...
"Hey, brothers, let's follow the trend? Make less money and mix in some drinking money."
"That's right, such a good opportunity cannot be missed."
"Who are you betting on to win?"
"Does that need to be said? You must bet on the old man of the Wang family. He is a serious veteran of the fifth grade. He even defeated the former city lord Yun Feiyu. No matter how you look at this strength, it should not be bad, right?"
"Then I will also vote for Mr. Wang."
Zhang Ergou collected a wave of money, came to Shen Cong, smiled and said:
"Master Shen, do you want to play along?"
Shen Cong nodded.
"I'll bet one thousand taels of Linggu."
"What? Do you want to charge Zhong Linggu?"
It was not surprising to everyone that Shen Cong had one thousand taels. Shen Cong was the top blacksmith in the shop, and even the top blacksmith in the entire Yuncheng. It was normal to have one thousand taels.
But what people are confused about is that Shen never suppressed the old man of the Wang family, but Zhong Linggu.
"Master Shen, with all due respect, although you have some money, you can't be so prodigal. Now everyone is optimistic about the old man of the Wang family. If you and everyone else go in the opposite direction, you will definitely suffer. By then, this thousand taels will be It’s gone.”
Shen Cong smiled.
"It doesn't matter. Everyone chooses the Wang family. The odds are too low. I choose the Zhong family. If I win, I can make a lot of money at once."
"No, Master Shen, your chance of winning is too small, almost nothing. I advise you to think again, if it doesn't work out, just bet 500 taels on the Wang family and another 500 taels on the Zhong family."
Shen Cong shook his head.
"No, I will only protect the Zhong family."
Seeing that Shen Cong was so determined, everyone couldn't say anything else. They could only shake their heads and sigh, thinking about how to comfort Shen Cong then.
He will definitely lose all of his one thousand taels.
In fact, Shen Cong was absolutely sure of his bet.
Because he will take action.
The old thief of the Wang family took advantage of my youth and weakness, destroyed my farmland, and robbed me of my radishes. It's time to settle this debt with him.
On the day of the decisive battle, after he has plundered the Wang family, it will be the time for the old thief of the Wang family to die!
Third-grade versus fifth-grade, even if the opponent hides his strength and has already entered the fourth-grade, it is impossible to defeat the third-grade.
Without a 100% winning rate, Shen Cong would never involve himself in it.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the eve of the decisive battle between the Wang family and the Zhong family.
On this day, Shen Cong came back from the blacksmith shop and met Ruan Hongyu at the door.
"Ruan Fengwei."
"Master Xiao Shen."
The two have been neighbors for a long time. Although they have not communicated in depth, they still have some superficial friendship with each other and can be regarded as half friends. When they meet and greet each other, Ruan Hongyu is not as proud as when they first met.
"Why did Ruan Fengwei come back so early today?"
"Tomorrow there will be a duel between the Zhong family and the Wang family. I asked for leave in advance and prepared to observe it. If you have nothing to do, you'd better go and watch it. There are not many duels between fifth-grade masters. If you can learn from it, Understanding it may be more beneficial to your future breakthroughs."
Shen Cong shook his head.
"I won't go. My cultivation is very shallow, so even if I go, I may not be able to understand it. I'd better practice at home and lay a foundation."
Ruan Hongyu didn't try to persuade her. After all, she knew in her heart that ordinary people, like Shen Cong, could only reach a ninth-level cultivation level in their lifetime. If they could do better, they might have a chance to break through to the eighth-level cultivation level. However, That's already the limit, even under better circumstances.
So...it doesn't seem to make much sense whether he looks at it or not.
However, he is also quite self-aware. After all, most people would not think this way. It is estimated that many warriors who are not even qualified would think that they can make breakthroughs through observation.
As everyone knows, they may not even be able to understand it.
"In that case, forget it. Work hard and believe in yourself. One day, you will successfully enter the grade."
"Thank you."
Shen Cong thanked him and turned back to his small courtyard.
The admission process has passed, I just hope I can join the sect one day earlier.
When he returned home, he began to meditate with his eyes closed, and he was always in a state of cultivation.
It wasn't until dawn that he slowly opened his eyes.
His keen perception allowed him to sense that Ruan Hongyu next door had left the house.
There must be a lot of people watching the decisive battle between Wang and Zhong today. She probably wanted to go there early to find a good seat.
As soon as she left, Shen also started taking action from here.
He immediately disguised himself, then put on a new outfit, used his Fengshen legs, quickly came to the dock, picked up the wooden boat he had rented in advance, and headed straight to Luoshui Town.
The wooden boat going to Luoshui Town is actually going in the opposite direction. The direction of the water flow is from the direction of Luoshui to the Dazi River, and judging from the wind direction, it is also blowing from the direction of Luoshui to the Dazi River.
If you want the wooden boat to arrive smoothly, there is only one option, trackers pull the boat. If you want to go faster, you can only add more people to row the boat.
But this is not difficult for Shen Cong.
As a third-level powerhouse, he can collapse a forty- to fifty-meter-high building with just one kick, and a mere empty ship. Isn’t that a piece of cake?
He used a thick rope to pull the bow of the boat, and in the darkness, along the river, all the way up, and soon arrived at Luoshui Town.
At this time, the sky was already slightly brighter, but there were not that many people in Luoshui Town.
Many people have already gone to watch the duel. In addition, the Wang Family Courtyard is not located in the town, but in a huge open space outside the town, so Shen Cong can feel very at ease with his actions. It won't be noticed by too many people.
He hid the boat by the river and quickly came to Wang's house.
Looking at the doorway with two big red lanterns hanging from a distance, he took a deep breath.
"It's been two years and I'm finally back. This time, I want to get everything that belongs to me back with interest!"
The two members of the Wang family guarding the gate did not even see Shen Cong. They were still discussing excitedly that after today, the status of the Wang family in Dacheng County will definitely rise again.
Suddenly, two rays of light came, and their heads were pierced on the spot, and they fell to the ground with a thud.
Then, a figure like the wind quickly disappeared into the Wang family compound with lightning speed.
There were not too many sounds in the entire Wang family compound, and life passed quickly and quietly.
One after another, members of the Wang family fell, and some were even killed in their sleep.
Whether they were young adults, old, weak, women or children, Shen never spared anyone.
If you cut the grass but not the root, you will die sooner or later.
The Wang family does not deserve sympathy. Some women and children may not have harmed anyone outside, but their food, clothing, and supplies were all stolen from outside. While robbing these things, the Wang family directly or indirectly How many people must be killed?
Since you enjoy it, you have to bear the corresponding responsibilities.
