Chapter 1358

Zi Chen crawled out from the deep pit and stood up. His body was covered in dust and he even spat out dirt from his mouth. He was in a very sorry state.

But as everyone saw this, they nearly cried tears of joy.

This was because Zi Chen was still alive. Not only was he alive, but he was living well. The black-robed battle spirit's powerful strike just now hadn't caused any fatal injuries to him. His arms, legs, feet, and eyes were all still there.

It was just that the clothes on his upper body had been blown away and there was a red mark on his body. But, this wasn't a problem.

As Shangguan Hong saw Zi Chen in such a sorry state, she couldn't help but cry. But, there was a smile in her eyes; it was clear that she was truly crying tears of joy.

Dong Qing also smiled as she looked at Zi Chen. No one could tell that she had just cried.

Man Shi and the others were shouting loudly. They were clearly very excited.

"It's good that you're still alive. We can give up on this supreme treasure, but you can't die." Wu Xie also excitedly said.

Zi Chen spat for a long time before he finally spat out the dirt in his mouth. He looked back at Wu Xie and said, "I've known you for so long and you've finally said something decent. Alright, everyone, don't be distracted because of me. The battle is more important."

As he spoke, Zi Chen turned to look at the black-robed battle spirit. The battle spirit was still standing there, indifferently looking at him.

Zi Chen walked to the side and picked up the saber. He seemed relaxed and carefree, but the truth was that the throbbing in his heart could no longer be described with words.

This third-level battle spirit was not just strong, it was simply terrifying. He believed that if it were Xu Ming, then he would only need a single strike … a single strike and Xu Ming would be cut down.

And the reason Zi Chen was still alive was because the Blade Golden Eye Beast and the Scale Shield Flame Foal had neutralized that powerful strike for him. This had caused the two beast souls to fall into a deep slumber.

At the same time, Zi Chen also rejoiced in his heart. He rejoiced that when he reforged the saber and shield, he had added dragon scales. Otherwise, the saber and shield would have been scrapped.

The black saber's willfulness was still there, but because the weapon souls had fallen into a deep slumber, its spirituality had fallen to the lowest point.

He gripped his long blade and looked up at the battle spirit in front of him.

From Zi Chen's point of view, it would be extremely difficult to kill him.

As for the Spirit Gathering Pearl that Xu Ming had dropped, it had fallen behind the Battle Spirit. Zi Chen didn't think that the Battle Spirit would be kind enough to give him a chance to pick it up.

The battle at the rear was still going on. Wu Xie was the first to destroy the Battle Spirit and directly advanced more than five kilometers. Then he looked at Zi Chen and said, "If it's really impossible, we'll just leave. Don't force yourself. Life is the most precious thing."

"Not bad. We've gained quite a lot of luck points this time." Man Shi stepped forward and said after he finished off his opponent.

When Zi Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. It seemed that he had only obtained one Luck Point after entering this place.

Shang Guan Hong and Dong Qing came up at almost the same time. The two of them looked at Zi Chen worriedly. Dong Qing didn't say anything. Shang Guan Hong's eyes were filled with concern. She said softly, "I think he's not an ordinary battle spirit. Let's go."

Hearing everyone's persuasion, Zi Chen felt a little touched. Obviously, they were all afraid that something would happen to him. However, the treasure was right in front of him. Retreating so anxiously wasn't Zi Chen's style.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to take a gamble. He held his long blade and walked towards the Battle Spirit.

The latter watched indifferently as Zi Chen approached. When the two of them were about ten meters apart, the Battle Spirit tightened his grip on the scabbard.

This was a sign that the Battle Spirit was about to attack. Zi Chen quickly stopped and put down the long blade in his hand. He looked at the Battle Spirit in front of him and said with a smile, "Senior, senior, please don't be angry. I have something to discuss with you."

Seeing that Zi Chen, who was like a God of War and had killed Xu Ming, had become like this in the next moment, everyone couldn't help but have a strange expression on their faces.

"What is Zi Chen doing?"

"Is this really Zi Chen?"

"He's actually talking to a battle spirit. Could it be that he was beaten silly just now?"

Strange voices could be heard from the back.

The Battle Spirit's eyes were still indifferent. However, it seemed that after Zi Chen spoke, a bright light flashed in the Battle Spirit's indifferent eyes.

The Battle Spirit ignored him, but Zi Chen didn't care. He pointed at the Spirit Gathering Pearl behind him and said, "Senior … that thing … that white thing. It's mine … mine. Can I go and pick it up?"

Behind him, everyone saw Zi Chen's back and could guess his expression at this moment. In addition to his tone of voice, the word 'shameless' involuntarily appeared in their hearts.

It was indeed shameless. It was clearly Xu Ming's item, but now he said it was his. Moreover, he even discussed with others to pick it up. After picking it up, it was obvious that Zi Chen wanted to use this attack to deal with the Battle Spirit.

"Shameless, shameless."

"I didn't expect that a dignified man like Zi Chen, an existence that kills without blinking an eye, would have such a shameless moment."

"Sigh, it seems that you really can't judge a book by its cover."

