Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Pulling the Flag
When Jiang Kai exploded with the bet, the entire Jingwu Square almost blew up!
"How much did that guy bet? 5000? Madman, definitely a madman, and a filthy rich madman at that!"
"Is Ji Fen meant to be squandered like this? This guy is definitely the most outrageous spendthrift I've ever seen!"
"What association is the Lord God Association? That's not right, I basically know all the A-rank associations, never heard of this Lord God."
"This is betting against the top ten associations! I've watched so many years of betting tournaments, no one has ever dared to place such a big bet, how dare he!"
On the sidelines, Ouyang Yi's legs went weak, his body swayed, and he almost knelt down... He looked at Jiang Kai on the stage in disbelief.
That kid next to him, sitting on 5000 Ji Fen?
"My god, did this kid make a mistake in placing the bet? It's over, it's over, no matter how rich your dad is, with a spendthrift like you, bankruptcy is inevitable!"
"5000 Ji Fen, that's equivalent to the total value of a B-rank association! You damned money-waster!"
On the grandstands, the heads of the top ten associations all turned to look at the arena.
The total profits of the first few associations didn't even exceed five thousand!
"Such a huge stake, what's the background of this Jiang Kai?"
"Jiang Kai from District 18? The one from the Conquest Tournament?"
"Not quite sure, I remember Jiang Kai should have short hair… But whether he is or not, I think he must be insane!"
An elder dressed in a black leisure robe, with the characters 'Xuan Wu' on his chest, narrowed his eyes slightly and said to the woman beside him, "Shishi, is he the Jiang Kai you guys keep mentioning?"
At this time, He Shishi's eyes were firmly locked on Jiang Kai, with intense killing intent in them.
Originally, He Shishi was a guild master-level figure in Ji Hui, and was entrusted with important tasks, sent to District 18 to deal with the troubles left by Huang Tong. But just two months after taking office, the Ji Department of District 18 was disbanded. Now He Shishi can only temporarily remain at headquarters.
He Shishi hated Jiang Kai down to the bones!
"Second Elder, he is Jiang Kai! Even if he left hair on his head, even if he turned into ash, I would still recognize him!" He Shishi stared at Jiang Kai, saying fiercely, "He actually dared to come to the betting tournament!"
Jiang Kai not only came, but also didn't even wear a mask, announcing his name as soon as he took the stage…
The Second Elder placed both hands behind his back, his gaze falling on Jiang Kai, snorted coldly, "Does this person think that just because he won the Global Conquest Tournament, he's invincible? That can't be, to drive the Huang family into such a miserable state, he shouldn't be a reckless person... I actually can't see what he intends!"
He Shishi snorted coldly, "Second Elder is overthinking. He only reached second rank four months ago, and definitely hasn't reached third rank now. On what basis could he be invincible!"
Saying this, He Shishi glanced at the Xuan Wu disciple opposite Jiang Kai, a cold sneer forming on her lips, "Our Xuan Wu's final twenty defending disciples are all top-level experts among fourth ranks."
"Jiang Kai, I was just worrying about how to get revenge, and you delivered yourself to my door. I don't care what tricks you want to play, this time, both your Ji Fen and your life will stay!"
Jiang Kai looked at the opponent in front of him, about 1.8 meters tall. When he heard Jiang Kai's bet, he was stunned for a moment.
With a cold snort, Jiang Kai directly stepped onto a Xuan Wu back-shell pattern near the center of the Xuan Wu diagram.
Suddenly, the person opposite spoke.
"Jiang Kai from District 18, so it's you! You actually dared to come here!"
Jiang Kai frowned and said, "Why wouldn't I dare? I don't like gambling, but since there's a competition, I'll participate if I want. Why do you care so much?"
"You!" That person ground his teeth in hatred, but unfortunately couldn't explain Jiang Kai's monstrous crimes against Xuan Wu here.
For Xuan Wu, having one Ji Department removed was absolutely a humiliation, and it couldn't be talked about too much in public!
That person took a deep breath, calming his emotions.
"You dared to bet 5000 Ji Fen, thinking you could win big from me?" That person snorted coldly, "I understand, you probably don't know who I am, which is why you have such delusions."
