"Four at a time?!" Chou Qi frowned under his black cloak as he did not understand the intention of Fang Zhengzhi's condition.
However, for some reason, he had a vague feeling that there seemed to be a huge trap that he hadn't discovered yet.
Four …
Could it be that Fang Zhengzhi wanted to bet all his "treasures" on one battle, then have a battle royale and decide the winner in one battle?
That was highly possible as both the Human Alliance and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were not friendly. If Fang Zhengzhi really killed all four Godly State experts in one round, it would not matter even if he lost the next two rounds.
After all, it was better to ignore the "promise". If all the Godly State experts were dead, the threat would be gone. It would be a joke to talk about trust now.
No!
If that was Fang Zhengzhi's plan, his condition was to have five of them at a time so that he could kill all of them at one go.
Why were there four?
Chou Qi quickly calculated in his mind. Not two, not three, and not five, but there were only four. It was impossible to say that there was no "conspiracy" at all.
Was it a coincidence?
Chou Qi did not believe in such things.
Moreover, the real Chou Qi had died a long time ago. The current Chou Qi was none other than Nangong Mu, the only remaining descendant of the Nangong Nobles.
A person who understood Fang Zhengzhi like how he understood his elder brother.
Nangong Mu knew very well that although Fang Zhengzhi looked shameless and careless, he would definitely not be reckless when it came to serious matters.
There was definitely a problem with four of them.
Nangong Mu calculated quickly in his mind. If two of them had to fight at a time, his arrangement would be very simple. Two Godly State experts in a group, himself in addition to a Monster King.
He had a high chance of winning all three rounds.
What if there were three of them?
Three Godly State experts in a group, himself and another Godly State expert in addition to a Monster King. In that case, he had a high chance of winning two out of three rounds.
However, what about four?
Nangong Mu frowned again.
On the surface, four seemed to be easier to arrange, but in reality, the variables were much, much greater than two, three, and five.
There were too many changes.
It could be four Godly State Experts, plus Nangong Hao and three Monster Kings. Similarly, it could also be two plus two or three plus one.
"What's the problem?!" Nangong Mu initially thought that this battle would be very easy because he already had the upper hand.
Four Godly State experts, in addition to him and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race, with such terrifying power, it was impossible for there to be any accidents in this competition.
But …
Right now, he had fallen into a difficult situation.
And the reason for this was because Fang Zhengzhi had suggested a condition that seemed to be more beneficial to him. He had to send out four of them at once.
Strange, it was too strange.
"If there are four of them …" At this moment, Yun Qingwu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.
"So, you are also thinking about this problem?" After hearing Yun Qingwu's voice, Fang Zhengzhi turned around slowly and smiled.
"…" Yun Qingwu's mouth twitched. She looked at Fang Zhengzhi, then at Chou Qi and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race and shook her head. "Don't worry, I am prepared to be a captive."
"If I say that I don't mind you participating in the decision-making of this competition, would you believe me?" Fang Zhengzhi smiled even more. He definitely could not ignore Yun Qingwu.
However, just like what he said, he did not mind Yun Qingwu making the decision. In fact, he did not mind Yun Qingwu reminding Chou Qi about the arrangements.
"You don't mind?" Yun Qingwu was slightly stunned. Then, she smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, even if I say it, it would be useless."
"I mind. Shameless brat, do you want me to knock her out? Don't worry, leave this to me! " Although Ping Yang did not understand what Fang Zhengzhi was up to, she knew very well how terrifying Yun Qingwu was in terms of strategizing.
As the saying went, one had to kill everything in its cradle.
That was the case for Ping Yang.
After all, to Ping Yang, Yun Qingwu's intelligence was way too high. If Yun Qingwu really saw through Fang Zhengzhi's plan, it would be terrible.
That was what Ping Yang thought. It was better to be safe than sorry.
Therefore, she didn't mind knocking Yun Qingwu out again.
"…" Yun Qingwu's expression changed slightly. She wanted to say something but eventually shut her mouth. She did not say anything and did not show any signs of resistance.
"No need, if she wants to say it, she can say it. I've said that I don't mind." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
"Where did you get your confidence from?" Ping Yang had a confused look on her face when she heard this. The reason for that was because the situation before her was clearly one of certain death.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was so confident.
He even said that he was not afraid of Yun Qingwu revealing his plan. He was so confident that he was "insane" and nobody could look at him directly.
Apart from Ping Yang.
Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi and the disciples of the Human Alliance looked at each other and did not know where Fang Zhengzhi got his confidence from.
They had to send four people at a time, how could they survive if they did not die?
"Fang Zhengzhi, are you really confident?" Mu Qingfeng asked carefully even though he was feeling a little hopeless.
"Of course!" Fang Zhengzhi said with certainty.
"How confident are you? 30%? "
"No, 100%!"
"100%?!"
This time, not only did Mu Qingfeng's eyeballs almost pop out, even the Godly State experts and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race could not take it anymore.
"100% confident?!"
"This brat actually said that he was 100% confident? Did he mean 100% confident that he would lose? "
"What a joke!"
"He said that he was 100% confident that he had to send four people at a time, what a fool's dream!"
The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race laughed and looked at Fang Zhengzhi as though he was an idiot. After all, how could he be so confident in such a situation, if he was not an idiot, what else could he be?
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not care about the laughter of the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race as he was laughing even more brightly than them.
Then, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race stopped laughing.
That was because they realized that no one in the world could compete with Fang Zhengzhi in terms of the thickness of his skin.
"Chou Qi, let's begin. Who do you want to send to die in the first round?" Fang Zhengzhi asked Nangong Mu after he stopped laughing.
"You mean I want to send someone to fight first?" Nangong Mu, who had been frowning and in deep thought, raised his head again.
