Chapter 1618

The one talking to Miu Si was a man in the late seventh layer. He wore a black battle armor and held a black longsword in his hand. His whole body was exuding a strong murderous aura.

In the Battlefield of Despair, the price of battle armor was very high. Being able to afford such an expensive battle armor was a proof of one's strength. Miu Si, who was at the same level as him, was very cautious when she stood beside this man.

However, when she heard the other party speaking to Grandmaster Zi Chen so rudely, a trace of anger appeared on Miu Si's face. She said in a low voice, "Ao Gu Te, watch your tone. Grandmaster Zi Chen saved all of our lives."

Ao Gu Te turned his head and glanced at Miu Si with disdain. He smiled sinisterly and said, "What? You look like you're ready to fight me."

Miu Si's expression changed, but she didn't back down. She glared at Ao Gu Te. The others who had made deals with Zi Chen also glared at Ao Gu Te. It seemed like they would attack at any time.

"A bunch of cowardly rats. Just as well. When your grandmaster arrives, I'll take him down and make him work for me."

As soon as Ao Gu Te finished speaking, an indifferent voice came from behind him. "What a big tone."

Ao Gu Te turned around and saw Zi Chen. A trace of killing intent flashed in his cold eyes.

"Grandmaster Zi Chen."

"Grandmaster Zi Chen is here."

When the others saw Zi Chen, joy appeared on their faces. They turned around and walked toward Zi Chen.

"Boom!"

A powerful energy surged, and a dense killing intent swept out. Ao Gu Te glanced at Zi Chen and said coldly, "You're Zi Chen, the grandmaster they're talking about."

"Ao Gu Te, what are you doing?"

"Don't be rude to Grandmaster Zi Chen."

"Ao Gu Te, do you really think you're invincible here?"

Shouts rang out as more than a dozen cultivators stood in front of Zi Chen, blocking his path.

One should know that the price Grandmaster Zi Chen offered was even cheaper than the price of the Imperial Sky City. To them, this was a great favor. If they let Ao Gu Te capture Grandmaster Zi Chen, they would be the ones to suffer.

No one would watch as their own interests were damaged.

Zi Chen scanned the field and found that besides these people, there were a few others who were also glaring at Ao Gu with righteous indignation. However, there were still a few others who were indifferently standing on the periphery. Among them, there was even a late-stage Seventh Divine Realm expert wearing a battle armor.

Facing more than ten people, Ao Gu Te's face was still disdainful. A cruel smile hung on the corner of his mouth as if he was about to attack.

Of course, Zi Chen couldn't just watch these people die for him. Just as he was about to make a move, an indifferent voice came from afar.

"Enough. We don't even have a base anymore. Can't we be a little more united at a time like this?"

As the indifferent voice arose, a man came from a distance. Although he wasn't wearing armor, the murderous aura around him wasn't weaker than Ao Gu's.

"Lord Wharton."

"It's Lord Wharton."

It was Wharton, whom Zi Chen knew. The latter walked through the crowd, indifferently glancing at Ao Gu Te. Then, he came to Zi Chen, looking at Zi Chen as he said, "I didn't expect that the Master they were talking about was really you."

Zi Chen joked, "I didn't expect that Lord Wharton would come here either."

"Good boy, you dare to joke with me. Oh, you've broken through." Wharton looked at Zi Chen in surprise.

It had only been a little more than a year since they last met. At that time, Zi Chen had just entered the Dax Plain. He didn't even know the rules. Now, only a little more than a year had passed. Zi Chen had already broken through.

"I was just lucky."

Seeing the two chatting happily, the others heaved a sigh of relief. Wharton had a high status in the Battlefield of Despair. He was no longer an expert who was between the living and the dead. He was the one who had the highest chance to enter the Weapon List of Despair.

With Wharton here, he obviously had to take charge of the situation. Moreover, the two seemed to be familiar with each other. Obviously, Master Zi Chen's crisis had been resolved.

"Wharton, you want to stop me?" Auguste glared at Wharton.

Although Auguste had some fame, he couldn't compare to Wharton. His words had obviously enraged Wharton.

Wharton turned around, glancing at Auguste and coldly saying, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?"

"You." Auguste's eyes flashed with killing intent.

"If you want to die, I can fulfill your wish," Wharton coldly said.

"Good, Wharton. Let me see what kind of power you have, the one who has the highest chance to enter the Weapon List of Despair." Auguste was obviously enraged by Wharton's attitude. He raised the black sword in his hand, pointing it at Wharton.

Wharton frowned, looking at Auguste, "You're courting death."

At this moment, what humans needed was unity, not infighting. Wharton actually didn't want to kill anyone.

Clang.

The black sword vibrated, releasing a wisp of power, causing the space to tremble. Apparently, Auguste had also comprehended the rules, which was the source of his confidence in not fearing Wharton.

