Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1220 593: All Stars Surrounding the Moon_4

Li Banfeng was taken aback; this Ding Skill was used with frightening force, even more ruthless than the "final verdict" Li Banfeng had imagined before.

With this verdict thrown down, Dou Jiyan had been defined as an outsider.

This Taoist Sect really was worth studying.

The more Dou Jiyan spoke, the more worked up she got. Behind her, Jin Jinliang kept trying to talk her down: "Miss Dou, stop arguing."

It was obvious that if she kept butting heads with Ding Liusan, Dou Jiyan would get nothing out of it, and she herself realized that: "Senior brother, there's no need to say more. Take out the fighting cock, let's hurry up and finish the third round and settle who wins and who loses."

Ding Liusan shook his head slightly: "Junior sister, if I use a fighting cock against that barnyard hen of yours, it'd count as bullying you. I bought a fat chicken at the market; I'd originally planned that once we finished these three rounds today, I'd eat and drink with you.

But seeing the Thousand Tael House turned into this, I've no mood to drink with you. Today I'll use this fat chicken to send that sickly chicken of yours on its way."

Dou Jiyan was so angry she gnashed her teeth. In Li Banfeng's impression, this woman had always been very free and easy, yet now in front of this Taste Cultivator, she'd become somewhat irrational.

Li Banfeng actually wanted to see just how powerful Ding Liusan's cultivation skill really was. According to the verdict he'd laid down, could this barnyard hen he'd bought at the market really beat Dou Jiyan's fighting cock?

Everyone craned their necks to watch, all wanting to see how a barnyard hen would fight a fighting cock.

Only Dou Jiyan knew full well that what Ding Liusan had brought up was no barnyard hen.

This chicken looked very plump, dull and stupid, looking like a barnyard hen, but in truth it was a very robust fighting cock.

Before the battle started, Ding Liusan raised the stakes again: "Junior sister, I'm staking my reputation for this lifetime on this round. If I lose, I will never set foot in the Thousand Tael House again!"

Gamble Cultivation Technique, going all in from the start!

As soon as he said this, the feathers on Ding Liusan's "barnyard hen" all stood up, and its combat power jumped by a large margin.

If Dou Jiyan didn't follow and raise her stake, her momentum and luck would be suppressed by Ding Liusan, and this cockfight really might be unwinnable: "Senior brother, I'll match your stake. If I lose, I'll move out of the Thousand Tael House within a day and never step foot in it again from this day forward."

The two sides fixed their terms and started the fight on the spot. Li Banfeng felt that using a cockfight to decide something this big was a bit too much of a farce. If they were actually competing in gambling skill, that would be one thing—but how much technical content was there in cockfighting?

Dou Jiyan's fighting cock took a step forward, suddenly slipped under its feet, and stumbled badly.

Ding Liusan's "barnyard hen" rushed over and pecked out the fighting cock's eye in one bite.

Dou Jiyan's fighting cock was still staggering and hadn't yet regained its footing when the barnyard hen leapt up, brought one claw down, and directly crushed the fighting cock's head.

Chicken blood splattered across Dou Jiyan's face.

The speed of this "barnyard hen" even surprised Li Banfeng; even a low-level Cultivator might not be able to beat this "barnyard hen."

Ding Liusan had prepared quite thoroughly for this cockfight. In fact, Dou Jiyan had prepared just as thoroughly; her fighting cock was no worse than Ding Liusan's.

But the instant the fight started, the fighting cock slipped and fell—that was something Dou Jiyan had never imagined.

Losing this round of gambling like this was even more something she had never imagined.

Li Banfeng looked over at Dou Jiyan.

Dou Jiyan was still standing there in a daze, somewhat at a loss.

Li Banfeng faintly heard someone cheering.

Perhaps Dou Jiyan's fighting cock really was superior to Ding Liusan's.

But just before going onto the battlefield, this fighting cock suddenly slipped—what were the odds of such an accident happening to a well-trained fighting cock that could even be used as an assassin?

The probability of this happening depended on how many Gambling Cultivators had just now used the All Stars Surrounding the Moon Technique.

Li Banfeng looked at the Gambling Cultivators present, watching them hold back their laughter.

Some didn't even bother to hold back and laughed out loud.

And the "moon" they intended to surround today was clearly not Dou Jiyan. In their eyes, Dou Jiyan had already become an outsider.

Ding Liusan had used a chain of cultivation skills to win people's hearts for himself.

Dou Jiyan shook her head and looked at Ding Liusan: "Senior brother, let's keep gambling."

Ding Liusan sighed: "Junior sister, you've already lost everything. What do you have left to gamble?"

"No, I haven't lost everything. Just now doesn't count—my chicken just now hadn't found its footing. I'll switch to another and go again, switch to another…"

"This time I can't indulge you anymore." Ding Liusan stood up and straightened his suit. "Dou Jiyan, I'm giving you one day. Leave the Thousand Tael House immediately and never come back.

The rules you established in the Thousand Tael House will no longer count from now on. Anyone willing to go with you, I won't force them to stay; within one day, they can leave with you."

Dou Jiyan shook her head and said, "I'm not leaving. I can't leave."

Ding Liusan's face darkened: "Accepting victory or defeat is our basic duty as people of the Taoist Sect. If you won't even keep to this basic duty, then the bond of fellow disciples between us is gone. If you insist on staying, I'll have to use another way to send you on your way."

Dou Jiyan still refused to leave and was persuaded by Jin Jinliang: "Miss Dou, we really did lose the bet. Let's hurry and go. If we don't leave now, there won't be time."

Ding Liusan looked at Jin Jinliang and said, "Scum of the Taoist Sect, I might spare others, but I'll never spare a traitor like you!"

As he spoke, Ding Liusan was about to make a move on Jin Jinliang. Dou Jiyan hurriedly stepped in front of Jin Jinliang to shield him: "Senior brother, this has nothing to do with him."

Ding Liusan turned his face toward Dou Jiyan, about to strike.

Li Banfeng suddenly stepped between the two sides and called out, "Everyone, the gamble is already over."

Ding Liusan looked at Li Banfeng and said, "Seventh Master, since you're here as witness, please say a fair word."

Li Banfeng's cultivation level was no lower than Ding Liusan's; in a one-on-one fight, Li Banfeng had a very high chance of winning.
