Chapter 1017 Battle and Gambling

For many things, the first time is new but the second time is familiar.

In the dimension of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", when Su Mingzhe was the emperor, he had already had many dealings with people in the martial arts world.

You know, most of these warriors have strong limbs but simple minds.

What I love most in my life is face.

As long as you have face, many things can be negotiated.

And Su Mingzhe is also the most generous in giving people face.

After all, to give someone face, all you need to do is say a few nice words.

Su Mingzhe often does such cost-free things.

The same is true today.

Whether facing familiar or unfamiliar people, he would approach them with a smile and chat with them, leaving people with a friendly and approachable image.

He doesn’t have the majesty and domineering aura of the Duke of Zhenguo at all.

After this incident, everyone in the martial arts world felt that this Duke Zhenguo seemed to be quite good, and there seemed to be nothing wrong in letting him continue to be the 'Regent Duke Zhenguo'.

Of course, some people feel very uncomfortable.

For example, Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect, always felt that the Lord Zhenhai in front of him was the same type of person as himself.

This made him feel very uncomfortable when talking to Su Mingzhe, fearing that "like repels like" and Su Mingzhe would notice some clues.

Fortunately, Yue Buqun had not done anything cruel at this time, and he was able to respond to Su Mingzhe's gentle words with a peaceful expression.

Su Mingzhe smiled at Yue Buqun for a long time, but his eyes looked at Yue Lingshan without any pride.

This girl put on some light makeup before going out today, which was a rare occasion. Her already beautiful face was already more beautiful than the other women in her family.

Of course, it would be perfect if she didn't speak.

Once she opens her mouth, her tomboyish personality cannot be concealed at all.

"In the two films of "Swordsman", the only image that was ruined was Yue Lingshan!"

Su Mingzhe greeted everyone without any hurry.

It was already noon time.

The sun is shining brightly during the Dragon Boat Festival, making it hard to open your eyes.

Su Mingzhe and Dongfang Bubai moved to the center of Gaoping and were about to exchange a few more polite words and talk about Dongfang Bubai's beautiful concubines.

Suddenly, someone in the stands shouted:

"Duke Zhenguo, I haven't seen Dongfang Sect Leader for several years. I've been upset about the last defeat and have been thinking about avenging that defeat. Now that I've perfected my Ice Palm, Duke Zhenguo, please let me compete with Dongfang Sect Leader first. What do you think?"

"Master Zuo, don't be anxious. My competition with Master Dongfang will be quick."

Su Mingzhe bowed towards Zuo Lengchan as a way of expressing his gratitude.

Zuo Lengchan had already joined the eunuch party Gu Jinfu several years ago.

And Gu Jinfu is Su Mingzhe's subordinate.

Therefore, Zuo Lengchan's attempt to steal Su Mingzhe's limelight now is purely out of his 'eagerness to protect his master'.

Su Mingzhe could understand Zuo Lengchan's thoughts, so he waved his hand, signaling him not to make trouble.

Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly saw a beautiful figure in the crowd:

"Aunt Thirteen? No, it's Ren Yingying!"

Su Mingzhe couldn't understand why Ren Yingying didn't take advantage of Dongfang Bubai's absence to find her biological father, but instead brought Lan Fenghuang all the way to Jinling City.

Dongfang Bubai had been paying attention to Su Mingzhe's actions. When he saw his surprise, he glanced over at him out of the corner of his eye.

When he saw Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang, he couldn't help but smile:
"The Duke of Zhenguo is still the same as always, he likes to be kind and gentle to women."

That year, he rushed to the Su Mansion under the cover of night, intending to assassinate Su Mingzhe, but Su Mingzhe sent his daughter back to the backyard and faced him alone.

Now, Su Mingzhe was about to fight with him, but he still had the mood to look at women. Dongfang Bubai didn't know how to evaluate Su Mingzhe.

"Yes, this is the only hobby I have. I wonder if Master Dongfang is willing to give it up?"

