Chapter 302: Nangong Qi
The fourth prince was furious when he heard this, and he scolded sharply: "It seems that you clearly want to do the right thing with me? ”
The eighth prince was not stunned at all, and said loudly: "At the Human Emperor Conference, you and I are mortal enemies, how can we talk about opposing each other? ”
"In that case, it's better to go to the outside of the city to fight, and the winner will get the sword blank!" The four princes no longer talked nonsense, and directly invited them to challenge, looking at the posture, it seemed that they wanted to blow up the eight princes.
And the eighth prince is not stupid, knowing that his brother grew up from the border, and has experienced countless battles large and small, among the major princes, he is definitely the top in terms of personal combat strength, and without the certainty of victory, the eighth prince will naturally not fight to the death.
So, the eighth prince shook his head and refused: "Today I only have the interest of gambling stones, and I have no interest in fighting with you!" ”
The roots of the four princes' angry teeth itched, but they were helpless, he knew the rules that did not allow fighting in the imperial city.
Even if he is a prince, he must abide by it.
On the other side, Lin Fan, who had seen enough of the excitement, also slowly withdrew his finger, he looked at the two brothers with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "Two, when I said 10 million, I only sold 10 million, not 10 million. ”
"Huh? What do you mean? Isn't the price a sale? Hearing that things had taken a turn for the better, the fourth prince hurriedly raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Fan.
And when the eighth prince heard the word price, he seemed to understand something, he glanced at Lin Fan and secretly scolded him for cheating.
Lin Fan didn't pay attention to Ji Ba, he smiled at the four princes and said: "The price of 10 million is to make 10 million in my future bet, Your Highness can bet with me next, if Your Highness wins, this Thunder Sword Blank will naturally belong to Your Highness, if Your Highness loses...... Hey, hey, hey! ”
Lin Fan didn't say any more, but replaced it with a smile.
The fourth prince naturally understood what Lin Fan meant, this guy wanted to continue to gamble.
And listening to what those onlookers said just now, he seems to be planning to earn 100 million emperor crystals in one day, and then looking at Ji Ning next to him, his purpose of earning 100 million emperor crystals is self-evident!
After figuring out the crux of the problem, the fourth prince grinned and said loudly: "I see, it seems that Daoist friends are quite confident in their gambling stone skills!" ”
"That's natural, I call myself the God of Gambling, I dare to say that there is no one more clever than me on the Zhongzhou Continent!" Lin Fan was very arrogant.
This is naturally deliberate on his part, he knows that the more arrogant he is now, the more he will be able to attract the other party to bet against him, and at the same time, he will be able to get 100 million emperor crystals faster.
The fourth prince was naturally a little displeased when he heard this, his face was no longer enthusiastic, but looked at Lin Fan with an almost provocative gaze: "Hmph, I haven't seen you so arrogant when I'm so old!" ”
Lin Fan put his hands behind his back and continued: "No, now you see it?" If His Royal Highness really wants it, then bet against me! ”
The expression of the fourth prince was a little angry, he turned back to the subordinates behind him and said, "Invite the seniors of Nangong, today I will let him know what the price of arrogance is!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was moved.
Even the faces of the Eighth Prince and the Great Prince changed slightly.
And Ji Ning's calm face also showed a hint of unease, she slowly walked behind Lin Fan and whispered, "Be careful!" ”
Lin Fan naturally saw the change in the expressions of the people around him, so he asked, "What?" Who is this Nangong senior? ”
Ji Ning didn't transmit the sound, but said in a low voice: "This Nangong predecessor is the first person in Zhongzhou to gamble on stones thousands of years ago, and he once cut out the supreme immortal material, and it is rumored that he has another pair of divine eyes that can see through the stone layer!" ”
"Hundreds of years ago, he announced the closure of the mountain, but once the fourth prince had a great favor for him, he invited this time, and it is possible that Nangong seniors will come in person!"
After listening to Ji Ning's words, Lin Fan couldn't help but be careful, it was not unusual to be able to see through the divine eyes of the stone layer.
