Chapter 128 The little golden retriever, feeling utterly hopeless, felt he would live his entire life in someone's shadow.
In the arena, a robust soul beast made its appearance.
Its golden-red mane shone brightly in the sunlight, exuding a kingly aura. Its venomous eyes swept over the soul masters, occasionally letting out a low growl that trembled.
Its sheer killing intent was enough to send chills down one's spine.
"Hiss... It's actually this guy, [Zero]?!"
"Is that the 40,000-year-old Lion King Zero? It's said that at least a dozen Soul Emperors have died at its hands."
"I didn't expect them to release this soul beast. I wonder which brave warrior dares to challenge it."
Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
Capturing a 40,000-year-old soul beast? Are they kidding?
Aren't they afraid it will go berserk?
He had sensed it earlier and found only one Soul Saint guarding it.
If this Demon Ridge Golden Lion really went berserk, even that Soul Saint might not be able to hold it off.
Those nearby would be easy prey.
Jiang Nian watched as the three Soul Emperors stepped onto the fighting cage. According to the host's explanation, Lion King Zero was too strong, so three Soul Emperors were sent to fight.
Even so, not many people bet on those three Soul Emperors.
"Little Jiang, are you going to bet?"
"No, I'm not betting anymore."
Qian Renxue's lips curled up. Since not many people were betting on those three Soul Emperors, if she won, wouldn't she make several times her initial investment?!
Then she would definitely be able to surpass him!
All in!
She was going to use those 25,000 gold soul coins to achieve a resounding victory!
No one could stop her!
"Hmph~ This time, I must win!"
"Yeah, yeah, if you lose again, you'll lose your underwear."
The little golden-haired boy immediately got anxious and punched him.
He even thought that even if he lost his underwear, he would still slap it on this guy's face!
He'd rather suffocate him to death!
Jiang Nian quietly left with 200,000 gold soul coins in his hand. One shouldn't be too greedy; it's time to leave the game.
Otherwise, they would only end up like Qian Renxue, slowly losing all their capital.
Soon, the battle began.
The three Soul Emperors cooperated quite well, their offense, defense, and control were all excellent, clearly showing they had honed their skills for a long time.
Even so, they didn't gain any advantage.
Instead, Lion King Zero found an opening and randomly severely injured one of their enemies.
After watching, Qian Renxue couldn't help but curse under her breath, hoping for a miracle.
Unfortunately, not everyone is like Da Gu.
In the brief exchange, Lion King Zero's attacks grew increasingly powerful, forcing the three Soul Emperors to retreat steadily, risking defeat at any moment.
Little Golden Hair stopped watching; it was a waste of time.
Now she understood that gamblers would only end up bankrupt.
She was truly exasperated!
Why was her luck so bad?
Logically, she should have been able to turn the tide! Seeing this, Jiang Nian smiled and tapped her head with his fan, causing the girl's almond-shaped eyes to widen instantly.
Her fur seemed to stand on end.
"Don't rush, how can you give up until the very last second?"
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes, tossed her head back, and looked utterly dejected. "Xiao Jiang, I feel like I've been set up."
"Xiao Jiang, could it be you? Did you influence them with your mental power?"
Jiang Nian pinched her cheek expressionlessly, the slight bounce echoing softly. "How could that be? I was just lucky."
"Oh..."
Qian Renxue rubbed her cheek, which had turned red from his pinch, her bright eyes flashing with doubt. Something felt off.
Just now, she clearly saw a fleeting glint of silver in Xiao Jiang's pupils.
Was it just her imagination?
Jiang Nian silently sipped his tea, inwardly lamenting that he hadn't placed a bet this time.
Otherwise , it would be ridiculous if they were discovered...
Using a little cheat doesn't count as not using it, and not turning it off doesn't count as using it either.
As time went on, the three Soul Emperor contestants were already covered in wounds, and the 40,000-year-old Demon Ridge Golden Lion seemed to have even stronger killing intent.
Even the onlookers in the distance felt a sense of dread.
"We surrender!"
After saying that, Lion King Zero pounced and swung its sharp claws, tearing the Soul Master in front of it to shreds on the spot.
Its entire body was split in two, blood flowing everywhere.
The other two Soul Emperors were not calm when they saw this, and they hurriedly ran outside. At this time, they didn't care about anything else, saving their lives was the most important thing!
"Xiao Jiang, it seems that there is really no chance now." Qian Renxuexin was already dead. She thought that Jiang Nian had just earned 100,000, and she had lost 100,000.
Rounding up, the two of them broke even!
Yes, that's how it is.
"This means you're not suited to manage money. From now on, I'll manage it, understand?"
"Mmm! I understand." Qian Renxue swung her legs with a grin, propping her head up with her hands, and secretly peeked at him.
So Xiao Jiang had already thought about married life so early...
Hehe, he's not so stupid after all.
But what did she just promise?
Never mind, with him around, why bother thinking?
*clang!*
The sound of glass hitting the window interrupted Qian Renxue's reverie. She immediately stood up and looked to her side, only to find that Jiang Nian was gone. Looking down, she saw the boy with the umbrella standing in mid-air, looking down at the rampaging Demon Ridge Golden Lion.
A silver halo emanated from him, and the Heavenly Umbrella slowly rotated.
His lips moved slightly, his voice calm and still.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Time Stop."
The Demon Ridge Golden Lion's body froze strangely, as if time itself had stopped flowing, and only he was moving upstream.
Qian Renxue also realized what was happening and quickly followed suit.
Now that its body was immobilized, it was the perfect opportunity to kill it.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Divine Sword!"
A golden holy sword, crackling with scorching flames, fell from the sky, piercing straight into the head of the Demon Ridge Golden Lion.
Clang!
The sword pierced through, blood splattering.
After the time stop ended, its movements became even more frantic, nothing more than a death throes.
Jiang Nian watched quietly, and only when it collapsed to the ground, barely alive, did he turn his gaze to the only Soul Saint in the arena.
"Holy... Holy Son."
"I am very sorry for causing you trouble. I will take full responsibility for the innocent injuries caused today..."
Jiang Nian put away the Heavenly Dao Umbrella and calmly asked, "What does your back represent?"
"Ah? I..." Zhou Kai hesitated, lowering his eyes, unsure whether to speak.
"I'll give you three seconds."
Jiang Nian fiddled with the umbrella, not even glancing at him.
Zhou Kai gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and cautiously answered, "It's...it's the Star Luo Royal Family..."
"The Royal Family..."
Jiang Nian didn't press further. He then set the Demon Ridge Golden Lion's body ablaze. Seeing no soul bone explode, his gaze fell on the arriving Qian Renxue.
"By the way, should we count the three Soul Emperors as winners this time?"
"In that case, according to the odds of one to six, give this young lady beside me 150,000 gold soul coins."
Zhou Kai quickly took out 200,000 gold soul coins and respectfully handed them to Qian Renxue.
Jiang Nian didn't say much. After picking up his own things, he took her hand and left.
It seemed the two were merely spectators...