Seeing Dongfang Bubai taking the initiative to talk about women, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but laugh and threw out his own purpose:

"I heard that Dongfang Jiaozhu likes to collect beauties from all over the world. I have similar interests. Why don't we add a prize to today's competition? If Dongfang Jiaozhu wins, I will ask the court to issue an edict to confer Dongfang Jiaozhu the title of Zhenhai King, ruling over the four provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Jiangxi in the southeast. If I win, I will ask Dongfang Jiaozhu to give up his collection of beauties from all over the world to me. How do you think?"

"Okay!"

Dongfang Bubai is not a man at all. The purpose of him collecting beauties is just to hide the fact that he is not a man.

Now, Su Mingzhe offered the "King of Four Provinces" as a prize, and Dongfang Bubai immediately accepted it.

Besides, even if we lose, it doesn’t matter.

After all, they are just seven women. What does it have to do with me?

The seven beautiful concubines who had followed Dongfang Bubai to Jinling City to see the world were horrified when they heard that Dongfang Bubai was going to use them as a bet. They shouted:

"Master, don't!"

"Shut up!"

Dongfang Bubai did not expect that the seven women, who were always gentle and well-behaved, would dare to disobey his orders in public at this time, and he immediately became furious.

If these women were not already stakes, it would be difficult for him to deal with them.

Otherwise, he would certainly teach these women a lesson and let them know what it means to have the power of life and death in my hands.

Several women were so frightened by the roar from 'their men' that they dared not look up or speak anymore.

Su Mingzhe did not expect that Dongfang Bubai was so majestic and domineering, not like a eunuch at all, and he was filled with admiration.

This is good. I don't have to worry about a few women following me and then becoming like Yang Shishi in the movie and becoming determined to die.

Let’s chat for now.

The bet was made.

Then fight!

Su Mingzhe originally wanted to defeat Dongfang Bubai with just one or two moves, establish his mighty and domineering side, and prevent people in the martial arts world from looking down on him.

However, because there were seven beauties as part of the bet, Su Mingzhe felt it was awkward to act so decisively.

With this in mind, Su Mingzhe and Dongfang Bubai fought back and forth.

Dongfang Bubai first launched a tentative attack, and found that Su Mingzhe was indeed as strong as himself, so he immediately became serious.

Looking at the crowd on the stage, they saw that the red-robed Dongfang Bubai was getting faster and faster.

In the end, Gaoping was covered in red, which was extremely horrifying.

Su Mingzhe's speed was equally astonishing, but he looked calm and relaxed. Even though he was surrounded by red, he still dodged Dongfang Bubai's sharp attacks as if he was strolling in the garden.

"Something's wrong!"

Dongfang Bubai didn't expect that even after exerting 80% to 90% of his strength, he still couldn't pose a threat to Su Mingzhe. He could only raise his sword eyebrows and his eyes flashed with coldness:
"Lord Zhenhai, from now on, I will use all my strength. I will not be able to hold back. Please forgive me if there are any mistakes!"

The former top ten martial arts masters were also stunned.

When they were challenged by Dongfang Bubai, Dongfang Bubai did not display such ghostly speed.

Yue Buqun, who had just been resentful of Su Mingzhe, was now in a cold sweat:
"Fortunately, I didn't show any hostility towards this Duke Zhenhai just now, otherwise, my life and property would be gone!"

Zuo Lengchan, who was sitting next to Yue Buqun, also secretly wiped away his sweat:
"I've always heard from Eunuch Gu that the Duke of Zhenhai is unpredictable, and I thought he was talking about his temperament. Now I know that he was talking about martial arts..."

Master Fangzheng of Shaolin and Taoist Master Chongxu of Wudang were both chanting "Amitabha" and "Wulian Tianzun" non-stop at this moment.

No one knows who will win or lose on Gaoping.

　In the first two chapters, the title of Duke Zhenguo was written as Duke Zhenhai. Sorry!
