Chapter 137: Gambling
"Big news, big news! The genius of the Ao family, Ao Shiwu, has already issued a war letter, and he wants to gamble with Ren Xiaoyao of the four leaders of the Ye family!"
"Big news, big news! For Ao Shiwu's challenge, Ren Xiaoyao has agreed!"
"The location of the gambling fight is in Wangyunling, three hundred miles east of the star pool, everyone goes to see it......"
......
Throughout the day, the news of Ao Shiwu and Ren Yaoyao's appointment to fight spread among the eighteen families. Since the main members of the Eighteen Families were basically still concentrated near Xingchi at this time, and Ao Shiwu and Ren Xiaoyao were also the hottest genius young men today, the competition between the two naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Many lively guys went to Wangyunling a day in advance to occupy the best viewing position.
By the next day, before Ao Shiwu and Ren Xiaoyao had moved, a large number of spectators had already set off. As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry, and this is a true portrayal at this time.
Wangyun Ling, located not far from the four collars of the Eastern Family, is not owned by any family, and belongs to the Borderland within the Holy Pole Star. The reason why it is called "collar" is because the area of Wangyun Collar is very vast, although it is not comparable to the area of one collar in the eighteen families, but it is also endless, and the only margin is the white clouds on the edge of the sky, so it is famous for Yunling.
On the cloud collar, the terrain is flat, the thatched ground is paved, and the soil is fertile. The clouds in the sky are changing, and the clouds are brilliant, like a fantasy.
At this time, it was early morning, and nearly a thousand people had gathered on Wangyun Ling, all of whom had come to watch the battle. Most of these people are young people from the Eighteen Families, on the one hand, they are watching the battles of the best of their peers, hoping to get a little inspiration and improve their own strength, and on the other hand, they are purely joining in the fun.
Of course, among these nearly a thousand people, there are also a few elders of major families or sub-elders, lords and the like, these old guys are extraordinary, but they can't help the temptation of such a peak battle of the younger generation.
Due to the vast area of Wangyunling, nearly 1,000 people are distributed among them, and they are not crowded, basically in groups of three or five, chatting there.
"I'm really looking forward to it, when I was competing a few days ago, the battle between Ao Shiwu and Ren Xiaoyao opened my eyes, but unfortunately the two of them didn't fight alone. Being able to watch the pinnacle duel between these two geniuses today is not in vain to delay a day's star pool tempering. ”
"That's right, that's right, although the battle a few days ago was exciting, there was no winner or loser, and today we must let them compare with each other!"
"The strength of the two of them is not much different from that of Dongfang Yu, the first day of the Holy State, if one of them wins, it is almost equivalent to establishing the name of the first day of the Holy State!"
......
In the noise, time flies, and before you know it, an hour has passed.
Some people are already a little impatient and wonder: is there a mistake in the news, there is no gambling at all?
"When has this been, why haven't people on both sides come yet?"
"Yes, I look at the entire Wangyun Ling, there are people from the other sixteen families, but there are no people from the Ao family and the Ye family!"
"We're not going to be tricked, damn it!"
However, at this time, those who showed impatience were basically some young people with relatively poor strength -- cultivating together is similar to being a human being, but those who are impatient are impatient with things on weekdays, and it is difficult for them to achieve results on the way to cultivation.
Those young people with higher talent and superior strength, as well as the older generation who have already achieved something, are still waiting with peace of mind, not in a hurry or impatient.
In this more than an hour, there have also been some eye-catching episodes, such as the first day of the Dongfang family, which is also the current "first genius of the three-star holy state in a thousand years" Dongfang Yu, who also came to watch the battle.
Dongfang Yu's arrival made the scene boil slightly for a while, but because he was not the protagonist of this gambling fight, the movement he could cause was limited.
Another half hour passed.
In the northern sky, a blue light shone in the sky, quickly appearing on the edge of the Wangyun Ling, approaching the center of the crowd.
"It's a proud person!"
The sharp-eyed man immediately shouted.
In the blink of an eye, the Ao family and his party came to the crowd, and the people of the various families took the initiative to get out of the way and give them a place.
There were a total of six people from the Ao family, five of whom were middle-aged or elderly, and the other was surrounded in the middle, who was one of the protagonists of this gambling fight - Ao Shiwu.
"It's Ao Shiwu who is here, it seems that the news is correct, and there will indeed be a gambling fight today. ”
"Of course, how can such a boiling event spread throughout the Eighteen Families be fake?"
"Ao Shiwu, you are so handsome, I support you!"
......
As soon as Ao Shiwu arrived, all kinds of voices sounded one after another, and everyone's enthusiasm was ignited again. Some of the people who had waited too long and lost their patience also regained their patience and were full of excitement about the upcoming gambling fight.
"Haven't the Ye family and Ren Xiaoyao come yet?"
Ao Shiwu glanced around, his eyes burned, but he didn't find Ren Xiaoyao and the Ye family. He didn't ask anyone exactly in this sentence, but just spoke into the air.
But as soon as his words came out, several people nearby immediately rushed to answer: "Young Master Ao, they haven't come yet! With the mediocre strength of the Ye family, it is really beyond their strength to dare to put on such a show!"
