Chapter 143: A Big Bet
[Please collect flowers, thank you.] 】
"Heaven punishes a sword!"
However, just when all the onlookers were sighing, and the scattered cultivators who shot out were overjoyed, a sudden change occurred!
Many monks only heard a loud shout in their ears, and then they saw that in the rolling soul-devouring black mist, a sword qi broke through the layers of black mist and suddenly appeared in the air. But I saw that above that sword qi, thunder and lightning surrounded, like a heavenly punishment descending, towards the rolling soul-devouring black mist, surging roaring!
The Soul Eater Black Mist is a Yin and Evil Thing, but the power of thunder and lightning is the most rigid and yang, at this moment, the sword qi surrounding the thunder and lightning is like a stormy wave, destroying the withering and decaying in the rolling Soul Eater Black Mist, and directly breaking through the Soul Devouring Black Mist!
This soul-devouring black mist directly dissipated and collapsed into the air, and the white bone skull revealed inside it was also directly destroyed by the sword qi, and the figures of Xia Qi and the scattered cultivator in the field were suddenly exposed.
At this moment, the scattered cultivators in the field were full of horror, holding the Soul Devouring Skull Banner in their hands, and retreated again and again. The rich pitch-black color of the Soul Eater Skull Banner in his hand seemed to have dissipated a lot at this moment, and the skull revealed on it seemed to be much smaller.
"Mighty Demon Ape Paw!"
Sanxiu retreated violently, but Xia Qi did not chase away, with a wave of his big hand, he saw the wind howling in the air, and a huge demon ape's palm, condensed and formed, and slapped directly towards Sanxiu!
The Mighty Demon Ape Palm roared down, extremely fast, and the air exploded, exploding again and again, and the momentum was terrifying! That Sanxiu was still holding a glimmer of hope, but at this moment, when he saw the Mighty Demon Ape Palm roaring down in the air, he was immediately frightened and scattered!
"Stop! I admit defeat! I admit defeat!"
The powerful demon ape palm on the top of his head roared down, and in a panic, he no longer dared to hold on to the hope of defeating Xia Qi, and suddenly shouted loudly in his mouth, wanting Xia Qi to stop.
As Sanxiu's words of admitting defeat sounded, the powerful demon ape's palm above his head also dissipated instantly, and the terrifying momentum also disappeared in an instant, making Sanxiu's face full of the expression of the rest of his life.
"Thank you for your mercy. ”
Sanxiu saw that Xia Qi was casually in his hand, and the powerful demon ape's palm was put away from his heart, obviously able to control it skillfully, and his face was even more happy, and at the same time he saluted Xia Qi sincerely.
"This fellow Taoist is polite. ”
Xia Qi smiled slightly, the compelling momentum just now had been completely subdued. This loose cultivator does not have any hatred with him, since the opponent admits defeat, he naturally will not make a dead hand.
A battle was originally evenly matched, and many monks thought that it would be a bitter battle, but they did not expect that this battle would end so cleanly.
"This Xia Qi is so strong, the cultivation of the eighth layer in the foundation building period, in the face of a monk of the same level, he won easily, it is really extraordinary!"
"Even if it's a little stronger, at most it can match the ninth layer of the foundation building period, and if you want to win a place, I don't think it's hopeful. ”
"Hmph, it's just that the sword technique is special, just enough to restrain the soul devouring skeleton banner, it's not a big deal at all!"
............
Many monks are discussing, but Xia Qi's cultivation is too weak after all, and he is on the eighth floor of the foundation building period, and he wants to compete for a place to enter the Lei Ze Pool, but they all think that there is no hope.
For these discussions, Xia Qi didn't seem to be affected at all, his face was flat, as usual. However, in Xia Qi's heart, there was a trace of excitement.
Because after today, there should be only more than 100 monks left, basically all of whom are strong and have some famous monks in Qinzhou and Youzhou, so someone has started to open a gambling house, which can allow monks to bet.
Now that all the monks' jade numbers have been exposed, and the opponents have been known in advance, the people who opened the gambling house have made all the monks' opponents out and set the odds according to their strength.
These gambling houses are all big forces, and they don't have to worry about defaulting on their debts at all, so the entire Razor City has become lively and has begun to place bets.
In the evening, Xia Qi accompanied Gu Yue and the others to the gambling house where they bet.
The monks who can bet in the gambling house are all of the same strength, and many of them can obviously see that there is a gap, but they have not opened them at all, so after looking around, Xia Qi found that there was no handicap between Gu Yue and her opponent.
After all, Gu Yue's strength is already at the peak of the foundation building period, but her opponent is only the eighth layer of the foundation building period, and the difference in strength is too great, so there is no handicap at all.
However, Xia Qi took a look at his own, the day after tomorrow against an opponent in the ninth layer of the foundation building period, the odds are one to two, if Xia Qi can win, he can directly double the bet!
Where the bet is placed, many monks are betting, this thousand, this tens of thousands, and even some monks more than 100,000 spirit stones bet, it is really lively, making people's blood boil.
"I'll start two million next summer!"
In the noisy gambling house, because a faint voice sounded, it suddenly quieted down, and his eyes looked at Xia Qi, who was standing with Gu Yue at this moment.
"Two ...... Two million? Are you sure of this fellow Daoist?"
