Chapter 1048

The charred corpse on the ground moved. Even if it was just a tiny movement of a finger, it was enough to attract everyone's attention. The confident Huo Di's face suddenly drained of all color. His pale face was filled with shock and disbelief.

How could he be alive?

Why wasn't he dead?

Zi Chen was indeed alive. After the charred corpse twitched a little, it began to move more frequently.

The first thing everyone saw was the charred arm slowly supporting itself against the ground. Then, with some strength, the charred corpse began to stand up.

"He's not dead. He's really not dead."

"Heavens, this is unbelievable. The horns on his head are gone, but he's still alive."

Everyone found it unbelievable as they cried out.

The demonic horns on Zi Chen's head were gone. In fact, he had already revealed his human form, but because of his charred skin, he wasn't completely exposed.

These spirit bodies didn't know much about demons, nor did they know the importance of the demonic horns to them. However, Princess knew. At that moment, her mouth was slightly agape and her face was filled with shock. Clearly, this was the first time she had seen a demon who had lost his demonic horns and was still alive.

What was even stranger was that there was no blood on his head or body despite his demonic horns being blown away.

There was only a mouthful of red blood that had evaporated at some point in time.

After Zi Chen got up, he didn't say a word. Instead, he circulated his Perfect Power over and over again and began to heal his body. Since he couldn't show his full strength in front of everyone, he was naturally injured. Furthermore, his injuries were very serious, almost life-threatening.

Thankfully, the Perfect Body was extraordinary. As long as he still had a breath, he could preserve his life and allow Zi Chen to recover at the fastest speed possible.

The second mouthful of blood was deliberately spat out by Zi Chen after he had completely extracted the power of the golden blood. However, just one mouthful took quite a bit of time and effort. Therefore, he didn't have the time to deliberately vomit blood, so he decided not to vomit it.

Everyone was completely shocked, so they clearly didn't care about such a small detail.

Zi Chen's injuries were rapidly recovering under the Perfect Body. At the same time, he looked up at Huo Di. Zi Chen's body was black, but his eyes were bright. He said to Huo Di, "I won."

Everyone naturally followed Zi Chen's line of sight and saw Huo Di, whose expression was rather ugly.

Everyone had different thoughts in their hearts. However, the gloating in their eyes was the same. Losing a Spirit Weapon was something that no one could accept.

"Huo Di, you've lost. You're not going to go back on your word, are you?" The princess suddenly spoke up.

Huo Di snorted and said, "I, Huo Di, am not a sore loser. I admit that I lost, but I don't admit that he won."

"What do you mean?"

"This is a bet between both parties. He just explained the rules, so it's my turn now. Again, we'll have three strikes. If he can kill me, I'll give him two soul armaments. If he can't, then we'll forget about it."

The princess' expression turned ugly. She scolded, "You're being shameless. This is the second time we've made a bet."

"When we were gambling, I didn't say that we would only gamble once," Fire Emperor said.

Although the others didn't like Huo Di's behavior, they could understand. After all, it was a Spirit Weapon. No one would be willing to give it away for free. Therefore, they all remained silent.

Zi Chen's injuries were almost healed. He suddenly asked, "You have two soul armaments on you."

"One for the trade, and one for myself. Why? Are you willing to gamble with me?"

Huo Di looked at Zi Chen in surprise. He had intended to go back on his word, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually say that.

"Why wouldn't I want something that's delivered to me for free?" Zi Chen asked back with a trace of ridicule on his face.

"Mo Chen, do you know what you're doing? This is a bet. Do you have the confidence to kill him in three strikes?" The princess said.

Zi Chen said, "Of course I have the confidence."

"Haha."

Huo Di laughed, "Good, it's good to have confidence. I'm afraid that you don't even have the confidence. Don't say that I'm bullying you. This time, I'll let you have two more strikes, so you can have five strikes."

Zi Chen's eyes lit up, "You're the one who said that."

"Of course. I, Huo Di, am a man of my words. If I let you have five strikes, then I'll have five strikes."

The laughing Huo Di's smile quickly froze, because Zi Chen had stepped forward, stretched out his black hand, and slapped him across the face.

The crisp sound spread throughout the surroundings. At this moment, everyone was just like Huo Di, dumbfounded.

Seeing the four black fingerprints on Huo Di's face, Zi Chen laughed, "One strike, four strikes left."

"You!" Huo Di's face turned red from anger. He roared at Zi Chen, "You dare hit me?!"

"Why wouldn't I dare? We're betting, but I didn't expect your defense to be so strong. Not only did I not kill you, I didn't even injure you."

Facing Zi Chen's ridicule, Huo Di wanted to vomit blood. The surrounding people all smiled, obviously understanding what Zi Chen was thinking.

He just wanted to disgust Huo Di. Knowing that he couldn't get the Spirit Weapon, he just wanted to humiliate him. This method was really shameless.

