In the main hall, the evil demon heart cores floated in front of Li Fangming.
Ten!
Twenty!
Thirty!
Forty!
Fifty!
When Li Fangming took out fifty evil demon heart cores, he stopped and stared at Chen Zong with a faint smile on his face.
Chen Zong's expression did not change, and he could not see any abnormalities.
Li Fangming continued to take out more evil demon heart cores.
Sixty!
Some of the supreme sky-prides were astonished.
Seventy!
Many supreme sky-prides' expressions changed. This meant that Li Fangming had killed seventy evil demons. This was a shocking number.
However, this was not the end. Li Fangming continued to stare at Chen Zong. His eyes were extremely cold and there was a hint of a smile in the depths of his eyes.
Seventy-one!
Seventy-two!
He wanted to see a trace of panic on Chen Zong's face. However, he was disappointed. Chen Zong's expression did not change at all.
Seventy-three!
Seventy-four!
…
Eighty!
Li Fangming stared at Chen Zong. However, Chen Zong's expression did not change at all.
Eighty-one!
Eighty-two!
Eighty-three!
Li Fangming stopped and sneered. "Chen Zong, you don't have to pretend to be calm. Even if you do, I won't laugh at you."
He had obtained eighty-three evil demon heart cores. This number was definitely not small. Looking at the expressions of the people around him, he knew that many of them had obtained fewer evil demon heart cores than him.
The number of evil demon heart cores Chen Zong had obtained would definitely not be as many as his.
"Eighty-three pills. That's all you've gained?" Chen Zong asked unhurriedly.
Li Fangming was a little bewildered by his calm and composed demeanor.
"If that's the case, I only need to take out eighty-four evil demon heart cores," Chen Zong said with a faint smile.
He was not as pretentious as Li Fangming. With a wave of his hand, eighty-four evil demon heart cores appeared and floated in front of him.
All of the evil demon heart cores were at the soldier level. There was only one more than Li Fangming's.
But as long as there were more, they would win.
"Do you think you've won?" Li Fangming's expression changed. Soon after, he took out another Evil Demon Heart Core. The fluctuations coming from this Evil Demon Heart Core were completely different from the eighty-three Evil Demon Heart Cores from before. In fact, they were even more powerful.
It was the core of an Elite Void Demon.
Immediately, everyone was shocked.
Only Elite Rank Void Demons would have an Elite Rank Void Demon core. In other words, Li Fangming had killed an Elite Rank Void Demon core.
Regardless of whether he relied on his own strength or his life-saving trump card to kill the Elite Rank Void Devil, it was still shocking.
An Elite Demon Core was equivalent to ten thousand Xuanyuan merit points. In this case, Li Fangming had the upper hand with eighty-four Demon Cores.
Victory!
Li Fangming stared at Chen Zong with a complacent expression. Then, he waved his hand, intending to collect the eighty-four 'Evil Demon Heart Cores' in front of Chen Zong.
This was the bet.
Eighty-four Evil Demon Heart Cores, that was worth eighty-four thousand Xuanyuan merit points, almost doubling his own.
"You're too impatient." Chen Zong blocked Li Fangming's attack with a wave of his hand. However, Li Fangming's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling about this.
Chen Zong took out another 'Evil Demon Heart Core'. The aura coming from it made Li Fangming's expression change drastically. Then, he thought of the serious consequences and his face turned pale.
An Elite Rank Evil Demon Heart Core!
Chen Zong also had an Elite Rank Evil Demon Heart Core.
Unbelievable!
Unbelievable!
In this case, he was at a complete disadvantage.
The other sky-prides were even more shocked.
Chen Zong made his move. With a sweep of his energy, he was about to take the 'Evil Demon Heart Core' in front of Li Fangming. However, Li Fangming reacted quickly and blocked it.
"Don't tell me you don't want to admit defeat?" Chen Zong asked with a faint smile.
Instantly, all eyes fell on Li Fangming's face.
Those gazes caused Li Fangming to feel a burning sensation. It was as if they were mocking him, as if they were mocking him.
As a sky-pride with an extraordinary background, he was proud and arrogant. How could he let others look at him with such gazes?
Li Fangming's expression kept changing, alternating between green and white. His eyes were faintly red, as if they were filled with blood vessels. He was like a gambler who had lost everything but was extremely unwilling to accept it. He was like a ferocious beast that had fallen into a predicament.
He stared at Chen Zong as if he wanted to tear Chen Zong apart with his gaze.
He was willing to admit defeat!
He was willing to admit defeat!
If he was unwilling to admit defeat, the news would definitely spread. By then, he would be so humiliated that even his family would not let him off.
After all, the Li clan was a large clan with a long history and had been passed down for countless years. They attached great importance to their reputation and would not do anything that would damage their reputation. Even if they did, they had to do it secretly and not let others know. Otherwise, it would be used to expand and cause even greater losses.
If it was just him and Chen Zong, he could refuse to admit defeat. After all, even if Chen Zong spread the news, he could deny it. There was no evidence.
However, there were many people present. There were more than a hundred of them. Every one of them was a sky-pride from the Xuanyuan Palace, the Onyx Palace, and the Wuchen Palace. He could not change their minds or interfere.
Admit defeat!
