Chapter 1240 Qi Qinghua Shows Up
With only two or three days left before the much-anticipated life-and-death duel, the number of warriors gathered near the Forbidden Mountains has far exceeded the original estimate of three million!
As for how many warriors there are, there is no way to count them when they arrive at the scene!
Wherever you look, there are dense crowds of people, some standing in the mountains, some sitting on the top of trees, and some standing in the air.
In the sky around the Forbidden Mountains, you can clearly see dozens of eye-catching large ships, quietly floating in the air.
These large ships are from the major forces of Jizhou. On each ship, there are some figures with amazing breath, with their hands behind their backs, facing the Forbidden Peak.
One of the blue ships is particularly eye-catching, with countless profound spiritual patterns all over its body, and the pressure it exudes is obviously much higher than that of other ships!
If Chu Tian were here, he would recognize at a glance that this is a half-saint soldier-level Dayan Tianchuan of the Jizhou Chamber of Commerce!
At the bow, stood a thin middle-aged man with ordinary appearance, wearing gray clothes, with his hands behind his back, looking up at the towering Forbidden City Peak dozens of miles away, his eyes flickering slightly.
Although there was no pressure emanating from his body, just standing there, he was like a human-shaped Mount Tai, standing tall and majestic, making people dare not look directly at him.
The great venerable Wei Ling stood behind the thin man, his face full of respect.
"Have all the warriors around the Forbidden City Peak been cleared?"
Suddenly, the thin man turned his head and asked lightly.
When Wei Ling heard this, he bowed and replied hurriedly: "Report to the Heavenly Venerable Ye Ning, a few days ago, the Chamber of Commerce had sent many venerables to invite all the warriors gathered within a radius of thirty miles of the Forbidden City Peak out!"
"Good!"
After hearing this, the thin man nodded with satisfaction.
His name is Ye Ning, a half-saint Tianzun of Jizhou Chamber of Commerce. He appeared here at this moment, on the one hand, to use his half-saint power to maintain order on the scene, and on the other hand, to prevent some scoundrels from taking the opportunity to destroy it!
On the Dayan Tianchuan, in addition to Tianzun Ye Ning and several great masters, most of the dozens of Tianjiao in Tianjiao Mansion came to the scene and looked at the Forbidden Peak in the distance.
"Haha, it seems that I am not the only one who showed up to watch the battle!"
After a few breaths, Tianzun Ye Ning suddenly raised his mouth slightly, smiled and whispered, turned his head and looked at a certain position not far away.
Swish!
Suddenly, a crack appeared automatically at the position where Tianzun Ye Ning was looking, and a burly blood-colored figure stepped out of the crack and stood in the air.
This person is none other than the third-generation dean Xu Shuang!
After Xu Shuang appeared, he saw the half-saint Ye Ning at a glance, smiled and nodded, and then his figure flashed and stood directly next to Ye Ning.
After the two men greeted each other with fists, they chatted casually and looked at the Forbidden Peak in the distance.
The two semi-saints showed up to watch the battle at the same time, which immediately caused a sensation among the countless warriors gathered in the Forbidden Mountain Range.
Many people secretly speculated whether there would be other semi-saints who showed up to watch the battle.
"Hehe, Ye Ning, the semi-saint, is the Tianzun of the Jizhou Chamber of Commerce, responsible for maintaining order at the scene, and Xueshi, the semi-saint, is Chu Tian's protector. It is normal for the two of them to show up. Other semi-saints may not show up publicly, and even if they do, they will most likely hide themselves!"
Soon, a great venerable gave his opinion.
On the top of a small hill, Liu Qingshan and a dozen people stood together, looking into the distance with a hint of expectation.
"Tsk tsk, tomorrow is the seventh day of the seventh month, the day of the life-and-death duel. The odds offered by major chambers of commerce for betting on Chu Tian have risen to an astonishing 1:35!"
A core disciple sighed.
"Haha, if Chu Tian really wins the life-and-death duel this time, Senior Brother Liu and Senior Sister Yang will definitely make a lot of money, but that possibility is really... hehe!"
Another person laughed and spoke, but at the end, he shook his head repeatedly.
After hearing this, Liu Qingshan's face did not change. He still put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance, his eyes flickered slightly, and I don't know what he was thinking.
As for Yang Ming'er, at this moment, she closed her eyes, put her hands together, whispered repeatedly, and prayed that Chu Tian would not show up tomorrow and escape this disaster!
Time passed bit by bit under the expectation of everyone.
In a blink of an eye, night fell, a bright moon climbed up to the middle of the sky, emitting a ray of bright and clear light, gently falling between the mountains.
Although it was late at night, the air was obviously a little cold, but the atmosphere between the mountains showed an unprecedented and amazing heat!
As the life-and-death duel was approaching, even the many high-ranking venerables could not resist the temptation of interests and began to place bets, pushing Chu Tian's odds to 1:40!
In other words, if someone bets a top-grade spirit stone on Chu Tian, once Chu Tian unexpectedly wins, he will get 40 top-grade spirit stones at once!
Of course, if Chu Tian loses, the bettor will not only lose nothing, but will also owe the Chamber of Commerce a large sum of top-grade spirit stones!
Due to the obvious gap between Chu Tian and Qi Qinghua in all aspects, most of these people bet on Qi Qinghua to win.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who are looking forward to a miracle tomorrow and bet on Chu Tian quite cautiously.
The night has become deep, but for the millions of Jizhou warriors gathered at the scene, this night is destined to be an unforgettable sleepless night for them!
Almost everyone was excited and looking forward to the sky getting brighter as soon as possible. The two protagonists, Chu Tian and Qi Qinghua, quickly appeared and presented everyone with an unprecedented brilliant battle!
During the long and anxious wait, the morning star began to appear, and the sky finally showed a hint of white. Not long after, a hot sun rose slowly.
In a short time, the darkness faded, the light came, and all things revived.
"It's dawn!"
Someone looked at the rising sun in the sky and exclaimed in a low voice, with an unconcealable excitement on his face.
Crack!
However, at this moment, a piercing thunder suddenly sounded in the distance, and everyone hurriedly looked up and looked at the sky!
In the clear sky as clear as a sapphire, a dazzling black lightning shot from a distance, and after just a few flashes, it appeared near the Forbidden Peak.
Bang!
Then, black lightning suddenly exploded, flying all over the sky, and a young man in black clothes and white hair appeared out of thin air!
He stood tall, with his hands behind his back, standing on the top of the Forbidden City Peak, letting the strong wind whistle and blow his hair and clothes.
Although his face was ordinary, he revealed a sharpness and coldness that was hard to look at!
Qi Qinghua, the super demon ranked third on the Jizhou Hidden Dragon List, was the first to show up!
