Chapter 1582

Sounds of battle could be heard from the forest.

There were roars of humans, roars of beasts, cries of alarm, and screams of agony.

"Activate the formation, don't let it escape!"

"This damned thing, we must surround it!"

"Hold the position well and trap it!"

The humans roared again and again. Energy vibrations could be heard in the forest. Kacha sounds could be heard continuously as large swathes of ancient trees broke and fell. Another swath of ancient trees was smashed down.

Zi Chen spread his spiritual senses to the battlefield and saw five humans surrounding a Level Four beast. Three of them were Level Four while the other two were Level Three. There were also three corpses not far away.

In a life and death battle between humans and beasts of the same level, the beasts usually won.

However, in Zi Chen's opinion, the beast must have ambushed them.

The Level Four beast was a five-meter-long leopard with sparkling blue light all over its body. It was like a bolt of blue lightning that kept flashing between them.

The five of them had a strange symbol on their bodies. They stood far away in five different directions. Every time Lan Bao appeared in front of them, the symbol would light up and form a light screen to block Lan Bao.

Lan Bao shuttled back and forth in five different directions but was unable to break through the light screen.

The five of them were pleased with themselves.

Zi Chen carefully probed with his spiritual senses and sensed the critical point at which the symbol could withstand the power. For a Level Four beast like Lan Bao, such a defense was not indestructible. He suspected that Lan Bao was deliberately toying with them.

Just as the four of them were pleased with themselves, Lan Bao's cold eyes flashed with a hint of mockery.

He turned into a bolt of lightning and appeared in front of a Level Three Domain Realm in the blink of an eye. He opened his bloody mouth and bit at the Level Three Domain Realm cultivator.

His sharp fangs flashed with a cold light.

The symbol in front of the Level Three Domain Realm cultivator lit up and formed a layer of protection. The Level Three Domain Realm cultivator seemed to feel that this attack was very dangerous, so he added another layer of protection for himself.

However, these two layers of protection were nothing in front of Lan Bao. The terrifying bite instantly penetrated the two layers of protection and broke the Level Three Domain Realm cultivator's neck.

Fresh blood spurted from the headless body as Lan Bao swallowed the Level Three Domain Realm cultivator's head.

This scene happened very quickly, to the extent that the other four had a hint of astonishment on their faces.

Lan Bao did not flee when the formation was broken. Instead, he charged towards the second Third Domain Realm cultivator.

Lan Bao's figure flashed again and arrived in front of the second Third Domain Realm expert.

The third-stage Domain Realm expert only saw a blur in front of his eyes before Lan Bao had already left. He was thinking complacently whether Lan Bao was afraid of them and had turned to flee.

Suddenly, he felt a piercing pain. He looked down and saw a bloody hole in his chest. Pieces of his internal organs mixed with blood flowed out of the hole.

The third-stage Domain Realm cultivator was horrified. Then, his vision turned black and he lost consciousness.

"Die!" With a cold shout, a terrifying power attacked Lan Bao.

The latter's figure flashed, and his entire body shone with blue light. He broke free from the spatial pressure that enveloped him, and dodged the attack.

A terrifying energy exploded nearby. Lan Bao glanced at the three fourth-stage Domain Realm cultivators with a mocking look before turning around and disappearing into a bolt of lightning.

"Chase!"

In the blink of an eye, they had lost five people. The three fourth domain realm cultivators were unwilling to accept the loss. After collecting the corpses of their companions, they immediately gave chase.

Although both parties were at the same level, their speed couldn't be compared to Lan Bao's. In the blink of an eye, Lan Bao had left them behind.

Lan Bao, who was moving forward, seemed a little proud. He even intentionally waited for the three people behind him while thinking about how to kill all three of them.

After all, the three of them could still pose a threat to him if they joined forces.

Suddenly, Lan Bao saw a human appear in front of him. The human had his back facing him and was carrying a black spear on his back.

Lan Bao's movements were silent, so the human didn't notice it.

Looking at the human's back, a hint of cruelty appeared in Lan Bao's eyes. Lan Bao moved forward cautiously for dozens of meters. Then, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged toward the human in front of him.

The human seemed to have sensed the danger, and the spear on his back trembled slightly.

However, Lan Bao was only a few meters away from the human at that moment. Such a short time was enough for him to kill the human.

However, just as Lan Bao's attack was about to reach the back of the human's head, he suddenly saw the human in front of him move. He actually turned from his back to facing Lan Bao.

The human's eyes were very calm, but there was more indifference in this calmness. Lan Bao was very clear about this gaze. It had used the same gaze when it had looked at the two third-stage Domain Realm cultivators.

This was the gaze that one would use when looking at a dead person.

Immediately after, the human disappeared in front of Lan Bao's eyes. It wasn't that the human had run away, but that a black spear light had blocked Lan Bao's vision.

The moment the spear light appeared, it filled Lan Bao's entire vision. There was only the spear in Lan Bao's eyes, and nothing else.

The spear light was moving forward, but it seemed to be spinning. The energy around Lan Bao's body was completely drained in an instant. Then, the spear pierced towards Lan Bao.

In a daze, Lan Bao seemed to see the majestic figure of a dragon in the spear light, exuding a vast dragon's might. Lan Bao's eyes were filled with fear and shock.

"Bang!"

