Xu Qing nodded, indicating understanding.
"Would you like to bet on odd or even?" Lai Yong asked.
"Then I’ll bet on odd." Lai Yong grinned.
Xu Qing responded with a smile.
At this moment on the street, a crowd gathered around the hearse, which everyone usually avoided.
The two took turns rolling the dice.
The first time, Xu Qing rolled even, Lai Yong odd.
The second throw, still one even and one odd.
The third was the same.
At this point, Lai Yong finally understood that the opponent was also an old hand at gambling!
No wonder he was so confident.
Xu Qing didn’t cheat; his dice rolls relied solely on skill, without using a shred of magical power.
After Lai Yong rolled odd three times in a row, he became a little anxious. When it was his turn to roll again, Lai Yong grasped the dice, breathing on them and rubbing his hands.
Xu Qing quietly watched Lai Yong’s performance throughout, without a word.
Upon seeing his opponent quickly swap out a new die from his sleeve during the hand-rubbing, Xu Qing finally smiled.
Cheating under the Heaven and Earth Red Character Post, if you don’t lose, who will?
Sure enough, when Lai Yong tossed his die, the dice, which was supposed to show odd one point, suddenly flipped to even four points.
The outcome was already determined by heaven.
This time Xu Qing barely opened his eyes, using no skill whatsoever, tossed Lai Yong’s new die.
Also even number four points!
Lai Yong’s eyes widened, even the eye with the black mole didn’t blink.
When he heard Xu Qing say he lost, Lai Yong sneered, completely unconcerned, saying, "Lost, so be it. Lu Chunsheng’s death has nothing to do with me; his family still owes me ten taels of silver they must repay. A debt must be paid, even the heavens can’t change that..."
However, before Lai Yong could finish, the Heaven and Earth Red Character Post in front of him suddenly began to burn.
When the smoke cleared, the ashes formed a line of characters. These words were not of current script, but everyone could understand, even the illiterate.
A sharp-eyed child sitting on an adult’s shoulders instinctively read aloud, "Breach of Gambling Death Technique incurs heavenly punishment, Heaven and Earth Red Character Post slashes as akin to divine decree!"
These words came without reason, only Xuan Yu looked at Xu Qing, who was standing with arms folded, clearly guessing the origin of these words.
When Lai Yong saw the words, he was greatly frightened, but before he could speak, a Yin Fire spurted from his mouth and eyes! ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel※fire.net
The fire was black and red, but the villagers felt no heat; instead, they sensed a bone-chilling cold.
The fire burned from inside out, consuming not just the body but also the fate and destiny. When everyone came back to their senses, there was nothing left by the hearse but a pile of black ashes, with no trace of Lai Yong!
Seeing this scene, Xu Qing couldn’t help sighing, "When man fears evil but heaven doesn’t, when man harms kindness but heaven doesn’t. Looks like the heavens are still on my side, but it’s a pity for Lu Laozhang’s family’s years of accumulated silver coins. For gamblers , it seems he has already thrown all the silver coins into the gambling den; retrieving them won’t be easy."
The crowd was stunned, only Xu Qing continued to ponder the triggering principle of the Gambling Death Technique.
Prior to this, he had speculated about the power of the Gambling Death Technique; it could cause people to die instantly or resemble other curses, causing one to bleed from seven orifices, dying painfully. He didn’t expect the self-igniting Yin Fire.
This is less a heavenly punishment, but more of a self-destruction.
Except, before self-destruction, the mechanism of the Gambling Death Technique must be triggered.
Xu Qing savored the sensation brought by the self-igniting Yin Fire from the Gambling Death Technique, which seemed no different from the Yin-Burning Fire he refined.
Sure enough, this thing will have no effect on him as a Zombie, at most only making his Yin-Burning Fire excited for a moment, that’s all.
