Chapter 453 If you can't beat them, you have to admit defeat
The fierce wind tore at the tattered curtains inside the main hall, and several thick, red-lacquered wooden pillars snapped in half.
The blue bricks shattered, turning into large dust particles that were swept into the dark golden cloth bag in mid-air.
Chen You's feet dug two deep furrows in the ground, and his body slid uncontrollably toward the Devouring Bag.
"Yu Huang!" Chen You whispered.
The Jade Emperor Sword emitted a clear and melodious sword cry and flashed out.
Chen You stepped onto the sword, almost turning sideways, using the sword to resist the suction force.
He finally regained his balance.
As an innate spiritual treasure, the power of the Jade Emperor was indeed greater than that of the mythical-grade Devouring Bag.
It shouldn't be too difficult to tear this cloth bag apart.
It would be best if we could get our hands on such a wonderful treasure.
Chen You took a deep breath, braving the strong wind, and shouted at the Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord who was sitting cross-legged on the ruins of the lotus throne in the main hall.
"Old Huang! This bag of yours is no good quality!"
Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord was forming hand seals, desperately urging the Devouring Heaven Bag to operate.
Upon hearing this, its enormous weasel head jerked up, its dark green vertical pupils filled with astonishment and suspicion.
"Insolence! This is my innate treasure, capable of devouring heaven and earth! How dare you, a mere ant, utter such arrogant words!"
"Swallowing the heavens and earth?" Chen You scoffed. "With your wind power, you can't even suck up my flying sword. You're more like a high-powered range hood."
The Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord's eye twitched.
Having lived for so long and devoured countless lives, which one didn't wail and beg for mercy under the oppressive power of the Devouring Bag?
This human not only wasn't sucked in, but he also dared to spout nonsense?
"What kind of sorcery is this?" The Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord gritted his teeth and slammed his hands together again.
The opening of the Devouring Bag suddenly doubled in size, and a faint rumbling sound could be heard from inside the bag as the suction force increased dramatically.
Chen You swayed slightly.
The Jade Emperor Sword emitted a clear sword cry, its sword energy crisscrossing and anchoring the surrounding space firmly.
Chen You cleared his throat.
"Old Huang, let's be frank."
Chen You said sincerely, "Your magic weapon has a good design concept and a very clear functional positioning."
However, its underlying logic has a fatal flaw.
Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord was stunned.
It doesn't understand terms like "design philosophy" or "underlying logic," but it instinctively senses that the other party is belittling its most prized possession.
"Nonsense!"
"I'm talking nonsense?" Chen You pointed to the giant net in the sky. "Look at this material, so rough! And look at these array patterns, so outdated!"
"Most importantly, your suction power is indiscriminate and consumes too much power, which does not meet modern energy conservation and emission reduction standards at all."
Chen You paused for a moment, then unleashed his trump card.
"To be honest, did you get this thing as a freebie after cutting a knife in a knife fight? Or is it a defective product you picked up from some street stall?"
"Shut up!" The Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord was completely enraged.
It, a dignified mythical lord, was actually mocked by a human for having a defective magical artifact.
"Today, I will surely reduce you to pus and blood!"
Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord spat out a mouthful of blood essence into the air and frantically formed hand seals.
The Devouring Bag erupted with blinding blood-red light, and a small spatial black hole even appeared deep within the bag's opening.
Chen You sighed as he saw that the time was almost right.
"They won't shed tears until they see the coffin."
Chen You pointed his right hand, fingers together like a sword, and gently tapped it.
"go."
The Jade Emperor Sword split off an avatar, which transformed into a stream of light and instantly pierced into the violent suction vortex.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any deafening roar.
The Jade Emperor Sword pierced through the crimson barrier released by the Devouring Heaven Bag as easily as cutting tofu, its tip resting steadily on the edge of the bag's opening.
An overwhelming and terrifying pressure erupted from the Jade Emperor Sword.
That's the rank suppression of innate spiritual treasures.
The blood-red light on the Devouring Bag instantly went out, and the huge bag trembled violently, emitting a mournful buzzing sound.
The Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord was struck as if by lightning; his face turned deathly pale, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"What... what level of magic weapon is this?" It stared in horror at the flying sword hovering in mid-air, its body trembling uncontrollably.
Its prized companion treasure, which it was so proud of, couldn't even muster the thought of resisting in the face of that sword!
Chen You, with his hands behind his back, slowly flew into the main hall.
"Do you believe me now?" Chen You looked at the Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord slumped on the ground. "Your tattered bag can be torn into rags with a single stroke of my sword."
Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord stared intently at Chen You, his eyes filled with resentment and fear.
"Who...who exactly are you?"
"Me?" Chen You smiled. "I'm just a kind-hearted person passing by."
He walked up to the Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord and looked down at it.
"Old Huang, I can see you're having a tough time cultivating. This temple is dilapidated, and you probably can't even get a donation, right?"
Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord didn't speak, but a hint of desolation flashed in his eyes.
"Well then, I believe in fairness the most when it comes to business."
Chen You took out a glittering gold coin from his backpack and threw it at the feet of the Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord.
"Sell this bag to me, and this gold coin is yours."
"Take the money, buy an apartment in the city, get married, and live out your old age in peace. Isn't that better than being a monster in this desolate wilderness?"
Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord looked at the gold coins on the ground, then at Chen You, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"A gold coin? You want to buy my mythical treasure?"
Enraged, it laughed and suddenly grabbed a short stick from the ground, ready to attack.
"Not enough?" Chen You raised an eyebrow.
He snapped his fingers.
Splash!
With a crisp metallic clang, a small mountain of gold coins instantly appeared in the center of the hall, its golden light almost blinding the Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord.
"Ten thousand gold coins, is that enough?" Chen You asked magnanimously.
The Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord froze in mid-air.
It has lived for so long and has never seen so much money.
In the rules of the Origin Realm, gold coins are the purest form of energy crystallization, a hard currency that no living being can refuse.
"You..." The Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord swallowed hard, his grip on the short stick loosening slightly.
Chen You keenly noticed the greed in its eyes.
"Old Huang, times have changed." Chen You patted Huang Mei Xie Zun on the shoulder earnestly.
"Fighting and killing lead nowhere; making money is the only way. Give me the bag, and you can take the gold coins. I promise I won't kill you."
As the Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord gazed at the mountain of gold, his breathing became rapid.
It glanced at the Devouring Bag, which was firmly suppressed in mid-air by the Jade Emperor Sword, and then at the unfathomable Chen You in front of it.
The magic weapon has been countered, so we definitely can't win in a fight.
If we could run away with this huge sum of money, wouldn't that be a good idea?
"You... are you serious?" The Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord gritted his teeth.
"I, Chen You, always keep my word," Chen You assured, patting his chest.
Yellow-Eyebrowed Evil Lord took a deep breath and formed a hand seal.
The Devouring Bag in mid-air rapidly shrank, transforming into a tattered cloth bag the size of a palm, which fell into its palm.
With trembling hands, it handed the Devouring Sky Bag to Chen You.
"It's yours now."
