Chapter 79 The Gambling Game of the Demon Kings (two chapters in one, available tomorrow)
Although the clown's voice was soft, who among the people present couldn't hear it?

There was a pause.

The deep black shadow let out a deep laugh and said:
"For many years, I never thought that a rookie card master would dare to refuse my deal, dare to ask my real name, and want to deal with me one day in the future..."

In the shadow, a hand stretched out, as if to draw something in the void.

Yana suddenly laughed.

She shook her head and said with emotion: "I didn't expect to encounter such a situation so soon, and I didn't expect that I would be for a novice... Forget it, Liu Ping, remember your promise."

"A demon king? Of course it's not a problem." The clown gestured.

"I will turn my head away when others say this, but when it comes from your mouth, I kind of believe it."

As Yana said, she stretched out her hand and pulled it forcefully from the void.

The black shadow on the opposite side drew a card at the same time as her.

Hei Ying handed the card to Blood Knight Luo Sheng, and said in a low voice:

"Take this card, Blood Knight, it can help you defeat your opponent."

Luo Sheng looked at the card, and saw a magnificent arena drawn on the card.

A group of dark shadows wearing crowns sat in the stands of the arena, surrounded by mountains of treasures.

"The game of the demon kings!" Luo Sheng couldn't help but shouted.

"Yes, it's this card. Remember, the reward you owe me is now doubled." Hei Ying said fiercely.

Opposite them, Yana also drew out a card, and saw a strange emblem drawn on the card, except for this emblem, the entire card was blank.

"I knew they were going to use the 'Gamble of the Demon Kings', only that card can give the Blood Knight a huge chance of winning, so we can only—"

Yana gritted her teeth and threw out the emblem card in her hand.

Bang!
A soft sound.

A silver-haired old man in a black tuxedo appeared in the field.

He took Yana's hand in a graceful manner, kissed it symbolically, and said, "It's really unfortunate, ma'am, you have fallen into such a situation."

"Ups and downs, fate is nothing more than that." Yana said calmly.

"You have a natural elegance." The old man praised.

When the old man appeared, Blood Knight Luo Sheng was about to throw the cards in his hand.

——His hand was held down by the shadow.

"Wait a moment." Black Shadow said in a deep voice.

The old man seemed to have a sense of it, and turned his head to greet the black shadow: "Good afternoon, today is really lively, and you are all here."

Hei Ying said: "Your Excellency, do you want to meddle in this matter?"

"No, my business has always been very busy, but a reputable business partner called me to come, so I will come." The old man said with a smile on his face.

He glanced at Yana.

Yana said: "You know, I have never brought you a loss-making business."

"Yes, even if it's just to express my gratitude, I should come too." The old man said.

"When I'm free, I don't dare to bother you to come in person...but I found a lucrative investment, if you're interested..." Yana didn't continue, just looked at the old man.

The coldness in the old man's eyes completely disappeared, he turned around and brought out two glasses of red wine from the void, one was handed to Yana, the other was held in his hand, and he shook it lightly, "I've always been interested in making money."

A streak of dark red flames flew out of him and turned into a wall, isolating the conversation here.

The old man said: "Now that guy can't hear our conversation, the business you are talking about is—"

Yana smiled and said, "What I want to talk about is exactly this 'gambling game of the devil kings'."

"It seems that you are all quite free——wait a minute, do you want me to take a gamble with you for the business you mentioned?" The old man yawned, as if he was listless.

Yana said: "I remember that I have deposited a lot of treasure in your bank. This time, I will go all-in."

The old man's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the drowsy look just now disappeared.

"All in..." the old man tentatively asked.

"Yes, all in." Yana said.

"What do you want me to do?" the old man asked.

"As long as you are here, no devil will dare to cheat. I just want you to preside over this game." Yana said.

"You want me to bet with you?" the old man asked.

"The profit is huge." Yana said.

"So, I'm nothing but a white wolf." The old man laughed.

Yana bowed and bowed, solemnly said: "It is an honor for all of us to stand here."

The old man murmured, his eyes turned to the opposite side, he glanced at the black shadow and the blood knight, then looked back, and landed on the clown.

"Son, do you know what the devil's game is?" he asked kindly.

"I don't know." The clown said.

He stared at the other party, only to see lines of burning small characters appearing above the other party's head:
"Old god."

"?????????"

"The incarnation of the ancient devil king."

"???????????"

"The only explanation: He dominates all the worlds in a certain level of purgatory."

The clown glanced over.He opened the mouth and said: "If there is a secret in this regard, I can pay for it."

When the old man heard the word "pay", he immediately smiled and said, "Ah, many things in the world are fair. Although I have a lot of business, I still don't even charge for this."

