Chapter 1561
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
When the four of them arrived, there was no verbal communication, but they had a clear division of labor.
Yan Ji launched an attack, and Zi Chen was pierced between his eyebrows.
Li Ruo went to snatch Zi Chen's diamond-shaped crystal, while the other three went to get their own diamond-shaped crystals.
During this time, they didn't communicate with words, but it was important to remember that apart from words, they also had spiritual thoughts.
"Huping City. I didn't expect it to really be Huping City." This was the first spiritual thought that sounded after Zi Chen's group of five appeared. It came from Wu Chengde.
"It's fate that we met. Everyone, I'm very interested in Huping City's ranking. What do you think?" Yan Ji sent out a second spiritual thought.
"We don't care about Huping City's ranking. Don't ruin things. We'll talk about it after we gather the crystals," Li Ruo said coldly. This was the third one.
"The crystals are of course the most important. We still need to discuss this matter with everyone. After all, we should have suffered some losses in taking down Huping City's people. We need everyone to work together."
"You're quite the schemer. You want us to be your hired thugs." Li Ruo sneered.
"Everyone, let's attack together. I don't want Huping City's share. I only want the ranking."
After a short exchange of words, the four forces finished their discussion. Then, Yan Ji volunteered to be the first to attack.
The cultivators from Huping City and Shuntian Prefecture exclaimed when they saw Zi Chen fall after a sneak attack.
"A gentleman's agreement? What nonsense."
"What a bunch of despicable and shameless villains."
"Sixth Stage against Fourth Stage, and they even used a sneak attack. This Zi Chen is probably dead."
"What kind of world is this? That Zi Chen actually foolishly believed in a gentleman's agreement. He deserved to be sneak attacked."
For a moment, all kinds of voices were heard.
Seeing this, Mo Ling curled his lips and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Now that I think about it, it's quite interesting." Beside the Prefecture Master, the elegant middle-aged man who had been watching this scene chuckled.
The curses that resounded in Shuntian Prefecture and Huping City stopped abruptly. Then, an even louder cry rang out.
On the screen, Yan Ji of Yanbo Castle's head suddenly left his body.
His sneer and complacent expression instantly froze. He had only managed to grab the crystal that belonged to him, but in the next moment, he felt himself flying up, and then he saw a very familiar headless corpse spurting out blood.
While he was still in shock, he saw a figure that should have fallen behind the headless corpse. The figure was holding a saber in his hand, a saber that flickered with a cold light.
"Damn it, it's Zi Chen."
He cursed angrily, but could only watch as Zi Chen took the crystal that belonged to him from his hand.
Swoosh.
Afterward, a dazzling light flashed. In the instant that Yan Ji lost consciousness, the medallion on his body exploded, and he was forcibly teleported to the outside world.
His Entry Token fell out, and there were 755 Luck Points in it.
This scene also happened very quickly, so quickly that it was inconceivable.
While the three of them were slightly stunned, Zi Chen took the crystal and retreated smoothly. He then regrouped with Man Shi and the others.
One must always be vigilant against others. This was Zi Chen's style all along.
Zi Chen, who was used to deceiving and deceiving each other, would not believe in a gentleman's agreement.
Moreover, Zi Chen had only just learned of Yan Ji's identity.
While the few of them were moving forward, Dong Qing did not stay idle. She pointed out the identities of the four forces one by one.
This was information that she had deliberately collected some time ago.
Back then, she had already given up hope that Zi Chen would come. She only hoped to know the enemy as well as herself.
Previously, when Zi Chen sprained his ankle, he had borrowed the power of his doppelgänger to come up with a scheme within a scheme.
This sudden change caused the people in the outside world to be incomparably stunned. Then, there was an earth-shattering shout.
This scheme within a scheme had come at a wonderful time.
Yanbo Castle's five people had already lost one of their own.
"As expected of Zi Chen. What a good scheme." When the three leaders came to their senses, their expressions instantly turned ugly.
Rays of light flashed. Zi Chen's group was immediately surrounded by others. Among them, four cultivators from Yanbo Castle looked at Zi Chen with eyes full of anger. They wanted nothing more than to tear Zi Chen to pieces.
Yan Ji had not died at the critical moment and disappeared from this world. This meant that he had lost the opportunity to fight for a higher ranking. Now, with only four people left, if they encountered any of the five forces, they would be in danger of being completely annihilated.
It could be said that Zi Chen's attack just now had completely destroyed Yanbo Castle's future.
The people of Yanbo Castle, who had been unable to contain their excitement, saw Yan Ji teleport away through the light screen. The huge city immediately fell into a deathly silence.
After a few breaths of time, angry curses began to ring out.
The reason for everyone's curses was actually Zi Chen's treacherous and cunning.
In the small world, Zi Chen had succeeded in his scheme. Li Meng's expression was very ugly. He stared at Zi Chen and said coldly, "Zi Chen, if you know what's good for you, quickly hand over the crystal. I can still give you a chance to escape unscathed. Otherwise, all of you can leave."
The other two leaders' expressions were also very ugly.
