609: Chapter 607: A Shocking Gamble!

Hearing this, the Black Robed Elder’s mouth twitched.

Forty million mid-grade Spirit Stones was not a small amount; even the Wang Family couldn’t produce it suddenly.

He snorted coldly, his gaze darkening as he looked towards Lin Xuan, his murderous intent unmistakable.

Lin Xuan had bet five million Spirit Stones, which he knew, but previously he hadn’t believed Lin Xuan could win, so he had disregarded those five million.

But unexpectedly, Lin Xuan had won with odds of one to eight.

As a result, the Wang Family had to compensate forty million mid-grade Spirit Stones!

The Black Robed Elder felt as if his heart was bleeding.

Moreover, what troubled him even more was that if the other party demanded immediate exchange of the Spirit Stones, the Wang Family simply couldn’t produce them, which would definitely make them a laughingstock in Quicksand City.

Seeing the ugly expression on the Black Robed Elder’s face, Lin Xuan immediately laughed, knowing the predicament of the Wang Family without having to guess.

However, this was good news for him, as it was very advantageous for what he was planning to do next.

A smile appeared on his lips as he looked at the Black Robed Elder with a cheerful face.

“There is an opportunity now that might save the Wang Family.”

“Opportunity?

What opportunity?”

The Black Robed Elder frowned; he didn’t know what trick Lin Xuan was playing.

“Would you dare to gamble with me?”

“Gamble on what?”

“If the two of us fight and you lose, I won’t take the forty million Spirit Stones, and I will also give the five million mid-grade Spirit Stones to the Wang Family.”

Hearing this, the Black Robed Elder frowned, a hint of surprise in his expression, not believing such a favorable deal could exist in the world.

“What do you want?” the Black Robed Elder asked gravely.

“Simple, if you lose, the Wang Family Martial Arts Arena belongs to me!”

“Looking for death!”

The Black Robed Elder flew into a rage as he couldn’t believe the other party dared to aim for their Martial Arts Arena.

And the surrounding crowd was also in an uproar; they couldn’t believe Lin Xuan was so bold as to engage in such a shocking gamble.

After all, forty million Spirit Stones was an enormous fortune that ordinary people wouldn’t dare to use as a bet.

Seeing the Black Robed Elder’s reaction, Lin Xuan was not at all annoyed; he shrugged his shoulders and said casually, we don’t have to gamble then, just produce the forty million mid-grade Spirit Stones, I’m in a hurry.

Hearing this, the people of the Wang Family’s eyelids twitched wildly; forty million mid-grade Spirit Stones were not cabbages that could be produced instantly.

The Black Robed Elder frowned, indeed, they were now in a difficult situation.

After that, he began to carefully consider what Lin Xuan had just said.

After analysis, he realized that defeating Lin Xuan was not impossible.

Although Lin Xuan was strong, his actual combat power was also at the limit of the Spirit Communication Realm, only a top-tier presence within that limit.

As a Wang Family Elder who had been in the limit of the Spirit Communication Realm for nearly a hundred years, he was very strong and had a profound foundation, and ordinary warriors at that level were no match for him.

Like the previous three Extreme Martial Artists, he could easily win.

So, he still had confidence that he could take down Lin Xuan.

Moreover, as an elder, his personal wealth was not like those of ordinary young warriors; in his possession, he had excellent treasures and Secret Techniques.

He thought that as long as he made an all-out effort, he could definitely take down Lin Xuan.

“I can accept your challenge, but I wonder if your word counts?” the Black Robed Elder asked.

“Of course it does,” Lin Xuan said.

“With so many people as witnesses, how can I possibly go back on my word?”

“Good, I accept your terms!”

Hearing this, the crowd below was astir; they couldn’t believe that the Wang Family had actually agreed to such a challenge, for if they lost, the Wang Family Martial Arts Arena would change hands.

This is definitely the biggest bet in Quicksand City in nearly a hundred years.

“But if you want to fight, you must first sign a battle contract,” Lin Xuan said.

The Black Robed Elder’s face turned gloomy as he said in a deep voice, “Are you saying you don’t trust our Wang Family?”

“Indeed I don’t!

Given your style, it’s likely that you will deny the debt if you lose, so it’s better to write everything down clearly in advance.”

“You—”

The Black Robed Elder trembled with rage, and the members of the Wang Family were also livid.

Lin Xuan ignored the Wang Family’s reaction and threw out two blank scrolls, letting them float in the void.

Then, he quickly wrote down the content of the fight and the rewards for winning or losing.

He spoke loudly, “Today, I will engage in a duel with the Wang Family.”

“If I win, then the prize of five battles will belong to me.”

“If I lose, then the forty million Spirit Stones I won, along with my original five million Spirit Stones, will all belong to the Wang Family.”

“Written in black and white, clear and clear!”

“Now I would like to invite Nangong Sheng of the Nangong Family and Ma Rulong of the Ma Family to act as witnesses!”

Lin Xuan looked at the Black Robed Elder, “With the people of the Nangong Family and the Ma Family as witnesses, I presume you should have no objections.”

The face of the Black Robed Elder darkened.

He hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to know disciples from two top families.

He snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice, “No objections.”

“No objections, then let’s seal it with blood!”

Having said that, Lin Xuan pricked his fingertip and flicked a strand of fresh blood onto the scroll.

The Black Robed Elder also made a blood imprint.

Then, the two scrolls fell into the hands of Nangong Sheng and Ma Rulong.

“Nangong Brother, Brother Ma, thank you for this!” Lin Xuan said, clasping his fists.

Seeing this, Nangong Sheng and Ma Rulong nodded and then said loudly, “Today’s fight is voluntary for both parties.

Regardless of the outcome, we hope both parties will adhere to the contract.”

“Otherwise, my Ma Family and the Nangong Family will be the first to not let them off!”

Ma Rulong said loudly, his voice clearly carrying in all directions.

The reason he said this was because they both had full confidence in Lin Xuan.

Not long ago, they had witnessed Lin Xuan contending with Shen Yaotian, a power absolutely formidable.

Even if the Wang Family sent an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years, the two believed Lin Xuan would undoubtedly win.

“Now, the two contestants are invited to the stage.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan and the Black Robed Elder’s figures flickered, appearing on the arena at the same time.

Everyone held their breath and watched carefully.

“Who do you think will win?”

“It’s hard to say.

Lin Xuan is currently very formidable, able to challenge several Extreme Martial Artists of the Spirit Communication Realm on his own, but the opponent is also an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, with unfathomable strength, no less than Lin Xuan!”

“It’s still hard to say who will win or lose,” someone analyzed.

The members of the Wang Family, however, thought otherwise; they firmly believed the Black Robed Elder would win.

Because the outcome of a fight isn’t solely determined by strength or cultivation; experience, tactics, treasures, and secret techniques can all decide the outcome of a fight.

The Black Robed Elder had lived for hundreds of years and had absolutely rich combat experience, and in terms of secret techniques and treasures, he could definitely overpower Lin Xuan!

Hence, in this battle, victory was undoubtedly theirs for the Wang Family.

That was also the fundamental reason why the Black Robed Elder dared to make a bet with Lin Xuan.
