Li Tai said proudly.
It was clear that he had great confidence in this Skyhorned Ox.
Qin Xuan smiled and nodded.
"Perfect, since we've both chosen the Spirit Beasts we want, let's begin."
Qin Xuan said, placing the Spirit Stones in front of him.
Seeing so many Spirit Stones, everyone present gasped.
A full one million Spirit Stones; if all these Spirit Stones were lost, it would be a significant loss for many of the large Families in the city.
"Then let's begin!"
Li Tai said proudly, and then the battle in the arena began.
At this moment, everyone present turned their gaze to the arena.
Even the Shindao Sect Saintess stared at the arena, watching the match with great interest.
One million Low-Grade Spirit Stones meant nothing to them, of course.
But this kind of gambling match was quite interesting.
"Roar!"
The Skyhorned Beast roared and pounced towards the Demonic Spider.
The Demonic Spider was not to be outdone, and also pounced, engaging in a fierce battle with the Demonic Spider.
Soon, everyone discovered that although the Demonic Spider's attacks were fierce, its every attack failed to pierce the Skyhorned Ox's defense; all its attacks were blocked by the defense.
Repeated failed attacks caused the Demonic Spider to become increasingly agitated, and at this point, it was frantically attacking the Skyhorned Ox.
The Skyhorned Ox, however, merely curled into a ball, remaining motionless.
As the Demonic Spider attacked frantically, the Skyhorned Ox simply defended without moving.
"I can't believe this Skyhorned Ox's defense is so terrifying, even the Demonic Spider can't tear through it."
"Indeed, this is far too unexpected. Even I didn't imagine that this Skyhorned Ox's combat power would be so formidable!"
Several people nearby said.
They had initially favored the Demonic Spider, but to their surprise, judging from the current situation, the Skyhorned Ox, with its thick defense, clearly had the upper hand.
"This fellow is really interesting. Does he want to win by defending?"
In the stands, Yuan Hao looked down with great interest, seeing that the Demonic Spider couldn't pierce the Skyhorned Ox's defense, and he smiled triumphantly.
Hmph, what are the Qin Family people so proud of? This is just the beginning. Next, I'll show you a good time.
Yuan Hao mused, then his fingertip traced across his qiankun ring.
A small blue porcelain bottle appeared in his hand, and while everyone's attention was focused on the battle in the arena, he quietly poured a drop of liquid from the bottle into the wine pot in front of him.
He subtly beckoned, and a maid walked over from the side.
"Later, send the wine in this pot to Young Master Qin's side."
After giving the order, Yuan Hao turned his head and looked coldly at Qin Xuan.
Now, I'd like to see how you'll survive!
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the beast-fighting arena, and no one noticed this side at all.
Qin Xuan was also staring at the battle in the arena at this time.
Although he didn't care about a hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones now.
However, he didn't want to just give the Spirit Stones to these people so easily.
These people were already reckless; if they got more Spirit Stones, who knew what would happen!
Qin Xuan had to suppress them from beginning to end.
"Crack!"
After repeated failed attacks, the Demonic Spider became increasingly furious and irritable, and soon its attack speed on the Skyhorned Ox began to accelerate.
And as it continuously accelerated its attacks, its leg actually broke!
Seeing this scene, everyone present shook their heads.
"Hiss!"
Everyone present gasped, they had never imagined that this Demonic Spider would fall to such a state.
"Roar!"
And just as the Demonic Spider faltered, a cold smile immediately appeared on Li Tai's lips.
He had been waiting for this opportunity.
"Go!"
With a slight movement of his lips, under Li Tai's control, the Skyhorned Ox instantly raised its head, and its sharp horns directly pierced the Demonic Spider's abdomen.
At this point, the situation seemed to be settled.
However, strangely, although the surrounding crowd discussed various possibilities and felt that the Skyhorned Ox had the upper hand, no one dared to say that the Skyhorned Ox had a guaranteed victory.
After all, by this point, everyone understood that without absolute certainty, there was still a chance to turn the tables before the situation was completely decided.
"This time, let's see how you'll turn the tables!"
Li Tai muttered softly to the side.
This was the reason for choosing this Skyhorned Ox.
The Skyhorned Ox's defense was truly astonishing; even the Demonic Spider's frantic attacks in its rage wouldn't harm it.
For the Skyhorned Ox, while the Demonic Spider's attacks were fierce, they were not enough to break through its defense.
Since its defense could not be breached, the outcome was naturally decided from the very beginning.
Nothing else, by relying on its solid defense, the Skyhorned Ox was already invincible!