Zi Chen looked at the three leaders and said calmly, "You are indeed people who will do anything to achieve your goals. The four of you schemed against me, and you even launched a sneak attack. Although I, Zi Chen, am an ordinary fighter and my realm is not high, if you succeed in your scheme, then not only will I lose face, but I will also lose face for Huping Castle."
"Are you going to fight to the end? Five against 64. How confident are you?" Li Meng smiled coldly.
Zi Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not even 65% confident."
Li Meng smiled proudly and said, "Then you know what's good for you … What, are you going to give up?"
When the proud Li Meng saw Zi Chen suddenly take out the token that represented giving up, a hint of mockery appeared on his face again.
Zi Chen smiled gently and said calmly, "Indeed, I'm not even 65% confident. But as I said earlier, I really can't afford to lose face like this."
Just as everyone was dumbfounded, Zi Chen raised his hand and threw out the teleportation medallion. There was a hint of determination in his calm eyes as he said in a clear voice, "For my face, for Hu Ping City's face, even though I know there is no chance of victory, I still have to fight. I have decided to use my life to protect my dignity. Do you dare to fight to the death?"
"Do you dare to fight to the death?"
Zi Chen's sonorous and forceful words reverberated through Shuntian Prefecture and Huping Castle. For a moment, everyone's blood boiled as they cheered loudly.
In Huping Castle, Lord Wu, Ling Xing, and the others were already in tears. Zi Chen had done this for Huping Castle again.
"Clap." "Clap." "Clap." "Clap."
Another four sounds came from the light screen. It was the two men and two women behind Zi Chen who threw out the teleportation tokens in their hands. Their gazes were as firm as Zi Chen's.
There was only one sentence in their firm gazes: Do you dare to fight to the death?
The nineteen people in the surroundings were all dumbfounded by this scene.
It was clearly just a battle without killing anyone. How did it become a battle to the death?
However, they were not fools. In such a favorable situation, who would be foolish enough to fight to the death?
Li Meng coldly snorted and said, "Zi Chen, don't waste your time. Right now, our chances of victory are greater. Why should we fight to the death with you? It's fine if you seek your own death and don't leave yourself a chance of survival. However, we reserve the right to use the teleportation tokens."
Without a doubt, Li Meng's words caused a huge uproar in Shuntian Prefecture.
"This guy with no balls and no balls is even inferior to a woman."
"Which city is this guy from? He's really shameless. He even dares to fight to the death with a woman, but they don't."
"Not only is he despicable and shameless, but he's also a coward."
While the crowd was cursing, some of the more rational people kept nodding their heads. They were very appreciative of Li Meng's actions.
Hu Pingcheng's group of five already had no way out. They were like cornered dogs jumping over a wall. Why should they cut off their own path of retreat?
Zi Chen smiled proudly and said, "This is our attitude. As for whether you participate or not, it doesn't matter. I just want to tell you that the reason why that guy from Yanbo Castle didn't die wasn't because he was lucky. It was because I acted appropriately and didn't take their lives. If we fight later, our lives will be up to fate. However, at the same time, we will kill because the environment doesn't allow us to hold back."
Everyone's expression changed. Li Meng said disdainfully, "You dare to boast that you can kill people? The reason Yanji left was because of your sneak attack."
Zi Chen shook his head and said, "It's useless to say more. Right now, you are Zi Chen's mortal enemies. You can either leave the crystal and retreat, kill us, or be killed by us."
"Arrogant. Die."
Li Meng sneered and rushed toward Zi Chen. The aura of the peak of the sixth layer surged. The power of the Domain World surrounded his body. A powerful pressure swept toward Zi Chen.
Zi Chen's body glowed. The peak of the four-star Thunder King Physique was displayed. At the same time, the perfect Domain World protected his body. His eyes were cold and murderous as he rushed toward Li Meng.
In the process, Zi Chen didn't attack. He just rushed forward.
In Li Meng's eyes, this scene was purely suicidal.
Zi Chen's reputation in the 653 cities of Shuntian Prefecture was too great. It made Li Meng very jealous. Today, he had a chance to kill Zi Chen. Naturally, he wouldn't show mercy.
A sword appeared in his hand. The weapon spirit appeared in the sword, and the power of the longsword increased by several times.
Then, the power of the peak of the sixth layer was injected into the longsword. The sound of the sword rang out. Li Meng held the sword and stabbed toward Zi Chen's heart.
His eyes became cold. The corners of his mouth curled up. A sinister smile gradually spread.
"Puff."
The longsword hit Zi Chen. A huge resistance appeared, but the longsword still slowly broke through Zi Chen's defense and pierced Zi Chen's body.
However, this attack didn't hit Zi Chen's heart. Instead, it was three inches away.
Zi Chen's defense was surprisingly strong. This surprised Li Meng.
Then, Li Meng saw a shining saber light appear in front of him. This saber light was very bright but not dazzling. He could see that there were a total of four saber lights.
The first saber light fell on him and affected his defense. The strength of the attack made his expression change.
The second saber light appeared and directly broke his defense.
Li Meng was shocked.
