Leaving the Casino

Gradually, several burly men with fierce appearances emerged from the group of gamblers. They walked up to Xuan Ye, grabbed his white robe tightly, and shouted, "Kid, are you doing this on purpose? You won the previous few times, but you lost this time. Tell me, are you doing this on purpose? Are you doing this on purpose?"

"Excuse me, do I know you? What does your loss have to do with me?" To the others, Xuan Ye had a blank expression, seemingly unafraid of the burly men.

"It's all because of you that we lost money, so you have to compensate us for all the money we lost."

As they talked, the burly men revealed a playful smile, walked over to where Xuan Ye had kept his winnings, and reached out to take them all.

At this moment, Xuan Ye's face was full of coldness, and a murderous aura had quietly appeared in his heart. His heart, which was originally as calm as a still lake, was also quietly changing.

Just as the burly men were about to reach out and take the silver notes that Xuan Ye had placed on the table, the atmosphere suddenly turned icy.

"Heh! As long as you dare to extend your filthy hand, as long as you dare to take those silver notes I put on the table, you will regret it."

The atmosphere was deathly silent. Xuan Ye quickly suppressed the murderous aura in his heart, and the chill in the room disappeared as well.

"What just happened? Why did I suddenly feel afraid of that brat? He's just a kid who hasn't even grown his first hair yet. I don't need to be afraid."

With this thought in mind, and knowing that all the gamblers around him were watching, he knew he couldn't back down; he had to be ruthless this time.

"Haha! You said I'd regret taking your money, well then I'm going to take your money today. I'll stand here and see how you make me regret it."

Soon the burly man burst into laughter, a laugh directed not only at Xuan Ye but also at the other gamblers.

"Hmph!" Xuan Ye merely snorted coldly, looking at the burly man with a sneer, doing nothing but standing there watching.

Seeing Xuan Ye's actions, the burly man began to mutter to himself, "This kid looks weak, but he has quite the aura. It seems his family is quite powerful. I'm just taking a little money from him and will run away as soon as I'm done. The world is so big, I don't believe his family can find me."

The burly man glanced at where Xuan Ye had put the money and silently estimated in his mind that the huge pile of money should be no less than ten million taels of silver. With that money, he could live for a lifetime. So what was there to be afraid of? He would take the money and run, and leave that brat alone.

After thinking silently for a while, the burly man quickly put on a smile again and, wanting to show off in front of others, swiftly stretched out his very thick hands.

Xuan Ye reached out and grabbed the pile of money. Just as the burly man was about to leave with all the silver notes, Xuan Ye made his move.

When no one was paying attention, Xuan Ye reached out his right hand and quietly took out a dark, sharp Kunai from the pocket inside his white robe.

And even at one-tenth of the fastest speed, it was still easy to cut off the strong man's arms.

After all, Xuan Ye's physical strength is at the Chunin level, and he also has the fourfold physical enhancement from the Divine Combat Skill, so his physique is four times stronger than that of a normal Chunin. Even one-tenth of that speed is terrifying.

"Puff!"

With a loud bang, Xuan Ye cruelly sliced open the strong man's arms. If you looked closely, you could see that the cut on the man's arms was very smooth. To achieve such smoothness, one must have great strength and skill in applying force, and Xuan Ye happened to possess both.

With a snap, the burly man's arms fell to the ground, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the severed ends. Everyone at the scene was stunned, standing there dumbfounded.

They hadn't expected, they hadn't expected at all, that the kid in front of them would be so ruthless. But it wasn't that they couldn't accept the ruthlessness; what they couldn't accept was that this kid possessed such speed and such great strength.

None of the gamblers present saw Xuan Ye make a move. By the time they realized what was happening, the burly man who had tried to take the silver note had already lost both arms to the ground, with a large amount of bright red blood gushing from the broken ends.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

After the burly man came to his senses, he saw his two strong arms fall to the ground. A sharp pain shot from the broken part of his arm into his brain. The pain was so intense that it was like being in hell.

Tears and snot streamed down the burly man's face. The intense pain caused him to temporarily lose some of his functions, and his pants gradually became wet. His face was so distorted that it was unrecognizable.

At this moment, all the gamblers present were terrified. Their faces turned pale. This did not mean that they had never tasted blood before, but rather that they were completely powerless to resist such an attack, which caused the hidden fear in their hearts to be released.

After this happened, Xuan Ye's interest in gambling vanished completely.

However, despite this incident, the casino owner did not come forward to defend the burly man. Instead, a few of the casino's guards appeared, carried the man away, and left.

Actually, it wasn't that the casino owner was absent; the casino owner happened to be somewhere inside the casino. As soon as he saw Xuan Ye's attack, he knew that this kid was no ordinary person; he must be a powerful ninja.

This is why the shop owner didn't want to cause trouble for Xuan Ye.

Xuan Ye quickly put the silver notes belonging to him on the table into the backpack on his back, glanced at the casino, sneered, and left.

After leaving the casino, Xuan Ye thought about many things.

I have been away from Konoha for almost a month, and during this time I have been running around almost every day, so I have hardly had any time to calm down and cultivate.

Although you might kill some ferocious beasts during your journey and gain some extra chakra proficiency and physical strength proficiency, it still can't compare to the proficiency points gained from a whole day of training.

Furthermore, one cannot encounter powerful beasts every day, nor can one be as lucky as before. Therefore, the importance of cultivation has gradually become apparent.

"It's about time I found a place to cultivate in seclusion for a while," Xuan Ye thought to himself as he looked up at the town.
