Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 293: Murong Xuan Wins, Please Hand Over Your Stakes, We’re Rich

Madness, absolute madness!

Chu Kuangren was out of his mind!

All the sky-prides looked at Chu Kuangren as he set outrageous betting sums with their respective Sect Leaders and could not help but feel dumbfounded by his action.

They did not dare to believe how Chu Kuangren would have the courage to do this?!

Of the twenty-fours sage orthodoxies present, a total of fifteen had set a ridiculously high amount of wager with Chu Kuangren!

Over half of the sage orthodoxies wanted to capitalize on this opportunity to beat down the Black Heaven Sect, or in other words, to beat down Chu Kuangren!

It was because Black Heaven Sect’s rise to power had made them feel threatened.

“My gosh, if Black Heaven Sect loses these bets, it would not only give them a headache, but it’ll be such heavy damage to them as well!”

“This is too insane. Chu Kuangren is too insane.”

“Where did he get this kind of confidence!”

At that moment, the Thirteenth Prefect, who was one of the judges, also came forth to Chu Kuangren and flashed him a polite smile. “I’d like to bet with Brother Chu as well.”

“Oh, even a judge like you wishes to gamble?”

“Heh, I’m betting a hundred thousand Top-tier soulstones on my personal behalf. Would you accept?” The Thirteenth Prefect smiled.

To him, there was no way Murong Xuan was going to win, and there was also no way that he was going to let go of this opportunity to get richer.

These one hundred Top-tier soulstones were almost the entirety of his wealth that he had accumulated all these years, but he knew he was going to win the bet!

He had seen the records about the Black Emperor Indestructible Exterior, so he knew how powerful this technique was and it would be impossible for Murong Xuan to beat it.

“Fine by me.”

Chu Kuangren nodded.

“Alright.” The Thirteenth Prefect returned to the judge’s booth with a look of delight on his face. However, the Eleventh and Twelfth Prefect did not seem too delighted at all as they stared at him.

“Thirteenth Prefect, as a judge, how can you do such a thing? Are you not worried that other people would criticize you for your reckless behavior?”

The Eleventh Prefect said.

“No big deal. I placed the bet in my own name. That way, it has no conflict of interest with my duty as a judge.”

The two prefects frowned as they did not know how else to say it.

Everyone was watching the battle in the arena.

This battle was no longer just about Murong Xuan and Li Yin but the outrageous gamble from a dozen or more orthodoxies too!

Fortunately, the two were so focused on the battle that they had no knowledge of the wager that was placed on them. Otherwise, they would surely be scared out of their wits.

In the skybox.

Compared to Chu Kuangren’s calm and collected manner, Qin Wushuang, Jun Yi and the rest of the crew appeared much more anxious as they transfixed their gaze dead at the arena.

“Murong Xuan, oh Murong Xuan, you have got to win this.”

Jun Yi even had her hands together as if she was praying.

Chu Kuangren mocked her, “Do you need to be this nervous?”

“My dear Sect Leader, do you have any idea how much stuff you’ve placed in your bets with those orthodoxies? Descendant Self Sword, Godly Phoenix, Illusive Mirage, Sage Techniques, and in Top-tier soulstones alone there are two billions of them!”

Jun Yi stuck out her two fingers and said. She dared not imagine what kind of chaotic mess would the Black Heaven Sect be thrown into if they were to lose.

“It’s just two billion.”

“Just two billion…”

Jun Yi and a few others stared at Chu Kuangren with their eyes wide.

Just?

The mere mention of this number alone was enough to make their legs tremble. How could this Sect Leader of theirs remain so nonchalant as if he was not concerned at all?

Should they be amazed at the boldness of their Sect Leader?

The few of them helplessly exchanged glances with each other. All they could do was pray that Murong Xuan could hold up on his own and emerge as the victor of this battle.

Not far away, the great lords and leaders of various sects who had placed their bets with Chu Kuangren were engrossed in their own discussions. Linghu Clan Head said to the Daoist School of Dedication’s Leader, “Brother, Li Yin is a disciple of your own. Do you think he can win it?”

“Definitely!”

The Daoist School of Dedication’s Leader laughed and said, “The Black Emperor Indestructible Exterior is a very terrifying Sage Ruler Technique. Once cast, even those who are a realm higher than Li Yin would not be able to break it!”

“That’s right.”

Sky Emperor Palace’s Lord nodded as well. “I’ve seen records about this Sage Ruler Technique in the ancient archives. With Murong Xuan’s current cultivation base, or even if he was a realm higher, he still would not be able to break this Black Emperor Indestructible Exterior!”

