Chapter 130: Re-enter the gambling den, ignite the calamity

Chapter 130: Re-enter the gambling den, ignite the calamityAt that moment, Xu Hei's expression shifted as he took out a jade detection disk.

On the disk, a large group of Foundation Establishment cultivators was approaching him and the places where his three puppets had been in an extremely orderly fashion.

This group consisted of fifteen Foundation Establishment cultivators: seven in the mid-stage, five in the late-stage, and three at Great Perfection.

Such a scale was beyond the capabilities of ordinary forces, and even the Heavenly Dragon Casino didn't have so many experts.

Xu Hei squinted his eyes as he watched the group quickly pass by the inn where he had previously stayed and head straight for his current location.

"Heavenly Dragon Casino, you brought this upon yourselves."

Xu Hei's gaze turned cold as he severed his connection with all the puppets, leaving only Ma Teng by his side.

He then stored Ma Teng in his storage bag.

"Body Swap!"

With a thought, Xu Hei's true body instantly disappeared from the original spot and reappeared on a street five miles away.

He had long set up small snakes in these places specifically for body swapping.

However, Xu Hei's current body swap technique was only partially mastered and could only move him five miles at most.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Hei ignored the cultivators tracking him and controlled Ma Teng, who wore a mask, to head straight for the Heavenly Dragon Casino.

The streets were bustling with people and traffic.

Even in the afternoon, the commercial district was still crowded. Along the way, Xu Hei overheard passersby discussing him and the Heavenly Dragon Casino.

"Ever since Ma Teng caused that commotion, the Heavenly Dragon Casino has lost more than half its customers."

"Heh, serves them right. I've always heard that the casino is a scam, but some people just don't believe it."

"A gambling stone worth over eighty thousand was cut open and turned out to be worth less than five thousand. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Some people always dream of getting rich overnight!"

Two people by the roadside were discussing.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in black walked up and scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

The two were startled and quickly shook their heads, "We didn't say anything!"

"Boom!"

With a palm strike, the middle-aged man in black made the two cough up blood and fall to the ground, their faces pale.

"The Heavenly Dragon Casino has already debunked those rumors. They were spread by enemies. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll cripple your cultivation!"

The middle-aged man in black snorted coldly, spread his divine sense, and continued walking.

The two dared not retaliate and had no choice but to leave helplessly.

To control public opinion, the Heavenly Dragon Casino had resorted to extreme measures, sending out many people to forcibly silence others with violence.

In the short term, this might not be effective, but over time, people tend to forget, and it would eventually work.

By then, they would publicly execute Ma Teng, the rumor spreader, and hang his body at the city gate, ensuring no one would dare to speak out again.

At this moment, Xu Hei passed by, staring at the black-clothed man with a blank expression. He raised his hand and clenched it.

The middle-aged man in black seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, his head making cracking sounds before it was forcibly crushed.

"Boom!"

Blood splattered everywhere.

In an instant, the entire street fell silent, and everyone looked over.

"You dare court death!"

From a distance, an old man in black rode the wind, rushing over and reaching out to grab Xu Hei.

Xu Hei took out the Soul-absorbing Flag and waved it, causing a swarm of snake shadows to appear and pounce on the old man.

"It's Ma Teng!"

The old man's face changed drastically, and he screamed, "Master Ma, spare me!"

"Die!"

Xu Hei's eyes were filled with malice as the snake swarm quickly tore the old man to pieces, even absorbing his soul into the Soul-absorbing Flag, devouring it completely.

The snake swarm grew even stronger.

After killing the Foundation Establishment old man, Xu Hei quickened his pace, using the Ever-changing Fish and Dragon technique to leap into the Heavenly Dragon Casino.

After Xu Hei left, the place erupted into chaos.

"Was that... Ma Teng?"

"Ma Teng is back! My god!"

"He's back to make trouble again!"

The entire street fell into a frenzy.

However, no one dared to go and watch.

Neither the Heavenly Dragon Casino nor the notorious madman Ma Teng were people ordinary folks dared to approach. One wrong move, and they could be caught in the crossfire and die.

Like the onlookers two days ago, almost none survived; they were all silenced by the Heavenly Dragon Casino.

Ma Teng was even more dangerous, often using Thunder Tribulation Pearls!

Although no one dared to approach, it didn't stop people from excitedly discussing in small groups.

…………

Inside the Heavenly Dragon Casino.

Today, there were very few gamblers. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The casino had implemented a series of profit-sharing measures, and those who participated had won some spirit stones.

They even arranged for two shills to open top-grade treasures from the gambling stones and hung banners to promote it.

This attracted some customers.

Xu Hei entered the casino and, without a word, started a killing spree, releasing snake spirits to kill everyone in sight, whether they were casino staff or bystanders.

Most of the casino's experts had been sent out, and Xu Hei, with bloodshot eyes, entered an unstoppable state.

It wasn't until a white-robed elder activated a large formation that Xu Hei's rampage was slightly hindered.

"Master Ma, when did our Heavenly Dragon Casino ever offend you to deserve such ruthless attacks?"

The elder's face was ashen.

"Tell your master to come out and see me!" Xu Hei said coldly.

……

At this moment, Liu Ruyan had just captured the four puppets Xu Hei had abandoned when she received news from the casino.

"What?!"

Liu Ruyan couldn't believe that Xu Hei had actually returned.

Not only did he not leave the city, but he also went back to the Heavenly Dragon Casino, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Without hesitation, Liu Ruyan retraced her steps and rushed back to the casino as fast as she could. Meanwhile, Ding Quan's mechanical dog followed suit.

"He actually went back. Is he courting death?"

Ding Quan was baffled.

However, it seemed the other party had no way out. Leaving the city meant death, staying in the city meant death, so the only option was to fight desperately at the casino.

This was also within Ding Quan's calculations, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Inside the Heavenly Dragon Casino, in the main hall.

In front of Xu Hei, Liu Ruyan's figure slowly appeared. Her face no longer bore the courtesy from two days ago but was filled with cold killing intent.

"Why did you come back?"

"Someone didn't want me to leave, so I had to come back," Xu Hei replied calmly.

A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes. This person could actually see through the soul-chasing technique at the city gate. Impressive.

"Since you're back, you won't be leaving today!"

Liu Ruyan waved her hand.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Hei took out a Thunder Tribulation Pearl and, without giving her any time to react, threw it and clenched his hand in mid-air.

"Explode!" Xu Hei shouted in a low voice.

Liu Ruyan's pupils contracted to a point.

She had anticipated this moment but still didn't expect Xu Hei to be so decisive.

One must know that the range of the Thunder Tribulation Pearl was vast. Xu Hei's true body would definitely be affected, if not killed, then severely injured.

In that case, he would have no way to escape in Chuyang City.

"Madman!"

Liu Ruyan cursed inwardly, but she was prepared. The moment Xu Hei threw the Thunder Tribulation Pearl, she took out the formation disk given by Elder Ding and clenched it.

In an instant, a light shield appeared, compressing rapidly towards the Thunder Tribulation Pearl's location at lightning speed, aiming to minimize the destruction range.

This was no ordinary formation but a mid-tier third-grade formation, capable of blocking most of the power of a heavenly tribulation!
