"What big thing? Is it so panicked? Could it be that the Blood Shadow Sect launched another attack?" Shi Sheng said in confusion.

"No, it's not... someone just made a bet!" Shi Yong calmed down a little at this time and said carefully.

"Shi Yong, are you crazy? Someone is making such a fuss when he comes to bet!" Shi Yan frowned and shouted.

"But the bet was Jiang Chen, and his three best friends Wan Liang, Bu Zheng and Wang Zihan. They bet a total of 145 million spirit stones, of which Jiang Chen, one of them, placed a million spirit stones!" Shi Yong finally said this in one go.

"Damn it! Jiang Chen is really rich! It seems that he made a big fuss when he was fighting against the Ziyin Sect before. If he had known that the Ziyin Sect was so easy to fight, I should have signed up to go to Wunan City to guard!" After hearing this, Yuan Quan licked his lips and said with envy.

"Who won the Jiang Chen bought? Could it be that he won the money by himself?" Yu Ze also asked in surprise.

"Senior Brother Yu, Jiang Chen is the one who bought it and won by himself. Wan Liang, Bu Zheng and Wang Zihan also bought it. And judging from the expressions on their faces, they seemed to be full of confidence." Shi Yong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a serious face.

"What? He actually has such confidence in himself?" Even Shi Yan was a little surprised.

"Brother, what are you worried about?" Shi Sheng said with a cold look: "Don't worry! I will definitely win this time."

"Brother, you have a great hope of winning. After all, you have nearly a hundred years of cultivation time than Jiang Chen. Regardless of cultivation, experience, and magic weapons are above him..." Shi Yan nodded and said, "However, Jiang Chen has really defeated Jindan masters like Yan Nantian and Yan Nannan. It means that he may have really two tricks, not just relying on the queen of the eighth-level monster to show off his power."

Shi Yong said carefully at this time: "Uncle... Having said that, since Jiang Chen dared to bet on 500,000 spirit stones with Uncle, he now bets on 1 million spirit stones to bet on himself to win. Maybe he really has some support. After all, when I was fighting with him in Wunan City before, I saw his elusive plan!"

After hearing this, Shi Sheng disagreed and said, "Shi Yong, you were also scared by him! It may be good for him to command the battle, but that only means that he has the ability to command the commander... But this is a one-on-one battle between two people! What strange tricks can he have?"

"That's it! In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is broken with just one stab! Besides, tomorrow's duel, the sect leader and the elder are coming. Even if Jiang Chen has any shameful acts, he probably won't dare to use them in full view of everyone!" Yu Ze, Yuan Quan and others naturally sneered at Shi Yong's words.

"Well. Having said that, brother, you can't be careless. In my opinion, Jiang Chen might use evil tricks such as poisoning or placing a cup. We must be careful. I will find a few brothers who are good at using poison. I will borrow some magic weapons for anti-virus and anti-toxic pills and pills for detoxification. You can bring them with you at that time just in case!" Shi Yan stood up and said.

Shi Sheng naturally followed his brother's arrangement, and then the people in the room began to calculate the bets and odds on both sides again, so as not to lose too much after Shi Sheng wins.

The sun rose soon the next day. Under the dawn, Jiang Chen took big steps towards the martial arts stage.

The square halfway up the mountain of Tianmo Peak is the place where the Tianmo Sect holds important ceremonies and gatherings. Five years ago, when Jiang Chen took the sect exam, he entered the trial space from the teleportation array in this square.

The martial arts arena is on the west side of the square, a large arena of a hundred feet in radius. There is also a defensive restriction around the arena. When it is necessary to separate the duels, it can be activated by the Jindan stage ancestor who controls the array eyes to raise a barrier between the two to isolate the two parties to avoid being unable to stop and causing serious injuries or death.

Of course, to launch this ban, a lot of spirit stones is required, and a Jindan stage ancestor needs to control it. Therefore, ordinary disciples are not qualified to duel here. Most of the people who come here are Jindan stage monks.

However, Jiang Chen is now a guardian and has a very famous reputation in the sect. His opponent is Shi Sheng from the early stage of the Golden Pill, so he is naturally qualified to use this arena.

News of the duel between Jiang Chen and Shi Sheng had already spread far away. Not only the disciples of the Tianmo Sect, but also Shui Yuening, Shui Tianzhun, Wang Lin, Lin Feng and others were attracted to watch the battle. For a moment, the square was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder.

Since almost all the disciples of the other seven peaks of the Heavenly Demon Sect confronted the Blood Shadow Sect in the south, most of the disciples left on the Heavenly Demon Mountain were disciples of Tianyou Peak.

Although many people know that the ancestor Tianyou and Jiang Chen have a close relationship, and Jiang Chen is a hero who turns the tide for the Tianmo Sect and reverses the situation in the north. However, emotionally, they still tend to be Shi Sheng, the ancestor of the Jindan stage of the peak.

Most of the people cheering for Jiang Chen were the other seven-peak disciples who fought back from Wunan City with him. But compared with the Tianyou Peak disciples who stayed in the Tianmo City in almost all the peaks, the number was still too small.

"Come on, Brother Jiang! We believe you will be able to create another miracle and defeat Shi Sheng!" Wan Liang and others shouted loudly.

However, their cheers were soon drowned out by the shouts of the disciples of Tianyou Peak.

"Uncle Shi, you must win! Our Tianyou Peak is always the strongest!" A fanatical disciple of Tianyou Peak shouted loudly.

