The others didn't know what the hell the Life Continuing Pill was, but it was actually worth so much money. They all rubbed their eyes, preparing to see the true face of the Life Continuing Pill after Ghost Hand won so that they could brag to others in the future.
It was clear that the majority of the people still believed in Ghost Hand's gambling skills. They believed that this Gambling God who had suddenly appeared must be bluffing and would definitely lose.
Ghost Hand signaled the beautiful dealer with his eyes, allowing her to deal the cards. The others surrounded the gambling table, admiring this unique gambling game.
Just at this moment, a person quickly walked into the gambling hall and loudly shouted: "Tang Zheng, you sure have guts, daring to come to the Ordinary Balance Courtyard to cause trouble!"
The crowd was fiercely split apart as the people surrounding the gambling table staggered back, revealing a path. A person walked in with the vigor of a tiger.
Many people angrily glared at him, wanting to scold him, but when they met his eyes, their hearts trembled and they swallowed the words that were about to come out of their mouths.
Seeing this person, Tang Zheng's pupils couldn't help but shrink. His gaze became sharp as he expressionlessly looked at the other person and asked: "Qin Lao, it's really been a long time. Why didn't you stay in Beijing? What did you come to the Ordinary Balance Courtyard for?"
This person was Song Yu's bodyguard. Back then, the two of them had met for the first time in the Ordinary Balance Courtyard. At that time, Tang Zheng was quite afraid of him.
≧ ≧,
But things were different now. Tang Zheng no longer needed to be afraid of the other person.
Qin Lao heard Tang Zheng's question and said with an unkind expression: "I can come and go as I please. Do I need to tell you what to do?"
Actually, when Qin Lao saw Tang Zheng again, his heart was filled with anger and regret. If he had hardened his heart back then and directly killed Tang Zheng, then he wouldn't have created such a strong enemy for the Song family.
However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. As he watched Tang Zheng grow stronger step by step, he felt powerless. He deeply felt a sense of powerlessness.
As a person who thought highly of himself, he could accept being weaker than the members of the several great families. However, he couldn't bear to see Tang Zheng become stronger. This was because he had looked down on Tang Zheng from the very beginning.
Of course, Tang Zheng could tell that the other party was looking down on him, but he didn't care and said, "You don't need to tell me, but Ordinary Balance is my hometown. If the Song family dares to stir up trouble here, I definitely won't stand by and watch."
A murderous glint flashed in Qin Lao's eyes. This time, he was not here for a vacation. He was here with a mission.
The Song family really regarded Tang Zheng as a threat, so they began to research strategies to deal with Tang Zheng. After some discussion, they finally decided to start with Tang Zheng's headquarters, Ordinary Balance. Hadn't the underground forces in Tang Zheng's hands been wiped out? Then, they would take advantage of this period of vacuum to occupy the underground world of Ordinary Balance. From there, they could use this underground force to attack Tang Zheng when necessary.
Of course, this wasn't a complicated matter, and it wasn't a big deal. Therefore, the Song family only sent Elder Qin as a representative.
A few days ago, they had contacted the underground forces in the surrounding counties and cities and were prepared to take action after the Spring Festival. Of course, these underground forces were flattered and treated Qin Lao as a distinguished guest.
Usually, they would not have the opportunity to get in touch with the famous Song family. Of course, they would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They had been waiting for Qin Lao to give the order. Then, the army would come and occupy the underground world of Ordinary Balance.
Although the underground forces of the nearby counties and cities had heard of the power of Chang Heng City's extraordinary underground forces, they were still swept away by the authorities in the end. Therefore, their original trace of fear disappeared like smoke in thin air.
However, Qin Lao never expected to see Tang Zheng in Ordinary Balance's courtyard on the first day of the Spring Festival. He did not believe that Tang Zheng came with bad intentions. He did not believe that Tang Zheng came just to win a few rounds of gambling. Therefore, when he found Tang Zheng's figure in the surveillance and Ghost Hand wanted to bet with him, he could not wait to rush over. No matter what Tang Zheng's purpose was, he would not let Tang Zheng succeed.
Hearing Tang Zheng's threat, Qin Lao held back his killing intent. However, the others were stunned. Just who was this person? He actually dared to go against the Song family's people.
Some well-informed people immediately remembered that Ordinary Balance had caused a huge uproar and instantly guessed Tang Zheng's identity. Those who originally had a doubtful attitude could not help but somewhat believe it. Perhaps, this young man called Tang Zheng really did have outstanding ability. That was why he dared to go against the Song family and cause such a huge disturbance.
"Tang Zheng, I don't care what you do in other places. If you dare to cause trouble in Ordinary Balance's courtyard, then don't blame me for being impolite."
"Hehe, Ordinary Balance's courtyard is open for guests. Is this how you treat your guests? If you really have something to say, then it won't be too late to say it after I finish betting with Ghost Hand. "Tang Zheng said.
Qin Lao immediately looked at Ghost Hand and scolded, "Who told you to bet with him?"
"I …" Ghost Hand was speechless. He did not know who this young man was to actually make the usually aloof Qin Lao so afraid.
"You're not allowed to bet anymore!" Qin Lao said without any trace of politeness.
Although Ghost Hand was a gambling expert, his position in the Song family was far from being on par with Qin Lao. Hearing him say this, he did not dare disobey and nodded, "Yes, Qin Lao!"