"In my opinion, that guy Ren Xiaoyao is afraid of Young Master Ao's methods, so he doesn't dare to come!"
"Hahaha......"
The people around him were sycophants and laughing, but Ao Shiwu's expression remained unchanged, still cold and arrogant.
He glanced indifferently at those sycophants, and said coldly: "Ren Xiaoyao will come, he is not a timid person." ”
In a word, immediately shut up all the noisy guys around you.
After Ao Shiwu said that, he found a flat place by himself, sat on the grass, and quietly closed his eyes to cultivate. Seeing this scene, the people around did not dare to approach or speak loudly at will, and gathered in groups not far away, quietly waiting for the other party to arrive.
At this time, it was close to noon, and the sun was gradually moving from the west to the north. Half of the day has passed, but Ren Xiaoyao and the people of the Ye family still haven't shown up.
There were many dissatisfied voices in the crowd: Is Ren Xiaoyao really scared and won't come? Even if he doesn't come, he should send someone over to say it out of politeness, right?
However, as a party to the party, Ao Shiwu has been sitting quietly cross-legged, and the blue light around his body is constantly swallowing, obviously entering a state of cultivation. This half-day wait did not wear down his patience in the slightest, and it also showed the calmness of his heart.
It is slanting eastward.
Look, the sun is about to set. On the cloud collar, everyone was already quite impatient. Even some of the older generation of powerful and high-ranking figures began to complain.
"Ren Xiaoyao, this junior, really doesn't understand the rules, bullshit!"
"Hmph, it's just a coward, you should send someone to come and tell you! It's about to be sunset, and this kid won't be able to come!"
"It's really a vain wait, Lang wasted time refining in the star pool!"
......
In the midst of everyone's scolding and complaints, Ao Shiwu, who had always been in cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes.
He looked at the southern sky, his eyes burning.
"Look, they're coming!"
"It's the Ye family, the one in the middle who flies with the wings of the stars, isn't that Ren Yao!"
Everyone looked at the southern sky, where a group of people was flying quickly. However, in terms of the scene, the Ye family is a little worse than the Dongfang family, with only two accompanying elders, and some accompanying young people, it is estimated that they are only here to watch the battle. As for Ren Xiaoyao, the 'protagonist' of the Ye family and his party, he looks far inferior to Ao Shiwu.
The golden star power and the blue star power give everyone a completely different feeling.
Ren Xiaoyao is so late, and he has no advantage on the surface, so he is naturally looked down upon by many people.
What's more, some people from the family who were not friendly with the Ye family applauded one after another, cursing or ridiculing Ren Xiaoyao.
Proud of the world, came out of the crowd and arrived at the opposite side of Ren Xiaoyao.
"Ren Xiaoyao, you are so good that you have made so many people wait for a day. Ao Shiwu sneered, wanting to take the opportunity to arouse everyone's dissatisfaction and influence Ren Yao's mentality.
Ren Xiaoyao smiled indifferently: "Didn't you say it's today?" You see, the sun hasn't set in the east yet, and I'm not late, it's just that you're early." ”
For such a shameless statement, it has caused many people to abuse, but Ren Xiaoyao doesn't care at all.
The reason why he came so late was naturally out of tactics -- on the one hand, he took the lead by waiting for work, and on the other hand, he was also dissipating his fighting spirit and sharpness.
The clash of masters is often only worse than the first line, and Ren Xiaoyao is a person who pays great attention to details, so before the battle starts, he has already begun to calculate.
However, at this moment, Ao Shiwu seems to have not been affected in any way, and he is still arrogant.
"Now that you're here, let's get started, without further ado. ”
Ao Shiwu said lightly, signaling the people of the Ao family around him to retreat. At the same time, the spectators of the other surrounding families also retreated and took the initiative to give up enough space for the competition.
"Slow!" Ren Xiaoyao stretched out a palm and pouted coldly, "No, Ao Shiwu, you seem to have forgotten something." ”
"Hmph. ”
Ao Shiwu snorted coldly and waved his hand to the people of the Ao family behind him.
After a while, a young man from the proud family stepped forward, with all kinds of reluctance in his expression, and his face was like a bitter melon. This young man is the guy who went to the Ye family's camp yesterday to deliver the war book. Yesterday he was still in high spirits, but now he is completely wilted.
"Young Master, I'm ......"
"Smack!"
Ao Shiwu didn't say a word, and slapped him directly.
"Oops......"
The young man screamed in pain, but only half of the scream, the latter half was indistinct, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, interspersed with several teeth.
When he turned his face again, his face was already swollen like steamed buns, and he couldn't open one eye. If you look at this, you won't be able to speak for at least three to five days.
Seeing this situation, the people watching the battle around were confused and confused: why did Ao Shiwu hit his own family just because Ren Xiaoyao had no beginning or end in his words, and he was still so ruthless?
"How's it going, satisfied?"
"Yes, yes, you have to fight a dog like this, Brother Ao is really crisp enough, I like it. ”
Ren Xiaoyao smiled and signaled that it was time to start. The Ye family behind him also stepped back, completely giving up space for the competition.
