Azure Cloud Token Obtained

"Bet... bet on small?"

Liang Feng's laughter, like a duck with its throat squeezed, abruptly stopped.

He widened his eyes, looking at Chen Chen in disbelief, then at the pile of chips resting on the "small" character.

Is this guy crazy?

He had just said, "I'm with you," and now he's betting on small?

Is he playing with me?

The onlookers around were also completely bewildered.

They had all thought Chen Chen wanted a draw, but at the last moment, he unexpectedly bet on small.

"What is this guy... trying to do?"

"Just bluffing, right? I think he was scared by Young Master Liang's aura and just placed a random bet."

"Could be. What kind of insight can a kid at the Fifth Level of Body Tempering have?"

The discussions were filled with contempt for Chen Chen.

Only Steward Wang gave Chen Chen a deep look, a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

His intuition told him that the gray-clothed youth before him, who had been unnervingly calm the entire time, was definitely not a simple character.

"Hmph! Playing mysterious!"

Liang Feng snapped back to reality, a sinister sneer appearing on his face.

"Kid, you're dead! I'm telling you, my luck, Liang Feng's luck, is about to turn around today! This round, it's definitely... big!"

He shouted it almost like a roar, as if that would boost his confidence.

"Is that so?" Chen Chen finally spoke, his voice laced with a hint of faint mockery. "Then we shall... wait and see."

"Open! Steward Wang, open it for me!" Liang Feng couldn't wait to see Chen Chen's face contorted in despair after losing everything.

Steward Wang nodded, his gaze sweeping across both their faces before finally, slowly, reaching out and grasping the dice cup.

Everyone held their breath at that moment.

The entire second floor was so quiet you could hear your own heartbeat.

Click.

The dice cup was slowly lifted.

Three white jade dice lay quietly on the gambling table.

The numbers on them were clearly visible to everyone.

One.

Two.

Three.

One, two, three, a total of six points, small!

The entire world seemed to have its mute button pressed at that moment.

Time itself seemed to freeze.

Liang Feng's ferocious and fanatical expression instantly froze, then, little by little, was replaced by endless shock and bewilderment.

The bloodshot veins in his eyes seemed to recede, leaving only a deathly gray.

"No... no... impossible..."

He muttered to himself, like a lost soul, his body involuntarily stepping back and bumping into the guard behind him.

"How could it be small? How could it be... six points small?"

He couldn't accept this outcome!

He clearly felt that his luck was at its peak this time!

He clearly felt that this round, it had to be big!

Why!

Why was it the smallest possible number!

"Six points, small. This customer has won."

Steward Wang's emotionless voice struck Liang Feng's heart like a heavy hammer, shattering his last shred of fantasy.

"Pfft—"

Liang Feng felt a sweet sensation in his throat, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out violently, splashing onto the gambling table and dyeing the glaring "small" character red.

"No! I don't believe it!"

He suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, like a madman, pointing at Chen Chen and roaring, "You cheated! You definitely cheated! Otherwise, it couldn't be this coincidental!"

As he spoke, he was about to pounce on Chen Chen!

"Young Master Liang, please behave yourself!"

The two guards behind him quickly held him back tightly.

In front of Chen Chen, the two Qi Condensation third-level guards who had originally been guarding the staircase had, at some unknown time, moved over. They exuded a chilling aura, staring fixedly at Liang Feng.

"In the Immortal's Abode, no one can cheat," Steward Wang's voice turned cold. "The dice cup was shaken by me personally. Everyone watched the entire process, and Young Master Liang's divine sense was locked on the whole time. If you think our Immortal's Abode cheated, fine, produce the evidence."

Liang Feng's body trembled violently.

Evidence?

Where would he get any evidence?

He was simply unwilling to accept it!

"Young Master Liang, losing is losing, don't make such an ugly scene."

"Yeah, you were calling yourself the God of Gamblers just now, what, you can't afford to lose?"

"Tsk tsk, you used the Azure Cloud Token as a bet, did you ever consider the consequences? Who are you putting on an act for now?"

The surrounding onlookers unleashed their mockery and ridicule without restraint.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes.

Just now, they had been intimidated by Liang Feng's status. Now, seeing a stray dog who had lost everything, even his family's most precious treasure, who would even spare him a glance?

These voices, like poisoned needles, pierced Liang Feng's ears, causing his already shattered nerves to completely snap.

"Ahhhhh!"

He let out a beast-like roar and violently broke free from the guards' restraint.

However, what he lunged towards was not Chen Chen.

It was the Azure Cloud Token lying quietly on the gambling table!

He wanted to snatch back his bet!

However, before his hand could touch the token.

A gray figure was faster than him!

Chen Chen's figure, like a phantom, instantly appeared before the gambling table. With one hand, he casually placed it on the Azure Cloud Token.

With his other hand, he swept the pile of chips worth a thousand Spirit Stones towards himself.

"Young Master Liang, a bet is a bet."

Chen Chen picked up the cool-to-the-touch cyan token, toying with it between his fingers, and said calmly.

"Give me back the Azure Cloud Token!" Liang Feng, like a madman, lunged at Chen Chen!

Chen Chen's eyes instantly turned cold.

He didn't even bother to make a move.

A surge of powerful Spiritual Power erupted once more!

This time, it was no longer a deterrent, but carried a hint of icy killing intent!

"Scram!"

Boom!

Liang Feng felt as if his head had been smashed by a siege hammer. His entire soul trembled!

He let out a piercing scream, his eyes rolled back, and his body went limp as if his bones had been removed. He collapsed onto the ground, completely unconscious.

Silence.

The entire second floor fell into a dead silence once more.

Everyone looked at Chen Chen in horror.

If them being shocked by him using Spiritual Power to repel two Qi Condensation third-level guards was already enough.

Then now, simply using Spiritual Pressure to directly knock out a Qi Condensation realm cultivator...

What terrifying Spiritual Cultivation was this!

This kid... what kind of monster is he?!

The two Liang Family guards also had pale faces, looking at Chen Chen with eyes full of fear.

They scrambled to Liang Feng's side and checked his breathing. Only when they confirmed he was merely unconscious did they breathe a sigh of relief.

They looked up at Chen Chen, their lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

They wanted to say something threatening, but they dared not.

They wanted to beg for mercy, but they couldn't bring themselves to do it.

In the end, one of them lifted the unconscious Liang Feng, and shamefully, wretchedly, they fled downstairs.

Chen Chen withdrew his Spiritual Pressure, put the Azure Cloud Token into his embrace, and exchanged the thousand Spirit Stone chips for actual Spirit Stones.

After completing all this, he glanced around at the onlookers who were now as silent as cicadas in winter. Without another word, he turned and prepared to leave this place of trouble.
