Although he did not know whether Wu Xiang's Master was an enlightened monk or not, Ding Ning's reasonable explanation left his Master with enough face, which made Wu Xiang feel like he had received a royal edict.
"So that's how it is. Gambling is also a kind of cultivation."
Wu Xiang suddenly realized and his eyes flashed with eagerness. It should not be a problem to make a bet. It could also be regarded as a kind of cultivation. Pudding pursed her lips.
Pudding pursed her lips on the side. Although she was not experienced in the world, she was not as naive as Wu Xiang. Obviously, she could tell that Ding Ning was fooling her.
But he also knew that Ding Ning did not have any malicious intentions. Besides, Wu Xiang was really too naive and simple. Letting him experience the cruelty of this world might be of great benefit to him in the future, so he was too lazy to expose Ding Ning's nonsense.
"How about it, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Ding Ning once again revealed his signature bewitching smile.
Wu Xiang was, after all, a young man. Although he was afraid of gambling, it was impossible to say that he was not a little curious about new things. In addition, Ding Ning's words had opened up the knot in his heart. He thought that since his Master could gamble, he could also give it a try. "Benefactor, tell me how to bet."
"I bet that these people will kill each other."
Ding Ning pointed to the people who were resisting and fleeing in all directions and said indifferently.
"Impossible."
Wu Xiang resolutely denied.
In his view, if the remaining martial artists huddled together and resisted stubbornly, perhaps they would all be killed by the Wolf Cavalry. But if it was said that they would kill each other, he absolutely would not believe it.
"So, we have two completely different views. The conditions for the establishment of the bet are here. Now, let's talk about the stakes."
Ding Ning smiled like a little fox who had stolen a chicken. "If these people don't kill each other as I said, I lose. At that time, you can raise any condition within my ability. If you lose, you have to agree to one of my conditions. Of course, this condition must not go against your conscience and morality. What do you think?" Ding Ning smiled like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.
"This … Okay, then it's a deal."
Wu Xiang gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement. He also clapped hands with Ding Ning to make an oath.
Lang Kui suddenly raised his scimitar high, and the wolf cavalry stopped their slaughter in unison. Lang Kui turned to the panicking warriors in the valley and loudly said, "The heavens have the virtue of cherishing life, and we do not wish to exterminate all of you. We will now give you a chance to live. I declare that the last five hundred people will let bygones be bygones, and will never cause any more trouble for you."
"Is what you said true?"
Those martial artists had already lost all hope in the slaughter of the Wolf Cavalry. Seeing that there was a chance to live, their eyes suddenly burst out with hope.
There were more than three thousand people who had participated in the siege against Ding Ning and the others. At this moment, more than half of them had been killed, and only about one thousand and five hundred people were left.
Surviving 500 meant that they had a one-third chance of survival. This was already a very high probability. In the face of the threat of death, no one could resist this temptation.
"Naturally, I will." Lang said "Kuang" Lang "Xiang" said solemnly.
After Lang Kui made a solemn vow, he waved his hand, and the Wolf Cavalry raised their crescent scimitars and continued their slaughter.
The surviving martial artists instantly went crazy. They did not have any confidence in dealing with the Wolf Cavalry, but as long as they killed the people around them, they would be saved if there were only five hundred people left.
In this life and death situation, they unanimously chose to kill the people closest to them. As long as they could reduce the number of people to less than five hundred, they would be saved.
A fierce battle was about to break out. The Wolf Cavalry only killed a few people and then immediately stopped killing. They coldly watched from the sidelines and began to watch the show.
"Senior Martial Brother, I am your Junior Martial Brother. How can you attack me?"
A man shouted at his Senior Martial Brother, his face filled with grief. As his Senior Martial Brother revealed a look of guilt, he suddenly stabbed his sword through his Senior Martial Brother's chest.
"Hahaha, uh, Martial Uncle … you …"
Unfortunately, the Junior Martial Brother was not happy for long. As he looked at his Senior Martial Brother who had died with his eyes wide open and laughed, a long and narrow sword cut his throat.
Martial Uncle's eyes were filled with grief. They were once brothers who loved each other, but in order to survive, they had no choice but to kill each other.
But if one does not look out for oneself, the heavens and earth will destroy them. He also did not want to die. The other martial artists were vigilant against strangers. It was not easy to kill them, so it was easier to sneak attack a family member that they knew well.
"Big Brother …"
"Brother …"
"Big Sister …"
"Little Sister …"
"Senior Martial Brother …"
"Master …"
"Junior Martial Sister, you …"
… …
The smell of blood was thick and the sound of mournful cries was endless. The ugliest side of human nature was being played out.
In order to survive, the brothers, sisters, masters, disciples, fellow apprentices, and even fellow apprentices, who were once very close to each other, had all turned into cold, venomous snakes. Everyone felt insecure and guarded against each other to prevent the people around them from suddenly attacking and taking away their lives.
Wu Xiang's face was pale and his eyes were filled with grief. He put his palms together and silently chanted Amitabha. He knew that for the first time in his life, he had lost the gamble. In terms of understanding human nature, he was far inferior to Ding Ning.
But suddenly there was endless anger in his heart. His bloodshot eyes stared at Ding Ning and asked, "You won, but for a gamble, is it worth it?"
"It's worth it!"
Ding Ning's lips curved up, revealing a touch of ridicule, "Of course it's worth it. I just want you to see what is human nature and what is human nature."
