Chapter 295 - Such Worship (1/2)
“There’s no need to investigate. Who else would hope that I die besides the gambling house? And who else would have the ability to hire an a.s.sa.s.sin with Battle Qi Level 9 Pinnacle Stage abilities?” said Ling Chuxi coldly. This question was one that she had already thought about earlier on. Besides the gambling house, there was no one else who would be willing to pay such a huge price to kill her.
Ling Yichen also comprehended this at once and instantly a murderous look appeared on his face.
“Wait, don’t attack them yet. Let’s wait till we’ve gotten all the winnings from our bets, then we can slowly clean them up,” instructed Ling Chuxi. This vengeance needed to be exacted. But before that, they should earn the money that was theirs. Attacking the gambling house now was going too easy on them.
Fu Chengyu’s expression also as dark as deep waters. He had never thought that the gambling house would use such methods just to change the outcome of their bets, and that they would actually hire an a.s.sa.s.sin to kill Ling Chuxi.
The a.s.sa.s.sination attempt did not affect Ling Chuxi much. Early the next morning, Ling Chuxi woke up, practiced all her moves and adjusted her condition to its peak. She knew that today’s battle would definitely be the most exciting and also the most difficult one she’d fight in the entire compet.i.tion. She had witnessed Baili Han’s cultivation last night. It was definitely not something she could look down upon.
On this day, the streets of the capital were swarmed with people. Everyone was moving in a single direction. All of them were going to watch the final match today.
The position on the highest watching platform of the training arena was designated for people with special statuses. For example, the bald dean of Wind Cloud Academy, people from the Deity Temple, the Prime Minister and members of the royal family. The atmosphere in the whole training arena was very lively. The discussions of others around them filled everyone’s eardrums, as people talked about who they thought would be the final winner of the compet.i.tion. The hawkers were also making full use of the bustling atmosphere to sell their wares.
At this moment, Ling Chuxi was eating a kind of glutinous rice ball skewered on a bamboo stick and scrunching her eyes up as she savored the taste of it comfortably. This particular kind of glutinous rice ball was coated with a layer of caramelized sugar, which made it taste particularly delicious. In the eyes of outsiders, she was not facing any pressure at all.
Just at this moment, the crowd became fl.u.s.tered.
“The Lord Divine Messenger from the Deity Temple is coming through.”
“Are you kidding me? Where? Where?”
“Over there!”
