C266 He Won Just like That(2)

Hua Yi'er!

He suddenly remembered that just now, Lia Jun had looked over with his sword in hand. The tremendous force that was like a mountain pressing down on him descended with a loud bang, causing his heart to tremble and his blood to boil. He couldn't help but take a few steps back. There was no way he could resist it, but at that moment... Hua Yi'er stood out.

It was flat and steady, as if she didn't feel anything out of the ordinary.

"Could it be that she is stronger than me?"

Of course Qu Tenghai did not believe it. After all, Hua Yi'er seemed to be much younger than him. She was just a young girl who had just turned fifteen or sixteen years old. Her face was full of innocence. She was like a blank piece of paper, pure and flawless. How could her martial arts realm be so profound?

Unfortunately, what he did not know was -

When it came to the realm of martial arts, even Ye Xiao and Hua Yi'er could not compare, let alone him...

Of course, Qu Tenghai did not think that way, because he was the same as most of them. He only believed that it was within his expectations or logic. Therefore... He firmly concluded that this must be because Lia Jun had automatically dispersed the pressure the moment Hua Yi'er stood out. That was why the latter could stand so steadily on the ground.

This could indeed be understood this way.

However -

Qu Tenghai thought of the sparkle in Hua Yi'er's eyes when she stood out. It was the seriousness and confidence that came from the depths of her soul. He had completely grasped it, and he had never forgotten it until now. He couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart. He felt that the fifty spirit crystal in his hand was as heavy as thousands of kilograms. He could not throw the ___ any longer. He could not help but step forward and ask:

"You... really think he can win?"

Qu Tenghai took the initiative to come forward. Hua Yi'er was shocked when she heard him. But when she saw this familiar face, she let out a light sigh of relief. At the same time, the divine light in her eyes became even brighter. She raised her proud little face and said,

"Of course. My young master is invincible!"

Invincible?

Do you really think you are Lia Wudi?

Qu Tenghai rolled his eyes when he heard that. The anger in his heart immediately dissipated by more than half, and he even labeled Hua Yi'er as childish.

As long as it was someone who had been beating her up in Cultivation Realm for a period of time, who would dare to call themselves invincible?

As the saying goes, there are people outside. There are mountains outside the mountain, and there are countless experts. There is no strongest, only stronger!

Invincible?

It was just a joke.

Qu Tenghai shook his head and decisively gave up on asking. He turned around and immediately ran towards the open-air casino.

The casino was simple.

Especially under the wooden plaque with Lia Jun's name printed on it, there were only four choices.

"Three moves, one to two."

"One move, one to two."

"Lia Jun wins, one to five."

There was still one more -

"Young man wins, 1: 05... Ten thousand! "

Ten thousand?

Just like all the other warriors who came here, Qu Tenghai was shocked when he saw this number. He was stunned by the odds, but in the next moment, he couldn't help shaking his head and looking away.

What kind of joke was this?

Ten thousand?

Even if it was ten million, no one would dare to bet!

A young man who had just arrived and didn't even know what race he was from. He had never even heard of the Ardent Sun Clan, and Lia Jun was the First Commander of the Red Flame Army. He had fought countless battles, and had followed Lia Wudi for many years. His cultivation level was extremely high. He had a lot of experience. Comparing the two...

How could Lia Jun lose?

"This odds are really like a joke."

Qu Tenghai curled his lips and looked at the other three choices. When he saw the odds clearly, his expression immediately stiffened and became serious.

He was also an old gambler. Of course, he could see the Zhuang family's scheme.

There was only one move and three moves. There were no two moves!

"Looks like these two are guarantors. As long as Lia Jun wins in three moves or one move, they definitely won't lose against each other. As for the third..."

Qu Tenghai only took a glance at the third wooden sign before shifting his gaze away.

One to one and a half.

Are you kidding me?

This was clearly just a bonus for the dealer. The odds were pitifully small. But even so, the numbers on it still reached hundreds of thousands of crystals!

"Truly pulling the wool from the sheep's skin."

Qu Tenghai's brows raised. The fifty spirit crystal in his hand seemed to be somewhat flustered, and he was at a loss as to what to do.

Which one should he choose?