Hearing the low sighs, Shang Guan Hong said with some displeasure, "What do you know? This is called knowing when to yield and when to stand tall. What does this have to do with being shameless?"

Beside her, Dong Qing also nodded solemnly. There was a strange look in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Zi Chen. "That's right. This kind of person can live for a long time and know how to be flexible."

Everyone's already strange expressions became even stranger when they looked at the two of them.

Everyone shook their heads and sighed in their hearts, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Such a shameless action can actually be described as being able to yield and stand tall."

In front, after Zi Chen finished speaking, he also looked at the black-robed battle spirit and cautiously approached. However, just as he advanced a meter, he saw blue veins appear on the black-robed battle spirit's left arm and his right hand seemed to move.

"Wait, wait."

Zi Chen hurriedly stretched out his hand and stopped the Battle Spirit. He then took two steps back and pointed at the Spirit Gathering Pearl again, saying, "That's mine. I just want to pick it up. Senior, please don't misunderstand. I have no ill intentions towards you."

Behind him, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. You're clearly the one who's afraid of other people having ill intentions.

Everyone clearly understood what Zi Chen meant. Wu Xie looked at Zi Chen and smiled, "I say, Zi Chen, don't waste your energy. If you talk to a Battle Spirit, do you think he'll agree? He's just a remnant soul. Who knows how many times he's fused together? He only knows how to kill, but he doesn't have any intelligence. He can't even compare to a fool like Man Shi."

The first part of his words made sense and Man Shi nodded. But towards the end, Man Shi was unhappy. He glared at Wu Xie and angrily said, "Wu Xie, who are you calling a fool?"

Wu Xie smiled, "Who knows who's a fool …"

However, before he finished speaking, he felt a sharp killing intent come from in front of him. The Battle Spirit that had been staring at Zi Chen suddenly turned its eyes to Wu Xie. Those indifferent eyes were now filled with an icy cold light.

Being stared at by the Battle Spirit, Wu Xie felt something was wrong. He subconsciously wanted to draw far away.

But it was too late. In front of him, the Battle Spirit's right hand had already grasped the hilt of his saber. With a resounding saber cry, the entire space became dazzling. A blinding saber light tore through the air, cutting down at Wu Xie.

Seeing the Battle Spirit attack him, Wu Xie was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He pushed his defenses to the limit.

Puff!

The saber light turned into a straight line, passing right in front of Wu Xie. In front of this saber light, his defenses were as weak as paper.

The saber light broke through his defenses and cut apart Wu Xie's body.

The saber light dissipated and the light between the heavens and earth vanished. The world returned to normal once more.

The black-robed Battle Spirit still held the scabbard in his left hand. At some unknown time, the saber had returned to its scabbard. Just like before, it was as if he had never attacked. But dozens of miles away, Wu Xie had already been cut in half.

The scene was deathly silent. Even the sound of breathing seemed to have stopped.

Wu Xie's body that had been cut in half fell to the ground from both sides. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

As for Man Shi and the others, they were dripping with a cold sweat. It was clear that if those words came from their mouths, they would have been cut in half like Wu Xie.

For better or worse, Wu Xie still had his undying body so he wouldn't die. But if it were them, they wouldn't have survived.

Zi Chen was also shivering. He had been in front of the Battle Spirit and hadn't been able to respond to that strike. If that strike had been aimed at him, then even if he didn't die, he would still be severely wounded.

A chill surged in his heart. He no longer dared to have any thoughts about this supreme treasure. However, there was also a trace of doubt in his heart. Why would such a powerful existence appear in this area?

However, just as Zi Chen was about to retreat, the Battle Spirit's eyes fell on him once more. This time, the eyes were no longer indifferent and cold. Instead, there was a trace of ridicule in them.

Looking at that intelligent expression, Zi Chen was so scared that his soul almost left his body. He wished he could turn around and run away.

However, a murderous intent locked onto Zi Chen. Zi Chen felt that as long as he moved, the saber with the scabbard would also move.

Just as he was at a loss of what to do and even a little flustered in his heart, the Battle Spirit spoke. "Do you think I'm stupid?"

The cold words didn't carry the slightest emotion.

Zi Chen hurriedly shook his head. "No, no senior."

"No? Then why did you pick up the Spirit Gathering Pearl? Could it be that you didn't plan on picking it up and then dealing with me?"

Zi Chen shook his head like a rattle drum. He hurriedly explained, "No, I just wanted to pick it up and then leave this place."

"Leave." The black-robed Battle Spirit smiled in ridicule. "You didn't take the supreme treasure and yet you are willing to leave."

As he spoke, the black-robed Battle Spirit's hand gripped the scabbard as if he could attack at any moment.

Zi Chen felt a sense of danger from the black-robed Battle Spirit, a sense of life and death. He shook his head again and explained, "I'm willing. Heavenly materials belong to those who are fated to obtain them. It's clear that we aren't fated to have them, so we have to leave."

"Really." The black-robed Battle Spirit smiled in ridicule.

"Really."

Zi Chen sincerely nodded. But in the depths of his pitch black eyes, there was a trace of ruthlessness.
