Chapter VIII The Battle of Life and Death
Outside the imperial capital, there were many people gathered in front of the decisive battle stage. In addition to some idle people who often watch the fun, there were also many princes of the imperial capital.
Today is the day when Long Chen and Li Hao have a life-and-death battle. Although there are constant duels here on weekdays, there are not many life-and-death battles.
What's more, it was a life-and-death showdown between the two princes. Although their cultivation was not earth-shaking, they still attracted countless people to watch.
And the most famous gambling house in the entire imperial capital, Youlan Gambling House, has opened a handicap for all gamblers to choose from:
Li Haosheng, one to pay two, Long Chen, one to pay ten, because of the decisive battle of life and death, there will be no possibility of fraud, especially the two princes, who have noble identities, and using money to bet on the life and death of the two princes is a very exciting thing.
For a time, even those who were not gamblers began to bet one after another, but they basically bought Li Haosheng.
Although Long Chen defeated Li Hao last time, Li Hao was completely unprepared at that time and was exploited by Long Chen, and the miracle would not happen twice in a row.
However, there are also a small number of people who like to play exciting things and take risks. If you want to make a big fortune, you can buy Long Chen to win, but there are very few people in this group.
The place where the betting is not far from the ring, and everyone who wins Li Hao is crowded, but the place where Long Chen wins is really deserted.
"Squeeze 300,000 gold coins and buy Long Chen to win"
Suddenly, a tall man appeared in front of the person in charge of registration and threw a crystal card over.
"What?"
The man was shocked. It was almost half a morning and he had only received more than 10,000 gold coins here, and almost thought he had heard it wrong.
The tall man was nothing but Shi Feng. He was entrusted by Long Chen to press all the gold coins on himself.
Long Chen expected that the life-and-death battle between him and Li Hao would definitely open due to his identity and the strength of Youlan Gambling.
This kind of life-and-death battle is a battle between Youlan Gambling House, even if you know that you have lost money, you still need to do it, otherwise you will lose a lot of popularity.
The most profitable thing about them is their own internal gambling, and they must also participate in such external gambling, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction among gamblers.
However, the Youlan Gambling House is rich and powerful, and even if it loses money and makes a lot of money, it can still be played, so Long Chen focused on this point.
The original bet was changed to the current periphery, one to one, and the other to ten. As long as Long Chen was not stupid, he knew how to do it.
Yesterday, with the help of Fatty and others, he raised more than 200,000 gold coins and handed over the gold coins to Shi Feng. Seeing that Long Chen was so sure, Shi Feng gritted his teeth and gathered the gold coins to 300,000.
The Shifeng family is not rich because the Shi family is straight-hearted, has a bad temper, and is not good at managing. In fact, it is not as rich as Yu Fatty and others.
In order to raise money, he mortgaged his weapons and armor. He raised enough money just to go crazy with Long Chen.
After receiving the receipt issued by the man, Shi Feng's heart couldn't help but hop a few times in a bad mood. Brother, you have to calm down. My brother's belongings have been taken out.
When it was almost noon, Li Hao had arrived. He saw a little bit of land and jumped onto the ring about a meter high, which suddenly caused a burst of cheers.
However, those voices were not made for his figure, but because the final battle was about to begin, and the good show was finally about to begin.
Today, Li Hao was wearing a strong outfit, and his whole body was clean and neat, very attractive. A hint of arrogance appeared on his face: Long Chen, I will give you ten times the humiliation you gave me.
However, after Li Hao came on stage, he waited for a long time and did not see Long Chen appear. People couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that he didn't dare to come?
While everyone was wondering, the old man guarding the ring said coldly: "The duel you agreed upon is 3:00 noon. You are half an hour early. You can choose to wait on the stage or come down to wait."
Everyone was booing when they heard this. Li Hao, who was already full of energy on the ring, was stunned: Damn, why did you forget to look at the time?
"It's okay, I'll wait for him on the stage. Anyway, he's a dying person, and his time is much more precious than me."
Li Hao smiled faintly and sat cross-legged on the ring, showing a master's style, but after maintaining his master's style for a while, something was wrong.
Because it was noon, the sun was very fierce, and the arena was paved with black rock slabs, which were hot on top, so you could basically fry eggs.
But Li Hao had already sat down and could not stand up anymore. In order to maintain his master's demeanor, he was always suffering.
Some people with sharp eyes had already noticed that under Li Hao's butt had started to smoke slightly, and everyone's faces were extremely strange for a moment.
"This person is really idiotic. He has to suffer from face. After a while, before the war begins, his butt is getting familiar."
A giggle came from a woman's mouth. In the distance, two masked women looked at the ring lightly.
"To put it bluntly, it's hypocrisy." Another woman shook her head.
