Chapter 2292

Zi Chen was expressionless as he walked out, but he was very surprised.

The people around him were much more than he had expected.

It was as if everyone in this village, which he rarely saw, had returned today.

Most of the villagers were just here to watch the show with their arms crossed. There were only a dozen or so people who were looking for trouble.

One of them was the old man from the Hort Family, who was said to be called Hort Disi. Next to him was the still very weak Hort Tumi. When he saw Zi Chen appear, his eyes were filled with hatred.

"Zi Chen, today is the day you die!

If you hand over the Sacred Black Crystal, I can spare your life! "

He said coldly to Zi Chen. Although he looked weak, his cold words were full of energy.

"You?" Zi Chen smiled disdainfully, a trace of mockery flashing in his eyes.

He held the scabbard in his hand tightly. As long as he had the scabbard in his hand, he was full of confidence.

Seeing Zi Chen tighten his grip on the scabbard, Hort Tumi's expression changed and he subconsciously retreated.

He had heard that Zi Chen had killed three miners with just three slashes. This kind of combat power was definitely not something he could fight against.

Standing on the side, saying some harsh words and cursing secretly was the limit of what he could do.

The people present did not laugh at Hort Tumi's actions. Compared to these people, Hort Tumi was just a child, and a very weak one at that.

Just as he retreated, those people all took a step forward.

"If you're not afraid of death, then come!" the old man said indifferently, holding the pickaxe in front of his chest.

Perhaps it was because of his words, but as soon as he finished speaking, many of the people who had been watching the show with their arms crossed suddenly walked over.

As these people walked, their aura was not like that of ordinary miners. Their faces were fierce, and it was obvious that they were brave fighters.

Moreover, among the people who walked out, a few of them were holding weapons in their hands.

Zi Chen had been in this world for a long time, so he knew very well that in this world, having a weapon meant having combat power.

In the blink of an eye, there were more than twenty people, and eight of them had weapons.

This didn't include Hotedeschi and Hotedeschi who didn't take out their weapons.

Among these people, the old man was able to fight to a standstill with a weapon, and could barely block two people.

This situation was very unfavorable for the two, and no one was optimistic about them.

As the news of a huge piece of Sacred Black Crystal spread, almost all the villagers in the nearby villages knew about it. Thus, they chose to waste a day to come here and see if there was anything they could pick up.

More and more people gathered around. Aside from Hort and Tomi, the other four members of the Hort family who had come to this world had also arrived. They each had a person by their side, but none of them stepped forward.

Looking at the situation before them, there was no need for them to make a move.

Jia Tu Huangtu had also arrived early. Beside him, Jia Tu Mingtu and the other three had also arrived. They looked at the field with inexplicable expressions. Only Jia Tu Huangtu's face was filled with worry.

"Brat, hand over the Sacred Black Crystal, or die!"

After everyone had appeared, Hotedesz opened his mouth and spoke in a cold voice.

The old man didn't say anything; evidently, he didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, he didn't choose and allowed Zi Chen to make his own decision. He was willing to follow any decision.

Faced with such a situation, in everyone's opinion, Zi Chen would make a very wise choice.

Zi Chen looked at Hotedeschi and lightly smiled as he said, "Even though I look a bit young, I'm not stupid. On the contrary, I'm very smart, many times smarter than that idiot next to you.

I can see the killing intent in your eyes, and I'm sure that even if I take out the Sacred Black Crystal, you'll still choose to kill me. "

A trace of surprise flashed in Hotedeschi's eyes; he had never thought that this person would be so observant.

He indeed didn't plan on letting these two people off. Even if he took away the Sacred Black Crystal, these two people would still die.

Those words from before were just the opening remarks before the battle.

"Come!

Let's see if you can take the Sacred Black Crystal from me today! "

Zi Chen slowly raised the scabbard in his hand and placed his right hand on the hilt.

If this were the outside world and he faced so many Saint Kings, he would definitely turn and run. But in this world, these Saint Kings were no different from mortals; he had the qualifications to fight.

The others crossed their arms and watched the show. In their opinion, Zi Chen was overestimating himself and seeking death.

"Stop! Isn't it just a piece of Sacred Black Crystal? I'll just give it to you. Why be so overbearing?"

Just as the two sides were about to fight, there was a shout. Jia Tu and Huang Tu had broken free from the blacksmith's restraints and were running over.

He arrived in front of Zi Chen and turned to Hotedeschi. "Don't you want the Sacred Black Crystal? Then I'll just give it to you."

Hotedeschi glanced at Jia Tu and Huang Tu and then turned to look at the blacksmith, who had an ugly expression. He said, "Kid, there's nothing for you to do here. Hurry up and get out of the way.

Today, we want the Sacred Black Crystal and the lives of these two fellows! "

"Must we kill them?"

Jia Tu and Huang Tu asked again, but they only mocked him.

"Then come!"

