The Golden Gordon, who can establish a casino in the City of Sin, Luo Di knew from the start that this person was extraordinary.

However, this croupier had not yet reached the heights of figures like Mr. Question Mark or Jia Wen, nor evolved like Hunter... but, like Luo Di, was in the mature stage, and it seemed he had only recently matured.

Winning against Gordon, acquiring the Golden Power, and controlling the entire casino must have some outer realm backing.

Luo Di's brain was rapidly analyzing the situation:

"This person is unlike any monster I have fought against, and currently, I can't see the specific influence of the Outer Realm on him, nor does he seem like a comic holder.

There should be another kind of thing behind him, most likely the one who caused Mr. Question Mark's disappearance.

I need more observation before he reveals his true trump card.

There are currently two visible abilities.

[Gold], this person possesses all the gold in the casino, not to mention how much the former owner, Gordon, accumulated.

Just since he took over, the entire casino has been cheating, undoubtedly making a fortune, and the total amount of gold is exaggerated. I estimate that even cutting off his arm a hundred times wouldn't shake a corner of the golden mountain.

[Dice], the strange sound of the dice is most likely amplified by the Outer Realm.

Currently, two uses are known,

1. The dice throw can reset him back to normal, rendering beheading or Frank's internal parasite useless.

2. A seemingly ordinary punch became enormously powerful due to the dice's influence, presumably amplified by throwing a higher number.

The regeneration of gold combined with the undying nature of dice,

along with the unpredictable dice amplification,

this doesn't seem like a fight, but a special gamble.

Being in this Golden Casino, he has all the advantages to cheat infinitely, while I, as an outsider, have only one way to win."

Luo Di made up his mind, or rather he had already decided the moment he chose to gamble on his opponent's home ground.

He was well aware that this gamble was crucial, not only for escaping but potentially touching on some key intelligence about the Outer Realm.

Given this, he decided to hold nothing back.

Luo Di's right hand reached back to his neck, where the embedded black spine sensed his touch and automatically sprang out a segment, just enough to be grasped by his hand.

"Megin..."

"At your service, Master."

Crackling sounds as the spine was pulled away from the flesh.

A slightly curved black spine was already in his hand, its end dripping with a slick liquid tinged with blood.

Upon seeing the spine, Xiao Xun immediately halted his attacking stance, filled with confusion.

Based on his knowledge of Luo Di, especially after a series of investigations following the Death Grand Challenge, he had never encountered any information regarding this black spine.

This spine was likely acquired recently, and it bore no traits related to any corner, belonging to something from another world.

The dice rattled.

On either side of his eyes, four pupils appeared on one side, six pupils on the other.

"Gleaned Insight"

In an instant, Xiao Xun's vision was greatly enhanced, comparable to some creatures naturally linked to eyes, even sharper in detail observation.

The scene before his eyes left him shocked.

What Luo Di held was not a spine but a Demon Girl.

A girl with severed arms, a body cut off at the waist, dark skin, disheveled hair, and long horns on her forehead.

What Luo Di held was a segment of black spine growing from the girl's ruptured waist and abdomen.

When Xiao Xun saw the girl, she was also staring at him.

This gaze was unlike anything Xiao Xun had experienced,

it was not a mere killing stare, but a condescending scrutiny, like being observed individually by a general amid endless battlefields.

Xiao Xun seemed to see countless corpses scattered around, as if he were already on the battlefield.

"War?"

This brand-new experience made the coins inside him tremble, collide, and excite.

He was young, he loved embracing new things, most importantly, he gained more understanding of Mr. Di, and had to jot it down in his notebook.

And just as he was exhilarated,

a tail heavily slammed the ground, the Moon Pit crawling across his back like a skin condition.

All sensory organs degenerated, leaving only a mouth actively moving its tongue inside.

[Deep Spine Opening - Old Moon]

Yet another stance Xiao Xun had never seen,

This inhuman form appeared incredibly beautiful to him, irresistibly attracting him, momentarily forgetting the huge danger approaching.

A "background actor" label was already stuck on him, severely weakening his capabilities, causing all kinds of accidents while being chased and killed by the Hell Murderer.

More prone to severe bleeding,

easier to be slaughtered,

all plot directions leaned toward his death.

Luo Di no longer adhered to the slow steps, in his "Open Spine" state, did not follow the conventional murderer routine.

Sudden speed boost,

Utilizing the running stance learned from his Squad Leader, supported by the spine, achieving an instantaneous start beyond visual recognition, akin to "teleportation".

Buzz!

Perfect body streamlining, minimizing air resistance.

Due to extreme speed, it emitted a brief low bass boom.

Instant proximity,

horizontal beheading,

striking toward the opponent's eyes, Luo Di had already noticed that the opponent's eyes should be the concretization of the dice.

Perhaps too captivated by Luo Di's new stance, Xiao Xun couldn't react this time.

Swish!

