The current situation is clear to Bai Xin. If he were to command the Zheng Family and Aojia to fight head-on, it would inevitably lead to the downfall of the Zheng Family. Therefore, pursuing a direct confrontation is no longer a viable option.
Bai Xin's gaze flickered for a moment, and then a sinister smile appeared on his face as he said, "Aotian, how about we have a wager?"
Aotian replied calmly, "What kind of wager does Young Master Bai have in mind?"
Upon hearing this, the coldness in Bai Xin's eyes surged like a tide as he said, "This wager is simple: you and I will compete against each other. If you win, I will represent the Ice River Sect and promise not to interfere in the matters between your Zheng Ao families. But if you lose, Aojia will merge into the Zheng Family and from then on, will be subordinate to the Zheng Family! What do you think of this wager?"
Aotian felt some dissatisfaction in his heart after hearing this. This wager posed little risk for Bai Xin; even if he won, it would only mean the destruction of a Zheng Family that was essentially inconsequential to him.
However, if he were to lose, it would mean selling Aojia to the Zheng Family, effectively removing his left and right arms—a loss that would be significant.
Yet Aotian also understood that for Bai Xin, as the Young Master of Ice River Sect, to make such a concession was already quite remarkable.
If Bai Xin were truly pushed into a corner, he could return and bring a large number of experts from Ice River Sect. At that point, even with the Ning Family and Sun Family protecting Aojia, things would likely turn dire.
Agreeing to Bai Xin's wager was undoubtedly the only way to eliminate the Zheng Family without provoking the wrath of Ice River Sect.
"What do you say, Aotian? Do you dare accept this wager?" Bai Xin challenged Aotian.
"Boss, forget about any wagers. We can just charge in and wipe out the Zheng Family in no time!" Niu Geng exclaimed eagerly to Aotian.
Previously, due to Bai Xin's interference, Aojia had fallen into a disadvantage. However, with both the Ning Family and Sun Jing clearly siding with Aojia now, Niu Geng was filled with excitement and eager to unleash chaos immediately.
Bai Xin's proposed wager, in Niu Geng's eyes, was simply a sign of submission!
Aotian shook his head, rejecting Niu Geng's suggestion. If they followed Niu Geng's plan, they might indeed be able to destroy the Zheng Family, but the next day, countless experts from the Ice River Sect would likely surround Aojia's entrance.
"Why not, boss? We have the upper hand now! You can't seriously be considering that turtle's wager!" Niu Geng exclaimed, his eyes wide.
Aotian rolled his eyes in response; he was at a loss for words when it came to Niu Geng, the brute.
Meanwhile, Sun Jing clearly understood Aotian's concerns and quickly stepped forward to hold Niu Geng back, preventing him from continuing his "nonsense."
Aotian fixed his gaze on Bai Xin and said:
"Alright! I accept your wager!"
As soon as Aotian's words fell, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
To everyone present, Aotian's actions were undoubtedly self-deprecating. After all, Bai Xin was one of the Four Young Masters of Fengyun. Although Aotian's strength was somewhat impressive, he was undoubtedly far inferior to Bai Xin.
Thus, very few people believed Aotian would succeed.
Upon hearing that Aotian had accepted the wager, the Zheng Family members saw their previous gloom gradually fade away, replaced by mockery.
Even Ao Gong, who had just been filled with despair, couldn't help but smile broadly at this moment, inwardly cursing Aotian for being overconfident.
In truth, Aotian had his own plans for accepting this wager. If he were to defeat Bai Xin, one of the Four Young Masters of Fengyun, the benefits would be substantial.
Firstly, due to the wager, even if the Zheng Family were destroyed by Aojia, the Ice River Sect would not seek revenge. This was undoubtedly crucial for Aojia, which was still weak at this time.
Secondly, if I can defeat Bai Xin, it will undoubtedly stir up a tremendous storm in Fengyun Nation. If I win, I will replace Bai Xin's position in Fengyun Nation and become one of the new Four Young Masters of Fengyun.
At that time, the name Aojia will surely resonate throughout Fengyun Nation. Those who harbor ill intentions towards Aojia will likely have to restrain themselves.
Therefore, the gamble against Bai Xin is also very beneficial for Aotian. Of course, these benefits are based on Aotian's ability to win; if Aotian loses, the outcome will undoubtedly be extremely tragic.
Thus, this gamble is crucial for Aotian. Victory is the only option; defeat is not allowed!
Seeing Aotian accept the challenge he proposed, a cold glint intensified in Bai Xin's eyes as he sneered:
"Heh heh, you have guts. Since that's the case, let's begin!"
With that, Bai Xin slowly walked towards Aotian. The pure white sword in Bai Xin's hand seemed to sense its master's hostility towards Aotian and trembled violently.
As Bai Xin approached, Aotian immediately said to the members of Aojia:
"Step back a bit to avoid any accidental injuries!"
After saying this, Aotian also began to walk slowly towards Bai Xin, a powerful aura emanating from him like a waking divine dragon.
Aotian led everyone back several dozen steps and worriedly said to Sun Jing:
"Senior Sun Jing, do you think Aotian will be alright?"
