Chapter 69: One More Gamble

road.“This…”Zhao Tianlei stood in front of Zhao Qing, staring at the corpses of his loyal followers lying on the ground, silent and lifeless. A trace of shock, impossible to conceal, flickered in his..."Go!"

A sudden, piercing shout rang out.

Then Jiang Yan's face still held a strange smile, waving his blade light, and was about to strike Su Xin's sword.

He was originally very confident, believing that a newcomer would definitely not be able to stop his attack.

Under this surge of energy, Su Xin's already formidable swordsmanship saw a sudden and dramatic increase in its sharpness.

What

Jiang Yan's face changed color. The moment his blade clashed with Su Xin's swordsmanship, not only was he unable to break through Su Xin's defense, but a powerful force also surged from the swordsmanship, instantly sending him and his blade flying backward.

Hopscotch!

Jiang Yan's figure landed on the ground. He wanted to steady himself, but as his feet touched the earth, he kept taking step after step backward, each footstep producing an incredibly heavy thud.

"You're actually hiding your true strength!!"

After gingerly regaining his footing, the somewhat contorted visage turned back towards Su Xin, its expression grim and unsettling.

In that instant, he could feel that Su Xin's strength was definitely not much weaker than his.

"Each looked at the other, Su Xin holding his sword and standing opposite Jiang Yan, a sneer playing on their lips."

"Damn it, you schemed against me!" Jiang Yan's anger flared instantly, ready to erupt.

"Well, losing and refusing to admit it" Su Xin's face turned cold.

"Hey, what's going on I lost to you so many times before, and I gave you all the fire points you deserved. Now that you lose once, you're not taking responsibility" Duan Yunfeng stood up and shouted.

Beside him, those Tianyan Palace disciples were also looking at Jiang Yan, and some of them spoke up.

"Ginger, since you've lost the bet, be a good sport and light the fire,"

"So, you're the one who initiated the duel and set the terms. Now that the other side has won, you want to deny it"

"Ginger, stop embarrassing yourself."

These days, disciples of the Yan Palace have also seen that Jiang Yan was tricked by Su Xin.

What about it then

This gamble was proposed by Jiang Yan himself, including the battle conditions.

Before this, Ginger had been deliberately hiding his strength, swindling fire points from these newcomers. Now, Su Xin is simply returning the favor.

Is it that you are allowed to hide your strength in battle, but others are not permitted to

Ginger's face turned ashen, he knew he was in the wrong. Even if he was unwilling to admit it, he could only honestly transfer a thousand fire points to Su Xin.

As soon as a thousand fire points were in his hand, Su Xin's face broke into a smile.

Besides, Duan Yunfeng and the newcomers like Xia Mang and Mo Bing were also happy for Su Xin.

But at this moment, Ginger Flame spoke again, "Su Xin, dare you gamble with me again"

"Another round" Su Xin sneered at Jiang Yan, "Bet on what Another bet on whether I can hold on for thirty breaths in your hands Or this time, let's make the conditions a little more lenient, forty breaths"

"Haha!!" Duan Yunfeng beside him was amused.

A slight twitch played at the corner of Ginger's mouth.

In that instant, he could see that Su Xin's strength was not much different from his. With the defensive swordsmanship, he couldn't defeat Su Xin head-on even in forty or fifty breaths, let alone thirty.

And Su Xin said this clearly to mock him.

This time, we'll face each other head-on and decide the victor. Jiang Yan said in a gloomy tone.

"Win or lose"

Before Su Xin could respond, Duan Yunfeng stepped forward, "Jiang Yan, are you stupid yourself or do you think we're all fools"

"As newcomers to the Tianyan Palace, we've only been here for two months. How can we possibly challenge a senior like you who has cultivated here for years Why don't you simply unleash your Void Breaking mid-stage cultivation and fight us cultivators of the Sea Condensation realm"

Those disciples of Tianyan Palace beside him also looked at Jiang Yan strangely.

