Chapter 1899: Massive Wager

Zhao Ming Cheng only then suddenly realized why Ye Liuyun asked that.

Even she can hold her own, how could Ye Liuyun not be a match for that Barbarian Bear?

So she suddenly became curious, wanting to see what Ye Liuyun's true combat power looks like after using True Essence.

But she still warned Ye Liuyun: "You also need to be careful; on the arena, treasures, pets, and Kuailei can be used! Watch out for those people using some underhanded tricks."

"Hmm!" Ye Liuyun also nodded seriously, indeed should be a bit more careful.

He immediately took out a fifth‑grade armor and put it over his gilded armor, fearing the gilded armor would be damaged.

Since pets and Kuailei can also be used on the arena, he became even less worried.

They rushed to the arena, where two Martial Cultivators were fighting, making quite a lively scene; many onlookers were betting and cheering for the side they backed.

At the betting table, Guan Shan Yue saw Ye Liuyun arrive and also gave a snarling smile.

He immediately ordered someone to arrange that the next round would pit Ye Liuyun against the Barbarian Bear.

Ye Liuyun also handed a Storage Ring to Lei Ming, then used Transmission Voice to give her a few instructions, telling her to place a bet later.

Lei Ming answered with a mischievous grin.

Soon after the Martial Cultivators on the stage finished fighting, the Barbarian Bear leapt onto the arena and challenged Ye Liuyun.

The many Martial Cultivators below were all familiar with the Barbarian Bear, but were strangers to Ye Liuyun.

"Barbarian Bear, finally showing ambition! Challenging a newcomer!" some Martial Cultivators taunted the Barbarian Bear.

Ye Liuyun walked slowly onto the arena, drew the Demon Slaying Sword, and provocatively pointed at Guan Shan Yue, leaving the Martial Cultivators below stunned.

"What a pity your trash‑level strength is too weak; otherwise others wouldn't have to die for you!" Ye Liuyun said calmly.

"Huh!"

The Martial Cultivators below immediately erupted into a frenzy.

"What's going on? This kid dares to provoke Guan Shan Yue?"

"Haha, now this is worth watching! So the Barbarian Bear is Guan Shan Yue's henchman!"

When Ye Liuyun said that, everyone immediately understood.

Guan Shan Yue, however, smiled grimly: "Your odds are one to three, the Barbarian Bear is one to one; want to place a bet, gamble on yourself winning? Before you die, you can still let me earn a bit of money from you!"

Ye Liuyun laughed and said, "That's exactly my intention! But I'm afraid you can't afford to pay up!"

"This guy really knows the game, without me exerting effort, he slipped himself into the trap!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

"Can't pay? Haha, go ahead and bet; if today I can't pay you, I'll just lose the whole casino to you!" Guan Shan Yue and his companions all laughed together.

Some Martial Cultivators shook their heads, thinking Ye Liuyun was a newcomer and didn't know Guan Shan Yue's strength.

"If the casino doesn't satisfy me, I want you to be my slave; do you dare to agree? If you dare to agree, I'll keep betting on myself to win until you can't pay!" Ye Liuyun deliberately provoked him.

"Fine. If you don't dare to bet, then be my slave as well!" Guan Shan Yue replied nonchalantly.

"Go place the bet!" Ye Liuyun said directly to Lei Ming.

"Alright!" Lei Ming cheerfully agreed, walked straight to the betting table and shouted, "Bet, wager Ye Liuyun to win, Divine Crystal three hundred billion."

"Ah!"

The Martial Cultivators below all let out a unified "Ah!"

Such a huge wager startled everyone.

"Did I hear that right? It's three hundred billion, right?"

"Heavens, where did this rich guy come from!" many Martial Cultivators kept exclaiming, unable to say anything else.

Zhao Ming Cheng also hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to produce so many Divine Crystals.

Because they had chatted while eating, Ye Liuyun hadn't exchanged the Body Refining Pill.

"Make sure you check it, and don't default later!" Lei Ming's voice rang out then, reminding the bet‑taking Martial Cultivator.

After confirming, the Martial Cultivator looked at Guan Shan Yue.

Ye Liuyun also deliberately glanced at Guan Shan Yue.

Guan Shan Yue said indifferently, "Hmph! This small amount means nothing to me. Take it!"

He has run the casino here for years, and his fortune is still substantial.

Ye Liuyun nodded satisfactorily and deliberately said, "Hope you can keep being this bold forever!"

On this arena, after a Martial Cultivator steps onto the stage, there is a period for betting; the fight doesn't start immediately.

The Barbarian Bear opposite also grew nervous at this moment.

With such a huge wager, if he loses, Guan Shan Yue will surely skin him later.

He now felt a bit regretful. Had he known Ye Liuyun could do such a reckless thing, he wouldn't have taken the job. But he issued the challenge; now if he backs out, it's a loss, so he can only grit his teeth and fight on.

He had already prepared, and as soon as he stepped up he launched a full‑force attack, knocking Ye Liuyun down in one go.

The arena also has a Steward Elder overseeing it. He only shouts "Start" and prevents others from intervening; he doesn't concern himself with how the two fight once they're on stage.

The audience below originally bet more on the Barbarian Bear, since it's more famous here. But seeing Ye Liuyun's ferocity, many also placed bets on Ye Liuyun.

"What's there to fear? He's already put so much of his fortune on the line; can he still lose?" some Martial Cultivators thought.

After everyone finished betting, the Elder shouted "Start", and the audience fell silent, watching the battle on stage.

The fight itself wasn't unusual; it was the massive sum that made the atmosphere so tense.

The Barbarian Bear let out a roar and charged at Ye Liuyun with full force.

Ye Liuyun calmly swung a single slash, striking directly at the Barbarian Bear.

He trained in the Body Refining Hall, not only strengthening his Physical Body but also enhancing his sword intent.

After leaving the Body Refining Hall and returning to Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate for a while, his sword‑intent seed immediately evolved again.

The green on the sword‑intent seed had almost faded, becoming a white blade. Its shape resembled the Demon Slaying Sword.

Moreover, this slash by Ye Liuyun employed Heaven and Earth Power and Spatial Power.

Ye Liuyun's Yi Dao slashed out, then appeared before Barbarian Bear. Immediately, with a "Chi"—sound, the blade light directly cut across Barbarian Bear's Physical Body, cleaving him diagonally in two.

"Sss."

A wave of cold‑air gasp rose from the audience.

No one expected Ye Liuyun to win so easily.

"This kid's blade intent is strong! Barbarian Bear's Physical Body was originally very strong, yet he was cleaved by a single Yi Dao!"

"And he also wielded Spatial Power; anyone whose strength is insufficient for this Yi Dao is bound to die!"

The crowd began to discuss, then all turned their gaze toward Guan Shanyue.

Guan Shanyue lost big on the first Yi Dao.

Ye Liuyun smiled and looked at Guan Shanyue: "Find someone stronger, and I'll wait right here!"

"You…" Guan Shanyue hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to be so far stronger than Barbarian Bear.

But with so many eyes on them, they certainly couldn't swallow that humiliation. To win back the resources they had lost, they immediately began searching for more opponents.
