The Sword of Power
Chapter 9 - Gambling
As the name implies, the Life and Death Arena was a place where life and death were determined.
It was impossible to avoid hostility between disciples of any sect. So, since something has happened, it must be handled in the right way. The reason the Sword Sect had set up this Life and Death Arena was to handle the hostility between disciples. After irreconcilable hostility emerged among the disciples, then they could challenge the other party. Of course, the challenger should not be more than two cultivation levels higher than the person being challenged.
Yang Ye originally did not intend to issue such a challenge to the Life and Death Arena, but when he saw Duan Jun make a deadly attack against him, he did not, he knew that Duan Jun had no intention of letting go at all. On the other hand, once he fought Duan Jun on the spot, then no matter he won or lost, he would still suffer losses.
If he lost, then obviously, Duan Jun could torture and kill him; if he won, then not only would he not gain any advantage, he would not even be able to kill Duan Jun. Even until he would get into trouble just by injuring Duan Jun. After all, he was only a Labor Disciple now. Only in the Life and Death Arena would he be in a fair situation against Duan Jun, and he would be able to kill Duan Jun!
"Haha!!" After he returned to his senses, Duan Jun burst into laughter as he pointed to Yang Ye, and he revealed an unseen humiliation and said, “I will die from laughing! The number one trash in history actually challenged me in the Life and Death Arena? On what basis did you present this challenge? Because you are the number one scum in history? ”
Yang Ye really did not care about Duan Jun's humiliation, and he said, “According to the rules of the Sword Sect, when someone with a lower cultivation challenged someone with a higher cultivation, then the man cannot refuse. Of course, you can reject me if you insist. However, that way, the Sword Sect will probably start spreading the word about how you, Duan Jun, do not even dare to accept the challenge from the Labour Disciple! "
I know you provoked me! Duan Jun laughed coldly and said, “However, I accept your challenge. Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will destroy all the bones in your body, one by one, in the Life and Death Arena and in front of everyone within the Sword Sect. I will allow everyone to understand that a piece of trash will just be trash. Even if you become a Profound Being, you will still become trash! ”
"You're done? If you're done, then I'll see you in the Life and Death Arena! " Yang Ye glanced at Duan Jun indifferently, then he turned around and walked towards the Life and Death Arena.
As he looked at Yang Ye's casual appearance, the killing intent in Duan Jun's eyes grew denser and denser. A piece of trash like you trying to act like an expert? Yang Ye not only destroyed the source of his wealth; yang Ye was even challenging him in public right now. He felt that being challenged by the Labour Disciple was an insult to him. I will make you suffer!
......
“Yang Ye challenged the Outer Court Disciple to battle in the Life and Death Arena. Come on, quickly go to watch it! ”
"What's? Are you sure Yang Ye is challenging the Outer Court Disciple? Is there something wrong with his head? "
“You're the one who has something wrong in your head, your whole family has something wrong in their heads. A moment ago, the cousin of******** Du Xiu was looking for trouble with Yang Ye, yet he never imagined that Yang Ye had become a Yang Ye. Moreover, he challenged cousin Du Xiu on the spot. Now, they had already headed to the Life and Death Arena. You have to leave quickly! ”
“Yang Ye is already a Profound person? Goody. Let's cheer for Yang Ye…. "
The Peak of the Outer Field.
"What's? A Labor Pupil challenged one of our Outer Court Pupils? Even that number one piece of trash in history? Are you sure Isn't that the number one trash in history not even the Profound? ”
“I don't know. After all, they had already headed to the Life and Death Arena. Let's go quickly. If we're late, the Labour Disciple has already been killed, and we won't be able to watch the show. I'll go tell the others. "
“A Labor Student challenges one of our Outer Court Pupils? That was even in the Life and Death Arena? He really had an exaggerated opinion about his abilities. Come on, let's see how one of the Outer Court Pupils taught him a lesson. "
Not long after, the news of Yang Ye challenging the Outer Court Disciple quickly swept over the Labor Peak and Outer Court Peak like a plague, and several thousand Labour Pupils and several hundred Outer Court Pupils rushed to the Arena of Life and Death .
