211: Chapter 63 Arrogant and Fierce_1 211: Chapter 63 Arrogant and Fierce_1 The Da Tong Gambling House in the north of the city is the busiest casino in Irredeemable City.
And at one of the Pai Gow tables where the betting was substantial, an intense battle was going on.
The sky-blue chips represented Path Origin stones as currency.
Any gambling table involving Path Origin stones was far beyond those ordinary gas with gold and silver at stake.
The Pai Gow being played at this table was carved from elephant ivory, and each piece was inscribed with Array Patterns, greatly limiting any Transcendent power from prying.
Sitting in the northeast position was a person wearing a Chicken Bone Mask.
The mask was simple, but the many pheasant feathers stuck in the head gave it a kaleidoscope of colors.
He wore colorful clothes, and his neck was hidden behind his collar, making it hard to discern his gender.
The hands that were exposed were slender and delicate.
In a place like Irredeemable City, it was not strange to dress in any particular way.
There was a pile of chips in front of him, signifying he was on a winning streak.
He was fondling a card in his hand; his mask hid his expression, but his eyes were clearly satisfied.
Just then, a figure walked straight towards him.
Normally, no one at the gambling table would pay attention to their surroundings but the sheer unhidden sharp aura of the newcor compelled these gamblers to look up.
“Yo, looking sharp,” said the man in the Chicken Bone Mask, his voice sharp and piercing, resembling a strangled rooster.
It turned out he was a man, though it was unclear why his voice was so shrill.
“I am Zhu Weiwo.” The newcor strode up to the gambling table, looking directly at the one with the Chicken Bone Mask, “Chicken Mask, do you know ?”
The wearer of the Chicken Bone Mask, one of the twelve Bone Tao masks, had been hiding in Irredeemable City for half a month.
The Chicken Mask’s eyes still flickered playfully as he pinched his voice and chuckled, “The first genius of the young generation in Zhuang Country, how could I not know of you?
Just wait a mont, let sister finish this round, then I’ll go out and play with you~”
His attitude was relaxed and his tone was frivolous.
He did not take the threat of Zhu Weiwo seriously.
Zhu Weiwo glanced around, taking in the noisy and fervent atmosphere of the gamblers.
“I rember…” he spoke in an uncharacteristically contemplative tone, “There was also a Da Tong Gambling House in Fenglin City.”
“What’s the use of spouting that nonsense!
Da Tong Gambling House’s business is massive, they are everywhere,” huffed a burly man at the other end of the gambling table, “If you wanna play Pai Gow, sit down and wait for the next round; if not, beat it!”
Before his words even faded, a spear grazed his neck diagonally, piercing through his collar, crashing him against his chair and pinning him to the ground.
The speed was so swift, almost no one had ti to react!
The burly man himself was a notorious killer, yet the thrust of the spear terrified him to the point where he dared not make another sound.
The Chicken Mask remained unaffected, simply steadying the table with one hand while chiding, “Hey, hey, hey, be careful, I’ve got double heavens here!”
Of course, he was not afraid.
This place was Da Tong Gambling House; as the burly man had said, it was a massive establishnt with branches in many countries.
Few dared to commit murder inside a Da Tong Gambling House.
This very Da Tong in Irredeemable City was where he paid a hefty life-gold for protection.
Many wanted him dead, but to date, no one was willing to pay the redemption price.
Not to ntion, he was already at the Peak of the Soaring Dragon Realm and held other trump cards as well; he had no reason to fear.
In his view, Zhu Weiwo’s threat was just a bluff to scare him off at most.
Thus, he mocked in return, remaining relaxed and nonchalant.
“What are you doing?
Let him go!”
The Transcendent Cultivators, guards of the Da Tong gambling establishnt, quickly surrounded the area.
“My reminiscence has ended,” said Zhu Weiwo indifferently.
He reached out and slowly pulled the Ember Ending Lance away from the neck of the fallen burly man.
“And your ti has ended, too.”
As he spoke, he thrust his spear directly at the Chicken Mask!
Disregarding the gamblers, the Da Tong cultivator guards, and the rules of Da Tong Gambling House and Irredeemable City as if they were nothing!
Even though the Chicken Mask was one of the twelve faces of the Bone Tao and was accustod to gratuitous violence and whimsy, he now felt a sense of shock and fear.
More than his strength, it was the audacity that shocked him!
The spear over his head, a point of cold light piercing the air, created intense friction, radiating heat, and sparking flas as it flew.
