Chapter 1299
The aura released by the silver-armored man made everyone tremble.
At this moment, they didn't doubt that the silver-armored man could kill them with a single finger.
Even the Undying Wu Xie became extremely low-key and didn't say a word.
"It's over. We're going to die."
This was what they thought because the silver-armored man was an invincible existence. He was stronger than everyone and couldn't be killed.
But when they looked at Zi Chen, they saw that Zi Chen was frowning and thinking. He didn't show any despair.
Along the way, they were used to following Zi Chen's orders and trusted Zi Chen. Seeing that Zi Chen didn't despair, they seemed to have hope, even if they didn't know where it came from.
The silver-armored man was like the most powerful lifeform in the world, looking down at the ants he could kill with a single breath. The smile on his face gradually became sinister.
"What are you worried about?" Suddenly, a voice rang out from Zi Chen's mouth. It was directed at the silver-armoured man.
"Are you talking to me?"
The silver-armored man asked. His aura was so strong that there were even more colorful lights around him. At this moment, he was like a war god wearing colorful battle armor.
"Of course," Zi Chen said, resisting the pressure.
"The ones who should be worried are you guys," the silver-armored man said indifferently.
"It should be you. But if you want to listen to my explanation, then restrain your aura first," Zi Chen said.
The silver-armored man sneered and began to restrain his aura. Zi Chen let out a sigh of relief.
Now, he was certain that he wouldn't be able to survive a single move from the silver-armored man.
If the silver-armored man attacked, he would definitely die.
Man Shi and the others looked at Zi Chen with anticipation. They were hoping for a miracle.
"I don't know what you're worried about, but I can see that you're worried," Zi Chen said with certainty as he looked into the silver-armored man's eyes.
"Let's hear it," the silver-armored man said with a mocking smile.
"If you're not worried, why did you let your clone think of a way to kill us?" Zi Chen asked.
"His doppelganger attacked you? Haha, then he probably wants to prove his strength." The silver-armored man was slightly startled, and then he chuckled.
Zi Chen shook his head seriously and said, "No, that's definitely not the case. That's what I thought just now, but when I think about it carefully, there are many suspicious points."
"If the clone really wanted to prove something, then when he felt that he couldn't win, he should have chosen to retreat instead of attacking with all his might. He definitely knew how strong you were, but he still chose to die. In my opinion, it wasn't because of his pride. Perhaps he was just a clone, so it didn't matter whether he died or not. The real reason should be that he knew that if we met you, you would definitely be in trouble. Or rather, it wouldn't be that easy to kill us."
Hearing Zi Chen's explanation, the silver-armored man suddenly laughed. "Very interesting reasoning, but what kind of trouble do you think you can cause me?"
Although the others felt that Zi Chen's words made sense, they really did not understand why they would bring trouble to others.
If they were outside this world, this was also very possible.
However, they were now together, and the silver-armored man's movements were clearly not restricted. The so-called trouble might not even exist.
Zi Chen smiled faintly and said, "Just now, I didn't know what kind of trouble we could cause you, but I seemed to have suddenly thought of a possibility."
The silver-armored man looked at Zi Chen without any change in his expression.
"The clone didn't attack along the way, so he definitely wasn't hiding his strength. He should be avoiding something. I'm guessing that it's the three powerful existences we killed before. But they're all dead, so he still needs to avoid something."
The silver-armored man asked indifferently, "What are you trying to say?"
"I want to say that it's definitely easy for you to kill us, but it might not be easy. There should be a lot of resistance. I'm guessing that this resistance should come from the person who sealed you."
As soon as Zi Chen finished speaking, the others reacted. Wu Xie even slapped his forehead and said, "That's right. You're not dead, so the existence who sealed you shouldn't be dead either. Although you're very strong, you're afraid of that powerful existence. He must be alive and nearby, right?"
The silver-armored man laughed coldly and said disdainfully, "He, or rather, they. If it weren't for their scheme, how could I be trapped here? But 25,555 years have passed. Even if they're still alive, they're very weak. Judging from the fact that you guys were able to reach this place, their strength has long been depleted, and they were all killed by you guys along the way."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked. Man Shi asked, "The powerful existences we killed along the way were the experts who sealed you?"
"Experts," the silver-armored man said disdainfully. "Maybe they were in the past, but now they're just dead people."
"So, you're betting, right?"
Zi Chen pointed at the silver-armored man and said, "You're betting that their strength has greatly decreased and they're no longer a threat to you. You're betting that your doppelganger can bring you a powerful team and then destroy them."
