Chapter 1050

There was a sword mark on the back of Zi Chen's head, which had almost pierced through his skull. Blood flowed down his hair. This was the result of Sha Qi's sneak attack. Although Zi Chen had already discovered the opponent's intention, he was still injured by the fierce attack.

At this moment, he coldly looked at the Princess. In the entire hall, only the two of them were alive.

The Princess looked surprised, but her expression was still calm. She quietly watched Zi Chen put away the Spirit Weapon, and then gave him a cold, murderous look.

She was not afraid, and instead asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you going to return my Spirit Weapon?"

"What Spirit Weapon?" Zi Chen asked, and then he walked step by step towards the Princess.

"You want to act shamelessly too?" the Princess asked again.

Zi Chen threatened, "Do you want your life or your things?"

The Princess did not hesitate and answered decisively, "Of course I want your life."

As soon as she finished speaking, a black light flashed, and she had already kicked out at Zi Chen. Her straight and smooth jade-like leg ruthlessly kicked at Zi Chen with unimaginable power, causing the space to howl.

Peng!

Zi Chen raised his hand and blocked in front of him. His palm came into contact with the jade-like leg, neutralizing the huge force.

The Princess turned around and swept her other leg towards Zi Chen. This time, she actually aimed for Zi Chen's lower body. Her attack was vicious and ruthless.

Zi Chen raised his foot to block, and there was another rumbling sound. The space rippled, and the two figures swayed as they both retreated.

The Princess shouted and swept her palm towards Zi Chen's face. At this moment, she was also using a close-combat technique. However, compared to Zi Chen's close-combat techniques, the Princess' technique was more elegant, and she even maintained some distance from Zi Chen.

This was probably a close-combat technique specially designed for women. When there was no physical contact between the two, it could still be used to great effect.

Zi Chen countered every move and kept blocking. At the same time, he wanted to dash forward and fight the princess in close combat, but every time he got close, he would be pushed away by an unknown force.

The princess' true combat strength was not any weaker than the spirit body, especially in close combat. Once the spirit body was closed in, it would not end well.

In the hall, the sound of metal and black energy continuously scattered in all directions. The crisp sound of jade breaking could be heard in the hall.

"Pa."

Zi Chen raised his hand and grabbed the princess' jade-like arm. In the next moment, a surge of power came from her arm, knocking Zi Chen away.

Zi Chen's right hand was like a golden snake, coiling around the princess's arm in an attempt to restrain her.

"Shameless."

The princess roared angrily. The power in her arm vibrated, and after shaking off Zi Chen once again, she pulled back, her movements graceful and agile.

Swish. Swish. Swish. Swish.

The two's figures kept changing. During this time, various close-combat techniques were used. The golden and black light flickered and flickered from time to time.

Originally, it was Zi Chen who was beaten back, but after Zi Chen's close-combat combo, it was the princess who retreated and Zi Chen who advanced.

A close-combat combo had to be close, so when Zi Chen advanced, the princess slashed and attacked. At the same time, she retreated, increasing the distance between her and Zi Chen.

At first glance, the two's fighting style looked as if Zi Chen was trying to use force, while the princess kept resisting and forcing him back.

Feeling that Zi Chen's attacks were getting fiercer and fiercer, the princess's expression changed. She collided with Zi Chen, and then used the momentum to retreat. However, she suddenly found that her ankle was grabbed by Zi Chen, and Zi Chen was smiling coldly at her.

"Shameless."

The Princess's body spun in the air, and then she launched dozens of kicks at Zi Chen. Zi Chen's hands were constantly moving, sometimes passing through the many illusions and grabbing the Princess's ankle.

Seeing that her feet were about to be grabbed by Zi Chen, the princess felt helpless. She formed a hand seal, and a black light flashed as a sharp technique attack appeared, slashing towards Zi Chen's face.

Zi Chen's hands turned into a golden light, blocking this attack. The princess used the momentum to retreat, distancing herself from Zi Chen.

At the same time, she was afraid that Zi Chen would come close, so she was on guard.

The two of them had only fought for a few minutes, but the princess was already covered in sweat. The battle had been too intense, and she could not afford to be careless. If she made a mistake, she would either be at a disadvantage or be captured.

The princess stared at Zi Chen, and her beautiful face was filled with anger. Her chest heaved up and down. She believed that her close combat skills could be ranked at the top among her siblings, and she had always been proud of it. However, after fighting with Zi Chen today, she realized that there was always someone better out there.

Zi Chen did not continue to attack. Instead, he stood in the distance, coldly looking at the princess. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and his heart was naturally filled with killing intent. However, his perfect spiritual sense also detected an unusual atmosphere, so Zi Chen did not dare to kill her.

The two of them did not speak, and both fell into silence.

On the other hand, the strong one, Zi Chen, looked a little hesitant, and was not as decisive as before. Looking at the weak side, the princess seemed to be very confident.

"If you don't attack, how about we make a deal?" Suddenly, the princess spoke, her voice as cold as before.

"A deal? What kind of deal?" Zi Chen asked.

With one question and one answer, the princess had already taken the initiative, and Zi Chen was in a passive position.

