Chapter 1378: Constantly Making Enemies, Winning Big
As soon as Su Jingzhen uttered those words, the crowd fell silent for a moment before erupting in rage.
“What did you say? Newcomer, you’re asking for death!” The man’s killing intent burned fiercely. If it weren’t for the presence of the arena’s enforcers, he would have attacked Su Jingzhen on the spot.
However, Su Jingzhen had other plans. His face still wore that same arrogant expression.
“Not just you, but all of you who want to challenge me to the battle platform are idiots! Just a bunch of sore losers who can’t handle losing.”
After saying this, Su Jingzhen turned his attention to the two women in his arms. “Alright, let’s go check out some other battle platforms that are about to start. I wonder if I can lose all the things I just won.”
Hearing this, the two women looked at him with surprise.
Their eyes swept over the surrounding gamblers, and they couldn’t help but feel a pang of pity for Su Jingzhen.
Having spent years in the Blood Demon Battle Arena, they knew how ruthless these gamblers could be.
The gamblers seemed to realize this as well. They stopped arguing with Su Jingzhen and instead chose to follow him closely.
Soon, under the guidance of the two women, Su Jingzhen arrived at another betting table where a new fight was about to begin. Just like before, he took out two Demon General Realm spirit tools and even added all the spoils he had just won. Once again, he bet on a fighter that no one else favored.
The sight of the two Demon General Realm spirit tools immediately ignited the crowd’s greed. They began placing their bets frantically, and even those who had followed from the third battle platform couldn’t resist joining in.
“The difference in strength on this fifth battle platform is so obvious. Last time, he got lucky, but this time? I can see it now—he’s just a spoiled brat. We can’t kill him in the arena, but once he steps outside, he’s dead. For now, let’s win those spirit tools from him. It might help make up for our losses.”
“I refuse to believe I’ll lose again!”
The regulars at the fifth betting table were puzzled by the sudden influx of gamblers.
“What’s going on? Is that guy a newcomer? Why is he attracting so many gamblers?”
“From past experience, newcomers are usually easy to win from. Two Demon General Realm spirit tools are too good to pass up.”
As they discussed, they too began placing their bets. The fifth betting table became even more frenzied than the third.
While the betting was in full swing, the battle on the platform began. Su Jingzhen had bet on a fifth-stage Demon Sage Realm demon beast—a seemingly ordinary demon tiger. Its opponent was a sixth-stage Starry Sky Demon.
At first, the battle went as expected. The Starry Sky Demon easily suppressed the demon tiger, dealing it heavy injuries. Just when it seemed the tiger was about to lose, its bloodline suddenly awakened! In an instant, it tore its sixth-stage opponent to shreds.
The sudden turn of events left the gamblers at the fifth betting table stunned.
Su Jingzhen and Mo Xuantian exchanged a knowing smile. The demon tiger’s awakening wasn’t a coincidence. Mo Xuantian, with his Demon King-level insight, had noticed the tiger’s potential and secretly aided its transformation at the critical moment.
“Hahaha, my apologies, everyone. I’ve won again. Thank you for your generosity.”
Before anyone could react, Su Jingzhen had already collected his winnings from the table, leaving only the arena’s 30% cut. His smug demeanor only fueled the crowd’s hatred, but within the arena, there was nothing they could do.
“To destroy someone, first make them arrogant. Let him be cocky for now. I’ve already arranged for people to kill him the moment he steps out of the arena.”
“A newcomer daring to win so much on his first visit to the Blood Demon Battle Arena is practically asking for death.”
Su Jingzhen ignored their venomous glares. He continued to have the two women lead him to other battle platforms, where he kept winning—big time!
Though it seemed like he was randomly choosing fighters to bet on, with Mo Xuantian’s help, he couldn’t lose. Even fighters who were clearly weaker could be turned into absolute winners with Mo Xuantian’s subtle interventions.
With each battle platform he visited, Su Jingzhen made more enemies. In less than an hour, he had become the public enemy of every gambler in the Blood Demon Battle Arena. What made it worse was his unrelenting arrogance.
While Su Jingzhen continued to place bets inside the arena, a crowd had already gathered outside the main entrance.
Some were there to watch the spectacle, while others were preparing to attack Su Jingzhen the moment he stepped out. The resources he had won were enough to tempt even the strongest experts in Blood Demon City, including those at the Demon General Realm.
Another hour passed.
Su Jingzhen gave the two women in his arms a playful squeeze and then took out two Demon Sage Realm treasures, stuffing them into their cleavage.
“Alright, it’s time for me to go. Thank you for accompanying me. I had a great time. These are for you.”
With that, he released the two women and headed toward the arena’s exit with Mo Xuantian.
“Young master, no!”
The two women’s expressions changed drastically. They didn’t even have time to examine the treasures Su Jingzhen had given them, their eyes filled with worry.
Su Jingzhen raised an eyebrow and glanced at them.
One of the women spoke up, “Young master, you’ve made too many enemies this time. Why not stay in the arena for a while? We can send word to your sect and have strong experts come to escort you. It would be safer to leave then.”
Su Jingzhen’s unstoppable winning streak had left a deep impression on the two women. It was rare for women in their line of work to develop genuine feelings, but they couldn’t help but worry for him.
Su Jingzhen smiled faintly but didn’t say much. He didn’t want to involve them too deeply. After all, he would eventually leave, and anyone connected to him without sufficient strength would likely face retaliation.
Without another word, he continued walking toward the exit with Mo Xuantian.
