Chapter 1996: The Long Forgotten Sun Shooting Bow

“It’s alright.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. He could see that Liu Yun meant no harm.

“100,000 Contribution Points…” However, the instant he recalled how Liu Yun had bet 100,000 Contribution Points on him, he could not help but narrow his eyes. Then, his eyes brightened as though he was hit by a pang of realization.

“Senior Brother Liu Mu, go look for Senior Brother Liu Yun first. There’s something urgent, and I have to look for Elder Nie Zui!” Duan Ling Tian hurriedly said to Liu Mu with an apologetic smile before he flew toward the custodian of the Palace of Death, Nie Zui, and blocked his path just as he was about to head to the Death Arena to preside over the Death Duel.

“Is there a problem?” Nie Zui came to a halt with a slight frown on his face when he saw Duan Ling Tian blocking his path.

At the same time, every Saint Land disciple present on the scene, including Liu Mu, shifted their attention to Duan Ling Tian.

“Why is Duan Ling Tian looking for Elder Nie Zui at this moment?”

The Death Duel was just about to begin. Duan Ling Tian did not obediently stay obediently in the Death Arena, but he went to look for Elder Nie instead. They were all baffled.

“Elder Nie Zui!” Under the watchful eyes of the others, Duan Ling Tian raised his hand and an extremely damaged-looking bow appeared in his hand. The bow was covered with ten holes. It made the bow appear even more shabby.

The only thing worth mentioning was the bowstring of the bow.

Naturally, Nie Zui was the only one whose eyes had brightened for he could tell the bowstring was not simple. As for the others, they did not notice the bowstring at all due to the great distance.

When they saw Duan Ling Tian taking out this bow, most of them had a disgusted expression on their faces.

“Why did Duan Ling Tian take this bow out?”

“I don’t know. Perhaps, he wants to use this broken bow to bribe Elder Nie Zui and ask Elder Nie Zui to call off the Death Duel!”

“What a joke! Putting aside the fact that Elder Nie Zui won’t covet a broken bow, even if he did, it would be impossible for him to call off the Death Duel! The Death Pact has already been signed, if Elder Nie Zui abuses his power to call off this Death Duel, he would lose his position as the custodian of the Palace of Death!”

The group of Saint Land disciples discussed among themselves. Hints of contempt could be heard in their voices.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian looked at Nie Zui and said, “Elder Nie Zui, I want to pawn my bow in exchange for some Contribution Points so I can place a bet on myself… If I die in the Death Duel, this bow will belong to you. If I’m lucky enough to survive, I’ll use twice the amount of Contribution Points to buy it back!” As Duan Ling Tian spoke, he handed the bow over to Nie Zui.

The damaged-looking bow was none other than the Sun Shooting Bow!

When the Sun Shooting Bow was in its prime, it was an extremely powerful Celestial Supreme Treasure!

However, when Duan Ling Tian obtained it, not only did it already lose its bowstring, but the most important ten Heavenly jewels on the bow were already gone as well. Even so, after the dragon tendon of a Five-clawed Devil Dragon was used as its bowstring, the Sun Shooting Bow was still very powerful.

Although that was the case, after Duan Ling Tian had obtained the legacy of the Sovereign Heart Sword, he had put all his heart and mind into the Sword Dao. For this reason, the Sun Shooting Bow was gradually buried in dust as well.

If it was not for the fact that he saw Liu Yun placing 100,000 Contribution Points to bet on him, he would not have remembered the Sun Shooting Bow at all.

Currently, he planned to pawn the Sun Shooting Bow to the custodian of the Palace Of Death, Nie Zui, in exchange for some Contribution Points. He would buy it back after the Death Duel had ended.

He believed with Nie Zui’s strength and position, he would be able to tell the Sun Shooting Bow was not an ordinary bow.

“It seems like you’re quite confident.” Nie Zui looked at Duan Ling Tian meaningfully before he took the Sun Shooting Bow from Duan Ling Tian. When he looked at the Sun Shooting Bow again, his eyes brightened immediately.

Although he could tell the bowstring was not simple, he did not pay attention to the bow itself. Now that he was holding the bow, he finally realized the most valuable thing about it was not the bowstring but the bow itself!

“It’s not that I’m confident. Everything of mine would no longer belong to me if I die today! In that case, I might as well take out my most valuable item and pawn it!” Duan Ling Tian said calmly when he heard Nie Zui’s words.

At this moment, a burst of laughter could be heard in the air.

Yang Wen who was standing in the Death Arena looked at Duan Ling Tian contemptuously before he said, “Duan Ling Tian, based on your words, this damaged bow is the most valuable item in your possession? How unsightly! Do you really think Elder Nie Zui would have his eyes on this wretched bow of yours? How ludicrous!”

Most of the other Saint Land disciples were also looking at Duan Ling Tian with a mocking smile on their faces.

“Duan Ling Tian must have gone crazy trying to get Contribution Points! With this broken bow, he wants to exchange it for some Contribution Points from Elder Nie Zui? Is he sane?”

“It’s apparent that damaged bow is a cheap item. Even if he gives me Contribution Points to take it, I would still have to consider taking it!”