This was the reason why he dared to bet against Chu Kuangren.

Only upon hearing both their explanations did remaining Sect Leaders and Lords feel relieved.

“If that’s the case, then the Black Heaven Sect will deal a heavy blow this time.”

“Haha, I can’t wait to see how miserable this little brat Chu Kuangren will look.”

“An unbending tree is easily broken. Chu Kuangren is no doubt a peerless sky-pride, but it’s a shame that he’s too hasty and reckless in his actions. It’s about time he received some setbacks for his behavior.”

“Exactly.”

In the arena.

Murong Xuan was engaged in a fierce battle with Li Yin.

With his Black Emperor Indestructible Exterior, Li Yin was able to block off all of Murong Xuan’s sword qi that attacked the surface of his body, and they did no harm to him at all.

Conversely, each one of his attacks required Murong Xuan’s full strength to fend off, so Li Yin was gaining the upper hand over Murong Xuan instead.

“Haha, what happened to that arrogance and confidence of yours?!”

“Didn’t you say that you’re going to beat me? But why is fending off a few of my punches taking so much effort from you? Where’s your sword qi? Come on, keep using them!”

Li Yin laughed out loud as he continued to throw out his punches.

On the other hand, Murong Xuan looked like he was struggling. However, on closer look, one could tell from his transfixed gaze that he was actually still very composed.

“Just die already!”

Li Yin blasted out a punch and Daoist Rhymes instantly erupted like torrential waters, blasting Murong Xuan several hundred meters away.

Although Murong Xuan spat out some blood, he remained firmly in his stance.

“Let’s see how long you can endure this!”

Then, Li Yin decided to use his strongest attack.

As soon as he raised his arms into the air, the spiritual qi from his surroundings began to amass in the middle of his palms, slowly forming a pitch-black spear. From it emanated a Daoist Rhyme which was filled with destructive energy, and it was extremely appalling.

“Black Cosmos Godly Spear!!”

Li Yin yelled. This was an attacking technique that complemented the Black Emperor Indestructible Exterior, and it was also the strongest killing move that Li Yin had, which he seldom used.

Despite that, a smile began to etch out on the beaten-up Murong Xuan’s face.

“I’ve been waiting for this move of yours!” In a flash, Murong Xuan’s figure dodged the attack before he took one big step and cast a type of extremely speedy physical technique. In the blink of an eye, he had leaped several hundred meters forward, where he raised his arm and slashed down at Li Yin’s lateral chest.

With a loud clang, a spark burst out!

Under the sword strike, the originally intrepid Black Emperor Indestructible Technique now showed cracks, and it only took a second before it collapsed!!

Even Li Yin’s strongest killing move that he prepared had been deflected as a result of his damaged Black Emperor Indestructible Exterior, and he failed to materialize the move.

In just a moment, the tide of the battle was turned around!

“It’s you who will fall!”

Murong Xuan slashed out his sword, enveloping Li Yin in his majestic sword qi. Due to the loss of his Black Emperor Indestructible Exterior, Li Yin was heavily injured.

After just one sword strike, Li Yin was rendered nearly lifeless on the ground and could not pick himself up again.

He looked at Murong Xuan in utter disbelief. “How… how did you spot my weakness?!”

“I have no idea, but someone informed me about it.”

Murong Xuan flashed him a smile.

This person that he mentioned was, of course, Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren had already provided Murong Xuan and his crew detailed information about each of the sky-prides present. Among these, of course, included Li Yin’s weakness.

Murong Xuan might have looked like he was on the losing side, but everything was well within his calculations. He was merely waiting for Li Yin to reveal his vulnerability before delivering the critical blow!

“No way, how is it possible for the Black Emperor Indestructible Exterior to have any weakness!!” Sky Emperor Palace Lord protested loudly.

The Daoist School of Dedication’s Leader’s face was filled with shock too.

“Heh, the complete version of the Black Emperor Indestructible Exterior would surely have no weakness, but the one Li Yin cultivates is the incomplete version. So when he’s using the Black Cosmos Godly Spear, this weakness would show itself.”

Only then did Chu Kuangren explain to them calmly.

After that, he glanced at Sky Emperor Palace’s Lord and the rest of them as his lips curled into a soft smile. “My friends, please hand over your betting stakes.”

Behind him, Qin Wushuang, Jun Yi, and the remaining Daoists were also staring at Sky Emperor Palace Lord, Linghu Clan Head, and the others with glittering eyes.

At this moment, there was only one thought in their minds…

They were rich!