A streak of black light,

head split in two,

Xiao Xun's eyes were perfectly cut open, showing no sign of movement.

But... Luo Di still heard the sound of dice rattling,

Crisp, lively, as if Luo Di were standing right at a gambling table.

The previous strike felt like placing a bet, the croupier shook the dice cup.

Naturally, the result was Luo Di lost,

his beheading "did not take effect."

Even the background actor label on Xiao Xun disappeared, returning him to normal.

Xiao Xun carefully savored the sensation of having just been beheaded, his whole body tingling,

"The [knife] formed by the black spine, what a strong sense of oppression! If this were a fair gamble, I would have been chopped a million times... but unfortunately, this is not the battlefield, it's my casino."

In the blink of an eye, the heatwave had already arrived.

"I need to buy some 'attributes', otherwise I can't keep up at all... I don't know to what extent my body can withstand it now."

The sound of metal clashing rings out,

After payment, Xiao Xun's vest was directly ripped by the castle, and the sleeves of his shirt also tore open, and what swelled out was not only muscle, but also some blood vessels that burst from exceeding their limit.

But what flowed out wasn't blood, but gold...

A punch against a knife.

Clack! Yet Xiao Xun suddenly heard a clicking tongue sound.

The fist that seemed about to hit only scattered the shadow.

Luo Di had long foreseen the path of his fist,

jumped and leaped into the air,

A knife fell!

Clang!

The black blade struck the ground, tearing through layers of floor.

Xiao Xun's body was sliced in two, but he rang the throw! He instantly refreshed his body, right behind Luo Di.

Seizing the moment before his opponent could retrieve his knife and turn around,

a punch was thrown!

Clack~ Again a clicking tongue sound.

The golden fist was caught by a mechanical arm, the strength is evenly matched... but Luo Di has two hands and faster speed, his beheading even more resolute!

In the next second,

Xiao Xun was beheaded again.

Even though he used gold to purchase attribute enhancements, he was still suppressed by Luo Di.

However,

every time the dice took effect, making the beheading ineffective.

Luo Di attacked without any plan, relying on the extreme physique brought by open spine, constantly pressing, constantly killing this croupier.

Ten times,

Twenty times,

Thirty times,

Fifty times...

Luo Di seemed to never intend to understand the essence of the dice, merely beheading relentlessly, as if as long as he kills enough, the opponent would die.

Yet, the burden of deep spine opening on the body is tremendous.

The consecutive high-intensity beheadings and attacks, occasionally needing to block the "jackpot" punch, his spine began to falter, and his body's speed slowed.

His whole speed slowed down, and he showed a momentary weakness.

An instant opportunity was seized by Xiao Xun,

the golden fist almost filling his field of vision, drawing near.

Even if Luo Di foresaw the danger, his body couldn't dodge in time.

Boom!

The airwave spread,

Luo Di took a solid punch, slammed heavily into the edge of the octagonal cage, even denting the cage itself,

his body left a huge fist imprint, the internal organs shattered completely.

Xiao Xun was also puzzled, taking advantage of the gap to actively inquire:

"Mr. Di... you're not in a good state today? In the True Death Game, you weren't this reckless.

Knowing full well your beheading is ineffective, why not consider my [weakness] but continue the ineffective offense?

At this rate, you'll undoubtedly lose."

The words had hardly fallen,

black had arrived,

a black machete spun and flew into Xiao Xun's body, beheading him again.

Luo Di forcibly coughed up the shattered viscera from within, grew a whole new structure, and began acting before fully recovering. He seemed in a hurry, eager to kill the opponent.

He reached out to recall the thrown black spine, eyes still locked on the freshly revived Xiao Xun.

Continuing the attack,

giving no breathing space,

Xiao Xun was bewildered but intimidated by such momentum, could only hastily defend himself.

Soon, another opportunity came!

Luo Di's body indeed couldn't take it, his body full of flaws!

The incoming knife became unstable, Xiao Xun decisively swung a punch to meet it head-on!

The blade only chopped off an arm, not hitting Xiao Xun's body.

Gold payment!

Xiao Xun intended to immediately purchase a new arm, continue the punch just swung, this time he must knock Luo Di down for good.

Though somewhat regrettable, if Luo Di only had this level of strength, it wouldn't be worth his admiration.

However,

the expected direct hit didn't occur.

The severed right arm didn't regenerate.

The gold payment was ineffective...

"What!?"

Xiao Xun was shocked,

while checking his body, received a prompt "card balance insufficient, please recharge in time."

"Impossible! The casino's gold is enough for me to construct a billion arms, how could it run out!?"

It was then that Xiao Xun realized a problem, suddenly shifting his attention to outside the arena.

Inside the casino,

Pumpkin Fran had just completed the final bet at the large poker table!

While the two were fully concentrated on the arena brawl, Fran had already won the entire casino's funds into his hands.

And just as Xiao Xun was in a daze,

two black metal fingers pierced his face, gripping the pituitary inside...
