Lan Qi wanted to use this opportunity to conquer Jin Shangyue in one fell swoop, leaving her with no ability to resist.
But when Jin Shangyue grabbed his fist with its metal spikes, her slender, fair fingers gently squeezed it.
With a cracking sound, the sound of bones breaking rang out, followed by excruciating pain as if bones were being torn apart.
At this moment, Lan Qi felt a surge of helplessness and panic.
The feeling of being at someone's mercy and unable to resist filled him with a sense of horror and fear.
Immediately afterwards, he was kicked away by Jin Shangyue.
Like Lu Yang, he fell to the ground, spat out blood, and fainted.
"Quick! Doctor!"
The Lan family members quickly went to check on Lan Qi and found that he had only suffered internal injuries, which were not too serious, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Jin Shangyue did not take the opportunity to kill him.
Jinshangyue is playing this game for profit, not for human lives.
Naturally, one wouldn't kill someone in public, putting oneself in a passive and dangerous position.
With the buffer from the previous round, Grandpa Li and the others quickly made their judgments without needing Jin Shangyue's further reminders.
"Jinshangyue wins this round."
"Ten private prefectures, twenty thousand private guards, thank you for the bet from the Lan family," Jin Shangyue said with a smile to Old Master Lan.
Having witnessed the precedent of the Lu family patriarch experiencing chest pain from being stabbed, Old Master Lan coldly snorted, offering no lecture or sarcasm.
He didn't want to lose face as an elder and be embarrassed in public by the younger generation.
The final showdown was between Qi Jia and Qi Zhengzheng.
Qi Jia was originally a civil official, so under normal circumstances, if he wanted to compete with Jin Shangyue, he would choose to compete in the literary field.
But the other factions all wanted to take advantage of her vulnerability, thinking that Jin Shangyue was weak in martial arts and trying to use this as a breakthrough to gain benefits.
So the Qi family followed suit, taking this path as a breakthrough, and proposed a martial arts contest to Jin Shangyue.
Now they're in a bind, trapped and unable to get out.
Although Qi Zhengzheng was also a martial arts practitioner, compared to Lan Qi and Lu Yang, he was practically a half-baked one.
Lan Qi and the others were among the most powerful and talented of their generation, and they all suffered crushing defeats. How much more so for someone like him, who was even weaker than Lan Qi and the others.
When Qi Zhengzheng saw Jin Shangyue looking over, he subconsciously trembled. He forcibly suppressed the tension and panic in his heart and stepped onto the dueling platform.
"Um, I'm not as tough as Lan Qi and the others, so please go easy on them later."
The Qi family: ...
Showing weakness before it even begins is utterly shameful!
Many onlookers were amused.
"Young Master Qi, look how scared you are. Why don't you just admit defeat?"
"Yeah, look at how your legs are shaking, are you not going to be able to do it?"
"Just admit defeat, admit defeat, and we can take the last bit of our bet."
"You'll be kicked off the stage and cough up blood in a minute. That would be terrible. To avoid suffering yourself, admitting defeat is the best policy."
Wang Congcong and the other three were cheering and stirring things up below, all beaming with joy, showing no signs of mental distress.
They've made a killing, so excited they can ignore the nerve pain.
Qi Zhengzheng was getting increasingly intimidated and really wanted to admit defeat.
But seeing the murderous look on his father's face, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.
With his eyes closed, he assumed the posture of a hero heading to the executioner's block, channeling his inner energy into his palm and striking Jin Shangyue with a palm strike.
Then I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, and I was thrown into the air.
Seeing Jin Shangyue kick Qi Zhengzheng off the stage in a single glance, the Qi family felt humiliated and wished they could disappear into the shadows.
Jin Shangyue looked at the old man of the Qi family with a big smile: "Thank you for the Grade A energy mine from the Qi family."
With that, all the battles came to an end.
Five rounds of competition, and the winner is Jin Shangyue.
Jin Shangyue won five games in a row, while 90% of the guests present lost five games in a row.
Many people place bets hoping to make a quick buck, so the amount wagered in each game is not low.
The person who placed the lowest bet still wagered five million in every game.
The highest bets were three to five hundred million yuan in each game.
As a result, they've lost everything!
Just as everyone was dejected, looking like they wanted to cry but had no tears and were full of regret, bursts of joyful laughter attracted everyone's attention.
Wang Congcong: "Hahahaha! I won! I won five games in a row! At 1 to 10 odds, I made a total of 5 billion! 5 billion! Hahaha! I'm rich! I'm rich!"
Jiang Gougou: "Thanks to the Moon Goddess for the assist! I also made a fortune! I bet 200 million in each round! With odds of 10 to 1, that's 2 billion. After five rounds, I made 10 billion! Hahahaha..."
Lan Panpan: "It's ruined! Waaah~~~~(＞_＜)~~~~ Why didn't I put all my saved pocket money into it? I only bet 50 million in one game and only made 500 million. After five games, I only made 2.5 billion. I lost so much, I lost so much..."
Minghua: "Sigh... I've only earned 15 billion. I should have borrowed some money from my old man and invested more."
The losers who lost five games in a row: ...
Are you four brats even human?
What do you mean by "only made 2.5 billion, and lost money"? What do you mean by "only made 15 billion"?
Does it have to be this Versailles-like?!
They lost tens of millions, even billions!
The contrast is stark.
The elders of the Wang, Ming, Jiang, and Lan families saw their own child, Versailles, drawing all the attention, and the surrounding guests looked like they wanted to devour them.
They hurriedly stepped forward, took their children away, and interrupted their Versailles-like joy and excitement.
