Chapter 19: I’m Afraid That Won’t Work!

Earlier she already thought that the stone was full of energy, but did not expect it to contain treasure. It turned out to be a Moxuan Grass filled with pure energy. Seeing that the grass had withered, it must have been in this stone for a long time.
But the Moxuan Grass was extraordinary. Even if withered, its effectiveness would not be reduced at all.
This Moxuan Grass was a treasure. As its name implied, its function was to enable peak purple aura cultivators to advance to the black aura rank after taking it.
This temptation was huge in all four countries. Although black aura and purple aura differed by only one rank, they were as far apart as Heaven and Earth. It was extremely difficult to advance to black aura from purple aura. Many cultivators may stop at the peak of purple aura, unable to enter the black aura rank for a lifetime.
Removing the Moxuan Grass from the stone, and under the eyes of the puzzled and contemptuous audience, Zihou placed it in a medicine bottle that she carried with her.
If these people learned that they thought the Moxuan Grass was weed, would they have the thought to kill themselves?
“The Gambling Saint is really powerful, even cutting a piece of Qingtian White Jade. I lost this round,” Zihou said while smiling at the Moxuan Grass.
At Zihou’s words, Triangular-eyes could not hold the smile on his face. He just cut out a piece of Qingtian White Jade, what congratulations? And looking at Zihou’s smile, somehow, he had a feeling of being pitied.
At this time, a burst of purple light suddenly shot out from Triangular-eyes’ third stone. A faint light, not strong, but unusually dazzling.
“This light… could it…” When Triangular-eyes saw the purple light, his expression moved, and a thought appeared in his mind.
He couldn’t wait and walked to the edge of the stone, pulled it away from the stone-cutters, and picked up the tool to carefully chisel away the outer shell himself.
Purple light shone, similar to sandstone particles.
“It’s really Purple Iron Sand!” After seeing the treasure in the stone clearly, Triangular-eyes widened his eyes and looked excited.
“What, it’s Purple Iron Sand?” Among the onlookers, it seemed that some also knew about Purple Iron Sand. After hearing this, they couldn’t help but look surprised.
Purple Iron Sand was the darling of magical weapons and the pride of many treasure mines. Any ordinary weapon, if added with Purple Iron Sand, would be upgraded to an invincible magical weapon at once.
It was said that in the West Imperial Capital, the Demon Sword treasure of the town palace was made from a piece of Purple Iron Sand.
“Haha, stand up! Now that I’ve cut out the Purple Iron Sand, the outcome is fixed. Hurry up and hand over 100,000 gold!” Triangular-eyes looked up and smiled, obviously thinking that he had won.
“Isn’t it too early to be happy?” Zihou smiled coldly at his attitude. Under his puzzled gaze, Zihou broke apart the third stone that had been mostly cut.
Suddenly, the temperature of the entire space seemed to have dropped, and a sensation of coldness spread across everyone’s limbs.
But after seeing the stone in Zihou’s hands, after breaking apart its unremarkable skin, it turned out to be an extremely cold metal with a diamond-like gleam.
It was ghastly chilling, and its color was so black as if from hell, making a human’s soul feel cold and freeze at this moment.
“What’s this? Why does it feel so terrifying?”
“With one glance, it seems like my soul has been sucked in…”
“What a scary thing, I feel my blood clotting…”
“…”
Everyone was shocked and their eyes appeared puzzled. Even if they did not know what this thing was, the fear from their souls made them understand that this thing was absolutely extraordinary. At least better than Purple Iron Sand!
“This is, this is…” Looking at the black metal in Zihou’s hand, Triangular-eyes turned white instantly. He stretched out his fingers and spoke with difficulty, “Dark, dark cloud… black, black iron…”
Dark Cloud Black Iron?!
As soon as this phrase came out, the crowd was shocked.
Dark Cloud Black Iron existed? If Purple Iron Sand was the wealthy clan among metals and gems, then Dark Cloud Black Iron was the supreme king. With such a gap, it was already obvious which one was stronger and which one was weaker.