In their eyes, the wagering conditions before Jiang Yan's fight, which only required him to hold on for thirty breaths in his hand, was already considered bullying a newcomer.

Now, to actually have a direct confrontation and fight it out That's just too embarrassing.

"Su Xin, do you dare!" Jiang Yan ignored Duan Yunfeng and stared coldly at Su Xin.

"How many fire points do you want to bet" Su Xin glanced at Jiang Yan.

"Six thousand!" Jiang Yan said.

As soon as the number was announced, there were gasps of surprise from the surrounding crowd.

Six thousand fire points is not a small number.

Even for these elders, they have long completed their trials and can independently take on some regular tasks issued by the palace to earn fire points. However, those tasks are difficult in terms of difficulty, and the fire points obtained after completion are not many.

Six thousand fire points, they generally need to spend several months to complete the task before they can gather enough.

This Jiang Yan, among the elders in Tianyan Palace, is considered mediocre in strength, even at the bottom. His task completion difficulty is also higher. Six thousand fire points are definitely the limit he can currently muster.

"Su Xin, I know your strength is not much different from mine."

6,000 fire points, do you dare to bet!

Jiang Yan's eyes were cold, staring at Su Xin.

Just now I was tricked by Su Xin Xiao, losing a thousand fire points. It's not a big deal though.

He was humiliated by a newcomer, defeated at the hands of this rookie. Ginger Flame felt deeply ashamed. Right now, he's seething with anger and wants to get back at him.

He wasn't worried about Su Xin's abilities, after all, he was just a newcomer. No matter how capable he was, he didn't believe he could win against him.

Even if Su Xin refused to fight, although the thousand fire points could not be recovered, at least some face could be regained.

“Six thousand fire points…” Su Xin frowned.

At this time, Yunfeng pulled Su Xin aside and whispered, "Brother, what's the matter Are you really going to fight"

"Of course, I wouldn't refuse a gift like this. Why should I" Su Xin said.

"This Jiang Yan has been cultivating in the Heavenly Flame Palace for several years. It is said that he has long since comprehended the essence of four realms. Facing him, are you confident" Duan Yunfeng asked.

"I wouldn't say it's a guaranteed win, but at the very least, I won't lose," said Su Xin.

He is confident.

Once his Shan Hai Scroll is unleashed, his defensive capability is impenetrable. Even a genius who has comprehended the essence of five realms might find it difficult to overcome him.

This Ginger Flame is still quite a distance from fully understanding the essence of the five realms.

In a direct confrontation, Su Xin naturally stood unyielding and invincible.

"Well then, what are you waiting for Go and fight Duan Yunfeng's face was full of surprise as he exclaimed.

“I want to challenge you, but I don't have enough fire points. If I win, that’s fine, but what if I lose It would be embarrassing not to be able to come up with the fire points. Su Xin said helplessly.”

He doesn't have many fire sources left.

I went to the Starry Temple once before and spent five thousand fire points all at once.

Exchanged "The Essence of Swordsmanship" and "Flying Blood" sword techniques, a total of 3400 fire points were used.

He still stayed in the trial tower for a whole two months, twenty fiery points every day. Two months is twelve hundred points.

All of this added up, he only had a few hundred points left. That last match was just a thousand-point wager, and as long as he held on for thirty breaths, he couldn't lose. So even if his points were low, he dared to accept the wager directly.

But now there are six thousand fire points... Even though he was confident that he wouldn't lose, what if something happened

"What am I Just a spark! You can just attack me. If you lose by any chance, your spark is not enough, I will lend you some." Duan Yunfeng laughed.

“Lend me some Six thousand fire points” Su Xin looked at Duan Yunfeng in surprise and said, “You lent Mo Bing two thousand fire points before, and lost another one thousand three hundred points in the gambling match. Plus, you've been working hard to improve your strength these past two months, so you must have spent a lot of fire points yourself. But now you still have so much fire points”

To be honest, how many fire points did you exchange for your master's swordsmanship secret technique Su Xin asked curiously.

