Chapter 1501

Lightning flashed around its body, and its eyes were as bright as Xing Chen's. Its powerful aura enveloped the entire space.

This aura was even stronger and more ferocious than the mountain spirit king's. It was like an awakened primordial beast.

Such a person seemed to be heavily injured and could die at any moment.

"Cunning human."

Astonishment flashed across the mountain spirit king's face. It instantly reacted and became angry from embarrassment, gnashing its teeth.

Zi Chen looked at the mountain spirit king and sneered, "Cunning mountain spirit."

"How did you know that I was hiding my true body?" The mountain spirit king was furious and asked unwillingly.

At this moment, it felt that the space around it was filled with a powerful pressure. This pressure made it unable to breathe, and it also made it unable to move. It was just like how it had suppressed the human to the ground. But now, everything was reversed. The human had the upper hand. As for the mountain spirit king, its kingly aura had already disappeared under this pressure.

Zi Chen looked at the mountain spirit king and laughed mockingly. "I want to say that I guessed. Do you believe me?"

Zi Chen's obvious bleeding wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. First, the bleeding stopped, then scabs formed. Then, the scabs fell off, and the white wounds were as good as new.

After refining the spiritual domain core and perfect domain seed, Zi Chen could be said to be number one among his peers. Apart from combat strength, Zi Chen, with his perfect physique, was naturally number one in terms of defense.

If it wasn't intentional, it would be impossible for the mountain spirit king to break through his defense.

However, if it used its strongest power right from the start, Zi Chen would only be able to kill the mountain spirit king's physical body. That was at most a clone. After seeing Zi Chen's strength, the mountain spirit king wouldn't appear. The other party was very cunning, but it was as timid as a mouse and was very cautious.

The Mountain Spirit King glared at Zi Chen with bitter resentment. His tried-and-tested moves against a battle spirit had actually failed against a human.

Compared to battle spirits, humans were indeed more cunning.

Guessing was naturally impossible. Zi Chen was able to detect the mountain spirit king's true body through his spiritual senses.

His spiritual senses were said to be perfect, without any flaws, so he could sense even the slightest difference.

Just as the black hole appeared, Zi Chen felt a powerful force. The source of this force was none other than the Mountain Spirit King. It enveloped five powerful existences at once, and it definitely required the Mountain Spirit King to personally take action.

However, as the others escaped one after another and Zi Chen was brought to this place, the power displayed by the physical mountain spirit was slightly weaker than that. It was only slightly weaker, and it was very difficult for others to sense it. Only those with perfect spiritual senses could distinguish it.

After pondering for a moment, Zi Chen understood what had happened. That was why he had shown weakness in the previous battle.

"So what if you draw out my true body? You can kill me."

The Mountain Spirit King's expression turned cold. Its body began to tremble as traces of power appeared. It began to struggle.

Zi Chen shook his head. "Of course I can't kill you, because I never intended to."

"What do you mean?" The Mountain Spirit King was stunned.

"Although your combat strength is not strong, you are still useful. I plan to subdue you," Zi Chen said calmly.

"You want me to acknowledge you as my master? You must be dreaming," the Mountain Spirit King said coldly as it struggled even harder.

However, while it was struggling, it realized that its connection with its true body had disappeared.

It was similar to how a human's soul could not sense its own physical body.

"Stop struggling. It's useless. If you can escape from here, I'm willing to acknowledge you as my master." Zi Chen smiled mockingly.

The Mountain Spirit King raised its head and saw that there was another space in the space that originally belonged to it. This space was very small, only three meters wide. However, it was like an independent world that was isolated from the outside world.

"You …" The Mountain Spirit King's expression changed instantly. There was finally fear in its eyes.

Zi Chen smiled coldly and sat cross-legged in the three-meter space. His perfect spiritual senses left his mind and probed the Mountain Spirit King's soul …

This was the main reason why Zi Chen chose to come here. Zi Chen had learned how to control souls from Longhu.

Outside the mountain, everyone was waiting patiently after knowing Zi Chen's intention.

However, the waiting time was a little too long.

The mountain was still dead silent. There was not much energy fluctuation during this period. Everyone's expression gradually became uneasy.

Outside, a group of battle spirits from the Tongyou Tower were also staring at the mountain. They were all under great pressure.

As the leader of Zi Chen's team, his combat strength was undoubtedly the strongest among the group. If Zi Chen died here, there was no need for them to continue the rest of the journey.

"Why isn't he out yet?"

Even the calm old man who knew a little about Zi Chen had a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

It was not that he did not believe in Zi Chen. On the contrary, he was very confident in Zi Chen after witnessing the consumption of Zi Chen's cultivation. He even had full confidence in the journey.

He was not afraid that Zi Chen's strength was not enough, but he was worried that Zi Chen would be careless. A careless mistake at a crucial moment could result in immeasurable losses.

