The atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly shifted and got more intense.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and glared intently at Xu Que, who had just descended from the sky. The Heavenly Orcs were so furious that they almost burst.

The younger brother of Li Bai – Li Xiaoyao?

He’s going into battle in place of his elder brother?

Battle my ass!

Couldn’t you try better if you wanted to disguise your identity?

You haven’t changed your clothes, let alone your looks! Those bloodstains splattered on your clothes are from yesterday’s battle, aren’t they?

Everyone had, obviously, immediately seen through Xu Que’s insincere disguise. Both his looks and his outfit were the same as yesterday.

Most important, he had brought Jiang Hongyan with him. The duo was just too eye-catching; she was clearly a powerhouse at the Crossing Calamity Stage, but not once had she ever made a move. On the other hand, the young man at the Void Training Stage had been killing enemies left and right, and no one could stop his prowess!

This had made the Heavenly Orc Tribe feel especially humiliated. By doing that, it was as though Xu Que was gloating at them – How’s that? I can bring in a Crossing Calamity Stage powerhouse and show her off as much as I want! A mere Void Training Stage cultivator like me is enough to play you guys like a fiddle!

“Come on, come on! I feel good today! I, Li Xiaoyao, will be the dealer. Let’s make a bet on how many people I can kill today! Let’s set the limit at 500. Those who think that I can’t kill above 500 people can bet on small. If you think otherwise, big is your bet!” Xu Que ignored the fiery gazes of the Heavenly Orc Tribe and started to holler at the human cultivators.

Al the human cultivators present twitched the corners of their lips at the same time and were stumped by Xu Que’s behavior.

Bet on big or small?

Crap, how can he play it that way?

On the other hand, the Heavenly Orcs were enraged, especially those Heavenly Orc soldiers making up the hundreds of formations. They could hardly hold in their urge to tear Xu Que into 1,000 pieces!

“Heavenly Orcs, heed your orders! Ignore that human lad and maintain the formation. Charge ahead in full power!” yelled the generals of the individual formations all of a sudden.

“The Heavenly Orc Tribe shall never be slaves! Kill!”

All of the Heavenly Orc Tribe threw their arms into the air and howled. Their deafening screams resounded loudly on the battlefield, echoing in all directions. The great battle commenced once again just like that. Countless formations made up of Heavenly Orcs plowed toward the human cultivators, with the terrifying strength of a million armies.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Every footstep generated a thunder-like crash that shook the heaven and earth; the sound stuck at the hearts of the human cultivators like a humongous battle drum!

“All soldiers and men, heed your orders! Do not disperse! Unite like a tightly knotted rope! We will annihilate the enemy!” At the same time, the human generals also howled out their orders, which rang throughout the battlefield. The human cultivators could no longer retreat. They unleashed their magic arts and, in a concerted effort, charged onward!

Well, that was embarrassing!

What should he do, now that the enemy had ignored his provocation?

“Aww dang it, why are you guys so calm today?” Xu Que couldn’t help but shake his head, at a slight loss about what to do.

Jiang Hongyan stood by his side and smiled gently. “Provocation is not the only way to attract their attention.”

“Hmm?”

Xu Que was stunned for a second, and then his eyes shone brilliantly. He laughed, “You’re right! Angering them is not the only way. I’ve got an idea!” He waved his hand and summoned the System parcel.

Ka-thunk!

An immeasurable amount of best-grade Spirit Stones suddenly spilled out of the System parcel and fell onto the ground like a purple waterfall. They quickly formed a purple pile almost as big as a small hill.

His actions shocked everybody present.

Whether it was the human cultivators or the Heavenly Orc Tribe, all of them stopped charging at each other. Horror filled their faces as they shot their gazes toward Xu Que.

Every single best-grade Spirit Stone was crystalline and glistening; their purple gleam almost blinded everyone.

“Crap! How…how did that guy manage to get that many best-grade Spirit Stones?”

“Holy crap! That’s comparable to a Spirit Stone Vein!”

“What’s he doing on the battlefield if he has got that many best-grade Spirit Stones?”

Xu Que’s wealth shook the human cultivators, and they quickly erupted into a discussion. Even the Heavenly Orc Tribe’s eyes got wide with greed. Although they do not need the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth to cultivate, Spirit Stones are, after all, the common currency of the cultivation world. With that many best-grade Spirit Stones, they could purchase as much blood from human cultivators and demonic beasts as they wanted.

What was the reason that they had to come to the battlefield and invaded the human territory?

It was for the endless supply of Spirit Stones and the blood of human cultivators!

Since Xu Que had so many Spirit Stones, why did they need to fight the human cultivators? They could simply seize the Stones from Xu Que!

The Heavenly Orcs became fidgety at once, and their formation started to become messy.

“Heavenly Orcs, heed my order! Maintain the formation; those who go against this order shall be heavily punished!” The Heavenly Orc general yelled, instantly worried by the commotion.

However, Xu Que started to wave seductively at the Heavenly Orcs, and even began to sing, “Come on now and be merry! Anyway we have a lot of time! Come on now, wreak some havoc! Come seize my best-grade Spirit Stones!”

Crap!

Every human cultivator in the arena could not believe their eyes. What the hell, to think that such a seductive song exists! That’s so low! They almost wanted to rush in and beat him up!

The massive crowd of Heavenly Orcs, however, could not take it any longer. The formation of Heavenly Orcs nearest to Xu Que had almost broken apart, with every Orc wanting to charge toward Xu Que. After all, a small handful of best-grade Spirit Stones far outweighed their rewards for risking their lives on the battlefield!

