Upon entering the arena, Lei Xingkong was greeted not only by cheers, but also by boos.
In this venue, it is not unusual for someone to be booed as soon as he takes the stage.
The Black Tigers had won two games in a row before, clean and tidy, and had already won the hearts of most of the spectators around them. At this time, it was obvious which side the people were in.
After Lei Xingkong came on stage, he just stood aside silently.
Although his face remained calm, secretly he was secretly happy. The more people supported Black Tiger, the higher the odds of the bet when he won in the end. In other words, that was what he could win in this game.
The more money.
The ghost face who presided over the arena was always eloquent and started bragging about the nickname "Crazy Sword Capital School".
He was born in the military, he has killed countless enemies, his ancestral sword skills are invincible, he is the future pillar of the Yulin Army... Anyway, it's just a bunch of words of praise.
Lei Xingkong listened on the sidelines. Although he felt that he had experienced three lives and had a certain thickness of face, he could not help but feel a little "tiger-like" after hearing these words.
…
On stage, continue the show.
Under the stage, in one of the VIP boxes, there was a person sitting at the front. When that person saw Lei Xingkong standing on the ring, he immediately showed a surprised look on his face.
"I didn't expect that this kid would show up here..."
After muttering something to himself, the man's mouth finally couldn't help but slowly curved up, turning into a sinister smile on his fair and wealthy face.
In the private room, in addition to the maidservant and the boy serving on the side, there were two other people sitting around the round table.
One of them saw the smile of the man in the middle and couldn't help but urge: "How about it, Marquis Jieyi, who do you want to bet on to win this game?"
The man in the middle with a sinister smile is none other than Guan Yancheng, Marquis of Jieyi.
Because he retreated from the barbarians at Yanyun Fortress, he became very popular after returning to the capital. Rumors have spread out in the imperial city that Emperor Yong is about to promote him and confer him the title of Duke of Anguo. This shows that the holy family is in good health, so there is no lack of traction from all parties.
Those who sell well will always be in the limelight.
He is one of the proprietors behind Yuhua Pavilion, and he comes here from time to time to watch the ghost show, but he didn't expect to come here today and meet Lei Xingkong.
Quickly coming back to his senses, Marquis Jieyi suppressed a smile and asked without answering: "Marquis Tao Luo, Uncle Qi Yang, which one are you going to bet on?"
The two people next to me are a third-class waiter and a first-class uncle. They are both dignitaries in the court. The one who asked the question just now was Uncle Qi Yang.
Hearing Marquis Jieyi ask this question, Qi Yangbo immediately replied: "This incident naturally happened on the black tiger."
Tao Luohou also nodded in agreement and said: "Black Tiger won two games in a row. In those two games, I saw that he didn't use any real skills at all. The opponent in this game is still young and too green, and the fight has not even started yet."
Lost half."
Marquis Jieyi shook his head and said, "I think Black Tiger will lose."
He had already seen Lei Xingkong's strength at Yanyun Fortress. Lei Xingkong's sword that contained the "power of heaven" that day was still fresh in his memory, so no matter how good Black Tiger's performance was in the previous two games
, but the gap in cultivation level was right in front of him, so he believed in his heart that Lei Xingkong would definitely win this battle.
"Oh? Marquis Jieyi is so sure?"
Uncle Qi Yang was startled for a moment, and Marquis Tao Luo also glanced at Marquis Jie Yi with a suspicious look on his face.
"You don't believe it?"
Marquis Jieyi chuckled and said: "How about this, let's make a bet, you will bet on the black tiger, and I will bet on the mad sword captain, let's see who wins and who loses in the end."
Tao Luohou and Qi Yangbo did not expect that Marquis Jieyi would propose a bet, so they couldn't help but hesitate.
Marquis Jieyi added: "Even if we bet against each other, how about each of you paying 100,000 gold baht and I paying 200,000?"
One on two?
Tao Luohou and Uncle Qi Yang looked at each other. How could they refuse such a good thing? Besides, they had not really paid attention to the 100,000 gold baht, so they both nodded and said: "Okay, it's settled."
Marquis Jieyi smiled with satisfaction, then turned to look at Lei Xingkong on the ring, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and thought to himself: "It's a pity that at this moment, there is no one in Yuhua Pavilion who can kill this kid...
Well, next time I must find someone with a high level of cultivation to be his opponent and kill him. Isn’t it time to get the Tianji sword?”
…
On the stage, after a round of explanations with a ghostly face, he finally loudly announced the start of the competition.
Lei Xingkong lowered his hand with the knife in his hand and looked at Heihu in a blink of an eye.
Ever since he entered the ring, Black Tiger's eyes have been wandering around his body, especially the position of his throat, which made him very unhappy. Now that the competition has begun, Black Tiger's eyes are even more fierce, and the machete in his hand is on
Suddenly a faint milky white hair appeared.
“Real temperament!”
Lei Xingkong knew it, but at this time he was more interested in the machete in Black Tiger's hand.
Compared with the long knives commonly used in the army, the machete in Black Tiger's hand is almost half shorter. This length is naturally not suitable for use in battle formations, but it is suitable for fighting in small spaces, such as streets and alleys, such as the arena in front of you...
Use this machete in situations where you need to fight hand-to-hand. It's definitely more advantageous to use the faster to defeat the slower.
"If you use a knife of this length, even though the attack range is smaller, it will be faster if you just use the Thunder Knife. Well, when you are free one day, I will also buy a short knife like this and carry it with me.
Maybe it can come in handy in the future."
Lei Xingkong's thoughts turned quickly, and in the blink of an eye he saw the black tiger suddenly move, and it rushed towards him at a very fast speed.
"Whoosh!"
As the body moved forward, the machete in Black Tiger's hand also moved very quickly, carrying a white blade light, and cut towards his throat.
"So cruel!"
Lei Xingkong still lowered his hand and held the knife, looking at the incoming sword light without moving.
In the eyes of others, this sword was very fast, but to him, it was not that fast.
He waited until the sword light came close to him, and could feel the coldness of the sword light on his skin. Then he turned his body slightly to the side, and followed the direction of the sword light at the same speed...
"good!"
In the previous two games, Black Tiger had killed his opponent with one strike, and he had slashed his opponent's throat with one strike. Therefore, from the moment he pounced on Lei Xingkong, cheers rang out from around the ring... When he saw Black Tiger
The machete struck at the mad sword master very quickly, but the kid "didn't know how to dodge". The people who had bet on the black tiger were so excited that they cheered loudly, feeling that they had already won.
But soon——
They couldn't cheer because they saw that after the machete had used up its power, it somehow just slid past the mad sword captain's neck and failed to hit the kid as expected.
"..."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Lei Xingkong stood there, as if he had never moved, with the long knife still hanging upside down in his hand.
On the contrary, the black tiger, after his sword missed, quickly dodged away, almost to the edge of the ring, and then stood still, staring at Lei Xingkong.