Princess had already guessed Zi Chen's intention. After all, they were both demons, and she was also very ashamed of Huo Di's actions. She immediately said, "Mo Chen, Huo Di's defense is still very strong. You have to use more strength."

Zi Chen turned his head and said, "As you command."

After saying that, he turned around again, and another slap came down.

This time, the slap was even louder. It was as if Zi Chen had created his own invincible slap technique. Huo Di's body spun around three times.

"Damn it, do you know what you're doing?" The guard beside Huo Di shouted, and at the same time, he stepped forward to stop Zi Chen.

"Get lost." Zi Chen shouted, "Can't you see that we're betting?"

"Betting? You're obviously insulting him." The guard shouted again.

This slap made Huo Di dizzy, and he was burning with anger. He had completely lost his mind. Previously, he was still holding up his defense, waiting for Zi Chen to attack, but the other party was completely humiliating him.

He also expected that the other party knew that he couldn't kill him, and wanted to disgust him. Therefore, he gave up his defense, and was completely furious, his eyes spitting fire.

But just as he withdrew his defense, Zi Chen's eyes suddenly had a murderous intent. He clenched his fist and punched out, and a golden light flashed.

The two of them were very close. Huo Di roared and wanted to question Zi Chen, but he didn't expect Zi Chen to suddenly attack. When he reacted, it was already too late.

The golden light of the fist drowned Huo Di, and a strong force began to attack his body. This attack, other than being terrifying, was even more terrifying because it didn't have the huge pushing force to push his body back.

Therefore, Zi Chen struck out two more lightning-fast attacks.

For the first attack, he punched out again, and a strong force came out of his fist, pouring into Huo Di's body like a tide, rushing up his soul and down into Abdomen.

Then, the second attack, which was also the fifth attack, changed Zi Chen's fist into a claw, and directly broke through Huo Di's defense, piercing through his chest, and then pulled out a beating heart.

The last three attacks happened as fast as lightning, so fast that it was inconceivable, and so fast that no one could react.

By the time the surrounding people cried out, the battle was already over. The golden light dissipated, and Huo Di's lifeless body fell to the ground.

"Bang."

Huo Di's body fell to the ground, making a loud sound. Only then did the crowd react.

Dead, the spirit body Huo Di was actually dead, and within the stipulated range, he was killed in five attacks.

While the crowd was still in shock, Zi Chen had already taken off Huo Di's spirit ring with lightning speed. At the same time, he looked at Huo Di's guard with a smile, saying, "I won, this spirit weapon should be mine."

Huo Di's death, the guard was still in shock. Hearing Zi Chen's words, he subconsciously wanted to take back the spirit weapon, but he suddenly felt his hand loosening. Then, a huge force landed on his body, and his body involuntarily flew back.

"Another spirit weapon." Zi Chen quickly put away the box, and a smile appeared on his face.

Around him, the crowd was still in a daze.

Huo Di was dead, and he was the master of this ancient castle, but now, the master was actually dead.

The princess's beautiful eyes were wide open, and her face was filled with disbelief. Everything was too inconceivable.

"What you used just now was not demonic energy, who are you?!" Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, and it was Ba Meng who first recovered from his shock.

Only then did the others remember that what killed Huo Di was a golden light, and not a pitch-black demonic energy. They all stared at Zi Chen with unkind eyes.

"Who I am is not important, what's important is that I killed Huo Di within the stipulated range of the bet, I won, right?" Zi Chen's body was still charred black, and at this moment, only two rows of white teeth could be seen when he smiled.

Zi Chen was brought here by the princess, and the others' gazes fell on the princess, but they found that the shock and doubt on her face was no less than theirs.

"Yi, damn it, why is there no spirit weapon, this bastard is lying."

Zi Chen's angry voice suddenly rang out. He checked Huo Di's spirit ring, and there was no spirit weapon inside.

The others' gazes towards Zi Chen became extremely strange, but at this time, Ba Meng turned into a ray of light, and rushed towards the dead Huo Di.

"Courting death."

Zi Chen shouted, and his figure flashed, rushing towards Ba Meng.

Then, the crowd saw a golden figure closely stick to Ba Meng.

Then, the golden figure began to flash, and various battle skills were shot out. The speed was so fast that it was almost as dense as raindrops in a storm, and the sound of banging was constantly heard.

Ba Meng was tightly stuck, and facing the storm-like attacks, he could only passively defend, and could not take the initiative to attack.

At the same time, his body was constantly retreating, but no matter how he retreated, he could not avoid the golden figure.

"Damn it, this is a close combat skill, you're an ancient race."

These were the last words that Ba Meng said after his life was threatened, and he exploded with all his strength.

After that, he spent the rest of his life being chased by Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's every punch, every kick, and every finger was used to the extreme, and it was enough to injure Ba Meng, but not enough to send him flying. Every time he lost control, Zi Chen would gently pull him back.
