Chapter 287: Use small things to make big things happen
Warrior group? Chai Yan is quite curious about this term.
The middle-aged man in the ring repeated what he just said, with a look of contempt as he spoke, as if to say, no one in the capital of your prosperous dynasty can fight!
The Western Region people's arena has been set up since the morning, and it has been more than three hours now. There are many challengers who have come on stage one after another, but no one can defeat them and win the one hundred taels of gold.
The middle-aged man repeated the question for the third time. Seeing that everyone in the audience was looking around and no one dared to come up to challenge, he immediately sneered and said loudly: "Since there are no challengers, today's challenge ends here.
, please come early tomorrow!"
Li Chaowen, Zhao Delong and Sun Xingba became anxious as soon as they heard this. They said to themselves that if you said it was over as soon as they arrived, wouldn't our trip be in vain?
Sun Xingba then said: "Brother Li, Brother Zhao, I'll go meet them!"
Zhao Delong went to stop Sun Xingba and said, "No, you wait first, I'll go take a look!"
After speaking, Zhao Delong nodded towards Li Chaowen.
Li Chaowen understood and agreed: "Yes, don't worry, let Lao Zhao go and find out!"
Among the three of them, Sun Xingba was the strongest, so neither Zhao nor Li wanted to let Sun Xingba take the lead.
Zhao Delong suddenly raised his hand in the crowd and shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, there's me too!"
As soon as this sound came out, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Delong, and the middle-aged man in the ring also looked over.
Zhao Delong walked out of the crowd with his head held high, came to the ring, jumped up and easily stood on the ring, cupped his fists and said: "I'm Zhao Delong, I'm here to learn from you!"
As soon as the middle-aged man saw Zhao Delong's skills, he knew that the one coming was not weak. He immediately clasped his fists and said politely: "It turns out to be Daxia Zhao. I have admired him for a long time..."
Zhao Delong looked arrogant and kept his hands behind his back without saying a word, just waiting for his opponent to come on stage.
The middle-aged man was not in a hurry and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, Master Zhao, do you want to bet ten taels or a hundred taels?"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Delong didn't understand.
Not only Zhao Delong didn't understand, but Chai Yan in the audience didn't understand either. Sun Xingba and Li Chaowen both looked confused.
The middle-aged man said: "I think Daxia Zhao has just arrived, and he doesn't know the rules of challenging on stage yet..."
"What rules?" Zhao Delong asked.
The middle-aged man turned sideways, stretched out his hand to gesture to the gold ingot on the table behind him, and said: "Any challenger who comes up can choose to pay a bet between ten taels and one hundred taels of silver. If he wins, he will win."
Take the corresponding amount of gold!”
"The corresponding amount?" Zhao Delong frowned slightly.
Seeing that Zhao Delong was not very clear, the middle-aged man explained: "In other words, if Zhao Daxia bets ten taels of silver, then after defeating the warriors of our warrior group, he can take away ten taels of gold! And ten taels of silver.
All bets will be returned! Similarly, if you bet fifty taels of silver, you can win fifty taels of gold, and so on, the highest bet is one hundred taels of silver..."
Then, the middle-aged man added: "If Daxia Zhao fails to win the warriors of the warrior group within the specified time limit, then the money bet, haha, we will not return it!"
It turns out that small things lead to great things!
Zhao Delong reached out and took out a silver note from his arms and said: "This is twenty taels of silver note, it is my bet!"
It's not that Zhao Delong didn't dare to challenge the one hundred taels of gold, but that he came out in a hurry. He only brought twenty taels of silver notes and some broken silver. He couldn't borrow money from the people below on the stage. Then the momentum just now was not
All leaked?
Twenty taels is twenty taels, so let’s try the water first.
The middle-aged man took the 20 taels of silver and took a look at it, then showed it to the audience and said loudly: "Dear readers, Daxia Zhao is betting on 20 taels to challenge the warrior group!"
Immediately, the crowd in the audience burst into applause, and some people cheered loudly.
The middle-aged man put away the banknote and said to Zhao Delong: "Please wait a moment, Master Zhao, the warrior will be here immediately!"
After that, the middle-aged man returned to the back of the ring.
At the same time, the rapid drum beat also sounded, and everyone could understand that this was the prelude before the warriors came on stage...
As soon as the drum beat stopped, a tall man with tight muscles and a fierce face walked onto the ring. It seemed that this man was Zhao Delong's opponent.
When Zhao Delong saw his opponent appearing, he cupped his fists and said, "I haven't asked for advice..."
The tall man said coldly: "You want to know what my name is, and I won't tell you until I win!"
Zhao Delong was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Arrogant!"
After saying that, Zhao Delong took a fighting stance.
"Wait a minute!"
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man walked onto the ring. At this time, he held a lit stick of incense in his hand and inserted it into a small incense burner on the table after he came on stage...
The middle-aged man turned around and said: "Master Zhao, within the next one stick of incense, you need to knock your opponent off the ring, or make your opponent fall to the ground, or your opponent surrenders. Only in this way can you win the challenge! Otherwise, you have to win the challenge!"
, a draw counts as your loss..."
Zhao Delong's mouth twitched slightly and he said confidently: "Huh, one stick of incense is more than enough!"
"Hahaha......."
The tall man laughed loudly after hearing this, his smile full of disdain.
This angered Zhao Delong, who immediately shouted and attacked the tall man.
In an instant, the two people on the ring were fighting hand to hand, while the middle-aged man behind him walked off the ring with a calm expression.
Although Chai Yan didn't know martial arts, he saw that Zhao Delong punched the opponent's body, but the opponent caught it without changing his expression. He immediately felt that this person was not simple!
After watching for a while, Chai Yan moved closer to Li Chaowen and whispered: "Brother Li, this guy is so tough. After taking so many punches from Brother Zhao, he still looks like a normal person..."
"
"Yes! With just one stick of incense, it would be very difficult for Zhao Delong to defeat his opponent..."
When speaking, Li Chaowen looked worried, and his eyes never left the two men fighting fiercely on the ring.
Sun Xingba was fully immersed in the fight in the ring. He had already involved himself in the fight. While pumping his fists, he said urgently: "Hit him, harder, harder!"
It's a pity that Zhao Delong is not as big as Sun Xingba after all. After attacking with all his strength for a while, he suddenly saw that only a little of the fine incense in the incense burner was burning.
When Zhao Delong realized that the time was coming, he became anxious at that time. There was a flaw in his haste, and the opponent accurately grasped the flaw. After dodging Zhao Delong's punch, he pushed hard with both palms.
"Poof!" Zhao Delong raised his head and spurted out a mouthful of blood. His body instantly flew back several feet and fell heavily to the edge of the ring with a "bang".