"It's not much, just 12,000 points. Duan Yunfeng chuckled."

"Ten thousand two hundred points" Su Xin was taken aback.

To be aware, most of the sword techniques he saw in that Precious Pavilion Sword Art Secret Manual, including the "Flying Blood" sword technique he exchanged himself, mostly cost between one or two thousand, at most three or four thousand fire points.

Could Duan Yunfeng really trade his master's swordsmanship secrets for 10,000 fire points

What level of swordsmanship did his master possess

Shaking his head, Su Xin had already made up his mind.

"Jiang Yan, six thousand fire points, in this battle, I accepted it."

When Su Xin's cold voice rang out, the entire hall couldn't help but stir.

"Did you really take it"

"A six-thousand-firepoint gamble, still a direct confrontation to decide the winner, this Su Xin dares to accept"

"This year's new recruits are really brave, aren't they"

These days, disciples of the Yan Palace have been looking at Su Xin strangely.

Some even secretly regret why they didn't find Su Xin before and try to challenge him.

Maybe this Su Xin, on a whim, would agree to bet against them

6,000 fire points!

A direct confrontation is a pointless waste of time.

Then Ginger Flame, who was just filled with fury, now had eyes that blazed with an unprecedented light.

He originally proposed this wager just to drink some "Re-Su Xin" and salvage some face. He never expected Su Xin to actually accept the challenge!

"Haha, good, very good!" Jiang Yan laughed.

Soon the two were once again separated, and the people around them parted to create a space for the battle.

On the battlefield, Su Xin and Jiang Yan stood at a distance from each other. Jiang Yan grinned and then immediately made his move.

Whoosh!

Jiang Yan appeared before Su Xin like a ghost, his figure flashing. The saber in his hand slashed down effortlessly.

The limit has been reached!

The swordsmanship contained within that move was even more astonishing, leaving talented newcomers like Duan Yunfeng and Xia Mang in awe.

"Wow!"

This is his true strength.

Duan Yunfeng understood, before Jiang Yan had gambled with him, he had been intentionally concealing his strength and putting on a show. But once he truly made a move, like now, Duan Yunfeng feared he wouldn't even be able to block a single strike.

"With such strength, how could Su Xin possibly withstand it" Xia Mang also frowned.

He and Su Xin were the most dazzling two in this hunt, both fighting until the very end. In terms of strength, his gap with Su Xin was very small.

After two months of cultivation at the Heavenly Fire Palace, he has made great progress, but he admits that when facing Jiang Yan, he could only withstand one or two blows at most.

Su Xin's defensive swordsmanship is formidable, but... can it hold

Kexia Man didn't know that Su Xin had never intended to use defensive swordsmanship at all.

Boom!

Sword intent erupts, as powerful and fierce as lightning.

The air inside the battlefield instantly heated up, an endless wave of scorching heat swept through.

Su Xin took a step forward, and his swordsmanship erupted instantly.

Ding!

With a deafening roar, the blade of light Jiang Yan swung was instantly scattered. He himself stumbled backward.

"You..." Jiang Yan looked at Su Xin in a daze.

“This swordsmanship…”

The Tianyan Palace disciples watching from the sidelines all showed expressions of shock.

They all saw that Su Xin's sword was extraordinary.

Four, at least four realms of understanding have been grasped. Perhaps even the fifth is about to be comprehended as well.

"How is that possible This Su Xin, a newcomer who has only been in Tianyan Palace for two months, how could his understanding and perception be so high"

"Ginger, you've hit a snag!"

……ed a deafening roar and continuous sounds of metal striking.Xiao Mo and Luo Xianzi, these two people's abilities are indeed extraordinary.Especially Luo Xianzi, as a bloodline awakener, her bloodline...
