Chapter 935: The Insidious Offer.
Black Chain’s explanation for the delay wasn’t good enough for Sword Maestro. But the Dao Lord of the Sword Way Sect didn’t dare to lash out at Black Chains.Instead, Sword Maestro began to beg him. He entreated Black Chains to save him, but no matter how Sword Maestro begged, Black Chains refused to move.
Meanwhile, within the world barrier, Loki had the avatar on the ground and was beating him. It didn’t look like what Black Chains was expecting.
However, the avatar still said to Loki, "When Black Chains enters the world barrier, I swear on my Dao to help you hold him back and kill him as long as you let me go."
"The world barrier will try to kill him once he arrives. I will hold him down and keep him from escaping while you and the world barrier work together on killing him."
"Even if we fail to kill Black Chains, my previous oath is still valid. I will help you to advance to rank 10 as long as you let me go."
Sword Maestro’s words confused Loki a little bit. He understood what Sword Maestro was asking of him. But Loki was particularly confused about the part where the world barrier would attack Black Chains.
So he said, "Why will the world barrier attack Black Chains? Isn’t the world barrier in control of the will of the world? Doesn’t the will of the world support every Dao Lord?"
As he spoke, he punched the avatar in the chest. His fist smashed through the avatar’s body, inflicting severe damage to it. Then he grabbed some of the flesh in the wound and ripped it out.
Clearly, he was curious, which was why he was willing to engage with the avatar and ask a question. But that didn’t mean he was willing to ease off on his attacks just yet.
Even though Loki attacked him, the avatar still answered his question, saying, "Black Chains imprisoned and sealed the will of the Blessed Heaven World. He has been trying to enslave it for a long time."
"That’s just one of the things he has done to offend the Blessed Heaven World. There are many other things he has done, so the will of the world hates him to the bones and will try to kill him with any opportunity it gets."
Loki didn’t entirely believe this explanation, so he said, "I’ll believe it when I see it."
"If what you claim is right and the will of the world will help me to kill him, I might take you up on your deal. Until then, I will keep trying to kill you."
To be honest, Loki was inclined to go with the deal because if Black Chains did come to rescue Sword Maestro in the world barrier, he wouldn’t be able to fight the two of them effectively without his external body.
Without his external body, he won’t be able to use the world around him to fight them. He would have to use his abilities, which would surely split his power output to deal with the two of them.
Plus, he couldn’t replenish his lifespan effectively in the world barrier, so it would be easy for the two of them to overwhelm him. Since he had a chance of losing out, he decided that it was a smart decision to settle for an option that would ensure that he gained some benefits no matter how the fight turned out.
