C7 Gambling

Staring at Ning Yue's blurry face under the bamboo hat veil, Chang Qi was stunned for a long time. Then, he grinned and let out a burst of unrestrained laughter. He looked at Old Man Sun and asked, "Even so, you still want him to come?"

"The old man has already said it, so he won't take it back. What he wants to do is his business. " And I believe that he won't deliberately lose. " Old Sun's expression did not change. He did not ask Ning Yue another question.

However, in his heart, there was a thought.

In any incomplete game, it had always been the side of the town that had the advantage. They only needed to make use of the negligence of the person who tried to break out of the game. They could win with one move. The same went for the ten games and nine games in this seemingly fair game.

However, if the person who broke out of the game saw through all the possibilities, he could also lead the situation to the outcome that he wanted. Because the conditions for him to win the bet were two wins or a draw.

This was Ning Yue's only advantage.

"Kid, it's not good to be too arrogant."

Chang Qi gave a playful smile and moved his chess pieces. The war chariot crashed into the black stone. The white castle pattern was very eye-catching.

"Let's wait until the game is over. We can talk about it later."

Ning Yue was not moved. He pushed out another chess piece. It was a diagonal match with the previous one.

Seeing this, Chang Qi snorted. "From the beginning, the outcome has already been decided."

The sound of the chess pieces hitting the ground was crisp and clear. He did not hesitate to start a massacre. The white chess pieces rampaged on the chessboard. Although he had also suffered some damage, it did not damage his foundation.

After a few rounds, Ning Yue's disadvantage was even more obvious. He lost another four pieces of his combat strength. However, a soldier was finally about to reach his original position. The situation was just like the previous round, and he would be promoted if he advanced a step further.

It was just that his own formation was in imminent danger.

Seeing that the situation was almost the same as the previous one, Old Man Sun narrowed his eyes slightly. The crucial moment had arrived. He believed that Ning Yue would not make the same mistake as before.

Of course, Ning Yue could also see that his finger slowly returned to the formation. It was not just a single chess piece, but two chess pieces changing positions at the same time, turning from distant to close to each other.

"Wang Che changed his position?"

Chang Qi was shocked. This step was indeed permitted by the rules. He did not do anything reckless. However, at this moment, he did not understand the use of this step.

However, when he made another move, his facial expression changed. He had gone too deep into the enemy's formation, and the cooperation between his chess pieces was too poor. He had relied on restraining the enemy to continue his charge. Suddenly, the Demon King's position in the battlefield caused him to want to continue restricting the enemy. And, the transfer of the enemy's war chariot had consolidated his ability to protect the enemy.

At the same time, the war chariot formed a line with the soldiers who had gone deep into his formation, corresponding to each other.

He raised his hand and pushed, and the soldiers stepped into the formation. They became the strongest chess pieces under the rise of their ranks, the Queen. This time, Ning Yue used the gap he got to make up for his mistake.

Following that, Chang Qi was a little flustered. Facing a queen who was rampaging in his formation, he could no longer have the advantage like before. In a moment of carelessness, he made a wrong judgment and took the wrong step. In the end, he was defeated.

The white side had the advantage. The black side might only win in a draw. If they won, it would be the fault of the person in charge of the battle.

Chang Qi's face suddenly turned deathly pale. He looked at the chessboard that was already set in stone. His face twitched, and a wisp of anger surfaced in his eyes.

Bang!

He flipped the chessboard over with a flip of his hand. He raised his finger and shouted, "This match does not count. The two of you have joined forces to cheat me!"

"It's impossible to cheat on the chessboard. Every step you take is your own decision. I didn't say anything. " If you can't afford to lose, then don't play. "That's why I'm too lazy to play chess with you."

Old Man Sun shouted coldly, then he waved his hand. Instantly, Ning Yue's eyes narrowed.

As the small table fell to the ground, silver coins flew up into the sky. Old Man Sun held them all in his hand, and then he put them back into the money pouch Chang Qi had left with him. He threw them out.

"Kid, you win. These are all yours. Today, we won't play another game. Let's close the stall."

As soon as he finished speaking, he squatted down and pulled out the chessboard. He picked up the fallen chess pieces one by one, instead of directly circulating the force within his body to extract objects from the air like before.

However, he had shown such a hand. Ning Yue was shocked, while Chang Qi was shocked. He forcefully swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He could not help but let go of the clenched fists in his sleeves.

"This time, you guys won. I admit it. But next time, it won't be so simple."

Leaving behind a vicious sentence, he turned around and left. At the moment he left, a few people on the gambling table around him hurriedly stopped playing around and followed him. They asked about him, but from their expressions, Judging from their expressions, they were only Chang Qi's followers.

"That Chang Qi has some small influence in this abandoned city. He has something on his mind. However, he can't see through me. He wants to win a few times in the next round. It's a shame it's not home yet. This time, he suffered a loss. "It's very likely that he won't give up just like that. You have to be careful." Old Man Sun continued to tidy up his chess pieces. He didn't even raise his head.

"Understood. Thank you for your reminder, Senior."

Ning Yue weighed the money bag in his hand. It was very heavy. Of course, Ning Yue knew that it was easy to take the money away, but he could still hold it in his hand for a long time. That was hard to say.

Old Sun continued, "Try your best not to make a move in this abandoned city. It is inevitable that some people who do not help will take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation. Desolate Mountain City is under the protection of a certain power. The abandoned city cannot be controlled. But if they make a move in the city and alarm the security team, they will definitely intervene. Run faster."

