Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 369: Alex's Move

Everyone came here to watch the fight and put bets on our names; this was just a small bet to spice up the event.

Don't bother our esteemed Patriarch with useless questions," Alex said shamelessly, making Zhu Zheng's lips twitch.

Galen smiled, "Of course, it's allowed; gambling is never banned here," while he thought, 'This youngster is interesting. I wonder, can his strength back his mouth?'

With what Alex said, no matter if Galen accepted or not, his options would be limited. Rejecting the bet would be the same as announcing he was in cahoots with ShangXi Temple.

Alex understood a bit now about world politics. He was sure Galen would not want to do this, except the information he learned from Reina was wrong.

Zhu Zheng was stuck now; the crowd kept cheering on him while the patriarch had already rejected his offer.

"Dammit! Bastard! I will make you pay," he cursed in his mind.

"So, what is your answer? Are you just being a pusy now? What a scaredy cat," Alex replied with a chuckle.

Zhu Zheng, with anger, replied, "Fine, let's have this deal!"

"Senior Moria, can you help?" Alex said with a respectful gesture as he looked at him.

Moria, with a stoic face, flew toward them, then finalized the contract. Deep inside, he was sighing, "He is really a magnet for trouble."

After it was signed, the crowd, Galen and Zhu Zheng included, had their eyes glued on Alex's attitude. Some still thought he was just bluffing, hoping for the other party to back off.

But Alex just nonchalantly signed the contract. His face was all smiles, as he was in a good mood now.

How could he not be?

After a few setbacks he faced so far, this was one of the things that went based on his plan.

The contract was done with nothing happening to Alex, making everyone know he was not lying. Little did they know that even if he did lie, the contract would be useless against him.

Maybe if the one overseeing the blood oath was at the eye-being level, it could work.

But Moria? It would be useless.

"Come, let's start now. I will give you ten moves. Otherwise, the fight will not even last a minute," Alex said with a grin, taunting Zhu Zheng even further.

Zhu Zheng's Qi shot out; his staff started emanating a cold aura. He didn't talk anymore and continued to attack using his full strength.

He knew talking back would just be playing Alex's game, and he hated it. It was their first meeting, and Alex had already played him like a fiddle.

Bang! The staff hit the floor; from it, a cascade of sharp ice appeared, making its way to Alex in a cone shape.

Alex didn't move; he put both his hands behind his back while smiling.

BANG!

The wave of sharp ice hit Alex, then exploded into a massive spike filled with countless tiny, razor-sharp fragments.

Zhu Zheng hit the floor once more; the colossal spike exploded, a flurry of ice shards flying in all directions while creating a blinding mist of glittering fragments.

Bam! He used the tip of the staff to hit the ground once more.

The deadly ice shards, as if listening to his command, got pulled back towards Alex with even greater force, converging into a swirling vortex of icy blades.

No one could see what happened inside the mist. They also couldn't feel Alex's Qi at all, making them even more tense. Is he still alive?

Most thought he was dead; the blood oath was signed in front of their eyes, and they could tell it wasn't a fake. This meant Alex was really a golden core cultivator.

Even now, everyone was still baffled at how nonchalant Alex was. Some even thought he just wanted to commit suicide to rig the bet.

Even though the reward would not be big, as everyone bet on Zhu Zheng, only a few people tried their luck betting on Alex, and one of them was Rexar.

After the incident with spice water, he stopped selling it. He didn't mind, as he had already earned a huge chunk of profit, but it was still lacking what he wanted.

Realizing this, Alex offered him to take a bet with his Qi crystal. Moria would have done the same if not because of the clan rules.

Anyone who found out would be punished heavily, as it would turn into a bad reputation for the clan.

They needed this reputation to make sure people dared to gamble a lot of Qi crystals, as the clan took 5% of all bets.

The mist dispersed, and the crowd was at the edge of their seats, as what was left was only ice spikes and shards scattered all over the ground.

Situ Chen mumbled, "What an arrogant young man."

"He is not dead," the woman beside him mumbled.

"What do you mean? There is nothing there," he said while his eyes darted around the arena.

"Even with your realm, you still cannot detect him. Interesting. If it's not because of my bloodline, I would probably also be the same."

The crowd also thought Alex was dead; there were no traces of him in the sky or in the arena. But they were confused; based on Zhu Zheng's attack, even if he killed him, there should be bits of flesh or traces of blood.

Zhu Zheng's eyes sharpened; he was on alert. He didn't believe Alex just died.

Suddenly, he felt a grasp over his ankle, followed by a huge strength that pushed him down. The arena that was filled with the murmur of the crowd suddenly silenced.

Their eyes widened as they were shocked by what they saw. Everyone had one word in their mind now. "Impossible."

Zhu Zheng's body was now embedded inside the floor arena, with only his head coming out.

While like a ghost, Alex just came out of the ground with a smug smile on his face.

He did not have a single scratch on his body.
