Dong Zhongshan, 30 years old, is in Perfect Qi Realm and is good at wielding two swords. He is a well-known boxer in the Zhanmen Realm. He has only lost two games since his debut. In one case, one ear was cut off, and in the other, half was cut off. nose.
The way the third game was handled was hard to find fault with, so people’s attention immediately shifted to Zhang Xiaozu. They began to be optimistic about him and wanted to bet on him. However, when the bookmaker announced that the boxer in the fourth game was Dong Zhongshan. After that, almost everyone automatically ignored their previous thoughts and placed their bets on Dong Zhongshan.
Of course, there are also many ruthless characters who are desperate to take a chance, because the odds of winning by buying a pawn are ten to one, which is really tempting.
"What a fool, try your best!"
"Little brother, I will bet the lives of my family of seven to play hard with you!" the fat man next to Zhou Jianlai shouted through gritted teeth.
Ever since he just saw Zhou Jianlai betting two thousand taels on Zhang Xiaopawn's victory without batting an eyelid, the fat man had become attached to Zhou Jianlai. He kept talking, asking for information in a roundabout way, wondering why Zhou Jianlai was so interested in Zhang Xiaopou. Guaranteed, as for Zhou Jian's statement that he always bought with high odds, he didn't quite believe it.
It's a pity that he has dried up his saliva and can't get a reliable word out of Zhou Jianlai's mouth. Seeing that the fourth match was about to begin and the game was about to be closed, his plump cheeks showed a fierce look, and he slapped his thigh fiercely, making up his mind to gamble and buy a pawn to win.
When Zhou Jianlai heard the fat man's harsh words, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly called him out and said, "Don't, what if we lose? I can't bear the lives of your family of seven."
"Little brother, to tell you the truth, brother and I have been forced to a dead end and have no way out." The fat man said with a bitter look on his face, with a cry in his tone, "My brother's family has been without food and water for three days. I am I sold all my belongings, even pawned the land and house deeds, just hoping that tonight I could find a way out for my whole family. I had lost three games in a row, and now only had fifty taels left, so I had to put all my money into it. I won. The whole family eats meat, and if they lose the battle, the whole family will starve to death.”
"You are such a bastard. The whole family is starving to death. You sold your belongings and pawned the land deeds. Instead of buying food when you got the money, you used it to block the boxing ring. It's really sad to be your family." Zhou Jianlai cursed angrily.
"I - there's nothing I can do!" the fat man shouted with trembling lips, "There are only two hundred taels in total. If you replace it with food, you will only live ten days and a half longer. You will die sooner or later. It’s better to come to the boxing ring and fight.”
"Get out!" Zhou Jianlai cursed with a cold face.
"Hey -" The fat man sighed heavily, turned around and squeezed into the crowd, walking towards the counter where the bets were placed. He stood in front of the counter and hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and bet the remaining fifty taels on Zhang Xiaopou.
"Sir, the plate is about to be closed, who will buy it?" the maid anxiously asked in the private room.
"Zhang Xiaopeng, five thousand taels." The young master finally made a decision in his heart.
His voice trembled slightly, and his hands clenched into fists at some point, with a thin layer of sweat oozing out from the palms of his fists. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had had this tense and exciting feeling of clenching his fists.
He knew Dong Zhongshan's strength, but he had no idea about Zhang Xiaozu's strength, because Zhang Xiaozu only threw two punches from the beginning to the end, and they looked like his opponent bumped into his fists intentionally, so there was no reference value at all. The only reference value is that his momentum is very strong and can crush Luo Shisan.
But Dong Zhongshan was also much stronger than Luo Shisan, so he couldn't be sure who was stronger or weaker, Dong Zhongshan or Zhang Xiaopou, he could only guess.
"Huh? So much?" The maid was shocked by the number reported by the young master.
In the past, this amount of money was just a drop in the bucket for the young master, but now it is different from the past. All kinds of resources are scarce, and every family is budgeting carefully. The first thing to do is to cut off the months of the family's children. So the current five thousand taels is almost half of the young master's net worth.
"This is interesting and fun." The young master's eyes were burning and he waved his hand, signaling the maid to quickly place a bet.
After a while, the maid came back from placing her bet, pouting and looking unhappy.
When the young master found out, he smiled and asked, "Why do you look so sad?"
The maid said: "The third master of the Wei family lives in the private room next door. He was there when I went to place my bets. When I saw my slave buying Zhang Xiaopawn to win, he said that your master is out of his mind and sent money to the boxing ring."
"Wei Sanpao? He defended Dong Zhongshan to win?" Young Master asked.
"Yes." The maid nodded.
"How much was deposited?"
"Ten thousand taels."
"Oh. That's so heroic." Young Master immediately gave a thumbs up.