"Thank you."

Ning Yue cupped his hands and replied. Regarding Old Sun choosing to protect himself and not help, Ning Yue did not have any objections. The rules here were like this.

Putting away the money pouch, he turned around and strode out of the casino. Among them, there was no lack of people who had witnessed what had happened. They stuck their heads out to take a few glances, but they only looked and did not stop him.

When he returned to the ground, the street was still as noisy as before. Ning Yue let out a long breath. His gaze swept the surroundings, and it was still the scene of people coming and going haggling at various stalls. However, in some corners, the expressions and actions of some people weren't normal. It was not difficult to identify a few people who had followed Chang Qi out earlier.

But at least on this street, they did not dare to make a move.

"Sure enough, they are going to block me. But this way, they can make use of it. It is still within expectations."

He tugged at a vine in front of his chest. It was very stable. He carried the rusted and gorgeous ancient sword on his back. Ning Yue was confident that he would make a move. As long as he had this trump card, he wouldn't have any problem leaving, let alone winning.

He turned back as if he did not see it. When he passed by the ruins with the curtain drawn, he did not avoid it this time. Instead, he stuffed two gold coins into the hands of the charming lady and whispered to her.

Immediately, the lady's eyes lit up. She nodded repeatedly and pulled Ning Yue into the curtain.

Seeing this, the few people in the crowd exchanged glances. They looked at each other with a smile that wasn't a smile. They all understood each other.

However, after a long time, no one came out. Finally, one of them realized that something was wrong. He couldn't help but rush forward and flip the curtain. There was only one person inside. The woman who led Ning Yue in was combing her makeup. There was no one else.

"Oh no, I fell into a trap!"

At the same time, Ning Yue, who had quietly left the other side of the ruins, had already seen the boundary of the abandoned city. He jogged forward and turned his head to look at the gatekeeper whom he had met before. They did not say anything to each other. The other party allowed him to leave. Naturally, they would not stop him.

His feet had just returned to the city when he finally took a breath. However, he instinctively warned himself that the trouble was still there. He glanced to the side and a few figures walked out from behind the house. One of them was Chang Qi, who had lost the game in the casino.

"I knew you would come out from here. Do you really think I only planned to use a group of people to stop you?"

Chang Qi, who was leading the group, gave a mocking smile. He raised his hand and beckoned. Several people behind him jumped forward at the same time, looking extremely aggressive.

Without any nonsense, Ning Yue stomped his foot and jumped to the edge of a roof in front of him. Then, he used the momentum to step forward and continued to dash forward swiftly. His long robe suddenly fluttered in the wind. His vigorous body moved swiftly a few times before he returned to the ground again. His running footsteps were wide open. He looked like a bird and was as fast as a gust of wind.

The movement technique of the Cloud Void Sword Pavilion, the Flying Swallow Ladder, Cloud Dash, and Cloud Dash, was called the Flying Swallow Dash, and the Flying Swallow Dash, and the Flying Swallow Dash, and the Flying Swallow Dash, was also known as the Flying Swallow Dash, and the Flying Swallow Dash, and the Flying Swallow Dash.

The martial arts on the continent could roughly be divided into four levels of the Heavenly God Psionic Mortal Realm. Each level was divided into three levels, one above, one below, and one below. The martial arts that Ning Yue practiced were only of the average Mortal Realm. However, they did not have any offensive abilities. They only had a pure increase in speed. If he wanted to use other martial arts techniques during the activation period, the burden of circulating Profound Strengths in his meridians would intensify.

However, it was precisely because of this that the sudden burst of speed was extremely shocking. It was said that the initial purpose of creating such a martial art was to allow a warrior at the Origin realm or Spirit Waking Stage realm to temporarily reach the Wind Riding Stage realm, the ability to control the flow of air. Of course, the difference in speed was still several times, but at present, it was more than enough.

The whistling sound of the wind lingered in the air. Ning Yue turned around and saw that there were only a few blurry black dots left in his line of sight, but they were still chasing him relentlessly. If they went any further, they would soon enter the downtown area. If they wanted to fight there, they would have to worry about the security team in Desolate Mountain City.

It was just that... it seemed like things were not going so smoothly.

The flying figure suddenly stopped. Ning Yue looked at the figure who stepped out from the corner with his sword pressed. The other party's gaze was also sizing him up.

He did not come with good intentions.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

In the next moment, another three figures leaped down from the roofs on both sides, forming a circle around him.

"Friend, can I ask you about someone?"

The person in front said with a smile, but the expression on his face made people shiver. In his hand, a roll of white paper was slowly unfolded. The most eye-catching thing was the portrait drawn on it. The scarlet word 'wanted' was at the top.

Ning Yue did not even need to look. He knew that it was his wanted poster. The people in front of him were the few people who had blocked his way when he had entered the abandoned city.

Sure enough, they had been waiting here.

He pressed the bamboo hat on his head and turned his head to look behind him. Due to him stopping, Chang Qi and the others quickly shortened the distance between them and quickly arrived here.

"There's no need to ask around. Everyone is well aware of this. Why do you need to beat around the bush?" Ning Yue snorted with a smile.

The smile on the man's face became even more malicious when he heard Ning Yue's words.

"So, are you going to surrender or let us take you down?"
