Others might not know the ins and outs of this fight, but how could Eggy not?
Li Mo was only doing this to make a name for himself. Why else would Li Mo fight a peak late Earth immortal stage cultivator?
Eggy's heart softened as she spoke to the red-eyed, crazed youth.
"A hundred thousand low spirit stones is a good bet on Li Mo.
After all, the odds are ten to one. In case of an accident, you can still earn some back. "
"Why didn't you bet?"
However, what Eggy didn't expect was that her good intentions would be taken as malicious intent by others.
"Betting on Nangong Nan's victory is like giving spirit stones for free.
And you want me to bet on Li Mo?
Why didn't you? "
Eggy was speechless. 'I'm scared you won't get your spirit stones back.'
'You think so highly of me.'
Eggy slammed the table in anger, "Fine!
I'll bet! "
Eggy waved her hand.
Everyone's eyes went blurry until they saw the spirit stones on the table.
Their eyes went wide and their chests felt suffocated.
"Th-three high-grade spirit stones?"
Even the sharp-mouthed monkey-like youth, who was used to seeing water every day, was shocked speechless.
Those who came here to gamble were mostly at the Nascent Soul or Golden Core Realm.
The extremes of Earth Immortal and Core Formation were rarely seen.
Therefore, there were very few people who were bold enough to use high-grade spirit stones as a wager.
"This …"
The red-eyed youth was also shocked speechless. He was just questioning why Eggy didn't bet on Li Mo.
In the end, the other party directly took out three high-grade spirit stones!
Three high-grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to three million low-grade Spirit Stones.
However, compared to the 100,000 low-grade spirit stones that he had spent a lot of effort to borrow, it was not just a little bit more expensive.
The onlooker had a clear view of the situation.
The young man with red eyes was stunned by the three high-grade spirit stones, but the rest of the people noticed something else.
High spirit stones were the product of an Earth Immortal's cultivation. Even an early Earth Immortal wouldn't find it easy to take out three high spirit stones in one go.
So the crowd took a few steps back, not daring to offend Eggy.
After all, this was the Life and Death Arena.
This ace in the Earth Celestial Stage dragged them to the underground Life and Death Ring and beat them up, and they couldn't do anything.
Looking at the three high-grade spirit stones on the table, the monkey-like youth asked with uncertainty.
"Sir, are you going all-in on Li Mo?"
Was there something wrong with him? Even if he wanted to give him spirit stones, he shouldn't have done it this way.
"What?
Not enough?
Shall I add some more? "
Eggy glared at the monkey-like youth and asked.
"Enough, enough …"
The sharp-mouthed, monkey-like young man was so scared that he stuttered. Then, he glared at his companion.
"What are you doing?
What are you waiting for? Put away your spirit stones and write out a bill for the lord! "
"Yes!"
That person complied, then swiftly put away the spirit stones, and gave Eggy a slip.
Back on the stage, Nangong Nan twirled his hands and a Ghost Blade appeared in his hands.
The Demon Saber, as tall as a man, was heavy and sharp, pointed at Li Mo.
"Stinking brat!
How do you want to die? "
"Old woman, you're really arrogant."
Li Mo chuckled and took out the peak sacred weapon, the Starry Sword.
This' old hag 'pissed Nangong Nan off. She brandished Demon Saber and charged Li Mo.
Seeing Nangong Nan charging at him, Li Mo's mind sank.
The one charging at him was no longer an old woman, but a woman as beautiful as a flower!
A woman's every frown and smile carried endless charm.
Li Mo smiled at the 'beauty' charging at him.
"Not bad. You've trained the Nine Tails Charm Art to this level, able to use charm with every move.
You even have a natural charm body. If I were in the mid Earth Immortal stage, I would've fallen for it.
But … "
Li Mo's eyes tightened and flashed with a cold light.
Amidst the cold light was an azure color, Li Mo's illusion.
Illusion versus charm. Li Mo's mind cleared.
The figure of the 'beauty' in front of him gradually dissipated, and turned back into the senile Nangong Nan.
Clang!
Li Mo's Starry Sword spun and Starry Sky was unsheathed to block the Demon Saber's attack.
"Impossible!"
Nangong Nan gasped in shock. How could this kid, whose cultivation was only at the Medium Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage, resist my Nine-Tailed Charm Technique?
Nangong Nan was no longer as elegant as Nangong Mei 'er due to her age.
But Nangong Nan's Nine Tails Charm Art was far superior to Nangong Mei 'er's.
Thus, Nangong Nan's Nine Tails Charm Art was even stronger than Nangong Mei 'er's in her prime!
"Stinky old woman!
Stop trying to seduce me. Don't you find it disgusting? "
Li Mo cursed in disgust.
"Brat, you're asking for it!"
Nangong Nan's temper flared in the first exchange.
The Demon Saber shook off the Starry Sword and charged at Li Mo.
Although her seduction technique was useless against this strange kid, it was still not enough.
But she was a peak late Earth Immortal stage expert. How could fighting a mid Earth Immortal brat be any different?
Clanging sounds could be heard. Sword and saber lights flashed on the arena.
The shockwaves of the battle caused the barrier around the arena to creak. The spectators watched with their mouths wide open.
Li Mo suppressed his cultivation to mid Earth Immortal stage, but his battle experience and physical strength still outstripped Nangong Nan's.
"I'm done for … my hundred thousand low grade spirit stones!"
The young man's eyes were bloodshot. When he saw this scene, his face turned ashen.
Many of these 100,000 low-grade spirit stones were borrowed by him.
The same thing happened in the other stands.
The faces of those who were prepared to make a fortune all turned deathly pale.
Now that the fight was over, they couldn't even bet on Li Mo's victory.
The casino wasn't a fool.
"Huff …"
Nangong Nan was panting from Li Mo's relentless attacks.
Then Nangong Nan pulled away from Li Mo and roared.
"Demon Art!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless shadows appeared around Nangong Nan's body.
Whoosh!
Then, Nangong Nan moved.
The figure spun a few rounds in the air along with the phantom image from before.
These phantoms were exactly the same as Nangong Nan. For a moment, it was hard to tell which was real and which was fake.
Nangong Nan, who was hiding among the phantoms like a ghost, charged forward together with those phantoms.
Although Nangong Nan had a lot of phantom images and ghostly blades, Nangong Nan had a lot of them.
But Li Mo knew only one of them was real. The rest were just to confuse him.
Li Mo closed his eyes and spread his spiritual sense.
"Courting death!"
Seeing this kid in the Medium Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage dare to close his eyes and fight with him, countless virtual shadows started to curse loudly.
But Li Mo only grinned at the cursing.
"Phantom Art?
If one's divine sense was not strong enough, they would not be able to escape.
I really couldn't find you, but now … "
With that, Li Mo vanished from the spot.
"Buzz!"
An intimidating sword light flashed, illuminating the entire sky.
The sword light that filled the sky pierced towards one of the countless figures.
If Nangong Nan hadn't said that, Li Mo would've been looking for him for a while.
Of course, Nangong Nan wouldn't have been able to turn defeat into victory.
But now, Li Mo found Nangong Nan's figure and stabbed.
It was still in the Medium Stage of Earth Celestial Stage, but with Li Mo's Sword Heart.
It was enough to defeat Nangong Nan.
