The Strongest Devouring Upgrade

"Boy, although we are warm and hospitable, if you don't know how to promote, don't blame us for being rude."

Seeing Lu Pingan's two consecutive words of disrespect in front of the shopkeeper, the old croupier's old face also couldn't help showing a trace of anger.

While talking, I saw several field guards bullying him, faintly surrounding the two.

"All back."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the air became more and more tense, Tao Shiqian stopped in a deep voice.

"But Master Tao Shi, they just..."

The old croupier raised his voice slightly, his unrelenting loyalty to the master showed no trace of disobedience.

"I order you to retreat and don't let me say it a third time."

Tao Shiqian squinted his eyes and repeated, and his tone became lower again.

Seeing Tao Shiqian speaking to this level, the old croupier waved reluctantly and signaled the guards to step down.

In fact, Tao Shiqian is not afraid of Lu Pingan.

With the power of the Baishi clan in Yongcheng, even if a cultivator in the Yuan Wu realm or even a rebirth realm came to the door, their family can deal with it.

But Tao Shiqian heard clearly just now that Lu Ping'an was carrying the admission certificate of Jixia Academy.

And the other party's tone at the time obviously didn't seem to be lying.

Jixia Academy has been founded for thousands of years and has a profound background. Compared with this behemoth, their Baishi clan is completely ant-like existence.

Even if the young man in front of him is just a new disciple of Jixia Academy, they are not easy to move.

"Ahem, the unpleasantness just now, everyone should not have happened."

After re-adjusting his emotions, Tao Shiqian said to Lu Ping'an with a serious face, "This guest, before the start of the gambling, I have already explained it very clearly, if there is no bet of equivalent value..."

"Hahahaha! Say one thousand things and ten thousand, can't you afford to lose? Brother Tian, ​​let's go!"

To everyone's surprise, Tao Shiqian was only halfway through when he saw Lu Ping'an suddenly laughed up to the sky for no reason, and flicked his sleeves before leaving.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yuebai didn't know what kind of madness Lu Pingan had made, and she hurried forward to stop her who didn't want to give up the gambling.

"Hehe, Miss Jiang, don't you understand?"

Lu Pingan sneered, and glanced at Tao Shiqian slightly, "When I first came to Yongcheng, I heard people talk about it. They said that the treasurer at Jin Houtai is just a waste with no talent for cultivation, and it depends on the proper management of the family. The Golden Hook Terrace can maintain its current status."

"Tao Shiqian just saw that I had a chance to win, and was panicked, worried that his undefeated golden body would be broken, which would affect the business of Jin Goutai, so he tried to force me to withdraw on the grounds that I was not betting enough.

In fact, Jiang Yuebai would stop herself, as early as Lu Pingan's plan.

With this opportunity, what he said seemed more natural and more from the heart.

When we met just now, Lu Ping'an habitually used the Devouring System to detect Tao Shiqian's bloodline rank.

As a result, he was surprised to find that the latter turned out to be only the lower grade of Huang Ti, which could almost be said to be the lowest class.

Based on this, Lu Pingan organized the above remarks in an attempt to provoke Tao Shiqian.

Unexpectedly, he was right, his words accurately pierced Tao Shiqian's weakness.

To Tao Shiqian, what he hates most in his life is that others talk about and laugh at his own blood aptitude behind his back.

"It's just too strong! How could I be afraid of you? How could I lose!"

Tao Shiqian clenched his fists and gritted his teeth loudly.

"Master Tao Shi, you must not fall into this kid's aggressive method!"

The veteran croupier has been working in Golden Goutai for many years and has seen too many savage gamblers.

At this time, he vaguely sensed Lu Ping’an’s purpose, and quickly reminded Tao Shiqian from the side: “He clearly just can’t take out the bet, so he’s just trying to seduce you...”

"To shut up!"

Tao Shiqian broke off with a loud drink, and then moved his gaze to look at Lu Pingan, "Okay, yes, I will allow you to enter the game! But in addition to these scraps of copper and iron, you will have to knock me three times after you lose. !"

Jin Goutai has a big business and doesn't care about making one or two less.

And his glory as the treasurer of the Golden Goblet and as a member of the Peach Food family of the Hundred Foods clan must not be insulted!

"Haha, okay, it's okay to knock a hundred heads, I won't lose anyway."

Seeing that the fierce general method worked, Lu Ping'an was happy, and he happily accepted Tao Shiqian's bet.

In this way, Lu Pingan and Jiang Yuebai also came to the guillotine and put on shackles.

