"Boy, although our Golden Hook Terrace is hospitable, if you don't know how to lift, don't blame us for being polite. ”

Seeing Lu Ping'an and the two mouthing disrespectful words in front of the shopkeeper one after another, the old dealer's old face couldn't help but show a trace of anger.

As he spoke, he saw several guards on the field bully forward, faintly surrounding the two in the middle.

"Stand down. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere in the air was becoming more and more tense, Tao Shiqian stopped in a deep voice.

"But Momoshi-sama, they ...... just now"

The old dealer raised his voice slightly, and he looked loyal to the owner, and he couldn't see a trace of disobedience.

"I command you to stand down and not let me speak a third time. ”

Tao Shiqian narrowed his eyes and repeated, his tone a little lower.

Seeing that Tao Shiqian had spoken to this extent, the old dealer reluctantly waved his hand and motioned for the guards to retreat.

In fact, Tao Shiqian is not afraid of Lu Ping'an.

With the power of the Hundred Food Clan in Yongcheng, even if a cultivator from the Yuanwu Realm or even the Reincarnation Realm came to the door, their clan could deal with it.

But Tao Shiqian heard it very clearly just now, Lu Ping'an had the admission certificate of Jixia Academy on his body.

And the tone of the other party at that time obviously didn't look like he was telling a lie.

Jixia Academy has been established for thousands of years, and it has a profound heritage, and compared with this behemoth, their Hundred Food Clan is completely an ant-like existence.

Even if the young man in front of him was just a new disciple of the Jixia Academy, it was not easy for them to move.

"Ahem, the unpleasantness just now, everyone should pretend that it didn't happen. ”

After readjusting his emotions, Tao Shiqian said to Lu Ping'an with a straight face, "This guest, before the gambling game started, I have already made it very clear that if there is no bet of comparable value......

"Hahahaha! Say a thousand things and ten thousand, don't you still can't afford to lose? Brother Tian, let's go!"

To everyone's surprise, Tao Shiqian was only halfway through his speech, when he saw Lu Ping'an suddenly look up to the sky and laugh for no reason, and he was about to leave.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yuebai didn't know what Lu Ping'an was crazy about, and she didn't want to give up the gambling game, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

"Hehe, Miss Jiang, don't you understand?"

Lu Ping'an sneered, glanced at Tao Shiqian and said, "When I first came to Yongcheng, I heard people talk about it, they said that the shopkeeper of the Golden Hook Platform was just a waste with no cultivation talent, and it was all up to the proper management of the Golden Hook Platform for the family to maintain today's status. ”

"Tao Shiqian just saw that I was sure of victory, and panicked, worried that his undefeated golden body would be broken, which would affect the business of Golden Hook Terrace, so he tried to force me to withdraw on the grounds that he did not bet enough. ”

In fact, Jiang Yuebai would stop herself, as early as Lu Ping'an's plan.

It was at this opportunity that his words seemed more natural and more heartfelt.

When they met just now, Lu Ping'an habitually used the devouring system to detect Tao Shiqian's bloodline level.

As a result, he was surprised to find that the latter only had the lower grade of the Yellow Order, which could almost be said to be the lowest category.

According to this, Lu Ping'an organized the above remarks in an attempt to provoke Tao Shiqian.

Who knew that his words accurately hit Tao Shiqian's weakness.

For Tao Shiqian, what he hated the most in his life was that others were talking about and ridiculing his bloodline qualifications behind his back.

"How could I be afraid of you? How could I lose!"

Tao Shiqian clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said loudly.

"Lord Peach, don't fall for this kid's radical method!"

The old dealer has been working in the Golden Hook Station for many years and has seen too many gamblers who are messing around.

At this time, he vaguely sensed Lu Ping'an's purpose, and hurriedly reminded Tao Shiqian on the side: "He obviously can't get the bet, so he is talking nonsense here, beating you upside down, trying to lure you into ......"

"Shut up!"

Tao Shiqian interrupted, and then shifted his gaze to look at Lu Ping'an, "Okay, okay, I will allow you to enter the game!" But in addition to these scrap copper and rotten iron, you will have to kowtow to me three times in a row after you lose!"

The Golden Hook family has a big business, and they don't care about making one or two less money.

And his glory as the shopkeeper of the Golden Hook Terrace and as a member of the Peach Food Lineage of the Hundred Food Clan must not be insulted!

"Hehe, okay, it's no problem to kowtow a hundred heads, I won't lose anyway. ”

Seeing that the radical method worked, Lu Ping'an was overjoyed and happily accepted Tao Shiqian's bet.

