Outside of the Imperial Capital, in front of the dueling stage, quite a few people had already gathered, and aside from some of the idlers who often watched the spectacle, there were also quite a few sons of the Imperial Capital.
Today was the day of the life and death duel between Long Chen and Li Hao, and although there were constant duels here on weekdays, there weren't many life and death duels.
Not to mention that it was a life and death duel between two sons of the world, and even though their cultivation was not earth-shattering, it still attracted countless people to come and watch.
And in the most famous gambling house in the entire Imperial Capital, the Phantom Blue Gambling House, a handicap was opened for all gamblers to choose from:
Li Hao wins, one to two.
Dragon Dust wins, one to ten.
Because of the life and death duel, there wouldn't be any possibility of counterfeiting, especially with the two sons, who had noble status, betting on the life and death of the two sons with money was a very exciting thing to do.
For a while, even people who weren't gamblers began to place their bets one after another, except that they basically bought Li Hao to win.
Although the last time Long Chen had defeated Li Hao, but at that time Li Hao, was completely defenseless and was drilled by Long Chen, miracles don't happen twice in a row.
However, there is also a small portion of people, like to play exciting, desperate, want to take a small risk, just buy Long Duan victory, but this part of the people is very small.
The betting place, not far from the ring, the people who voted for Li Hao's side to win were filling up, but the place to buy Long Duan's victory was indeed deserted.
"Pressing 300,000 gold coins for Long Chen's victory."
Suddenly a tall man appeared in front of that person in charge of registration and threw over a crystal card.
"What?"
The man was shocked, it had been almost half a morning and he had only received a total of just over 10,000 gold coins here, he almost thought that he had heard wrong.
That tall man was no other than Shi Feng, who had been entrusted by Long Chen to press all the gold coins on himself.
Long Chen expected that his life and death duel with Li Hao, because of his identity, with the strength of the Yu Lan Gambling House, he would surely open up the market.
This kind of life and death duel, the Pixie Blue Gambling House, even if they knew that they would lose money, they still needed to come and do it, otherwise they would lose great popularity.
The place where they made the most money was their own internal gambling, and this kind of peripheral gambling, they also had to participate in, otherwise it would cause dissatisfaction amongst the gamblers.
However, people's Phantom Blue Gambling House was rich and powerful, even if they lost money, it was nothing and they could afford to play, so Long Dust was fixated on this point.
The original pair of bets was changed to the current pressurized periphery, one was one to one, one was one to ten, as long as Long Dust wasn't stupid, he knew what to do.
He had raised more than two hundred thousand gold coins yesterday with the help of Fatty Yu and the others, and after handing the gold coins over to Shi Feng, Shi Feng saw that Long Dust was so sure of himself, he also clenched his teeth and raised the gold coins to three hundred thousand.
Shi Feng's family was not rich, because Shi family members were straight and short-tempered, not good at business, in fact, it was not as rich as Fatty Yu and other people's family.
In order to raise money, he had mortgaged his weapons, his armor, and scraped together enough money just to make a crazy bet with Long Chen.
After receiving the receipt from the man, Shi Feng's heart couldn't help but beat a few times, brother ah, you can be whole and steady, brother's belongings, can be taken out.

When it is almost noon, Li Hao has come, only to see a little bit of ground, flying and jumping on the ten feet high ring, at once caused a burst of shouts of applause.
Those voices, however, were not made for his stance, but were shouted because the prologue of the duel was about to kick off, and the good show was finally about to begin.
Today, Li Hao wore a strong suit, his body was clean and very durable, he couldn't help but have a touch of arrogance appear on his face: Long Dust, the humiliation you gave me, I will give it back to you tenfold.
However, after Li Hao went on stage, waited for half a day, and did not see Long Dust appear, people can not help but be a little puzzled, it can not be afraid to come, right?
The crowd was wondering when the old man guarding the ring coldly said, "The duel you agreed on was at 3:00 noon, you came half an hour early, you can choose to wait on the stage or come down and wait"
Everyone booed when they heard this, and Li Hao, who was originally spirited in the ring, couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded: nima, how did I forget to look at the hour.
"No matter, I'll just wait for him on the stage, he's a dying man anyway, his time is much more valuable than mine"
Li Hao smiled faintly, and just sat cross-legged on the ring, quite a picture of a master's demeanor, but the master's demeanor, after maintaining it for a while, was a bit off.
Because it was noon, the sun was extremely hot, and the ring was paved with black rock slabs, which were boiling hot and could basically fry an egg.
But Li Hao couldn't stand up again after he had already sat down, and in order to maintain his master's demeanor, he suffered from the torment at all times.
Some people with sharp eyes had already noticed that underneath Li Hao's butt, smoke had begun to rise slightly, and for a while everyone's faces were extremely strange.
"This person is really idiotic enough, dying to save face and living to suffer, in a moment, before the battle even starts, his butt is going to be cooked"
A delicate laugh came out from a woman's mouth, in the distance, two masked women, faintly looked at the ring.
"To put it bluntly, it's hypocrisy," the other woman shook her head.
