Chapter 655

Huangfu Wuji's Gambling Fight

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Moon Embracing Pavilion had become strange and quiet. Everyone stared at the confrontation between Huangfu Wuji and Zhuowen with strange eyes. Without a doubt, Zhuowen's words just now had been extremely bold and reckless.

Although Zhuowen had the support of Lü Hantian, Huangfu Wuji had the entire Imperial Family and the Azure Emperor behind him. Moreover, Huangfu Wuji was an existence ranked in the top ten of the Azure Emperor Proclamation. Whether it was background or strength, Huangfu Wuji was far superior to Zhuowen.

But Zhuowen was like a moth flying into a flame. In the eyes of many, this was an extremely stupid behavior.

Puchi!

Within the quiet Moon Embracing Pavilion, a clear and melodious laughter suddenly sounded out, breaking the quiet atmosphere. Everyone's eyes turned to Huangfu Wuji, who was facing Mu Xue, who was covering her face with a veil, and was actually laughing.

Huangfu Wuji and Zhuowen, who were originally facing off against each other, were also attracted by this bird-like laughter. After discovering that the owner of this laughter was Mu Xue, the two of them had different expressions.

Zhuowen revealed an astonished expression. He never thought that the Saintess of the Burning Heaven Sect, who had always been cold and aloof, would actually laugh because of his words.

In contrast to Zhuowen's astonishment, Huangfu Wuji's complexion was as cold as the dead of winter. His mood was extremely bad. He had originally wanted to put on a good show in front of Mu Xue, but now, because of this little bastard in front of him, he had made a fool of himself.

Zhuowen's laughter was like a knife, causing Huangfu Wuji's heart to be filled with a raging inferno. His hatred towards Zhuowen was like a torrential river, surging with waves.

"You despicable little bastard!

Do you really want to die? "

Stepping forward, Huangfu Wuji's eyes coldly stared at Zhuowen. A terrifying aura erupted from him. He wished that he could cut this boy who didn't know the immensity of the heavens and earth into a thousand pieces.

"Oh?

You want to start a fight in the Moon Embracing Pavilion?

As the second prince of the royal family, I can't believe that you would attack a nobody like me. I don't know if it's my honor, or if you're as lowly as I am, Second Prince? "

Zhuowen raised his head, the corners of his lips curling up. He stared at Huangfu Wuji with a cold and fearless expression.

Huangfu Wuji narrowed his eyes and immediately calmed down. Just as Zhuowen had said, if he really did anything to Zhuowen, then it really might damage his reputation. Moreover, that Lü Hantian cared a lot about this Zhuowen.

Lü Hantian was a madman. If he were to make a move, the Lü Hantian would probably even dare to hit him. When that happened, his reputation would be ruined, and he would be even worse off than Flamewing.

However, Huangfu Wuji was extremely unwilling to let Zhuowen go like this. He narrowed his eyes and lightly said, "Humph!

I don't want to fight with a lowly person like you. That will only dirty my hands. "

"Hehe!

You really are a hypocritical idiot. "Zhuowen lightly said as he shook his head.

Huangfu Wuji's pupils shrank. This boy in front of him had repeatedly provoked him. Now, his killing intent towards him had reached an extremely rich degree. If he didn't kill this boy, it would be difficult to quench the hatred in his heart.

Woosh!

Huangfu Wuji coldly snorted. With a single step, he instantly leapt onto the center of the stage. His purple robes made him look handsome and confident.

"His Highness the Second Prince has come down!

With His Highness the Second Prince's strength, it shouldn't be a problem for him to sound the Morning Bell and Evening Drum ten times. "

"It shouldn't be a problem!

However, the most difficult part of the Morning Bell and Evening Drum should be to sound it ten times and see if the music offered can resonate with the Morning Bell and Evening Drum. Only by resonating will the Morning Bell and Evening Drum be consecrated successfully. "

"Not only is His Highness the Second Prince's cultivation exquisite, but he is also proficient in the four arts, literature, martial arts, and poetry. I think he should be able to create a song that resonates with the Morning Bell and Evening Drum."

Huangfu Wuji's arrival was like a fuse, causing a frenzy of excitement. Everyone's eyes blazed as they stared at Huangfu Wuji. This was an existence that ranked in the top ten of the Blue Emperor Decree. It shouldn't be a problem for him to sound it ten times.

Standing at the edge of the stage, the beautiful Moyan Wushang held a pipa in his hand. He stared at the high-spirited Huangfu Wuji in the center of the stage, a trace of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

It had to be known that in order to successfully consecrate the Morning Bell and Evening Drum, strength alone was not enough. One also needed an unparalleled talent. Only by creating a heaven-shaking song and a formidable strength would one be able to awaken the soul within the drum and completely consecrate it.

Within the Imperial City, Huangfu Wuji had the reputation of being a master of both the pen and the sword. In truth, Moyan Wushang was also looking forward to Huangfu Wuji successfully consecrating the Morning Bell and Evening Drum.

Stopping in front of the drum, Huangfu Wuji turned around and faced the direction of the Moon Embracing Pavilion. He loudly said, "Zhuowen!

Do you dare to come down and make a bet with me? "

A terrifying sound wave burst out from Huangfu Wuji's mouth like a rolling thunder, echoing in the air above the stage.

"Who is this Zhuowen?

He actually made the Second Prince call him by name to come down and make a bet with him? "

"Isn't this name strange?

How come I've never heard of him before? He should be some nameless person. "

"Nameless person?

