Chapter 604

Many Danyuan experts' expressions had changed, but not all of them. Obviously, there were still some who were more rational.

Among the group of Danyuan experts, there were also some who recognized Zi Chen. They could tell at a glance that this was Yu Kong, the one who had been hunted down by them because of Yuan Liquid. But at that time, dozens of Danyuan experts had failed to kill him, and he had entered the ancient battlefield in the end.

"You are Lord, and you are also Yu Kong." Danyuan, who had a conflict with Wang Shan, turned his head and looked at Zi Chen, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Zi Chen was not angry at being looked down upon. Instead, he turned and looked at the group of Danyuan experts, saying, "My name is Zi Chen, and I am the leader of this team. Since everyone has chosen to join us, we will be on the same side in the future. I will also promise to give everyone the rewards you deserve."

After Zi Chen finished speaking, there were no cheers or applause from the crowd. Instead, there were a few disdainful chuckles.

"The rewards, we agreed at the beginning, one Dan weapon and one hundred thousand upper grade Yuan Stones." Danyuan looked at Zi Chen and asked again.

"That's right." Zi Chen nodded.

Hearing this, Danyuan laughed strangely and said in a sarcastic tone, "At the beginning, we agreed to give you the Dan weapon, but in the end, you said that there was no more Dan weapon, and that it was not enough. You said that you would give me the Dan weapon when we returned. Now that you are back, shouldn't you give me the Dan weapon?"

Danyuan asked rudely. It sounded like a question, a demand. In the crowd, all the Danyuan experts looked at Zi Chen, and there were a few who already had contempt on their faces.

"One Dan weapon, of course I can give it to you."

Zi Chen was not angry. He just smiled and said, "In my opinion, you should have other requests, right? Why don't you say them all together? I will see if they are reasonable. If they are, then we will solve them all together."

"Haha, you have good eyesight, to be able to guess that I have other requests. Not bad, you have the potential to be a leader."

Dan Yuan laughed and then said loudly, "Listen to me. In addition to the elixir weapon I promised before, I want to add another 755,555 high-grade Primordial Stones to the annual reward of 655,555 high-grade Primordial Stones, which is 855,555 high-grade Primordial Stones per year."

Three hundred thousand high-grade Primordial Stones a year, this was no doubt an exorbitant demand. Dan Yuan became extremely excited, but suddenly changed his mind, "No, not every year, every month, pay me three hundred thousand high-grade Primordial Stones a month. In addition, give me the same amount of Primordial Liquid you just gave Hei Feng."

"Three hundred thousand high-grade primordial stones a month, plus a lump of mid-grade primordial liquid. Do you know how much those things are worth?" Zi Chen asked calmly.

"I don't care how much you have. If you want me to work for you, then you have to pay me back," Dan Yuan said loudly and proudly.

The surrounding Dan Essences who were watching the commotion looked at the scene with different expressions. Among them, there were some who were puzzled, some who were mocking, and some who were sympathetic.

Dan Yuan's words could be said to be very arrogant, and his conditions were incomparably harsh. This was simply an exorbitant demand. Even the onlookers couldn't bear such an outrageous demand. However, as the leader's friend, Wang Shan, who was incomparably arrogant before, now looked indifferent, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

In addition, Zi Chen's other friends also didn't show any extreme emotions on their faces. Their calm expressions made many Dan Yuan puzzled.

At this time, Dan Yuan's attitude became worse. "If you want me to work for you, you have to agree to this payment, and you have to pay me one month's worth in advance. Now, take out the Primordial Stones and pill weapon for this month."

As he gazed at Dan Yuan's increasingly ugly face, a cold glint appeared in Zi Chen's calm eyes for the first time. His voice had also become much colder. "Your demands are too high and I am unable to fulfill them. I might as well not force you to join my group."

"What?"

Dan Yuan was angry when he heard this, and shouted at Zi Chen, "Now you say you won't force me to leave, then what have you been doing before? You called me here and wasted my time. How are you going to calculate my losses? No, you have to compensate me."

Zi Chen shook his head, and said, "I think you are mistaken. I won't force you to join my team, but I also didn't say you can leave."

"You can't afford to hire me, but you won't let me leave. What do you mean? Are you going to treat me like a lord?" Dan Yuan began to laugh loudly, his eyes full of contempt.

However, only his laughter echoed in the air. It was very lonely. As for the other Core Essence cultivators around him, for some reason, none of them laughed. It was as if Zi Chen's performance had always been far too calm.

"When Wild Wolf and Black Wind came to find you, they should have given you two choices, right?" Zi Chen asked calmly.

"Bullsh * t, he only gave me one choice, and that was to join your team and work for you, or else …" Dan Yuan's words suddenly stopped, and he suddenly remembered what two choices were, and at that time, Black Wind did give them two choices.

One to live, one to die.

Dan Yuan's expression changed, and in an instant, he already knew what Zi Chen meant. He asked coldly, "What, are you going to kill me?"

Zi Chen shook his head, and said, "Wrong, I want to send you on your way."

