Outside the Imperial City, many people have gathered in front of the decisive battle stage. In addition to some idlers who often watch the excitement, there are also many princes of the Imperial Capital.
Today is the day for the life-and-death battle between Long Chen and Li Hao. 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-shattering, it still attracted countless people to watch.
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 loses two,
Long Chen wins, one loses ten,
Because there is no possibility of fraud in a life-and-death battle, especially the two princes, who have noble status, it is very exciting to bet money on the life and death of the two princes.
For a time, even people who were not gamblers began to place bets one after another, but basically they were all betting on Li Haosheng.
Although Long Chen defeated Li Hao last time, Li Hao was completely unprepared at that time and was taken advantage of by Long Chen. Miracles would not happen twice in a row.
However, there are also a small number of people who like to play exciting games and take risks. If they want to make a small gain to make a big gain, they buy Long Chen Sheng, but these people are very few.
The betting place was not far from the ring. It was crowded with people betting on Li Hao's side to win, but the place betting on Long Chen's victory was really deserted.
"Squeeze 300,000 gold coins and buy Long Chen to win"
Suddenly, a tall man appeared in front of the person responsible for registration and threw a crystal card over.
"What?"
The man was shocked. It was almost half the morning, and he had only received a total of more than 10,000 gold coins. He almost thought he had heard wrong.
The tall man was none other than Shi Feng. He was entrusted by Long Chen to put all the gold coins on himself.
Long Chen expected that in the life-and-death battle between himself and Li Hao, due to his status and the strength of Youlan Gambling House, the market would definitely open.
Even if you know you are losing money, you still need to do this kind of life-and-death battle at Youlan Gambling House, otherwise it will lose a lot of popularity.
Their most profitable place is their own internal gambling, and they must also participate in such peripheral gambling, otherwise they will cause dissatisfaction among gamblers.
However, Youlan Gambling House was very wealthy and could afford to play even if they lost money and made a profit, so Long Chen focused on this.
The original bet has been changed to the current bet, one is one to one, and the other is one to ten. As long as Long Chen is not stupid, he will know how to do it.
Yesterday, with the help of Fatty and others, he raised more than 200,000 gold coins. After handing the gold coins to Shi Feng, Shi Feng saw that Long Chen was so confident, so he gritted his teeth and collected the gold coins to 300,000.
The Shi Feng family is not rich, because the Shi family is straight-tempered, bad-tempered, and not good at business. In fact, it is not as rich as Fatty Yu and others.
In order to raise money, he mortgaged all his weapons and armor. He collected enough money just to go crazy with Long Chen.
After receiving the receipt from the man, Shi Feng's heart couldn't help but beat wildly a few times. Brother, you have to be careful. You have taken out all your belongings.
When it was almost noon, Li Hao had already arrived. With only a little bit of ground in sight, he jumped onto the stage that was about ten feet high, causing a burst of applause.
However, those sounds were not made for his appearance, but because the decisive battle was about to begin, and the fun was finally about to begin.
Today, Li Hao was wearing a smart outfit. His whole body was clean and neat, and he looked very good-looking. A hint of pride appeared on his face: Long Chen, I will pay you back ten times the humiliation you gave me.
However, after Li Hao came to the stage, he waited for a long time and did not see Long Chen appear. People couldn't help but be a little puzzled. 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 on is at three quarters noon. You came half an hour early. You can choose to wait on the stage or come down and wait."
Everyone immediately booed when they heard this. Li Hao, who was originally high-spirited on the stage, couldn't help being a little dumbfounded: Damn, why did you forget to check the time?
"It doesn't matter, I'll just wait for him on the stage. Anyway, he is a dying person, and his time is much more precious than mine."
Li Hao smiled faintly and just sat cross-legged on the ring, looking like a master. However, after maintaining the master's style for a while, something was wrong.
Because it was noon, the sun was very hot, and the arena was paved with black rock slabs, which were so hot that you could basically fry an egg.
But Li Hao had already sat down and could not stand up again. In order to maintain his expert demeanor, he suffered all the time.
Some sharp-eyed people have discovered that Li Hao's buttocks have begun to smoke slightly, and everyone has extremely weird expressions for a while.
"This man is really an idiot. He wants to save face and suffer. In a moment, before the war starts, his butt is going to be cooked."
A sweet laugh came from a woman's mouth, and in the distance, two masked women looked at the ring indifferently.
"To put it bluntly, it's just hypocrisy." Another woman shook her head.
"Sister Mengqi, we have been here for several days. When are you going to break off the engagement with him?" the woman asked.