The old man took out a parchment, handed it to the clown, and then watched the clown quietly.

The clown quickly read it, with a smile on his face and said: "This game seems to accept all existing chips."

"Yes, it's an open deathmatch, and no one is prohibited from betting." The old man nodded.

"Collect the spirit stone?" the clown asked.

"Lingshi? It turns out to be the currency of the practice side. It is a non-renewable currency. The market has been good. You can bet on it." There was a little smile on the old man's expression.

The clown glanced at Yana and said, "I'm all in, betting on myself to win."

The old man asked: "How much do you bet?"

"54 billion."

"...Excuse me, how much?"

"54 billion."

The old man looked at him, took back a piece of parchment and a pen from behind, and said slowly: "Please sign the betting contract, if you don't have enough money—"

The clown took the pen, looked at the prompt in the void, and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he signed the betting contract.

The old man's expression remained unchanged, he took back the parchment, looked at it carefully, and murmured: "There are really 54 billion..."

Lingshi is nothing.

Money never counts, what matters is people—

It is rare for a newcomer to get such an amount of money in a long time.

He was very determined from beginning to end and signed the contract.

That kind of bombastic guy can't do that.

He really has a way of making money.

"But there is one condition." The clown said.

"What?" the old man asked.

The clown held up a finger as a gesture of silence, and lowered his voice, "We'll bet last."

"Haha, interesting, very interesting!" The old man laughed loudly.

Yana stared blankly at the clown.

The clown said to her, "This money is nothing—in fact, earning living expenses has always been a very important thing in my life."

The old man smiled and said: "That's right, for an existence like me, I have a big family to support, so at this age, I have to go out and run around."

He patted the clown on the shoulder and whispered, "Are you sure you will win?"

"I don't dare to speak big words. If it's those who like to take risks, they won't be able to keep making profits like me, right?" The clown lowered his voice.

Yana also looked at the old man, and said softly, "Look—"

The old man was silent for a while, and suddenly began to arrange his tuxedo.

"Gambling... I haven't played this kind of game for a long time, it's too risky, and it will make the heartbeat of an old man like me speed up - but since it's such a big deal, not only the gods have invested all their net worth, but the parties have also invested 54 billion spirits Stone's bet—"

"It's already worthy of my own end."

The clown leaned over and whispered in the old man's ear: "The only thing you need to do for a distinguished person like you is to let those guys keep investing money, so that we can make a profit, right?"

The old man thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Deal."

He waved his hand, and the isolated flames immediately dispersed.

"Your Excellency, do you want to intervene in this matter?" asked the black shadow opposite.

"No, I just want to participate in your betting. I think the blood knight has a better chance of winning. I'm sorry, ma'am."

The old man smiled apologetically at Yana, and strode towards the center of the venue.

A streak of dark light and shadow flew out from behind him, flying in all directions, and gradually enveloped the area within a radius of tens of miles.

On the ground, the mud and weeds have long since disappeared, replaced by endless skeletons.

The old man walked towards the center of the field step by step, and those skeletons kept appearing under his feet, turning into a ladder of bones, leading to the mountain of bones that gradually piled up in front of him.

On the top of that mountain, a huge throne made of millions of bones has already appeared.

The old man sat down on the throne.

Sitting on such a huge and terrifying throne, his thin and small figure looked extremely inappropriate, but the faint shadow that appeared behind him was so huge and hideous, covering the terrifying bone seat appropriately.

The old man said:

"This gamble is witnessed by me."

The card in Blood Knight Luo Sheng's hand broke free immediately, flew up the White Bone Mountain, and landed in the old man's hand.

The old man stared at the cards and said softly: "Demon kings, the game is about to start, anyone who wants to make a profit comes here."

Cards are thrown.

In an instant, a wind blew up in the void.

There were whispers coming from nowhere, and then, black shadows emerged quietly.

These black shadows fell on the White Bone Mountain, saluted the old man one after another, and then looked into the field.

The old man said: "A blood knight, a newcomer card master who has just been promoted, their deathmatch will begin immediately, and the card master who loses the deathmatch will be deprived of everything - now accept bets."

All the black shadows looked at the blood knight, and then at the clown.

"The clown... is still a rookie... hehe..."

The old man smiled and shook his head, stretched out his hand and pulled out a golden bone from the throne of bones, threw it out and said, "I'll be the first to bet, and I'll bet on the Blood Knight to win."

Yana glanced at the clown.

The clown kept trembling, and reluctantly nodded at her.

Yana said softly, "Are you nervous?"

"I've never encountered such an interesting event, and I can't wait!" The clown excitedly said.