Outside the mountain, the cultivators who had been waiting for two days had anxious and worried expressions on their faces.

No one dared to imagine the consequences if Qin Nan did not come out for two days. Luckily, the mountain did not attack them. Otherwise, they would be in despair.

"Zi Chen will be fine."

While everyone was feeling uneasy after not showing up for two days, Shangguan Hong was confident in Zi Chen.

Dong Qing nodded gently. There was no worry in her eyes or face. She also believed in Zi Chen.

"Zi Chen is very lucky. Zi Chen has been able to pass through many fatal situations. A mere mountain can't do anything to Zi Chen." Man Shi curled his lips in disdain. He was not worried that something would happen to Zi Chen.

The twins and Wu Xie were the same.

Seeing that Zi Chen's friends were all confident in Zi Chen, the anxiety in the others' hearts gradually dissipated.

Just like that, everyone waited for another two days. Zi Chen still did not appear.

"Four days. There's been no movement for four days. Could something have happened to Zi Chen?"

Someone frowned and had a bad feeling.

"It's hard to say. It's been four days, but the mountain hasn't attacked again."

Someone was not concerned.

"But there's still no movement. Could it be that they died together?"

"If they died together, then the mountain should have disappeared."

Most of the cultivators' trust in Zi Chen ended here. All kinds of guesses followed one after another.

There were even some cultivators who wanted to see the world in chaos and suggested that a new leader should be chosen.

"Shut up, all of you!" An angry roar sounded. It came from Ba Dao, who was in the sky.

As guides, the three Battle Spirits had not made a single move. However, this did not stop the group from revering them.

After Ba Dao finished speaking, the discussions behind him also disappeared. Ba Dao looked around and said coldly, "The only leader here is Zi Chen, and he can only be Zi Chen. If Zi Chen is alive, everyone will still have a chance to live. If Zi Chen is dead, then you can forget about ever going back."

Although no one knew whether it was true or not, after hearing this, the crowd was still in an uproar.

Facing the confused crowd, Ba Dao clearly had no intention of explaining. He just smiled coldly and said, "Now, you'd better pray that Zi Chen is still alive. Otherwise, you'll all be buried together with Zi Chen."

The expressions of the people who were still discussing animatedly and making sarcastic remarks became very ugly. They no longer muttered carelessly, as if they were really praying for Zi Chen to come out alive.

"Logically speaking, he should have come out long ago. There must be a reason why he hasn't returned yet," Hammer said. There was no nervousness or worry in his voice.

"You seem to have a lot of confidence in Zi Chen," Shan Lei teased.

"Along the way, other than being surprised by Zi Chen's combat strength, I also admire his intelligence. Putting aside his combat strength, there is no one present who can surpass Zi Chen in terms of intelligence. Even if you beat me to death, I will not believe that he will be buried here due to his carelessness." Hammer laughed.

"In that case, let's wait for him to come out and see what he's up to," Shan Lei said casually.

"Weng."

Suddenly, a light tremble sounded.

The tremble came from the front, from the mountain peak that seemed to be supporting the sky.

Everyone's attention was instantly attracted. They all looked forward.

Then, they saw a big black hole.

They were very familiar with this big hole. It was the unique attack of the mountain peak.

Seeing this big hole again, everyone fell into despair.

"Impossible." Shangguan Hong's beautiful eyes widened.

"This is impossible. How could anything happen to Zi Chen?" Dong Qing also had a face of disbelief.

Similarly, Man Shi and the others also looked at the black hole in disbelief.

The expressions of the few titled people also changed.

A stunned expression appeared on the faces of Zhong Chui and the other two.

Could it be that Zi Chen was really dead?

When the people outside saw the black hole, they were all dumbfounded.

Dead. Zi Chen was really dead.

Those who had a grudge against Zi Chen should be happy to see this result.

However, at this moment, not only were they not happy, but they also had a look of despair on their faces.

Zi Chen was dead. They would not be able to get out alive. They would be buried with Zi Chen.

"That damned Zi Chen. He's dead and he still wants to drag me down with him." In the crowd, Ye Ming cursed in his heart with a look of despair.

"Dead? How is this possible?"

Destiny Teller and the others looked at each other, all dumbfounded.

They had personally experienced the power of the black hole. Although it was very powerful, it should not be able to kill Zi Chen.

Not to mention Zi Chen, even if they entered, they might not die.

However, this was the truth.

When the black hole appeared, rays of energy light appeared. Next, it enveloped everyone and dragged them out.

Wait, where were the rays of energy?

Finally, someone noticed something strange. Although the black hole appeared, there were no rays of energy light.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at the black hole.

The rays of energy light appeared, but it did not attack. Instead, it appeared with a person.

"Sorry to have kept everyone waiting." Then, an apologetic voice came from the person's mouth.
