She should have known that this fellow would not be so kind as to lure away the Black Flame Sovereign Snake. He clearly wanted the two races to fight while he took advantage of the situation.
Or rather, from the very start, Xiao Chen did not believe in Qing Cheng's promise and had made up his mind long ago.
Qing Cheng said in a cold voice, "Young Master Xiao, unexpectedly, you are also someone who goes back on your word."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said to Qing Cheng, "Miss Qing Cheng, you know very well who you are keeping these Black and White Soul Reapers to deal with. A straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. There is no need to be so pompous. I, Xiao Chen, have never said that I am a gentleman.
"If I really help you deal with these people, will you let me go? I am not a three-year-old child. Whether it is right or wrong, there is no need to say too much. Right now, I am in control of everything.
"Whether you admit it or not, the Departed Spirit Fruit that can help you advance quickly is now in the hands of me, Xiao Chen."
There were more than a hundred Martial Sages of the two races and countless Demonic Corpses and Yin Soldiers. If they all attacked together, even a Superior Grade Martial Sage would not dare to be too unbridled.
A gentle wind blew, and Xiao Chen's white robes and hair fluttered. As he stood on the puppet snake's head, he looked at the group of experts without any fear. His expression did not change at all.
"Why is he speaking so much nonsense? Attack together and take his life. Does he really think that he is incredible just because he is a descendant of the Qing Emperor?"
Someone roared in rage. The rest of the people chimed in. The Demonic Corpses roared and the Yin Soldiers howled. In that instant, the winds and clouds changed, and a cloud of dust kicked up.
"Who dares to take a step forward?!"
Xiao Chen said calmly, unhurriedly. Electricity surged in his hand as though he was going to destroy the two Departed Spirit Fruits.
"Stop!"
"Don't move!"
Wang Can and Qing Cheng both berated them, stopping their subordinates.
Departed Spirit Flowers were hard to find outside. They only existed in the Underworld River, an underground forbidden land. Even Emperor Wu did not dare to enter that place.
The value of the Departed Spirit Fruit itself was already very high. The value of the fruit was even more immeasurable. Inferior Grade Martial Sage was also the realm that could bring out the best effects of the Departed Spirit Fruit.
If they did not have a certain value, the Corpse Race and Ghost Race would not have brought out their trump cards and started fighting before reaching the Treasury Hall.
Wei Hua, who had been silent all this while, said, "What do you want? Just say it."
Xiao Chen smiled gently and said, "It seems that there are people who understand. Since all of you want this Departed Spirit Fruit, I naturally can't give it to just anyone. You guys can bid for it. Whoever offers the most Astral Coins will get it."
"Of course, Spirit Vein Origins, Sage Grade Secret Treasures, Secret Techniques, and Medicinal Pills can also be added. In short, I want all treasures. I am a very open-minded person."
When the cultivators of the two races heard this, their expressions changed. They wondered if they had heard wrong. This fellow, who was surrounded by more than a hundred Inferior Grade Martial Sages and could die at any moment, actually boasted shamelessly and raised the price.
Wang Can waved his right hand and smiled coldly. "What qualifications do you have to raise the price? Do you really think we are fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered? At worst, I will just give up on this Departed Spirit Fruit."
"You don't want it?"
The corner of Xiao Chen's lips curled up as he tossed out a Departed Spirit Fruit. Then, he flicked his finger, and a strand of purple saber Qi shot out. The saber Qi shattered the Departed Spirit Fruit with a loud 'bang.'
Black Death Qi immediately surged out, forming boundless, thick clouds that spread out in all directions.
The originally formless Death Qi now turned into thick, dark clouds that spread for a kilometer without showing any signs of dissipating. "Ka ca!"
The hearts of the countless Corpse Race and Ghost Race cultivators shattered at the same time as they looked at the shattered Departed Spirit Fruit.
This was a Departed Spirit Fruit, not a rock. It was worth cities and could not be measured. Yet, Xiao Chen destroyed it without batting an eye.
"You … you …"
Wang Can gaped, flabbergasted. He stammered for a long time, unable to say anything.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Brother Wang Can, didn't you say that you don't want it? Why are you so agitated?!"
Screw you! I was just saying it. Just saying it, and you really f * cking destroyed it. Yet, you still ask me why I am so agitated?!
Wang Can could not help cursing in his heart. However, he did not dare to say anything more. He feared that if Xiao Chen was upset, he would destroy the only remaining Departed Spirit Fruit as well.
A murderous intent flashed in Wei Hua's eyes. He lowered his head and sent a voice projection to a certain person. Then, without changing his expression, he stepped forward and said, "I offer one hundred thousand Black Astral Coins and five Rank 3 Spirit Veins. To you, this is a very fair price."
At this moment, Xiao Chen already held the upper hand. Qing Cheng was very reluctant, but she had no choice but to accept this reality. She clenched her teeth and said, "I offer one hundred thousand Black Astral Coins and ten Rank 3 Spirit Veins as well."
"Two hundred thousand Black Astral Coins and fifteen Rank 3 Spirit Veins." Wei Hua did not hesitate to raise the price again, clearly determined to obtain the Departed Spirit Fruit.
When the two arrived earlier, they must have brought the younger generation to search for Departed Spirit Flowers and obtained some Spirit Veins along the way.
Xiao Chen did not say anything. He looked at Qing Cheng, his meaning clear. If you do not raise the price, this Departed Spirit Fruit will be the other party's.
How hateful! Qing Cheng was now gnashing her teeth in hatred, feeling so much regret that her intestines turned green.