The monk in the gambling house, when he heard Xia Qi's words, his voice trembled a little, he didn't know whether it was surprise or fear, and he didn't even dare to take the storage bag handed over by Xia Qi.
"Well, two million, I bet that Xia Qi will win. ”
With a calm gaze, Xia Qi stretched out his hand and handed the two million spirit stones in the storage bag to the monk in the gambling house.
That monk accepted the bet in this gambling house, and in a short period of time, he also handed over millions of spirit stones, but when he heard Xia Qi's words at this moment, he was still a little stunned.
"What, don't you gambling houses dare to take it?" Xia Qi frowned slightly, and spoke again.
"Hehe, this Taoist friend laughed, since our gambling house can afford to open, someone bets, naturally dare to take it. At this time, a middle-aged monk came out of the gambling house, and judging by his cultivation, I am afraid that he is a monk in the Jindan period, which makes the gambling house even quieter.
Two million spirit stones, this middle-aged monk took it, looked at Xia Qi, and a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes.
"Daoyou Xia Qi, you have so much confidence in yourself, you must know that your opponent is a cultivator who is one level higher than you in the ninth layer of the foundation building stage. The middle-aged monk looked at Xia Qi and asked.
Xia Qi's battle with Sanxiu in the morning, this Jindan period monk happened to have seen it, so he had some impressions of Xia Qi, and he recognized Xia Qi at this moment, so he had some doubts in his heart.
As soon as the middle-aged monk spoke, many monks in the gambling house immediately recognized Xia Qi, knowing that Xia Qi had placed two million spirit stones on his body, and many monks originally planned to bet on him, but they didn't dare to continue to follow at the moment.
"This person is too conceited, thinking that if he was lucky enough to defeat a monk of the same level in the morning, he would really be invincible in the world, and I think these two million spirit stones were given to the gambling house for nothing. ”
Many monks immediately dispelled their thoughts, and they all looked at Xia Qi with a hint of disdain, thinking that Xia Qi was too conceited.
"I'm also going to have a million spirit stones. ”
However, in the midst of these monks' stunned, Gu Yue, who was next to Xia Qi, suddenly spoke. A storage bag appeared in her white jade hand and handed it to the middle-aged man opposite.
The middle-aged man took the storage bag a little sluggishly, just like the rest of the monks in the gambling house, they all looked at Xia Qi and Gu Yue in amazement, and left the gambling house.
After a long time, there was a heated discussion in the gambling house.
............
After Xia Qi and Gu Yue left the gambling house, they immediately went back to the inn.
However, before they saw the inn, Xia Qi and the others met two monks on a wide street, blocking Xia Qi and the others in the street, unable to pass.
The two monks blocking in front, one of them had an arrogant face, dressed in a red robe, and his body exuded a scorching aura, looking at Xia Qi with murderous intent. There is another person, but he is an acquaintance. It was Zhou Zhuo who was cut off by Xia Qi!
Zhou Zhuo looked at Xia Qi with resentful eyes, hating to peel Xia Qi and cramp his soul and refine his soul. His right arm, the inside of his sleeve, was empty, swaying in the wind, and it was obvious that his right arm was not attached.
"Xia Qi, today I will take your dog's life!"
In Zhou Zhuo's mouth, a resentful voice sounded, stopping in front of the two, with a heavy hammer on his left arm, as black as ink, as if he was going to attack Xia Qi at any time and take his life.
Speaking of which, Zhou Zhuo is also unlucky. Because the Ten Thousand Crane Sect is in Youzhou, it is not a big sect, so this time there is no Yuan Infant Stage monk to follow, plus there is no good pill, so there is no way to connect his right arm at all!
And because of the previous incident, Zhou Zhuo was at a loss, and the Jindan period powerhouse of the Ten Thousand Crane Sect, after knowing it, although he was angry, he also strictly asked Zhou Zhuo not to go to the trouble of the Dan Sect again, otherwise it would be easy to cause a confrontation between the Qinzhou and Youzhou Gate Sects, and at that time, a small sect like the Ten Thousand Crane Sect would be the easiest to fall victim to.
Zhou Zhuo, who was already narrow-minded, saw that his uncle did not agree to find Danzong to avenge himself, so he moved his mind and found the body of Zhou Jing, the first day of the younger generation of Wanhe Sect.
This Zhou Jing is the most talented disciple of the Ten Thousand Crane Sect for thousands of years, and he is almost thirty years old now, but his cultivation is already at the peak of the tenth layer of the foundation building period!
With such a talent, Zhou Jing is naturally arrogant and conceited, and when he heard Zhou Zhuo's words, he was immediately furious, and took Zhou Zhuo to take advantage of the opportunity of Xia Qi and the two to go out to intercept here.
Looking at the two people blocking the way on the opposite side, Xia Qi and Gu Yue both frowned slightly.
"You are Xia Qi, is it that you dare to provoke my Wanhe Sect and cut off one of Zhou Zhuo's junior brothers' arms?"
Xia Qi and the others did not speak, they stopped in front, and Zhou Jing, who had an arrogant face, spoke. He is tall, and his arrogant opening at this moment makes people look like Zhou Jing looking down at Xia Qi and the others and opening his mouth to interrogate.
Seeing this scene around, there were already many monks gathered to watch this scene on the street from a distance, but it was only a moment, and the water was already impassable.