A ball of black light appeared in the princess' hand, and within it was a stone. She raised the black stone in her hand and said, "Give me those two Spirit Weapons, and I'll give you one Brilliant Devil Crystal."

Zi Chen's face was filled with disdain, and he mocked, "Do you think I'm an idiot? Previously, you used three Brilliant Devil Crystals to exchange for one Spirit Weapon, and now you want to use one to exchange for two of my Spirit Weapons?"

The princess looked at Zi Chen and calmly said, "Those two Spirit Weapons were mine to begin with. Am I wrong?"

Zi Chen was stunned, but he could not say anything. A rare trace of awkwardness appeared on his cold face. Along the way, although he had killed and robbed many people, this was the first time he had robbed a woman. Moreover, this was not a simple robbery, but more like reneging on a debt.

Seeing the flash of awkwardness on Zi Chen's face, the princess' lips curled into a faint smile.

"She's a demon, not a woman. She's an enemy of humanity. By robbing her, you're actually helping humanity."

Feeling somewhat apologetic, Zi Chen began to find excuses for himself. Just as he was about to be convinced by himself, he suddenly remembered that when he was bullied by those forces, didn't they also find high-sounding excuses?

And now, he was robbing a woman's things, and he was still trying to find excuses for himself. Wasn't this the same situation as them?

"Damn it, I, Zi Chen, only do things according to my heart." Suddenly, the awkwardness on Zi Chen's face disappeared, and his expression became cold again.

Just when the princess thought he was going to kill her, or attack her again, or even bargain, she saw Zi Chen actually take out the two Spirit Weapons from before and throw them to her without hesitation.

"This is yours. Take it." Zi Chen said coldly.

The princess subconsciously took the box. When she looked at Zi Chen again, her gaze had become extremely complicated. There was surprise, doubt, surprise, and even admiration.

"Although you're a demon, you're also a woman. I don't want to kill you for no reason. I've given you the thing, and you've taken me out of Demon Sect City. From now on, we don't owe each other anything." With that, Zi Chen lifted his foot and was about to leave.

"Wait." The princess suddenly spoke.

Zi Chen turned his head and said coldly, "You still have something to do."

The princess smiled and said, "I just said that I want to make a deal with you. Naturally, I have to keep my word. This thing is yours."

The princess raised the Brilliant Devil Crystal in her hand again.

"No need. Keep it for yourself." Zi Chen waved his hand and strode away.

The princess didn't urge him to stay. Instead, she said indifferently, "The Brilliant Devil Crystal is divided into three grades in the demon race. They are the common grade, the best grade, and the saint grade. The one we just traded was the best grade. Three for one Spirit Weapon, and the best grade has a seventy percent chance of transforming a Spirit Weapon.

"And the one in my hand is known as the saint grade. There aren't many of them in the demon race. The chances of it transforming a Spirit Weapon is one hundred percent."

Ahead, Zi Chen had already stopped. He turned around and carefully examined the Brilliant Devil Crystal in the princess' hand. Sure enough, he found that it was different from the previous one.

An awkward look appeared on his face upon seeing this. After all, he had thought that the other party was deliberately trying to extort him, and he had even generously offered the items he wanted. However, who would have thought that the other party was genuinely interested in making a deal with him, and had actually offered him Saint Grade Brilliant Devil Crystals?

The princess chuckled and threw the Brilliant Devil Crystal to Zi Chen. Because the saint grade Brilliant Devil Crystal was too precious, Zi Chen subconsciously caught it.

"You know what's good for you. I'll spare your life today." In order to hide the embarrassment in his heart, Zi Chen left behind a ruthless sentence, then turned around and left.

Zi Chen blasted open the castle's gate, shattering the restrictions. Then, Zi Chen walked out of the castle's main hall.

As soon as he left, the space beside the princess began to distort. Then, a devil wrapped in a black robe walked out of it.

"Your Highness, why did you let him go?" As soon as the devil appeared, he asked in confusion.

"You wanted to kill him."

"He had killing intent in his heart before, wanting to kill Your Highness. Moreover, he killed many of our Devil Race. This kind of person has great potential and will definitely be a great enemy of our Devil Race in the future. We should take advantage of the fact that he has yet to mature to kill him."

The devil was puzzled. "Your Highness, why didn't you kill him? Why did you give him the saint grade Brilliant Devil Crystal?"

"Killing him would be easy, but wouldn't that mean we would lose a friend? Today, he killed the four great spirits, not just for the sake of the Soul Weapons, but also because of a grudge. You also said that his potential is very high, so wouldn't it be better for him to help us fight against those clans? Also, although he is a human, I have to say that his character is really good. Just the fact that he was able to give us two Soul Weapons means that he is much stronger than the others."

"Those things originally belonged to Your Highness. It's only right for him to give them to Your Highness."

"But the item is with him, so it belongs to him. However, it's not that easy to take my Saint Grade Demon Brilliance Crystal. Go back and investigate Zi Chen's background. If there's a need, go and inform those families that Zi Chen killed their spiritual bodies."

"Since the spirits are dead, I don't think they will sit still and wait for death."

"Indeed, it's better to let them bite each other," said the devil.