The first or the second one?

The problem was still there, there was no solution.

As for the third, Qu Tenghai did not even think about it.

He only won two and a half pieces... He might as well waste his time.

"Three, one!"

Qu Tenghai frowned. His forehead was almost dripping with sweat. Finally, as if he had finally made up his mind, he gritted his teeth. He was about to throw the crystal away, but at this moment... To his surprise, a young and firm face appeared in the depths of his mind once again.

"My young master is invincible!"

"He will definitely win!"

Pah!

Qu Tenghai's Dao Heart trembled, and his five fingers suddenly trembled. He felt his palm become light, and in the next moment...

Clang!

The crystal fell to a halt!

This sound...

Qu Tenghai immediately had a bad feeling. But at this moment, before he could open his eyes, he heard mocking voices coming from around him.

"Ah? Hahahaha! Qu Tenghai, you are so bold! I really didn't see it before!"

"It's not easy to find 50 crystals. You are going to make a huge bet! How bold! I really underestimated you before."

...

The mocking voice lingered in the air. Qu Tenghai's expression immediately stiffened. He hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at the table below him. He saw fifty spirit crystal steadily landing on the fourth wooden tablet. The odds were -

"One to ten thousand!"

What the f * ck?

Damn it!

For a moment, Qu Tenghai was dumbfounded. His mind was in a state of panic. It was as if he had seen that the fifty spirit crystal were already far away from him and no longer belonged to him. His heart was filled with grief.

"No, no, no, I made a mistake!"

Qu Tenghai was wailing in his heart. He immediately wanted to request from the dealer to retrieve his bargaining chip. Even he knew that this was impossible, because the owner behind this open-air casino was...

However, just at this moment, before he could give it a try and feel vexed over his mistake, suddenly...

"Boom!"

He heard a thunderous sound coming from the direction of the ring. The sound was loud and intense, but it came to an abrupt stop in an instant.

The inside and outside of the casino were two different worlds, but at this moment, there were endless cries of shock coming from afar, causing the entire crowd to explode -

"How is this possible?"

Boom!

The crowd instantly boiled up. As Qu Tenghai turned around in confusion, one person after another rushed towards the ring, as if they wanted to get closer and see what was going on. At this moment, as the crowd gradually dispersed, the square ring finally appeared in front of them once again.

However, the moment everything on the largest ring appeared before their eyes, Qu Tenghai's entire body froze, his eyes widened, and his jaw dropped. He had completely forgotten where he was, and the only thing in his eyes were the two people on the stage.

Ye Xiao.

Lia Jun.

However, the crushing that they had imagined didn't happen. Or rather, it wasn't the crushing that they had imagined.

Clang!

A long blade that was ghastly pale like snow was glistening brilliantly under the illumination of the sunlight, and it was only at this moment that it aroused waves of explosions and fluctuations in space. It swept through the entire crowd and even deeply pierced into the depths of everyone's eyes, and it was filled with shock and astonishment.

Because the hilt of the saber was in the hand of that young man. The blade was pointing at Lia Jun's neck, and it was only a few inches away from his skin!

There were still some cracks. If the young man's arm was trembling...

Pah!

The sound of the blade light was like a clap of thunder. At this moment, the entire Tiger Slope fell into silence. Everything stopped. The only thing that could be seen was Lia Jun's throat. His skin seemed to have been absorbed by the sharp blade light. A red scar spread out, and blood dripped down onto the arena. However, it was like a thunderclap that surged into the sky, and it resounded in the hearts of everyone present.

"How could this be possible?!"

Everyone cried out in shock. It sounded like something was blocking their throats, making them unable to make any sound. Just like Qu Tenghai, he twisted his stiff neck and looked at the gambling table in front of him. His eyes were blurry, as if he was in a dream.0

"I... won?"

How did I win?

I won just like that?

If there was anyone present who could remain calm... Perhaps only Hua Yi'er, who was in the crowd, looked at the exquisite scene on the arena. The worry in the depths of the young girl's clear eyes faded away, leaving only excitement and high pitch. She clenched her small fists, as if the one who won this match in Challenge Competition was herself.

"Ha!"

"Young master is really amazing!"