The woman named Meng Qi frowned slightly and said with some embarrassment: "Now that he is in a difficult situation, if I rashly propose to break off the engagement at this time, it would be too cruel for him, and I don't know.
What should I do?”
"However, delaying this matter is not an option. Master has urged us several times. If we don't return to the mountain, I'm afraid we will be punished.
Besides, with your qualifications, sister, you will be able to step into the innate world and touch the way of heaven in the future. You and he are destined to be in two different worlds, and there will be no results at all." The woman sighed.
"But, I always feel that I feel sorry for him by doing this. Sigh... let's take another look." Meng Qi shook her jade head gently, with a hint of distress in her beautiful eyes.
The woman saw that Meng Qi was still a little hesitant. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw a commotion in the crowd in the distance and couldn't help but look over there.
I saw a man in black robe walking slowly among the crowd, with sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, and a high-spirited look. He had a unique aura about him, giving people a very deep feeling.
He is like a well, it looks like nothing on the surface, but no one can see through it, no one can see through its depth, as if he itself is like a mystery.
Even that woman and Meng Qi couldn't help but feel their hearts swaying when they saw Long Chen appear in such an image. It has to be said that Long Chen now is completely different from what he saw a few days ago. He is full of energy now.
gained confidence.
Seeing Long Chen's arrival, Li Hao jumped up from the ground. He felt a burning pain in his buttocks and felt 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. He glanced at the crowd and felt relieved when he saw Shi Feng nodding to him.
Not only did he see Shi Feng, he also saw Fatty Yu and others. It was obvious that they were here to cheer him up.
Long Chen smiled at them, turned around and walked towards the ring. Li Hao jumped on, while Long Chen walked up the stairs.
For a moment, those who defeated Long Chen felt a chill in their hearts, feeling that the little money they had invested would probably never come back.
"Long Chen"
Seeing Long Chen finally coming up, Li Hao couldn't help but gnashed his teeth and spit out two words.
"Idiot, your butt is burned out," Long Chen looked at Li Hao and couldn't help but sneered.
In fact, he had been here a long time ago, but he had been hiding in the distance to enjoy the cool weather. No one noticed him, but he could see everything here clearly.
"It's three quarters past noon, and the life and death contract between both parties has been signed."
At this moment, the old man took out a piece of paper. Long Chen smiled slightly and left his name on it.
This time is different from last time. There is no longer any talk of admitting defeat. The winning side has the power to decide the life and death of the other side.
After Li Hao finished signing, he looked at Long Chen with a ferocious expression: "Little bastard, today I will pay you back a hundred times the humiliation you gave me."
Now that the life and death contract has been signed, this arena has become the place where they will fight to the death, and no one should be the referee.
"A sharp knife cuts the body and heals quickly, and you can't bear to hurt others with bad words. It seems you don't understand. You provoke me again and again. You are forcing me."
Long Chen took a deep breath, and a strong murderous intent appeared in his eyes. Ever since Zhou Yaoyang said that he was not Long Tianxiao's son, some people started to call him this insulting word.
"Go to hell, bastard"
Li Hao sneered and roared, his spiritual energy was flowing all over his body, and a spiritual energy could be seen flowing around him with the naked eye.
Everyone in the audience looked at each other and smiled. This Li Hao suffered a big loss last time because he failed to activate his true energy body protection and was successfully attacked by Long Chen in one fell swoop. This time he had arranged his defense in advance.
Although they are only in the Qi Gathering realm and cannot release their spiritual power, they can use their spiritual power to protect their bodies, making it difficult for ordinary people to cause harm to them.
Li Hao finished arranging his defense, and with a ferocious smile on his face, he rushed towards Long Chen, grabbing Long Chen's shoulders with his hands.
The claws are filled with spiritual energy and are no different from iron hooks. If an ordinary person is caught, the shoulder bones will be broken immediately.
"Okay, Li Hao, completely destroy this bastard."
There was a loud roar from the audience. That person was none other than Wang Mang, who was slapped by Long Chen in the Taixue Palace and had half of his teeth knocked out.
Now that Wang Mang is so young, half of his teeth are missing. With his family's strength, he simply can't afford the pill that can regenerate bones. Now he has long hated Long Chen to death. Seeing that Long Chen is about to be killed
Holding it in hand, I couldn't help but cheer loudly.
He applauded, Shi Feng, Fatty Yu and others' expressions changed. Long Chen didn't show a trace of cultivation from beginning to end, which made their hearts suddenly rise to their throats.
Long Chen saw Li Hao rushing towards him, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took one step forward, facing Li Hao like a shadow.
