C183 Rules

However, with his sword technique, he was definitely no match for Hou Jian. Even Duan Tianya didn't expect Hou Jian to obtain a new long hook. It was like adding wings to a tiger.

Liao Qingshu and Zhu Lei were watching the battle from the side. Their brows were tightly knitted, and the burly man was staring intently.

In recent years, although the martial arts skills of the Heavenly Hook Hou Jian were widely known in the Pugilistic World, most of them were passed on by word of mouth. Hou Jian was not a flamboyant person. He did not like to get along with others. The reason why Xuan Zhengchen could get to know him was because he could give Hou Jian a good spot. Hou Jian and Xue Kang were different in this aspect, and there were some similarities.

After forty moves, Zhu Yan thrust his sword. Hou Jian turned his body sideways and placed the hook on his sword. He then turned around. Zhu Yan's sword was completely cut off. When he turned around, Hou Jian's hook was already placed on Zhu Yan's neck.

Zhu Lei quickly stepped forward and said: "Hero Hou, victory and defeat have been decided. Please show mercy. "

Hou Jian put away the long hook. Liao Qingshu cupped his fists and smiled, "The Heavenly Hook Hou Jian really lives up to his reputation. " Hou Jian did not say anything. Xuan Zhengchen let out a long sigh of relief. Facing the remaining two stages, he could not help but say: "This Woo Sian is deliberately mystifying. I wonder what he is doing this for?"

When Liao Qingshu heard this, he hurriedly explained. "Hero Xuan, you might not know, but if you want to meet my Master in the Golden Snake Hall, you can ask him. You must pass these five stages. This is the rule of our hall. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Since we are in his territory, we have to follow his rules. " He also asked, "Has anyone broken Master's rules?"

Liao Qingshu replied, "No one has ever broken the rules. "

Duan Tianya said, "In that case, please tell us the next stage of the competition. "

Liao Qingshu raised his hand and led everyone into the main hall. As soon as they entered the main hall, a white flag appeared in front of them. There was a golden poisonous snake drawn on it. There was a reclining chair under it. There were five chairs on both sides of the chair. Liao Qingshu asked someone to bring over a square table and said with a smile. "The fourth round is a bet. "

When the word "bet was mentioned, Duan Tianya asked with interest, What kind of bet?"

Liao Qingshu said, "It's very simple, a gambling den's game. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Don't tell me you don't know that this Nine Tribulations Sword Arts is a gambling den's business. "

Liao Qingshu replied, "The rules have already been set by Master. As for who is proficient and who is skilled, it is also heaven's will. "

The rules of Golden Snake Hall could be considered to be righteous. Looking at the nine cards and the dice, Xuan Zhengchen touched the bone cards and teased, "Duan, are you interested in a few moves?"

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Senior Xuan is one of the experts. "

Xuan Zhengchen said, "But I lost to you back then. "

Duan Tianya said, "At that time, I was just lucky. "

Xuan Zhengchen heard him and said, "Then I will make a fool of myself. " Then he asked, "Who is betting with me?"

Liao Qingshu waved his hand towards the door and saw a person walking in. He was skinny and had a short stature. Under the illumination of the light, he looked even more sickly. When he came to the front of the crowd, he didn't greet or greet them. He just kept yawning. Liao Qingshu said with some displeasure. "You gambler, you are so rude to everyone!"

The gambler rolled his eyes and revealed a look of disdain. When he heard Liao Qingshu's scolding, he only raised his hand symbolically and still didn't say a word. However, when he saw the card number nine and the dice on the table, his eyes flashed with a rare light. He stroked the bone card and seemed to love it dearly. He shook the dice back and forth in his hand and also liked it very much.

Liao Qingshu angrily rebuked, "If you lose later, I'll punish you to not go out for half a month. "

The gambler was first shocked, then he played the dice and asked, "Who wants to bet with me?"

At this moment, Xuan Zhengchen came forward and said, "Let me bet with you. "

The gambler looked up and smiled. "Yo! Isn't this the leader of Lucky Gambling?"

"You recognize me?"

The gambler laughed. " How could such a famous person not recognize me? It's just that I know you, but you don't recognize me! "

Xuan Zhengchen also replied," Forgive me for being blind! "

The gambler did not mind. He moved to the side of the table and yawned. "Let's play a few games. "

Xuan Zhengchen divided Zhuang Xian and picked up the bone card. He put his hands behind his back and flipped the card. "Two points!"

When the gambler saw it, he was so happy that he fell back and said, "Only two points? It seems that you are not very lucky today. " Not only the gambler, even Liao Qingshu had an indescribable smile on his face.

Meng Chong and the others were a little nervous, but Xuan Zhengchen did not think it was a big deal. He said, "It's your turn. Open the card!"

He did not flip the card too hard. After he flipped it open, the gambler's face suddenly changed. There was only one point on the card, which made Zhu Lei so angry that he patted the back of the gambler. The rest of the people's faces twitched unnaturally a few times.

The gambler looked at the bone card on the table in disbelief. Cold sweat trickled down his face. After a while, he licked his lips and said, "Two out of three wins. Let's make another bet. "

As expected, Xuan Zhengchen opened two points. The gambler still opened one point. The gambler stood blankly on the spot. Liao Qingshu gave his subordinate a look and told them to bet on him. The gambler suddenly said, "Can you give me another chance? Let's play one last round. If I play a little bit more. . . If you want to kill me or cut me up, I have no complaints. "

After getting permission from Liao Qingshu, the gambler held the bone card in his hand and carefully pushed it. When he saw half of it, he couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he simply looked at the points in front of Xuan Zhengchen.

This time, Xuan Zhengchen did not surprise him. He opened two points again. The gambler looked at the two points and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground. However, when he saw the last half of the card, his eyes looked empty. That was the deadlock on the gambling table. He actually opened the smallest one among the nine of the ten cards.

The gambler sat on the ground. The card on the table was scattered all over the floor. He was dragged away by two big men. Before he left, he suddenly shouted, "I don't want to! I'm not willing! " His voice was hysterical and full of incomprehensible resentment.

Seeing the gambler being escorted away, Liao Qingshu smiled and said, "Hero Xuan really lives up to his reputation. Not only is his swordsmanship superb, but his skills on the gambling table are also amazing!"

Xuan Zhengchen wanted to strike while the iron was hot. "There is another round. I hope you will tell me. "

Liao Qingshu opened the paper fan in his hand and smiled. "Don't worry, Hero Xuan. We have yet to show our hospitality to the Golden Snake Hall. " As he spoke, he called for someone to place a table of dishes and wine.

The dishes and wine were served, but no one moved their chopsticks. Seeing this, Liao Qingshu picked up all the dishes and put them in his mouth. Then he poured a cup of wine and gulped it down. As he drank, he said, "Everyone, don't worry. The dishes and wine are not poisonous. "

Xuan Zhengchen was puzzled and asked, "This is the last stage of the competition?"

Liao Qingshu said, "It can be said that it is, but it can also be said that it is not. "
