Chapter 67: Trading Treasure for Life (Third Update)
"Huh? No more playing."
When Yuan Shi saw that his two brothers had completed the beheading task, but he had not, he suddenly felt bored and didn't want to play anymore.
"not good!"
Di Jun and Tai Yi secretly thought in their hearts. They felt a strong crisis enveloped them and wanted to escape.
"Where do you want to hide? Come here."
Yuan Shi's faint voice sounded in the ears of the two of them, and then, Yuan Shi's two big hands patted the two of them without hesitation.
Suddenly, the two of them felt chills and trembling, and they wanted to hide away, but they couldn't escape anyway. The two demons were immediately photographed.
"Pfft——"
As two streams of blood spurted out, there were burning flames of the sun's true fire among the golden blood, burning in the void. The scene was extremely poignant. Two figures fell into the void and fell to the ground.
What to do with them? killed? Or let it go?
Only then did Yuan Shi think of an extremely troublesome problem. The four great demons placed in front of him were the best among the demon clan. They would become famous demon kings and saints in the future, and would be the protagonists of the next calamity.
Killing was obviously impossible. Even if Yuan Shi wanted to kill, Hongjun or Tiandao would not agree. What's more, Yuan Shi doesn't want to kill them.
do not kill? Wouldn't that give them an advantage? How could I, Yuanshi, do such a thankless thing?
"Huh!"
Yuan Shi looked at the Chaos Clock in front of him and suddenly felt his eyes light up. He suddenly thought of an idea that he thought was a brilliant idea.
If you want to die, you can exchange it for treasure!
Seeing the unwilling looks in the eyes of the four demons in front of them, Yuan Shi's faint voice sounded in their ears again:
"Four of you, what else do you have to say?"
"It's just that my skills are not as good as others. I just lament my lack of strength. If you want to kill or behead, my Emperor Jun will do whatever you want." Emperor Jun and Tai Yi are worthy of being Demon Emperors. Even at this stage, they still do not bow their heads.
"Humph!" Nuwa snorted. The corners of Fuxi's mouth were slightly bitter, but he remained silent.
Yuan Shi looked at the four demons and said calmly: "Four of you, your lives now depend on me. If I want you to die, you can't resist at all."
At this point, he paused for a moment. When the four of them heard this, their hearts tightened, and a trace of imperceptible panic flashed in their eyes, but their faces remained unmoved.
When Yuan Shi saw this, he smiled slightly and continued:
"But -, I am in a good mood now. I am grateful to God for the virtue of living a good life, but I don't want to continue killing. If you want to survive, you can, it depends on your own performance."
"What do you mean?" the four people asked with their eyes flickering slightly.
"What do you mean? My meaning is very obvious. I can return your lives to you."
"What?"
Several people were surprised. They didn't expect that Yuan Shi would let them go. This was simply unbelievable. You know, letting them go would mean that he might have a few more enemies in the future.
"It's not that simple," Fuxi said slowly, thoughtfully.
"Smart! I like to talk to smart people, so I don't have to waste time." Yuan Shi praised him without hesitation, and then said:
"If you want to live, you can do it. If you estimate the value of your life, you can exchange it for something of that value."
"What, Yuanshi, you are bullying the demon too much!"
After hearing Yuan Shi's words, the four demons were furious. The meaning of Yuan Shi's words was very obvious. He obviously treated their lives as things in exchange and did not take them seriously at all.
If the transaction value is less, doesn't it mean that their lives are only worth a few things. If the transaction is too much, not only will they feel distressed, but their lives can still be measured by things, and the result will be the same.
A person's life can be valuable or priceless. The four demons believe that their lives are infinite and cannot be measured by value. But Yuanshi insists on using their own values to measure it. If this is not an insult to them, what is it doing?
If this matter spreads out in the future, wouldn't they be ridiculed by everyone in the world? This is simply intolerable!
Think about where you go in the future, and you will hear people on the roadside laughing:
"Look, that's the Demon Emperor. His life is only worth a treasure."
"Hey, isn't that the Demon King?"
"It's true, I heard that back then..."
"Hahaha!"
"..."
When they think of this, they feel that their whole life is ruined and their future life will be dark.
"Is it too much to bully a demon? I am not in the mood for that. If you insist on thinking so, then do whatever you want. Now it's up to you to choose. Whether you want your own life or the treasure, it's all up to you. in a moment."
Yuan Shi's disdainful and arrogant voice came, knocking all their self-esteem to pieces. The four demons suddenly woke up and recognized the reality. Yes, what self-esteem do they have now?
Is life more important, or treasures? Of course life is important! If you lose your life, even if the treasure is still there, what's the point? Without the treasure, but with a life, this means that I have unlimited possibilities in the future. Maybe one day my strength will increase so much that I can take revenge myself.
The four demons made eye contact and immediately reached an agreement and asked:
"How do you want to change?"
"How do you want to change this seat? The choice is in your own hands. It depends on you."
Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Yuan Shi had no expression on his face, silently watching them choose.
"Use my Chaos Bell!" Taiyi shouted after a while.
"No, no! Second brother, use my River Map and Luoshu!" Dijun argued.
"No, big brother, your River Map and Luoshu cannot be lost." Taiyi always felt that his big brother's River Map and Luoshu would be of great use in the future and could not be lost. Although his own Chaos Bell was powerful, it did not give him the feeling of the River Map and Luoshu.
"Second brother, you——"
"Big brother, no need to say more, we are brothers." Taiyi stopped his big brother and said.
"What should we do?"
Seeing this, Nuwa and Fuxi did not know what to do. They did not have good spiritual treasures. The only red hydrangea and Fuxiqin in their hands were only top-grade innate spiritual treasures. With Yuanshi's personality, he should not look down on them. What should they do?
The two immediately looked at Dijun and Taiyi.
The four demons discussed it and finally decided to exchange the Chaos Bell.
"We have discussed it. How about it?"
"We will use the Chaos Bell, the innate treasure, as an exchange."
Taiyi said carefully. He felt a little embarrassed. They had four monsters, but they used a treasure to exchange. He thought Yuanshi would not agree.
But, the fact was beyond the four people's expectations. Yuanshi said one word directly and agreed:
"Okay."
In fact, they didn't know that Yuanshi's fundamental purpose was the Chaos Bell. As for the others, although Dijun's Hetu Luoshu was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, it was related to deduction and formation. It was an auxiliary spiritual treasure, and Yuanshi didn't need it. Nuwa's red hydrangea and Fuxi's Fuxiqin were both top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Their attack power was very average, and Yuanshi didn't look down on them.
So, having a Chaos Bell was enough. As for the others, it was fine. It was better to have it, but it didn't matter if you didn't have it. He didn't want to force the four monsters too much.

One more chapter, thank you for your support, and thank you for the rewards from Suiyue Pale, Renyan Lao, and Tianlong. I have to say here that I am a student and I have to go to class during the day, so I can only write at night and on weekends. Recently, many Taoist friends have been urging me to update, so I can only say sorry. If I have time, I will try my best!