"Sister Mengqi, we've been here for several days, when are you going to withdraw from him" the woman asked.
The woman known as Mengqi, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she said with some difficulty, "Now that he's in a difficult situation, if I take the risk of proposing to withdraw from the marriage at this time, it would be too brutal for him, and I'm also a bit at a loss as to what to do."
"But, this matter dragging on like this is not a solution ah, master has urged us several times, if we don't return to the mountain, I'm afraid we'll be chastised.
Moreover, with your qualifications, sister, you can step into the innate and touch the Heavenly Dao in the future, you are destined to be from two worlds with him, there's not much of a result at all." That woman sighed and said.
"But, I always feel that doing this, I am very sorry for him, alas ...... or just take another look at it," Mengqi gently shook her head, a trace of bitterness flowed through her beautiful eyes.
That woman saw Meng Qi still a little hesitant, just about to speak, suddenly saw a commotion in the distant crowd, could not help but rush to look over there.
Only to see a black-robed man in the crowd, slowly walking, sword eyebrows, eyes, elegant, with a unique atmosphere, giving a very deep feeling.
He was like a well, on the surface it looked like nothing, but no one could see through him, no one could see through his depths, as if he himself was like a mystery.
Even that woman and Meng Qi, seeing Long Chen appearing in such an image, they couldn't help but have their hearts swaying, it had to be said that the current Long Chen was a world of difference from when they saw him a few days ago, the current Long Chen was full of confidence.
Seeing Long Chen arrived, Li Hao "miso" jumped up from the ground, feeling a burst of hot pain in his buttocks, his heart burst of indignation.
"Long Chen, come up here and die," Li Hao shouted angrily.
Long Chen didn't even look at Li Hao, he glanced through the crowd and saw Shi Feng nodding with himself, so he couldn't help but let go of his heart.
Not only did he see Shi Feng, he also saw Fatty Yu and the others, who had obviously come over to cheer for him.
Long Chen smiled faintly at them and turned towards the ring, Li Hao jumped up while Long Chen took the stairs up.
For a moment those who had pressed Long Chen to win, their hearts were suddenly half-cooled, feeling that the little money they had invested, I'm afraid that most of them would have to go without a return.
"Long Duan."
Seeing that Long Chen had finally come up, Li Hao couldn't help but grit his teeth and spit out two words.
"Idiot, ass paste," Long Dust looked at Li Hao and couldn't help but sneer.
In fact, he had been here for a long time, only that he had been hiding in the distance to cool off, so no one had noticed him, but he had seen everything over here clearly.
"Three minutes to noon has arrived, both parties sign on the life and death contract."
Just then, that old man took out a piece of paperwork, Long Chen smiled slightly and left his name on it.
This time was different from last time, there was no longer such a thing as admitting defeat, the winning party had the power to decide whether the other party lived or died.
After Li Hao signed, he looked at Long Chen with a fierce face, "Little bastard, today I will return the humiliation you gave me, a hundred times back to you"
Now that the life and death contract had been signed, this ring now became the place for them to decide their deaths, without anyone being the referee.
"Sharp blade cuts the body heals fast, bad words hurt people's hatred doesn't go away, it seems you don't understand, you provoke me again and again, this is forcing me ah"
Long Chen took a deep breath, a flash of thick killing intent surfaced in his eyes, ever since the last time Zhou Yaoyang, said that he was not the seed of Long Tianxiao, some people started to use this word with insulting words to address him.
"Go to hell, scum."
Li Hao let out a cold laugh and roared as his entire body's aura revolved, and a wave of spiritual energy could be seen flowing around him with the naked eye.
The people under the stage all looked at each other and smiled, this Li Hao had suffered a big loss last time, did not run the true essence to protect his body, and was successfully attacked by Long Duan in one fell swoop, this time he had already set up his defense in advance.
Although they were only at the Qi gathering realm, and their spiritual energy could not be released externally, but by running their spiritual energy to protect their bodies, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to inflict damage on them.
Li Hao finished arranging his defense, and with a sardonic smile on his face, he lunged at Long Chen, his hands forming a grip and grabbing at Long Chen's shoulders.
The two claws were covered in aura, no different from iron hooks, if an ordinary person was grabbed, their shoulder bones would immediately be shattered.
"Good, Li Hao, completely waste this scumbag."
A loud roar came from the stage, and that person was no other than Wang Mang, who had half of his teeth knocked out by Long Chen's slap in the Palace of Imperial Learning.
Now Wang Mang is young, half of his teeth are gone, nowadays the elixir that can regenerate bones, with his family's strength, he can't afford to buy it at all, nowadays he has long hated Long Chen to death, seeing that Long Chen is going to be handheld, he can't help but shout loudly.
His side shouted, Shi Feng, Fatty Yu and others all changed their faces, Long Chen since the beginning, did not show a trace of cultivation, so that their hearts instantly raised in their throats.
Long Chen looked at Li Hao as he lunged, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and with a single step of his feet, his entire body was like a shadow as he met Li Hao.
"There was a loud bang.