Now, after Lin Fan practiced Lei Yunzi's secret technique, he was also able to penetrate the surface of the stone layer, but it was all for ordinary stones, and in this last layer of courtyard, there were very few stones that could be penetrated.
However, no matter what, the other party was also a person who had been immersed in this path for many years, and he must have been exposed to countless stones mined near the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court, and he was definitely able to crush Lin Fan in terms of experience.
Therefore, Lin Fan also had to be cautious.
After a while, the gambling stone master found by the Eighth Prince and the Great Prince had already come to this small courtyard.
Both of them are gray-haired old men, and after seeing the two princes, they bowed calmly.
Then, the two of them looked at Lin Fan in unison, and it seemed that they didn't need the introduction of the two princes, they could feel that Lin Fan would be their next opponent.
Lin Fan was naturally not afraid, he looked at him calmly.
Afterwards, the eighth prince and the eldest prince talked about the matter here, and at first, their faces were full of confidence.
But when they heard that the fourth prince had gone to invite a Nangong senior, the faces of the two suddenly changed greatly.
Then, the two of them each whispered to their lords, and then, the faces of the eldest prince and the eighth prince were also a little unnatural.
Obviously, these two gambling stone masters thought that their skills were not as good as those of Nangong seniors.
Seeing this scene, Lin Fan felt a little painful, he originally just planned to use the Thunder Ni Sword Blank as bait and drag another person into the water.
However, unexpectedly, it was indeed self-defeating, and it led to a master.
Now, the name of the master is outside, and the eldest prince and the eighth prince are frightened, if only the four princes bet on themselves, it will not only be extremely slow, but also the other party's Nangong predecessor does not know what his skills are.
If you lose, you'll lose a lot!
But at this point, there is no use in saying more, so we can only continue to wait.
Moments later, there was another cacophony outside the courtyard.
Everyone hurriedly looked out, and saw that the subordinates of the fourth prince came to this small courtyard with a young man dressed in blue and white clothes.
The young man is extremely handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, long hair standing high, and a very clean beard, after seeing the four princes, the young man immediately greeted him, he took a folding fan in his hand and bowed slightly to the four princes and said: "I have seen the four highnesses!" ”
The fourth prince was a little surprised, and he said in a deep voice: "Nangong Qi, I went to invite Nangong seniors, why are you here?" ”
Nangong Qi smiled slightly and said, "The family teacher is not feeling well today, and it is inconvenient to come here, so he sent me to help the fourth prince seize the Thunder Ni Sword Blank." ”
After that, he flicked the folding fan, and the white folding fan "snapped" open, and there was a vigorous big character on the fan - stone!
The fourth prince glanced at Nangong Qi with some surprise and said, "Nangong seniors know everything?" ”
Nangong Qi nodded and said, "The family master felt the fluctuation of the Thunder Purple Gold, plus you sent someone to invite it, so naturally I understood a thing or two." ”
The fourth prince looked at Nangong Qi, and then at Lin Fan, and finally he said in a deep voice: "Okay, since this is the case, then there is Gongzi Lao Qi, if you can take this Thunder Ni Sword Blank, I owe Gongzi Qi a favor!" ”
Nangong Qi smiled and waved his hand: "Your Highness is serious, why worry about such a trivial matter?" ”
Then, he put the folding fan behind him and looked at Lin Fan and said, "Fellow Daoist, I wonder if we can start?" ”
Lin Fan looked at Nangong Qi's handsome face and smiled slightly, and then said, "Of course, you can do it at any time!" ”
He was ready to deal with the old one, but he didn't expect that the old one didn't take a fancy to him, but sent a small one.
And the gambling stone master under the command of the eldest prince and the eighth prince on the side also suddenly became confident, and after the two whispered to the eldest prince and the eighth prince, the two also nodded their heads.
Needless to say, these two old guys must have seen that the old one didn't come, so they planned to try to bully and bully the little one.
