Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 789: Primal Chaos Iron Ruler

The Dueling Ground was located near the plaza of the western city district. This was the Lei Clan’s business. This Dueling Ground was not only used for dueling, but it was also a giant money-making place.

When it was first constructed, it was meant for the descendants of the great clans to duel and to prevent any violence in the city, which would break the rules. Afterward, it should become a place to gamble on fights. Every single day, the slave martial artists would duel, and the spectators could place their bets. There were frequent battles between experts and Demon Thearchs, and no matter how savage it was, it would stimulate the violent traits in the blood of the spectators.

This place was the largest gambling site for the Gods Bestow Island. During the daytime of every single day, there would be three duels up for gambling. Every duel’s bets would reach up to a few billion. It didn’t matter if the Lei Clan lost or won as the host, the number of celestial stones they would profit every day was simply an astronomical value.

“The great clans are truly wealthy!”

After Jiang Yi and Qian Wanguan heard about the explanations of the Dueling Ground from Huangfu Taotian, they silently sighed. Qian Wanguan suddenly thought of an idea and transmitted a message to ask: “Big Brother Taotian, can we bet on the duel between Boss and Lu Lin? If the odds are high, we can bet together and earn a huge profit off them.”

“Of course we can!”

Huangfu Taotian scanned with his divine senses and made sure no one was monitoring them. He nodded and said, “With so many people attending, Lei Qiyan will definitely ask the Dueling Ground to open the bets. Since he is going to lend Lu Lin his spirit-connected cardinal treasures, he will widen the odds to attract more bets. I reckon that this time, the odds will be very high. But... Wanguan, are you so confident that Brother Jiang will win?”

“Of course!” Qian Wanguan grinned and said, “Let alone a crap like Lu Lin—if my Boss decided to make a move, not even Lei Qiyan would be able to win him.”

“Alright!”

Huangfu Taotian waved his hand and said, “If Lei Qiyan dares to open up for betting, I will bet 10 billion!”

“10 billion?”

Qian Wanguan and Jiang Yi looked at each other as Huangfu Taotian was too ruthless. If the odds were high, then Lei Qiyan would lose so much that he would have to sell his butt to repay the debt. Follow current s on novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

Thirty minutes later, everyone arrived at the Dueling Ground. A commander had already been arranged to welcome everyone inside. Jiang Yi looked from outside and noticed that this Dueling Ground wasn’t very big. When he entered to take a look, he was even more amazed.

This Dueling Ground was truly not very big. The inside was nearly filled with seats, and there were at least a few tens of thousands of seats. The center dueling area was actually just a few meters in radius.

“How will we duel with such a small space?”

Jiang Yi looked at Huangfu Taotian with doubts while the latter laughed and said, “You will know once you enter. Don’t worry, the two of you will certainly be able to fight as you desire.”

“Will the two combatants enter the stage!”

Lei Qiyan waved his hand with paragon and yelled out at the same time, “The two of you might have agreed to this duel, but I personally feel that you should stop when the fight is already decided. Anyone of you can concede if you feel like you have lost. Do not end up with any deaths as it will not be good for everyone.”

Lu Lin laughed faintly and coldly before responding, “Don’t worry, Big Brother Yan. I will only cripple him and will not kill him.”

Swish!

Finishing his statement, Lu Lin flew towards the tall platform below and landed firmly. Jiang Yi shrugged his shoulders and flew without minding at all.

Buzz!

When the two of them landed on the tall platform, it lit up with white light while the duo vanished subsequently. The sky above the tall platform quickly formed an image of a bizarre zone, where Jiang Yi and Lu Lin were both standing on the top of two mountain peaks.

“Uh...”

Qian Wanguan suddenly realized it and understood that the tall platform wasn’t the stage for the duel... but just a teleportation array. The dueling stage that the duo was teleported into was definitely very big, and the scene inside would be projected inside the Dueling Ground.

Qian Wanguan thought about it and quickly understood the reason. People that duel here were all experts, and this small place wasn’t enough for them to exhibit their moves. If they were to burst open the restriction, the large group of spectators would definitely be dead.

