_Chapter 45: Life and Death
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info if it is dark today, just wait for dawn, it is the time of the decisive battle of life and death.
In the past two days, Chu Chen has stayed at home, and the two Quenching Pills have been used up, and now his cultivation is stable in the Quenching Body Realm. With the support of a strong physique, the power of Cangyan Fist and basic sword moves is even stronger than before.
Although he didn't go out, the people who passed by Tingyu Pavilion still inadvertently left some news.
Someone opened a gambling game on this battle of life and death, with a total of two handicaps. The strange thing is that the odds of the two handicaps are completely opposite, the same Chu Chen wins, one is one to ten, and the other is ten to one.
At first glance, it seems that these two groups of people have a grudge, otherwise why would they open such two-for-tat bets?
Just turning his head and thinking about it, Chu Chen felt that something was wrong, and he vaguely understood the intentions of the people behind the scenes.
……
The night passed quickly, and the light of the next day fell.
The platform of life and death, surrounded by mountains, is said to be a platform, but it is actually more accurate to call it a valley or pit.
Today is a good day, with a pleasant breeze and a long morning glow.
The glow of the sun is sprinkled, and the mountains around the platform of life and death are like a layer of golden-red veil, which looks full of charm.
The surrounding mountains are not high, only 100 zhang, but the mountains are steep, and the rock walls are like knives, and there is no reason to take advantage of the situation to go down. In addition, the top of the mountain is flush, and walking on it is like walking on the ground.
This is the special terrain of life and death, the surrounding flat-topped mountains are the places to watch the battle, and the deep valleys below are the places of decisive battles. Once the decisive battle on the platform of life and death begins, there is no way for the people on the mountain to go down and interfere.
As time went on, slowly, more and more people gathered on the flat-topped mountain.
Especially the two handicaps facing each other in the north and south, the surroundings are even more lively. On the one hand, some people are scrambling to raise, and on the other hand, some people are scolding the dealer for having his brain caught in the door.
The first to come were the outer disciples, and then the inner disciples came to cheer one after another, and then later, the demon birds were empty, but even the elite disciples came.
When people saw the cyan figure coming slowly, the scene suddenly boiled.
"Senior Sister Bining, it's the first Senior Sister of Qingxiao Pavilion!"
"Could it be that the rumors are true, the first seat of Qingxiao Pavilion looks at Chu Chen differently, and is also optimistic that he will win in this battle of life and death?"
"I wonder if the two of Lei Xiao Hall and Jade Xiao Palace will appear? But I don't think so, those two people who are not in the sect all the year round must not know such a thing at all! ”
Facing the awe-inspiring gazes around her, Bi Ning walked slowly, and where she passed, a passage naturally spread out in front of her. When she stood on the edge of the mountain, there was no one around, and everyone only dared to watch from afar.
The first seat of Qingxiao Pavilion, the shadow of a famous tree, even though she is as gentle as water, is not something that ordinary people dare to approach!
"Hehe, this guy, he hasn't come yet, when are you going to let us wait?" Looking around, Bi Ning didn't find Chu Chen's figure, but not far away, a blue-clothed disciple was surrounded by a group of people, presumably Yu Tao.
Sure enough, the blue-clothed disciple stood still, glanced around, and said wildly: "Chu Chen, that kid, don't you dare to come?" ”
Such words naturally attracted a burst of ridicule and contempt. It's not that these people defend Chu Chen so much, it's just that they all bet, and the Chu Chen who bought it wins, or the super odds of one to ten, they naturally don't want to see Yu Tao arrogant.
"Scold, scold, when I walk out of the platform of life and death alive, you will know, Chu Chen, is just a waste that is not as good as a fart!" Yu Tao couldn't stop laughing.
When everyone frowned and cursed, a commotion came from behind them.
"It's better to be a little self-aware, are you right, Yu Tao?" In the crowd, the Jackal brothers walked out.
"Oh? It turned out to be two senior brothers, do you think what I said is wrong? Or are you scared by Chu Chen's kid? Yu Tao chuckled, his expression indescribably mocking.
Brother Jackal was furious, this Yu Tao really didn't know what to do, and he didn't want to think about what he was, could he compare with Chu Chen? Do you really think that the name of their outer door ranking eighth and ninth is decoration?
"Yu Tao, you'd better apologize immediately, otherwise, before the life and death platform opens, we don't mind letting you lack arms and legs!" Liu Jackal's face was gloomy.
The reason why his two brothers stood up was that they couldn't get used to Yu Tao's arrogant appearance. It doesn't matter if Yu Tao belittles Chu Chen, the important thing is that they were defeated by Chu Chen, if Chu Chen is a waste who is not as good as a fart, then what are the two of them?
"Apologize? Why should I apologize? Am I saying something wrong? Like, there is no such thing as the strong apologizing to the weak, right? Yu Tao just laughed, and the endless arrogance was undoubtedly highlighted.
Everyone looked sideways, this Yu Tao was really arrogant, could it be that he was driven crazy by the pressure of the battle of life and death?
Otherwise, how could he have the confidence to say such a thing, facing the top ten jackal brothers in the outer gate, he actually dared to put himself in the position of the strong!
"Since you're so ignorant, then don't blame me for being unkind!" Liu Jackal's eyes were cold, and Yu Tao's arrogance had completely angered him.
"Wind Strike!"