In any case, it would be beneficial for Lin Fan for two more people on the other side to participate in the bet.
Therefore, Lin Fan also seized the opportunity and directly put the Thunder Ni Sword Blank, as well as two large pieces of Saint Crystal and three million Emperor Crystals on the ground, and then said: "The Thunder Ni Sword Blank is priced at 10 million, and the others are priced at 5 million, a total of 15 million!" Whoever dares to bet will bet directly! ”
The other three didn't talk nonsense, and they each put the prepared imperial crystal on the ground.
Suddenly, the golden light covered the entire stone workshop, and even outside the surrounding streets, you could feel the rich aura in the stone workshop.
Everyone looked sideways into the stone workshop.
"What's going on? Why is there such light in this stone workshop? ”
"Look at this posture, at least it is the light shining from the imperial crystal worth tens of millions!"
"Needless to say, there must be someone in this stone workshop who is making a big gamble!"
"So what are we waiting for? Check it out! ”
……
As he spoke, a group of monks rushed into the stone workshop.
However, the area of the last layer of the courtyard was limited after all, and Lin Fan and his party, plus the subordinates brought by the other three princes, as well as some onlookers who had followed them in at the beginning, were already a little crowded, if they were allowed to rush in again, there would be no need to gamble on the stones at all, even if they squeezed, they could squeeze those stones.
As a result, Shifang closed the gate directly and refused all the onlookers who came to watch.
Of course, Shifang also knows that it is better to block than to sparse, and while closing the gate, Shifang also used refractive crystals to directly refract the scene in the last courtyard of the courtyard.
In this way, those who like to watch the excitement also get psychological satisfaction, and everyone is happy.
And when they saw the people gambling on the stones in the courtyard on the last floor, those onlookers were also embarrassed.
"No wonder you can use tens of millions of emperor crystals to gamble, it turns out to be three princes!"
"It seems that the Human Emperor Conference is about to begin, and the three princes want to compete in this stone workshop."
"Yes, Master Qingxia under the command of the Great Prince, Master Xingde under the command of the Eighth Prince, these are all well-known figures in the gambling stone world!"
"Huh? That kid is Nangong Qi, Nangong Zheng's disciple! I didn't expect him to have already learned to go out of the mountain! ”
As soon as Nangong Zheng's three words came out, it immediately attracted a burst of exclamations from the people around him, after all, thousands of years ago, this senior had cut out the existence of the fragment of the imperial weapon, and it is said that he had also comprehended a supreme method in this fragment of the imperial weapon, so as to greatly increase his cultivation.
At that time, Nangong Zheng was the undisputed king of the gambling stone world, and the disciples he cultivated naturally attracted everyone's attention.
However, they soon noticed that something was wrong, because looking at the position of the three of them, it seemed that the three of them were together, and opposite the three of them, there stood an ordinary-looking young man in black.
"Who is this kid?" Some people asked questions, but no one could answer them at all, after all, the monks who witnessed the whole process were all watching intently, and it was impossible for anyone to solve their doubts.
However, even so, these people still saw the purple shining Thunder Sword Blank in front of Lin Fan!
The moment they saw this thunderous sword blank, everyone was shocked.
The killing intent that rushed to the sky just now, and the purple thunder waterfall that fell from the sky, they were all with their own eyes.
At that time, they were just a little surprised, thinking that there was another divine material cut out of the stone workshop, but they didn't care.
After all, this divine material has nothing to do with them, and even if it is sold, they can't afford it, so they should do whatever they want.
However, after seeing this thunderous sword blank with their own eyes, they also understood that the divine material just now was cut out by this black-clothed young man.
And he seems to have already placed a bet, and he wants to bet against these three princes!
Such a big gamble naturally made those onlookers involuntarily excited.
"Good guy, I didn't expect that this holy weapon sword blank was actually cut out by this young man, and he seems to be betting against the three princes, I am really lucky to be able to witness such a grand event today!"