“How courageous! To think he dares to offer such a bow to Elder Nie Zui!”

The conversations of the Saint Land disciples were filled with contempt. They felt that Duan Ling Tian had gone insane for trying to use a damaged bow to exchange for Contribution Points. Moreover, out of everyone here, he chose to approach Elder Nie Zui. Did he really think Elder Nie Zui was blind?

At this moment, even Liu Yun, Liu Mu, Sun De, and Guan Xiu were frowning as well. They could not see what was so special about that bow.

However, in the next instant, the reaction of the custodian of the Palace of Death, Nie Zui, shocked everyone, including the four of them.

“A-Are you really sure you want to pawn this bow of yours to me?” As Nie Zui held on to the broken bow, he did not seem angry. Instead, he looked at Duan Ling Tian excitedly and seemed to have slightly lost his composure. Naturally, he was so excited because he had discovered how extraordinary the bow was.

He had just roughly weighed the bow, and he immediately noticed that even though its force was not as powerful as a Hundred Inscriptions Saint Weapon, it was more or less the same. Naturally, if it was just a weapon that was almost on par with a Hundred Inscriptions Saint Weapon, Nie Zui would not be interested in it. He was not even interested in Hundred Inscriptions Saint Weapons.

He valued this bow so much because he noticed that although the bowstring was merely inscribed with a few low-grade Saint Inscriptions that it could not even be considered as a Ten Inscriptions Saint Weapon at all, the bow itself was extraordinary.

‘With the tenacity of the bow, it would still be a problem for a bowstring that’s inscribed with several hundreds of Saint Inscriptions to support it!’

Earlier, Nie Zui had tested the bow. Even when he activated the powerful Saint Origin in his body, he still could not bend the bow in his hand. Based on this, one could see just how rare and valuable the material the bow was made from.

“Even if I install a bowstring that’s inscribed with several hundreds of Saint Inscriptions, its force will still overpower most of the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapons out there!” Nie Zui was very certain about this.

Earlier, when he tested the bow in his hand, he noticed the bow contained a mysterious energy as well.

Although the bowstring of this bow was made from the dragon tendon of a Five-clawed Devil Dragon and was merely inscribed with a few low-grade Saint Inscriptions, without taking into consideration of the bow, its force was merely slightly more powerful than an ordinary Ten Inscriptions Saint Weapon. The reason the strength of this bow was almost on par with a Hundred Inscriptions Saint Weapon was mostly due to the mysterious energy contained inside the bow.

“Elder Nie Zui, this bow is not bad, right? I obtained this when I obtained the legacy from the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon. If it’s not because of the Death Duel, I wouldn’t have taken it out so easily!” Duan Ling Tian explained.

“I’d say it’s definitely more than not bad!” When Nie Zui heard how Duan Ling Tian described the bow left behind by the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon, his eyes turned even brighter. At the same time, he asked readily, “Tell me! How much Contribution Points do you want?”

“200,000 Contribution Points will do,” Duan Ling Tian replied as he took out his crystal card and passed it to Nie Zui.

Nie Zui took Duan Ling Tian’s crystal card and transferred 200,000 Contribution Points to him quickly. At the same time, he could not help but sigh emotionally. “Now, I kind of wish that you’ll be killed by Yang Wen. If that’s the case, this bow will belong to me!”

In Nie Zui’s opinions, it was worth it to exchange 200,000 Contribution Points for a Saint Weapon that was far more powerful than a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon!

In the Fire Worship Sect, the price of an ordinary Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon could only be exchanged with 1,000,000 Contribution Points. Not only that, but the supply usually could not meet the demand at all.

Even the most outstanding Saint Inscription Master in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land needed to expand a lot of effort to forge a weapon like that.

The deal between Duan Ling Tian and Nie Zui was completed in just a blink of an eye.

Clamor!

It was only when Duan Ling Tian received the 200,000 Contribution Points that Nie Zui transferred to him and placed a bet on himself with the Bronze Flame Elders from the Palace Of Death that the Saint Land disciples regained their senses. As soon as they regained their senses, a commotion broke out again.

“2-200,000 Contribution Points?!”

“It’s a joke, right?! That broken bow is worth 200,000 Contribution Points?”

“Broken bow? You actually described this bow that was left behind by a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon as a broken bow? How ludicrous!”

“No wonder Elder Nie Zui looked so excited earlier! As it turns out, he could tell the bow was not an ordinary bow! Looks like this bow is indeed left behind by a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon!”

“Hurmph! Duan Ling Tian’s really crazy! To think that he doesn’t even plan to use this godly weapon that was left behind by a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon during the Death Duel. Instead, he pawned it for Contribution Points. He’s really a gambler!”

The Saint Land disciples present on the scene could choose to not believe in Duan Ling Tian’s words, but they believed in Nie Zui’s judgment.

“From now on, we’re no longer taking bets!” The voice of the Bronze Flame Elder of the Palace of Death rang out as soon as Duan Ling Tian placed a 200,000 Contribution Points bet on himself.

At once, everyone began to feel excited because they knew the main event was about to start!