"Uncle Shishi, we have bet heavily on you! I believe you will not disappoint us!" A disciple who was fat and big-eared and probably had bet a lot of spirit stones also shouted excitedly.

"Tianyou Peak will win! Uncle Shishi will win!" A large group of young disciples from the Qi Refining Stage formed a cheerleader shouting slogans.

Jiang Chen was as if he had not heard of these Tianyou Peak disciples. He jumped gently and flew onto this extremely huge arena.

Immediately, Shi Sheng carried the giant axe very steadily and walked onto the ring with great strides. When he released the long-handled giant axe on his shoulder and the axe heavily, the entire ring couldn't help but shake a little.

The sect leader Tu Junde, the great elder Zilou and several Jindan ancestors of Tianyou Peak were all sitting in the VIP seat. Tu Junde was naturally the one who took the final referee's victory or defeat. The task of controlling the array eye was handed over to Zi Xi. She had a good time with Jiang Chen and was a brother of the same peak with Shi Sheng, and no one was more suitable than her.

Zi Xi looked at the two people on the stage, and her pretty eyes showed a look of worry. Although she believed that with her, there would never be any serious injury or death. However, after this battle, one side's reputation and prestige would inevitably be severely hit. Whether it is Jiang Chen's defeat or Shi Sheng's defeat, I believe that their confidence and future cultivation will have a huge impact. This is what she least wants to see.

However, compared with the two, she still prefers Jiang Chen. After all, Jiang Chen has a special feeling in her heart...

At this time, Shi Sheng raised the giant axe in his hand, took a big step forward, and laughed: "Jiang Chen, you dare to challenge me, a Jindan cultivator with your cultivation level in the Foundation Establishment Stage. It is very admirable for me! Given that you have this courage and are admired by Senior Sister Zixi, I will show mercy and will not let you lie for ten or half a month. You will only let you lie for three or four days! Hahaha!"

After hearing his provocative words, Jiang Chen frowned slightly and said, "Shi Sheng, I still regard you as a character, but I didn't expect you to be able to show off your verbal skills. It seems that I still look down on you!"

After hearing this, Shi Sheng sprayed a thick breath in his nose. He suddenly said from the side of his courage: "Since you are so ignorant, don't blame me for not giving you face! I want to see, what's wrong with you?"

After saying that, the giant axe in his hand suddenly swung. With a huge wave of spiritual power, it slashed towards Jiang Chen's head like a mountain pressing down on him.

At the same time, Shi Sheng opened his big mouth and actually sprayed a stream of black mist from his mouth, forming three hovering black dragons in the air. He flew straight to the left, right and back three directions where Jiang Chen stood, intending to lock Jiang Chen's dodge direction so that he could not dodge, so he could only take his own slash.

Shi Sheng was so fierce that Tu Junde and Zilou, who were sitting in the VIP seat, were shocked. With their eyes, they naturally saw that Shi Sheng used at least 80% of his strength, and ordinary Great Perfection Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage may not be able to take it. Not to mention a mid-stage Cultivator like Jiang Chen.

These two highest leaders of the Heavenly Demon Sect had a pretty good impression of Jiang Chen. Although he felt that he was a bit arrogant in challenging Shi Sheng, he didn't expect that he would be defeated too badly at once and would lose confidence. After all, this son's alchemy and strategic combat abilities are all very clever.

Zi Xi's jade hand was trembling slightly, and she was about to launch Jiang Chen if he couldn't take it down, she immediately activated the ban in the formation to isolate him. But what she was worried about was that there was still a certain delay in launching the ban. What if a small part of the spiritual power could not be blocked and hurt Jiang Chen?

Just as everyone was holding their breath, Jiang Chen smiled slightly, as if he didn't take the axe seriously. At this moment, he pulled out his newly-cast black soul-breaking sword, used his spiritual power, and slashed upwards. He saw a black energy soaring into the sky, carrying a powerful aura that was not suppressed by the giant axe, and met hard.

The shocking sound of "Bang!" made the entire ring shake gently. Jiang Chen's legs tremble slightly and bent down for several inches, but he finally resisted Shi Sheng's overwhelming attack.

After the smoke and dust disappeared, the onlookers discovered that Jiang Chen was still standing on the ring without even taking a step back or being injured, but there was some dust on his body.

"Oh my God! Jiang Chen actually resisted Uncle Shi's fierce slash head-on. Did I read it wrong? Is he really a mid-stage cultivator in the foundation building?"

"Yes! It surprised me so much. I think, maybe Uncle Shi didn't use all his strength! Otherwise, Jiang Chen Chen could take it?"

"Even if you don't use all your strength, this chop will have at least 80% of its strength. I'm afraid that even the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage may not be able to resist it. But Jiang Chen only has the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation level!"

"No wonder his ability to turn the tide and kill Yan Nantian and Yan Nannan is not entirely up to that powerful eighth-level queen!"

The disciples of Tianyou Peak who were watching the game on the spot immediately exclaimed a burst of marvels. They never dreamed that Jiang Chen would be so powerful that he would dare to fight Shi Sheng, who was known for his might, and really resist Shi Sheng's slash.

And this is exactly the effect Jiang Chen wanted. The reason why he proposed to fight Shi Sheng alone was not an impulse, but wanted to take this opportunity to establish his prestige in front of the senior officials and ordinary disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
