When the news of the Sword Demon being set to duel with the Moon God spread throughout Black Water City, it once again stirred a massive uproar.

There is no doubt that the Sword Demon is currently in the limelight, having just defeated the Beast, and is in a period of great fame. Now all the warriors within Black Water City are discussing the Sword Demon.

And coincidentally at this juncture, the Sword Demon is about to duel with the Moon God, naturally causing a ripple effect throughout the community.

"The Sword Demon is going to duel with the Moon God. My god, the recent fighting arena events are getting more exciting!"

"The Moon God, the Great General of the Tang Family. Although this woman hasn’t won many matches in the fighting arena, having only participated in fifteen duels in total, even in just these fifteen duels, the fighting arena recognized her with the strength worthy of a Great General!"

"The most terrifying is her sword skill; not a single warrior who has faced her sword could withstand a hundred moves!"

"It’s said that the Moon God initiated this challenge to the Sword Demon!"

"Did the Moon God issue the challenge?"

"It seems like the Moon God is quite confident!"

"There’s a big question now; who should I place my bets on?"

"Bet on the Sword Demon? Or the Moon God?"

"..."

Many warriors are indecisive.

The Sword Demon is currently too much in the limelight, with all warriors believing the Sword Demon is very strong.

However, now the Moon God steps in, and in their hearts, the Moon God is obviously stronger.

Especially since the Moon God actively challenged the Sword Demon, this makes it difficult for these warriors, not knowing who to bet on at this moment!

The duel between the Sword Demon and the Moon God is scheduled for five days later.

But now, four days have passed. In the underground casino of the fighting arena, not many warriors have placed bets.

They don’t dare to bet lightly, fearing if they do, they might lose everything!

Seeing no one placing bets.

It seems the fighting arena is also feeling restless!

Immediately, news was released from the Zhao family.

This news was: the Great General of the Tang family, the Moon God, was attacked by a warrior last night and seriously injured, and now the Zhao family is doing everything possible to heal her!

After this news spread throughout the fighting arena, all the warriors’ eyes flashed!

"The Moon God was ambushed? This is obviously a tactic of the Zhao family!"

"Clearly, the Zhao family thinks the Sword Demon cannot defeat the Moon God, so they dispatched a warrior to injure the Moon God, letting her go to the match with injuries, so the Sword Demon has a chance!"

"Hmm, it should be the Zhao family who made this move!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

In Black Water City, all the warriors are basically discussing this news.

Moreover, the fighting arena sent experts to the Tang family to inquire about the situation.

The Tang family’s response was: "The Moon God’s injury is minor and she can still perform tomorrow! Even if the Moon God only has a third of her strength, it’s enough to defeat the Sword Demon!"

After this news was released, indeed, there were many warriors rushing to place their bets in the underground casino.

And the target of their bets turned out to be the Moon God!

Based on the news coming from the Tang family, the Moon God was ambushed and seriously injured, losing a third of her strength. According to this news, warriors in Black Water City should be placing their bets on the Sword Demon!

But unexpectedly, the warriors in Black Water City did the opposite!

They heard the Moon God was injured and instead placed more bets on the Moon God!

In just one night, the odds between the Sword Demon and the Moon God reached an astonishing five to one!

At dusk, Ban Ye and Uncle Fatty walked into the underground casino.

"Now the odds between the Sword Demon and the Moon God are five to one. Yesterday it was one to one, and within such a short night, it changed to five to one. Do so many people think the Moon God will win?"

"Are these people fools? Haven’t they heard the Moon God was injured?"

Uncle Fatty said with a curl of his lips.

Ban Ye was very puzzled, frowning without speaking.

At this moment, a warrior walked past the two, laughing as he spoke, "You two are really too naive!"

Fatty and Ban Ye both looked at the warrior who walked past them and hurriedly pulled him over, asking, "Brother, what do you mean?"

The warrior, being pulled by Fatty, laughed and said, "The Moon God’s injury is clearly just a bait released by the fighting arena. They tell you the Moon God was injured, and if it were other foolish warriors, they would certainly place all their bets on the Sword Demon!"

"After all, the Sword Demon is so strong, dealing with an injured Moon God would be a piece of cake!"

"But it’s such a simple plot, easy to see through!"

"The reason the fighting arena spreads this rumor is to hope that all the warriors place their bets on the Sword Demon, and when the match takes place, the Moon God will not be injured and will defeat the Sword Demon!"

"By then, all the bets on the Sword Demon will be in vain!"

"So, now you understand why so many people are betting on the Moon God!"

The warrior gave Uncle Fatty a glance, shook off his hand, and turned to leave.

And Uncle Fatty saw the warrior holding a betting slip in his hand, with the words "Moon God wins, one hundred thousand merits" written clearly on it. Obviously, this warrior had placed a heavy bet on the Moon God!

Fatty watched the warrior leave, suddenly realizing as he said, "So that’s it, is this all a setup by the fighting arena?"

"Ban Ye, should we bet on the Moon God?"

After hearing the warrior’s words, Ban Ye’s face darkened, and after contemplating for a long while, he said, "No, I will still bet on the Sword Demon!"

Fatty said, "Ban Ye, didn’t you hear what that person just said? The Moon God is not injured at all. This is all just a facade put out by the fighting arena!"

"If we still bet on the Sword Demon now, it seems likely that the Sword Demon will face misfortune at the hands of the Moon God!" Fatty said.

Ban Ye smiled and said, "Fatty, I can’t force you, but I believe the Sword Demon can defeat the Moon God, so I will bet on the Sword Demon!"

"If you want to bet with me, then do; if not, then go bet on the Moon God!"

After saying this, Ban Ye walked to the betting area and said, "Sword Demon wins, fifty thousand merits!"

Seeing Ban Ye place his bet, Fatty immediately gritted his teeth, followed, and said, "Sword Demon wins, ten thousand merits!"

Ban Ye and Fatty both placed heavy bets on Lin Bai!

...

The news of the Moon God’s injury was causing quite a stir in Black Water City.

Soon, it was the day of the duel!

Lin Bai, as expected, arrived at Yellow Character No.1, and said in a low voice, "I heard the Moon God was injured? Why not postpone the duel until she heals?"

Madam Yang chuckled lightly, "How could the Moon God possibly be injured? It’s just a ruse I spread. If I hadn’t spread it, how would so many warriors bet on the Moon God winning?"

"If not for so many people betting on the Moon God, how would the odds rise!" Madam Yang laughed.

Only then did Lin Bai realize, the news of the Moon God’s injury wasn’t the fighting arena’s manipulation, but everything was driven by Madam Yang.

"Sword Demon, today I’ve placed a bet of ten million merits on you, and wagered another five hundred thousand merits with the Tang family, you better not disappoint me!" Madam Yang whispered.

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

And then Judge Ning Zheng shouted, "Sword Demon and Moon God, please enter the arena!"

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Bai left the Elegant Pavilion and walked into the fighting arena.

On the other side of the fighting arena, the passageway stone gate opened, and from it emerged a graceful and enchanting woman, dressed in a black robe, wearing a silvery-white moon crescent mask...
