At this moment, Tang Zheng's aura was like a rainbow. Many people didn't dare to look at him directly, but Feng Yong was excited. He looked at Tang Zheng with eyes full of worship. He thought to himself that if he could be this handsome one day, he would have no regrets in life.
Ghost Hand finally overcame the fear in his heart and urged, "Then let's hurry up and gamble."
He was deeply afraid that Qin Lao would die from excessive blood loss because of him. If that happened, he would be blamed. The Song family would definitely hold him responsible.
The young man in front of him was clearly here to cause trouble. Since he wasn't even afraid of the Song family, what else could he say? He could only use all his skills to gamble on this round.
However, his confidence was no longer as strong as before. He was worried about his gains and losses.
Tang Zheng squinted his eyes and smiled. He said to the dealer sitting on the ground, "Beauty, it's your turn to deal the cards. Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person."
The dealer was about to cry. You're not a bad person? You pierced someone's palm with a knife and you're not a bad person.
She was scared to death. With great difficulty, she restrained her weakness and stood trembling in front of the gambling table. However, when she saw the red blood that stained half of the gambling table, she almost fainted.
"Deal the cards." Tang Zheng said.
This time, it was a bet between two people. There was no need to add additional stakes. All five cards were dealt at once. The gambling table in front of Tang Zheng and Ghost Hand was dyed red with blood. The dealer looked at Tang Zheng inquiringly. Should the cards be dealt like this? That way, the cards would be stained with blood.
Seeing that Tang Zheng didn't respond, the dealer could only muster up the courage to deal the cards to the bloodstained area. However, when the cards were about to land on the gambling table, the blood on the gambling table seemed to have a life of its own. It automatically flowed in all directions, leaving a clean spot. Not a trace of blood stained the cards.
When everyone saw this magical scene, they were amazed. They didn't know how Tang Zheng did it.
However, Ghost Hand's cards didn't have such preferential treatment. They were directly dealt into a pool of blood, which made the corner of Ghost Hand's mouth twitch.
After the five cards were dealt, the faces of the two were very strange. The Ghost Hand table had 10 of Spades, J, Q, and K, which had a straight flush. On the other hand, Tang Zheng's cards were much smaller and very messy, with 2 of Spades, 3 of Spades, 7 of Spades, and 9 of Spades, but there was also a possibility of a flush.
Everyone else stared at their cards with their eyes wide open. It was as if they wanted to use X-ray vision to see through their cards. This kind of card was too interesting. There were many possibilities.
Netherclaw resisted the urge to vomit and picked up a corner of his trump card from the pool of blood. The others also wanted to take a closer look, but Netherclaw blocked their line of sight, making it impossible for them to see.
Tang Zheng also looked at Netherclaw with interest. Since this person's gambling skills were so exquisite, and he was called Netherclaw, then he must have a thousand techniques that had reached perfection. Otherwise, unless it was someone like Tang Zheng who knew magic, how could others get whatever cards they wanted?
Tang Zheng had never seen anyone cheat, but when he thought about it, it was nothing more than two fast hands, changing cards before anyone noticed.
Therefore, Tang Zheng specially stared at Netherclaw, wanting to see some clues.
As expected, the moment Netherclaw raised his card, a card slipped out from his sleeve. With a light hook of his finger, the card on the table slipped into his sleeve. All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to notice it at all. Only an expert like Tang Zheng could see through it.
He smiled proudly in his heart. As expected of Netherclaw, he was as hard to detect as a ghost. However, he didn't expose him. In front of him, all kinds of techniques were useless.
Netherclaw successfully changed his card, and seeing that Tang Zheng didn't have any reaction, he secretly let out a sigh of relief. The card change was successful, and the card in his hand was the Ace of Spades. Like this, it was a straight flush. Even if Tang Zheng also had a Ace of Spades, it would be enough to beat him.
The moment he changed his card, Tang Zheng saw that his trump card had changed to the Ace of Spades, so he also knew his trump card. Even so, he sat steadily on Mount Tai, not showing the slightest bit of abnormality.
"Ordinary Balance's courtyard is safe." Netherclaw silently said in his heart, "This person is still lacking. My title of Netherclaw is not for nothing."
Tang Zheng looked at Netherclaw without batting an eyelid, and said: "You're so confident. It seems like you got a good set of cards?"
Netherclaw reservedly said: "It's okay."
Hearing him say this, the others all guessed the clues, and began to whisper to each other.
"Netherclaw's card can't be a straight flush right?"
"It's very possible, otherwise how could he be so confident."
"Then that means Tang Zheng will definitely lose. Then everyone can see what the Life Continuing Pill is like."
"Don't say anymore. Look, they're about to reveal their cards."
Tang Zheng didn't look at his own card, but only calmly looked at Netherclaw, and said: "Since you're so confident, then let's reveal our cards together and reveal the answer. How about it?"
"Okay!" Netherclaw's confidence increased a bit. The two of them grabbed their cards at the same time and flipped them over, fiercely slamming the two cards on the table.
Pa pa!
With two soft sounds, Netherclaw's cards fell into a pool of blood, splashing out a few blood stains. But Tang Zheng's cards still fell, and the blood on the table automatically retreated without the slightest trace of stain.
Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at the two cards, and cries of alarm rang out: "Wa, how could it be this kind of card?"
Qin Lao not only stared at Netherclaw, he also stared at Tang Zheng, wanting to see if he cheated. But he saw that Netherclaw cheated, but he didn't see any sign of Tang Zheng breaking the rules. This was because, from beginning to end, he only touched his cards when he flipped them over. At other times, his hands weren't on the table, so there was no chance for him to cheat.
But when he saw the cards on the table, Qin Lao was stunned, and his eyes almost fell out. What the hell was going on?
The cards were two aces, one spade, and one plum. But the spade was Tang Zheng's card, and the plum was Netherclaw's.
Netherclaw's face suddenly froze as he looked at the cards in disbelief. The plum was stained with blood, and was exceptionally dazzling.
He turned pale with fright and cried out crazily: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. My card was clearly the ace of spades, how could it become the ace of clubs?"
Tang Zheng looked at him with a smile and said: "Everyone here isn't blind. Can't you even tell the difference between a spade and a plum? Everyone take a look, who won and who lost? "
Without a doubt, of course it was Tang Zheng who won. The cards in his hand were a flush, and Netherclaw's cards were a straight. The flush was bigger than the straight, so of course he won.
"Wa, this is really exciting. No one would have thought that Tang Zheng's card would be the ace of spades. This victory was too close."
"Didn't Netherclaw always say that his card was the ace of spades? Why is it the ace of clubs? Could it be that his eyes are blurred and he mistook the plum for spades? "
"It's very possible. A loss is a loss, and a win is a win. Making such a ruckus, there's no elegance at all."
The crowd was discussing spiritedly, but even more people were looking at them expectantly. This was because if Tang Zheng won, then the Ordinary Balance Courtyard would change owners. But would Tang Zheng really get what he wanted?
Many people were still doubtful.
Netherclaw had already sat down on the ground, forgetting to shout. He stared dumbstruck at Tang Zheng, muttering to himself: "Impossible, impossible … …"
He had already cheated countless times, and had never failed. How could he have mistaken the plum for a spade? So it could only be that Tang Zheng's gambling skills were better than his, so he had switched cards.
Of course Tang Zheng didn't switch cards. A small illusion technique was enough to completely change both of their cards.
Netherclaw was grief-stricken, because he knew he was dead for sure. After losing the Ordinary Balance Courtyard, how could the Song family let him off?
Tang Zheng stood up, cupped his hands towards the crowd, and said: "Today, I thank everyone for being witnesses. From now on, the Ordinary Balance Courtyard will change its surname to Tang. I hope everyone will support me in the future."
"Tang Zheng, don't even think about it!" Qin Lao gnashed his teeth and said weakly.
Tang Zheng looked at him with ridicule and said: "Today is a joyous day. I don't want to kill anyone, so you better shut your mouth. Otherwise, next year's New Year's Day will be your death anniversary."
Qin Lao's heart trembled. He wanted to say a few more tough words, but he forcibly held them back. He already understood that Tang Zheng really dared to kill him. If he provoked him, he would be the one to suffer in the end. Moreover, his blood had been flowing non-stop, and his body had already become very weak. But he still fiercely glared at Netherclaw and said: "After losing the Ordinary Balance Courtyard, you can just wait to die!"
When Netherclaw heard this, his whole body trembled, and he completely collapsed. He crawled up from the ground in panic and screamed: "I don't want to die!" Then, he squeezed through the crowd and hurriedly fled outside. He fell at the entrance, but crawled back up. Without caring about his injuries, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Tang Zheng didn't pay attention to him. This was just a small character. The Song family wouldn't let him go, so why would he need to take action?
Tang Zheng waved his hand at the trembling guards. These guards acted as if they were facing a great enemy. In their hearts, Qin Lao was a celestial existence. But in front of Tang Zheng, Qin Lao was like a clay chicken that couldn't even withstand a single blow. They were even less of a match for him, so no one dared to do such a suicidal action.
"Take him and scram for me. From now on, if he dares to take a single step into the Ordinary Balance Courtyard, this will be his fate!" The moment his voice fell, Tang Zheng slammed his palm onto the gambling table, only to hear a 'kacha' sound as the gambling table shattered into pieces.
Almost everyone couldn't help but shiver, and an indescribable fear welled up in their hearts. At the same time, they firmly remembered Tang Zheng's face in their hearts. In the future, when they returned, they would definitely warn their friends and family not to provoke this guy called Tang Zheng in the Ordinary Balance Courtyard. Otherwise, they would really die very, very miserably.
"In addition, when you return, tell Song Yu, don't think that I don't know what he has done in secret. I will pay him back double." Tang Zheng added.
The guards hurriedly nodded, and as if they had been granted amnesty, they took the almost unconscious Qin Lao and left. Then, Tang Zheng arranged for Lin Hu and Fire Phoenix to take over the Ordinary Balance Courtyard. The two of them were no strangers to this kind of business, so they immediately took action. The guests also left one after another. Without a doubt, the Ordinary Balance Courtyard would soon spread the news that the Ordinary Balance Courtyard had changed owners.