"That's right, I'm betting, but it seems that I'm about to succeed." The silver-armored man laughed.
Zi Chen shook his head and said, "No, this isn't just your gamble. You're betting, and so are others. But unfortunately, you think that this is just your gamble, and even if you lose, it's no big deal. Little do you know that there's another gambler standing opposite you, and they're betting with you."
"What do you mean?" The silver-armored man suddenly felt that something was wrong.
But the others were confused and didn't know what was going on.
"You're betting in the open, but he, or rather, they're betting with you in the dark. The doppelganger and us are your cards, a set of cards that doesn't matter if you win or lose. But what you don't know is that there's someone else who has taken a fancy to your set of cards and is betting heavily, preparing to decide victory or defeat in one round, life or death in one round," Zi Chen said with great certainty.
The fog that had been bothering him was dispelled, and he saw through the whole thing.
"Your gamble is just for your own amusement. It seems that you've been preparing for a long time, but you're not prepared at all. But there's someone who seems to be unprepared, but he's calculating the gains and losses very carefully. So, if you calculate it this way, we might not necessarily die."
The silver-armored man sneered and said, "Who's betting with me? The people who bet with me are already dead, killed by you."
Zi Chen also sneered and said, "What if they're faking their deaths?"
"Faking their deaths."
The silver-armored man's expression finally changed. He was in disbelief and disbelief. Then he looked carefully at Zi Chen and Zi Chen's group and said, "How is this possible? Could it be that with just the few of you, they're able to fake their deaths and not hesitate to gamble with their lives?"
Zi Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll find out soon enough whether or not I am."
Then he looked out of the colorful space and said, "After talking so much, my mouth is a little dry. I say, you guys should be coming out by now."
Shang Guan Hong and the others' emotions became very complicated. They hoped that someone would really come, and that this was not just Zi Chen's guess.
"Haha."
A burst of hearty laughter rang out, followed by another burst of hearty laughter.
They were all too familiar with this laughter. It was the three powerful existences that they had killed before.
"You guys really didn't die."
The appearance of the three powerful existences shocked everyone.
The black-robed man smiled and said, "Although our strength is greatly reduced, we still have a lot of people. How could we be killed by you?"
"Then why did you have to die?" Man Shi asked.
"Of course we faked our deaths."
"Then why did you have to fight so hard?" Man Shi asked again.
The black-robed man obviously felt that Man Shi's intelligence was not enough, so he looked at Zi Chen and said, "You're Zi Chen, right? You can explain to him."
"Because of the test," Zi Chen said.
"What test?" Man Shi asked again.
"To see if we have the capital to make a big bet. If we have the qualifications, then they will make a bet."
"What if it's not enough?"
"Then we die."
Man Shi suddenly shouted, "This is not fair, why should we die?"
"From the moment we decided to come with the Phantom Dragon Clone, we already had no choice," Zi Chen said.
The others looked at Zi Chen with admiration. They did not expect Zi Chen to be so attentive to these problems.
"Very smart little guy. Our bet on you guys was not in vain. I hope you have a chance of winning."
Another indifferent voice sounded, and then a tall figure appeared outside the colorful space.
Although separated by the seal, Zi Chen still felt a powerful and trembling aura from the figure, so he asked, "You're the expert with the Tianfu Hunting Order?"
"Yes, it's me, Chen Wei," the tall figure said.
"This one is Zi Chen. Greetings, senior." Zi Chen bowed to Chen Wei.
The other four also bowed.
Chen Wei waved his hand and said, "I saw your performance, and to be honest, I am very satisfied with you. I saw your potential and could vaguely guess your background. Halfway through, Brother Yin Hong and I wanted to stop you guys. After all, your strength is a bit weak, but … our strength has dropped too much, and we are running out of time. Naturally, there is no chance. If we don't use this opportunity to eliminate him, I'm afraid we won't have another chance to kill him. So, we selfishly decided for you and let you participate in the next battle."
Zi Chen heard this and smiled bitterly, "I don't think we're going to kill him like this."
"Of course not, we have our own ways. Brother Yin Hong, are you still not going to show up?" Chen Wei said.
"Sigh, this time we have to sacrifice one of my descendants. Our bloodline is already rare." Another figure appeared. This was a middle-aged man, and he looked at Shangguan Hong as soon as he appeared.
The moment Shangguan Hong saw the middle-aged man, her expression immediately changed. She looked at the middle-aged man in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "You … you are the ancestor, why are you here?"