"But who is this boy? How come I've never seen one? Could it be that the loose cultivation that came out of the horns? ”
"I think it's the first time I came to the Imperial City, and then I was lucky enough to cut out this Thunder Sword Blank, and then my self-confidence exploded, and I plan to continue to bet against it!"
"If that's the case, it's going to be a tragedy of bankruptcy!"
Because Ji Ning basically didn't show up in the imperial city, these onlookers automatically ignored this princess, and of course, they were not optimistic about Lin Fan.
In their opinion, it was very likely that Lin Fan was just lucky to cut that treasure, and in the face of a real gambling stone master, luck alone was indeed not good at all.
Under the watchful eyes of countless strong people, the four of them also began to look for each other in the last layer of the stone garden.
The rules are still the rules just now, each chooses a piece of stone, looks at the value, the winner takes all, and the loser eats the dust.
So in general, it is not that Lin Fan is one enemy and three, but that the four of them are fighting separately.
At the same time, the time for selecting stones and a stick of incense was also set, in order to avoid someone dragging the time.
Lin Fan didn't care, he walked in the stone garden on foot, and continued to select stones.
Master Qingxia under the command of the Great Prince and Master Xingde under the command of the Eighth Prince are also looking for them in the Stone Garden.
Nangong Qi, who was dressed in white, did not look for it directly, but stood at the location of the thunderous stone just now, and stopped for a long time.
After a while, he came to the location of the earthy yellow stone again and stopped, and finally he looked at Lin Fan and said, "Daoist friends can actually discover the dragon veins hidden in this stone garden, it is really a skill!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Fan, who was originally concentrating on finding stones, was also stunned, he turned his head to look at Nangong Qi, and there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
And after saying this, Nangong Qi did smile strangely at Lin Fan, and then began to choose stones.
The Eighth Prince's face was a little abnormal, and he wanted to ask Nangong Qi what the mystery was, but when he saw that he was immediately immersed in those stones, he didn't bother.
Nangong Qi's selection speed was very fast, and after a while, he selected a stone the size of a grinding plate, while the other three were still selecting.
Seeing this scene, a smug smile appeared on the face of the fourth prince.
Since ancient times, most of the stone selection has been carefully selected, and there are only two kinds of people who can determine the stone so quickly.
One is Xiaobai, who doesn't understand anything and is purely lucky.
On the other hand, they are so confident that they can determine whether there is anything precious in the stone without much deliberation.
Obviously, Nangong Qi belongs to the latter.
After putting the stone down, Nangong Qi immediately arched his hand at the four princes and said, "Your Highness, I have already picked it!" ”
The fourth prince nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "It's hard work, if there is anything in the future, send someone directly to my house to inform you, and I, Ji Lei, will do my best to help!" ”
"Thank you so much!" Nangong Qi did not refuse, but accepted it calmly, of course, he also knew that the opportunity for him to use the fourth prince was definitely very rare, after all, a person like him would only make good fates, and rarely make enemies.
And at this time, the Eighth Prince also came over, he arched his hand at Nangong Qi and said: "Back then, Nangong seniors killed all sides in this stone workshop, and there was no one in the entire imperial city. ”
In the face of the Eighth Prince's overture, Nangong Qi did not show any intention of resisting, after all, now that the situation is undecided, whether it is the eldest prince or the fourth prince, or the eighth prince, it is possible to become the new human emperor.
The competition for the throne has been a success, a prince, a loser, a thief since ancient times, if you only get married to the four princes, if the eight princes ascend to the throne of the emperor, and the four princes lose power, he will have to work hard to tie up the eight princes.
Therefore, Nangong Qi also said very politely: "Your Royal Highness has praised me, I am far worse than Master!" ”
After some politeness, the eighth prince naturally also said the question in his heart, only to see him raise his eyebrows, and said: "By the way, just now Nangong Qi said that there is a leyline in the stone workshop, I don't know what it means?" Aren't these leylines generally found in mountains and rivers? ”
The matter of finding the pulse is the study of Qimen, and the eighth prince naturally does not understand it, but he has seen some trivial things from ancient books in general, and he can be regarded as a little bit of knowledge about it.
