"Fortunately, he turned down back then, otherwise I would have another life on my conscience."
Now, he only hoped that Chen Ce could calmly secure forty chips and smoothly pass the trial.
But at this mont, a familiar figure suddenly reflected in Song Lichuan’s pupils.
A bizarre mask, a protruding horned helt, and a robe edged with gold.
"Chen... Ce?"
Through the glass do of the Golden Hall, he could see the blurry figure of Chen Ce, only now he had a pair of gigantic black wings.
"Is this the hallucination people often talk about before they die?"
Song Lichuan thought sowhat self-deprecatingly, the bitterness at the corners of his mouth grew more intense.
But suddenly, he sensed sothing wrong.
The silver sword wielded by the baron halted in mid-air, while that once blurred figure beca increasingly clearer!
In the next instant, accompanied by a deafening explosion, the entire glass do of the Golden Hall shattered with a boom!
Under Song Lichuan’s astonished gaze, Chen Ce leaped down, his demon arm manifesting behind him like a massive heavy hamr descending from the sky, smashing toward the baron!
In a flash, the baron rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding a hit in great disarray!
"Boom!"
The demon arm struck the ground, and the terrifying power caused the smooth tiles of the hall to crackle and shatter, leaving a big pit in the ground!
Amidst the swirling dust, Chu Xiu slowly stood up.
Looking at suddenly appearing Chu Xiu, Song Lichuan was completely stunned.
It wasn’t a hallucination! It was the real Chen Ce!
But why would he co? Was it to save him?
Song Lichuan found it hard to believe, but other than this, there seed to be no other explanation!
Not only him, Bian Guanyue was also shocked, her eyes wide, and even Lin Ji’s trapped soul started crying out louder for help.
The baron, having dodged an attack, showed an angry but quickly restrained expression, looking Chu Xiu up and down.
"You’re here to rescue your companions?" he inquired.
However, Chu Xiu did not answer, rely glancing around, seemingly analyzing the current situation.
Seeing this, the baron seed to think of sothing, his face showing his trademark amiable smile: "You’ve damaged my hall and even launched an assault against ; according to the rules, I could have the notary directly execute you."
"However, I’m not soone who advocates for violence, so I’ll give you a chance: if you can defeat in my gamble, I’ll spare your life."
"Not only that, but there will be additional rewards."
With that, the baron stepped aside, revealing the legendary shield behind him.
He enticed countless gamblers with this piece of equipnt, confident that no one could resist the lure of legendary equipnt.
Sure enough, as Chu Xiu looked over, surprise flashed in the black eyes under the strange mask.
Yet at this mont, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.
"Cough, cough, no, no way!"
Song Lichuan spat a large amount of blood from his mouth, struggling to speak.
The baron frowned, seemingly not expecting such deep bonds between them, even when death lood, they thought of others.
Nonetheless, it served as a perfect opportunity for him to exploit.
The baron smiled at Chu Xiu and said, "Your companion violated the rules and should be executed, but if you win the gamble, I’ll spare them."
"How about it?"
As the baron finished speaking, Lin Ji’s soul suddenly scread, "Agree to it! I’m begging you! Save !"
Song Lichuan’s eyes suddenly widened, his Adam’s apple moving violently. Seemingly summoning the last shred of power in his body, he desperately tried to speak the words stuck in his throat like a lifeline.
Unlike Lin Ji, his mind held only one thought: Chu Xiu must not be swayed by the baron’s temptation to agree to the gamble.
He must warn him!
Among the four of them, at least one had to survive!
No more deaths!
"No, don’t agree!"
His eyes widened as he used all his strength to squeeze out the last three words: "You’ll lose!"
However, faced with his exhausted plea, Chu Xiu only gave him a calm look, then reached out and grabbed the Bet Chain offered by the baron.
This scene left Song Lichuan feeling drained, collapsing to the ground.
Chu Xiu ignored his warning, agreeing to the baron’s gamble, just like Lin Ji.
He didn’t understand why Chu Xiu would do this, and it pained him more to witness another person falling into the baron’s trap, as if falling into a spider’s web, to be slowly consud, dying before his eyes.
Yet just as Song Lichuan was in despair and the baron showed a confident smile, an unexpected twist occurred!
As soon as the Bet Chain began wrapping around Chu Xiu’s wrist, before completing the contract, he grabbed it tightly and yanked it hard backward!
Baron: ?
Before he could react, he was pulled swiftly toward Chu Xiu by the connection of the Bet Chain!
At the sa ti, the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand ford behind Chu Xiu, with blood flowing like magma being pumped into an engine, releasing imnse power instantaneously. This power compressed and accumulated to the extre in the Celestial Demon Hand, then —
A punch blasted out!
"Boom!"
Like a high-explosive bomb detonating in mid-air, the baron’s solid stone body instantly deford and shattered, his broken figure sent flying, crashing heavily into the wall at the end of the hall!
The massive impact created a large pit in the wall, with debris showering down.
The sudden turn of events left Song Lichuan with his mouth agape, his mind nearly at a standstill.
What was going on?
In his dazed gaze, Chu Xiu slowly turned around, looking at him calmly:
"Thanks for your advice."
"But really, would anyone be foolish enough to accept a gambler’s pre-set gamble?"
"Against gambling dogs, of course, you should strike with a heavy blow!"