Only the voice of the old man came from afar: "As the first bettor, my rule is—"

"fair."

"Under the principle of fairness, you can't operate in the dark, break the rules, and set up tricks in private. If anyone does this, it's tantamount to disappointing me, and it's too boring."

His eyes suddenly turned into a pair of vertical pupils, he grinned and showed his sharp teeth, and said with a light smile: "People who spoil my interest, don't mess around anymore."

The whole place was silent.

"Now, you can bet." The old man said.

Beside the blood knight, the black shadow took out a bag and threw it into the void.

The old man glanced at it, frowned and said, "The Rotten Demon King, I voted for a real ancient bone, and you, as the initiator, only voted for such a small thing? Don't play if you can't afford it."

The black shadow hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to take out another bag and throw it into the void, humming: "This is half of my net worth, all-in on the Blood Knight to win."

"Yes, this way, the game will be interesting." The old man laughed.

Hei Ying said, "Can I tell you the conditions?"

"Please." The old man said.

"They were on the battlefield—when the death fight started, their weapons had already pierced each other's body." Soi Ying said.

The blood knight Luo Sheng met the black shadow's gaze, and said loudly: "In this way, I can draw cards and personalize the cards, and prevent him from escaping—with my armor and blood spear, I will definitely win!" .”

Sombra nodded, somewhat relieved.

"Is there anyone else betting?" the old man asked.

On the Bone Mountain, a black shadow threw a box full of gems and said, "I bet the Blood Knight wins, and my condition is—"

"They are in the midst of the battlefield, and no matter who makes the move to escape, it is immediately deemed to have lost the deathmatch."

"One more betting person is needed!" the old man shouted.

Another black shadow stood up and said with a smile, "It's getting more and more fun. I'll bet on the Blood Knight on the condition that—"

"They were going up in the beginning, and there wasn't room for two people in that space."

"The three conditions are met, and the deathmatch begins!" the old man announced.

Two black lights descended from the sky, enveloped the blood knight and the clown, and disappeared instantly.

……

Flesh and blood flew.

Cannonballs roared, and the sound of machine gun fire was endless.

There was the roar of fighter jets in the sky.

On the ground, mechanized troops are rushing into the battlefield, merging with several tall mobile armors.

At this moment, in the depths of the battlefield, on a rocket launch pad, the mechanical electronic sound was counting down:

"five,"

"Four,"

"three,"

"two,"

"one."

"ignition!"

boom--

The rocket tens of meters high exploded with a deafening roar, and began to climb towards the depths of the sky.

At this moment, two people appeared on the top of the rocket.

Blood Knight.

clown.

The blood spear pierced the clown's body, and the long knife passed through the blood knight's chest.

"This is a gamble for the devil kings, you are finished, Liu Ping."

Luo's long spear shook, and countless drops of blood flew out of the clown's wound and fell into his hand.

He was about to draw a card.

The clown grinned and said, "Do you know who is the devil?"

Layers of frost gushed out from the long knife, Luo Sheng just drew out a card in his hand, and was frozen in place by the frost.

The clown greeted the rabbit on the long knife slightly, and took out the candy box from his arms with the other hand, opened the box with difficulty, took out a red candy, and pressed it firmly into the frost.

——This is the sacred bullet set that is also exclusive when the double-barreled shotgun is exclusive.

"Go and see the scenery."

He kicked Luo Sheng who was frozen in the frost, and immediately performed a trick to stop the bleeding and heal himself.

The rocket continued to accelerate and flew towards the sky with the clown.

And the mass of frost fell to the ground like a meteor——

boom!
Sparks splash.

That candy in Frost exploded!
The clown looked down for a moment, only to see a black dot chasing after the rocket at an extremely fast speed.

Blood Knight Luo Sheng!

The battle armor on his body was cracked a few times, thick smoke was blowing out, and he looked a little embarrassed.

——But a winged one-horned skeleton warhorse appeared under his crotch!
It seems that he still drew that card and made it exclusive.

The Blood Knight flew closer and closer, and laughed loudly: "It's useless, Liu Ping, I have weapons, armor and a mount now, and you don't even have a chance to escape."

"Escape?"

The clown pulled out the Gatling M134 rotary machine gun from the void, then opened the candy box, picked out six yellow candies and stuffed them into the machine gun.

"A time-limited bullet can last for 10 minutes. I'd like to see how you fly here."

The clown raises his machine gun—

Da da da da da da da da!

Flames spewed out from the rotary machine gun continuously, turning into flying red lines, and ruthlessly bombarded the galloping skeleton horse.

The war horse neighed uncontrollably and couldn't get close to the rocket for a while.

