Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 12820 I want your treasure
“Humph, this brat is so ridiculously naive! He thinks he is invincible just because he won a small competition? He is so arrogant!” A fair-faced young man waved his fist angrily, as if Ling Xiao’s arrogance directly touched his admiration for his idol.

There was a gleam of unwillingness to admit defeat in his eyes, as if he wanted to turn this anger into substance and smash it hard at Ling Xiao.

"Li Xuan, why are you so excited?" Next to the fair-skinned boy was a girl with a reddish complexion named Hongyue. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, her healthy look from the inside out made people want to take a few more glances.

There was a hint of rationality and calmness in Hongyue's eyes, which formed a sharp contrast with Li Xuan beside her.

"Hongyue, you're not right? Do you really think he can beat the White Saint Envoy?" Li Xuan's eyes widened, looking at Hongyue in disbelief. He didn't expect that at this critical moment, Hongyue would hold a completely different view from him. He felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart, as if his faith was challenged at this moment.

After all, he has always liked Hongyue, and their relationship has always been very close. People outside say that they are a perfect match.

But this time, Hongyue actually had different ideas from him, which made him feel a sense of crisis.

"Don't get too excited. I just think that we all had prejudices against him before, thinking that he was just a nobody and not worth mentioning. However, the facts surprised all of us. Not only did he beat the young talent from the temple, but he also made us bystanders feel ashamed. This time, we really need to be more cautious, because he is not an ordinary young man."

Hong Yue said calmly, her voice soft but firm: "Not only that, this young man has an even more amazing identity - he is a disciple of the Upper House of Tianxia. It is said that he is gifted and extremely powerful. It took him less than a month to be promoted from the Lower House to the Upper House. Such a speed is enough to prove his extraordinaryness."

Hongyue paused and continued, "Moreover, he once defeated Ou Luan, who was ranked fifth in the upper house of Tianxiahui. What kind of person is Ou Luan? He is a leader of the younger generation of Tianxiahui, with great strength and rich experience. The fact that he was defeated by this young man is enough to show that this young man has extraordinary strength and wisdom. If you underestimate him, you may repeat the same mistake and be slapped hard by reality again."

The fair-skinned young man's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure. He snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, although I admit that he does have some skills, he is just a monster after all. Saint Envoy Bai is a famous Saint Mark Master who has been famous for many years. His strength and status are extraordinary. I believe that Saint Envoy Bai will definitely defeat him and save our face."

Hongyue looked at the determined eyes of the fair-skinned boy and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She knew that although this boy was young and energetic, he also had his own pride and persistence. She didn't want to undermine his confidence, but she also didn't want him to be hurt again because of his blind self-confidence. So, she shook her head gently and said nothing more.

The atmosphere on the stage was extremely tense. Saint Envoy Bai's face was as blue as the frost in winter, but he still maintained the calmness and dignity that a Saint Mark Master should have. His eyes were like torches, staring at Ling Xiao opposite him, trying to find a flaw or uneasiness on the face of the young challenger.

"Just now you were able to instantly cast the Holy Pattern Array so quickly and powerfully. It must be because you are carrying some special treasure with you, right?" Saint Envoy Bai's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of power.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a bit of uninhibitedness and indifference. "Maybe." He answered lightly, "Whether I have a treasure or not seems to have nothing to do with the outcome of this duel. If you are afraid, you can choose to refuse this duel. I will never force you."

Although Ling Xiao's words were calm, the provocation in them was self-evident. Saint Envoy Bai's face became even darker. He snorted coldly, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. "Hmph, do you really think I'm afraid of a brat like you? Speaking of treasures that can instantly cast a holy pattern array, I have one in my hand."

There was a hint of arrogance in his words, and it was obvious that he was absolutely confident in his own strength. However, he changed the subject and continued, "However, since you choose not to use it, then I will not use it either. Otherwise, if I really use that treasure, wouldn't it seem like I am bullying you?"

Although Saint Bai's words were righteous, the provocation in them was not concealed. He was obviously showing Ling Xiao his strength and confidence, and at the same time, he was also testing the other party's background.

"Really? If so, then we will discard all external aids and compete based on our own strength." Ling Xiao smiled, his eyes gleaming with anticipation and confidence. "We will both start to set up the formation at the same time and launch attacks at the same time, to test whose formation is faster and whose formation is more powerful."

He paused, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and continued: "However, I have a small proposal. If I win this duel by chance, you must not only give me 30 million mid-grade spirit stones as a bet, but also give me the treasure in your hand that can instantly cast a formation. Of course, if I lose, I will also make a corresponding bet, how about it?"

Hearing Ling Xiao's proposal, Saint Envoy Bai couldn't help but frown deeply. He secretly thought that this kid's appetite was really amazing. Not only did he want 30 million middle-grade spirit stones, he even wanted his precious instant formation treasure. This treasure was made by him painstakingly collecting materials and carefully refining it for many years. It was of great significance to him.

Saint Bai felt a little regretful. If he had known this, he should not have mentioned the treasure of the instant formation. However, he could not regret it after he had said it. He knew very well that if he regretted it at this moment, not only would his dignity be destroyed, but Ling Xiao would also look down on him.

So, he took a deep breath, calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, and tried to make himself look calm and determined. He raised his head, looked directly into Ling Xiao's eyes, and said slowly: "Okay, I agree to your proposal. However, you must also remember your words. If you lose, you must also pay the corresponding bet."

"So, what kind of bet do you want?" Ling Xiao raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing a bit of provocation and confidence. He was obviously not afraid of any request from Saint Bai.

Envoy Bai glanced at Ling Xiao, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I want your treasure!"
