"Wait!"
The swing of the sword abruptly stopped in front of , losing its power as White backed down a little bit. He seed confused but he tried not to show it too much. "What is it?" He asked in slight annoyance as he glared at , I could tell that he was itching to fight head-on. After cutting him off like that by shouting 'wait', I did expect him to take it negatively but I never imagined he would take it with contempt.
"You must be thinking that you can get your way either way, right? Even if you lose, you could just overpower and make spill everything I know about the mysterious power you were talking about, right? Of course, it's natural for you to think that since I'm relatively weaker than you. That's why I'm going to propose sothing that would ensure that both sides will get what their want according to the rules set in stone."
"Fine by ." White smugly answered as he raised his chin. He probably thought that whatever I co up with, he would always find a way to work around it. His satisfied expression exuded overconfidence and for a split second, I wanted to slap his head with the palms of my hand for disrespecting a Sect Master but I can't do that. That would just ensure a swifter death for .
"What kind of agreent do you like? Swearing an oath? I give you a handicap? Or do you want everyone else here as witnesses? Or maybe you want to ensure that you won't lose even though you will clearly lose? How would you go about it? Pray, tell ." White continued, grinning.
A smile almost plastered on my face but I held it in. He would've thought that I don't have anything up my sleeves right now. Well, he's in for a surprise.
"With the good graces of the heavens have we been granted life. Life flows like a river, never flowing rearwards. As such blood flows, and blood flows continuously... " I started.
Everyone probably knew what I was doing since they all gasped as I started my chant. With wide eyes of disbelief, everyone around us held their breath as they feared for the worse. They knew what would happen if I ever say sothing incorrectly.
Gah~ I shouldn't think about it too much. I can't afford to make a mistake here and die a pointless death. I an, I'm already dead but dying again might be a bit more painful than normal.
"Blood is the essence of life and blood is the core of life. With this blood, I swear an oath that will never be broken. This oath will be in place and none can alter nor reject it. The contract is in place, and the necessary blood is here."
It was a simple yet deadly oath that is impossible to be broken the Blood Oath. The Blood Oath can be used by anyone and it is the simplest oath to ever exist. Of course, the drawback of using such an oath is huge as well. In simple terms, using this oath causes the user to die five seconds after using it. That's why cultivators use it as a last resort.
But I know that even if I used it, I won't be affected by it, to say the least. I already died five years ago so it won't work on . Although it was quite a risk to use it. I know that it was worth it.
Wide-eyed, White and the others were still holding their breath as I finished the Blood Oath. They knew that I would die in five seconds. Usually, the Blood Oath is used to two people, making the user sacrifice his life so the oath will fall to the two parties. And usually, the Blood Oath doesn't work since the intent of the user was not that strong. Of course, who would want to die for the ske of an oath between two parties? Any sane person wouldn't. That's why the Blood Oath never worked.