Therefore, after Nangong Qi looked at the two stones just now, there was a leyline under the stone workshop, his face changed slightly.
After all, it was a stone bought by 800,000 Emperor Crystals, and even if he lost, he would lose and understand.
Nangong Qi smiled slightly when he heard this, and he said, "Your Highness, I guess it must be the stone you bought just now!" ”
Saying that, Nangong Qi pointed to the location where Cang Lei was.
The Eighth Prince nodded.
Nangong Qi then said: "On the stone, there is thunder light, and there is the sound of thunder when it is struck, if it is a thunderstorm, this stone will also attract thunderstorms, bathe in thunder and shine." ”
"Yes, yes, that's it!" The Eighth Prince nodded repeatedly.
Nangong Qi smiled confidently when he heard this, he shook his head and continued: "When cutting stones, the most superficial thunder light is very vigorous, and as the most surface thunder light is gradually cut open, there is less and less thunder light inside, isn't it?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was a little surprised.
The fourth prince said bluntly: "Young Master Qi, you obviously didn't see it, how can you talk about those details, as if you really saw it?" ”
Nangong Qi laughed twice when he heard this, and then pointed to the location where Canglei was and said, "In the eyes of our people, this stone is called the Golden Cicada Husking Stone. ”
"This stone is just a tool for the main stone, and the main stone is in order to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, but he doesn't want to be discovered by those who cut the stone, so he looks for this golden cicada shelling stone."
"The main stone will extend a leyline on the ground, extend to this stone, and manipulate this stone to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and then absorb it through the leyline to your body."
"I saw that there was a lot of thunder power around this stone, and in addition, there was an extremely secret leyline under it, so I guessed the crux of it."
"And the main stone of this stone as a tool should be the stone where it was before!"
As he spoke, Nangong Qi pointed to the location of the stone that Lin Fan had purchased for 100,000 Emperor Crystals just now.
Hiss!
Everyone gasped, Nangong Qi was not present just now, but what he said was exactly the same as what happened just now.
At this time, someone sighed: "He is worthy of being a disciple of Nangong Zheng, he really deserves it!" It seems that in the future, there will be a new king in the Imperial City Stone Workshop! ”
After this explanation, the Eighth Prince also understood, and he unconsciously looked at Lin Fan, with a little more resentment in his eyes.
"It's a golden cicada shelling stone, but I don't know if you can come to a golden cicada shell."
And Lin Fan naturally felt the coldness coming from behind him, he glanced back at the Eighth Prince, then smiled contemptuously, and continued to search in the stone garden.
He also heard Nangong Qi's words just now, but he didn't feel surprised, if he couldn't even see this, he wouldn't make Lin Fan alert at all.
At the same time, what this guy said is not entirely right.
It is true that this stone is indeed a golden cicada shelling stone, but there is another thing he really failed to see, that is, the earthy yellow stone full of cracks before, not only one golden cicada shelling stone, but at least nine.
However, the rest of the Golden Cicada Shelling Stones were either absorbed by him cleanly, or they were bought like the Eighth Prince.
Therefore, around the earthy yellow stone, Lin Fan found eight other traces of the earth's leylines that had been erased in addition to the remaining leylines.
Obviously, this Nangong Qi did not discover the eight hidden leylines.
If he found out, with his flamboyant character, nine times out of ten, he would have already begun to show off.
Lin Fan continued to select stones, and during this period, Old Man Yi Xuan's gaze stayed on him.
When Lin Fan first started, he felt a little unnatural, but over time he got used to it.
After hesitating repeatedly, Lin Fan came to a stone with a height of about two meters and stood still.
This stone is very special, from a distance, it looks like a person is standing there, and it has an extraordinary momentum in it.
It's daunting.
