Chapter 98: North Star Knife
"I also participate."
When these four words were spit out from Lu Pingan's mouth, Tian He once thought he had auditory hallucinations.
"Brother Xian, this is too nonsense. If you don't react in time, don't you have to get in with your life?"
After a daze for a while, Tian He who came back to his senses quickly dissuaded him.
The axe on the guillotine weighs at least a thousand catties, and has great power when it falls. Once the gold wire rope for suspension is cut, the axe will fall in an instant.
Although with the speed and strength of the cultivator's body, it is not difficult to get rid of the shackles.
However, as the gambling proceeded, people's attention was slowly distracted, and it would be very difficult to react in time.
However, Lu Pingan looked indifferent, waved his hand and smiled: "Haha, it doesn't matter, it's not a big deal, it's not as thrilling to hunt spirit beasts deep in Daxu Mountain."
"But... what if they do something?"
Tian He still couldn't let go, "The people who hang the axe are all their own people."
"Don't worry about it."
Lu Pingan said in a self-confident voice, "Brother Tian, think about it carefully, this is not pushing Pai Gow or rolling dice, how can they have a thousand leeway?"
"This...oh, then you must be more careful."
Although Tian He had the heart to persuade him again, Lu Ping'an did make sense.
At best, Tao Shiqian knew which rope was hanging with the axe, but this way, it could only guarantee that the gambling game would not end within his turn.
And when the "right to cut the rope" was handed over to Lu Ping'an and Jiang Yuebai, he would suffer more psychological pressure instead, and it would not be beneficial in any way.
"Then you are the two who finally decided to participate, right?" The old croupier finally confirmed and asked.
"Yes."
Jiang Yuebai nodded slightly, and at the same time glanced at Lu Ping'an strangely.
She couldn't figure out why Lu Pingan had to participate in the gambling. Before coming here, the latter had an attitude of never participating.
Lu Ping'an also nodded, but focused on the axe, completely ignoring the look in Jiang Yuebai's eyes.
"Get ready."
Tao Shiqian gave the old croupier a sentence, and then made a please gesture to Lu Pingan and the others, "Two of you come with me. In addition, if you think I will collude with my subordinates, you can stay with another guest who does not participate. Supervise them."
"Okay, please come to Brother Tian."
Although theoretically, this gambling game didn't make any sense, Lu Ping'an still let Tian He stay in the court to supervise.
"Don't worry, I will never let them do anything."
Tian He assuredly patted his chest hard.
He almost killed Lu Ping An and himself yesterday. This time, he will never lose the chain again!
"please."
In this way, under the guidance of Tao Shiqian, Lu Pingan and Jiang Yuebai followed him to an empty room on the side of the hall to avoid them.
Waiting for the guards to hang the axe.
"Hey, can you do it?"
Jiang Yuebai pulled Lu Ping'an to the corner of the room and frowned and asked in a low voice.
She knows very well that this gambling game called "the front line of life and death", although on the face of it, is a competition for gamblers' courage and psychological endurance.
But in fact, to put it bluntly, who is more concentrated than whose attention is, and whose reaction speed is faster.
And Lu Ping'an is currently injured, and the gambling has not even started, he has a lot of disadvantages.
"Hey, how can a man say that he can't do it? Tell you, I'll win this bet."
Lu Ping'an was not nervous at all, and he replied with a smile on his face, as if he didn't pay attention to this tricky game at all.
"Hmph, you better not die on it. My clothes are not easy to wash."
Seeing that her concern had become unnecessary, Jiang Yuebai hummed slightly.
She didn't know what medicine Lu Pingan bought in the gourd, but compared to these, whether she could win the blood dragon pill was the most important thing.
So she stopped asking more questions, closed her eyes and calmed down.
On the other hand, Tao Shiqian was in the same state as Lu Ping'an, without a trace of tension on his face.
But he knew that even if the other party's composure was not pretended, he was definitely not as indifferent on the surface.
And myself is different.
Because when the gambling project was selected, he was already invincible.
Crunch...
About half of the time passed, the old dealer opened the door and said, "Master Tao Shi, you can come out."
Seeing the three return to the court, Tian He walked closer with a serious expression.
Lu Ping'an still walked briskly, with a relaxed expression, not caring about the result of Tian He's supervision.
Instead, Jiang Yuebai asked very closely: "How is it?"
"How should I put it...With my eyesight, I found no problems." Tian He replied in a tangled voice.
As the saying goes, sometimes it’s okay, but it’s often the biggest problem.
The more the other party behaved fair and just, the more he was suspicious, there was an ulterior nuance in it.
"Two, before the game starts, please put out your bets."
At this time, Tao Shiqian, who had already walked under the guillotine first, put on the shackles and said.
Cang!
"Is this ok?"
With a wave of Jiang Yuebai's long sleeves, he summoned a strange-shaped scabbard from the storage bag, controlled it with aura, and placed it on the ground.
