Cultivation—Stand above the Heaven Chapter 165

Duan Lengyan cast an anxious look at the stonemason team. Each of them was in a pensive mood. "What's going on?" She inquired.

However, their discussions on the eerie failure drowned out her voice.

They had literally spent their whole life on the raw stones of the blood steel. They had seen thousands of stones of this kind. However, none of them had ever been there before. They found it hard to come to terms with no output from sixty-six cubes of the raw stones — that was an out-and-out abnormal condition.

Tian went up, eyes running down the broken stones and the restless onlookers in a flustered manner.  "Miss. Three, should we move on or not?"

With such a shamefully low output rate, the Tianbao Mansion already went utterly discredited. If it went on like this, the purchasers would burn it down to the ground.

Wandong beat Duan Lengyan to it with a swift response, sneering dismissively. "You oughta move on, of course! Otherwise, how will I be able to smash out your teeth and your f**king revolting tongue?"

Duan Lengyan made up her mind — she was gonna fight till the end.

"Anything is gonna happen before the end finally comes. Xu Yaoting, hold your horses. Bet you gonna die once the last thirty-four raw stones are opened."

"Ready! Go!"

Hardly had Duan Lengyan's voice faded away when rounds of cheers went off in the crowd. She couldn't back out now, as the horse had already bolted in full view.

Another thirty-three raw stones broke into two with her instruction. The result remained the same — the greyish cross-sections stayed as striking as the previous ones. It was pretty funny that they literally resembled Duan Lengyan's countenance.

Right when the raw stones cracked open, she trembled all of a sudden as if she had suffered a lightning strike. She retreated for a couple of steps in spite of herself. She looked dreadfully astonished and baffled.

It was the same case with Wu Qiujun. He turned deathly pale, resembling the symptom of poisoning.

Tian went slack-jawed, unable to come to terms with the merciless fact.

Zong Qi and Wu Yang hugged each other, scampered around, and raised their thumbs up to Wandong in ecstasy. "Big brother! You're a real prophet!"

Though it was the very first time that they had ever met, Zong Qi and Wu Yang got on extremely well with one another. They marveled at how much they shared in common.

Although Leng Yuecui had long seen it coming, she still got blown away by the thrilling result. She cast an adoring look at Wandong, with her love for him hard to contain.

"Crooks! The Tianbao guys are nothing but a gang of crooks!"

"Crush the god-damned Tianbao Mansion! Put down the Tiezhan hackneys!"

"Refund! Give my gold back!..."

A total of ninety-nine raw stones of the blood steel had been opened with zero output. The Tianbao Mansion's outrageous extortion eventually gave rise to a huge backlash from the angry crowd. Waves of curses and roars came out one after another. The bad-tempered ones even started to smash the commodities of the Tianbao Mansion.

Sweats cascading down her forehead, Duan Lengyan shook her head ceaselessly. She shook so feverishly as if she had taken ecstasy, muttering nonstop.

"That's impossible! How come? No…That's impossible!... Impossible!"

Wu Qiujun burst into an abrupt exclamation, "That's a swindle!"

He reached out her right hand to the last cube of raw stone. With a sudden tight grab, the raw stone was crashed into ashes. It went out without saying that there was no blood steel at all.

A total of one hundred raw stones of the blood steel proved invalid. As experienced as he was, Wu Qiujun went utterly baffled. He had no idea about what to do with the scaring result in the slightest.

Zong Qi, Wu Yang, and Leng Yuecui all felt relieved across the board. By no stretch of the imagination had they ever pictured that Wandong came off as the winner of the bet. Apparently, the odds were terribly against them.

It felt as if Wandong conjured up a fairy-tale-like victory. The three guys cast admiring eyes on Wandong at the same time.
