Thirty-Eight Gambles (Part 1)

  Tan Yong was originally nearby watching the excitement, and now it's convenient, he picked up his gun and walked to Liu Pan's opposite side.

  Liu Pan raised the ring-headed knife in his hand: "Brother, this flower horse knife of mine is lengthened, you'd better be careful!" After Master's instruction, he didn't dare to speak randomly either.

  Tan Yong had long noticed the long knife in his hand, with a thick back and thin blade, at least one and a half feet longer than the usual ring-headed knife in the army, with a total length of one and a half meters, a real long knife! The blood groove was pale and misty, obviously this knife had drunk a lot of blood, it was indeed a sharp killing tool.

  "Tan Mou's this gun..." Tan Yun paused for a moment, "The gun is eight feet long and is unlike any other, Brother Liu you must be careful!"

  "Hmm, a short gun!" This remark really caught Liu Pan's attention. Guns two or three meters long were common in the army, but an eight-foot gun was something he had never seen before.

  Xu Deng called out: "Two gentlemen, wait a moment."

  Liu Pan felt helpless and muttered, "Even fighting is so dragging." He looked at Qin Yu and saw that he was calm and composed, with no signs of impatience on his face. Liu Pan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, thinking to himself, "I've been surpassed by this kid again! Later, Master will definitely say that his internal energy skills are far superior to mine!"

  Tan Yong was immersed in the transmission of the mind method of the sea of knowledge, watching a martial arts competition between knives and guns.

  This is another unexpected event.

  Since entering the dark realm, every time I encounter an opponent, the transmission of the sea of consciousness will always change suddenly.

  This time, two small figures jumped out of the sea of recognition at the same time. One wielded a long spear and the other a ring-headed long knife, engaging in an exceptionally thrilling duel that captured people's hearts.

  It's strange that the small man who made the knife used a ring-headed knife with a length ratio that seems to be almost identical to Liu Pan's flower horse knife.

  After a few moves, Tan Yu confirmed that it was indeed Liu Pan's five-foot-long war knife.

  Both sides were skillful in their moves, and the battle was undoubtedly magnificent. However, Qin Yu's thoughts often wandered unconsciously: "Why is it always like this?"

  The consequence of this distraction is that he basically doesn't care about other movements outside his body, leaving only a hint of vigilance, waiting for Xu Deng and the others to finish their discussion and start fighting.

  On the other side, Xu Deng waved his hand and the servant Slaver hastily brought up a super-large wooden bed with thick tiger skin pads on it, looking colorful and warm.

  Four feet is called a couch, eight feet is called a bed. This wooden couch is six or seven feet long and almost catches up with the size of a large bedroom bed.

  Xu Deng shook his butt and sat down with a smile, beckoning Qu Qi: "Brother Qu, come on over."

  Gu Qi smiled and shook her head in polite refusal, thinking: "Even if this couch is so big, it's only enough for you to sit alone."

  Xu Deng shouted: "Go, set up a bed for each of the masters."

  Immediately, six people went out, each carrying a delicate four-foot sedan chair, and sent them to the front of Wang Yue, Shi Huang, Zhao Song, Zhang Jin, and Huang Zhong.

  Few people knew that today was the home court of Huo Shijia, and at least on the surface, they had to give Xu Duan some face, so no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all nodded and did not refuse.

  Kuai Qi also got one, this time he didn't decline, and happily did it.

  The wooden bench was covered with fiery red fox fur, and it felt very comfortable to sit on.

  Xu Deng saw that everyone was seated and felt a sense of relief. He waved his hand again, and six more people went out to send the remaining dark realm strongmen to their seats.

  These stools are a bit smaller, although the material and leather upholstery are also good, but compared to the previous ones, they are obviously one level worse.

  What Xu Deng wants to express is actually this kind of difference in hierarchy.

  Those dark realm powerhouses also expressed their gratitude to Xu Dēng. As for whether they had any objections in their hearts, Xu Dēng didn't mind either way.

