Chapter 360

Someone else spoke, and all the rogue cultivators' expressions changed.

But then, a terrifying aura appeared, covering the sky and the earth with terrifying pressure, making people tremble.

It was a powerful aura, far stronger than the ordinary Zephyr Realm. It swept across the entire square, making people afraid to breathe.

"Kid, you're really domineering."

An old man with white hair and a face full of wrinkles stared at Zi Chen with a pair of deep eyes that were like divine lamps.

"This is …" Seeing the old man, everyone's expression changed.

"Senior Zheng Nan."

"It's him, the respected old man elected by the rogue cultivators, Senior Zheng Nan."

All the rogue cultivators recognized the old man, and their expressions became respectful without any dissatisfaction.

Zheng Nan was a genius among the rogue cultivators. He was talented and outstanding, and he was one of the best among the rogue cultivators. Without any resources, he broke through to the Zephyr Realm, and his combat strength was very strong. On the day he broke through to the Zephyr Realm, he refused the invitation of the major forces. He was a carefree rogue cultivator and was very famous in this area.

A few years ago, he broke through to the late stage of the Zephyr Realm. His combat strength was very terrifying, and it was said that he was second only to those who were at the peak of the Zephyr Realm in the major forces.

He was highly respected and lived a carefree life. He never made enemies with anyone. In this token incident, some rogue cultivators even came to him and asked him to take the token to the Saint Burial Ground.

"Senior Zheng Nan can't stand it anymore, so he's coming to uphold justice."

"Only someone like Senior Zheng Nan can suppress Zi Chen."

"Zi Chen is too domineering. He even killed people who told the truth."

Everyone whispered, looking at Senior Zheng Nan with hope in their eyes, hoping that he would come out and uphold justice.

"Domineering." Zi Chen sneered. The discussion around let him know the origin of the old man, and there was only disdain in his heart.

Carefree and respected? In Zi Chen's view, all of this was a disguise. If he was really carefree, he wouldn't have shown up today and said that he was domineering. If he didn't want the token himself, then he must have been ordered by a major force.

The token was extraordinary and was of great importance. It was far from something a rogue cultivator could get involved with. Zi Chen believed in the latter.

This sanctimonious old man must have been sent by a major power.

"These are my things. Why should I let them distribute them? What's so overbearing about it?" Zi Chen asked coldly. He was not afraid of the elder who was in the late stage of the Zephyr Realm.

"What arrogant words! So young yet doing such a tragic thing. Today, blood has already flowed like a river and many experts have died. You still don't want to say that you are overbearing?"

Senior Zheng Nan questioned. In front of him was a miserable scene. Broken limbs, badly mangled flesh.

"If I don't kill them, they'll kill me. Can't you see that? You're a senior of virtue and prestige, yet you're siding with one side right from the start. It makes me very suspicious of your intentions." Zi Chen questioned. In his heart, he had long since classified this old man as one of the major powers.

"Bastard, you still dare to quibble? Could it be that they also deserved to die? They also wanted to kill you."

The old man pointed at the corpses on the ground and said, "They're only in the True Energy Boundary. Could it be that they also have the strength to kill you? Could it be that they also want to take your life?"

"They don't have the strength to kill me, but they are so aggressive and want me to hand over the token. Why? I, Zi Chen, used my life to exchange for the token. When I was in the True Energy Boundary, I was hunted down by the Zephyr Realm and narrowly escaped death. Why should they distribute it?"

"What a sharp-tongued little guy. You killed so many people in such a tragic manner. You treat human lives like dirt, yet you still speak with conviction." The old man sneered. He did not mention the token at all. Every time Zi Chen raised his qi, he would avoid it.

"Haha."

Zi Chen was so angry that he laughed and said, "As expected of a senior of virtue and prestige. You have a compassionate heart and care for the common people of the world. Very good. Senior, can you hand over your spirit weapon and spatial spirit world to me for safekeeping?"

"That's something senior spent his entire life to obtain. Why should he hand it over to you?" Someone snorted and spoke at the right time.

Zheng Nan did not speak. His face was somewhat gloomy. He could already see that this brat was very difficult to deal with.

"What a good 'spent his entire life to obtain it'. Then my token, was it blown by the wind? When I was in the True Energy Boundary, I was hunted down by the Zephyr Realm. Mine was also exchanged with my life."

"You are twisting words and forcing logic. We only asked you to hand over the token. We never said that we wanted it from you."

"Haha, then I am also helping senior Zheng Nan to safeguard his wealth. I never said that I wanted it from you."

"You are pestering us endlessly." Someone angrily rebuked.

"Why is it that when the same thing comes out of your mouth, it is reasonable? What you say is reasonable, but when it comes to me, it is pestering us endlessly."

Zi Chen retorted, "The token is my thing. Sharing it with you is my magnanimity. Why should I hand it over to you? I think you are asking for a yard after taking an inch."

"Why should we believe you? What if you are just being perfunctory?"

"Then why should I believe that you are a true loose cultivator and not someone from a big power? Or perhaps, you have received benefits from a big power."

"You, you are insulting us, insulting senior Zheng Nan. There was a big power that tried to invite him, but he didn't join."

