Chapter 976: The Eve of the Duel
Chapter 976 The Eve of the Duel
"Eight percent, you know, this bet involves hundreds of millions of magic crystals. If you get eight percent, it is already an astronomical figure." The Lord City Lord added a little more to Liu Jun.
"If you don't do it, at least 20%, otherwise it's not worthwhile to risk your life to earn money." Liu Jun refused again.
The Lord of the City narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Jun with a murderous look, "I, the Lord of the City, ask you again, do you agree or disagree?"
Liu Jun sat down on the ground, "There is a saying in human beings: riches and honors cannot be lascivious, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, and power cannot be surrendered. This is called a true man."
Before his brother could say anything, the Night King drew his sword and slashed at Liu Jun's neck.
Liu Jun's pupils shrank and he hid quickly.
"Boom!" A three-meter-long crack appeared where he had just been sitting. The edges of the crack were neat and smooth, showing the sharpness of the sword in the Night King's hand.
Liu Jun, who was sharp-eyed, realized that the Night King was about to chop him, so he quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Wait a minute."
"Say" the Night King said one word expressionlessly.
Liu Jun swallowed his saliva, "In this way, eight percent is eight percent, but I have a condition. I am in the devil world. If my life is in danger, Night King must take action and save me once."
The Night King was silent for a few seconds, then took out a glass ball the size of an eyeball and threw it to Liu Jun. "When you are about to die, crush him. But you must win this game. If you can't win, I will crush you."
"No problem, it's just a mountain boy. He can beat me." Liu Jun, who successfully hugged his thigh, assured him excitedly.
"By the way, didn't you just say that a man cannot surrender even if he is too powerful? Why did you surrender?" The Lord City Lord asked curiously. After all, Liu Jun looked like he would rather die than surrender just now.
Liu Jun laughed dryly, "There is another saying for us humans: a man should be able to bend and stretch."
"Go down and prepare. In a few hours, the duel will begin." The Lord of the City waved his hands speechlessly.
Naturally, Liu Jun will not stay here for long. Although there are two thighs, one of them has a bad temper and can easily kick him to death. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time.
After Liu Jun left, the Lord of Mingye City smiled and said, "This boy is very courageous and dares to bargain. He really works hard for money."
The corner of the Night King's mouth raised, "He's not just doing it for money, his real purpose is to find a life-saving talisman."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Mingye City Lord looked puzzled.
"Because he must have another purpose in coming to the demon world, and this purpose will probably bring him into trouble with some beings he can't afford to offend, so he needs a life-saving charm," the Night King explained.
The Lord of Mingye City was not stupid, and he reacted in an instant, "In other words, he was just acting on us just now?"
The Night King stood up and walked out, "To be precise, I'm playing you."
The city lord's mouth twitched and he covered his chest, this is so weird.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Xiu Xiu hurried forward and asked anxiously.
The Lord of Mingye City waved his hands feebly, "It's okay, it's just a little heart-wrenching."
The efficiency of the demon clan is still very high. Even if the duel is held in advance, everything has been arranged.
In order to allow many people to watch the duel, the duel location was arranged in the central square of the Evernight City. At the same time, a duel platform was set up in the middle of the square, and some high platforms were built around it for viewing.
Demons are generally tall. If the taller demon is in front, the person behind may only be able to see the back of their head.
When the duel was over, they just looked lonely.
After the duel location was announced, the entire central square was filled with demons.
Fortunately, everyone is a quality person. Although it is crowded, it is not chaotic.
Of course, it is also possible that the swords in the hands of the Imperial Guards played a role.
Since this place is so well built, there will naturally be no shortage of VIP seats. We cannot let the Lord of the City and the Night King compete for seats with ordinary demons.
So half an hour before the duel started, the Lord of the City, the Night King, and some representatives of the big families in the city that never sleeps were all seated at the VIP seats, quietly waiting for the duel to start.
As one of the protagonists this time, Yamato, the Yamato Demon Clan, proudly walked towards the duel stage while waving.
He is now full of confidence, and with some blessing from the Yamato Demon Clan, his current strength has more than tripled.
