Chapter 156

The diamond was only the size of a fist. In Zi Chen's hand, it emitted a faint golden light. It was very sturdy and blocked the monk's killing blow for Zi Chen.

Looking at the diamond, the eyes of the geniuses turned red. Their breathing quickened as greed rose from the bottom of their hearts.

If a diamond the size of a finger was a treasure, then a diamond the size of a fist was a treasure among treasures. Its value was immeasurable.

Not to mention Zephyr powerhouses, even Sect Masters and secluded Elders would be moved and go crazy for it.

Chen Zi actually had such a thing. These geniuses couldn't sit still. Although they couldn't do something like snatching it, they were prepared to go back and tell the news to their families. One had to know that this was a real treasure. It was far more valuable than the treasures in the ruins.

His rapid breathing entered Zi Chen's ears. He staggered to his feet and cursed in his heart. He had just escaped a calamity and now there was an even greater calamity waiting for him.

The killing intent in the monk's eyes had dissipated. He stared at the diamond in Zi Chen's hand like a dog looking at a pile of shit.

"Since you don't have anything, you can use this as a bargaining chip." The monk said indifferently. His voice softened a lot as he rushed toward Zi Chen again.

"Again."

Zi Chen glared. He couldn't hold on any longer. He didn't expect this greedy monk to have the diamond in his hand.

"Clang."

He waved his hand and used the diamond as a brick. He smashed it toward the monk's head. The diamond was extremely heavy. It was extraordinary.

"Boom."

After a strong blow, Zi Chen was pushed back again. The difference in strength was too big. Zi Chen was no match for the monk.

"Kill him, kill him."

Ling Yun and Chen Feng looked at Zi Chen with hatred. They hoped that the monk would kill him.

However, Zi Chen was like an unkillable cockroach. He kept blocking. Although he was coughing up blood, he was still lively.

"That's a diamond."

At this moment, the geniuses no longer cared about Zi Chen's death. In their eyes, there was only the diamond, a treasure among treasures. They were thinking about how to obtain it.

"Eh, that's not right. This isn't a diamond."

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out. After Tyrant forced Zi Chen back again, he did not attack again. Instead, he stared at the diamond in Zi Chen's hand.

"The diamond is incomparably heavy. It's only the length of a finger, yet it weighs thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms. The one in your hand is as big as your fist, so it must weigh at least hundreds of thousands of kilograms. How could you possibly carry it?" The monk questioned. Golden light appeared in his eyes again as he scanned the diamond.

"That's right, diamond is extremely heavy."

"I remember now. The diamond contains Gold Essence and is very heavy. Even I can't carry a piece the size of a finger."

"No, that's not right. A diamond should be shining with golden light, like a golden sun. It should be so dazzling that people can't open their eyes. But the one in Chen's hand is only emitting a faint golden light. It's not a diamond."

Everyone realized that something was wrong and spoke out one by one.

"Oh, so it's a piece of trash. Although it's incomparably tough, it has lost its most important function."

The golden light in Tyrant's eyes dissipated, and a hint of disappointment appeared. He thought that it was a treasure among treasures. But who knew that after losing the Gold Essence, this treasure would be greatly weakened.

"After losing the Gold Essence, it's just a sturdy rock. It's not that useful anymore."

"What a pity. It was originally a treasure, but now it's nothing. What a pity."

The geniuses were extremely disappointed.

"Haha, that's good too. This monk must have come for the diamond. Now he has misjudged it." Miao Kong smiled faintly, as if he was gloating.

"That's right. It's a great joy to see this monk suffer." Everyone gritted their teeth.

"This monk is always sneaking around. Last time, Li Huo lost something in your house. Don't tell me it was this guy who did it?"

Suddenly, one of the geniuses spoke out casually.

When the diamond appeared, Li Huo had already forgotten about it. Now that it was mentioned again, he frowned once more. No one knew what he was thinking about.

"I don't care about such a broken thing. Now, return it to me." Tyrant said.

"Monk, you're despicable." Zi Chen held the diamond as blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. He was in a sorry state and was severely injured.

Tyrant was furious. Green smoke rose from his body as he said, "You're the despicable one. Return it to me."

"What is it? I don't know." Zi Chen was still stubborn.

"Then you're courting death." Tyrant's eyes were filled with killing intent again.

"Monk, you're trying to silence me. Since you're so ruthless, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Impolite? Show me what you have." Tyrant was extremely disdainful. For the sake of a supreme secret manual, Tyrant had lost his image as a monk.

"If you're heartless, don't blame me for being heartless." Zi Chen was not polite either. His voice was cold.

"Haha, kid, what kind of friendship do you have with me? If you don't hand it over, today will be the day you die." Tyrant laughed out loud. Killing intent appeared in his eyes and he was about to attack.

"Wait." Zi Chen stopped him. "I admit that I've seen you before."

"Haha, you finally admit it. Hand it over." Tyrant stretched out his hand and laughed out loud.

The expressions of the others changed. It seemed like the two of them really had some grudges.