Looking at Li Tai's triumphant face, Qin Xuan smiled, a hint of coldness on his lips.
"Is that so? Are you that confident?"
After a while, he raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the Skyhorned Ox in front.
"Roar!"
Under everyone's gaze, this Skyhorned Ox suddenly let out a high-pitched roar, then looked around, suddenly accelerated, and charged towards the wall of the beast-fighting arena.
"Idiot, come back!"
At this moment, Li Tai hurriedly roared, wanting his Skyhorned Ox to return and continue killing the Demonic Spider.
But the Skyhorned Ox simply charged recklessly towards the metal wall of the beast-fighting arena.
To ensure the absolute safety of the spectators, the walls of the beast-fighting arena were made of profound iron, and their defense was terrifyingly high.
The Skyhorned Ox charged over and directly crashed into the wall.
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, a moment later, the Skyhorned Ox's horns broke, and its entire head slammed into the wall, sending red and white brain matter flying out.
Although the Skyhorned Ox's limbs were still twitching, anyone with eyes could see that this Skyhorned Ox was doomed to die.
"Bastard!"
Li Tai stood up in a rage.
He never expected things to turn out this way!
The Skyhorned Ox, on which he had placed high hopes, had actually committed suicide by crashing into a wall!
Who could he even complain to about this!
"You..."
Li Tai turned around furiously, looking at Qin Xuan, who was sitting as steady as a mountain. He angrily pointed at Qin Xuan, wishing he could rush up and punch Qin Xuan hard.
In his opinion, Qin Xuan was behind this whole thing, no matter how he looked at it.
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow and sneered.
"It seems the Spirit Beast you chose isn't that great, it actually committed suicide. What a pity."
Listening to Qin Xuan's words, Li Tai clenched his fists tightly, but in the end, he endured it.
"This doesn't count, the Skyhorned Ox committed suicide..."
Before he could finish, Qin Xuan sneered.
"What nonsense. It doesn't count if it committed suicide? Our wager was clearly stated: whoever's Spirit Beast wins, wins. It's clear your Spirit Beast couldn't withstand the Demonic Spider's threat."
"It tried to rush out of here to save its life, so why wouldn't it count?"
Hearing this, Li Tai wished he could immediately raise his hand and slap Qin Xuan dead on the ground.
That was a full one million Low-Grade Spirit Stones!
Given the financial resources of their Li Family, this loss was too great.
"No, we must have another match, this one doesn't count!"
Li Tai desperately argued, not wanting to give Qin Xuan the money.
"Nephew, a wager is a wager. What's there to say?"
Just then, Yuan Hao from the other side spoke indifferently.
Qin Xuan couldn't help but be surprised.
He had thought Yuan Hao would also jump out and argue with him.
He didn't expect Yuan Hao to support Qin Xuan, which somewhat surprised him.
Seeing that Yuan Hao had spoken, Li Tai, no matter how dissatisfied, could only retreat begrudgingly.
"I never expected Young Master Qin Xuan to not only possess powerful combat ability but also keen insight, always choosing Spirit Beasts that can turn the tide in the end."
Yuan Hao said subtly, then waved his hand, and several maids came forward with wine cups.
"To Young Master Qin!"
Yuan Hao raised his cup to Qin Xuan from afar.
Qin Xuan slowly raised his wine cup, his gaze slightly narrowing.
At this moment, the Refining God Cauldron was constantly reminding him.
This wine might have a problem.
Qin Xuan's brows immediately furrowed.
This old fellow, he's truly insidious.
Glancing briefly at Yuan Hao in the distance, a hint of killing intent flashed in Qin Xuan's eyes.
To put poison in the wine, aren't they afraid of being killed by the Shindao Sect people?
Immediately, he began to carefully discern the contents of the wine.
A moment later, Qin Xuan snorted coldly.
This wine had an aphrodisiac poison added to it.
This poison was colorless and odorless, secreted by the crested snake.
These snakes have a month-long mating season each year, during which both female and male snakes secrete a liquid.
This liquid has an extremely faint scent, undetectable unless one deliberately tries to smell it.
After consuming the liquid secreted by the male snake, one would lose all reason upon smelling the female snake's scent and would frantically pursue the female snake.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan looked up at Xiao Ruyan.
If he wasn't mistaken, the Shindao Sect Saintess's wine cup had also been poisoned, but with the female snake's secretion.
This Saintess was currently drinking fruit wine, which perfectly masked the scent.
Once Qin Xuan drank this wine, he would likely lose all reason towards this Shindao Sect Saintess.