This time, he could only admit defeat. Otherwise, he would not be the only one who would lose face. The Li clan would also lose face.
However, if he admitted defeat this time, he would remember it. If he had the chance in the future, he would take revenge. He would take revenge viciously and make the other party suffer a fate worse than death.
Thinking of this, Li Fangming retracted his power. However, his eyes were still fixed on Chen Zong.
"Chen Zong, don't go too far. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences of offending the Li clan." Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ears. It was a little cold and threatening. It was the peerless sky-pride of the Li clan, Li Han. His eyes were as sharp as knives. It was as if he wanted to pierce through Chen Zong and tear him apart.
Li Han sent a telepathic message to Chen Zong. The meaning behind his words was that he wanted Chen Zong to take the initiative to cancel this bet. However, he did not mention what kind of price he would have to pay. He was completely asking Chen Zong to withdraw himself. He was completely relying on the Li clan to bully him.
Chen Zong did not even look at Li Han. With a wave of his hand, he immediately stored all of Li Fangming's evil demon cores into his storage ring.
Li Fangming's expression was cold. His face was twisted like a ghost. The murderous intent in his heart surged to the extreme. He locked his gaze on Chen Zong. It was as if he was about to explode and kill Chen Zong.
Li Han's eyes were also extremely cold as he stared at Chen Zong. His eyes were like peerless swords that pierced through the air, wanting to kill Chen Zong.
Chen Zong felt a chill run down his spine. However, he did not care.
Li Fangming was no match for him. Although Li Han had defeated him at the Xuanyuan Sacred Assembly, he might not be stronger than him now.
As for the Li clan, if they targeted him just because of this, it could only be said that the Li clan was too narrow-minded.
If it was a narrow-minded clan, they would not know when or how they had offended the other party. Therefore, it did not matter this time.
"Remember, if you see me in the future, you must avoid me." Chen Zong said to Li Fangming. Li Fangming gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Not only did he lose more than ninety thousand Xuanyuan merit points, but he also had to avoid him in the future. Humiliation, a huge humiliation.
"Trash!" Li Han could not help but glare at Li Fangming and scold him in his heart.
Although Li Fangming was older than him and could be considered his elder brother, in Li Han's eyes, he could not do anything right. If he was not trash, then what was he?
After some time, no one else came.
Of the two hundred peerless sky-prides, only one hundred and seventy returned. What about the other thirty?
Were they not back yet?
Or could they not make it back in time?
No matter what, it was a good thing that they could come back alive.
One by one, they passed through the Void Passage and returned to the Xuanyuan Dynasty's territory.
Seeing that only one hundred and seventy people returned, although the Mountain Guarding King and the others were mentally prepared, they could not help but feel sad.
Thirty!
It did not sound like a lot, but one should know that they were not ordinary people, nor were they ordinary cultivators. They were peerless sky-prides.
Each of them was a peerless sky-pride who could become a Saint Rudiment Realm expert. They could even cultivate to a decent level in the Saint Rudiment Realm and become the main force against the Void Demons or the Dark Forces.
However, there was no other way. They had already expected to sacrifice themselves.
Of the thirty people who did not return, twelve were disciples of the Xuanyuan Palace, ten were disciples of the Black Absolute Palace, and eight were disciples of the Dustless Palace.
"Mountain Guarding King, farewell." The two powerhouses of the Black Absolute Palace and the Dustless Palace forced a smile and said to the Mountain Guarding King of the Xuanyuan Palace. Then, they left with their respective peerless sky-prides.
The loss this time was not small, so they were not in the mood to do anything else.
"Let's go," the Mountain Guarding King said to the group of peerless sky-prides of the Xuanyuan Palace.
There were originally one hundred people, but now only eighty-eight people returned to the Xuanyuan Palace.
Those who could not return were already dead. Those who were alive had to work harder.
Next, they took out their Heart Cores to exchange for Xuanyuan merit points.
After obtaining Li Fangming's Heart Core, the number of Heart Cores Chen Zong had directly exceeded two hundred.
When he took it out, it immediately shocked everyone.
"Even if he didn't win the eighty-four Heart Cores, he still got more than one hundred for himself." Thinking of this, many people gasped.
It was too shocking.
The Mountain Guarding King was also very surprised.
It was unbelievable that one person could get more than two hundred Heart Cores, because the second most people only had a little more than one hundred.
Moreover, it could be seen that among the two hundred Heart Cores, there were a small number of Elite Soldier Heart Cores. There were as many as five in total.
The Mountain Guarding King could not help but take a few more glances at Chen Zong.
Soon after, he swept his gaze over the two hundred plus Evil Demon Cores and was slightly stunned. A strand of bright light shot out from his eyes as he stared at one of them. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it, causing it to fall into his hand.
The color of this Heart Core was different from the other Heart Cores. Its appearance looked more regular and extraordinary, just like a comparison between an ordinary stone and a finely carved stone.
"Is this …" The light in the Mountain Guarding King's eyes became more intense. Then, he stared at Chen Zong and asked in a deep voice, "Did you kill the Demon of the Void and get this Heart Core?"
"Yes," Chen Zong admitted.
"Tell me what's so special about the Demon of the Void?" The Mountain Guarding King asked again.
