Yang Kai raised his brow and said, “The Blood Fighting Pit is indeed rich and imposing! Since you’ve brought it here, this King won’t be polite.”
The middle-aged Demon King’s smile did not falter as he said, “Brother Yang, please hand over your Space Ring and allow this King to inspect it.”
“You want to check my Space Ring? Check what?” Yang Kai looked at him with a gloomy expression. What did this guy mean? How could a Space Ring be so easily checked? Was he looking for trouble?
The middle-aged Demon King was stunned for a moment before laughing, “Looking at Brother Yang, I’m afraid you don’t know the rules of the Blood Fighting Pit, right?”
“What rules?” Yang Kai suddenly felt something was wrong and looked out the door.
The middle-aged Demon King explained, “It’s like this, in order to facilitate everyone’s betting, the Blood Fighting Pit has always followed the principle of first betting and then paying compensation. Of course, if you win, the Blood Fighting Pit naturally needs to confirm whether the person who placed the bet has enough Demon Crystals. Since Brother Yang first arrived here, you probably don’t know much about it. In the past, there were many people who wanted to take advantage of the situation, even though they didn’t have any Demon Crystals on hand, they still dared to bet recklessly, causing the Blood Fighting Pit to suffer quite a loss, so from then on, the several Lords who presided over the Blood Fighting Pit set a rule that as long as Brother Yang has the 100 million Demon Crystals used to bet, this King can immediately pay the full amount.”
Hearing this, Xiao Wu’s face paled.
Others didn’t know about Yang Kai’s situation, but how could she not know? Not to mention a hundred million, Yang Kai didn’t even have a million demon crystals on him right now, so how could he possibly take them out when others wanted to inspect him?
She secretly blamed herself. If she had known this would happen, she would have asked for more information about the Blood Fighting Pit. She didn’t know much about the Blood Fighting Pit’s rules, after all, she had never been here before and had only heard rumors about the Blood Fighting Pit. She had previously mentioned some things about the Blood Fighting Arena to Yang Kai, but she had never thought that after winning the bet, they would investigate something like this.
If he couldn’t pass this trial, he would naturally break the Blood Fighting Pit’s rules and lose the one billion demon crystals.
“Is there such a rule?” Yang Kai’s face twitched as he glanced over at Xiao Wu. From her expression, he could tell that she was also unaware of this. Either she didn’t know, or the Blood Fighting Pit was targeting him.
“We have,” The middle-aged Demon King nodded lightly and looked at Yang Kai with a faint smile, “Brother Yang, you can’t possibly not have a hundred million demon crystals, right?”
Yang Kai snorted, “So what if it’s just a hundred million demon crystals? Isn’t it just a waste of time to inspect it? Can’t you just let it go?”
The middle-aged Demon King smiled and shook his head, “The rules of the Blood Fighting Pit cannot be broken, this King also has his duty, so I ask Brother Yang to forgive me.”
Yang Kai stared at him coldly, but the other party didn’t show any signs of weakness and instead stared back at him aggressively. Yang Kai immediately understood that whether or not the Blood Fighting Pit had such rules didn’t matter, but deliberately making things difficult for him was.
Immediately curling his lips, he said, “Since that’s the case, then this King won’t take the one billion demon crystals. Just bring this King’s prize over.”
The middle-aged Demon King rubbed his forehead, seemingly having a headache, “If Brother Yang is like this, it will make things difficult for this King. According to the rules, if you can’t take out the one hundred million demon crystals you bet on, it will be breaking the Blood Fighting Pit’s rules. If you break the Blood Fighting Pit’s rules, then everything that happened before will not count, and the so-called prizes will also…”
Yang Kai immediately smiled. He had been wondering why he was pestering him about the Demon Crystal, but it turned out they have this plan. It seemed that the Blood Fighting Pit didn’t want to hand over Li Shiqing.
“You insist?” Yang Kai looked at him lightly, his eyes filled with eagerness. If the other party dared to utter a single word, he would immediately make a scene.
One billion demon crystals was not a big deal, but he had to take Li Shiqing with him.
The woman had been brought to the Demon Territory for some time now, and from the looks of it, her situation was quite bad. Although she had been using her Secret Technique to resist the Demonic Qi and prevent herself from becoming bedeviled, who knew how long she could last? If it was too late, even if she was rescued, it would be useless.
The middle-aged Demon King wore a mocking smile on his face and was about to speak when the pale Xiao Wu suddenly took a step forward and nervously said, “The bet… the bet was made by this servant, it has nothing to do with… with Sir!”
Shua, shua, shua. Yang Kai and the middle-aged Demon King both looked towards her, the former not knowing whether to laugh or cry while the latter wore a gloomy expression.
In Xiao Wu’s opinion, as long as she was the one who placed the bet, Yang Kai would not break the rules of the Blood Fighting Pit, and the Blood Fighting Pit would naturally not be able to confiscate Yang Kai’s prize. However, if that was the case, she would be in deep trouble. A mere maidservant, even if she was a maid in Yu Ru Meng’s palace, she would not be able to save her life.
However, Yang Kai didn’t want to do this! He was still hoping that the other party would give him an excuse to cause trouble, but now that Xiao Wu had taken up the bet, how could he have any excuse?
“Do you know what you’re talking about?” The middle-aged Demon King’s aura was fierce as he glared at Xiao Wu, immediately causing her already pale face to become even paler and the scars on her face to become even more hideous.