Luo Sheng had no choice but to pull the rein, and made an arc, trying to attack from the side.

But the flying speed of the rocket was too fast, and the firepower in the hands of the clown was too fierce. He rode the skeleton horse and flew around, and was hit by the passing line of fire many times, but he didn't find a chance to get close.

The two sides stalemate for dozens of seconds.

The clown suddenly gestured.

Seeing this, the rabbit floating in mid-air uttered a long cry, and slapped its claws hard on the Gatling revolver.

next moment.

I saw streaks of hoarfrost on the dense line of fire that flew out.

A line of fire hit the skeletal horse and immediately froze its left wing. The horse couldn't help but staggered in mid-air, almost sending Luo Sheng flying.

The clown laughed loudly and said, "It's hard to play, Luo Sheng!"

It held the rotary machine gun with one hand, and drew it into the void with the other.

A card was drawn out immediately.

"You have drawn the card: Sword Repair Armor."

"Armor, practice side."

"It is the battle armor used by sword repairers to charge into battle, and it can effectively resist attacks from weapons and spells."

next moment.

I saw that all the small burning characters changed——

"You caused an incident and completed a 'please'."

"Card: Sword Repair Armor."

"Because the person using this card is a clown, this card has been transformed into a clown exclusive prop."

"You got the card: Joker's Phantom Jacket."

"This is your exclusive item. You don't need to explain this sequence. You naturally know how to use it."

Bang!
A leather jacket painted with colorful patterns was worn by the clown.

"It's even harder for you to hit me."

The clown whispered.

The Gatling machine gun shot out streaks of frost and fire, hitting Luo Sheng almost to a standstill.

Suddenly, a voice came from the void:
"It's time for me to make a bet. I bet on the Blood Knight to win. This time I want the rocket to explode and see who can win in the next fight."

Then another voice sounded:
"I bet too, the clown is a newcomer, he probably doesn't have many cards - then I will prohibit him from using the existing weapon cards - Your Excellency, don't look at me like this, well, the blood knight's spear must also Prohibited use, they have to find a new way to fight."

Without warning—

There was a rapidly approaching buzzing sound in the distance.

missile!

I saw a missile flying towards the flames and directly hit the rocket that was taking off.

boom! ! !
Amidst the sound of explosions in the distance, both the clown and the blood knight were blown away by the strong wind.

The Gatling machine gun in the clown's hand and the long knife on his waist disappeared instantly.

The rabbit floating in mid-air seemed to have sensed something, let out an unwilling howl, and glanced at Liu Ping reluctantly.

——It also disappeared in mid-air.

On the other side, the blood spear in the blood knight's hand also disappeared.

"Prohibit the use of current weapons? It doesn't matter, I have more cards—even if it is an ordinary weapon card, I have more cards than you."

Luo Sheng murmured.

He looked down to the ground.

This is a high-intensity large-scale war, and the armies of both sides are fighting.

Luo Sheng's eyes lit up.

"As long as there is blood of the dead..."

He regained his stature, but he was not in a hurry to fight the clown, he just sat on the skeleton horse and chanted a long spell.

In the void behind him, a cloud of blood mist gradually condensed, turning into raindrops and falling towards the ground.

The clown watched coldly, then suddenly turned around and landed on a passing fighter jet.

He squatted down, punched the cockpit open, and pressed a button hard on the pilot's side.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The pilot uttered a terrified cry as the flight seat vacated.

The clown jumped into the cockpit, glanced casually at the densely packed instruments and buttons, and said with a smile, "It's all an outdated layout."

He held the flight handle in one hand, and pressed seven or eight buttons in succession with the other.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The six missiles dragged a long tail flame and quickly made a sonic boom, chasing after the blood knight.

one second.

two seconds.

boom--

There was the sound of missile explosions in the sky, and the blood mist spread out and continued to disperse, as if the whole world was soaked in blood.

The clown turned a deaf ear.

"Dangdang, let me see, what color candies..."

He fished out the candy box, filled the magazine with colorful candy, and inserted it into a pistol.

——This is the self-defense pistol that Old K gave him when he was in Dark Fog Town.

After finishing all this, the clown jumped out of the cockpit, stood on the nose of the plane, and pointed the pistol at the blood mist flying in the sky.

wait.

wait--

The wind was blowing, and the clown's colorful jacket was buzzing.

Suddenly, a skeletal horse flew out of the blood mist.

"Die, Liu Ping!"

Luo Sheng roared on his horse.

I saw him holding a heavy sword in both hands, swooping down on the clown!

"—If no one continues to invest money in you within 3 minutes, I will kill you."

The clown finished speaking with a smile, and pulled the trigger in his hand.
