The sight of Chen Nan’s appearance ignited murderous intent in many eyes!
Though many did not have a good relationship with Luo Rang and his ilk, Luo Rang was, after all, a member of the Black Dragon Hall. Chen Nan killing seven of their disciples in broad daylight was an act of blatant defiance towards all of them!
However!
They were shocked to discover that even with hundreds of Golden Immortals and Supreme Immortals gathered, emanating intense killing intent, Chen Nan remained unfazed. It was as if he regarded them as mere air. With one hand behind his back, he strode confidently into the casino.
Despite their hostility towards Chen Nan and their desire to tear him limb from limb, they could not help but admire his boldness. It was a caliber of courage few possessed.
Upon entering the main hall of the casino, an eerie silence prevailed. It was evident that the place had been cleared. Chen Nan casually sat down at a gambling table and calmly said, “Have the Black Dragon come out.”
“You dare to address my boss by his name? Are you seeking death?” a Supreme Immortal realm expert roared in fury.
“Are you speaking to me?” Chen Nan cast a cold, indifferent gaze.
That single glance left the Supreme Immortal realm expert’s face pale, a layer of goosebumps erupting on his skin. Chen Nan was clearly a mere ant in the Earth Immortal realm, yet for some inexplicable reason, he felt an overwhelming sense of danger, as if the person before him was the embodiment of death itself. That one look sent shivers down his spine, a fleeting sensation of brushing past the Grim Reaper.
“Chen Nan, you truly have a boundless audacity!”
Accompanying this deep voice, the Black Dragon, clad in a black robe, emerged with a retinue of experts. Each one of them exuded a palpable aura of killing intent, their hatred undisguised.
“You killed my Black Dragon Hall disciples, and now you come here to provoke me. Do you truly believe I dare not kill you?” The Black Dragon sat down at the gambling table opposite Chen Nan.
Chen Nan casually placed his foot on the table and stated, “Since I dared to come, it means I don’t have you in my sights.”
“I’ll finish you right now!” a middle-aged man bellowed, drawing his long sword and lunging at Chen Nan.
“Scram!”
Chen Nan threw out a punch. The terrifying energy struck the man’s chest instantly. With a sickening thud, the man spat blood and was sent flying out of the casino. The hall fell into a stunned silence.
This was a powerhouse at the eighth level of the Supreme Immortal realm, a top-tier expert even within the Black Dragon Hall. Who could have imagined that Chen Nan, a mere Earth Immortal realm ant, could send him flying with a single punch?
The Black Dragon narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to discern Chen Nan’s true strength. Despite his Earth Immortal realm cultivation, who would dare claim that this was his limit? Facing someone whose depths he could not fathom, who dared to brazenly enter the Black Dragon Hall’s stronghold alone, he dared not underestimate him.
Chen Nan: “Let’s get straight to the point. I’m here to gamble with you.”
The Black Dragon smiled playfully. “Gamble on what?”
Chen Nan: “On odds or evens.”
The Black Dragon chuckled. “What is your stake?”
Chen Nan: “If I win, you will hand over the antidote for the Mu Kui San.”
The Black Dragon inquired, “And if you lose?”
Chen Nan let out a faint laugh. “I shouldn’t lose.”
A cold glint flashed in the Black Dragon’s eyes. “There’s always an exception, isn’t there?”
Chen Nan pondered for a moment and replied, “If I truly lose, then I will spare your lives.”

The casino was struck by an absolute silence. Everyone stared with wide eyes, convinced they were hallucinating. You lose, and you spare their lives? Damn it! What kind of a wager was that?
Chen Nan casually picked up a few dice and said lightly, “We don’t have any deep-seated grudges between us. Even though I killed seven of your Black Dragon Hall disciples today, there was a reason for it. The fault lies with you, not me.”
The Black Dragon sneered. “And then?”
Chen Nan: “If possible, I don’t want to be your enemy.”
The Black Dragon repeatedly sneered. “Are you afraid of us?!”
Chen Nan countered, “Do you enjoy killing chickens?”
The Black Dragon: “Not in the slightest!”
“Neither do I!” Chen Nan stated casually. “It’s not that I don’t want to be your enemy, but you are not worthy of being my opponent. In my eyes, you are like a flock of chickens.”
At these words, an immense wave of fury surged through everyone present. This was the Black Dragon Hall, their stronghold! Chen Nan openly insulted them, likening them to chickens. How could they not be enraged?
The Black Dragon’s gaze deepened, attempting to pierce through Chen Nan. But alas, Chen Nan remained like a mist before him. Even though the man was within arm’s reach, he could not see through him. He couldn’t discern his strength, let alone his intentions. He knew Chen Nan had ties with Jing Tiancheng of the Formation Academy. However, he didn’t consider Jing Tiancheng a threat. So, what gave Chen Nan the confidence to come to the Black Dragon Hall?
“Give me a clear answer, are you gambling or not!” Chen Nan demanded.
The Black Dragon gritted his teeth. “This wager is incredibly unfair to us.”
Chen Nan: “I feel it is perfectly fair.”
The Black Dragon suddenly felt a sense of apprehension. Despite his years of experience, he had never encountered such an unfathomable and peculiar individual as Chen Nan. After a moment’s hesitation, he said, “Fine, I’ll gamble with you.”
“Boss, Wang Jing is here!” At that moment, a disciple of the Black Dragon Hall rushed in.
Chen Nan: “When I was coming, Wang Jing approached me and asked me to join forces with them to eliminate you!”
“Tell them to get lost!” the Black Dragon roared.
“Yes!”
“So, how do we play?” the Black Dragon asked, looking at Chen Nan.
Chen Nan made a casual gesture, and a bamboo tube landed in his hand. He placed six dice inside. “You guess my numbers, I guess yours. Best of three.”
The Black Dragon blinked in surprise, then burst into laughter. His subordinates also roared with laughter. “Our boss is the gambling god of Yan Country, renowned for guessing numbers. Can you possibly defeat him? You’re bound to lose this round!”
The smile slowly faded from the Black Dragon’s face. “Are you sure you want to compete with me in guessing numbers?”
Chen Nan: “Yes, because if I lose, I will take your lives.”
“Alright, I’d like to see how you plan to take our lives!” The Black Dragon’s killing intent flared, and he picked up a bamboo tube, shaking it vigorously. The rattling sound of dice echoed from within.
Chen Nan: “I guess six ones, small!”
Everyone stared at Chen Nan as if he were an idiot. If you were to wait for my boss to cover the tube on the table before guessing, perhaps you could guess one or two correctly. But now… you have no chance of winning! My boss can skillfully roll any numbers he desires.
Clatter, clatter!
With the sound of dice colliding with the bamboo tube, the Black Dragon slammed the tube down onto the gambling table with a bang.
“Your turn to shake!” the Black Dragon said with a half-smile, looking at Chen Nan.
Chen Nan made a casual gesture. The six dice rolled within the tube. However, there was no sound. At this moment, the Black Dragon’s expression changed. Damn it! This guy is a master!
