Pokémon: Dark King

The old man was so angry that he was beaten.

Ren Jie's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley. Was the echoing scepter in the shape of an arm a spiritual treasure?

The so-called spiritual treasure is not a magic weapon in the world of immortal cultivation, but a treasure with special abilities that was born under various coincidences.

For example, the first snow folding fan can be regarded as a spiritual treasure.

Obviously, this echoing scepter is also an arm that was broken off from someone.

Just an arm can release such a huge barrier. It is conceivable how strong the owner of this arm is.

But this is not the main problem now.

The most important thing is that Ren Jie is locked in a barrier with more than 30 playing cards.

And each of these people wanted to eat Ren Jie alive.

Ren Jie looked at the heavy barrier with an ugly face, and then smiled bitterly:

"I say... Is it necessary to make such a big fuss? Is it a bit too much?"

"Just to deal with a rookie like me in the spine realm?"

Xiao Wang sneered: "To deal with you? Ha~ I want you to die at any time, just to prevent the people from the Demon Suppression Division and the Daxia Defense Army from causing trouble."

"After all, this is on the territory of Daxia, it's better to be safe. Don't think I don't know what you are up to..."

"Since you have chosen to play your cards, you must win, right?"

Ren Jie's face was livid, as if his plan had been seen through.

Xiao Wang stretched his back hard:

"Now... give me the candle demon."

But Ren Jie shook his head firmly:

"I will not hand over the candle demon before I see the person. We agreed before coming here. I will release one person for the things I give you. I will release another one after you evacuate safely."

"You should know that the candle demon has the ability to become virtual. If it does not appear in a physical form, you can't touch it."

"Don't think that Xirang can lure it out. It doesn't need that thing very much now."

At this moment, the candle demon also appeared above Ren Jie's head, looking at everyone curiously, its body was in a virtual state, and the candle flame was swaying...

As soon as these words came out, more than 30 people present laughed out loud.

The King of Spades grinned:

"Boy... you still don't see the situation clearly?"

The King of Hearts said calmly: "Now, you, the candle demon, are all locked up in the echo barrier, and everything we want is already in our hands!"

"Do you think we still need to abide by the agreement? Even if the candle demon is virtualized, it can't break out of the echo barrier. We just need to narrow the range of the barrier..."

"So... give us a reason to spare your family, or a reason not to kill you?"

Ren Jie's face became extremely ugly, and his steel teeth clenched:

"Liar! You bunch of shameless bastards!"

The King of Spades sneered, rushed up and punched Ren Jie in the stomach.

"Bang!"

Ren Jie was directly beaten to kneel on the ground, spitting blood and coughing violently.

Once the echo barrier was released, Xiao Wang was not in a hurry, but came to the card table, grabbed a deck of playing cards and shuffled them skillfully.

"Come here~ Let's play two rounds?"

Ren Jie, who was lying on the ground, was put on the card table.

Xiao Wang smiled: "The rules are very simple. The only chip in your hand now is to restore the candle demon's entity, and the chip in my hand is the lives of the three of you."

"During the gambling process, you can choose to hand over your chips at any time to end the game."

"We will play three rounds in total. In the end, whether you can win back your life depends on your luck. How about it? Do you want to play?"

Ren Jie wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face full of resentment:

"Do I have a choice?"

Xiao Wang smiled: "Very good... Then let's start?"

"This time, the bet is Tao Yaoyao's life, comparing the size!"

The cards were dealt as he spoke.

Looking at the cards dealt to him one by one, Ren Jie's heart was pounding, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands were shaking with nervousness.

The other members of the poker game also looked at this scene with interest. Betting on life is our favorite.

As soon as the cards were dealt, Ren Jie couldn't wait to grab the cards in his hand and twist them open.

Then his expression froze, and his eyes were full of despair.

Xiao Wang looked at Ren Jie with interest, as if he was enjoying his despair.

"Your chips... are you going to hand them over now?"

At this moment, Ren Jie was already a little hysterical.

"This

It's not fair, you dealt the cards, you cheated!"

Xiao Wang smiled and spread out his cards, which was the biggest royal flush.

"Fair? Ha~ fair? This world is inherently unfair. Some people are born with some things, while some people can't get them even if they struggle all their lives..."

"Tell me...what is fair?"

"It's like playing cards. You start with a bad hand. I'm the dealer and I deal the cards. This is the rule. How can you win?"

"And the price of losing is often unbearable..."

Ren Jie gritted his teeth: "What do you want to say?"

Xiao Wang smiled and looked at the dark night sky:

"Do you know? This world is rotten, rotten to the root, rotten beyond redemption. People like us, even if we fight for our whole life, there is no way out. The rules are like this, the situation is like this..."

"Then... break the rules, change the rules, this world needs a big reshuffle, everything in the past should have ended long ago, and in the new world, we have to be the one who makes the rules!"

"No longer stay at this small card table, but be the one who gambles!"

"Boy... follow me, the candle demon needs you to prolong his life, the magician will like you, swallow this, I will let you live, and I will protect your family, but you can't see them for the time being..."

While speaking, he threw a crystal bottle on the table, and the bottle contained a black worm, making a creaking sound.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Ren Jie's eyes.

Xiao Wang smiled and said, "What? Don't want to? So... do you want to continue? ”

“I’ll give you ten seconds to choose, swallow this and work with me, or open the cards and we’ll continue playing. Next time, bet on An Ning’s life.”

“Because of you, I lost a few generals, but I don’t care. Good things like this will be hard to find in the future…”

“Ten, nine, eight…

The King of Diamonds slapped Ren Jie on the back of his head:

“Don’t be so shameless!”

Ren Jie turned around and glared at the King of Diamonds fiercely, then looked up at the King, a smile on his face, and threw his cards directly on the table.

Little!

Poor Little, he was directly beaten by the King’s Royal Flush.

The King frowned and looked at Ren Jie.

Ren Jie smiled brightly:

"You think you've won, right? Unfortunately... the real poker table is not here."

"Life cannot be defined by a mere deck of cards. So what if you were born with nothing? A life with infinite possibilities is wonderful, because every day in the future is worth looking forward to."

"This world is indeed not a world where you will definitely get what you want as long as you work hard, but I promise that all your efforts will not be in vain. They will turn into light and illuminate your way forward..."

"So it's not your turn as a loser to tell me some great truths here. I won't gamble with my family's lives, because as long as you gamble, there is a possibility of losing."

"Fortunately, I'm not in this game of cards, and the outcome is uncertain, but you are already there, and... from the moment you decide to make a move, you've already lost."

A hint of murderous intent suddenly appeared in Xiao Wang's eyes!

"What the hell are you talking about?"

His big hand glowed red, and he grabbed Ren Jie's neck.

Ren Jie narrowed his eyes and said:

"Candlelight...Illusionary World!"
