Reality took the token and was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by the old man.
"Wait, if there's any trouble you can't solve, remember to let me know."
"Yes."
Reality nodded again and left. He sighed in his heart that the Emptiness Realm cultivator was really lucky to be favored by this lord.
However, what he was more curious about was why this Virtual Realm expert had the guts to kill a Corporeal Realm expert.
On a street in Huping City, two women were walking forward.
"Sister Hong, it's that person." One of the women suddenly spoke.
"It's him, Zi Chen." Shangguan Hong saw Zi Chen walking out of the city.
"What's he doing?"
From afar, Zi Chen's expression was very calm. However, it was this calmness that made Shangguan Hong feel that something was wrong.
Sure enough, as soon as Zi Chen left her sight, another person appeared. It was the city guard who had a conflict with Zi Chen.
The city guard was very fast and emitted an undisguised murderous intent.
"Is he in trouble?" Xiao Li saw this scene and couldn't help but worry.
She was very grateful that Zi Chen gave her a real weapon. Moreover, that transaction gave her a lot of commission. Seeing Zi Chen again, she couldn't help but worry.
Shangguan Hong didn't speak. She just looked in the direction Zi Chen left. No one knew what she was thinking.
Soon, more city guards appeared. There were many of them and their goal was very clear. They were all outside the city.
"There are so many city guards. Sister Hong, that Zi Chen must be in danger. Can you help him?" Xiao Li asked worriedly.
Shangguan Hong shook her head and said, "I said that I would help him, but he didn't want to. This time, even if I want to help him, I'm afraid I can't, unless …"
Xiao Li didn't ask what 'unless' because she had already guessed that unless she had to pay a huge price, this price was not something Sister Hong was willing to pay.
Soon, many more cultivators appeared on the street. Then, there was a burst of discussion. Hearing these discussions, the two women's expressions immediately changed.
"He actually took the initiative to fight."
The two were very confused and puzzled. At the same time, they were also very curious.
An Emptiness Realm cultivator against a Corporeal Realm cultivator. There was a difference of an entire realm between them.
"Since he promised it himself, he should be confident. Maybe he has friends waiting outside the city." Xiao Li muttered.
Shang Guan Hong smiled and said, "No matter what it is, it's better to go out and have a look."
With that, the two of them walked out of the city.
Zi Chen quickly left the city and continued forward.
"Kid, don't even think about running away!" Iwai shouted, and then quickly chased after him.
"Idiot." Zi Chen glanced at him disdainfully, then suddenly sped up.
"Damn it, he's running away." Iwai knew that something was wrong and quickly chased after him.
Zi Chen stopped two and a half kilometers away from the city. He turned around and looked in the direction of Huping City with a black saber in his hand.
The longsword was none other than the demonic blade jointly crafted by Cauldron Spirit and Wang Jun. It possessed unimaginable sharpness.
Zi Chen held his saber and calmly looked at the person in front of him.
"I thought you ran away." Iwai stood a hundred meters away from Zi Chen and said coldly.
The sound of people rushing through the air could be heard continuously. One cultivator after another arrived. Soon, the area was completely surrounded.
Most of these people thought that Zi Chen would run away. But when they saw that he was actually waiting here, they were all surprised.
Many of the city guards had arrived. Kuroko and the others were also watching the show from afar. As long as Zhou Chong did not attack, no one would be a threat to Zi Chen.
Zi Chen glanced at Iwai and then at the other city guards. He asked indifferently, "You idiots, are you going to come one by one or all at once?"
Such a lofty provocation naturally caused an uproar.
The others were furious. They threatened to charge forward and kill Zi Chen. Iwai waved his hand and said, "You don't have to do anything. I can kill him myself."
After saying that, he walked step by step towards Zi Chen.
Zi Chen, however, said mockingly, "What? Are you going to use your status as a city guard to kill me? Or are you saying that after I kill you, you city guards can legitimately join forces to kill me?"
When they heard Zi Chen's contemptuous words, all the city guards were furious. You're just a mere Virtual Realm cultivator. Who do you think you are? How dare you bargain with the city guards?
"Hmph. If I use my status as a city guard to kill a Virtual Realm cultivator like you, it will be an insult to the city guards."
After saying that, Iwai tore off an epaulet from his shoulder. This was the insignia of the city guards. Then, he shouted to the crowd, "Everyone, please be my witness. I am not a city guard. I am just an ordinary early-stage Corporeal Realm cultivator. Now, because of a personal grudge, I will kill this Virtual Realm cultivator."
"Okay, we will be your witness."
As soon as Iwai finished speaking, many voices echoed.
Iwai nodded in satisfaction. Then, he looked at Zi Chen. "Can we begin?"
"Yes," Zi Chen said calmly. Then, he tightened his grip on the demonic blade in his hand.
"Do you think that you can rely on a Corporeal Realm cultivator to fight someone above your level? Stop dreaming. The difference between a Corporeal Realm cultivator and a Virtual Realm cultivator isn't just a weapon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Iwai pointed a finger at Zi Chen.
Streaks of Corporeal Realm cultivator power appeared between his fingers. This power instantly enveloped Zi Chen.
Zi Chen moved a few times, but he couldn't break free.
