The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 2709 - 2684: Undefeated General
In the small courtyard, Lin Bai noticed that when Ban Ye and Fatty heard the name Xu Guang, their expressions were unnatural, and even showed a hint of fear and dread.
Especially when Ban Ye guessed that the Sword Demon was going to fight Xu Guang, Ban Ye was so scared that he took a big gulp of wine to calm his nerves.
"Uncle Ban Ye, Uncle Fatty, who exactly is this Xu Guang? Why are you so shocked upon hearing his name?" Lin Bai curiously asked as he looked at the two.
"He is..." Ban Ye took a swig of strong liquor, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Fatty, on the other hand, was unwilling to even think about this person, constantly shaking his head.
This only made Lin Bai more curious about Xu Guang. Just who was he to have such a feared reputation in Black Water City?
After a moment of silence, Ban Ye said, "Brother Lin Bai, do you know about the Undefeated General in the Fighting Arena?"
"Xu Guang is the Undefeated General in the Fighting Arena of Black Water City!"
Ban Ye looked at Lin Bai and said seriously. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"What!" Lin Bai exclaimed in surprise, widening his eyes.
Lin Bai initially thought that Xu Guang might be a Great General, but he never expected that Xu Guang was actually the Undefeated General of Black Water City.
Ban Ye said, "In the Fighting Arena of Black Water City, there are countless ordinary warriors now!"
"There are over a thousand Little Generals!"
"More than a hundred Undefeated Generals!"
"And over twenty Great Generals!"
"But there is only one Undefeated General!"
"The Undefeated General of Black Water City’s Fighting Arena is Xu Guang!"
Ban Ye said in a low voice.
Fatty spoke at this moment, "Furthermore, Xu Guang has been in the Fighting Arena for a long time now, he has been in battles there for at least fifty years!"
"In these long fifty-plus years, he has participated in over two thousand martial arts competitions, without a single defeat!"
"What a glorious record, over two thousand full victories without a single defeat!"
Thinking of Xu Guang, Fatty’s whole body shook.
Lin Bai curiously asked, "Why is this? Has Xu Guang already broken through to the Wending Realm?"
Ban Ye shook his head and said, "No, Senior Xu Guang is still at the Great Perfection of the Death Reversal Realm, he perhaps has long been able to break through to the Wending Realm, but he hasn’t!"
"However, his strength is probably the strongest below the Wending Realm!"
Ban Ye said faintly.
Hearing this, Lin Bai’s expression became somewhat solemn.
Ban Ye said, "On the Northern Continent, within the Lounan Dynasty, there is the saying of ten thousand cities, each city has a Fighting Arena, and each arena has an Undefeated General!"
"The status of the Undefeated Generals in the Fighting Arena is extremely high, they are considered among the high-level figures in the arena!"
"In other words, they shouldn’t be considered just warriors, they should be counted as high-level figures in the arena!"
"And Senior Xu Guang, has not made a move for seven or eight years now, but this time, he is actually going to battle the Sword Demon!"
"This will surely cause a massive shockwave in Black Water City, even warriors from the surrounding cities will come upon hearing the news. At that time, the odds in the Fighting Arena will rise to a peak!"
Ban Ye said gently.
Lin Bai was lost in thought, taking a sip of wine, his gaze low, contemplating something unknown.
Fatty said, "Hopefully the Sword Demon won’t lose too miserably at the hands of Senior Xu Guang!"
"But then again, the casino in the Fighting Arena should be open now!"
"Ban Ye, why don’t we try to make a little more?"
"Put it all on Senior Xu Guang, surely, he won’t lose."
Fatty looked at Ban Ye and said.
Ban Ye hesitated for a moment, glanced lightly at Lin Bai, his expression weighed down, pondering something unknown!
At this moment, Lin Bai looked up at Ban Ye and said, "Uncle Ban Ye, did you already know?"
Fatty curiously looked at Lin Bai, asking, "Brother Lin Bai, what are you talking about? What does Ban Ye already know?"
Hearing Lin Bai’s words, Ban Ye chuckled softly and said, "Don’t forget, I was the one who sent you to the Fighting Arena, and that day, there were only a few newcomers who stood out!"
"There is no need to think further, I could guess it was you!"
Lin Bai chuckled lightly, drank the wine in his cup, and said with a smile, "Uncle Ban Ye, if you still believe, then put all the merits on me!"
"I will not lose!"
"And this battle might be the one with the highest odds in Black Water City in recent years, if you bet correctly, you might instantly turn around in Black Water City!"
Lin Bai smiled lightly and turned back to his courtyard.
Ban Ye looked at Lin Bai, remaining silent.
Fatty frowned and asked, "Ban Ye, what were you and Lin Bai talking about? I couldn’t understand a thing!"
"What does Brother Lin Bai mean when he says he won’t lose?"
Ban Ye took a deep breath and said seriously, "Because he is the Sword Demon!"
Thump!
Upon hearing Ban Ye’s words, Fatty was just about to drink a cup of wine, but as he heard these words, his hand slipped inadvertently, causing the cup to fall to the ground.
Fatty looked at Lin Bai’s back with eyes wide open in shock.
"What!"
"Ban Ye, you say that Brother Lin Bai is the Sword Demon, the current sensation in the Fighting Arena!"
"He is the Sword Demon?"
Fatty exclaimed in surprise.
Ban Ye nodded slightly.
Fatty exclaimed in disbelief, "My goodness, he is actually the Sword Demon!"
Ban Ye said, "Just now Brother Lin Bai told me to place my bet on him, that he will not lose!"
Fatty seemed hesitant, pondering for a moment, indecisively asking, "So Ban Ye, what are you planning? Really bet on Brother Lin Bai? Can he defeat Senior Xu Guang?"
Ban Ye laughed, "Of course, I’ll bet on Brother Lin Bai, after all, it was thanks to him that I earned so many merits now!"
"Not only will I bet on him, but I’ll bet all my merits!"
"I’ve exchanged for a complete Darkwater Divine Thunder Technique, and I still have a million merits left!"
"This time, I will place it all on Brother Lin Bai!"
"These merits, were originally won back thanks to him, even if I lose it all, it doesn’t matter."
Ban Ye smiled slightly, showing a carefree attitude!
Fatty shook his head and said, "Brother, I fear I can’t follow you on this bet this time, his opponent is after all Senior Xu Guang, I can’t risk it too much, I need to think it over carefully!"
Ban Ye laughed, "I understand!"
With that said, Ban Ye went straight to the Fighting Arena.
After arriving at the Fighting Arena, Ban Ye did not leave, instead, he waited until the odds reached their peak before placing his bet!
Ever since the news of the battle between Xu Guang and the Sword Demon spread, it immediately caused a sensation in Black Water City.
In just one night, the odds between Xu Guang and the Sword Demon reached one to ten!
And now, there are still six days until the martial arts competition.
In these six days, no one knows to what terrifying extent the odds will rise!
