Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 294: Four And A Half Billion, Honoring A Bet Is Natural Principle

Chapter 294: Four And A Half Billion, Honoring A Bet Is Natural Principle

Chu Kuangren had long known that Li Yin’s Black Emperor Indestructible Exterior had a flaw, and he had already informed Murong Xuan and the crew about this.

That was why he dared to accept such ridiculous bets.

Analysis from the Eye of Revelation showed that Murong Xuan’s winning percentage was as high as ninety percent. If not, he had no reason to risk all his wealth like that.

“Impossible. Even if Li Yin had cultivated an incomplete version of the Black Emperor Indestructible Exterior, how did you find out about it?!”

Sky Emperor Palace’s Lord rebutted loudly.

“I don’t think I need to tell you that.”

Chu Kuangren replied nonchalantly. There was no way Sky Emperor Palace’s Lord and the others would figure out that Chu Kuangren had a supernatural ability called the Eye of Revelation.

“Sect Leader Zhao, why didn’t you tell us that Li Yin’s Black Emperor Indestructible Exterior has a weak spot!” One of them accused the Daoist School of Dedication’s Leader.

Li Yin was one of the Daoist School of Dedication’s disciples.

The Daoist School of Dedication Leader was fuming too when he heard that accusation. “How the hell would I know! Just think of it yourself. If you have such a flaw in your cultivation, would you simply tell anyone about it?”

That person who made the accusation was immediately silenced.

However, that fact was true. Such kind of flaw would usually be kept only to oneself, and even the closest people to them would have to be kept in the dark, let alone telling just anyone.

“Then how did Chu Kuangren find out?”

Some people were still trying to decipher this.

Nonetheless, they realized that they had a current issue at hand that needed urgent solving.

“D*mn it, godd*mn it!”

“My one hundred Top-tier soulstones are gone just like that.”

“It’s only a hundred million for you. I’ve gambled three hundred million Top-tier soulstones. To lose them all like this really makes my heart ache.”

All the orthodoxies’ Sect Leaders and Lords scowled as their hearts ached.

This especially held true for the Sky Emperor Palace’s Lord.

He was the one who had placed the biggest bet with Chu Kuangren. For the Godly Phoenix, he had wagered a billion Top-tier soulstones, two Sage Weapons, and promised Chu Kuangren the availability of all cultivation techniques of the Sky Emperor Palace!

If he were to honor the bet...

Sky Emperor Palace’s Lord could feel his head spinning.

This was awful.

It was too freaking awful.

Those sage orthodoxies who did not bet with Chu Kuangren secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They felt fortunate that they were not part of this chaos.

This Chu Kuangren was too evil.

When nobody favored Murong Xuan’s odds, he had the courage to place such humongous betting sums with the various orthodoxies, and the most important point was that he did win!

In the judge’s booth, the Thirteenth Prefect’s expression was suddenly drained pale. He had also wagered a million Top-tier soulstones with Chu Kuangren, and that was all the savings he had accumulated throughout these years.

Now, he had to hand that all over to Chu Kuangren!

How could he handle this!

“D*mn it, d*mn it! Why did Li Yin lose? Why did he have to lose!!” The Thirteenth Prefect was so furious that he almost snapped a vein on his neck.

The other two prefects shook their heads but did not say anything.

They knew that their compatriot had brought this upon himself.

At the same time, they were shocked too.

After pulling off such a stunt, Chu Kuangren had multi-folded his riches!!

“Oh, he’s rich. Chu Kuangren is now rich.”

“Just the Sky Emperor Palace alone has betted a billion Top-tier soulstones with him. Adding on the betting sum from the other orthodoxies, he should have a few billion in his pocket.”

Everyone flashed Chu Kuangren with envious glances.

“How much is the total sum that you guys owe me?”

Chu Kuangren looked at Sky Emperor Palace’s Lord and company with a smirk.

“A total of four and a half billion Top-tier soulstones!”

Just then, Jun Yi, who was behind Chu Kuangren announced with gleaming eyes.

When Chu Kuangren was placing his wagers against the orthodoxies, she had already silently noted down all the numbers.

Chu Kuangren gave her a commending glance before he said to the group of people, “Shouldn’t you guys hand over those soulstones now? Or would you like me to fetch them myself?”