In an instant, Zi Chen was trapped.
This was very surprising. They thought that since this Virtual Realm cultivator was so arrogant, he would have some tricks up his sleeve. They didn't expect him to be so weak.
When he saw that the Virtual Realm cultivator was trapped, Iwai sneered and rushed towards Zi Chen.
"Sister Hong, what should we do?" Xiao Li asked worriedly from afar.
"Let's wait and see. He shouldn't be so weak," Shangguan Hong said calmly. However, she didn't have much confidence in herself.
As for the Corporeal Realm cultivator who was in charge of dealing with Zi Chen, he kept shaking his head.
Zi Chen was still struggling, but he couldn't break free from the Corporeal Realm cultivator's seal. Iwai walked in front of Zi Chen with a sinister smile.
"Die."
He didn't even use a Corporeal Realm cultivator's sword. He held his sword with one hand and shot out a Corporeal Realm cultivator's sword aura towards Zi Chen's heart.
If this attack pierced his heart, Zi Chen would die without a doubt.
Iwai still didn't use his full strength for this attack. This was because he still held back some of his strength in case Zi Chen counterattacked.
As a Corporeal Realm cultivator, he naturally wasn't an idiot. Although his words were vicious, his mind was still very meticulous.
Just when the sword aura was an inch away from Zi Chen and Iwai had completely let down his guard, Zi Chen made his move.
A destructive power surged from the hand holding his blade. This power broke free from the Corporeal Realm cultivator's restraint. Then, Zi Chen raised his blade high and slashed down fiercely.
"Clang."
During this time, the sword aura had already hit Zi Chen's chest. Under the powerful force, Zi Chen's outer clothes were torn apart, revealing the inner armor underneath. The inner armor blocked Iwai's attack and exploded into sparks.
"Pfft."
After this attack, Iwai didn't have the strength to make a second attack. Perhaps he sensed that something was wrong and retreated. The Demonic Blade turned into a beam of light and slashed towards his opponent's throat. After a sound, Iwai's head was separated from his body.
His greatly changed expression completely froze. His soul that wanted to rush out of his mind was instantly destroyed by a huge force.
The headless corpse spurted blood. Iwai's head fell to the ground with a thud. The surroundings had long since become deathly silent.
The battle started quickly and ended just as quickly. The outcome was unexpected.
Looking at the Corporeal Realm cultivator's corpse and then at the Virtual Realm cultivator holding the Demonic Blade, everyone's faces were filled with shock.
How could an Virtual Realm cultivator kill a Corporeal Realm cultivator?
This was something that completely defied common sense.
However, if one thought about it carefully, this was very likely.
Iwai had underestimated his opponent. Not only did the Virtual Realm cultivator have an offensive weapon, but he also had a defensive weapon on him. Moreover, the last attack was too shocking. Furthermore, Iwai was exhausted, so he didn't have time to dodge.
The field was still deathly silent. However, Zi Chen made a move. He first collected the corpse, then took a few steps forward and collected the head as well.
After doing all this, Zi Chen's gaze swept across the distance again. He said coldly, "Are there any more idiots coming up?"
The crowd, who had just regained consciousness, felt that their minds were in a mess because of Zi Chen's provocation again.
Shouldn't he quit while he was ahead and leave immediately after winning by luck?
But why was he still provoking him?
Could it be that the Virtual Realm cultivator still thought that luck was on his side?
"Good lord, this is purely suicidal."
Corporeal, who was in charge of dealing with Zi Chen's troubles, suddenly said this. In his heart, he didn't want to give the Rank Three Token to Zi Chen. He could also see that Zi Chen had won by luck.
"Was it luck? Was it a coincidence? Or was it intentional?" Even Shang Guan Hong didn't understand.
Perhaps only Hei Zi and the others in the field knew what this was, but they all looked equally shocked. It had to be said that these people were really bad.
The crowd didn't understand, but the city army was extremely angry. One person rushed out and said angrily, "Kid, I'll kill you."
A trace of ridicule appeared on Zi Chen's indifferent expression. He glanced at the person's epaulette and said, "Don't you know the rules?"
The city army was a huge monster. Even if he had the right, Zi Chen still didn't want to kill them openly.
"Hmph, everyone, please be my witness. I'm not the city army. I'm just an ordinary person." Corporeal tore off his epaulette and said to the crowd.
Voices of agreement rose again. After receiving confirmation, the city army soldier rushed toward Zi Chen.
This time, however, he learned from Iwai's lesson. Just as he was about to reach Zi Chen, he opened up his Corporeal Space and directly sucked Zi Chen in.
There was suddenly no one in the field. This greatly disappointed the people who wanted to watch this battle, and many of the city army soldiers frowned.
They were worried that after killing the Virtual Realm cultivator, that person would move the wealth inside ahead of time.
However, this worry was obviously unnecessary. After about ten breaths of time, the Corporeal Space opened up again and a person appeared from within.
When the crowd saw this person's appearance, shock and horror naturally appeared on their faces again.
"How is this possible? It's still that Virtual Realm cultivator."
"He killed Corporeal again."
"This is impossible. It must be an illusion."
No one could believe what they were seeing, but it was indeed the case.