Originally, she thought that by working with Xiao Chen, with so many of her clansmen and some trump cards, she would definitely be able to suppress Xiao Chen. After the matter was over, she wanted Xiao Chen to spit out everything with interest. Who could have expected such a situation to occur?
What kind of person did he invite? Everything was fine, but he actually dug such a big hole for him.
However, not raising the price now was out of the question. After putting in so much effort, she had already lost so many people before reaching the Treasury Hall. If she still could not obtain the Departed Spirit Fruit, she would suffer a great loss.
"Two hundred thousand Black Astral Coins, fifteen Rank 3 Spirit Veins, and a Sage Grade Essence Increasing Pill that your human race needs."
Both sides were bidding, neither giving way. Xiao Chen smiled faintly and watched the two sides compete. The more vicious the competition, the better.
"Five hundred thousand Black Astral Coins, twenty Rank 3 Spirit Veins, a Sage Grade inner vest, and a Sage Grade Essence Increasing Pill."
Finally, Wei Hua's heart sank, and he named a price that Qing Cheng could not raise.
At such a price, Qing Cheng's expression changed. After hesitating for a long time, she did not continue bidding. Such a price already surpassed the value of the Departed Spirit Fruit. It was not worth it at all.
Wei Hua was practically using up half of the resources she had. She did not know what Wei Hua was thinking.
When Wei Hua saw that Qing Cheng did not say anything, he smiled and said, "Young Master Xiao, what do you think of this price? Hand over the Departed Spirit Fruit."
"Haha! Naturally, I, Xiao Chen, am very satisfied with such a price. However, I will have to delay the transaction for a while."
The smile on Xiao Chen's face faded. At the end of his words, his expression turned cold. With a flip of his hand, he placed the Departed Spirit Fruit in his Universe Ring. Then, he instantly turned around.
"Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, Deities Descending, tenfold combat prowess!"
A divine light descended from the sky and entered Xiao Chen's body. His aura soared infinitely, and the resplendent light on his fist was as dazzling as the sun.
"Bang!"
When Xiao Chen punched, his fist immediately clashed with Kui Dou's full-power strike. This Kui Dou took advantage of the moment the two sides raised the price to sneak behind Xiao Chen.
When Wei Hua announced the final price, Kui Dou thought that Xiao Chen would relax, so he immediately launched a sneak attack in the time it took for a spark to fly.
However, Kui Dou did not know that with Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense, he could see everything that happened around him in his mind. Not only had Kui Dou noticed Xiao Chen long ago, but he had also sensed the plot between Xiao Chen and Wei Hua and had been waiting for a long time.
A thunderous roar echoed throughout the place, deafening many people for a short period of time.
The instant the two fists clashed, Kui Dou immediately suffered a great loss. For the sake of maintaining the speed of his attack, he could only use sixty percent of his Vital Qi.
However, Xiao Chen had been storing up power and waiting for a long time. Not only did the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist merge his Vital Qi, Mental Energy, and Heavenly Laws, but it also increased his combat prowess tenfold.
Kui Dou vomited a mouthful of blood. "Ka ca! Ka ca!" The bones in his right arm shattered. This arm would definitely be crippled for the time being.
Kui Dou's body flew back like an arrow and smashed into the ground, creating a large pit and kicking up a cloud of dust.
With the tenfold combat prowess gone, Xiao Chen's boundless aura vanished as well. His white robes fluttered. Aside from a special sharpness, there was nothing special about him.
Xiao Chen swung his slightly sore arm without anyone noticing. He felt startled in his heart. A cultivator with a pure physical body was truly horrifying.
Even if Kui Dou only used sixty percent of his strength, it was already frightening enough. If it were another person standing here, that person would definitely be smashed into a meat patty.
However, Kui Dou ran into Xiao Chen, a well-prepared Xiao Chen. Kui Dou could only blame himself for being unlucky.
Xiao Chen pushed off the ground and ignored the shocked people around him. He put away the puppet snake and somersaulted in the air, leaping out of the encirclement of the two races and landing firmly on the ground.
"Come out and trade!" Xiao Chen said calmly.
Wei Hua looked at Kui Dou, who fell into a deep pit and stood up in a sorry state. His lips twitched involuntarily as he silently flew out.
The two faced each other and placed the items they wanted to trade into a spatial ring before their eyes.
Then, they stretched out their hands and pushed. They each controlled their own spatial rings and pushed them towards the other with the speed of an old ox pulling a cart.
The cultivators of the two races stood in a row behind them. They did not hide the killing Qi in their eyes at all, clearly eager to try.
The two spatial rings brushed past each other, and the two sides immediately pulled over the other's spatial rings.
"Kill him!"
Wei Hua said through clenched teeth. He did not even bother looking at the Departed Spirit Fruit in his spatial ring as he retreated at his fastest speed.
The Ghost Race and Corpse Race cultivators did not need Wei Hua to say anything. They were already filled with rage. The instant Wei Hua retreated, attacks rained down on Xiao Chen.
"Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram!"
Xiao Chen, who had been prepared for this long ago, gently pushed off the ground and moved backward. A light flashed in his eyes.
The Purple Thunder True Fire and the Lunar True Flame chased each other, forming a magnificent flame diagram. The eight trigrams, four divisions, and Yinyang condensed into a world of its own, blocking all the attacks.
"Boom!" In just an instant, the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram turned into a golden light and disappeared. However, this short moment was enough for Xiao Chen to do many things.