As for the Heavenly Orcs farther away from Xu Que, they could hardly contain their impatience upon seeing the commotion near Xu Que. They were worried that if they waited any longer, they wouldn’t be quick enough to get even a single Stone!

Howl!

Finally, the Heavenly Orcs in the distance let out an angry howl and made a move. They charged toward Xu Que like an impending tornado. Once the first Heavenly Orc moved, it sparked a chain reaction and others quickly followed. They all charged toward Xu Que, and the situation immediately got out of hand. No matter how the Heavenly Orc generals threatened their soldiers, they could not stop them from storming over toward Xu Que.

Xu Que, on the other hand, smiled calmly at the other human cultivators. “Hurry, place your bets early before it’s too late! The baseline is 500 Heavenly Orcs – the rate is 1:1 no matter if you bet on big or small!””

Crap!

Many human cultivators scolded loudly to themselves. Having battled for so long, this was the first time they had seen someone arrogant enough to start a gamble on the battlefield! They didn’t understand what was going on anymore!

As the saying goes, true men prefer death to humiliation. What Xu Que did was a great disrespect to the opponent and the battlefield! But they liked it!

“Fellow Cultivator Li! I’ll bet 1,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones on big!” said someone who gave in and threw him 1,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones.

“Gotcha! Good choice!” Xu Que laughed and took the Spirit Stones.

Other human cultivators quickly followed; they took out their Spirit Stones and hurriedly placed their bets.

“10,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones from me, I’ll bet on big!”

“10 Best-Grade Spirit Stones from me, I’ll bet on small!”

“I won’t hold back either! 100 Best-Grade Spirit Stones, betting on small!”

Countless people participated in the gambling,amassing a huge pile of best-grade Spirit Stones in front of Xu Que. Though tempted, they could not harm an ally, and so they changed their minds from robbing to gambling since Xu Que was rich enough to pay them all! Within moments, Xu Que had collected tens of thousands of best-grade Spirit Stones.

The very instant that the Heavenly Orcs charged at him, he swept out and shouted to Jiang Hongyan, “Little Miss, keep these Spirit Stones for me! Don’t let others steal them; it’s the maintenance allowance for our home!”

Jiang Hongyan stopped in surprise, then smiled gently. She then swept away all the Spirit Stones on the ground. At the same time, Xu Que had already rushed into the sea of Heavenly Orcs and began to level up.

Swoosh!

The gleam of his sword engulfed heaven and earth and blasted away a staggering number of Heavenly Orcs!

Boom!

Down came Xu Que’s King of Tough-Acting Fists and the Heavenly Orcs exploded into blood mist one by one. The atmosphere started to turn feverish.

In situations where Xu Que could use the King of Tough-Acting Fist, he was so powerful that he was almost untouchable – nobody, no matter if they were at the Form Synthesis Stage or the Crossing Calamity Stage, could not do anything to him. They were all reduced to blood mist before they could even come near. With that, Xu Que was invincible, unless a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator decided to interfere or he used up his Taoist Connotation.

The human cultivators all stared intently at the battlefield, as they kept track of how many Orcs Xu Que had killed.

Ding! “Congratulations to the Host Xu Que for successfully acting tough! You have been rewarded 13,000 Acting Tough points!”

Ding! “Congratulations to the Host Xu Que for successfully acting tough! You have been rewarded 14,000 Acting Tough points!”

Ding! “Congratulations to the Host Xu Que for killing a powerhouse at the Form Synthesis Stage! You have been rewarded 10 million Acting Tough points!”

Ding! “Congratulations to the Host Xu Que for killing a super powerhouse at the Form Synthesis Stage! You have been rewarded 20 million Acting Tough points!”

Ding! “Congratulations to the Host Xu Que for killing a super powerhouse at the Form Synthesis Stage! You have been rewarded 20 million Acting Tough points!”

Ding! “Congratulations to the Host Xu Que for leveling up successfully! You are now at the sixth level of the Void Training Stage!”

The sound of the System notifications kept resounding in Xu Que’s mind. Xu Que finally used up all of his Taoist Connotation when he broke through to the eighth level of the Void Training Stage. Although his Taoist Connotation capacity would increase with his cultivation stage, the amount of experience needed to level up would double with every stage progression. Therefore, Xu Que was satisfied to have leveled up to the eighth level from the fifth level of Void Training.

In this battle, he had exterminated a total of 500 orcs, including generals at the Crossing Calamity Stage.

Exactly 500!

Human cultivators who had bet on small quickly paled. It was over. They had lost!

Those who had bet on big, however, had agitation and exhilaration on their faces. They would win if Xu Que killed one more orc!

The human cultivators all set their eyes on Xu Que and stared at him intently as if urging loudly in their hearts for him to kill, to continue killing!

Swoosh!

Xu Que suddenly broke out from the encirclement of the orcs and stood beside Jiang Hongyan. Then, he looked over the crowd and said, “Time flies when you’re having fun! The fight ends here!”

End?

Did it end just like that?

How could you determine who won or lost?

Everyone present in the arena was stunned, especially the human cultivators who had bet on big. Their eyes widened in disbelief at Xu Que’s words.

“Don’t worry everyone, for trust is the motto of the Exploding Heavens Faction! I, Li Xiaoyao, announce on behalf of the Exploding Heavens Faction that the gambling is over! The handsome me has killed exactly 500 orcs, and so the dealer takes all! Till we meet again!”

Once he finished, he took Jiang Hongyan’s hand and activated the Intermediate Escape Emblem. The two of them vanished immediately.