He took out a short dagger from his sleeve, clenched one hand into a fist, and held the dagger in the other. He placed them horizontally in front of his chest, obviously ready to fight.

The blacksmith's face was ashen as he walked over. This was not something they could interfere in.

A palm landed on Jia Tu and Huang Tu's shoulder. The latter turned around and saw Zi Chen. Zi Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your help this time, but this is just a personal grudge between us. You should back off."

"Aren't we friends?

How can I back off at a time like this? "Jia Tu and Huang Tu shook their heads and said firmly.

These words touched Zi Chen quite a bit. He said, "Of course we're friends, but I don't have the bad habit of letting my friends die.

They're just a bunch of trash. Trust me, I'm destined to be a big shot! "

Jia Tu and Huang Tu believed that Zi Chen would be a big shot in the future, but the premise was that Zi Chen could not die.

But from the looks of it, Zi Chen did not seem to have any chance of survival.

Jia Tu and Huang Tu shook their heads and did not want to back off, but what happened next was not up to them. The blacksmith and a member of the Jia Tu family stepped forward and carried Jia Tu and Huang Tu away.

Looking at Jia Tu and Huang Tu who were still struggling, Zi Chen looked at the old man in front of him and said, "Old man, go to the door and guard our Sacred Black Crystal. You don't have to fight this battle!"

The old man looked at Zi Chen in confusion.

"I'm used to fighting alone, and I'm also used to using my way to reason with people. You'll be in the way.

Although you're an old senior, your combat strength is too weak. "

The old man naturally understood what Zi Chen meant. The other party just didn't want him to be in danger.

Letting him guard the back was that once Zi Chen died in battle, the old man could take out the Sacred Black Crystal to save his life.

The main reason why Hotediss had to kill the two of them was because of Zi Chen. This was because Hotediss, Tang Mi, and the others were very clear about Zi Chen's potential.

"If I can't even protect you, what's the point of me living?" The old man shook his head.

"You should know that I don't need to be protected!

On this life star, people like me don't need to be protected at all. "

"Hey, you two, don't act like you're going to part forever. Soon, you two will be reunited in the underworld," said a man with a short sword.

Using his determined eyes to signal the old man to back off, Zi Chen held the scabbard and stepped forward. Looking at the twenty-something people in front of him, he said calmly, "Guys, because I'm new here, I don't have any reputation. That's why I'm bullied.

So, this time, I want to kill people to establish my prestige. I, Zi Chen, promise you that I won't let go of anyone who stands in front of me.

Today, either I die, or you die! "

His voice was calm, and his face was serene. He didn't have any intention to threaten them, as if he was just telling a simple story.

Those people standing far from them looked at Zi Chen. They didn't know why, but they felt an inexplicable chill, which made them shiver.

The twenty-something people in front of him also changed their countenances. Facing such a situation, they were either idiots or lunatics.

Apparently, the other was the latter.

Under everyone's attentive gazes, Zi Chen placed his right hand on the scabbard and slowly pulled it out. A broken scabbard with black light appeared in people's sight.

In front of Zi Chen, the others were also ready to fight. They held weapons or other things that could be used to hit people.

The old man sighed and stepped back.

Zi Chen took several steps forward. Those people in front of him scattered, surrounding Zi Chen.

Zi Chen stood in the center, holding the scabbard in his left hand and the broken scabbard in his right hand.

The people around him stared at Zi Chen.

The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive. Everyone was staring in front of them, watching the battle that was about to happen.

"Kill!"

The word "kill" came from Hotedesh's mouth. Those people surrounding Zi Chen started to charge at Zi Chen.

A sharp black sword pierced towards Zi Chen's face. Zi Chen moved his feet and dodged the sword.

At the same time, he turned his body again. Another attack brushed past his body.

"Clang!"

He raised the scabbard in his left hand and blocked a long sword that was falling towards his head. A clanging sound was heard, and sparks flew everywhere.

The powerful force shook Zi Chen and made him lose his balance. He subconsciously retreated.

Behind him, a short sword was thrusting towards his back.

As if there were eyes on the back of his head, Zi Chen used the force to rotate his body as he retreated. The scabbard blocked the short sword first.

The owner of the short sword was knocked back along with his weapon.

More attacks came towards Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's expression did not change. He instantly bent his back. These attacks brushed past his body and gathered above him before dispersing.

Facing these attacks, Zi Chen kept dodging. He blocked with the scabbard in his hand. As for the broken scabbard in his right hand, he did not slash once.

"Bang!"

A long black stick pierced through the attacks and hit Zi Chen's chest. The powerful force made Zi Chen's body involuntarily retreat.

Behind Zi Chen, a man holding a pickaxe looked at Zi Chen with a ferocious smile. He looked like he was going to smash Zi Chen's head with the pickaxe.

Zi Chen, whose body was unsteady, suddenly turned around at this moment. His dark eyes were calm and filled with indifference.

The broken scabbard, which had not been used yet, slashed down at this moment.