"Heh heh, Aotian? Isn't he the son of the Aotian Family Head? Don't worry, trust that Aotian knows what he's doing!" Sun Jing waved his hand with a relaxed expression.
In reality, Sun Jing was also extremely worried. After all, Aotian's opponent this time was none other than a genuine member of the Four Young Masters of Fengyun.
The reputation of Bai Xin is well-known to Sun Jing. It is said that since his debut, his defeats have been few, making him a true legend within the Ice River Sect and the Fengyun Nation.
Therefore, Sun Jing's concern for Aotian is not any less than Aotian's concern for himself; he merely pretends to be certain to avoid worrying Aotian.
Sure enough, seeing Sun Jing's calm demeanor, Aotian's anxious heart eased slightly, though his expression remained grim.
This was simply because Bai Xin's fame was too great!
On the other side, Aotian and Bai Xin slowly came to a stop under the watchful eyes of the crowd, now only ten meters apart. This distance was negligible for both Aotian and Bai Xin.
"Ha ha, I didn't expect you would generously give Aojia to my junior brother. I really don't know how to thank you," Bai Xin said with a cold smile.
Clearly, Bai Xin believed that Aojia was already in his grasp. His tone was filled with sarcasm, obviously looking down on Aotian.
However, Aotian remained indifferent. He knew that engaging in a war of words with an enemy was pointless; what truly mattered were fists. Defeating the enemy! Instilling fear! That was the mark of a true winner!
With this thought in mind, Aotian's previously steady momentum suddenly surged like a raging wave, fiercely crashing toward Bai Xin.
Bai Xin's expression changed as a force comparable to Aotian's erupted from within him, meeting Aotian's fierce momentum head-on.
Upon sensing Bai Xin's aura, Aotian's expression shifted. At this moment, he truly felt the challenge posed by Bai Xin.
For someone with such overwhelming momentum, it was likely that he had already reached the Mid Human Spirit Realm. Coupled with the profound martial arts of the Ice River Sect, this battle was undoubtedly extremely unfavorable for Aotian.
Yet at this moment, Aotian had no choice but to act; even knowing that Bai Xin would be difficult to deal with, he had to press on regardless.
With this thought in mind, a flash of coldness crossed Aotian's eyes. Then, he forcefully pushed off the ground with his foot, propelling himself forward using the rebound force from the ground.
Aotian, while in motion, felt as if his right leg had transformed into a great sword, fiercely striking towards Bai Xin's shoulder.
The air beneath Aotian's leg was directly shattered, and the sharp sound of the air explosion resonated powerfully.
Bai Xin was slightly startled but quickly drove his snow-white longsword into the ground, while his right hand clawed towards Aotian's ankle like an eagle's talon.
Aotian remained unfazed; he simply adjusted the angle of his right leg's attack and struck down towards Bai Xin's clawing hand.
"Bang!"
As their limbs collided, Aotian immediately sensed a surge of energy flowing from Bai Xin's right hand. He was sent flying backward, stumbling for several steps before finally stabilizing himself.
In contrast, Bai Xin only took a few steps back, effortlessly dissipating Aotian's force.
With just that one strike, the difference in their abilities was clear!
There was evidently still a gap between Aotian and Bai Xin.
The members of Aojia who witnessed Aotian's setback immediately changed their expressions slightly, their hearts sinking with worry.
On the other hand, the Zheng Family Members appeared completely at ease. When they looked at the members of Aojia, their eyes were filled with a teasing amusement, as if they were cats playing with mice.
Bai Xin shook his slightly numb arm, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes as he said:
"Heh heh, there is indeed some brute strength, but the final outcome is already determined!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xin's figure appeared ghost-like in front of Aotian, his right hand striking down towards Aotian's shoulder like a blade.
Aotian's expression changed, and he dared not be careless. His right fist struck towards Bai Xin's knife hand like a raging sea dragon.
"Boom"
After the collision, Aotian involuntarily took a step back, while Bai Xin merely shuddered and continued to launch an attack against Aotian.
Bai Xin continuously waved his palms, and suddenly, countless palm shadows enveloped Aotian's vital points. The palm shadows whistled through the air, creating a piercing sound as they sliced through it.
Aotian's expression changed again, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. The density of these palm shadows was extreme, making it difficult for an ordinary person to evade them. However, for Aotian, who mastered the Stunning Dragon Movement Technique, evading them was not a challenge.
Aotian twisted his body as if stepping on a divine dragon, effortlessly dodging the whistling palm shadows and closing in on Bai Xin with lightning speed.
Once Aotian "navigated" through the myriad of palm shadows, he delivered a powerful kick to Bai Xin's chest, his foot enveloped in a dense aura of Transformation Technique.
Seeing Aotian easily evade his barrage of palm shadows shocked Bai Xin. He quickly crossed his arms to block the incoming kick from Aotian.
"Boom"
Immediately, Bai Xin's body trembled, and the sleeves on his arms burst apart. He was forced to retreat several steps, leaving deep imprints on the ground with each step he took...
