At this moment, Chen Yao's eyes were shining brightly. He was joking with a medium-grade heaven-step magic tool that combined both attack and defense. How could he not be tempted by this?

Even the Emperors, or even the semi-sage realm, would be envious of medium-grade heaven-step weapons.

Liu Zhong's eyes were filled with anger and killing intent as he gritted his teeth and spoke to Chen Yao.

"It's better to leave some things to others."

Even he couldn't bear to part with such a treasure. He knew the power of this sword armor the best, and he had paid quite a price for it all those years ago.

If he really wanted to lose his sword armor to Chen Yao, how could he bear it?

"Liu Wuya actually dared to cripple my Dantian. If it wasn't for the fact that I got lucky, and I'm now just an ordinary worker, and the fact that I was surrounded and killed by others, don't tell me you have nothing to do with me."

When Chen Yao said his last sentence, Liu Zhong's eyelids jumped. Could it be that the disciples of the Everlasting Demon Sect that he arranged to kill Chen Yao exposed their connection to him?

That's not good.

"Here you go."

Seemingly sensing Chen Yao's threat, Liu Zhong finally compromised.

After removing the mental connection between the sword armor and themselves, the sword armor left his body and floated in front of Chen Yao. Everyone looked at Chen Yao with envious gazes.

Chen Yao was already at the end of his tether. He didn't have the ability to study medium-grade heaven-step magic tools. With a single thought, he stored the sword armor into his storage bracelet.

"Where are the spirit stones?" Chen Yao hastened to resolve this matter and hurriedly went to heal his injuries.

Losing his sword armor had already dealt a huge blow to Liu Zhong. His stomach was filled with anger. When Chen Yao asked for spirit stones, Liu Zhong finally became angry.

"Chen Yao, don't push yourself too far."

However, Chen Yao showed no fear as he said, "What, can't afford to lose?"

Even if his opponent was a semi-sage expert, under the gaze of everyone on the life and death arena, he still dared to make a move? Obviously, he didn't dare to do so. Even if he did, Liu Zhong wouldn't be able to kill him with Luo Tian by his side.

His talent was extraordinary, and his strategy was like a demon.

Everyone could sense Chen Yao's strength and terror.

"Here you go."

When Liu Zhong felt the gazes of disdain from the surrounding people, he hated Chen Yao to death. He wished he could swallow Chen Yao alive, but he couldn't.

He felt like he was suffocating.

With a wave of his hand, a storage ring flew toward Chen Yao. He caught the ring and counted: seven hundred thousand.

"Didn't you say that if Chen Yao wins, we will double the compensation?" Liu Hong spoke up.

He almost angered Liu Zhong to death and wondered if Liu Hong had lost to Chen Yao on purpose. Liu Hong was a spy planted by Luo Tian in the Liu Family?

In all likelihood, this was the case. Yu Xuan probably sided with Luo Tian as well, which was why he was able to guide Liu Hong and then cause her to betray him.

That must be it.

Doubtful by nature, Liu Zhong felt that he had really been tricked by Luo Tian, Chen Yao, and the rest.

He had already lost a million spirit stones to Chen Yao earlier. Now, he was taking out another seven hundred thousand spirit stones. This was already one million and seven hundred thousand spirit stones.

He was the Supreme Elder of the sword faction, as well as one of the ancestors of the Liu Family. Every year, he received millions of Spirit Stones as a tribute, but he was a semi-sage, and the consumption of Spirit Stones was huge. 1.7 million was his last stash this year, and Chen Yao had won all of them.

This Chen Yao was simply too hateful.

"What, you want to go back on your word?" That won't do. We all heard it. " Luo Tian had a look of schadenfreude on his face. Although the current situation was outside of his budget, Chen Yao's actions definitely caused the Liu Family to suffer a huge loss of strength. Without the sword armor, Liu Zhong's strength would fall as well.

The way the Liu Family did things in the sword faction, everyone was very unhappy. After Luo Tian was the first to make a move, the other sword faction experts also added fuel to the fire.

"That's right. You are the Utmost Exalted Elder. How could you possibly go back on your word in front of a member of the younger generation?"

