Chapter 767

Still in the same main hall as before, Shirley waited here quietly, but An Ling’er didn’t show up.

Yu Mo brought Yang Kai here, reported respectfully, and stood aside solemnly, watching coldly.

Shirley nodded slightly, raised her eyelids and swept Yang Kai a glance, and said lightly, “I’ve raised you for so many days. Are you ready to create some value for me？”

Yang Kai frowned： “I don’t know what you’re talking about？”

Shelly chuckled, gracefully stood up, and said in a soft and charming voice, ‘I said it before, my Sand City doesn’t ‘tsupport useless people! Since I let you survive, naturally I won’t support you for nothing. Hmm, Jing, among humans it’s quite remarkable to have such cultivation at your age. You should be a core disciple of some great power, right? ‘

Yang Kai neither affirmed nor denied, and didn’t answer.

‘But this has nothing to do with me. I don’t care which power you come from either. Since you fall into my hands, you have to obediently listen to me. Do whatever I ask you to do. If you dare to disobey even the slightest bit… you know the consequences…’

As she spoke like this, a hint of cold and fierce light flickered in those watery beautiful eyes.

‘So what do you want me to do now？’ Yang Kai asked in a deep voice.

‘Kill people！ Or be killed！’ Shelly smiled lightly and with a wave of her fair hand, said, ‘Yu Mo, tell him in detail. It’s time for him to make his appearance.’

Her beautiful buttocks sat back on her chair again, and she lay down lazily, looking at Yang Kai with interest.

Yu Mo stood where he was and said loudly, ‘The land around our Sand City is barren, and the other places under the leadership of Lady Shelly are not too rich either, not even the heaven and earth energy！ Moreover, this place is adjacent to the Sand Sea, and there are no passing merchants either. Logically speaking, the territory of Lady Shelly should be very poor.’

“Isn’t it？” Yang Kai tilted his head and looked at him.

Yu Mo smiled slightly： “Not only is it not, but quite the opposite. The richness of our Sand City is incomparable to any city in the Demon Frontier. The wealth that flows in and out of here every year is incredibly huge.”

Yang Kai raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

Yu Mo looked at Yang Kai proudly. He originally thought that this kid would ask why, but after waiting for a long time and seeing that he had no intention of opening his mouth to speak, he immediately felt bored and pouted and explained： “Because there is a place in our Sand City that can attract all kinds of people in the Demon Frontier to come. And this place is the biggest source of wealth in Sand City. Even the other three Demon Generals will send people to stay here permanently！”

“Oh？” Yang Kai couldn’t help but become interested. “What kind of place can attract so much attention？”

“The Deathmatch Arena！” Yu Mo grinned. “In simple terms, it is to let warriors with similar realms go in there and fight to the death. Those big shots will, according to their own vision and preferences, bet a large amount of crystals or materials on a certain person. If this person wins, then they can obtain a certain amount of benefits. Depending on the odds set, the benefits obtained are also different. If you are lucky, it is very possible to obtain several times or even a dozen times the benefits！”

“Isn’t this just gambling？”

“It is just gambling！”

“The banker is your Sand City, right？ In that case, you are always the profit-takers.” Yang Kai smiled.

“We also need to cultivate. And cultivation requires resources. Since our territory is barren, we can only find ways to take from those big shots’ pockets.”

“You need me to fight to the death with others, right？”

“That’s right. Originally, there were several people here, but recently they were all killed, and we also lost a lot of crystals. You are at the Transcendent One-layer. Although fighting with others is not very exciting, as long as it is properly managed, we can still recover a lot of losses.” Yu Mo nodded slightly.

“Then do I have any benefits？” Yang Kai asked.

“You still want benefits？” Yu Mo was stunned when he heard this.

“Of course. I’m gambling my life and death. Don’t I have any benefits at all？” Yang Kai looked as if it was a matter of course.

“Interesting. My lord, what should we do since he wants benefits？” Yu Mo looked up and asked Shirley.

“Just give him a little sweetness.”

Yu Mo lowered his head, nodded, and said to Yang Kai： “Since my lord has said so, as long as you can let us win a game, then we will give you half a percent of the profit.”

Yang Kai pondered for a while and nodded slightly： “Okay.”

He turned his head to look at Shirley and asked： “If I can use this method to raise enough ransom, will you let me go？”

Shelley opened her eyes, looked at Yang Kai coldly, and then closed them again, saying lightly, “It depends on my mood. If you are honest and obedient, there is still room for discussion. But if you dare to be picky and mention this and that again, I will kill you immediately. Yu Mo, test his ability. Don’t let him be just a piece of trash who can only talk.”

As soon as the voice fell, a terrifying coercion suddenly burst out from Yu Mo’s body and enveloped Yang Kai head-on.

Yang Kai’s body crouched down, almost kneeling on the ground. Sensing the powerful force contained in this coercion, his face also changed suddenly. True essence circulated frantically in his meridians to resist the pressure from Yu Mo.

“Huh？” Yu Mo was suddenly surprised. He had long been displeased with Yang Kai and wanted to take this opportunity to teach him a good lesson. So he didn’t hold back and was ready to make him kneel down with one blow, grinding his edges and corners and killing his spirit. But he didn’t expect this kid to actually hold on.