“Everyone. Since we are at the Dueling Ground, why not gamble a little? I will represent the Lei Clan to open up the bets!”

Lei Qiyan looked at everyone and smiled while speaking, “As for the odds, let it be 5:1. If Lu Lin wins, I will pay one fold. If Chief Jiang wins, I will pay five folds. Everyone can bet as you wish.”

“5:1?”

Huangfu Taotian and Qian Wanguan exchanged looks while their faces turned grave. Lei Qiyan definitely believed that Lu Lin would win. Otherwise, the odds wouldn’t be so huge and would entice people to place their bets on Jiang Yi.

“Alright, I will support my brother. I shall bet five billion!” Qian Wanguan was the first to speak as he had confidence in Jiang Yi.

Huangfu Taotian also spoke coldly, “I will bet ten billion on Brother Jiang!”

Ss, ss...

Many young masters and ladies gasped a breath of cold air. These two were surely betting in huge sums. Could Jiang Yi really win?

“En, Commander Jin. Make a record for us to settle the bill later.” Lei Qiyan seemed to have expected for the duo to place their bets on Jiang Yi as he smiled and nodded before instructing the Dueling Ground Supervisor at the back.

Lu Yu was the third to speak, “Let me also play a little. I will bet one billion on my cousin brother.”

“Haha, since everyone is in such a great mood, I will also casually make a bet.” Situ Yixiao made a bet of five billion for Jiang Yi to win.

“I believe Big Brother Taotian’s insight. One billion on Jiang Yi!” Situ Yinian spoke with a lovely smile.

“I bet two billion, Lu Lin!”

“Chief Jiang, one billion!”

“Two billion, Lu Lin!”

Dozens of young masters and ladies made their bets one after the other. It was a good idea to place a small bet for today’s show. Majority of the people might think that Lu Lin would win, but the odds would be higher if Jiang Yi was to win. They would only lose a billion or two if they lost bets, but they would win five folds the bet if Jiang Yi won. It was a gamble, right? It must be exciting if they wanted to play.

Lei Qiyan silently counted the bets and noticed that the bets were rather evenly spread out. However, Jiang Yi had bigger bets, which caused his smile to intensify. He should be able to make a profit of over ten billion on this duel.

“It is almost about to begin!”

Situ Yinian’s voice alerted everyone. In the projected image up in the sky, Lu Lin made a move. Everyone had already finished making their bets and were all looking at the duel, waiting for the results to be decided.

“Little bastard. You utterly humiliated me back then. Today, this Young Master shall return to you in several folds. If I don’t chop you up into 108 pieces, this Young Master will not let it rest!”

When Lu Lin soared into the sky from the mountain peak, there was an ominous glint in his eyes as a giant iron ruler appeared. That giant iron ruler was bronze in color and was emitting a desolate and unadorned aura presence while covered in strange patterns. After he circulated his essence force, it turned several folds bigger in an instant. The patterns on the surface emitted a dazzling radiance, while strange runic patterns emerged.

“Primal Chaos Iron Ruler!”

Huangfu Taotian revealed a sneer on the corner of his mouth. As he had expected, Lei Qiyan had lent his spirit-connected cardinal treasures to Lu Lin.

When everyone looked at Lei Qiyan, he spread out his hand innocently and said, “Don’t look at me. I have already sold the Primal Chaos Iron Ruler to Lu Lin on the day of the Gods Bestow Festival. En... I also sold him my Mother Earth Armor. Since he gave a great price while I found even better spirit-connected cardinal treasures, there is no reason for me not to sell them, right?”

“Despicable...”

Huangfu Taotian scoffed while some other young masters and young ladies rolled their eyes. Lei Qiyan was talking big without hesitation. The Primal Chaos Iron Ruler and the Mother Earth Armor were already top-class treasures, and he could get something even better? Furthermore, Lu Lin could afford it?

In the images below, Lu Lin was already brandishing the Primal Chaos Iron Ruler to cleave at Jiang Yi abruptly. Everyone had no choice but to concentrate on the duel while those they betted on Jiang Yi to win were silently cursing. It seemed like they were about to get scammed by Lei Qiyan.
