"Hiss … …"
Murong Mansha sucked in a breath of cold air when she heard this sound, and then secretly looked out from between her fingers. Gui Gu Nansheng did not fall from the stage. One of his feet was already out, and the other was still on the stage. Lu Dongcai was motionless, holding the short sword with both hands, he raised it high and then froze.
"Hua … …"
The crowd was in an uproar, because the winner had been decided. No one thought that at the last moment, Gui Gu Nansheng's tail suddenly stretched out from his clothes and pierced Lu Dongcai's lower abdomen. It should have been Lu Dongcai's Crane Leg that kicked through his stomach, but it actually reversed at the last moment.
Well, this was the ultimate move of the owner of the Magic Scorpion Warbeast. Du Feng nodded, as if he had expected it. Although he had never fought against a Magic Scorpion, he had fought against a Green Poison Scorpion. He knew that the scorpion's most powerful weapon was its tail, because there was a poisonous hook on it. This poisonous hook not only contained poison, but it was also extremely sharp. The poisonous hook suddenly launched an attack, silent, and Lu Dongcai did not notice it at all. No matter how fast he was, he could not dodge it in this situation.
"Well done, Gui Gu Nansheng is mighty!"
"Amazing, I've won, hahaha … …"
Lu Dongcai's corpse did not fall to the ground, but turned into a pool of black water, smelling fishy. It had to be said that Gui Gu Nansheng's Magic Scorpion Venom was very powerful.
"Brother Du, your eyesight is still accurate. Sure enough, that Gui Gu Nansheng won."
"Yeah, we've all won, why didn't you bet?"
Yuan Cheng, Pi Weiwei, and Murong Mansha all made a lot of money. Du Yu 'er and Du Xue only bet a small amount, so they did not earn much. However, Du Feng knew that Gui Gu Nansheng would win, but he did not bet on him.
"Despicable villain, what kind of skill is sneak attack."
"That's right, that's right, don't you feel ashamed? What a hidden family, pfft pfft pfft … …"
There were people who were happy, and there were also people who were cursing. Everyone's mood was very high. The ones who were cursing were the audience who had lost money. They originally wanted to win from Lu Dongcai, but they did not expect this result. As a genius of a hidden family, he had to rely on a sneak attack to win. Wasn't he ashamed?
"Is that why?"
Yuan Cheng looked at Du Feng seriously. He wanted to know if Du Feng didn't want to bet because of this.
"The winner takes all. In a battle of life and death, there is no difference in methods. Don't think too much about it."
Du Feng shook his head and told Yuan Cheng not to worry too much. If it were him, he would have used up all his means at the critical moment.
"Next, the 497th contestant, Du Feng, challenges the 90th contestant, Guigu Nansheng."
Without even needing Du Feng to speak, the host had issued the challenge on his behalf. It seemed that the challenge fee paid by the Starry Moon Hall was not in vain. However, it didn't seem very honorable to issue a challenge when the other party had just finished fighting.
"I accept the challenge!"
As expected, with Gui Gu Nansheng's pride, he would definitely accept the challenge on the spot. If he waited until a month later, he would be laughed at by others for being a coward. Moreover, his previous victory over Lu Dongcai was not a glorious one. He was eager to prove his strength once again.
"Let's change it to tomorrow. You're tired."
Du Feng didn't want to take advantage of others. He knew that Gui Gu Nansheng didn't need a month to prepare, but he had to at least delay it until tomorrow. He had just finished a fierce match, and his True Essence consumption was definitely not light. In fact, even Gui Gu Nansheng himself didn't expect that he would have such a hard time fighting with Red Crane Sect's Lu Dongcai.
"No need, let's do it today."
If Gui Gu Nansheng agreed to change it to tomorrow, it would be equivalent to admitting that his strength was not good enough. He would never lose face.
"Alright, everyone, place your bets first."
Du Feng knew that it was useless to argue, so he agreed first. Even if the match started immediately, he still had to place his bet first. Don't look at how the audience scolded Gui Gu Nansheng just now. When it was time to place their bets, they were still willing to bet on him to win.
In the last match, everyone had already seen Gui Gu Nansheng's strength, especially his Magic Scorpion's tail which was used mysteriously. Some people knew that Du Feng was a dark horse, but some people didn't know him at all. A 497th contestant dared to challenge the 90th ranked contestant, wasn't that just looking for a beating?
"I bet 20,000 purple crystals, Gui Gu Nansheng wins!"
"I bet 50,000 purple crystals, Gui Gu Nansheng wins."
"I bet 70,000, I bet 100,000 … …"
The audience became lively again, and most of them bet on Gui Gu Nansheng to win.
"Old Xu, you just scolded Gui Gu Nansheng for being despicable and shameless, only knowing sneak attacks, why are you betting on him to win now?"
"Tch, you've already won money, why don't you let me win a round."
The person called Old Xu, although he didn't like Gui Gu Nansheng's approach, he valued his strength.
"That's right, who would have a grudge against money in this day and age."
The audience next to him patted Old Xu's shoulder and agreed with his approach. After the two discussed, they added some bets on Gui Gu Nansheng.
"You guys go and bet as well, don't worry and bet boldly."
In fact, even without Du Feng's instructions, Yuan Cheng, Pi Weiwei, Murong Mansha, Du Yu 'er, and the others would also bet boldly. Third Pi, who had not made a move or made a sound just now, directly bet everything he had. For the match between Gui Gu Nansheng and Lu Dongcai, he did not have much confidence. However, for the match between Du Feng and Du Feng, he had full confidence.
"Look, that's Third Pi, he bet on Du Feng to win again."
"Yeah, that old thing won a lot last time."
Some of the older residents of Star-Moon City in the audience noticed Third Pi, who was making a bet. Last time, because they did not bet with Third Pi, they lost a lot. At that time, they swore that they would bet on whoever Third Pi bet on next time, and they would absolutely not change their mind. However, in their excitement just now, they had already bet on Gui Gu Nansheng.
"What should we do, do you still have money?"
"I don't, what about you?"
After some discussion, the older residents of Star-Moon City finally managed to pool a sum of money and bet on Du Feng. Once again, they made the same mistake as last time, betting on two people. This way, no matter which side lost, they would lose a portion of their money. The odds for the two contestants were 1: 1.5. It seemed that the organizers favored Gui Gu Nansheng. This was also a way to guide the audience. However, the difference in the odds was not large. In other words, the difference in strength between the two contestants should not be too big.
"Weiwei, help me bet as well."
