210. Merit +1
One Pillar to Heaven, met with nothing.
Originally thought One Pillar to Heaven was unbeatable, but it turned out all the dice were shattered.
Everyone was stunned, the key was that there was no sound of the dice shattering when he shook them.
“What is this!” Huang Hui shouted.
“What is this? It’s zero points, not a single die, not a single face up.”
“This is destroying the dice, it’s against the rules!”
“I only remember you saying the points are counted by the faces up, besides, you didn’t say your One Pillar to Heaven was reasonable.”
“You broke the rules, you lost!”
Huang Hui roared in discontent, his One Pillar to Heaven was the strongest, how could he accept that all the dice were shattered.
“One point against zero points, you lost and you’re still not convinced, you can die now.”
This time Lin Nuo didn’t let Qin Shili take action, he directly slashed down, the knife fell and blood splattered, staining the gambling table red.
The people in the gambling house didn’t react, Huang Hui was directly killed by Lin Nuo.
Another one dead, two gambling experts, both killed by Lin Nuo and his group.
“You, you killed again! Is this what Xuan Yun Sect disciples do?!”
“Curse Xuan Yun Sect all you want, curse as you please. But let me tell you, if you lose a life bet, I don’t need his life, killing him is just killing him. You’ve been running this gambling house for so long, you should know that what you lose doesn’t belong to you, right?”
“You…!”
The gambling house owner was furious, this person was here to cause trouble and wreck the place.
At this moment, the owner’s subordinate came to report:
“Boss, the Dark Alliance people are here.”
“Good, kill those two.”
The owner angrily ordered, and immediately some people from the Dark Alliance walked in from outside.
This was their territory, how could they tolerate outsiders being presumptuous.
Qin Shili immediately became alert, as the few people who entered had a strong presence.
“How is it now?” Qin Shili asked.
“These people from the Dark Alliance, kill them, and tear down this gambling house.”
Lin Nuo immediately raised the long sword in his hand, “I’ve been displeased with this place for a long time.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Nuo launched a shadow attack, using both hidden weapons and sharp blades, directly targeting the people from the Dark Alliance.
The entire gambling house instantly fell into chaos. The gamblers ran and screamed, bumping into each other and trampling over one another. A large number of people collapsed on the ground, and some even took the opportunity to gather money, fighting over it.
Seeing Lin Nuo take action, Qin Shili certainly wouldn’t stand by.
She wondered if it was an illusion, because with Lin Nuo’s strength, he should have been able to crush the opponents.
But now, it seemed that wasn’t the case. Lin Nuo was agile and had the shadow clone technique, and the people from the Dark Alliance indeed couldn’t hit him.
However, it seemed he couldn’t hit them either?
The seemingly fancy moves didn’t seem to work?
Maybe he was leaving her a chance to showcase her skills, deliberately not crushing the opponents immediately.
Fighting alongside Lin Nuo for the first time, although Qin Shili appeared cold as ice on the surface, she was very excited inside, even thinking of commemorating this good day.
The Sword of Ice, Frost Storm, instantly froze the hands and feet of all the Dark Alliance members.
Kill!
At the seventh level of high skill, Qin Shili faced the Dark Alliance assassins head-on, killing most of the reinforcements in just a few rounds.
Clean and efficient, without any hesitation.
Looking at Lin Nuo’s side, he was still giving people a massage, using flashy moves, and after a long time, he finally killed one Dark Alliance member.
“Good, killed one, keep killing. Hmm, where are the others?”
After playing around for a long time, Lin Nuo finally got into the state, but when he looked around, Qin Shili had already killed the others.
Impressive, impressive, I humbly admit defeat. It was indeed right to bring her as a fighter.
The scene inside the gambling house was extremely chaotic, with a large pile of corpses on the ground, completely unbearable to look at.
The gambling house owner, who was pressed under the corpses, still had a bit of breath left, trying to struggle out.
Lin Nuo noticed him and walked over.
Looking at Lin Nuo, the owner was terrified and at a loss, quickly begging for mercy:
“Hero, hero, spare my life! I can give you any amount of money you want, please, please spare my life, I, I know I was wrong!”
At this moment, Lin Nuo raised his sharp blade and said:
“I originally wanted to spare you, but you cursed me, so you and your brothers can go to the afterlife together.”
“Hero, hero, I swear to the heavens, I didn’t curse you!”
Lin Nuo ignored his plea and directly struck with his sword, blood splattering as the man fell.
I hate it when people call me a hero.
Lin Nuo didn’t originally plan to massacre the gambling den, but since they brought in people from the Dark Alliance, he might as well go through with it.
Those who once mocked him are now all dead.
“Do these people have any grudges against you?”
Qin Shili sheathed her long sword and walked up to ask. After all, she noticed that Lin Nuo seemed intent on wiping out entire families, so she felt there might be some grudges involved.
“There are plenty of people who have grudges against me. Actually, I don’t need any reason to kill them.”
Lin Nuo also sheathed his sword. He was inherently an unrestrained and unbound villain. Since when did he need a reason to kill? Killing is just killing.
“So you came for Li Ruo’er. May I see the IOU?”
“Here.”
Lin Nuo handed the IOU to Qin Shili. It stated that Li Ruo’er’s adoptive father had pawned her as collateral for his debt.
Li Ruo’er was an adopted daughter. Even biological children could be sold or pawned, let alone an adopted one. Li Ruo’er served as Lin Nuo’s maid, but she was essentially just working for him and hadn’t been completely sold into the Lin family as a maid.
Here, parents have the right to decide their children’s fate, especially adopted ones. Li Ruo’er essentially had no human rights to speak of.
“Losing a bet and then pawning his adopted daughter, this Li Kun is really scum.” Looking at the IOU, Qin Shili felt somewhat angry.
However, Lin Nuo made no comment. He was a villain and didn’t adhere to conventional moral standards. Li Kun was just a petty scoundrel. If you were to dig into his personal history, he would be much worse.
“Let’s go.” Lin Nuo waved his hand, ready to leave.
“Wait, there’s something I don’t understand. In your first game, I clearly saw that the fifth card had a pattern. Why was it the fourth card?”
“What’s there not to understand? The cards can change. They thought I would continue to flip the fourth card and say there was no pattern, then they made it have a pattern.”
“I see.”
Qin Shili suddenly realized, “So you played along and directly said there was a pattern.”
“Yes.”
“You’re quite clever to think that far ahead.”
“There’s nothing to be proud of. If I didn’t have this bit of ability, I, Lin Nuo, wouldn’t be out here.”
The gambling den was in ruins, partially collapsed. The dealers were either dead or had fled, and it could no longer operate.
Lin Nuo and Qin Shili walked out of the gambling den, ready to return. Outside, there was a group of commoners and officials.
They suddenly knelt down, and at the front was a minor official, tears streaming down his face:
“Thank you! Thank you for ridding us of this scourge! This gambling den has harmed too many people, harbored bullies, extorted money from the people, and laundered money for corrupt officials. Everyone has suffered greatly. Finally, finally, you have come to save us. We are very grateful to you!”
