Chapter 1602

Clang!

After the clash, the two of them both retreated several steps.

Zi Chen was very surprised that the other party had such great strength, and this alien was even more surprised. Since when could a weak human be able to compete with the strong physical bodies of the beasts?

However, after the two of them stabilized themselves, they charged at each other again.

Switching the spear to his left hand, Zi Chen quickly stabbed out. At the same time, he drew his sword with his right hand, and a bright light flashed.

The Outsider roared. His feet left the ground, and he spun in the air, dodging Zi Chen's attack. At the same time, the spikes on the back of his hand clashed with the spear as he spun.

After missing, Zi Chen sheathed his sword and raised his spear, smashing it towards the Outsider's head.

"Bang."

The Outsider's feet dug deep into the ground. His legs bent, and the spikes on the back of his hand crossed, blocking Zi Chen's attack.

Zi Chen was very experienced in battle, and each of his attacks was fatal. The Dax Beast's reaction was also very fast. Not only did he block Zi Chen's attack, he even counterattacked.

The two of them exchanged blows, and the sound of clanging filled the air.

This was probably the first time Zi Chen had fought with someone of the same level for so long.

The strange being exerted force on both of his feet, his body tilted slightly as he crossed his arms. His whole body started to spin at an extreme speed. Ten sharp thorns drew perfect circles in the air, tearing the air apart, like a high-speed drill that was rushing towards Zi Chen.

Facing this attack, Zi Chen could only retreat again and again. The spear in his hand seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't use his full strength.

"Bang!" Zi Chen shouted, and a powerful force surged from his spear.

After using up ten percent of his strength, he finally stopped the Outsider's attack. Then, Zi Chen's spear stabbed towards the Outsider's chest like a poisonous dragon.

Clang!

The thorns on the back of the opponent's hand blocked Zi Chen's attack, and he borrowed the force to retreat. His steps were light, but just as his feet touched the ground, a loud rumble came from the ground. He once again shot straight towards Zi Chen, the thorns on the back of his hand spinning like a top.

This move made it very difficult for Zi Chen to deal with. However, in the next moment, he gritted his teeth and gripped the spear tightly with one hand. Light flashed on his feet as he started to run in circles with extreme speed.

The long spear drew a flat circle in response to the attacks coming from the opposite side. During this time, the long spear and the sharp thorns constantly collided, erupting into sonorous sounds.

It was obvious that Zi Chen, who was spinning in place, was faster than his opponent.

Just as his opponent's attacks slowed down, a cold light flashed in Zi Chen's eyes. His right hand, which had been gripping the hilt of his saber all this time, instantly pulled out his saber.

A flash of saber light drew an arc in the air and slashed at the alien.

"Bang!"

The alien flew backwards, a deep wound appearing on his chest. If he had not dodged in time, he would have been cut in half.

The sharpness of the black saber was far beyond the alien's imagination. He looked at the black saber that had returned to its scabbard with deep fear in his eyes.

Zi Chen was panting heavily. The alien was indeed difficult to deal with. The two of them were at the same level, but they were evenly matched.

However, the battle had already begun. After expending so much energy to wound the alien, Zi Chen would not let him go no matter what. He shook the spear in his hand and charged forward again.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

This time, Zi Chen continued to use the Collapse Word Formula. He did not care about the consumption of energy at all.

In the beginning, facing the powerful Zi Chen, the alien could still block and retreat while maintaining a stable center of gravity. However, as Zi Chen's attacks became more and more powerful, the retreating alien's center of gravity gradually became unstable.

"Swoosh!"

Zi Chen activated the Nine Deaths Thunder to the limit and instantly swept in front of the unsteady alien. Under the alien's shocked expression, Zi Chen pulled out his saber.

He beheaded the alien.

"Pfft!"

A leopard head flew high into the air. The headless corpse spurted blood and splashed Zi Chen all over.

The black saber's sharpness did not disappoint Zi Chen.

"Phew."

Zi Chen exhaled heavily. In a spurt of energy, he had almost exhausted all the energy in his body.

The battle had been going on for too long, and he could not stay here for too long. Zi Chen cut open the alien's chest as fast as he could and dug out the alien's heart.

The alien was already dead, but the heart was still beating vigorously. This was the source of the alien's strength, and its value far exceeded that of a human's Neidan.

As for the beating heart in Zi Chen's hand, it was worth about 75 to 05 spirit crystals. It was said that the alien's heart contained fragments of the laws that the alien had comprehended. If a human refined it, they might be able to comprehend those laws.

When the alien died, the stab in his back disappeared. This was a special ability of the alien. Humans had not found a corresponding method to deal with it.

Zi Chen took out a few things from his storage bag and forcefully put the alien's heart inside. Then he carried a full bag and a thick layer of fur as he sped back home.

During this time, Zi Chen was still refining spirit crystals.

He had gained quite a bit this time, and his bag was now full. There was no point in staying any longer.

Not long after Zi Chen left, another beast appeared. When he saw the corpse on the ground, his expression changed greatly.

"Whis is dead, and he was killed by a human." The beast's face was filled with disbelief.