He pointed at the Magical Beast Heavenly Master, who was currently grinning maliciously as he slaughtered his way through the crowd. "This kind of person will never hide his evil, so people will naturally be on guard against him. So, even if a person like him does evil, there is a limit to what he can do.
He pointed to those martial artists who were hypocritically attacking his brothers, friends, and even relatives with fierce looks on their faces, "But such people hide their evil in the bottom of their hearts and never release it in front of others. Just like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, no one knows when they will come out and give you a fatal blow. Such people who are good at disguising themselves are the most terrifying."
Wu Xiang revealed a thoughtful expression, the anger on his face gradually fading as he fell into thought.
"Put away your pity and never sympathise with those who try to kill you. In this world, there is no absolute good, and there is no absolute evil. How you look at it, it is just a matter of the benevolent seeing benevolence and the wise seeing wisdom."
Ding Ning's eyes were wise and his voice was erratic, like the sound of Sanskrit ringing in Wu Xiang's ears.
Just as Wu Xiang was lost in thought, Ding Ning suddenly soared into the sky like a roc. In the air, he twisted his body in a strange manner and appeared at the entrance of the valley, stomping down hard with his foot.
Boom!
The ground suddenly cracked as if it had been bombarded by a heavy cannon. There was a muffled groan from the ground and a black figure suddenly shot out, heading straight for Ding Ning like lightning.
Ding Ning's body twisted strangely as he fought with the black figure. No one knew where the black figure came from, but it was unexpectedly evenly matched with Ding Ning. In a short period of time, it was impossible to determine the victor.
The Wolf Cavalry were shocked. They did not expect that someone would escape through the ground and almost escape from under their eyes. In anger and shame, they shouted and were about to raise their sabers to surround and kill him, but they heard Ding Ning shout, "Fall back, everyone, you are only allowed to enter but not to leave."
"Yes!"
The Wolf Cavalry responded in unison, holding the sabers at their waists tightly and looking around vigilantly, for fear that someone would take advantage of the chaos to escape.
In the encampment of the Descendants of God, Wind God's eyes were gloomy. He said to Rain God, who had a solemn look, "It seems that the boy has been watching us for a long time. He even discovered Fire God's Earth Escape. We still underestimated him."
"What should we do now? We can't just sit and wait for death, can we? "
Although Rain God wanted to tear Ding Ning into pieces, he also knew that it was not the time to be impulsive. He had to find a way to get out as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would definitely be caught by Ding Ning this time.
"There is no way. We can only unite with others to fight. Of course, it is best if the plan in Ninghai succeeds. With hostages in hand, we will have a guarantee of life."
Wind God said as if he was cutting off all means of retreat.
"Yes, I don't know how it is going over there. Why there is no news yet?"
Hearing this, Rain God became spirited and anxiously took out his mobile phone to see if there were any messages he had forgotten.
"That is the way out. Now the major forces must be like us, angry with that little bastard but dare not speak out. But in fact, they only have less than 3,000 Wolf Cavalry. If we unite, the number of people added up will be countless times greater than theirs. I am afraid that they will not dare to risk their lives."
Wind God analyzed the pros and cons and said with a headache.
Rain God's eyes flickered and he said coldly, "The only thing we can do now is to take the initiative and send people to the major forces to spread the rumor that the little bastard is going to catch all the forces and unify the martial arts world. Only in this way can we arouse the common hatred of the enemy and unite everyone."
"Good idea. I will immediately arrange people to spread the rumor. If we can make the major forces suspicious, we will have more than half of the success."
Wind God was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Wait, the point is that we must make it clear in the rumor that Ding Ning intends to divide and disintegrate and adopt the method of breaking them one by one to gradually weaken everyone's strength."
The Rain God stopped the Wind God and said thoughtfully.
Wind God's eyes brightened and he nodded approvingly. "Good idea. I am afraid that Ding Ning will be the first to attack our God descendants. If we can't point out the powerful relationship between them and let these forces stand with us, we will be in danger."
"Even if we unite, we must be selective. For example, the Vatican has always had an ambiguous relationship with that little bastard and is sworn to be enemies with our God descendants. I am afraid it will be difficult to win them over. Instead of wasting time on them, it is better to focus on the Dark Council, Fusang Sword God Palace, Long Family, Holy Medical Family, Holy-sword Villa, and Holy-goddess Tribe, who have conflicts with Ding Ning."
Rain God was quick-witted. He kept thinking and said, "Of course, in addition to those forces close to Ding Ning, we can't give up other forces, such as the small alliance led by Ice Bear Emperor, the Atlantis family, the Ghost Hunting Tribe, the European Martial Emperor, and the Alliance of Royals … These are all strong targets of the alliance."
"Okay, I understand. I will immediately arrange people to do it. I hope, Fire God can buy more time."
Wind God nodded again and again. He did not expect Rain God to have such wisdom. The plan was indeed much more perfect than he thought. He immediately arranged people to spread the rumor.
Soon, rumors spread in the Wulun Valley. The rumor that Ding Ning wanted to capture all the martial arts forces in the world and dominate the world by himself spread like wildfire.
In fact, this lie, which was full of loopholes, could not stand up to any scrutiny. There were indeed many higher-ups from various forces attending the Martial Artist Assembly, but each force only sent a representative. It was impossible for them to send all of them. It would be a huge joke if they could conquer the world by killing all the higher-ups present.
But who cared about the truth? Those forces who had a grudge against Ding Ning were eager to make the matter bigger. It would be best if it could arouse public anger and then unite all the martial arts forces in the world to completely eliminate this thorn in their eyes.
