“What, what’s going on?”
The crowd immediately erupted in an uproar; none of them had expected the situation to reverse so quickly.
“Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!”
Li Tai stood up in disbelief, staring blankly ahead.
He never imagined things would turn out this way.
“He was clearly in the lead, how could it end up like this?”
Li Tai was puzzled. He stared angrily ahead, his fists trembling slightly from rage.
To control the outcome, the Li Family had secretly planted Gu worms in the hearts of both Spirit Beasts before the match.
These Gu worms consisted of a mother and a child; the child worm was implanted in the heart, and by controlling the mother worm, the child worm would undergo the same changes, affecting the Spirit Beast similarly.
For many years, the Li Family had relied on this method to manipulate situations.
But he hadn't expected to miscalculate this time.
Even though the Li Family secretly killed the mother worm controlling the Gold-Swallowing Wolf, the Gold-Swallowing Wolf still charged forward recklessly, instantly dispatching the Wind Beast.
“It actually turned the tables.”
Xiao Ruyan, the Shindao Sect Saintess in the stands, was also quite surprised.
“You lost!”
Qin Xuan looked at Li Tai calmly.
At this point, Li Tai began to tremble all over.
He never expected things to develop in a direction he couldn't control. After a long pause, he slumped back into his seat, looking dejected.
“How did you do it?”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan feigned ignorance and frowned.
“What?”
“Don’t play dumb. The Gold-Swallowing Wolf was about to lose. If you didn’t tamper with it, could it have gotten back up?”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan smiled and shook his head.
“The Spirit Beasts were provided by your Li Family, the venue is yours, and even this gambling match was organized by you. Now you’re saying such things, don’t you think it’s a bit ridiculous?”
“Or perhaps, you already knew which of these two Spirit Beasts would lose, and now the outcome has exceeded your expectations?”
Seeing Qin Xuan’s half-smile, Li Tai’s expression changed, and he quickly shook his head.
“Nonsense, how could I possibly know such a thing!”
Beast fighting was their Li Family’s main source of income, and on this matter, they absolutely couldn’t let others know that the Li Family had tampered with it.
“Since there’s no tampering, then I won this time.”
Qin Xuan said to Li Tai, then stared at him, speaking mockingly.
“How about this, these Spirit Stones are quite a lot. I’ll give you a chance: if you kneel and kowtow to me now, I can consider not taking these 100,000 Spirit Stones.”
Not taking these 100,000 Spirit Stones, but having to kneel before Qin Xuan!
How could Li Tai endure this!
He was the eldest Young Master of the Li Family, the future Clan Chief of the Li Family; how could he kneel to someone else?
“Unwilling?”
“Alright, then these Spirit Stones are mine.”
Qin Xuan smiled and took Li Tai’s Spirit Stones into his hand.
100,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones; for the Li Family, this number was terrifying.
Watching Qin Xuan take the Spirit Stones, Li Tai felt a sudden pang in his heart, almost unable to stand upright.
Li Tai gave Qin Xuan a cold look and took a deep breath.
“One more round!”
“One more round? Do you still have Spirit Stones?”
Playing with the qiankun ring in his hand, Qin Xuan smirked mockingly.
“Nephew, you can lose the match but not your spirit. Take these Spirit Stones first.”
Just then, Sima Rui of the Sima Family walked over and handed Li Tai a qiankun ring.
“There are 200,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones in here, enough for a wager.”
“I have some here too!”
At this moment, the Clan Chiefs and Elders of several other Families also gathered around.
Nothing more, these Families had long disliked the Qin Family, and now they naturally wanted to help Li Tai.
“Good, very good!”
Looking at these people, Qin Xuan sneered and took out another pile of Spirit Stones.
“Adding what I had before, a total of one million Spirit Stones. One round to decide the winner, do you dare or not?”
Since Li Tai wanted to gamble with him, he would gamble big with the other party!
One million Spirit Stones!
Hearing this terrifying number, Li Tai suddenly felt breathless.
This was playing too big!
But looking at Qin Xuan’s provocative gaze, and the two in the stands, Li Tai hesitated for a moment.
“Nephew, it’s just for fun, it doesn’t matter. How much more do you need? I’ll make up the difference for you!”
Just then, Yuan Hao walked over and patted Li Tai’s shoulder.
Hearing this, Li Tai looked at Yuan Hao.
Yuan Hao nodded at him, a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
“Alright, I’ll gamble with you!”
Seeing the glint in Yuan Hao’s eyes, Li Tai naturally understood what he meant, and decisively nodded.
Their gazes instantly crossed. Li Tai naturally saw the killing intent in the other’s eyes.
“Alright, then let’s gamble again!”
Li Tai said decisively, then he looked fiercely at Qin Xuan.
“Alright, then let’s begin.”
Soon, two more Level 3 Spirit Beasts were brought in.
“Demonic Spider.”
Qin Xuan couldn't help but be startled.
It seemed that the Li Family had probably captured a nest of Demonic Spiders, otherwise, how could there be so many Demonic Spiders.
On the other side was a mutated Heavenly Horned Ox, its entire body appearing to be covered in iron armor.
However, upon closer inspection, one could see that these so-called iron plates were actually formed by bones.
Looking at this thing, Qin Xuan also clicked his tongue in wonder.
“Let’s begin, I think everyone is getting impatient.”
Li Tai stared at Qin Xuan, speaking to him eagerly.
After all, this time he was very confident; no matter which one Qin Xuan chose, he was certain to win.
“Your brother also used a Demonic Spider in battle before. It seems your Family has been mastering the Demonic Spider for a long time, otherwise, you wouldn’t be so confident in controlling a Demonic Spider.”
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, Li Tai sneered.
“What, are you scared? If you are, just say so. As long as you kneel and beg for mercy, I can stop this wager.”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan smiled and shook his head.
“You’re truly ridiculous. Do you really think you have me cornered?”
Qin Xuan said with a smile, but at this moment, a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Today, he would make the Li Family pay the price, making them understand the consequences of offending the Qin Family, of offending him, Qin Xuan!
“Then let’s begin. You are the guest, I’ll let you choose first!”
The Demonic Spider was nurtured by the Li Family with their essence blood, so the Li Family’s control over the Demonic Spider naturally far surpassed that of other Spirit Beasts.
This was their Li Family’s most confident Spirit Beast.
“Alright, since you’ve brought out the Demonic Spider, it would be too disrespectful if I didn’t choose it!”
Qin Xuan directly chose the Demonic Spider, while Li Tai seemed to have already anticipated it.
“Heh, coincidentally, I’m quite fond of this mutated Heavenly Horned Ox.”
