Chapter 1290

The black-robed man's head was chopped off by Zi Chen, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The Blade Golden-Eyed Beast in his hand was also heavily injured and almost fell into a deep sleep. Zi Chen acted at lightning speed and added layers of seals around the Blade Golden-Eyed Beast.

"Swoosh."

Ever since they left Huping City, Huan Long had not made a move. However, after the black-robed man died, he suddenly moved. His target was none other than Zi Chen.

"Swoosh." "Swoosh."

But at the same time, two more lights flashed. It was Shang Guan Hong and Dong Qing who had arrived in front of Zi Chen first.

Shang Guan Hong had already received Zi Chen's warning and had been paying attention to Huan Long's movements.

She did not know Huan Long's goal, but her first priority was to protect Zi Chen.

As for Dong Qing, although she did not receive any orders, she had left a trace of her soul remembrance in Zi Chen's body. She could more or less sense Zi Chen's thoughts.

The moment the black-robed man died, Zi Chen actually felt danger and alertness. Moreover, the soul fluctuation in his Sea of Consciousness was so great that it directly affected her soul remembrance.

She did not know where the danger came from, but like Shang Guan Hong, she wanted to protect Zi Chen first.

Huan Long only charged forward for a short distance before stopping. He then asked with concern, "Zi Chen, how are you?"

Zi Chen landed on the ground and expressionlessly glanced at the two women. Then, he looked at Huan Long and shook his head.

However, as soon as he shook his head, he coughed up blood again.

"How are you?" Shang Guan Hong and Dong Qing looked at him worriedly.

Wu Xie and Man Shi also walked over.

However, the two of them noticed that something was wrong. Shang Guan Hong and Dong Qing were protecting Zi Chen, but they also seemed to be deliberately separating Huan Long and guarding against him.

Huan Long's actions just now also made the two of them feel that something was wrong.

Zi Chen was coughing violently. Every time he coughed, he would vomit blood. He seemed to be in a very bad state.

Shang Guan Hong and Dong Qing were very worried. The two of them took out a lot of high quality pills and indicated to Zi Chen to swallow them first.

"I'm fine."

After Zi Chen said this, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

In the place where he disappeared, there was a three-meter-long Virtual Realm. This was his Virtual Realm.

At this moment, the illusory space had clearly become unstable. Almost all of the colorful lights inside had disappeared.

Zi Chen said that he was fine, but everyone could tell that something was wrong with him, and it was a big deal.

"Zi Chen, are you alright?" Man Shi was also very worried about Zi Chen.

"He probably won't die," Wu Xie said with a complicated expression.

This time, Zi Chen could be considered to have turned the tide and saved everyone.

"I still have some good pills here. I'll send them to Zi Chen."

Huan Long also took out some high quality pills. He was about to enter Zi Chen's Virtual Realm.

Shang Guan Hong stepped forward and stopped Huan Long. She said, "No need. Give me the pills. I'll go give them to him."

"You."

Huan Long was startled. He said, "Isn't this the same? This time, it was all thanks to Zi Chen. I still want to thank him properly. Moreover, I want to give him some compensation in person."

Shang Guan Hong shook her head and said, "There's no need to rush the compensation. I'll go in. Compared to you, I'm more worried about his safety."

Her voice was very gentle. There was worry in it, but also deep affection.

Huan Long was startled again, but he didn't say anything. He just inadvertently glanced at Wu Xie. The latter's expression was very ugly.

Shang Guan Hong took the pills and was about to enter Zi Chen's Virtual Realm. However, as soon as she entered the Virtual Realm, she paused and then sent out two spiritual thoughts.

"Be careful. There might be danger around."

The first sentence was sent to Man Shi and Dong Qing at the same time. Then, she sent another message to Man Shi alone. "Guard here. Don't let anyone near this Virtual Realm."

Dong Qing's expression couldn't be seen under the mask. However, the Armored Beast from before ran over, and so did the powerful Battle Beast.

Man Shi was very confused. However, since Shang Guan Hong sent a message, it was obvious that she was afraid of something or was being careful. He didn't ask any more questions and directly stepped forward to stand outside Zi Chen's Virtual Realm.

Shang Guan Hong walked into Zi Chen's Virtual Realm. It was still very empty. The originally stable world had become extremely unstable. Many forces were showing signs of violence and going out of control.

Zi Chen was lying on the ground. There was a large patch of blood under him.

The saber and shield appeared next to Zi Chen.

"Zi Chen."

Shang Guan Hong stepped forward. Regardless of the blood on his body, she directly helped him up. Seeing Zi Chen like this, she was obviously flustered.

Then, Shang Guan Hong began to feed Zi Chen pills. These pills were of very high quality. Under normal circumstances, they could only be obtained from auctions.

Zi Chen's eyes were listless. His wounds were bleeding and he kept coughing up blood. The pills couldn't be fed at all.

His spirit was also very weak. He couldn't mobilize the Rule Power at all.

Shang Guan Hong, who was already flustered, was even more at a loss after seeing the pills being spat out. She was so flustered that she couldn't put a second pill into Zi Chen's mouth.

Zi Chen's situation was very bad. If she delayed any longer, she was afraid that his life would be in danger.