"Sister Mengqi, we have been here for several days. When will you break off the engagement with him?" the woman asked.
The woman, known as Meng Qi, frowned slightly and said in embarrassment: "Now he is in trouble. If I rashly propose a break-up at this time, it will be too cruel for him, and I don't know what to do."
"But, it's not a solution to drag this matter so much. Master has urged us several times. If we don't go back to the mountain, we may be punished.
Besides, with your qualifications, you can step into the innate world and touch the way of heaven in the future. You are destined to be people from two worlds, and there is no result at all." The woman sighed.
"But, I always feel sorry for him to do this. Oh... let's take a look again." Meng Qi shook her jade head gently, and a trace of distress flowed through her beautiful eyes.
Seeing that Meng Qi was still a little hesitant, the woman was about to speak when she suddenly saw a commotion in the distance, and couldn't help but look there.
I saw a man in black robe walking slowly in the crowd, with his sword-browed eyebrows and eyes flying in spirit, and a unique aura on his body, giving people a very deep feeling.
He was like a well, which seemed nothing on the surface, but no one could see through him, and no one could see through his depth, as if he was like a mystery himself.
Even when the woman and Meng Qi saw Long Chen appearing in this image, they couldn't help but feel a swaying heart. I have to say that Long Chen is a world of difference from when he saw him a few days ago. Now he is full of confidence.
Seeing Long Chen arrive, Li Hao jumped up from the ground with a "scarlet" and felt a sharp pain in his butt, and a burst of resentment in his heart.
"Long Chen, come up and die." Li Hao shouted angrily.
Long Chen didn't even look at Li Hao, but looked at the crowd. Seeing Shi Feng nodding to him, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Not only did he see Shi Feng, he also saw Yu Pangzi and others. It was obvious that they came to cheer for him.
Long Chen smiled at them slightly, turned around and walked towards the ring. Li Hao jumped up, while Long Chen walked up the stairs.
For a moment, those who defeated Long Chensheng suddenly felt a little cold in their hearts, and felt that the little money they invested would probably have to go but not return.
"Long Chen"
Seeing that Long Chen finally came up, Li Hao couldn't help but grit his teeth and spit out two words.
"Idiot, your butt is muddy." Long Chen looked at Li Hao and couldn't help but sneer.
In fact, he had come a long time ago, but he had been hiding in the distance to enjoy the cool air. No one noticed him, but he could see everything here clearly.
"It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the contract of life and death between the two parties is signed"
At this moment, the old man took out a document, Long Chen smiled slightly, leaving his name on it.
This time is different from last time. There is no longer any saying that you admit defeat. The winning party has the right to decide the other party's life and death.
After signing the letter, Li Hao looked at Long Chen with a ferocious look on his face: "Little bastard, today I will give you a hundred times the humiliation you gave me."
Now that the life and death contract has been signed, the arena has become their decisive place, and no one is the referee.
"The sharp blade cuts the body and heals quickly, and he can't help but hurt people. It seems that you don't understand. You provoke me again and again, and this is forcing me."
Long Chen took a deep breath, and a strong murderous intent appeared in his eyes. Since Zhou Yaoyang said last time that he was not Long Tianxiao's seed, some people have begun to call him with this insulting word.
"Go to die, miscellaneous"
Li Hao sneered and shouted, his whole body was circulating with spiritual energy, and a stream of spiritual power could be seen flowing around him with his naked eyes.
Everyone in the audience looked at each other and smiled. Li Hao suffered a great loss last time and did not use his true energy to protect his body. He was successfully attacked by Long Chen in one fell swoop. This time he had already arranged his defense in advance.
Although it is only the Qi Gathering Realm and cannot be released, it is difficult for ordinary people to cause harm to them by circulating spiritual power to protect their bodies.
After Li Hao arranged his defense, he rushed towards Long Chen with a grim smile, his hands grabbed Long Chen's shoulders.
The claws are covered with spiritual energy, which is no different from an iron hook. If an ordinary person is caught, his shoulder bones will be immediately shattered.
"Okay, Li Hao, completely destroy this mess."
A roar came from the audience. The man was none other than Wang Mang, who was slapped by Long Chen in the Taixue Palace and had half of his teeth blown away by Long Chen.
Now that Wang Mang is young, half of his teeth are gone. Now, with his strength, he can't afford to regenerate his bones. Now he has long hated Long Chen to death. Seeing that Long Chen is about to be held, he couldn't help but shout loudly.
He applauded, Shi Feng, Yu Fatty and others changed their faces. Long Chen did not show any cultivation from beginning to end, which made their hearts instantly raise their throats.
Long Chen looked at Li Hao rushing towards him, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and took a step forward, and his whole body was like a shadow, facing Li Hao.