"No, I won't."

Suddenly, those sword faction disciples also started to cause a ruckus …

This was because this was related to their own interests. They were all low-level disciples, so even a single spirit stone was extremely precious to them.

Liu Zhong's face was ashen, even becoming somewhat sinister. He truly didn't have any spirit stones on him. As a semi-sage expert, the Liu Family's patriarch, and the Sword Faction's onstage elder, when had he ever lost such a person?

"Liu Hai, do you have any Spirit Stones with you?" The Liu Family Patriarch looked at Liu Hai.

Liu Hai was also surprised.

He thought to himself, "You boasted that if Chen Yao won, he would give you double the amount of spiritual stones. Now, I will suffer along with you?"

If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have boasted.

The most important thing was that Liu Hai was not very rich. He said awkwardly, "I only have thirty thousand Spirit Stones with me, so I'm far from seven hundred thousand."

This time, not only Liu Zhong, but the entire Liu Family had lost their members in the sword faction.

The Liu Family juniors of the sword faction all lowered their heads, their faces red.

Seeing the surrounding people laughing at him, Liu Zhong's face flushed red with shame and anger.

"All disciples of the Liu Family, take out all your savings to gather the Spirit Stones."

As soon as Liu Zhong spoke, the faces of the Liu Family disciples turned from red to pale.

At this moment, the status of the Liu Family Patriarchs in the hearts of the Liu Family disciples dropped by a lot. Without so many Spirit Stones, don't boast. Do you want us to suffer together now?

To them, spirit stones were also extremely precious.

Although no one wanted to, Liu Zhong was their patriarch after all. Moreover, this matter concerned the entire Liu Family's reputation. Therefore, these Liu Family disciples reluctantly took out all of their savings.

At this moment, only the people in the sword faction found out that there were only a few hundred thousand people in the entire sword faction. However, there were twenty thousand people in the Liu Family alone, and there must be some subordinate forces of the Liu Family. Once the Liu Family lost control, it would be a huge blow to the sword faction.

The more than 20,000 Liu Family disciples only took out about 200,000 Spirit Stones. Including Liu Hai's Spirit Stones, it was only 300,000 Spirit Stones.

There was still four hundred thousand left.

He couldn't afford to lose so much face.

With a wave of Liu Hai Xin's hand, a sword sheath suddenly appeared in front of Chen Yao.

The scabbard was already stained with rust and it was impossible to see its grade, but it gave off an ancient feeling.

Liu Zhong said, "Chen Yao, today is your day. I will use this sheath to pay for the remaining 400,000 spirit stones."

This is?

Everyone looked at this rusted sword sheath with doubtful expressions. Four hundred thousand spirit stones was enough to buy a medium-grade earth-step sword at the Weapon Refining Manor. How could this rusted sword sheath compare to a medium-grade earth-step sword weapon?

Liu Zhong looked a bit embarrassed. He turned to Chen Yao and said, "Actually, even I don't know what this is. However, this sheath was found along with the sword armor on the ancient battlefield."

Hearing this, everyone shivered. It was actually found in the ancient battlefield. This thing was definitely extraordinary, but right now, it was only a sword sheath. It did not have a sword, so it was very likely to be a useless piece of trash.

This was not even worth four hundred thousand spirit stones.

It wasn't that the Liu Family Patriarchs couldn't come up with anything else to back the debt, but with his status and the priceless treasures he had, there were almost no treasures below Heaven Stage. It was obviously impossible for him to give them to Chen Yao.

Although he had a faint feeling that the scabbard he had found in the ancient battlefield was not an ordinary item, he had studied it for nearly a hundred years and came up empty-handed. As a result, he had lost interest.

"Kid, promise him."

Just as Chen Yao was hesitating, the Sword Spirit's voice suddenly rang out in his mind. Furthermore, the voice contained joy and excitement.

The sword spirit had never shown such emotions before. It seemed that there was something strange about this sword sheath.

Initially, everyone thought that he would not choose the sword sheath. However, Chen Yao straightforwardly accepted the sword sheath and put it away.

This action made Liu Zhong's eyelids twitch.

Did this brat discover the secret of the sword sheath?
