

There was a collective sigh from the spectators . Everyone could see that Di Jiu had used his full strength, yet his move was useless against Ren Hai .

Ren Hai looked at Di Jiu with a cold, mocking expression . It was truly ignorant for a mere ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator to say that they could face a move from him, considering that he was a Sea Roll Cultivator .

Di Jiu's face was extremely pale . He silently took off his ring and threw it towards Ren Hai before turning around to leave .

It was not unexpected that Di Jiu had failed to fend off Ren Hai's move . After all, it would be no easy feat for a ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator to fend off a move from a cultivator on the Sea Roll .

Huan Mingzi, who was standing a fair distance away, watched as Di Jiu retreated after getting injured . He nodded his head . Perhaps he had not chosen the wrong candidate . Di Jiu had actually made Ren Hai actively ask that they use their rings as betting chips, which was not easy .

In his opinion, Di Jiu would not be able to fend off Ren Hai's blow . However, it was completely impossible for one of Ren Hai's moves to split open Di Jiu's chest and create a bloody wound . Di Jiu's performance had been perfect . There had been no flaws whatsoever .

Di Jiu's and Ren Hai's one-move gamble had ended quickly . Most people were not complaining that Di Jiu had been unable to fend off Ren Hai's move . They actually appreciated Ren Hai's magnanimousness as a Sea Roll Expert . After all, given the circumstances, he could easily have killed Di Jiu if he'd attacked again . That was not what Ren Hai had done, however .

No one knew that Di Jiu had let Ren Hai injure him . Even if Ren Hai attacked him again, he would definitely remain unharmed .

It was Shu Haolan, not Ren Hai, that Di Jiu was afraid of .

…

After leaving the battle arena, Di Jiu was too lazy to return to the cave abode . Instead, he left the Five Continent City swiftly . When he was outside the city, he took out a flying Spirit Weapon and walked away .

He needed to find a place where he could enter reclusive cultivation . Ren Hai was not the only person targeting him in this area .