Tang Zheng coldly watched from the sidelines. How could he let Qin Lao disrupt his plans? He sneered, "Qin Lao, you really have a lot of face. Just because you say you won't bet, you won't bet? Who do you think you are? Since you agreed to bet with me, then you can only finish the bet. "
Tang Zheng's unprecedented unyielding attitude caused Qin Lao to fly into a rage. He fiercely glared at Ghost Hand and asked, "What is your bet?"
"A Life Continuing Pill." Ghost Hand nervously said.
When Qin Lao heard the name Life Continuing Pill, his eyes lit up with joy. He was already at the end of his life. If he could obtain a Life Continuing Pill, then his future cultivation would definitely be able to reach the next level. Although the Song family had obtained two Life Continuing Pills at the auction, where would he get a share?
So when he heard the three words Life Continuing Pill, he could not help but feel a surge of emotion and let his imagination run wild.
But before he could be happy for too long, he saw Tang Zheng point to the roof and add, "There is also this Ordinary Balance Courtyard."
"What, Ordinary Balance Courtyard?" Qin Lao's heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale with fright, "Ghost Hand, who gave you the right to use the Ordinary Balance Courtyard as a bet?"
"I … … I … …" Ghost Hand's face was deathly pale as he stammered, unable to say a single word.
"Ghost Hand cannot make this decision, so this bet is invalid and does not count." Qin Lao firmly said.
Tang Zheng revealed a smile that was not a smile and said, "Since he agreed to my bet, it won't be that easy to give up halfway."
"If he doesn't want to bet with you, then I want to see what you can do."
Tang Zheng's eyes turned cold as he gave Lin Hu a meaningful glance. Lin Hu tacitly understood and grabbed Ghost Hand. He pressed him onto the gambling table and said, "If you don't want to bet, then don't bet. Who do you think you are?"
Ghost Hand's gambling skills were very good, but he did not have any skills. He was so scared that he trembled and looked towards Qin Lao for help.
Qin Lao flew into a rage and said, "Tang Zheng, you dare to touch a Song family member? You are courting death!"
After saying this, he stepped forward like a fierce tiger and grabbed at Lin Hu.
Wa!
Immediately, cries of alarm rang out as everyone retreated three steps back. However, there was not the slightest trace of fear between their brows. Instead, their eyes burned with passion. This kind of excitement was not easy to see. On the first day of the New Year, there were many good shows appearing one after another. It was truly wonderful.
Seeing that Qin Lao was about to grab Lin Hu, Lin Hu did not have the slightest bit of resistance in front of him. However, Lin Hu did not have the slightest bit of fear, nor did he retreat. Instead, he grabbed Ghost Hand even tighter.
Peng!
A hand appeared in front of Lin Hu, blocking Qin Lao's attack. With a muffled sound, Qin Lao staggered backwards, knocking into several guards before stopping. He was battered and exhausted.
The air froze for a few seconds. No one dared to breathe too loudly as they watched this scene in disbelief.
With just one move, Tang Zheng forced his opponent to retreat. As a result, the winner was immediately decided.
Old Man Qin's face turned the color of a pig's liver as he looked at the ridicule in everyone's eyes. He felt as if he was about to go crazy. With a low roar, he charged towards Tang Zheng like a wild beast.
A sharp light flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes. Seeing that Qin Lao was about to close in, his figure flashed and dodged the opponent's attack. Then, he grabbed Qin Lao's collar and pressed him against the gambling table. A cold light flashed in his hand and a dagger appeared. With a fierce stab, the back of Qin Lao's hand was nailed to the gambling table. Blood flowed and dyed the gambling table red.
These few moves were clean and neat. It was so handsome that many women in the crowd had their eyes lit up. They exclaimed softly, "Wow, so handsome, so manly."
The men were shocked by Tang Zheng's decisive killing move. They were speechless for a long time.
Qin Lao unconsciously let out a scream. His forehead was covered in cold sweat as he angrily roared, "Tang Zheng, you dare to touch me?"
"Hehe, I even dared to kill the Chu Clan's Patriarch, let alone a small character like you. Do you think that if I really kill you, what can the Song family do to me?" Tang Zheng disdainfully said.
Qin Lao's heartstrings trembled. Only now did he remember Tang Zheng's actions. He was no longer the small character he was before. Instead, he was a decisive and ruthless person. Just like Tang Zheng said, even if he killed Qin Lao, what could the Song family do to him?
Immediately, he felt a strong sense of fear. He struggled with all his might, wanting to escape from Tang Zheng's hands. However, Tang Zheng pointed at his body and his acupuncture points were immediately sealed. He was unable to move.
Blood quickly flowed out from the back of his hand and dyed the gambling table red. Ghost Hand was pressed onto the gambling table. He could only watch as the blood flowed towards his mouth like a small stream. He was so scared that he screamed. The beautiful dealer was so scared that her face lost all color. She fell to the ground.
Tang Zheng indicated for Lin Hu to let go of Ghost Hand and said, "Our gambling will continue. Now that we don't have this annoying fly interfering, we can gamble to our heart's content."
Ghost Hand trembled incessantly. His face was as white as paper. How could he still dare to gamble? He cowered and couldn't say a single word.
"Hehe, it seems like you guys want to rest. That's fine as long as you don't care about him dying from blood loss." Tang Zheng indifferently shrugged and calmly sat down.