  Xu Deng smiled and said to several people of the same level: "Hehe, I'd like to ask a few of you to be the referees for this battle, how about it?"

  Kui Qi is also a starter, Wang Yue and Huang Zhong both have apprentices to substitute, Xu Deng has a plan in mind, these three should be fine.

  It's mainly Zhao Song and Zhang Jin.

  Zhao Song opened his eyes and looked at Liu Pan, then looked at Qin Yun. He was just about to speak when Zhang Jin said: "These two young men are very good, I agree."

  Zhao Song glared at him for a moment, then nodded silently.

  Xu Deng burst out laughing: "The two of you are indeed worthy of being renowned scholars from the Central Plains, and your support for younger generations is truly admirable. Gentlemen, these two young men will be the mighty tigers of Jingzhou in the future, with unlimited prospects ahead of them. Now that we've met unexpectedly, why don't we make a small wager to test our eyesight and have a good laugh?"

  Kuai Qi immediately clapped her hands and laughed: "A small gamble to lift the mood. Brother Xu, what do you think about placing a bet?"

  Xu Dengdao said: "I have two servants behind me, one tall and one short, representing Liu Shixiong and Qin Shixiong. One thousand coins per bet, everyone can place their bets at will."

  Wang Yue furrowed his brow, and Xu Deng only said to bet at will, but didn't mention how to gamble. Why is that?

  Indeed, Kuai Qi asked: "Brother Xu, if I bet five stakes and win, what happens? If I lose, what happens?"

  Xu Dengdao said: "Brother Kua, if you place a bet, Xu will naturally follow suit. If we win, you can take it all."

  Ke Qi nodded and understood.

  "What if I place a bet?"

  Xu Deng bowed: "Han Sheng has made his move, naturally I, Xu, will not dare to slack off."

  Everyone understood that Xu Deng was going to take on all the bets alone and bear all the losses.

  "It's not easy being the host!" Wang Yue laughed.

  Xu Dengxiao: "But looking at all of your abilities, I have limited ability myself, there's nothing I won't allow."

  "Alright, I'll place ten bets first, betting on Liu Jun's victory."

  It's only natural, after all, they are from the same side of Jingzhou.

  Xu Deng nodded. The tall servant behind him on the left had already loudly announced: "Old Master Kuai, ten taels."

  "Tan Yu, twenty taels." King Yue's words were concise and to the point.

  Xu Deng's short servant shouted: "Mr. Wang, twenty taels."

  Huang Zhong said with a hint of pride: "Liu Bei, twenty arrows."

  The tall servant sang again.

  Zhang Jin looked at Zhao Song: "Zhao Xian Di, who do you think will win?"

  "I can't see it, can you?"

  Zhang Jin shook his head. The two young men's cultivation powers were similar, but there were many unclear areas between them, and those areas would be the key to determining victory or defeat. Even if they hadn't fought before, not even a master of the Transformation Realm would dare to lightly predict victory or defeat.

  Zhao Song glanced at him: "I'll make a bet with you. The winner will get all the stakes, and it will all go to the young man who wins the fight. How about that?"

  Who wins and who loses, depends on luck.

  "Of course."

  Zhao Song stretched out his hand: "Disciple, bring it over."

  His young apprentice, Sima Yin, hastily reached into his bosom and pulled out a small green jade bottle.

  "Hanbingxue San Wan, ten pills."

  "Hanbing Xue Shen Wan?"

  Several people looked at each other, this is indeed the true secret medicine passed down from the Zhao family ancestors, which has an extremely wonderful effect on treating internal injuries. The faces of one or two dark and powerful experts sitting around also showed unexpected colors, apparently they had heard of it before.

  "As expected, this Zhao Song is indeed a member of the Zhao family from True Definition." Wang Yue's mind was made up, and although he was a high-ranking scholar, he had never seen such an extraordinary medicine before, so he looked at it with great curiosity.
