Gate of Immortality

Chapter 186: Betting

" Impudence! You dare to curse Young master Xu?" Another young man shouted at Yang Shi. 

" Are you Young master Xu?" Yang Shi looked at him as he asked. That young man was stunned as he heard the question.

" No, But..."

" Then shut your mouth. Since I am talking to him, why are you answering?" Yang Shi snapped back.

That young man was trying to please Xu Ao, but hearing Yang Shi, he shut his mouth.

" Haha, Your guts are very big. Even after knowing my status, you are still unyielding. Obediently hand over that jade, and I will spare you life." Xu Ao snorted.

" Xu Ao, you think Azure Wind City is your territory? You dare to threaten my friend in broad daylight?" Liu Jiang cursed.

" Liu Jiang? Hah! You think having Liu Clan as a backer makes you some bigshot? You are just a silk pant relying on his family. First, become an adept alchemist then talk in front of me." Xu Ao laughed as he pointed at Liu Jiang.

" You! Xu Ao, don't go too far! Just wait! In three days, I will become an adept alchemist." Liu Jiang declared. " Without a cauldron? Heh, I already know about the matter with Master Zhuo. Let' see how you become an adept alchemist in three days." Xu Ao laughed.

" And you, Why are you standing there? Give that Essence Jade to me." Xu Ao said again.

" What's with that unreasonable fellow?" Yang Shi asked Liu Jiang. " Xu Ao is the son of Secon Xu clan elder. He was also a core disciple of the Golden Sun Sect. He is also a three-star adept alchemist." Liu Jiang sighed.

" I see." Yang Shi nodded.

" He recently became the core disciple of Golden Sun Sect. So his pride has reached the sky." Liu Jiang snorted. 

" Hey, Can you just shut up! You think you can oppress us by using Xu Clan's fame? You are just a son of an Elder." Mo Yi cackled as he lashed out at Xu Ao. Xu Ao's face turned livid as he became angry.

" Bastard!" Xu Ao roared as he drew his sword.

" Young master, Please! It's forbidden to fight here." A man hastily came as he tried to stop them.

" Do you think you can stop me?" Xu Ao glared at the man. " I am just saying not to fight here. However, you can go to our battle arena. You can fight there." That person shook his head.

" Good! good! I also want to see the skills of this  Young master Xu. Hmph!" Mo Yi snorted. Yang Shi instantly understood why Mo Yi was getting eager. 

Since he came back to Azure Wind City, He wants to dominate the younger generation. That's why Mo Yi thought battling was the best option to spread his fame.

" Hehe, Brother Mo, You are taking all the fun yourself." Yang Shi pouted. " What, Brother Yang wants to take part in this?" Mo Yi laughed.

" Why not? I want to exercise my body before I consume this Essence Jade. With some battle insight, I will swiftly be able to reach the Seventh stage." Yang Shi said.

" Tch, I was thinking to crush that fellow. Nonetheless, Your brother is magnanimous." Mo Yi nodded. Yang Shi smiled after hearing his response.

" Eh? Brother Yang is going to fight?" Liu Jiang was surprised. " Why? You think I am going to lose?" Yang Shi raised his brows. " N-No, I mean, He was an Eighth stage cultivator." Liu Jiang mumbled.

" Let's go." All of them proceeded to the battle arena.

It was like a stadium with people all around them. They were cheering as they saw the fights. There is also a bettings stand, where people bet their money.

" Eh? Something is happening?" People began to whisper as a chubby looking person walked on the stage. " Ladies and gentlemen, Today, there is going to be a special fight." That person shouted.

" Young noble of Xu Clan, Xu Ao is going to fight with noble Yang Shi. Are you ready to witness this fight?!" That chubby shouted.

" YES~!" Everyone shouted back.

" Hurry up and bet on your favorite fighter. The odds are 1:4." The chubby added.

" Whoa! Does that mean if that Yang guy wins, we can get four times of our bets? That's crazy." Someone muttered.

" Heh, Do you think any random guy can win against Xu Ao? Don't forget, he is a core disciple of the Golden Sun Sect. He must have Mystic grade techniques." Another person chuckled.

" But that's good. Even if Xu Ao wins, we can double our money. Not to mention, in previous matches, the odds were one and a half and one in third. Damn, I am betting 50,000 gold coins on Xu Ao."

" 100,000 on Xu Ao."

" Me too. Xu Ao, you gotta win." Many people cheered.

" Hehe, Time for making money. I am betting a million gold coin on Yang Shi." Mo Yi laughed as he threw a bag of gold coins to the betting manager.

" Brother in law... Fine, I am also betting a million on Brother Yang." Liu Jiang gritted his teeth as he also paid. After he saw Mo Yi casually betting a million, Liu Jiang also wanted to bet on Yang Shi.

" Damn, that was my last bit of allowance. I hope brother Yang wins." Liu Jiang prayed in his heart.

Both Yang Shi and Xu Ao entered the arena as they stared at each other.

" You still have a chance. Kowtow before me and leave that Essence Jade. I might spare you life." Xu Ao sneered.

" Why speak so much bullshit? Are you going to fight with your mouth?" YangShi shrugged.

" Good! Let's see if you walk out alive from here." Xu Ao laughed angrily.

" Whoa, Brother! Since things developed till this stage, why not make it spicier?" Yang Shi chuckled.

" What do you mean?" Yang Shi chuckled.

" It's simple. I bet this Essence Jade, and you will bet a spirits stone. The winner shall take all." Yang Shi said.

" You think your Essence Jade is worth a spirits tone?" Xu Ao snorted.

" I will add a Quasi true grade weapon." Yang Shi said.

" Heh, It seems you have quite some treasures. Don't worry, I will take care of them." Xu Ao laughed. " Heh, I just hope you aren't poor enough not to be able to afford a spirit stone." Yang Shi snorted.

" Enough chit-chat. Let's fight!" Xu Ao roared.

Yang Shi laughed as he brandished his Heaven Calamity saber.

" Gold Split!"

..........................................

" Young lady, Who do  you think will win?" A person asked.

" Hmm, That Yang fellow looks no fool. But here, Xu Ao has the advantage. But, we shouldn't conclude everything now." A girl in a purple dress said calmly, but her eyes were fixed upon Yang Shi.

" Hmm, His physique looks familiar."