The others scattered, obviously not wanting to get involved. However, it was more likely that they didn't want to get hurt.

Auguste was indeed annoying. They didn't mind Wharton teaching him a lesson.

Auguste took several steps back, pointing his black sword at Wharton, provoking him, "Come. Let me see your power."

Wharton was finally enraged. He shouted, "Courting death!", dashing towards Auguste. He didn't use any weapon, but just threw out a punch.

The air shrieked. Wharton's punch had a deep understanding of the rules of power. Not many people could resist it.

From the moment he appeared, Zi Chen had been frowning. Seeing Wharton take action, Zi Chen's brows were still knitted. Wharton's punch had given him a deeper understanding of Wharton's power. Auguste might have some tricks, but in front of Wharton, he was simply courting death.

At this moment, Zi Chen seemed to have figured out the key to the problem. His right hand gripped his saber tightly.

At this moment, Wharton's punch landed on Auguste's sword. He had obviously held back his power, but Auguste was still pushed back.

Everyone's attention was on the battlefield. Their faces were filled with shock. No one paid any attention to Zi Chen. Of course, no one noticed that the other person in armor, who hadn't said a word since the beginning, was quietly approaching Zi Chen. When he was two meters away from Zi Chen, he launched a sneak attack towards Zi Chen.

This was also a longsword, aimed at Zi Chen's back. This attack was aimed to take Zi Chen's life.

However, facing this sneak attack, Zi Chen seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. The moment the longsword arrived, his body bent forward, and the tip of the sword brushed past Zi Chen's back.

At the same time, he unsheathed his black saber. His body spun, and a flash of saber light slashed towards the back.

Puff.

A deep wound appeared on the armoured cultivator's abdomen. The wound turned black under the naked eye. It was the black saber's armor-piercing and poisoning effect.

"You!"

The late-stage Seventh Stage cultivator covered his wound and retreated. He pointed his sword at Zi Chen, his face full of disbelief.

The commotion attracted the attention of the surrounding people. When they turned around and saw the injured late-stage Seventh Stage cultivator, their faces changed.

Wharton understood what was going on. When his eyes fell on Auguste again, there was a murderous intent in his eyes.

"I stopped playing this kind of trick when I was in the Mortal Realm. Die!"

Zi Chen's eyes flashed with murderous intent. His body flashed, leaving behind a series of afterimages, and swept past the late-stage Seventh Stage cultivator.

With the armor-piercing and sharpness effects, the late-stage Seventh Stage cultivator's body was cut in half.

This scene shocked everyone. They never thought that a late-stage Seventh Stage cultivator would die in the hands of a mid-stage Seventh Stage cultivator like Zi Chen.

On the other side, Auguste, who saw that the situation was not good, shouted. The energy around his body surged wildly, forcing Wharton to take two steps back. Then he turned around and ran.

"Since the Wang Family sent you to die, then you can die here."

An indifferent voice suddenly came from Auguste's side. The latter's face changed greatly. He shook the black saber in his hand, and without thinking, he directly slashed towards the direction of the voice.

However, this slash hit nothing. Then he felt a pain in his waist, and saw that there was a wound on his body.

Auguste, who felt his strength quickly draining, raised his head with difficulty and looked at Zi Chen in disbelief. He couldn't understand why he couldn't even block a single attack with his armor.

"Bang."

Auguste still didn't understand what happened until his lifeless body fell to the ground.

On the contrary, when Wharton saw this scene, his pupils couldn't help but shrink. When he looked at the black saber in Zi Chen's hand again, his eyes were filled with dread.

After killing the famous Auguste with a single attack, the surrounding people were shocked. They all stared at this scene with wide eyes, unable to believe what they had just seen.

At this moment, Zi Chen turned around again. His cold eyes swept across the crowd and landed on the strangers.

When they met Zi Chen's cold eyes, their hearts couldn't help but tremble.

Zi Chen's lips curled into a sneer. "Since you don't plan to run, then you can die here."

After saying this, Zi Chen moved forward at an astonishing speed. Then, under everyone's shocked expressions, he chopped off a head with a single slash.

After killing another person, Zi Chen didn't stop there. He quickly moved to the side and killed another person.

Until his death, this person didn't manage to launch a sneak attack.

After killing four people in a row, everything was over.

This was the additional killing intent that Zi Chen sensed from the Rule he had comprehended.

It had to be said that these two people didn't know how to conceal their killing intent. When they launched the sneak attack, they revealed their killing intent.

After the battle, Zi Chen didn't hesitate to break the four people's Abdomen, took the spirit crystals, and their weapons.

During this period of time, the crowd watched everything without uttering a single word. They were still in a state of shock. Furthermore, they had never imagined that Grandmaster Zi Chen, who appeared to be extremely gentle, would actually possess such extraordinary abilities.