The gambling "life and death line" has officially begun!

Click!

As the old croupier pressed the mechanism placed on the side wall of the hall, the floor in front of the guillotine slowly separated to the sides.

After a while, I saw a deep pit measuring about two feet square, appearing from under the ground.

When she saw the things stacked in the deep pit, Jiang Yuebai's eyelids couldn't help but jump.

It turned out that they were more than a dozen corpses with their neck bones severed and their heads separated.

Some of them died not long after, and some had become bones.

Bursts of blood rushed toward his face, which made people shudder.

"These are gamblers who have participated in the'life and death frontline'. Although they have lost their lives, they are all winners. I also gave them the treasures they deserved."

Tao Shiqian pointed to the artifacts in the pit among the corpses, and explained with a grim smile, "So, on a certain level, I've lost many times, and the price of winning against me is a bit higher. child."

At the same time, the gate of the hall was also opened by the guards. When the crowd heard the news, curious gamblers swarmed in and watched in a circle not far away.

These people are let in, not only to allow them to act as witnesses, but also to attract gamblers as a marketing tool.

For a while, the atmosphere in the air became more and more tense.

The gold wire rope of the hanging axe has a special weaving method, and the longitudinal load-bearing capacity is extremely strong, and it is impossible to see whether it is tight with the naked eye, but it can be easily cut from the horizontal cutting.

Squeak... Squeak...

According to the order, the first person to cut the rope was Tao Shiqian. He looked relaxed and calm. He held a special long-handled knife with his hand in the shackles and cut a piece of gold near the middle. Silk rope.

"Hahahaha, after all, the probability is one in twentieth. It is too difficult to get the first draw."

Seeing that the axe had not fallen, Tao Shiqian laughed with a hint of regret. Hearing that tone, it was as if he was looking forward to being selected.

Next, the cutters were handed over to Lu Ping'an and Jiang Yuebai one after another. In the end, the two also did not choose the gold wire rope hanging the axe.

But unlike the publicity Tao Shiqian, they always remained silent.

"Let me see, which one should I choose this time..."

Tao Shiqian sneered in his heart when he saw this. He shook his blade back and forth between the remaining golden ropes while deliberately raising his voice, which affected Lu Ping's mentality.

He knew very well that although Lu Ping'an and Jiang Yuebai still seemed very calm now, as the gambling proceeded, their psychological defenses would become more and more vulnerable.

This bet is different from the life-and-death struggle between practitioners.

The battle changes rapidly, there is not so much time for thinking, and the process of "life and death" is relatively slow.

Even if the participants mustered up the courage, the courage will be slowly eroded in the constant hesitation over time.

The reason why Tao Shiqian does not have any psychological pressure is because he is not in danger.

It turned out that in the thick plank of the beam below the guillotine, there was secretly embedded a layer of partition metal plate made of the same material as Shui Mingxue.

Although the strength of Shui Ming Axe is strong when it falls, under the block of the metal plate, the safety of the personnel in the shackles below can be guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about being killed by the giant axe.

In the previous introduction of the rules, Tao Shiqian did not explain that this situation is a violation, and Lu Pingan and Jiang Yuebai did not dispute this.

Gambling is cruel, and I can only blame myself for not considering it thoroughly.

As for the decapitated corpse in the pit, Tao Shiqian specially found it from elsewhere in order to distract the opponent and increase the intimidation effect.

Although this trick is very simple, people who are in contact with the "frontline of life and death" for the first time will definitely pay attention to whether the golden rope and axe as the key props, or the guards who prepare for the work, will collude with themselves.

In short, it is impossible for the other party to think that there will be a protective barrier above the shackles.

Creak!

At this time, Tao Shiqian cut a gold wire again, but the axe above was still stable.

"Huh! Fortunately, fortunately, the fourth knife is not broken."

Tao Shiqian said to himself, while handing the knife to the old dealer, turning his head to Lu Ping'an with a malicious face, "Hey, you have to pay attention, the guests pay I haven't watched it."

Lu Pingan took the cutter in silence, but did not respond to Tao Shiqian.

Seeing him looking up at the sixteen golden ropes left in front of him, he did not take the knife for a long time.

"Hehe, 80% can't stretch it anymore, it seems I will win soon."

Seeing Lu Ping'an's performance, Tao Shiqian's mouth raised, and he thought to himself.

However, just when Tao Shiqian thought he was sure of winning, Lu Ping's words made his heart fall to the bottom in an instant.