With a loud shout, Liu Jackal attacked decisively. The same move is a hundred blows, and it is completely different from the hands of Liu Wolf.
After all, Liu Jackal ranked eighth, one level higher than Liu Wolf who was ninth.
Seeing that Liu Jackal shot with all his strength, and the claws were heavy, everyone exclaimed, saying that Yu Tao would definitely be defeated.
Yu Tao snorted coldly, with disdain on his face, he suddenly drew his sword, and the neon of the Dao Dao spread out like flames. only heard a crisp sound of "crackling", and before everyone could react, the two had already separated.
Everyone looked intently, and suddenly retreated in unison, gasping.
Blood, bright red blood!
Blood was dripping on the ground, and the sound was so clear. It's just that the source of the blood is not Yu Tao, but Liu Jackal, who everyone thinks will win.
Liu Jackal still maintained the posture of punching, but his original intact sleeves had disappeared, and his entire arm was covered with sword marks, and his flesh and blood were rolled.
"Impossible...... This can't be ......" Liu Jackal's face was pale, sweat was pouring down on his forehead, and the whole person muttered to himself, as if he had fallen into a demonic barrier.
Everyone retracted their gaze and looked left and right, and suddenly a chill rose from their hearts.
Liu Jackal, who ranked eighth, was defeated like this! Defeated so completely, there was no resistance at all. As a result, an irrefutable fact is in front of us, Yu Tao is no longer the Yu Tao of the past.
Although all the previous news indicated that Chu Chen would win in the end, that judgment was based on the previous judgment of Yu Tao's strength. In the face of today's Yu Tao, can Chu Chen win? Can it really?
If not, then ......
Thinking about it, everyone's hearts gradually sank. You must know that nearly ninety percent of the people are buying Chu Chensheng at a loss of ten, and many people even put on their entire net worth.
Once Chu Chen is defeated, then they will lose all their money!
Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and there will be no big pie out of thin air. Listening to the shouts from the two handicaps, for a moment, everyone only felt like a bayonet cone, so harsh!
In the other place, Bi Ning retracted her gaze and smiled, "In exchange for a lifetime of potential in exchange for a mere cultivation of the Ninth Fold, this price is inevitably too great!" ”
After a long wait, finally, an emaciated figure appeared on the mountain road. Like a boy who travels in the mountains and rivers, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
"Humph! If you live a little longer, you can open your eyes and see this colorful world again! On the Pingding Mountain, Yu Tao sneered all over his face.
Everyone was silent, and their hearts were inexplicably heavy. The battle that is about to start is not only related to the survival of Chu Chen and Yu Tao, but also related to the family wealth they have worked so hard to save.
Chu Chen stepped on the top of the mountain and finally turned his face.
Seeing Yu Tao with his hands on his chest and an arrogant face, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, smiled, and looked quite kind.
Everyone was amazed and couldn't believe their eyes. Obviously, it was Chu Chen who gave Yu Tao a war letter and agreed to fight on the platform of life and death, why does it seem that he seems to be an outsider now? What kind of play is this?
Yu Tao was also stunned, Chu Chen's smile made him inexplicable, and he was furious.
Just as he was about to return the color, Chu Chen had already ignored him and walked directly to Bi Ning's side. As if there was nowhere to release a charged punch, Yu Tao was so sad at the moment that he just wanted to vomit blood.
"So many people, you still come to me, aren't you afraid of being burned to death by their jealousy?" Looking at Chu Chen, who was approaching step by step, Bining covered her mouth and smiled.
Chu Chen came to Bi Ning's side and stopped, looked left and right, and was really a fire-breathing gaze. He shook his head speechlessly, and said after a while: "Thank you!" ”
Bi Ning shook her head, and said with a smile: "No thanks." You know? Some people think they are sitting in the bank to open the market, I bought about 100,000 star stones, I didn't dare to buy too much, I'm afraid they can't afford to lose! ”
Chu Chen was momentarily stunned, thinking that he could only get two star stones a month now, and Bi Ning could take 100,000 star stones to play, and he didn't care about it, it was really better than people to be damned, and the goods should be thrown away!
After a while, Chu Chen let out a sigh and said with a smile: "Ten times the odds, 100,000 will soon become a million, I think, someone will definitely hate you to death!" ”
"If you want to hate, you will hate you to death! Less wordy, don't you end it yet? It's getting dark, and I'm still waiting to get the star stone home! Bi Ning scolded with a smile.
Chu Chen nodded, turned around and came to the blood dripping platform. Seeing this, Yu Tao was very excited, and followed in three steps and two steps.
"Chu Chen, you came so late, shouldn't you be afraid?" Yu Tao sneered as he slashed his fingers and dripped blood onto the stone platform.
Chu Chen smiled, and also dripped blood, "Someone rushed to send him to death, and God couldn't stop it!" ”
"You just have a hard mouth!" Yu Tao was not angry, just laughed.
As the blood of both sides submerged into the dripping platform, the stone platform trembled slightly, and in an instant, the dazzling red light plane extended, completely blocking the valley mouth above the life and death platform.
"Life and death are complete, life and death are open!"
Remembering Tianyin in the dark, Yu Tao glanced at Chu Chen defiantly, and took the lead in stepping on the blood-colored light curtain. Step by step, like walking in the air, each step falls, the feet are rippling, and the blood is dripping.
