Chapter 373 Gambling Frenzy
Lin Mu's hands were bleeding profusely and his face was pale. He looked at Xing Yun on the stage and he forced a smile.
In this competition, Xing Yun made many concessions to him, but even so, he still couldn't defeat Xing Yun without using two consecutive sword skills.
Although he hides a lot of strength, who knows whether Xing Yun hides his strength?
To outsiders, his hands were bloody and badly injured. Xing Yun looked pale and fell to the ground. Both of them seemed to be trying their best. But in fact, Lin Mu didn't show all his strength, and Xing Yun probably didn't either!
But after this incident, Lin Mu finally felt confident.
Xing Yun's strength is mainly reflected in his sword moves, instant sword moves, or dozens of moves at once! This is an incredible stunt!
In addition, Xing Yun was also very good at controlling the situation. Lin Mu was also impressed. From the beginning to the end, he had been seizing the opportunity and taking the initiative, but at the last moment, the initiative still fell into Xing Yun's hands!
Relying on this momentary advantage, Xing Yun launched a wave of sharp attacks and forced him to step down.
Xing Yun's performance in sword moves was stunning and impressive. Lin Mu even suspected that Xing Yun had hidden sword moves that no one knew about!
Xing Yun also had the advantage when it came to flying swords. The two top-quality flying swords were both extremely sharp. The sharpness made him stunned. He had never seen such sharp flying swords.
What made Lin Mu even more helpless was that a pure swordsman like Xing Yun actually had a micro-magic weapon for defense!
Whether it was attack or defense, Xing Yun was able to handle it with ease. Until now, only Lin Mu had forced him to show some of his true strength, but this part of his strength deeply shocked all cultivators in the Tianxiao Realm.
"Xingyun is really too powerful!" Many cultivators couldn't help but sigh.
"Sweep, sweep everyone!" A cultivator in the Spirit Silence Stage was excited.
"Lin Mu is a pity!" Some people felt unfair for Lin Mu.
"Lin Mu really didn't lose unjustly!" Someone gloated: "I bullied some weak people before, but when I met the truly strong Xing Yun, I was knocked down with a bang!"
Some of the cultivators who challenged Lin Mu immediately retorted angrily: "Didn't you see that Xing Yun's victory was extremely thrilling? If Lin Mu hadn't been surrounded by Xing Yun's two flying swords at the last moment, would Xing Yun have won? He had no spiritual power at that time. Exhausted!"
"That's right, who can force Xing Yun to this point?"
"In the next competition, I believe Lin Mu will be able to counterattack!" Feng Hou also joined in and said firmly: "He will not always be defeated!"
Some Jindan cultivators were also amazed.
"Where does this Xing Yun come from?" Cai Heng, the head of Wanjian Sect, frowned and looked at the head of Tianjian Sect next to him.
The head of the Tianjian Sect also looked puzzled: "It is said that he is a casual cultivator, but how can a casual cultivator have such great strength? How can he perform such shocking sword moves? Although he won this victory in an awkward manner, he did not use any Sword skills!"
Cai Heng was thoughtful, several thoughts flashed through his mind, but they were all rejected one by one, and then he gave up helplessly.
"Xing Yun is so mysterious!" The heads of the other sects also praised him one after another.
In front of the main hall, Master Wushuang said with a regretful expression: "Lin Mu fell short. It's a bit inexplicable that Lin Mu lost."
Turning around and looking at Yinxin, Master Wushuang asked as if he had some enlightenment: "Could it be that he gave in on purpose? Didn't he already comprehend the two-shot sword skill before? Was it just that he was in good condition at the time and did not truly comprehend it?"
Yinxin looked calm, neither sad nor happy, and said calmly: "This competition is not the final battle. Temporary victory is nothing. Lin Mu can also enter the top four. Everything will be determined when the time comes."
Master Wushuang nodded with a smile.
At this time, Qiu Wei lowered his body, stood on the high platform, and announced loudly: "Xing Yun wins in this competition!"
The audience burst into cheers and discussions again, and it was very lively.
Lin Mu looked calm, put away the Xuanjin Sword, and flew back to Yinxin and the others.
Taking out the Shengsheng Hematopoietic Pill and the Hehe Hemostasis Pill, Lin Mu, with the help of Luo Yan, rushed to heal his wounds. With the help of these two healing medicines, Lin Mu stopped bleeding and his wounds gradually healed. The medicine was very effective, but if he wanted to recover, he still needed to A few days of work.
The competition between masters was extremely thrilling and it was extremely easy to be seriously injured. Even if Xing Yun showed mercy, Lin Mu was seriously injured.
The competition between Lin Mu and Xing Yun was the pinnacle of the battle, attracting everyone's attention. The other competitions ended one after another. Lian Shu won again. When he returned to the main hall, they decided to leave.
Before leaving, Lin Mu glanced at the southwest corner of the square intentionally or unintentionally, and met the smiling gaze of his superior Judge Sikong. After the two nodded in subtle ways, Lin Mu hurriedly left with Yinxin and others.
After this competition, he will show his strength against Xing Yun, be targeted and improve his level as soon as possible.
Watching Lin Mu's retreating figure, Sikong Pian smiled and looked back.
Sure enough, as he and Lin Mu said before, Lin Mu lost this competition at the perfect time.
He is confident that he can make a huge profit from this gamble!
What made him even more delighted was that Lin Mu had forced Xing Yun to this point without even using his sword skills. If he used all his strength, he would have a great chance of defeating Xing Yun!
By then, compared with Xing Yun, if he also goes to the Tianxiao Realm, he can earn a huge amount of spiritual stones and gain both fame and fortune! However, Xing Yun was unable to defeat even the cultivators from the Tianxiao Realm, and his reputation was ruined! Comparing the two, he will definitely be able to win back a victory and firmly gain the upper hand!