It was said that a weapon created with the Dark Cloud Black Iron was truly invincible. It could strike a black aura cultivator in one blow, and even the legendary existence of this metal terrified them!
This was truly a magnificent treasure!
“Well, Gold Ore Crystals and Silver Ore Crystals, Dark Cloud Black Iron and Purple Iron Sand. I won!” Zihou’s quiet voice, although calm and gentle like a sound of nature, was a life-threatening spell to Triangular-eyes.
Zihou’s voice also attracted everyone. They were stunned for a while. They found it hard to believe that this unknown fabulous girl beat the Gambling Saint with such outstanding treasures.
Everything felt like this was a dream.
But even if they were dreaming, they would be satisfied. After all, it was a great honor to be lucky enough to see the Dark Cloud Black Iron.
“Haha, I won!” Qi Shaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, and the scene of his father chasing and killing him with a knife gradually blurred. Huh, it was not easy to keep his life!
“Haha…” Triangular-eyes narrowed his eyes, and the greed and murderous intent in them burned like flames. He stared fiercely at the Dark Cloud Black Iron in Zihou’s hands and sneered. “You won? Haha, tell you what, if you don’t hand over the Dark Cloud Black Iron today, no one can leave!”
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and immediately, more than ten thugs with swords and knives entered from the inner room.
“Oh? Do you mean that you will not only break your promise, but you even want to grab my Dark Cloud Black Iron?” The corner of Zihou’s lip turned higher, and her smile was creepy, sending chills up one’s spine. If Mo Jun was present at this moment, she would surely understand that this was someone’s unlucky day.
“How bold, are you deceiving the Crown Prince Estate?” Qi Shaoyang’s face suddenly turned angry. The frivolous look on his face faded and became full of dignity.
“Your Royal Highness, leave quickly. What happened today has nothing to do with Your Royal Highness.” Triangular-eyes seemed to be a little worried about Qi Shaoyang. He slightly retracted his menacing face, but his tone had hints of threats remaining.
“I want to see today, with me here, who dares to touch my boss!” Qi Shaoyang’s eyebrows frowned slightly and he pushed Zihou behind, protecting her. His aura suddenly became stronger.
He was usually a loafer and an arrogant little guy. However, if anyone really provoked him, he would not just stand by!
“Boss, don’t worry. I was the one who got you involved today.” Qi Shaoyang turned his head with an apologetic expression. “You go first, don’t worry about me. They won’t dare to do anything to me.”
As her eyes fell on the blue back in front of her and his slightly tender side profile, Zihou raised her eyebrows, and a bright flash of light flashed through her eyes.
Although he was still a child who had not grown up, it was hard to hate him!
1“Oh, you want to go? No way!” Triangular-eyes naturally heard Qi Shaoyang’s words and sneered in disdain. “I’ll say it one last time. Hand it over and I can give you a quick and easy death!”
“I’m afraid that won’t work!” Under Qi Shaoyang’s puzzled gaze, Zihou stepped forward. The confused eyes of the crowd were on her, and suddenly, at the speed of light…
“Ah!” A sharp cry echoed throughout the casino.
Everyone saw a figure of light hitting the wall around the casino, and then it rolled down the wall.
Everything happened so suddenly that no one could clearly see how Zihou did it. It was just a blink of an eye before the arrogant Triangular-eyes was lying on the ground in embarrassment.
“What are you waiting for! Hurry! Kill her!” Triangular-eyes struggled to get up, but he found tragically that he could not exert any strength over his body. He could barely lift his sword up and shout at the roughly dozen thugs.
They then responded and charged at Zihou with weapons in their hands.
At this moment, green and blue lights illuminated the entire casino. These dozen thugs turned out to be green and blue aura cultivators.
Facing the siege of more than a dozen cultivators, there was no change in Zihou’s expression. Her falcon-like eyes swept sharply over them, the evil in them growing stronger.
She had just advanced, and someone came to her door to practice with her. How could she refuse?
The aura on her body suddenly condensed, and suddenly, a deep blue light bloomed from Zihou’s back. The powerful aura exerted pressure in the air of the casino, caging the entire area.
High-level blue aura!