The thrust started casually, but the closer it got, the faster and fiercer it beca.
At first glance, it seed ordinary, but upon a second look, the terror of impending danger descended upon their hearts.
The chicken-bone faced individual had no ti for hesitation, instinctively executing his most powerful skill.
With a head full of ostentatious feathers, he opened his mouth and let out a piercing screech.
The sound waves exploded, visibly distorting the air with translucent traces as they propagated through it.
The surrounding gamblers all clutched their ears as the approaching cultivators of the Great Destiny gambling den withdrew even faster than they had advanced.
The Twelve Dharma Phases of the Bone Tao, the Rooster Crows!
This cock-a-doodle-doo, ant to emanate masculine and positive energy,
However, coming from the chicken-bone faced individual was sharp and bizarre, grating and unnerving.
In an instant, the air beca thick with a chilling wind, and plaintive wails akin to the crying of ghosts could be faintly heard.
When the rooster crows, the world turns white, and as the hen heralds the dawn…
evil breeds!
In the face of life and death, the full force of a Peak of Soaring Dragon Realm battle power was revealed without restraint.
The chicken-bone faced individual showed the confidence befitting one of the twelve bone-faced of the Bone Tao.
Yet at the tip of the Ember Ending Lance, that tiny spark had been burnt to a dark red.
It seed to be compressed to its utmost limit.
An endless sea of flas converged on this minute speck.
Wherever this speck went, the chilling air dissipated, the ghostly cries ceased, and the evil was scattered.
Everything montarily ca to a standstill.
A massive phantom of a white rooster’s skeletal fra erged, like a fierce beast congealed in front of the chicken-bone faced individual.
The rooster, with its beak as the strongest and sharpest part, pecks at insects to feed, attacking its adversaries.
This enormous Dharma Phase of bone also had its offensive peak at the beak.
The tip of the Ember Ending Lance touched precisely there.
Only at this mont did everyone’s gaze shift from that searing red point, to the figure of Zhu Weiwo thrusting forward with his lance, and to the sight of his flamboyant jet-black hair and his commanding presence!
The Dharma Phase of the chicken-bone faced individual was on the verge of collapse upon contact, sending him flying through the walls of the gambling den and crashing onto the street outside.
Within the scope of the Ascending Dragon Realm, the chicken-bone faced individual was also a renowned powerhouse.
Even in the den of scoundrels that was Irredeemable City, he was not one to lose to others.
Yet, he couldn’t even withstand a single lance thrust from Zhu Weiwo!
Zhu Weiwo glanced at the trembling cultivators of the Great Destiny gambling den and said indifferently, “I, Zhu Weiwo, will fully compensate for all losses of the Great Destiny gambling den.”
Then, holding his long lance upside down, he strolled forward, passing through the crowd toward the large gaping hole created by the chicken-bone faced individual.
The cultivators of the Great Destiny gambling den had the duty to protect it, and it was hard to tell whether they felt indignant or as if they had been pardoned from punishnt.
But they all froze in place, not moving an inch.
The chicken-bone faced individual fell to the street, propping himself up with his hands and continuously retreating.
He was panic-stricken, and his frivolous tone finally faltered as he shouted, “Where are the Sin Guards of Irredeemable City?
I want to increase my life debt!
I’ll add all my possessions, every last bit!
For you!
Where are the Sin Guards?”
At that ti, a languid voice rang out from the street corner.
“Increasing your bid in face of danger is not allowed.
If you knew your life was so valuable, why were you stingy in the first place?”
The man had a single braid, with his eyes half-closed, looking drowsy as if he had just climbed out of bed.
He wore the uniform of the Sin Guard commander—a blood-red outfit with three black Array Patterns embroidered on the cuffs to distinguish him from the regular Sin Guards.
After addressing the chicken-bone faced individual, he turned his head toward Zhu Weiwo, who had erged from the hole in the Great Destiny gambling den, “That lad over there, do you know the rules about killing soone in Irredeemable City?”
As he spoke, he took out a blood jade booklet from his bosom, flipped through it, and clicked his tongue, “This guy’s life debt isn’t a small figure.”
The indemnity for killing soone in Irredeemable City is ten thousand tis the value of the victim’s life debt.
It was the only thing the chicken-bone faced individual could rely on for his life at that mont.
But all he saw was Zhu Weiwo holding his lance upside down, walking over without a hint of hesitation or weighing his options.
He said, “Those are your Standards.
Not mine.”
His voice was level, but it carried an arrogance bordering on madness.
