Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning Chapter 1426 - 542: Wager Duel (Part 3)

"So it turns out to be Master Ming Yue, I didn’t expect even you to fall to such a state."

"..."

Master Ming Yue was imdiately embarrassed and quickly said:

"Young Master Su, you misunderstand. We are rely residing temporarily on this Black Island.

Our purpose is to await your arrival."

"Oh?"

Su Mo smiled:

"Just now, this elder from the Zhong Jian Sect ntioned that he has been waiting here painstakingly for seven days.

But how could you all possibly know I would pass by this place?"

Before Master Ming Yue could speak, a man burst into laughter:

"A hermit has his own plans, why does Young Master Su need to ask more?"

"Oh?"

Su Mo looked up and saw a man holding a single blade, who stepped forward and nodded slightly:

"May I have the honor of knowing your na?"

"Fuhai Blade Lei Zhenming!"

This person spoke loudly, as if his voice was thunderous:

"Young Master Su, you are a straightforward person, and I will not waste words with you.

I heard you have the Martial God Key in your hand!

We have gathered here precisely for this item.

But I’m unsure how you could bear to part with it, Young Master Su?"

"What if I said under no circumstances would I part with it?"

Su Mo looked at them with a half-smile, then glanced at Shi Shengtian.

Shi Shengtian sighed.

He knew that Su Mo was giving him and everyone present an excuse, a reason.

Whatever was said next could determine whether Su Mo would unleash a massacre or show rcy.

Everyone exchanged puzzled looks at this.

Finally, Mingyue Taoist took a deep breath and said:

"Young Master Su, understand this: the Martial God Key is a matter of great importance and is truly extraordinary.

The Martial God Temple is the sacred land of Nanhai; we did not dare covet this land before due to lack of opportunity.

Now that the opportunity has appeared,

we are eager to seize it...

However, before Young Master Su arrived here, we had also discussed this.

All of us here are not evil doers or notorious villains of Nanhai.

Each has their own background and legacy.

We cannot be like those who engage in bloodshed, fighting over the Martial God Key and leaving bodies to float in blood.

Therefore, we intend to gamble with Young Master Su in a duel.

Using the Martial God Key as the wager, what does Young Master Su think?"

"A duel?"

Su Mo was a bit surprised hearing this, he glanced around at everyone and smiled slightly:

"Interesting, but why should I comply with your terms?

Is it not, perhaps, that if I refuse, you plan to attack altogether and cut down?"

"Absolutely not!"

Mingyue Taoist quickly said:

"Young Master Su, you misunderstand... if you don’t agree, all these old and young folks must play rogue with Young Master Su."

"????"

Su Mo was stunned: "What do you intend to do?"

"To outright snatch the Martial God Key would be unjust and unrighteous.

After much thought, we ca up with the idea of a gamble to minimize casualties.

Without regrets, if we lose, we will never ntion the Martial God Key again.

But if Young Master Su doesn’t agree, then we shall follow Young Master Su from here on out.

Lend a hand where we can... no daring words, but if anyone covets the Martial God Key and seeks to snatch it from Young Master Su, they must first get past us."

"..."

Su Mo was montarily speechless.

The way they put it, they offer help.

In truth, they simply refuse to give up.

Clinging to Su Mo, leaving him no peace.

Until Su Mo is willing to duel with them.

Not to ntion that Su Mo still has to make a trip to Cui Xin Temple for important matters.

Even if Su Mo directly took the Martial God Key to the Martial God Temple,

that would suit their purposes.

When the gates of the Martial God Temple open, Su Mo must either kill them first.

Otherwise, he can forget about entering alone.

Anyone seeing this would want a share and enter to see what the Martial God Temple looks like.

Thinking of this, Su Mo couldn’t help but smile wryly:

"Master, this is indeed quite a rogue move."

"A last resort, I ask Young Master Su to forgive us."

Master Ming Yue sighed: "Were it not for sothing else, we wouldn’t resort to such shalessness.

But the Martial God Temple... is truly enticing to us.

Even if it ans losing face, we want to explore it."

Shi Shengtian couldn’t help but laugh, transmitting to Su Mo:

"For them to co up with this plan is quite decent.

If you could take them all on, not only can you defend the Martial God Key, but your reputation could far surpass .

The title of the first in Nanhai would be yours.

Truly a win-win, no better option."

"..."

Su Mo couldn’t help but roll his eyes; as if I care about such vanity?

But after pondering a little, he did find the plan quite good.

Unless absolutely necessary, Su Mo never wished to unleash a massacre.

So, after deliberating, he smiled slightly:

"All of you have calculated well; if I lose even by a margin, I must hand over the Martial God Key.

And if you lose, simply stop ntioning the Martial God Key and walk away with nothing to lose.

That’s rather convenient, isn’t it?"

Mingyue Taoist was imdiately excited.

Knowing Su Mo was considering it, he quickly said:

"Young Master Su, just say the word, we’d even stake our lives on this gamble!"

"Really?"

Su Mo looked at them.

Everyone present nodded imdiately.

"Fine."

Su Mo smiled:

"Then stake your lives."

"Huh?"

Lei Zhenming was confused: "What does that an?"

Su Mo smiled:

"If I lose, the Martial God Key will be handed over with both hands.

If you lose...

From now on, you must follow and obey my orders."

"Is that so."

Mingyue Taoist laughed heartily:

"Young Master ans for us to wager ourselves, which is indeed a hefty stake.

But, to gain the Martial God Key, this old man is willing to risk it!"

Su Mo nodded slightly, looking at the others:

"And you all? What do you say?"

...

...

PS: There will be sothing special tonight.