Of course, all of this is closely related to Lin Mu. Lin Mu carries all his hopes, which can be called decisive!
He also operated this bet based on Lin Mu's ability to win first place.
No matter what, even if Lin Mu loses in the final battle, he must be won over!
Now it seems that Lin Mu has at least a 50% chance of a comeback!
After that, Si Kongpan began to adjust the odds of all the players with a smile on his face.
Among the remaining twelve cultivators, the odds of all of them began to soar!
Lin Mu's odds soared from 50 times to 100 times now!
But the number of cultivators betting on him did not increase much.
Because the odds of others increased more!
The odds of cultivators like Luo Chen are as high as 500 times!
But no one bet on him. He only won one game by chance now. There is no hope of entering the top four, let alone taking the first place. No one is stupid, and there are not so many spirit stones that can be thrown away at random!
There are cultivators who hope to enter the top four, but many people bet crazily!
Xu Hai, the odds are as high as 300 times!
There are also quite a few cultivators betting on him.
Gu Yun, the odds are also as high as 300 times, and there are also many cultivators betting on him!
The odds of 300 times made everyone crazy!
Getting rich overnight is not a dream!
If the odds of these few people are reasonable, but the odds of the remaining two people are incredible. I don’t know what the white-clothed cultivator is thinking.
Chu Zhen’s current record is nine wins and one loss, ranking second, but the odds are as high as 400 times!
Many people are crazy and scramble to bet on Chu Zhen.
But the crazier thing is still to come. Sikong Pan actually increased the odds of Xing Yun!
Before, the odds of Xing Yun were ten times, and they had been kept very low, but now they have soared twenty times, reaching one to two hundred!
Two hundred times odds!
It’s still Xing Yun!
Everyone thinks that Sikong Pan is crazy, absolutely crazy.
He dares to open such odds.
Many people thought that Sikong Pan was negligent when changing the odds, and they couldn’t help asking repeatedly, but they all got affirmative answers.
The onlookers went completely crazy. Some cultivators who had no intention of participating in the gambling game before were also eager to try, and squeezed outside the black crowd, waiting to take Xingyun! Sikong Pan and the blue-robed cultivator Dongfang Tanxiao, and the green-robed cultivator Ye Xingchen, the three of them were busy recording the jade slips, and they were very busy. "I'll pay 10,000 spirit stones, take Xingyun!" "I'll pay 30,000 spirit stones, take Xingyun!" "I'll pay 60,000 spirit stones, take Xingyun!" Most of the cultivators, without exception, took Xingyun! At this time, the dense crowd was suddenly separated from it, leaving a path, and a green-robed cultivator walked up slowly. Sikong Pan was surprised. When he looked up, he saw that the person who came was actually a Jindan-stage cultivator. After a little surprise, he regained his composure and asked, "What do you want?"
Behind Sikong Pan, the blue-robed cultivator Dongfang Tanxiao looked at the person who came, and his mind turned secretly. He knew this person. He was the late Jindan elder of Wanjian Sect, Gu Hai!
Gu Hai looked at Sikong Pan and said with a smile, "I will pay one million spiritual stones to bet on Xing Yun!"
"One million!" Everyone gasped.
The green-robed cultivator Ye Xingchen whispered, "This is too cruel! If Xing Yun really wins, he will have to pay him 200 million spiritual stones!"
"A full 200 million spiritual stones!" Ye Xingchen groaned in grief, feeling his heart bleeding.
He and Sikong Pan have already signed an employment agreement. From now on, Sikong Pan will be his young master. Although he knows that the young master is very rich, he still thinks that the young master's change of the odds is too crazy! It's just giving away spiritual stones!
Dongfang Tanxiao also felt that something was not right. Gu Hai bet a million low-grade spirit stones at once, which was too cruel!
With so many spirit stones, to participate in the gambling game, Gu Hai was either just looking for trouble or really wanted to make a fortune!
Like everyone else, he stared at Sikong Pan closely, wanting to see how he would do it.
Sikong Pan smiled, his expression did not change at all, and smiled to Gu Hai: "Of course you can. Please give me one million spirit stones!"
Sikong Pan's performance made Gu Hai find any flaws. Such a calm performance also surprised him. He originally wanted to deliberately find trouble and test this person. After all, this person's performance far exceeded that of ordinary spiritual solitude cultivators, and his demeanor was elegant and luxurious. Even when he stood in front of Sikong Pan, he felt inferior and looked much more miserable. But when he saw Sikong Pan smiling, he didn't know why, and a chill suddenly emerged in his heart.
His intuition told him not to act rashly!
With a smile on his face, Gu Hai took out a storage bag and handed it to Si Kong Pan, saying with a smile: "One million spiritual stones, all here."
Si Kong Pan had a faint smile on his face. He checked the number of spiritual stones in the storage bag, then put the storage bag away and said with a smile: "It's exactly one million. I'll open the jade slip for you now."
While speaking, Si Kong Pan took out a special blue jade slip, left a divine mark in it, and recorded the number of spiritual stones Gu Hai bet, the date of the bet, and the odds at the time. Then, he handed the blue jade slip to Gu Hai and said with a smile: "If Xing Yun finally wins the first place, you can come to me with this jade slip to receive 200 million low-grade spiritual stones!"
"Two hundred million low-grade spiritual stones!"
As soon as these words came out, tens of thousands of onlookers burst into cheers and praises, and were very excited.
Everyone went crazy in an instant, and took out spiritual stones to bet.
A gambling frenzy began to spread!
It's getting more and more intense!
