Chapter 936: Many Are Killed
Ah Si had died.
It was a rather miserable death where he was beaten by many. He was then eventually crushed to death by a 300 jin fatty.
Even if he didn’t die at this moment, Luo Tian would have killed him later on today.
He was the first person in this world that wanted to kill Luo Tian, so Luo Tian would never let such a person continue living for long.
This was just a slight hiccup in his plans.
No one kicked up a fuss with Ah Si’s death. Someone dying in Martial Mountain City was simply too normal. Besides, Ah Si didn’t belong to any sect, so no one would care about this death.
“That motherf*cker harmed me to death!”
“This daddy has lost everything!”
“You guys are fine, but this old lady even lost her burial money…”
Many gamblers all scolded and complained.
There were some that were still angry, so they ran over to Ah Si’s corpse and kicked him a few times.
At this time, the Gambling Pavilion changed its odds.
The Gambling Pavilion had made a huge profit this time.
The profit was all thanks to Luo Tian. Dongfang Shuo had a faint smile on his face while the steward was changing the odds. If they continued with Luo Tian’s payout as 15 to 1, they would definitely pay out all the profit they had earned in the next few rounds.
But Luo Tian’s new payout was still considered quite high at 5 to 1 because he was still the only person with such high odds.
The more a person likes to gamble, the more they would attempt to grab the bull by the horn.
They knew Luo Tian had a shattered dantian, and they had lost their money on him twice in a row. People would refuse to believe they had such bad luck and would continue to bet on Luo Tian losing. Gambling was like fighting a battle. If you have ever played Big and Small Dice, dozens of big numbers may open up in a row, but people will still try to buy small, believing the next one would definitely be a small number.
But the odds of big and small are 50/50, so a big number could still come out.
The higher the payout odds meant the person’s ability was weak. The gamblers had to take this into consideration as well.
The old steward asked, “Young master, is the 5 to 1 payout ratio too high? Luo Tian seems quite strong, so if everyone bets on him, then we are going to lose a lot of money.”
Dongfang Shuo replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, the people betting on Luo Tian winning will be very little. We can lower the odds on the round after that, but he still has to have the best payout odds. That way, not many people will bet on him, so we can still make a lot of money.”
The old man was briefly stunned before saying, “I understand. I will take care of it right now.”
Dongfang Shuo waved his hand to send the steward away before looking at Luo Tian, who was standing at the corner of the plaza. His eyes narrowed as he muttered to himself, “What a good kid. You can somehow cultivate even though your dantian is shattered. And your cultivation realm seems to be not low… so what is going on with your body?”
“Very interesting, hahaha…”
The Gambling Pavilion posted the new odds.
Wu Feng’s odds were still the lowest.
Luo Tian’s odds were the highest.
One came in the first place while the other was in the last place. The positions of their names had a large contrast.
“There’s no way Luo Tian can win in the next round.”
“There are only three rounds left, and each disciple is at least at the Spirit Martial 2nd rank. No matter how strong Luo Tian is, it’s impossible for him to be a match for those Spirit Martial 2nd peak rankers. And he’s definitely not a match for Wu Feng.
“Bet on his loss! This daddy refuses to believe it!”
“That’s right!”
The hearts of gamblers were seen through by Dongfang Shuo.
A majority of gamblers still bet on Luo Tian losing.
Back to the area of the thirteen sect leaders.
Each of them had various expressions on their faces. They were asking their respective Elders who had selected the new disciples, “Are you sure he has zero talent? Are you sure his dantian has been shattered?”
“It’s certain!”
“The testing stone cannot be wrong. There wasn’t any glow at all, so that means he has zero innate talent.”
“Then that’s strange. How can this be happening now?”
“There’s something weird about this kid.”
“Sect Leader, it doesn’t matter how weird he is since he has to die today anyway. Wu Feng is not going to let him off. No matter how strong he is, he isn’t Wu Feng’s match. Behind Wu Feng is the Spirit Gathering Sect and Elder Bai, so Luo Tian will end up dying even if he doesn’t want to.”
“It looks like Wu Feng will be the one that ends up killing him. In that case, the influence of the Spirit Gathering Sect will rise up, and that means our future will be bleak.”
Many sect leaders were silent in thought about this.
Even though they didn’t want the Spirit Gathering Sect to get stronger, matters were no longer in their control anymore.
Another thing was that they could only feel pity. Luo Tian’s cultivation and talent had completely shocked them. If only they had accepted him as a disciple, then they wouldn’t have been disadvantaged to this point.
But these thoughts only flashed through their minds because Luo Tian would be dying soon.
They weren’t worried about offending the Spirit Gathering Sect and were only worried about offending Bai Xuan, since offending him was equivalent to offending the entire Bai family. They were only tiny sects that needed the protection of the Bai family.
Not long after, the referee stepped onto the stage and announced, “Soaring Sky Sect’s Li Shen versus Spirit Gathering Sect’s Wu Feng!”
“Boom~!”
Li Shen was quickly smashed off the stage by Wu Feng and died!
“Wu Feng’s victory!”
“The next round is the Four Seas Sect’s Zhou Dafei versus Luo Tian.”
Everyone was looking forward to this round because it was Luo Tian’s turn again.
Many people got as close as they could to the stage so that they could widen their eyes and watch carefully.
For a brief moment, Luo Tian’s influence seemed to have overshadowed Wu Feng.
Wu Feng’s face was a bit unsightly as he saw the anticipatory looks on the crowd’s faces. He enjoyed the star-struck look people gave him like he was the main character, but the plot wasn’t following the course it was supposed to.
Luo Tian had become the main character, and this annoyed him.
Zhou Dafei didn’t insult Luo Tian like the previous two. He smiled and said, “Luo Tian, you should admit defeat since you are not my match. My cultivation is at the peak of the Spirit Martial 2nd rank. Even if you are a bit strong and fast, you still have no chance when it comes to me.”
Luo Tian replied with a smile, “Only after we fight will you know if I have a chance or not.”
Zhou Dafei chuckled, “Then go ahead, please.”
He then made a hand gesture to imply for Luo Tian to act.
The referee announced loudly before leaving the stage, “The competition starts now!”
Zhou Dafei suddenly moved as he exploded forth with all his Spirit Martial 2nd rank powers. His body exuded a ferocious aura as he stomped down and flew up into the air like a sun pressing down at all those below him.
Luo Tian only looked up at him.
Seeing how Luo Tian wasn’t doing anything, a smug expression appeared on Zhou Dafei’s face as he said, “Trash, you can go to hell for me.”
“A thousand catties, crush!”
Zhou Dafei’s smug and rampant expression was completely different from his previous calm one.
Who didn’t want to show their prowess on the stage?
Who didn’t want to show off in front of Bai Xuan and get some recognition from the Bai family?
Zhou Dafei and the others didn’t have an opportunity, so they could only trample on top of Luo Tian. The more that Luo Tian was in the limelight, the more they would look strong if they could trample on top of him. This was a man-eat-man world, and they would use whatever sinister move to achieve that!
Luo Tian’s killing intent surged upon hearing the word trash.
