67: Chapter 0067: Flee in Panic 67: Chapter 0067: Flee in Panic The bystanders vomited blood…

For heaven’s sake, if you dare not act like that, why did you?

Those who didn’t know better might think he was disdainful of the small stakes of the bet!

Chu Ge was obviously joking before.

He soon composed himself, “After all, it’s the Ouyang Family’s assets.

I helped previously because of Old Master’s trust, but now, I won’t gamble the rise and fall of an entire family for my momentary pleasure!”

Mr.

Ouyang silently nodded in approval.

Being able to back out amidst intense pressure is indeed rare, even for those beyond their forties, yet, Chu Ge who seemed to be just over twenty, could always maintain his true self.

Moreover, even if he agreed, Mr.

Ouyang would not consent, as it would ruin the good atmosphere established earlier.

Duan Congxing’s face twitched, obviously not expecting such an answer from Chu Ge.

Just as he was about to speak, the cloaked figure beside him suddenly spoke in a deep voice, “What was the original bet?”

“Mr.

Mo,” Duan Congxing quickly bowed slightly, whispering, “It was ten percent.”

“Then ten percent it is!” The cloaked figure waved grandly, “Coincidentally, I also know nothing about gambling stone, let’s both cluelessly make a guess!”

The remarks from the cloaked figure left everyone present with puzzled expressions.

Chu Ge was already bizarre enough, could this guy be similar to Chu Ge?

However, Duan Congxing showed no worry, seemingly considering victory as already within his grasp.

Soon, the clutter on the table was cleared, and the Duan Family’s ten stones were placed on the table, even the stone opening tools and personnel were swapped out.

The cloaked figure didn’t hold back, voluntarily walked over to the table, and placed his hand on one of the stones.

The others watched cluelessly, but Chu Ge frowned, sensing the Spiritual Energy within that stone being slowly absorbed!

Although not as efficiently as himself, after a few minutes, the stone’s Spiritual Energy was also sucked dry, and the cloaked person had already moved his hand to the second stone.

By the time the cloaked figure absorbed the Spiritual Energy from the fourth stone, Chu Ge guessed what he was trying to do…

This guy intended to drain all the stones of their Spiritual Energy, leaving only the one he chose for himself, making Chu Ge’s loss inevitable!

How could I let you win so easily?

Chu Ge smirked subtly, then also walked up to the table, placing his hand on a stone, “One by one is too time-consuming, why don’t we both pick at the same time.”

Simultaneously, his Inner Strength circulated, and the Spiritual Energy in the stone rushed into his body like floodwaters breaking through a dam!

“This…

how is this possible!” The cloaked figure was utterly stunned because this time Chu Ge was showing off his prowess blatantly, with full firepower.

In just five or six seconds, the stone’s Spiritual Energy would be completely drained, even leaving the entire stone filled with tiny cracks!

As for those solid stones without jade, the cloaked figure still needed a few seconds to feel them, but Chu Ge directly skipped those.

Such a technique, even among the Sects, he guessed only his master could achieve…

Could it be that this young man, appearing only in his early twenties, was an Absolute Grandmaster of the Innate Realm?

No, that’s absolutely impossible!

The cloaked figure shook his head lightly, hastily dismissing this terrifying thought.

However, what he didn’t know was that the cultivation technique Chu Ge practiced was extremely special.

Even though he was merely at the Peak of Postnatal, if he really faced an Innate Grandmaster, he could still hold his own!

Unbeatable in the same realm!

Ignoring the astonishment of the cloaked man, Chu Ge’s hand speed was too fast; in just tens of seconds, only a single stone remained in the arena!

The cloaked man suddenly widened his eyes and hastily reached out to grab it, yet someone was faster than him.

Chu Ge had reacted later but arrived first.

Just as the cloaked man’s hand was about to touch Chu Ge’s wrist, ready to use a vein-locking move to make him let go, Chu Ge’s wrist trembled slightly.

“Crack—” The sound of bones shattering crisply echoed, one could see the muscles on the cloaked man’s arm suddenly tense, and looking at his two fingers pinching Chu Ge’s wrist, they were twisting in a strange manner, the bones inside having been shattered by Chu Ge in an instant!

“Well done!” The cloaked man was struggling hard to suppress the pain, so his voice sounded exceptionally hoarse, he glanced deeply at Chu Ge through his cloak, then turned and walked away.

Chu Ge watched his retreating figure, narrowing his eyes slightly, yet in the end he said nothing and only placed the single intact stone in front of him.

The incident between the two men actually took place in just a few minutes, and the people around hadn’t even understood what happened before seeing the cloaked man snort coldly and prepare to leave.

Not just the spectators around, even Duan Congxing was baffled by this sudden turn; seeing the cloaked man about to cross the threshold, he quickly asked loudly, “Mr.

Mo, what exactly is going on here?

Are you still gambling?”

The cloaked man paused, snorting coldly, “Hmph, I lost this round!”

“Lost…

lost?” Duan Congxing evidently did not grasp the situation, suddenly his face contorted as he roared fiercely, “How did you lose?

There wasn’t even a bet, how could you have lost?”

“Thud thud thud—” Chu Ge knocked on the table, and Duan Congxing’s gaze was immediately drawn to it, but as soon as he saw what was on the table, he felt as if struck by lightning.

On the table, all nine stones had cracked, revealing the inside filled with cracks, the dull and lustre-less broken jade, only the stone in Chu Ge’s hand remained intact.

“How is that possible?”

“Truly saw a ghost, once or twice could be said to be luck, but this many times in a row…what exactly happened?”

“This isn’t just misfortune, is Old Master Duan possessed by bad luck spirit today?”

The people around all gasped in shock, including Mr.

Ouyang, whose usually composed demeanor could no longer be maintained.

He widened his eyes to look at the wasted jade on the table, then shifted his gaze several times to Duan Congxing, finally casting doubtful looks towards Chu Ge.

Despite how unbelievable it was, at this moment everyone still cast doubtful glances towards Chu Ge.

Under everyone’s gaze, Chu Ge slightly cracked open the stone, revealing the sparkling and translucent jade inside: “Old Master Duan, it seems you have lost this round again.”

Duan Congxing shivered, stepping forward to touch each of the cracked wasted jades, finally letting out a defeated sigh, “Alright, this time the Duan Family acknowledges the defeat!

I will have someone prepare the assets.”

Considering that 10% was forfeited to the Ouyang Family, though losing 20% of the assets would severely affect the Duan Family, it wouldn’t hurt their foundational strength.

“Old Ghost Duan, my Ouyang Family’s threshold is high, watch your step,” said Mr.

Ouyang with a smirk as he watched Duan Congxing storm off.

“Crack—” To everyone’s slight amusement, when Duan Congxing reached the doorway, he failed to lift his foot properly and indeed stumbled over the threshold.

“Get out of the way!” He pushed away two individuals who attempted to help him up and stormed off alone.