"Since you've already placed your bet, I'll reveal a little information to you! I've roamed Ghost Star for seven years, and have only died seven times, never lost among my rank!"
"If I remember correctly, a few months ago you had just reached second rank. Now, it's impossible for you to have reached fourth rank. It's always been me challenging higher ranks. You actually dare to challenge up?"
"I'll soon let you know how foolish your decision was!"
Jiang Kai sighed, "You think I wanted to bet 5000? Ji Fen is too hard to earn, especially for a small association like mine, sigh, too difficult… I only have this much Ji Fen."
The man's eyes widened — Jiang Kai hadn't listened to a word of his brilliant combat achievements.
This clearly meant he wasn't even being taken seriously!
Speaking of which, for a small association like Lord God to have over 5000 Ji Fen, others would be secretly overjoyed, but he was still acting poor!
The man roared, "Arrogant! I'll make sure you won't even get a chance to beg for mercy!"
A countdown appeared on the ground, and the battle between the two sides was about to begin.
The man entered combat readiness — he had already drawn two longswords, the eyes beneath his mask filled with a hint of disdain, "I heard your attacks are terrifying, but too bad you're facing me. Against absolute attribute suppression, I fear you won't even touch my shadow!"
[Three, two, one, match start!]
Everyone in the arena stared at the battlefield, too tense to even breathe.
Many of them didn't know who Jiang Kai was, nor who the defender from Xuan Wu was.
But everyone was incredibly nervous.
The only reason was — this was an absolute high-stakes gamble!
"Jiang Kai, let me show you, what speed really is!"
"Battle Will Rampage!" The man wielded his twin swords, his figure suddenly bursting out, turning into a black shadow shooting toward Jiang Kai, "Rapid Assassination!"
Seeing him strike, Ouyang Yi's eyes widened, "So fast! This guy has two speed-boost talents? No good, that brat is doomed!"
Before the man even got close to Jiang Kai, he had already slashed his twin swords.
At the moment of attack, two purple sword energies shot forth like wild horses out of control, heading straight for Jiang Kai!
"Purple true qi? Only fourth rank and already has a layer of true qi! Wait, I know who he is — he's Xiang Wenjie of the Xuan Wu Triumvirate!"
"Xiang Wenjie? Top 50 in the War God Temple's prep camp?"
"That's him. Xiang Wenjie is incredibly fast, and his purple true qi is extremely refined, it has terrifying…"
Before the words finished, Jiang Kai had already moved!
Jiang Kai sidestepped, instantly shifting seven or eight meters, dodging the sword energy.
After circling to Xiang Wenjie's side, Jiang Kai shot ten black shadows from his hands in quick succession!
At this moment, even without activating Gambler's Time, Jiang Kai's attack speed was already absurd. Ten flying knives came out almost simultaneously, hitting Xiang Wenjie in the blink of an eye!
Xiang Wenjie's armor burst with a bright light, a light shield forming at the hit spots, trying to block Chase Life.
However, the third Chase Life scored a critical hit — although it didn't pierce Xiang Wenjie's armor, the tremendous force smashed into him, and his originally high-speed charging body was blown sideways!
Xiang Wenjie felt like he had been hit by a ten-ton sledgehammer — half his body was instantly paralyzed!
"What... what kind of attack is this…"
Jiang Kai wasn't just strong in attack. Since when were his attack and movement speeds so exaggerated?
He hadn't even seen Jiang Kai move!
Bang! Xiang Wenjie crashed heavily to the ground. The impact was so great he couldn't get up for a while.
He struggled to lift his head, looking toward Jiang Kai in shock.
Just one exchange — and he was already severely injured by Jiang Kai?!
At this moment, Jiang Kai didn't pursue. He slowly walked toward the formation flag Xiang Wenjie was guarding and grabbed the flagpole.
"Speaking of which, I really like the rules of the betting tournament… as long as I pull out the flag, I win, right?" Saying so, Jiang Kai exerted force in his hand and directly pulled out the Xuan Wu formation flag.
The moment the Xuan Wu banner was pulled out, the entire Jingwu Square, suddenly — fell into utter silence!