How could a nameless person make the Second Prince call him by name? "

After Huangfu Wuji shouted out these words, the surrounding crowd was stunned. Soon after, their gazes gathered on the Moon Embracing Pavilion. They really wanted to see just what kind of person this Zhuo Wen was.

Within the Moon Embracing Pavilion, Zhuowen narrowed his eyes. He didn't think that this Huangfu Wuji would actually call him by name to make a bet with him. It seemed that Huangfu Wuji's resentment towards him was quite deep.

"What?

Weren't you very arrogant in the Moon Embracing Pavilion a moment ago?

Why aren't you speaking now? "

Huangfu Wuji calmly stood where he was. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and his entire body moved without wind. His voice was like thunder.

"Zhuowen!

Don't agree! Huangfu Wuji is one of the top ten existences on the Azure Emperor proclamation. His strength is even greater than Guo Sheng's. If you make a bet with him, you simply have no chance of winning. "Lv Yitao suddenly frowned.

The other people in the audience also frowned. They all tried to persuade Zhuowen not to agree to this bet.

Wen Aoxue's expression was ice cold. Her white hair draped over her shoulders, and the corners of her mouth curved up in a mocking smile. She faintly said, "You reap what you sow!

You don't even have the strength to be so arrogant. If you hadn't provoked the Second Prince, then this wouldn't have happened. Unfortunately, you brought this upon yourself. "

"What does my sins have to do with you?

Just who do you think you are? You can't even sound the morning bell and evening drum ten times. What qualifications do you have to talk about me? "

Zhuowen turned his head and coldly glanced at Wen Aoxue. This woman had displayed an arrogant and condescending attitude from the very beginning. This had already caused Zhuowen to feel extremely uncomfortable in his heart. Now that she had spoken such sarcastic words, Zhuowen's disgust towards her had increased by several degrees.

"You … humph!

You're just a coward. Although I can't sound the bell ten times, I'm already extremely close. But what about you?

How many times do you think you can sound the bell?

I'm afraid that five times is already the limit!

Now that the Second Prince has challenged you, you're actually acting like a coward. You don't dare to accept his challenge, but you still dare to clamor in front of me. "

Wen Aoxue coldly snorted. She stared at Zhuo Wen with a cold gaze. The ridicule in her eyes was getting thicker and thicker. She concluded that Zhuo Wen was a coward who only knew how to talk and not do anything.

"Coward?"

Zhuowen coldly smiled. With a single step, he arrived at the window seat. His clear voice sounded out.

"Why wouldn't I dare!"

As he spoke, Zhuowen's figure was like a leopard. He leapt through the air and gracefully stepped onto the stage. But the moment he stepped onto the stage, a cold voice suddenly sounded out in his mind.

"Huangfu Wuji's strength has reached the peak of the Ultimate Seven Wheel Emperor realm. His strength is unfathomable. You should be more careful."

Hearing this, Zhuowen couldn't help but be startled. How could he not know that this voice was transmitted to him by someone? Moreover, the owner of this sound transmission was Mu Xue, who was sitting at the window seat of the Embracing Moon Pavilion.

His eyes narrowed as he stared at the quiet Mu Xue in the pavilion. Their eyes met again, and for some unknown reason, Zhuowen actually nodded his head naturally. He also transmitted his voice back, "Thank you!

I know what I'm doing. "

Looking at the youth walking towards the stage, Mu Xue's veiled face actually revealed an undetectable curve. If the veil was removed, this girl's smile would be as brilliant as a hundred flowers blooming. It would be able to turn the world upside down.

"This person is Zhuowen?

What an unfamiliar youth. This person is definitely not from the Imperial Capital. "

"I'm afraid he's a genius from one of the other counties. But, out of the eight great counties, the only ones that can make His Highness the Second Prince mention by name should be the Icebound County's Wen Aoxue and the Lifire County's Sir Lie Yun. Just where did this person come from?"

Seeing Zhuowen appear, the surrounding people all revealed looks of confusion. They had never seen this strange youth with a blue coffin on his back before.

"I thought that you wouldn't dare to accept my challenge.

But now it seems that you do have some guts. You actually accepted my challenge. "

Huangfu Wuji's eyes were cold, and a cruel smile appeared on his face. He was extremely confident in his own strength and talent. This common looking boy in front of him would lose without a doubt.

"Speak!

What kind of bet? "

Zhuowen's eyes narrowed as he stared at the sneering Huangfu Wuji.

"Very simple!

Let's see who can strike the Morning Bell and Evening Drum the most times. The loser will kneel on the ground, kowtow to the victor three times, and then cripple their own cultivation. How about it? "Huangfu Wuji's lips curved into a sneer as he spoke.

Hearing this, Zhuowen's pupils shrank. This Huangfu Wuji was truly ruthless. The loser would not only have to kowtow three times, but they would also have to cripple their own cultivation.

Without a doubt, the loser would lose all face and become a complete piece of trash.

"What?

Are you afraid?

If you are, then you only need to kowtow to me three times. You don't need to cripple your own cultivation. Then, I can let you go.

Hehe, what do you think? "Huangfu Wuji sinisterly smiled.

"Idiot!

Three kowtows? You've really lost your mind!

I, Zhuowen, accept this bet. "Zhuowen shook his head and indifferently said.

"Your courage is commendable. You've already reached this point, and yet you're still so stubborn!

But, I want to see just how long you can remain stubborn. "