At this time, Yi Xuan also came to Lin Fan, and he said in a deep voice: "This stone has been here for hundreds of years, he is called the King of People, and the price is 530,000 Emperor Crystals!" ”
In terms of price, it's not too high, but it's definitely not low.
Lin Fan nodded slightly, and directly took out a space bag and handed it over: "The rest will be used later!" ”
Obviously, even if this bet was won, Lin Fan still wanted to continue gambling, Yi Xuan didn't say anything, and after putting the space bag away, he stepped aside again to settle down.
And Lin Fan brought the humanoid stone statue to the center of the stone garden.
At this time, Master Qingxia and Master Xingde also selected their own stones.
The former chose a conical stone, more than a foot high and about a foot in diameter.
According to Master Qingxia, this stone is secretly counted in heaven and earth, and there are definitely treasures to hide.
This stone is sold for 600,000 imperial crystals.
Master Xingde chose a stone the size of a human head, this stone is extremely strange, and from a distance, it looks like a huge grimace stone, which looks quite terrifying.
According to Master Xingde, this stone is called the Ghost Immortal Stone, and there must be ancient treasures in it, and there may even be living things!
The price of this stone is 720,000 imperial crystals.
Compared with the stones selected by Lin Fan and the others, the stones of Nangong Qi are the most ordinary, just a stone the size of a grinding plate, which doesn't seem to be anything special.
Its value was also ordinary, only 400,000 spirit stones, which was lower than the value selected by Lin Fan.
And this bet can also be described as a big gamble, Lin Fan took out something worth fifteen million imperial crystals, and the other three princes also took out fifteen million imperial crystals each.
Calculated together, the total value is 60 million imperial crystals.
Those who win will naturally be able to make a lot of money, while those who lose will have nothing.
Tens of millions of Emperor Crystals, even for those great princes, are enough to make them feel painful.
However, the situation has reached such a point that there is no room for retreat.
At this time, Master Shi Shi stepped forward and looked at everyone: "Everyone, I don't know if I came to cut the stone or ......."
Master Qingxia waved his hand and said, "No, the stone I selected, or I am the most assured to cut the stone!" ”
Master Xingde also said that he would cut the stone himself.
Nangong Qi also smiled lightly and said: "I have a sense of accomplishment when I cut out the treasure by myself!" ”
Seeing that the three of them were planning to cut the stone by themselves, Lin Fan naturally shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since that's the case, then let's cut it separately!" ”
With that, the four of them took out a jade knife at the same time and began to cut the stone.
The four of them cut the stone at the same time, and for a while, the stone chips flew all over the sky.
Before he could cut a few knives, suddenly, the cone-shaped stone in Master Qingxia's hand suddenly burst out with a white light, and at the same time, a powerful aura burst out from the stone!
"It's a holy crystal, and it contains a treasure inside!" When even someone shouted out, and the eldest prince saw this scene, he was smiling.
This Qingxia master is the gambling stone master he hired with a lot of money.
Although the eldest prince himself doesn't like gambling stones, he knows that disliking it doesn't mean that he doesn't need to dabble in it, so he spent a lot of money to invite this Qingxia master to be a guest.
And looking at the way it is now, the volume of this holy crystal should be the size of a human head, even if there is no treasure in it, at least he has no loss in this stone.
And with Master Qingxia's swift drop, soon, the entire stone was cut open.
The white light was pervasive, mixed with a wisp of blood light, and from this blood light, everyone also felt a breathtaking majesty.
At this time, Master Qingxia also put away the jade knife, and the seal in his hand pressed down on the holy crystal in front of him.
"Seal!"
An edict fell, and the shining light of the Holy Crystal suddenly converged.
At this time, everyone also saw the situation inside the Holy Crystal clearly.
I saw that in the white holy crystal, there were several bones the size of fingers, as well as a few drops of essence blood containing terrifying energy.
"It feels like ...... The blood and bones left behind by the saints! "Someone told me where it came from.
The eldest prince also nodded slightly after hearing this, as the prince of the human race, he had seen a great battle between the saints.