......
In the Life and Death Arena, an old man wearing a green and white robe looked at Yang Ye and the green-clothed man. However, the old man's gaze was mostly on Yang Ye. The old man was named Cao Huo, and he was the Outer Court Elder of the Sword Sect who organized the Enforcement Team in the outer court. In the past, he had witnessed many battles in the Life and Death Arena, yet this was still the first time he had witnessed a Labor Disciple challenging the Outer Court Disciple.
Cao Huo waved his right hand, causing the two crystal Energy Stones to float towards Yang Ye and Duan Jun, and he said, “There are no rules in the Life and Death Arena, and, and you two can use any method! For the sake of justice, the two of you should fully replenish the Profound Energy within your body now, and then begin. " As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the old man flashed to the side.
"You're dead!" Duan Jun looked at Yang Ye and spoke indifferently.
Yang Ye did not answer. He walked over to the nearest weapon rack instead, and he chose a sword from among them. The sword was 1.5 m long, two fingers wide, and forged from ordinary iron refined 100 times. It wasn't something good, and it didn't have any ratings.
"Green Hornet Sword, a low-level Yellow Level, was able to slice through iron like mud." Meanwhile, a sword appeared in Duan Jun's hand. He looked at Yang Ye and said, “But don't worry, I won't kill you. I'm going to scold the tendons in your arms and legs, crush the bones all over your body, and then send someone to send you back to your home so you and your family can endure your pain together! What do you think? I'm kind, aren't I? "
Yang Ye casually swung the sword in his hand, and then he said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I will also be kind to you!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ye sat down cross-legged and absorbed the energy within the Energy Stone.
Duan Jun eyes flickered with a terrifying and cold killing intent, then he sat down cross-legged and absorbed the energy within the Energy Stone as well.
At this moment, over 100 Outer Court Disciples were looking at Yang Ye and the green-clothed man from a place outside the Life and Death Arena. One of them with an oval face said to the Outer Court Disciple by his side. “Jiang Qiushui, Duan Jun was ranked eighth from the Mortal Realm. I don't know what the cultivation of that Labor Disciple is, but I'm sure Duan Jun will definitely take his head in 10 steps. "
I'm sure it'll be five steps! The man named Jiang Qiushui looked at the man with an oblong face and said, "20 Energy Stones, do you dare to take this bet for me?"
“You think so low from that Labor Student?” The man with an oblong face spoke with a smile.
“He entered the sect for two years, yet he only became a Profound Yang now. Is such trash worth making me think highly of him? " Jiang Qiushui said with disdain. “How about that? I'll bet 20 Energy Stones that Duan Jun will take over his head in five moves. Dare to take my bets? ”
"I bet on five steps!"
"I bet on 10 steps!"
“I bet 50 Energy Stones, That Labour Student will win!” Right at this moment, a clear and resounding voice that seemed to be immature resounded.
All the Outer Court Disciples were stunned. When they turned to look, they saw a little girl of about 14 or 15 years old grinning as she looked at them. The little girl wore a light yellow dress with a floral pattern, and covered her slim figure that was beginning to take shape. She has willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows, tiny cherry lips, and a pair of lively eyes that often swirl and reveal a strand of cunning.
The little girl was none other than Bao'er from Talisman Peak. He had specifically come to look for Yang Ye today, yet he never expected that Yang Ye would actually fight with someone. Never had he imagined that these people before him would actually look down on Yang Ye. He knew how powerful Yang Ye was, and Yang Ye had the Profound Energy of the five elements!
When all the Outer Court Pupils noticed that it was a little girl, they were a little surprised. Even though the little girl was young, they could still imagine the incomparable elegance she would possess once she matured. Moreover, some of their eyes even revealed a streak of lustful light.