His expression turned cold, and the power was increased by a lot again.

Yang Kai snorted, his body gradually crouched down, his knees bent, his face flushed red, gritted his teeth, glared at Yu Mo, and his whole body of flesh wriggling.

Click click click…

The white jade stones on the ground suddenly shattered, and a wave of air raged outward with Yang Kai as the center. The walls of the entire great hall cracked with cracks of different lengths, and suddenly it seemed a little shaky.

Xueli finally opened her beautiful eyes and stared deeply at Yang Kai. There was a look of anticipation on her pretty face, as if she wanted to see if Yang Kai could persist and not fall under Yu Mo’s means.

Under Yu Mo’s terrifying, Yang Kai’s body trembled and his blue veins bulged. But in just about ten breaths he seemed to have adapted to this pressure, and the body that had crouched down actually straightened up slowly again.

Yu Mo’s expression changed slightly. He knew exactly how much power he had released. Under such power, not to mention a Martial Artist at the First-Order Transcendent Realm, even a Martial Artist at the Second-Order Transcendent Realm would not have any power to resist. Only when reaching the Third-Order Transcendent Realm could one barely resist.

But this kid actually resisted it, although it seemed extremely difficult.

With a cold snort, Yu Mo’s power was strengthened for the third time.

Ka…

Yang Kai’s two feet suddenly sank into the ground, reaching up to his knees.

Just at this moment, Yang Kai moved. His body bounced up from the original place like an arrow leaving the string. True Yuan spurted out between his hands, and he attacked Yu Mo with a thunderous momentum. Before the person arrived, a huge golden sword had appeared in his hand and slashed down at Yu Mo.

The killing intent in Yu Mo’s eyes was awe-inspiring, and his true essence surged like a snake’s tongue, exuding an extremely dangerous aura.

“That’s enough！” Shirley’s faint shout resounded through the great hall.

An invisible impact came, and Yang Kai’s body suddenly stagnated. The Mysterious Heaven Sword in his hand also turned into fluorescent light and disappeared, and he fell heavily.

Yu Mo’s strength also suddenly withdrew, and he frowned and looked at Yang Kai who was getting up from the ground, and coldly shouted： “Kid, did you just want to kill me？”

Yang Kai smiled sinisterly.

“True Yang Yuan Qi, what a nasty smell!” Shirley frowned, seemingly a little displeased.

Although with her cultivation base, she would not be suppressed by Yang Kai’s true essence, but just like water and fire are incompatible, the devil yuan in her body naturally hates and repels this kind of True Yang Yuan Qi.

“Not bad strength. I underestimated you.” Shirley nodded slightly. To be able to persist under Yu Mo’s power for so long and even dare to counterattack at the last moment, looking like he wanted to kill Yu Mo, this human kid has combat power and willpower far beyond his current cultivation base！

As a Saint Realm powerhouse, Shirley still has this kind of vision.

“My lord, this can be made good use of.” Yu Mo coldly swept a few glances at Yang Kai, and his face was a little eager to try.

“Well, it’s time for those bastards to bleed a lot.” Shirley sneered coldly. “Arrange tomorrow’s battle for him. I want him to win in an extremely difficult way！”

“Understood！” Yu Mo grinned sinisterly, looking at Yang Kai with eyes like a wild wolf looking at a lamb.

“I have one more request！” Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders and added before Shirley got angry. “The last request！”

“Speak！” Shirley shouted unhappily.

“Give me a secret treasure that can change my appearance. I don’t want my appearance to be seen by too many people. Otherwise, there will be many demons coming to hunt me down in the future.” Yang Kai said.

Shirley was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted, smiling faintly. “You consider quite far-reaching.”

As long as Shirley operates properly, then Yang Kai can bring her a lot of wealth. Those demons who have lost their eyes in gambling dare not be angry with Shirley and will naturally concentrate all their resentment on Yang Kai. At that time, even if he gets freedom from Shirley, I’m afraid he won’t be able to leave the Demon Frontier.

Yang Kai does have such a secret treasure, which was given to him by Du Wan.

However, he dare not use it. After all, it was the appearance changed by that secret treasure that he participated in the competition for the medicinal liquid of the Millennium Demon Flower. Once recognized, the trouble will be even greater. So he can only ask Shirley for help.

“I don’t have such a secret treasure in my hand either. It’s too precious.” Shirley shook her head. “But I can provide you with a mask to cover it up a little.”

“Alright then！” Yang Kai nodded.

“Take him away！ Have a good rest tonight, and don’t die tomorrow！” Shirley smiled lightly.

Yu Mo brought Yang Kai back to the previous room. Before leaving, he directly injected several strands of True Yuan into Yang Kai. In an instant, Yang Kai felt that the flow rate of his True Yuan had slowed down a lot, and even his own reaction had become a little dull.

“You know why I did this, right？” Yu Mo asked.

Yang Kai gently nodded and did not resist. Judging from Shirley’s words just now, she wanted him to stage a life-and-death battle tomorrow to deceive the eyes of those demons and interfere with their judgment. In this way, when he went into battle in the future, they would underestimate his combat power, not be too optimistic about him, and bet on the wrong person.

If it weren’t for Yu Mo’s means, Yang Kai might expose some flaws Among those demons who placed bets there were no blind people. Their eyes were bright.