The aura that those saints exuded when they fought would never be forgotten in his life.
And the aura emanating from the blood and bones in this holy crystal was more powerful than any saint he had ever seen before.
Obviously, the Sage who left these blood and bones behind was definitely not an ordinary Sage, it could be a Saint King, or even a Great Sage!
It's just that, looking at the broken bones, he must have experienced a very tragic battle in his lifetime, otherwise, this blood and bones would not have been shattered like this.
But in any case, its value has far exceeded the Saint Crystals that wrapped it.
However, if it was compared to the Thunder Ni Sword Blank that Lin Fan had cut out just now, it would still be a line worse.
After all, although the blood and bones of this saint are precious, their main purpose is only to add them to the forging of the holy weapon, so as to enhance the spirituality of the holy weapon.
And the Thunder Ni Sword Blank just now is full of aura in itself, and the form of the innate sword does not need to be added with other materials at all, so it can become the top holy weapon.
Therefore, the eldest prince didn't think that he could win with this holy crystal, but he still said very politely to Master Qingxia: "It's hard work, please rest for a while!" ”
Master Qingxia naturally knew that this item was not extremely precious and might not be able to win the championship, so he was also a little disappointed in his eyes.
But if it is calculated, the items cut out of this stone are already among the top five items cut out of his life.
In other words, it's almost his limit!
And at the moment when Master Qingxia retreated to rest, on the side, Master Xingde's stone also moved.
I saw that the moment the jade knife in his hand fell, a black evil aura burst out from the stone.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers approached a second ago and hurriedly stayed away.
Master Xingde also felt bad, he wanted to retreat, but this evil aura had indeed surrounded him in an instant.
Even if the powerful evil qi began to erode the body of Master Xingde, although he was also a powerhouse in the True Yuan Realm, he was obsessed with studying the gambling stones, and he did not have any combat power, and he really had no reaction in the face of the erosion of this evil qi.
"Ahh
A terrible scream sounded, and the eighth prince wanted to make a move, but at the last moment he still hesitated.
Because this evil qi is really terrifying, even the earth has become pitch black wherever it passes, and this evil qi seems to be alive, emitting wisps of doppelgangers and spreading around, as if to warn.
However, just as this so-called Xingde Master was about to be completely eroded by the evil qi, a streamer of light flew by.
It was the old man named Yi Xuan.
As if he felt the powerful aura emitted by Yi Xuan, the evil aura immediately began to converge towards the stone like a mouse seeing a cat, but it was too late.
I saw Yi Xuan take out a jade bottle and point at the evil qi, and then, a powerful attraction emanated from the jade bottle.
The evil qi was dragged down, and then, the jade bottle in Yi Xuan's hand shook, and this sky-high evil qi was all received into the jade bottle.
The evil qi disappeared, and Master Xingde, who was wrapped in the evil qi just now, also revealed his figure, and at this time he was covered in cold sweat all over his body.
If Yi Xuan had made a second late just now, he was afraid that he would have been swallowed by those evil qi.
When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly wanted to thank Yi Xuan for saving his life, but Yi Xuan's figure had indeed disappeared.
He didn't go back to his previous position and sit down peacefully, but just disappeared and didn't want to see him, and he didn't know where he went.
At this time, everyone was shocked.
"What was that thing just now, so terrifying?"
However, no one could answer his question, and no one present had ever encountered that terrifying aura.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Look, that ghost fairy stone!" ”
Everyone looked at it, and saw that the ghost immortal stone had been completely cracked, as if it would be completely shattered if it was touched again.
Although Master Xingde was shocked, he wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of stone he had picked out, so he came to the stone and wanted to swing his knife again to completely cut the stone.
However, before the jade knife in his hand fell, the ghost immortal stone, which was already riddled with holes, suddenly cracked.
Then, a black skull rolled out of the shattered stone skin.
"What is this?"
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the skull, only to see that this skull had eight eyes, a pair of antennae on its forehead, black fangs, and huge ears, which did not look like a human skull at all.