When he realized some of them had disgusting gazes, Bao'er let out a cold snort, and then he pulled out a stack of talismans before walking over to Jiang Qiushui and the others. He said, "I'd like to bet with you! I'm sure the little worker will win. "
Jiang Qiushui was stunned. However, when he saw the pile of talismans in Bao's hands, Jiang Qiushui was instantly stunned on the spot. He returned to his senses after a long time, and his originally cold and proud expression became excited as he asked in a light voice. “You, you're from Talisman Peak?”
Meanwhile, all the other Outer Court Disciples had noticed the pile of talismans in Bao'er's hands. It was a talisman that only experts ranked in the top 10 of the Outer Court Rankings had the qualifications to be accepted from the Talisman Peak! All their gazes were burning with desire.
Bao'er snorted and said, “Yes, I'm sure Labour Disciple will win. Did you all bet? ” He really disliked these people because not only did they look down on Little Labor, they even looked at him with such disgusting gazes, he said, so he intended to win all of their cultivation resources!
He wants the Labour Students to win?
All the Outer Court Disciples glanced at each other when they heard this. Is there something wrong with this little girl's head? He really wanted to bet that the Labour Disciple would win! After all, Duan Jun was already at the eighth rank of the Mortal Realm, whereas the Labour Disciple was at most ranked fourth or fifth of the Mortal Realm. So, was he able to defeat Duan Jun?
When they thought up to here, they all glanced at each other before they actually showed an unseen greed from their eyes.
Jiang Qiushui's eyes flickered, then he said, "We. However, you should be a broker because we all bet that Labour Disciples loses. What do you think?"
Bao thought for a moment, then he said, "Alright, you all place bets. I can accept bets in any size! "
Jiang Qiushui suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued. “See, we have a few hundred. That's a pretty big amount. If you lose, then…. ”
Bao naturally knew what Jiang Qiushui meant. He immediately raised his eyebrows before pulling the pile of talismans from within the small pouch in front of him and said, “Oh, there are about 20 talismans here, and all of them are in the middle class. Each of them could be sold for around 500 Energy Stones. If I lose, then I will use it to repay my debt, is it okay? "
A middle class talisman? As they stared at the talisman in Bao's hands, all of their eyes shone extremely brightly due to greed. Every middle-class Talisman was not something that only 500 Energy Stones could afford. If they got it and sold it, even obtaining 1,000 Energy Stones would not be a problem.
This time, Jiang Qiushui did not need to say anything, and all the Outer Court Disciples hurriedly nodded and agreed. It rarely happens when a generous person comes to give them free wealth, so if they don't take it, then they will suffer the wrath of heaven!
“I bet 500 Energy Stone!” Meanwhile, Jiang Qiushui spoke up abruptly. "I don't carry so many Energy Stones right now, so you can remember the numbers for now. If I lose, then I will definitely give it to you. We're all Outside Court Pupils, so we didn't cheat you! "
When they heard Jiang Qiushui, all the Labour Disciples were stunned. 500 Energy Stones was not a small amount. After all, they could only obtain 20 Energy Stones each month. So, did Jiang Qiushui really have so much?
As the Outer Court Disciple thought, Jiang Qiushui really did not have 500 Energy Stones. However, he was not afraid. Because could the Labour Student win? The answer is absolutely impossible!
Bao'er thought for a moment and said, “Alright, all of you also placed a bet! I'll remember everything for all of you. " He was not afraid that these people would retract their words because no one in the Sword Sect would dare to take advantage of him!
I will add another 2,000 Energy Stones! When he heard that they could owe, for the time being, Jiang Qiushui immediately added another 2,000 Energy Stones. He would definitely not forgive himself even he did not utilize such a 'cheap' person.
When they heard Bao'er agree to allow Jiang Qiushui to owe him for now, a commotion arose among the other disciples, and then they immediately made an offer.
"I'll bet 1,000 Energy Stones as well!"
I'll bet 800!
I'll bet 2,000!
When he saw all of them placing their bets, Bao'er smiled until his eyes narrowed, and then he hurriedly pulled the brush to record all their bets. In his opinion, it was best that Yang Ye could win, and it was fine even if he lost. After all, not only was there such a large number of talismans at Talisman Peak, even he himself could make them as well.