"Everyone here is a guest. We arrived first, so we should be the hosts. Since you are the guests, you should have the priority," said Fang Zhengzhi as he nodded.
"In terms of shamelessness, I am definitely not as good as you. However, you seem to have forgotten something. I have the initiative, what if I don't agree to choose first?" Nangong Mu shook his head.
"Then we can only decide by drawing lots," said Fang Zhengzhi helplessly.
"Drawing lots?"
"Yes, I will write two pieces of paper, one with 'first' and the other with 'second'. Whoever draws' first 'will be sent to fight. It is fair and impartial," said Fang Zhengzhi honestly.
"Alright, let's do as you said, draw lots." Nangong Mu fell silent for a moment and stared at Fang Zhengzhi's face. Eventually, he nodded his head.
Fang Zhengzhi smiled, and his smile became even more radiant.
Ping Yang also had a weird expression on her face when she heard this. However, that weird expression soon turned into a smile.
"What do you think this guy is up to?" Ping Yang quickly went in front of Yan Xiu and asked softly.
"I don't know." Yan Xiu shook his head.
"Hmph, you don't know?" Ping Yang obviously did not believe him. However, she did not continue asking. Instead, she turned to look at Wu Yuer and said, "Wu Yuer, why don't we make a bet?"
"How do you want to bet?" Wu Yuer walked out from behind the Heavenly Oasis Saint when she heard Ping Yang. She straightened her chest and walked in front of Ping Yang.
Ping Yang's face instantly turned black.
However, she endured it this time. She did not "point" at Wu Yuer's actions. Instead, she quickly moved her mouth to Wu Yuer's.
"You want to bet on this?" Wu Yuer asked after hearing what Ping Yang said.
"Yes, this. Just tell me if you dare to bet on it." Ping Yang said confidently.
"Why wouldn't I dare to bet on it?"
"Alright, my bet is … is … this Flaming Soft Armor that I'm wearing. This is Ling Yun Tower's treasure. How about it?" Ping Yang thought for a moment and pointed at the soft armor underneath her clothes.
"Flaming Soft Armor? I'm not interested in that. I only want 100,000 taels of gold. "Wu Yuer looked at the soft armor underneath Ping Yang's clothes and shook her head.
As the leader of the Shadow Sect, she naturally knew the value of the Flaming Soft Armor. It was a treasure that could not be described with money.
However, it was precisely because she knew.
Therefore, she knew that she would not be able to keep the Flaming Soft Armor even if she won against Ping Yang. That was because Ling Yun Tower's Qian Yu was not a pushover.
Based on Qian Yu's personality, she would never allow an outsider to obtain the soft armor.
Even if Ping Yang lost the bet.
In that case, she might as well ask for something more practical. After all, no matter how domineering Qian Yu was, she would not insist on taking back 100,000 taels of gold.
"100,000 taels of gold? You really don't know what's good for you. Alright, I'll bet 100,000 taels of gold. What do you want to bet? "Ping Yang said in disdain.
"I'll bet on the Falling Rain Pavilion in Flame Capital City." Wu Yuer said after thinking for a moment.
"Alright, if you lose, the Falling Rain Pavilion will belong to me, including the people inside!" Ping Yang did not care too much about Wu Yuer's bet. That was because she was interested in winning. In fact, she was only interested in winning against Wu Yuer. As for what she won, she did not care too much.
"Of course." Wu Yuer nodded her head and did not comment further.
Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi had written two pieces of paper and walked slowly to Nangong Mu. He opened his hands and placed one piece of paper on each of them for Nangong Mu to choose from.
Nangong Mu did not hesitate too much.
He stretched out his right hand and took the piece of paper from Fang Zhengzhi's right hand. The entire process seemed to be peaceful.
There was no problem at all.
However, when the piece of paper was in Nangong Mu's hand, something strange happened.
This was because Nangong Mu didn't even look at it. He directly put the piece of paper into his mouth and swallowed it with a 'gulp'.
"…"
"…"
At this moment, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race, the disciples of the Human Alliance, and even the proud Ping Li widened their eyes.
"He swallowed it?!"
"Chou Qi swallowed the piece of paper that he drew?!"
"What is he trying to do?"
"Oh no, don't tell me he …"
The disciples of the Human Alliance clearly could not react in time. However, their expressions soon changed and became extremely unpleasant.
Meanwhile, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race also reacted after being stunned for a while.
"Haha, I see!"
"Sir Chou Qi's move is indeed brilliant!"
"He who strikes first has the upper hand, Fang Zhengzhi is going to die now!"
The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race laughed and looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was stunned on the spot, with a mocking smile on their faces.
Meanwhile, Ping Yang was stunned on the spot.
That was because she and Wu Yuer had bet on the two pieces of paper that Fang Zhengzhi had written. After all, this suited Fang Zhengzhi's shameless personality.
Since both pieces of paper had the word "first" written on them, no matter which piece of paper Chou Qi drew, the outcome would be decided by Chou Qi first.
However, now …
Chou Qi swallowed the piece of paper.
What should he do?
"You lost." After swallowing the piece of paper, Nangong Mu took a small step back and gestured for Fang Zhengzhi to open the piece of paper in his hand.
"I didn't expect you to have such a hobby. Is the piece of paper … delicious?" After being stunned for a long while, Fang Zhengzhi finally regained his senses and looked at Chou Qi with a strange gaze.
"Open it." Nangong Mu did not answer Fang Zhengzhi's question.
"No need, you can read it yourself." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head and sighed. Then, he threw the piece of paper in his left hand to Nangong Mu.
Then, he turned and left.
Nangong Mu was slightly surprised when he saw Fang Zhengzhi turn and leave. However, he still opened the piece of paper in his hand quickly. His body froze the moment he opened the piece of paper.
