Chapter 0008: Demonstrate Weakness to the Enemy.

Zhang the Butcher pulled out a sharp knife from his lower back and pointed the tip of the knife at Ye Tong while roaring angrily.

Most of the onlookers shook their heads with jealousy and regret, silently cursing Ye Tong in their hearts.

This young man actually refused the generous offer from Kuang Zhan Tian?

How familiar these words are!

Tong Kaishan coughed lightly and smiled at Ye Tong, saying, "Miss Ye, you have offended someone. If you dare not accept their challenge, you should kneel down and apologize like you humiliated them. I think you should accept the challenge. A man may die but not be insulted! Besides, he has promised me to spare your life. You can consider it as gaining practical experience!"

Where there is a father, there must be a son.

Tong Kaishan looked at the somewhat ferocious expression of Zhang the Butcher, and he understood in his heart that Zhang the Butcher had lost face and money today, and his heart must be full of resentment and hatred. He hadn't helped him before because Ye Tong could bring him benefits. But now, if he stood by and did nothing, Zhang the Butcher might hold a grudge against him, and wouldn't show him filial respect in the future.

Tong Kaishan said: "In the arena competition, life and death are determined by fate. However, Young Master Ye still owes me something, so you cannot kill him. You must spare his life."

Three hundred taels of blue silver?

Can't control so much!

Yè Tóng hesitated again for a moment, as if gathering courage, and then gritted his teeth and said, "I accept your challenge. But we must keep our word and not take lives."

This young man is definitely a talented businessperson!

Ye Tong turned his head, with a hint of doting, gently rubbed Yin Xiaojiu's hair, and then turned back and said, "Blinding Black Poison, 100 taels of Blue Silver Grass per bead; Detoxifying Pill, 200 taels of Blue Silver Grass per bead. Pay with Blue Silver Grass to save your wife and nephew."

Ye Tong gestured for Yin Xiaojiu to take the silver ticket, sighed, took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out three antidote pills, and handed them to Zhang Butcher, saying, "It's better to resolve grievances than to hold grudges. Look how good it is now. We are all happy and harmonious, without seeing blood, and without losing lives."

He ... ....

... ...

A phrase meaning "to speak bluntly and straightforwardly".

In the depths of Ye Tong's eyes, there was a chill, and in his heart, he made a note of the childhood memories.

At this moment, Ye Tong smiled and looked at the other person, saying, "I haven't even agreed to you yet, and you're already in a hurry to add some finishing touches?"

Upon hearing the words, Kuang Zhan Tian was taken aback. He also noticed that Ye Tong seemed a bit unwell, so he gave her a sympathetic look and refrained from inviting her further.

The adventurers in the crowd, and even many ordinary people, all showed expressions of shock. The War Tiger Adventurer Team, their reputation is well-known, they are active all year round in the Jinluan Mountains, with the goal of hunting fierce beasts, and their strength is quite formidable. And Crazy War Tian is the second-in-command of the War Tiger Adventurer Team, with a bold personality and astonishing strength.

Upon hearing this, Zhang the butcher felt a bit embarrassed. He also understood that what the other person said was not wrong. His own son was not much younger than the other person, and yet he challenged him. Even if he won, he would not gain any good reputation.

I agree, but the competition lacks excitement and is too boring. Mr. Ye, I will bet 700 taels of silver. Do you dare to bet the same as me?

Ye Tong watched as Yin Xiaojiu picked up the silver ticket and scanned the face value number on it. She shook her head and said, "Three people are poisoned, and we need three antidote pills. Do you only want to save your wife and watch your two nephews die in front of you? They both helped your wife!"

Butcher Zhang's face lit up with excitement, and he asked eagerly, "What are your conditions?"

Saying.

Also ... ....

This ... ...

A few powerful individuals who have broken through to the innate realm revealed strange expressions one after another. They are very sensitive to the aura of cultivators. Previously, they keenly sensed the aura emanating from Ye Tong's body, which is definitely not something that a cultivator at the first level of Qi refining can possess.

Exactly! What's the point of a fight without any rewards?

Today's performance is really wonderful! Betting with him, even if you lose, you won't suffer. If you win, it will be 1,400 taels of blue silver.

This old man spits on a nail, he will definitely not kill you.

Amazing!

Devious!

He deliberately showed a timid look and said, "Are you sure you want to challenge me? Although I am weak and sickly, and don't have much strength, I am also a master at the first level of Qi refining and a true cultivator."

Several people secretly sighed in their hearts.

Old sayings are indeed reasonable!

Yè Tóng followed the sound and looked at Kuáng Zhàn Tiān's burly figure, quietly observing him for a moment before smiling and saying, "I am grateful for your kindness, but I have been weak and sickly since childhood, and my life is always in danger. If I were to join the Tiger Warrior Adventurer Team, I'm afraid I would become a burden to you all. Therefore, I apologize."

Around the arena, the surrounding crowd waved their arms and fists, shouting loudly, typical of those who enjoy spectacles without fearing any consequences.

Yin Xiaojiu hid behind Ye Tong, tugging at the hem of her clothes with her small hand. She was inherently kind, and even when she acted ruthlessly, it was for self-preservation, never with the intention of taking lives.

In the crowd.

Those who understand the current situation are wise.

This young man!

War Tiger Adventurer Team

The butcher Zhang glanced at Ye Tong's chest. The silver ticket he took out is now inside that clothing. Since revenge is necessary, this damn bastard must spit out what he has eaten.