"I don't know what it is but I admit that I saw something I shouldn't have." Zi Chen looked at Tyrant warily, afraid that he would suddenly kill him.

"What shouldn't you have seen? I, Evil Good Monk, do things openly. Don't try to deny it. Return it to me." Tyrant said firmly. However, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Now that things have come to this, you're still asking for it. If I don't give it to you, you'll definitely kill me."

"That's right. If you don't hand it over, you'll definitely die." Tyrant was very sure.

"What a good monk," said Zi Chen coldly. "I didn't expect you to be so venomous. All I saw was you handing out flyers on the streets all day, looking for a black brat. Why did you have to be so ruthless?"

"You're courting death." Tyrant was angry.

"Why is Evil Good Monk looking for a black kid?"

"Why is he handing out leaflets all day looking for him? Does that black kid have some background?"

Everyone was puzzled and listened quietly.

"Okay, okay, okay. Let's not talk about this first. I don't know why you want to kill me. Is it because I saw you spend a few hundred vitality stones to buy a wrinkled and old-fashioned Firmament Palm from a young man?" Zi Chen said again. Although it seemed to be an understatement, his words shocked the entire Cangli City.

Firmament Palm was originally an ordinary battle skill that many people looked down on. However, Cangli City's Li Family had lost a precious treasure and sealed the city for twenty days. After that, they bought the Firmament Palm at a high price.

An ordinary Firmament Palm seemed to have become a taboo.

"Firmament Palm, wrinkled, bought with a few hundred vitality stones."

Everyone's expression changed as they glanced at Evil Good Monk. As for Li Huo, his eyes flickered as if he was thinking of something.

"This monk is famous for being stingy. How could he spend a few hundred vitality stones to buy a manual of Firmament Palm?"

"That's right. This doesn't make sense. It's just a manual of Firmament Palm. It's only worth a dozen vitality stones at most."

Some of the geniuses were doubtful.

Only Cang He, Wu Xiong, Miao Kong, and the others knew what was going on. Their expressions changed rapidly as they stared at Tyrant Monk with unfriendly gazes.

"Kid, don't you dare slander me." Tyrant Monk sensed that something was not right. He did not expect Qin Nan to do this.

"Monk, apart from this, I really don't understand why you would want to kill me. Not only me, there were many people on the street. You seemed to want to leave with the young man, but he was unwilling to do so. You even said that it would cost you your lifespan, but the young man burst out laughing, saying that cultivators like us should go against the will of the Heavens. In the end, you had no choice but to take out a bag of vitality stones, which was at least a few hundred, and took the manual from the young man's hand. You even said that it was yours, right?"

Zi Chen stared at Tyrant Monk and asked coldly.

"Nonsense." Tyrant Monk was furious. If Li Huo and the others believed him, he would be done for.

"Humph, saying that I'm talking nonsense? Many people saw it. I'm a cultivator, and I heard your words. You turned into a ray of golden light, took the manual, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. You even said that you were an idiot when you were young." Zi Chen continued.

"Ah, kid, you're talking nonsense." Tyrant Monk was furious.

"I'm sure it's true. This monk keeps talking about wasting his lifespan. He's usually stingy and never loses out. But he took out a few hundred vitality stones to buy the Firmament Palm. Could it be that the Firmament Palm is not ordinary?"

Someone spoke at the right time.

As for Cang He and the others, their faces changed. At this moment, they thought of many things.

Tyrant Monk could not defend himself. He was so angry that he instantly attacked. However, Zi Chen used the diamond as a brick and kept blocking. The previous conversation had caused a steady flow of energy to enter his heart, and his injuries were much better.

"Boom!"

The battle broke out again. Tyrant Monk was determined to kill Zi Chen.

"What? You want to kill me because of this?" Zi Chen flew back. "I only saw it. And I'm not the only one who saw it that day."

Suddenly, Zi Chen's face changed. He said, "Could it be that you killed everyone? You're really vicious. There were many mortals among them."

"Ah, I want you dead." Tyrant Monk's attack was incomparably fierce, not allowing Zi Chen to continue.

"It's you, it's you, isn't it? That day, you were wearing a hat. I thought that you were a fool to wear a hat on such a hot day. However, you were doing that to conceal your bald head. You were wearing loose clothes, and appeared to be extraordinarily powerful. However, you were actually doing that to conceal your big belly. Am I right?"

"It's you. You've been sneaking around all day. When you saw me coming back, you thought I had a treasure on me and wanted to steal it, right?"

"You were the one who deliberately blocked in front of me and let the Crimson Tiger knock into you. You staggered and fell beside me, so I kicked you twice, right?"

"It's you, it must be you. If it was someone else, they would have been torn apart by Chi Hu."

Li Huo became angrier as he spoke. "It's you. You stole my Firmament Palm, right?"

Tyrant Monk's face changed. "What nonsense are you talking about? Listen to this kid's nonsense."

"Humph, whether it's nonsense or not, we'll know once we ask Chi Hu to test it. It felt your aura that day." Li Huo roared.