“Sect Leader Chu, about the one hundred million Top-tier soulstones that I promised you, I’m afraid I won’t be able to cash out such a huge amount in such a short time. Here’s fifty million of them in advance, can I jot down an IOU for the remaining sum?” one of the orthodoxy leaders said with a blush.

“That works.” Chu Kuangren nodded.

“Sect Leader, I’ll help you jot it down.”

Jun Yi said enthusiastically as she took out a paper and a pen.

“Good.”

The remaining orthodoxies had all paid up their bets, but because the stakes were way too high, they could only pay off a part of what they owed as they did not carry so much with them. Hence, they could only make it an IOU for now.

These Sect Leaders and Lords looked extremely dreadful, especially the Sky Emperor Palace’s Lord and Overlord Sage Tribe Leader. Their hands were trembling while they signed their IOUs.

This was a massive loss for them!

“My fellow friends, I hope that Black Heaven Sect will receive the remainder of your soulstones in a month’s time. Otherwise, I reckon you guys won’t want us to pay you a visit, right?” Chu Kuangren said indifferently.

Upon hearing what he said, the crowd inadvertently shivered.

Chu Kuangren paying them a visit?

That was surely the thing that all the great sage orthodoxies dreaded the most.

After all, what happened to the Murong clan and Shang clan was still fresh in their minds.

“Sect Leader, someone still hasn’t paid up their soulstones.”

Jun Yi, who was counting the betting sums, suddenly spoke.

A cold gaze flashed across Chu Kuangren’s eyes as he scanned the crowd. “Oh, don’t tell me someone here wishes to bail on the bet? I wonder who that is. Mind stepping out for all of us to have a look?”

“Sect Leader, it’s the Thirteenth Prefect.”

Jun Yi pointed at the Thirteenth Prefect who was in the judge’s booth.

“Even though you’re a judge, you must still honor the bet.” Chu Kuangren’s figure turned into a stream of light and arrived before the judge’s booth.

The Thirteenth Prefect could not help but jump when he saw Chu Kuangren in front of him. He then smiled sheepishly and said, “Uh... Brother Chu... You see, as a judge, I shouldn’t have participated in such an act. Do you think you can perhaps...”

“No!”

Chu Kuangren cut him off straight away. “Thirteenth Prefect, you’ve already clarified just now that you’re betting in your name. So what? You want to dishonor the bet now that you remember your position as a judge?”

“Brother Chu, you’ve already gained so many winnings. I don’t think you’d mind not having my meager sum. Do you really have to do this?”

The smile on the Thirteenth Prefect’s face faded as he pleaded in a low voice.

He had spent almost his entire life accumulating these soulstones, hence he was not willing to give them to Chu Kuangren.

“Heh, that’s fine too. I accept payment in lives as well.”

Chu Kuangren let out a chuckle.

“Chu Kuangren, how dare you!”

“Do you want to test it out?!”

The moment he said that, an incredible chilly Sword-based Daoist Rhyme encased the entire judge’s booth. As if the surrounding air had turned into blades of sharp swords, cuts were all over the Thirteenth Prefect’s body the next instant.

The Eleventh and Twelfth Prefect were so horrified that they jolted up from their seats. At this moment, it finally dawned on the Thirteenth Prefect as to what kind of person Chu Kuangren was.

He was a fanatic who disregarded all customs and laws — an absolute lunatic!

He had wrecked sage orthodoxies and slain Sages!

Was there anything else that he dared not do?

The Thirteenth Prefect was merely an Honorable Supreme. Even if there were Sages safeguarding the First City, would Sages go up against Chu Kuangren for someone like him?

Chances pointed to no.

“Take it, it’s yours!”

The Thirteenth Prefect reluctantly took off his Yin and Yang Ring.

Chu Kuangren scanned it with his spiritual thought and said, “There’s only about eighty million in there, so you still owe me twenty million. Kindly get them ready and deliver it to the Black Heaven Sect in a month, dear Prefect.”

“Chu Kuangren... You... You...” The Thirteenth Prefect was so angry that his whole body quivered, yet he did not dare to say anything else.

“Quit it with your ‘yous’. Honoring a bet is a natural principle.” With that, Chu Kuangren turned around and left the judges’ booth.

The Eleventh and Twelfth Prefect glanced at the Thirteenth Prefect sympathetically.

To Thirteenth Prefect who viewed his wealth as the most important aspect in his life, what happened today was certainly an immense blow for him.

They would not be surprised if their compatriot were to lose his bearings right there and then.