Yang Kai’s figure flickered as he stood in front of Xiao Wu, his eyes filled with awe as he said, “Sir, you really are quite imposing!”
The middle-aged Demon King glanced at Yang Kai indifferently, somewhat surprised by his reaction. After all, was a mere maidservant worth him standing up for her? He sneered, “Brother Yang is quite impressive.”
Yang Kai couldn’t be bothered with him and turned around to look at Xiao Wu before saying, “It’s none of your business, move aside.”
“But…” Xiao Wu looked up and wanted to say something, but when she met Yang Kai’s eyes, she swallowed the words she was about to say.
Yang Kai stood in front of her and shook his head, glancing over at the middle-aged Demon King and coldly saying, “Since you’ve said so much, let’s not hide anything. This King wants the prize that belongs to this King, so this King will not give up the one billion demon crystals. I’ll give you five minutes to prepare, otherwise don’t blame this King for being impolite.”
If they didn’t agree with each other, they might as well tear apart their faces and make a scene.
The middle-aged Demon King chuckled, “Where did Brother Yang get the confidence to act so wildly in the Blood Fighting Pit?”
Yang Kai suddenly said lightly, “Seventeen, tsk tsk, Sir really thinks highly of me.”
These words were completely incomprehensible to Xiao Wu, but the face of the middle-aged Demon King in front of her changed slightly, because these seventeen were the number of Demon Kings who had been lying in ambush outside the door. This time, the Blood Fighting Pit had no intention of allowing Yang Kai to do as he pleased, repeatedly forcing him to do so in order to anger him. Once he dared to attack here, the seventeen Demon Kings outside would swarm in.
During the chaotic battle, with Bo Ya cooperating with him to kill the enemy, at this moment, he was all alone. It was impossible for him to escape from so many Demon Kings. At that time, even if the Saint Venerable found out, she wouldn’t be able to blame him for causing trouble.
It was just that… this guy’s sense of smell was too sharp. The Demon Kings lying in ambush outside were already well hidden, yet he still managed to sense them.
Laughing lightly, the middle-aged Demon King asked, “What does Brother Yang mean?”
Yang Kai glanced at him disdainfully and said lightly, “Time waits for no man. An incense stick’s worth of time isn’t much, do you not need to prepare?”
The middle-aged Demon King smiled lightly, “This King doesn’t need to prepare anything, but Brother Yang, please respect yourself.”
As soon as these words fell, the atmosphere in the VIP room became tense. Xiao Wu nervously watched from the side, knowing that things were not looking good. She was also confused. She had only brought Yang Kai out to explore the Holy City, so how could things have become like this?
Just as the atmosphere in the room became more tense, a series of footsteps suddenly came from outside. At the same time, an aura that made Yang Kai feel uneasy quickly enveloped him.
The aura of a Half-Saint!
Moreover… it seemed familiar.
This was not Yue Sang’s aura. Although Yang Kai had only met Yue Sang once, he had a deep impression of this person’s aura. Who was this Half-Saint? Where had he seen him before?
Incidentally glancing up, Yang Kai almost laughed out loud, because the middle-aged Demon King who had been staring at him with a hostile expression had now become extremely embarrassed, as if he was extremely afraid of this newcomer.
“Greetings, Sir!” A sound of greetings rang out from outside the door, most likely from the Demon Kings who had been lying in ambush.
With a creak, the door was pushed open and a tall figure stepped in. This person was dressed in white, had a handsome face, and an extraordinary aura. He had a smile on his face and a pair of bright eyes that gave off a devilish charm, attracting the attention of many women.
Yang Kai wore a stunned expression as he pointed at the newcomer, “You…”
The middle-aged Demon King quickly bowed, “Greetings, Sir!”
The newcomer completely ignored the middle-aged Demon King and instead came to a stop ten meters away from Yang Kai. The corners of his mouth curled up as he smiled and said, “As I said, we will meet again.”
“Bai Zhuo!” Yang Kai finally remembered this guy’s name, no wonder he felt a sense of familiarity. So it was him.
On that day, he had firmly defended Tiger Roar City and had many powerful subordinates under his command. After defeating the Demon Race’s army and killing countless enemies, the Demon Race seemed to have realized how terrifying Tiger Roar City was and had specially invited a Half-Saint to come out. Who would have thought that this Half-Saint would simply walk around the city wall before leaving, even telling Yang Kai that they would meet again.
At that time, the Half Saint had introduced himself as Bai Zhuo!
After learning that Yu Rumeng was one of the Demon Race’s Twelve Demon Saints, Yang Kai finally understood why Bai Zhuo had decisively retreated. Other Demon Race couldn’t recognize Yu Rumeng, but he must have recognized her, which was why he had left so quickly.
However, Yang Kai had not expected to see Bai Zhuo again in the Holy City’s Blood Fighting Pit.
“Insolent human, how dare you address Sir directly!” The middle-aged Demon King immediately raised his head and shouted at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai glanced at him and said disdainfully, “He didn’t even say anything, what are you barking about?”
The middle-aged Demon King was furious and looked up at Bai Zhuo, only to see a smile on his face. He was not angered by Yang Kai’s rudeness, causing his heart to skip a beat as a bad feeling filled his heart.
Bai Zhuo seemed to have a… good relationship with this human.