The spear instantly touched Lan Bao's forehead. The Collapse Formula was vividly displayed, and Lan Bao's head instantly exploded.

Fresh blood and minced meat splattered in all directions, but they all avoided the black-clothed youth.

From afar, the three fourth-stage Domain Realm cultivators heard a tremor. When they arrived, Lan Bao was already completely dead. Two meters away from Lan Bao stood a black-clothed youth holding a spear.

The three of them didn't sense any energy fluctuations from the youth, but the fourth-stage Black Panther had died in front of him. It was only a sound, and it was probably an instant kill.

The three of them looked at each other and saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes.

After glancing at the three humans, Zi Chen walked towards Lan Bao's corpse. The three humans' expressions changed again, and there was a hint of nervousness in their dignified expressions.

With a flash of sword qi, Zi Chen cut off one of Lan Bao's hind legs. Then, he carried it and walked into the distance.

Looking at the black-clothed youth who turned around and left, the three of them looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

One had to know that the most valuable part of Lan Bao's body wasn't the hind leg, but the soul essence in his body.

That was the source of Lan Bao's power, and it was equivalent to the human's domain world.

The three of them extended their spiritual senses and found that the human had actually gone far away. Only then did they look at each other. One of them said, "Let's go and see if the thing is still there."

One of them flashed forward. Before he could cut open Lan Bao's corpse, he saw a glowing crystal from Lan Bao's exploded neck.

Inside the crystal, he could vaguely see a small Lan Bao struggling in pain.

"It's still here!" The Domain Realm expert picked up the soul essence and waved at the other two.

"Who the hell is this person? How could he not want the soul essence of a fourth-stage Warbeast?" The two of them stepped forward, their faces full of shock.

They had come to this mountain range to kill king-level Warbeasts and use their soul essences to cultivate.

Although they were all fourth-stage Warbeasts, they usually used third-stage or second-stage Soul Essences. A fourth-stage Soul Essence was definitely a huge amount of wealth in their eyes.

But why didn't that human want the fourth-stage Soul Essence?

They found it hard to believe, but it was nothing to Zi Chen.

After reaching the sixth-stage, even a sixth-stage Soul Essence wouldn't be of much use to him, let alone a fourth-stage Soul Essence. Unless it was a seventh-stage Soul Essence or higher.

This was also the main reason why Zi Chen rarely killed Warbeasts when he was training in the forest. Even if he was greedy, he would only cut off a piece of meat from his opponent's body.

After all, the meat could still grow back, but if it died, there would be nothing left.

Just as the three of them were guessing whether this was the black-clothed young man's scheme, they smelled the aroma of meat in the forest.

"He's barbecuing meat?"

When they extended their spiritual senses again, Zi Chen was already five kilometers away, roasting the half of the Leopard's leg from before.

Using their spiritual senses, they saw that the black-clothed young man was very focused on roasting meat. Every turn seemed to be very particular.

The expressions of the three of them changed again. One of them said, "Let's go!"

"Where are we going?" the other two asked.

"Return it to him," the first said.

"Are you crazy, Ke Lei?"

"He can kill a fourth-stage Warbeast in one hit. You dare to take his things? I think you're the crazy one!"

Ke Lei snatched the fourth-stage Soul Essence and flew towards the direction where the aroma of meat was coming from.

The other two had no choice but to follow.

For the three of them, a distance of five kilometers could be covered in a few breaths.

Ke Lei appeared twenty meters away from Zi Chen and took out the fourth-stage Soul Essence from before. He bowed respectfully and said, "Master Ranker, you forgot something."

Zi Chen was still focused on roasting meat and didn't pay attention to Ke Lei.

The other two followed and stood behind Ke Lei cautiously.

Zi Chen didn't say anything. The three of them didn't dare to move. It was as if a huge mountain was hanging over their heads, and they felt extremely pressured.

Just as Ke Lei's body became stiff and was about to lose consciousness, an indifferent voice finally sounded. "I'll give it to you."

The three of them heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't even care about the fourth-stage Soul Essence. In their hearts, they were even more certain that this was an amazing Ranker.

The aroma of the roasted meat became stronger and stronger. The three of them, who had just relaxed, couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Their eyes were fixed on the piece of roasted meat that was gradually turning golden.

"I can give you the item, but not the roasted meat!

If you want to eat it, roast it yourself! "Zi Chen's unquestionable voice sounded again.

The three of them looked at each other and a hint of joy appeared in their eyes.

Obviously, Master Ranker didn't mind them staying here.

One of them went back and brought the other three leopard legs. After washing them not far away, he went to the charcoal fire.

At this moment, Zi Chen had already finished roasting the meat. He leaned against a big rock and sat alone. He didn't have the slightest intention to share with the three of them.

After a while, the other three also finished roasting the meat. They sat together and ate the roasted meat. One of them carefully asked, "Master, have you always been in this mountain range?"

"Hm?" Zi Chen's gaze swept across the three of them.

Ke Lei hurriedly said, "Master, please don't misunderstand. We're just curious. At the same time, we also want to ask you about a person. He's from the Shuntian Prefecture."

"Oh, what a coincidence. I'm also from the Shuntian Prefecture," Zi Chen said indifferently.

Ke Lei said somewhat cautiously, "That's really too much of a coincidence. That person's name is Zi Chen. I wonder if you know him?

He's from the Shuntian Prefecture and Huping City. "