At this time, one of them suddenly said: "I have seen this creature in ancient books, this is the head of an extraterritorial heavenly demon!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Master Xingde in unison.
After choosing this stone, he swore that there must be a secret treasure in it, and there may even be living creatures.
Now it has come true, but this creature is not alive, but dead, and it is the kind of creature that has run out of essence and only has endless resentment left.
If it weren't for Old Man Yi Xuan's action just now, this Xingde Master would have died, and the others would probably have fled long ago.
There is no doubt that this skull has no value, because the essence in it has been exhausted, and it will not take long for it to decay, so even if it is used for collection.
Thinking of this, Master Xingde let out a long sigh, he came to the Eighth Prince, and took the initiative to plead guiltily: "I'm sorry Eighth Prince, it's my skills that are not as good as others!" ”
The eighth prince did not show any displeasure, after all, in front of so many people, if he reprimanded without an image, then his reputation as a virtuous king would be ruined.
So, he patted Master Xingde on the shoulder very indifferently and said, "There is no certainty in this way of gambling stones. ”
"What's more, there is nothing wrong with the stones and inferences selected by the master, there are indeed secret treasures and creatures among them."
"It's just that it's too old, and the creatures in it are dead, and the secret treasure has been tainted and rotted by the evil aura of this creature."
"So, it's not the master's fault!"
The words of the eighth prince immediately made the people present nod their heads again and again.
Indeed, based on the size of the stone and the skull, it can be inferred that there must be something other than the skull.
Moreover, this skull should have been alive when it was sealed into the stone, otherwise it would not have given birth to such a strong evil aura.
The truth of the matter should really be as the Eighth Prince said, this stone should be wrapped in the Holy Crystal, and the head should be in the Holy Crystal.
It's a pity that the age is too rescued, and the head exhausts the power of the holy crystal, and finally dies inside, and generates the evil qi just now.
If the skull could be cut open before the power of the Sacred Crystal was exhausted, its value should be higher than the stone cut by the Great Prince.
After all, this is a complete head, and the strength of this head should definitely be that of a saint, or even a saint king.
If you have enough means, you can even force some cultivation methods and information about the ancient alien race.
This is definitely a priceless treasure for the Terrans!
Of course, everything is if, and the situation today is that this stone is a waste stone.
In this way, the Eighth Prince naturally lost his qualification to compete.
In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Nangong Qi and Lin Fan.
At this time, they noticed that when the evil qi erupted just now, the figures of the two of them did not move at all, and they had been concentrating on cutting those stones without stopping.
Seeing that the two of them were engrossed, an elderly monk stroked his beard and praised: "Not to mention anything else, the two of them alone have surpassed most of the people present!" ”
The people around also nodded, after all, when the evil qi erupted just now, they were all panicked, and some even flew out of the courtyard directly.
Of course, this can't be blamed for their timidity, after all, people have the greatest fear of the unknown, and it is understandable.
Everyone's eyes fell on the two of them.
And in the eyes of Lin Fan and Nangong Qi, in addition to the stones in front of them, there was only each other left.
As far as the knife technique of cutting stones is concerned, Nangong Qi's knife technique is fine and smooth, like a drizzle, slapping on the stone in front of him.
The stone, which was the size of a grinding disc, has now been cut in half, and the stone that has been cut with a knife is round, like a stone ball that has been carved by the most skilled craftsmen.
However, as of now, no one can see what is in this stone ball.
And Lin Fan's sword method is more inclined to open and close, he is holding the hidden dragon heavy sword, the sword light is waved, like the sky is rolling, the momentum is pressing, and at the same time, every swing of the sword can cut down a large piece of stone.
However, he didn't swing his sword very quickly, and every time he swung his greatsword, he had to stop and observe for a long time before swinging it again.
After half an hour's effort, the two-meter-high stone in front of him was only about one meter high.
He didn't cut it all the way from one direction, but cut it from all around the stone.
After some forging, the stone is still in its original shape.