Ye Tong is not clear about Zhang the Butcher's strength, but compared to someone who is a butcher, he is not much more powerful. Although he himself is only at the third level of Qi refining, with his past combat power and experience, even if the opponent is at the fourth level of Qi refining, he can still fight against them.

Today has been embarrassing enough. Even if I can't get any good reputation, as long as I can humiliate and retaliate against the other party, and by the way, get back my Blue Silver, it will be worth it.

He looked at Tong Kaishan under the platform and said loudly, "Master Tong, please be our witness and preside over our competition."

Brother Yezi, please spare them.

He glanced at the silent Kuanzhan Tian in the crowd, then leaped onto the platform and said loudly, "Challenges should be conducted openly and fairly, without resorting to underhanded tactics. I, Tong Kaishan, representing the Tong family, agree to preside over this contest. However, I have one condition."

Zhang the butcher couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh upon hearing the words, and said, "I'm certain."

The crowd around the arena, even more so, rolled their eyes in unison, looking at Ye Tong with disdain.

Zhang the butcher looked at Tong Kaishan, with a look of asking for your decision.

This guy is pretending to be weak in order to deceive the enemy.

You ... ...

Zhang the Butcher almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard this.

Zhang the Butcher shouted angrily, "We are cultivators, using our fists to compete on the arena. Poisoning and scheming are despicable acts of petty individuals."

Yin Xiaojiu's admiration for Ye Tong has reached its peak.

You deserve to die.

Ye Tong saw Zhang Butcher holding three antidote pills and walking towards his family. He immediately smiled at Yin Xiaojiu and said, "The matter is resolved, let's go back! After all, we have gained some spirit silver. Let's go to the butcher shop to buy some meat, which can be considered as indirectly returning the spirit silver to them!"

Uh-huh!

Abandoned ?

Those seven hundred taels of silver are just easy gains, no need to feel heartache even if lost, let's gamble!

Amazing!

I'll do it.

Place a bet with him!

The scene was surrounded by onlookers, and immediately became noisy. They originally thought that today they would only witness a competition between young boys and girls, but they didn't expect the plot to evolve to such an extent.

The butcher Zhang hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind in his heart. If he didn't kill, he wouldn't kill. But this damn bastard had made himself a laughingstock, tricking him out of so much blue silver. He must cripple and disable him, subjecting him to endless torment.

Then.

Mad War Sky ?

Especially the part where the price of the land rises dramatically, it is like the finishing touch that makes the whole thing perfect, a stroke of genius.

张屠夫面色一变, 厉声说道: "你想清楚, 要是拒绝我的挑战, 你将会颜面尽失, 将来在这寒山城, 都没有一席之地。"

In the crowd, a rough and deep voice came: "Brother Xiao Ye, right? After the things here are over, are you interested in joining my War Tiger Adventurer Team? I, War God Tian, admire you very much."

How did this young man catch the eye of Kuang Zhan Tian?

Ahem...

Ye Tong stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and stared strangely at Zhang the Butcher. He asked, "Just a moment ago, I praised you for being knowledgeable, but I didn't expect you to turn around and do something foolish. Aren't you afraid that I will sprinkle some poison and send you straight to hell?"

Zhang the butcher's fan-like big hand, slapped his own chest with a loud sound, but the murderous intent in his eyes was even stronger than before.

In an instant.

Wow!

His brain was kicked by a pig.

Therefore.

First level of Qi refining?

Zhang the butcher gritted his teeth and pulled out a stack of silver bills. With great reluctance, he took out three of them and threw them to Ye Tong, angrily saying, "Now, you should give me the antidote, right?"

Ye Tong asked straightforwardly, "Zhang the Butcher, you are truly shameless. You are already so old, yet you dare to challenge a weak and sickly young boy like me. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

The crowd became quiet, and the hundreds of onlookers looked at Butcher Zhang with particularly strange expressions.

He is at the third level of Qi Refining, and in addition to wielding a cleaver to chop meat in recent years, his physical fitness is excellent. Faced with this underage first level Qi Refining weakling, he is fully confident in making the opponent wish they were dead.

With a tremble of his body, Zhang the butcher almost dropped the detox pill that was about to be delivered to the lady's mouth. His hatred towards Ye Tong escalated to a higher level, so he quickened his movements. After feeding her the detox pill, he shouted loudly at Ye Tong, who was about to leave the arena, "Come back and accept my challenge!"

Ye Tong narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Being insulted by you repeatedly, I suddenly realized that I was being foolishly angered. It turns out that the price of the antidote pill is four hundred liang of blue silver per pill. If you want to kill me, go ahead! With your wife accompanying me to the Yellow Springs Purgatory, I won't be lonely."

Zhang the Butcher was burning with anger, wishing to skin and bone the bastard boy in front of him, to strip him of his flesh and cut him to the bone. Although he was a businessman, he often bullied others and made a lot of money. However, 300 taels of silver was still nearly a year's income for him!

This butcher's son, before competing with that little girl, seemed to be patting his chest and saying, "I promise with a mouthful of saliva and a nail," but in the end, he was beaten like a dead dog.

However !

It's really shameless to take advantage and act cute. How shameless!

Zhang the Butcher's anger, which was burning inside him, was completely extinguished by the invitation from Mad War Tian. He knew very well that Ye Tong was raising the price unreasonably, digging a pit for himself, but he had no way to resist. With a heart full of reluctance, his hands trembling slightly, he took out a few silver bills again and handed them to Ye Tong, saying, "Give me the antidote."