Zi Chen sneered, "Oh, is that so? Then which power is it? The Wang Family, the Liu Family, or the Qin Family?"

"It is not those three. It is the Cang and Li Families. They are not weaker than them."

"Everyone knows that I have a grudge with the Cang and Li Families. Can you guarantee that he did not join a big power a long time ago? Today, he is only here to steal my token." Zi Chen asked.

No one spoke again.

Some of the people who had spoken just now had cold smiles on their faces.

"Good, good, good."

Zheng Nan had not spoken for a long time, but now he said, "Boy, I, Zheng Nan, am upright and righteous. How can I allow you to insult my reputation? Today, let's not talk about the token. This old man wants to get justice for himself."

"That's right. Zi Chen insulted senior like this. It is disrespectful and must be severely punished."

"A mere token is nothing. How can it compare to senior's reputation? You insulted senior like this. Why don't you come over and kowtow and apologize?"

"Kneel down and apologize to senior."

Many people spoke aggressively. With Zheng Nan's support, they had no scruples.

"Haha, you want me to kneel down and kowtow and apologize? How arrogant. Do you want me to respectfully hand over the token as an apology?" Zi Chen laughed.

"If you sincerely apologize, it is not impossible." Someone next to him joked.

"Swoosh."

At this moment, a cold light flashed in Zi Chen's eyes. A golden lightning bolt appeared between his eyebrows and rushed toward the person who spoke.

Wherever his spiritual sense passed, everything was destroyed. The other party's pupils shrank and his vitality dissipated. He fell backward.

Everyone's expression changed. They never thought that Zi Chen would dare to kill without any scruples when senior Zheng Nan was here.

Moreover, it was a spiritual sense attack. It was very fast and killed the enemy in an instant. Zheng Nan could not block it even if he wanted to.

"You …" The old man's face was very ugly, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. "You are so cruel. Just because of a disagreement, you want to kill."

"You old bastard, stop pretending. The killing intent in your eyes has already explained everything. If you want to snatch the token, then do it quickly so that I can send you on your way." Zi Chen's voice was icy cold, and a trace of ridicule flashed on the corners of his mouth. He had completely shed all pretenses.

Zi Chen's action caused an uproar. They were all shocked. They did not know where Zi Chen's confidence came from. He dared to challenge senior Zheng Nan like this.

"Could it be that his battle strength has already reached the late stage of the Imperial Sky Realm?"

"Impossible. He is only at the ninth level of the True Essence Realm. Even if he has unparalleled battle strength, it is impossible for him to fight across several levels."

Everyone's expression changed. They felt that it was unbelievable.

On the other hand, Zheng Nan was furious to the extreme. Killing intent appeared in his eyes. Zi Chen had succeeded in infuriating him. Everything was developing as expected.

"Senior, please take action and kill this arrogant brat."

"Senior, please punish the evil."

"Senior, please take action and kill Zi Chen."

More people spoke. They were very respectful to Zheng Nan, but when they saw Zi Chen, their eyes flashed coldly as if Zi Chen was an unpardonable evil.

Zi Chen glanced at the crowd, expressionless.

"Since that's the case, then this old man will kill him. This child is truly cruel. If he is allowed to continue growing, the people will definitely be plunged into misery and suffering." Zheng Nan put on a sorrowful and pitiful appearance.

Everyone spoke again, begging him to kill.

"Okay." Zheng Nan nodded.

In the next moment, Zheng Nan's aura changed. Boundless energy filled the world. His cold eyes were extremely sharp, and a terrifying killing intent filled the air.

Earlier, he still had an expression that bemoaned the state of the universe and pitied the fate of mankind, like an expert that was free from worldly affairs and didn't care about the affairs of the world. But in the next moment, his figure instead became extremely imposing, and his entire body surged with monstrous killing intent that locked onto Zi Chen.

"Die." His eyes were full of killing intent. He roared and was about to attack.

Between heaven and earth, crazy energy surged, bringing with it a destructive aura.

"Old bastard, a lackey of a big faction. I think the one who will die is you." Zi Chen also roared, but he was the first to attack.

"Rumble."

The sky trembled, and thunder rumbled. A lightning dragon rushed out from between Zi Chen's eyebrows, bringing with it an extremely terrifying aura.

The void collapsed silently, and the lightning dragon instantly grew to hundreds of meters. Its body twisted, and lightning flickered as it charged toward Zheng Nan.

"This …" Zheng Nan's expression changed when the lightning dragon appeared.

However, at this moment, there were cries of alarm from the crowd.

"This is Zi Chen's trump card. Back then, there were over a dozen lightning bolts that even injured a Sovereign. I didn't expect Zi Chen to have more."

"It's too terrifying. That lightning strike caused a Sovereign's blood to rain from the sky."

Just as the cries of alarm, Zheng Nan let out a loud shout, his voice full of horror.

This was something he did not expect. The person who promised him benefits that day clearly said that Zi Chen had no more trump cards, and his combat strength was at most comparable to the early stage of the Zephyr Realm. But now, everything was beyond imagination.

"Buzz."