In this way, Lu Ping'an and Jiang Yuebai also came to the guillotine and put on shackles.

The gambling game "life and death" officially began!

Click!

As the old dealer pressed the mechanism placed on the side wall of the hall, the floor in front of the guillotine slowly parted to the sides.

After a while, a deep pit about two feet square was seen, and it appeared from under the ground.

When she saw the things piled up in the deep pit, Jiang Yuebai's eyelids couldn't help jumping.

It turned out that it was a dozen corpses with severed neck bones and separate human heads.

Some of them had only been dead for a short time, while others had already rotted into bones.

The bloody air rushed to the face, which made people shudder.

"These are gamblers who have participated in the 'life and death line', although they lost their lives, they are all winners, and I have given them the treasures they deserve. ”

Tao Shiqian pointed to the artifacts mixed among the corpses in the deep pit, and explained with a grim smile, "So, on a certain level, I have lost many times, but the price of winning against me is a little bigger. ”

At the same time, the door of the hall was also opened by the guards, and a group of gamblers who heard the news and were curious to come to see the excitement flocked in and watched in a circle not far away.

Letting these people in is not only to make them witnesses, but also to attract gamblers.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the air became more and more tense.

The gold wire rope of the suspended axe has a special method of weaving, and the longitudinal load-bearing capacity is extremely strong, and it is not possible to see whether it is taut with the naked eye, but it can be easily cut by cutting from the transverse.

Creak...... Creak......

In order, the first person to cut the rope was Momoto Shiqian, and when he saw that he looked relaxed and calm, he held a special long-handled cutter with his hand in the shackles, and cut a gold wire rope near the middle.

"Hahahaha, after all, it's a 1 in 20 probability, and it's too difficult to win the first draw. ”

Seeing that the axe did not fall, Tao Shiqian laughed with a hint of regret. Listening to that tone, it was as if he was looking forward to being chosen.

Next, the cutter was handed over to Lu Ping'an and Jiang Yuebai one after another, and in the end, the two also did not choose the gold wire rope to hang the axe.

But unlike the flamboyant Tao Shiqian, they have always remained silent.

"Let me see which one to choose this time......

Seeing this, Tao Shiqian sneered in his heart, and while shaking the blade back and forth between the remaining golden wire ropes, he deliberately raised his voice, affecting the mentality of Lu Ping'an and the others.

He knew very well that although Lu Ping'an and Jiang Yuebai still seemed to be calm now, as the gambling game progressed, the psychological defense line of the two would become more and more fragile.

This gamble is different from the life-and-death struggle between cultivators.

Battles are ever-changing, there is not so much time to think, and the process of "life and death" is relatively slow.

Even if the participants muster up courage, the courage will slowly wear out over time and in constant hesitation.

And the reason why Tao Shiqian does not have any psychological pressure is because he is not in danger.

It turned out that inside the thick wooden planks of the beam below the guillotine, there was a layer of partition metal plate of the same material as the Water Stygian Axe secretly embedded in it.

Although the force of the Water Stygian Axe when it falls, under the block of the metal plate, the safety of the personnel in the shackles below can be completely guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about being killed by the giant axe.

When the rules were introduced before, Tao Shiqian did not explain that this situation was a violation, and Lu Ping'an and Jiang Yuebai did not object to this.

The gamble is cruel, and you can only blame yourself for not thinking it through enough.

As for the decapitated corpse in the pit, it was specially found by Tao Shiqian from elsewhere in order to distract the opponent's attention and increase the intimidation effect.

Although this trick is very simple, those who come into contact with the "line between life and death" for the first time will definitely pay attention to the gold rope and axe as key props, or the guards who are preparing for the work, whether they will collude with themselves.

In short, it is impossible for the other party to think that above the shackles, there will be a protective partition layer.

Creak!

At this time, Tao Shiqian cut a golden wire rope again, but the axe above was still safe.

"Whew, it's okay, it's okay, the fourth knife is not broken. ”

Tao Shiqian said to himself, handed the cutter to the old dealer, turned his head to Lu Ping'an with a malicious face, and said, "Hey, you have to pay attention to it, the guests haven't seen it yet." ”

Lu Ping'an took the cutter silently and did not pay attention to Tao Shiqian.

I saw that he looked up at the sixteen gold wire ropes that were still left in front of him, and he didn't put down the knife for a long time.

"Hehe, eighty percent can't hold it back, it looks like I'm going to win soon. ”

Seeing Lu Ping'an's performance, the corners of Tao Shiqian's mouth rose, and he thought in his heart.

However, just when Tao Shiqian thought he was sure of victory, Lu Ping'an's words made his heart fall to the bottom in an instant.