"Oh?"
Tao Shiqian frowned slightly, winked at the old croupier, and made him look forward.
"Girl, you bet on a scabbard, it's too..."
The old croupier shook his head, with a hint of disgust on his face, and walked towards the scabbard standing on the floor.
But when he was halfway through, the whole person stopped and opened his mouth in surprise.
It turned out that this was not an ordinary scabbard without a blade.
After approaching, you can see that the mouth of the scabbard is sealed. The material is not metal, but it is carved from a slightly transparent, dark brown jade.
Inside the enclosed scabbard, you can vaguely see a pocket-sized Tang knife.
Although the blade was immersed in a strange liquid that was as viscous as pine resin, it rushed out of the scabbard and rushed toward the door if there was a real chill and sternness.
Based on the knowledge and experience accumulated over the years of working in Jinkoutai, the old dealer is convinced that this must be a treasure of extremely high grade, and it is not inferior to the treasure in the gambling reward table!
"This knife is called the North Star Blade, and it is made by Wannian Xuanbing collected from the highest snow peak in Baize Country, and its grade is determined by the swordsmith as the top grade of the mysterious rank."
Jiang Yuebai explained in due course.
"Damn! Mysterious rank top grade?"
When Lu Pingan heard this, his jaw was about to be dislocated, and he hurriedly tugged Jiang Yuebai's sleeve and whispered, "Hey, are you paying too much money?"
Although he was mentally prepared, he knew that Jiang Yuebai would come up with a good bet when he arrived.
But he never expected that this woman would be so lavish, squeezing a high-grade mysterious sword on it, without even blinking her eyelids.
Indeed, the North Star Knife is Jiang Yuebai's thing, and others can deal with it whatever they like, but Lu Ping'an still couldn't help but feel a pain.
And more importantly, if Jiang Yuebai used this North Star Blade to bet, wouldn't he also have to come up with something of similar value?
Until now, Lu Pingan realized the seriousness of this problem.
Calculating carefully, the most advanced magic weapon he currently possesses is the two flying swords that Jiang Yuebai gave away.
Naturally, the pair of flying swords could not be pushed out in front of Jiang Yuebai, and he couldn't bear it any more.
"Haha, good sword! Presumably this girl must be from a big family with a lot of background."
Lu Ping'an was thinking about what to bet, and the old croupier's voice followed, "This son, what are you going to bet on?"
"amount……"
When Lu Ping heard this, his forehead couldn't help but the expression on his face became stiff.
But he still pretended to be rummaging in the storage bag.
In a short while, the floor was filled with various magical weapons and weapons, large and small, long and short, with different ranks.
However, although there are a lot of them, in terms of value, when these things are added together, it is estimated that none of them can match the corner of Jiang Yuebai's North Star Knife.
On the other hand, seeing these inferior magical items below the middle yellow rank, the corners of the old croupier's mouth could not help but twitch.
These broken coppers are not to be said as a bet against Tao Shi-sama. Even if they play ordinary games downstairs, they cannot withstand a few losses.
If it hadn't been for the reason that he was the companion of the girl in white, the old croupier had already let the field guards beat him out with a stick.
"Oh, shameful."
Seeing this, Tao Shiqian suddenly sneered, and secretly laughed.
He originally thought that Lu Ping'an had a good appearance, and he was a calm general before the start of the gambling game. He should have some background.
I never thought that the other party was just a lip service, but in fact it was an extremely poor ghost, which really made him look forward to it in vain.
"Ahem, this girl, if you want the attendants to participate, I think it's fine." Tao Shiqian coughed lightly, "If he voluntarily dedicates himself to you, his head is smashed by an axe. Isn't it safe to lose?"
Although Tao Shiqian's remarks were mainly for mockery, he felt that this possibility was not at all impossible.
After all, Jiang Yuebai was born as beautiful as a monster, and there are still many seeds of infatuation in this world.
"Fuck, who do you say is the attendant? Brother Xian, take out your admission certificate from Jixia Academy!"
Hearing these remarks, Tian He couldn't help but utter a **** before Lu Ping An could express his opinions.
Although the Baishi clan enjoys the status of a prince in Cangwu, Lu Pingan is also a disciple of Dangjixia Academy.
Tao Shiqian, who is working as Feiying and Gouying, has any right to look down on his brother?
"Calm down, Brother Tian, why do you get angry with such a blind eye?"
Lu Ping'an was also a little annoyed at Tao Shiqian's underestimation, and said without evasiveness to appease Tian Heshi.
It is true that he does not have any decent magical weapons on his body, and even these "scrap copper and rotten iron" in the eyes of the other party, he has paid little by little.
But in Tianyuan Continent, the standard for measuring a person's life value and success is by no means the level of family background or the number of treasures and magical instruments.
He is going to teach Tao Shiqian a lesson today!