Dong dong dong——
Suddenly there was a knock on the door of the private room, followed by an arrogant voice, saying: "I heard that Second Young Master Zhu bought 5,000 taels of pawns to win. My younger brother was delighted to hear this and came here to see how Second Young Master Zhu lost money. Style, I wonder if Second Young Master Zhu is willing to give me this opportunity?"
There was a strong hint of provocation in his words, and he knew that his relationship with the young master was not good at ordinary times.
"He--he's going too far!" The maid stamped her feet and said, but there was nothing she could do.
"It doesn't matter." The young master waved his hand to indicate to the maid not to mind, and at the same time motioned the maid to open the door with his eyes, and said: "I heard from my maid that Mr. Wei San has paid 10,000 taels for Dong Zhongshan's victory. If he loses later, he will not be so angry that he will accept it. Jump down here. You came just in time, so if anything happens, I can stop you."
"Haha, it's easy to talk." Following the laughter, a young man in a red shirt walked in. His peach-blossom eyes glanced around the maid in a lewd manner, and he smacked his mouth and said to the young man: "Anything else. If you don’t agree with me, I’ll just obey your determination. You can’t bear to pick the ripe peach lying next to you. Hehe, don’t you have something to hide?”
"Get out!" Young Master said in a foul language.
"I'm willing to pay twenty thousand taels——"
"Shut up!" The young master shouted angrily, interrupting the young master surnamed Wei, and said in an unhappy tone: "If you dare to try to trick her again, don't blame me for being unkind."
"Huh!" Mr. Wei shook his sleeves displeasedly, a fierce look flashed in the corner of his eyes.
In the field, Dong Zhongshan stepped onto the ring amidst deafening cheers. He was missing a nose and ears, and had a shaved head, exposing two hideous scars, which were particularly dazzling and terrifying.
"Yancheng, Dong Zhongshan, I have been ordered to take your head!" Dong Zhongshan pointed his sword directly at Zhang Xiaopeng and said with a gloomy look.
"Baiyun City, Zhang Xiaopeng, please enlighten me." Zhang Xiaopeng calmly held his hands in his hand, unmoved.
"The fourth round of the explosive competition begins!" The referee in the audience gave the order and the fight began.
Dong Zhongshan's body suddenly moved. He did not open the battle gate in front of Zhang Xiaozu to boost his momentum like most of the people who had fought against Zhang Xiaozu. Instead, he silently and instantly penetrated the three battle gates. The speed reached the limit in an instant.
His figure was erratic, as fast as a ghost, and he waved his swords, leaving cold afterimages in the air.
Zhang Xiaozu did not move where he was, but the "white giant ape" formed by the condensed white air rushed towards Dong Zhongshan.
He was experimenting with momentum attacks, which he became very interested in.
The great white ape rushed towards Dong Zhongshan ferociously, but was blocked by the green air flow coming out of Dong Zhongshan's body. The green air flow covered Dong Zhongshan like an egg shell. No matter how hard the white great ape beat and bit it, it could not break through.
Whoosh!
The cold blade grazed Zhang Xiaopou's throat and cut it.
Dong Zhongshan spat angrily, feeling that if Zhang Xiaopou hadn't been lucky, this knife would have cut off his throat.
Dong Zhongshan's feet were fast, and the double swords in his hands were even faster. They were flying up and down, appearing and disappearing. For a moment, Zhang Xiaopeng was forced to dodge left and right, unable to find a chance to counterattack.
"It's over. It's over. It's all over." The fat man sitting next to Zhou Jianlai in the stands saw Zhang Xiaopou being suppressed by Dong Zhongshan and was unable to fight back. He couldn't help holding his fat head and wailing in pain.
Zhou Jianlai also frowned, wondering what happened to Zhang Xiaopou, how could he be suppressed by Dong Zhongshan?
"Haha, Second Young Master Zhu, your five thousand taels of silver have been wasted." In the private room, Mr. Wei laughed happily.
The young man in white looked stiff and looked a little ugly.
"Sir, it's only five thousand taels, we can afford to lose." The maid comforted by her side.
Whoosh!
The cold blade grazed Zhang Xiaopou's throat again, and it was just a hair's breadth, extremely dangerous.
However, if you look closely, although Zhang Xiaozu's dodge looks a bit embarrassing, his expression is calm from beginning to end. Even when the blade grazed his throat, his eyelids didn't even twitch.
The subtle realm has already seen every move of Dong Zhongshan, and the calculated trajectory of the two swords is accurate. The seemingly dangerous dodge is actually extremely safe for Zhang Xiaopou.
when!
Zhang Xiaozu moved the bone knife in his hand horizontally, blocking Dong Zhongshan's double swords, and at the same time, he punched out with his right fist.