The flustered Shang Guan Hong suddenly gritted her teeth, then picked up the pills and put them into her mouth.

These pills melted as soon as they entered her mouth, turning into the purest medicinal effect. Shang Guan Hong then held the medicinal juice, leaned over, and pressed her red lips on Zi Chen's lips.

A trace of power shot through the tip of her tongue and gently pried open Zi Chen's mouth. The medicinal juice in Shang Guan Hong's mouth was accompanied by a trace of gentle wood power. She sent the medicinal juice into Zi Chen's mouth and then into Zi Chen's stomach.

After the medicinal juice entered his stomach, it began to take effect. Waves of vitality entered Zi Chen's meridians and then healed Zi Chen's injuries.

In this way, Shang Guan Hong sent one pill after another into Zi Chen's stomach. The seriously injured Zi Chen's condition slowly stabilized.

However, his eyes were still listless as if he had already fainted.

At this critical moment, Zi Chen could only enter his own world. However, he did not have the time to retrieve the saber and shield. As for the saber and shield, they had followed Zi Chen in.

Just as Shang Guan Hong was healing Zi Chen, a beam of light rushed out from the saber and shield. This light was like a spirit snake that slithered along Zi Chen's body and then entered Zi Chen's mind.

Shang Guan Hong was doing her best to save Zi Chen. Moreover, she was treating him under such circumstances, so she naturally did not notice the changes in the saber and shield.

When the two beams of light entered Zi Chen's Sea of Consciousness, light also appeared in front of Zi Chen's eyes.

In this bright light, his injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, he was completely healed.

After that, he walked out of his illusory world.

Outside the illusory world, everyone was anxiously waiting. When they saw Zi Chen appear, they were very happy.

Huan Long was also standing to the side. He looked at Zi Chen and nodded.

Seeing that Zi Chen was safe, Huan Long said, "Alright, let's continue going deeper."

"Alright." Zi Chen nodded.

Huan Long was still walking in front. Everyone was ready to leave this space.

"This might be the last powerful existence. We should be reaching our destination soon. I'm really looking forward to the place the treasure map leads us to. I wonder if there are other good things besides the Thunder Droplet of Life."

While they were talking, Huan Long was the first to walk out of this space. There were no restrictions outside this space.

"Let's go too," Wu Xie said, and then followed him.

Everyone walked out of this space one after another and arrived at another place.

This was a world dominated by green. As far as the eye could see, everything was green.

These green things came from the sky, where large trees grew. However, unlike ordinary trees, the roots of these trees were not on the ground. Instead, they were in the void and absorbed the power of the void.

"This is the Void Tree."

When everyone saw these trees, their expressions changed immediately.

Everyone was surprised, excited, shocked, and in disbelief.

During this time, Zi Chen's expression was the same.

As far as the eye could see, there were many Void Trees.

"There are actually so many Void Trees."

"Heavens, we're rich. There are so many Void Trees. How much can they be sold for?"

"Idiot, who would sell Void Trees? It's better to keep these things for your own cultivation."

"Who said no one would sell them? Huan Long sold them before."

Zi Chen and the two women were so shocked that they could not say a word. The conversation was between Wu Xie and Man Shi.

Suddenly, Man Shi noticed something strange and asked, "Where's Huan Long? Why is he missing?"

There were only five of them around. Huan Long was nowhere to be seen.

"Yeah, where's Huan Long?" Wu Xie also noticed that Huan Long was missing.

Zi Chen had always been wary of Huan Long. Now that he realized that Huan Long was not around, his expression changed. However, after releasing his spiritual thoughts and not sensing any abnormalities or danger, he shook his head and said, "Let's ignore him for now. Collecting the Void Trees is more important."

Because there were too many Void Trees and they were divided into several sections, there was no possibility of the five of them killing each other.

The five of them walked in five different directions. There were five Void Trees in each direction, and the number of Void Trees was about the same.

When Zi Chen was about to reach the Void Trees, he seemed to have sensed something and paused deliberately. Then, he turned around and looked in the direction of Wu Xie.

Wu Xie quickly rushed toward the Void Trees and prepared to collect them.

However, the Void Trees suddenly moved and revealed a black hole. Just as Wu Xie was surprised, a suction force sucked Wu Xie in.

Seeing Wu Xie disappear, Zi Chen's pupils suddenly shrank. This was because he saw a cold light in the black hole. Wu Xie's body was shattered by the cold light and disappeared.

Zi Chen's expression changed. He turned to look at Man Shi and saw that his body was instantly torn to pieces.

"Man Shi," Zi Chen shouted, but he quickly shouted, "Shang Guan Hong, Dong Qing, be careful."

Zi Chen's voice echoed in this world. The two of them seemed to have reacted and turned around.

However, the moment the two of them turned around, two sharp blades shot out from the black hole that had just appeared and struck the two of them.

With two loud bangs, the two men's bodies directly exploded. Their souls were also instantly destroyed.

"How can this be?"

Zi Chen's face was filled with anger. He released a powerful aura and shouted, "Huan Long, it's you. It's you, isn't it?"

"Zi Chen, it's your turn now."