One had to know that dozens of humans had died at Whis' hands, and there was no lack of late-stage seventh-tier existences among them.

Anyone who came to the Dax Plains alone wasn't considered a powerhouse among humans. Their strength was at most in the late seventh stage. Even if Whis couldn't win against such existences, it wouldn't be a problem for him to escape.

Whis often hunted in the outskirts. This time, he had discovered the aura left behind by a human. They had followed him all the way here, accurately determining the direction of the human and preparing to pincer the human.

According to the traces of battle, they judged that the human's battle strength was not strong. Looking at his dissection skills, he could even be considered a rookie. Either one of them would be able to kill such a person.

But now, the one who had died was actually Whis.

This alien, who was also from the leopard race, couldn't help but have a trace of fear on his face. He looked around, and after not finding any traces of humans, he hugged Whis' body and headed deeper into the Dax Plains.

On the way back, Zi Chen was still very careful. He hurried during the day and hid during the night.

After leaving the Dax Plains, he directly increased his speed.

He did not care about the consumption of energy at all, flying towards Imperial Sky City with all his might.

During this time, who knew how many people did not make it to Imperial Sky City alive after obtaining a great harvest.

When they were still a few miles away from the Royal Sky City, Zi Chen discovered traces of humans. These humans weren't strong, at most at the mid-phase of the seventh-level. They didn't have any confidence in killing the other races, hence, they started to target the humans, especially those who were returning from a rewarding journey.

When these people saw Zi Chen from afar, they couldn't help but be surprised.

When Zi Chen left, they already knew, but at that time, Aeschi and the other two had already followed him. Now that they saw him return alone, they thought about how long Aeschi and the other two had been missing, and guessed the answer.

Especially when they saw the weapon that belonged to Aeschi on Zi Chen's back, their expressions became very serious.

However, Zi Chen's harvest was not small. Just the pelts and the bag filled with cloth were worth a rough estimate of several tens of spirit crystals. This kind of wealth was enough for them to enjoy for a period of time.

Therefore, they were not afraid of Zi Chen and slowly approached him.

Zi Chen, who was flying at high speed, slowly came to a stop. The thick pelts on his spear were tied tightly behind his back. He held the spear in his left hand and the saber in his right hand. He looked at these people indifferently, and at the same time, he was silently calculating in his heart.

There were a total of eleven people, and they belonged to four different factions. Their teamwork was not very good.

While moving, Zi Chen had already found many loopholes and could guarantee a one-hit kill. However, with so many things on his body, it would greatly affect his speed.

If he put down his things to fight, they would undoubtedly be snatched away.

Without these things, Zi Chen could guarantee that these eleven people would slowly exhaust them to death. However, Zi Chen didn't dare to guarantee that they wouldn't take the things and run away after putting them down.

As long as they were within a thousand meters of Imperial Sky City, no one would be able to make a move, even if those things originally belonged to Zi Chen.

Although the most valuable things were placed in his interspatial pouch, the things he had on him were equivalent to several days of harvest. To a poor person like Zi Chen, giving up a few days of harvest was equivalent to asking for his life.

Therefore, he decided to risk it all. If he really couldn't do it, he would increase his speed and escape.

The eleven people spread out, keeping a certain distance from each other. They had sinister smiles on their faces as they slowly approached Zi Chen.

"Scram!"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar rang out from behind Zi Chen, causing everyone's expression to change drastically.

Of course, this included Zi Chen. He actually didn't notice that there was an additional person behind him. If the other party suddenly attacked him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Cold sweat instantly drenched his entire body, but Zi Chen's body was tensed up, and he couldn't even turn around.

He could feel a torrential baleful aura behind him. Although this baleful aura wasn't as dense as Longfei's, it was definitely much stronger than Zi Chen's.

"Lord Wharton."

"It's Lord Wharton."

The eleven people raised their heads and saw a bald muscular man. The muscular man was bare-chested, and his bulging muscles were clearly filled with powerful strength.

Wharton, a late-stage seventh-level expert. It was rumored that he was the most likely expert to be ranked on the seventh-level Weapon Rankings in the past thousand years.

The dense baleful aura swept out, and the eleven people retreated, their faces filled with fear.

"You blood-sucking scum, scram!" Wharton roared again, and these people turned around and ran.

Wharton came to the front of Zi Chen, but Zi Chen still didn't move, and his spirit was completely tensed up.

"Little guy, you must be new here. Not bad, but remember, save some strength to deal with these scum when you come back. Your enemy is not only the alien race, but also those scum and vermin."

The bald muscular man said casually.

Zi Chen turned around and looked at him, and a trace of gratitude immediately appeared on his face. "Thank you for your help, Lord."

"Just call me Wharton. Only in the eyes of those scum, I am a lord."

Zi Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, brother Wharton."

Wharton nodded and stepped forward, but he intentionally slowed down his pace.

Zi Chen smiled gratefully and quickly followed.

With Wharton accompanying him, naturally, no one dared to have any ideas about Zi Chen. After successfully entering the city, Zi Chen walked toward Schenker's restaurant, and surprisingly, Wharton took the same path as Zi Chen.