Not to mention the little Liu Jun, now he wants to fight ten!
And the person he was going to beat ten was closing his eyes and concentrating with a contented look on his face.
"Liu Jun, are you sure?" Mr. Han asked worriedly.
Shantong knows Liu Jun's strength and dares to fight Liu Jun, which shows that Shantong must be well prepared and has enough capital to fight Liu Jun.
"I don't know. I haven't seen what trump cards he has. He will definitely not mind killing me directly if I lose. I don't want to die, so I won't lose. Don't worry," Liu Jun reassured.
"Since you are not sure, why do you still agree?" Mr. Han looked puzzled.
"Because our next road will be more difficult. When we find what we are looking for, we will probably encounter more difficult entities. If we can get the Night King's guarantee, it will be cost-effective for us, not to mention,
There is still money to be won from this gamble, so why not do it?"
What Liu Jun thought was that Shantong was at best a tricky stumbling block, and compared to those big guys, he was not good enough.
"Everyone, today's battle is extraordinary. The winner will be the city governor, and the loser will be expelled from the Nightless City. Based on the principle of fairness, justice and openness, in this competition, not only the Night King and the City Lord will be the referees, but also the Night King and the City Lord will be the referees.
"Tengu-sama" from the Yamato Demon Clan was invited to host this event, and he turned out to be the Fat Ball Butler of the Night King's Mansion.
Fat Ball gave way. He had just blocked the Yamato Demon Clan's Otengu, so that no one else could see the Otengu.
After he got out of the way, he saw a handsome man with a red nose and a red face, holding a fan in his hand, wearing a monk's robe, and with wings on his back. He was sitting there with a gloomy face, as if someone owed him something.
He seems to have millions.
"In the city that never sleeps, how do you all introduce people like this?" the big tengu said dissatisfied.
"Well, what else?" The Night King glanced at the Great Tengu lightly.
The Great Tengu narrowed his eyes and said nothing. He did not want to provoke the Night King. The intimidating power of the demon clan's number one master was still very strong.
"Next, let me introduce the two parties in this duel." Fatty Ball paused. "They are Shantong from the Yamato Demon Clan. I believe many people have heard of Lord Shantong. He is one of the core members of the Yamato Demon Clan.
In this irregular battle, he has the bonus of the entire Yamato Demon Clan, so I don’t need to tell you how likely he is to win."
"As for the other duel player, Liu Jun is from the human race. His only record is to defeat the Demon Nineteenth member of the Demon Emperor's personal guard. The chance of winning is a little small, but if you want to use your small fortune to win, you can bet on it.
He wins"
Compared with Fatty Ball's introduction to Shantong just now, this introduction to Liu Jun seemed a bit too plain.
Liu Jun wasn't angry either. These were all for winning money. Before the betting stopped, this kind of introduction made many people think that Shan Tong would win, so they always placed their bets on Shan Tong.
Many underground markets have even started betting on how long Liu Jun can last.
Everyone is optimistic about Shantou. After all, the Great Tengu of the Yamato Demon Clan is here. This fully shows the importance of this duel to the Yamato Demon Clan.
Moreover, this duel has spread throughout the entire Demon Clan because of the bet. If the Yamato Demon Clan's Shantou loses, then the Yamato Demon Clan will be embarrassed this time.
"Sadong Shandong, come on, the hope of the Yamato Demon Clan is in you!"
"Yes, Lord Shantong, the position of City Governor must be yours. A mere human being is definitely not your opponent."
Before Shantong took the stage, he was surrounded by waves of compliments and all kinds of flattery, which made him feel extremely comfortable.
"Okay, everyone, please don't say that. The duel has not started yet, and everything is not yet known, so keep a low profile." Shantong waved his hand and said, but the pride on his face was undisguised, as if he had already won.
But in Shantong's heart, he really thought he had won.
Because the arrival of the Great Tengu brought him the shikigami of the Yamato Demon Clan, and he brought three of them at once.
This kind of shikigami is somewhat similar to the shikigami of the human Japanese kingdom. The shikigami of the Yamato Demon Clan were formed by some powerful elders who sacrificed their souls after their physical bodies died.