After saying this, Zi Chen took a step forward, and as if he had teleported, he was in front of Dan Yuan in an instant, very close to him.

Such a strange speed scared Dan Yuan, and he hurriedly took a step back, increasing the distance between him and Zi Chen. At the same time, he shouted, and a terrifying energy began to surge in his Dan Yuan, and then he suddenly attacked Zi Chen.

Seeing Dan Yuan attack first, Zi Chen's face was still calm, and his eyes were also very calm. After that, he stretched out his right hand and pointed with his right finger, meeting the opponent's attack.

His fingertip emitted a golden light, and then a frightening aura emerged. After that, his right finger rushed forward and pointed at Dan Yuan's attack.

Dan Yuan's attack was made with a fist, and the whole fist was emitting a bright light, and Dan Yuan's aura emerged. However, Zi Chen's finger fell, and in an instant, the fist light was scattered, and at the same time, his finger pointed at the opponent's exposed right fist. After that, a frightening aura gushed out from his middle finger, spreading out like layers of ripples.

These ripples spread out, and caused a shock. Dan Yuan's right fist, along with his whole right arm, was instantly turned into powder and disappeared under this shock.

He did not even feel the slightest bit of pain, and his whole right arm suddenly turned into powder and disappeared. Dan Yuan's eyes were already filled with horror.

His mouth was wide open, and it was not clear whether he was begging for mercy or asking for help. However, before he could make a sound, Zi Chen's middle finger continued to move forward, and with the same energy from before, pointed at his heart.

"Buzz."

The frightening energy ripples spread out from Dan Yuan's chest, and his body, like his right arm, turned into powder and disappeared under the shock of the energy.

When Zi Chen withdrew his finger, Dan Yuan's figure was no longer in the sky. There was only a spirit ring and an energy Dan Yuan floating quietly in the air.

With one attack, a Dan Yuan's Primordial Spirit was completely destroyed. Such combat power made the surroundings suddenly become deathly silent, and the eyes of all the Dan Yuan cultivators became filled with shock.

With just one attack, they already understood that there was a reason why Ye Lang and Hei Feng were willing to follow Zi Chen and use proper methods to obtain resources and wealth from Zi Chen. They did not want to steal from him because they were stupid. On the contrary, they were far too smart, and they knew how terrifying Zi Chen's combat power was.

The Dan Yuan cultivators who had seen Longhu fight before and knew how powerful he was, and had not participated in this matter. Apart from being shocked, they also heaved a sigh of relief inside.

Zi Chen had completely intimidated everyone by killing the arrogant Dan Yuan. None of the Dan Yuan cultivators dared to feel discontent anymore. However, just this alone was clearly not enough for Zi Chen. As a result, Zi Chen's calm eyes swept across the Dan Yuan cultivators once more.

The Dan Yuan cultivators naturally did not dare to meet Zi Chen's eyes. When Zi Chen's gaze swept across them, they all lowered their heads.

Zi Chen's gaze finally landed on one of the Dan Yuan cultivators. This was the Dan Yuan cultivator who had previously declared that the strong were respected, and that their dignity would be decided in a single battle. Apart from jeering and refuting Hei Feng, he had also played a key role in fanning the flames when Zi Chen arrived.

Dan Yuan's three hundred thousand high grade Yuan Stones per year had suddenly risen to three hundred thousand every month, all thanks to him.

Zi Chen stepped in the air and slowly walked towards the other party. He said indifferently, "I'll give you a chance to attack."

The other party raised his head. His eyes were filled with panic, and his voice was also filled with extreme panic, "Great sir, what is it?"

"Since you won't attack, I will." Zi Chen had already arrived in front of the other party.

"Die."

The panicked Dan Yuan's face suddenly turned sinister, before he launched a powerful and domineering attack at Zi Chen.

But Zi Chen's response was only to point out a finger.

Then, the other party's fate was the same as the previous Dan Yuan. His body was shaken by the energy ripples and turned into dust. Although his strength was much stronger than the previous Dan Yuan, the two of them still ended up in the same situation.

In the blink of an eye, a true expert had been killed. The Dan Yuan cultivators were all shocked. Their gazes all fell on Zi Chen. They were incomparably shocked, and some of the more timid ones had already begun to tremble.

Under their shocked gazes, they saw Zi Chen turn around again and walk towards another Dan Yuan cultivator. This was the leader of a force, and his strength was very strong, comparable to Hei Feng.

"Didn't you want a ball of yuan liquid like them? I'll give you a chance to attack." Zi Chen looked at the other party calmly. His calm voice sounded like he was chatting with someone.

"Great sir, you misunderstood. I …" The panic in Dan Yuan's heart had risen to the extreme. While he was shocked by Zi Chen's strength, he was even more afraid of his unchanging calm expression. He was almost scared to tears.

"Oh, so it was a misunderstanding."

Zi Chen's voice was still calm. Just when Dan Yuan thought Zi Chen was going to say that since it was a misunderstanding, Zi Chen said, "Since it was a misunderstanding, then please leave my team."

There was only one outcome for leaving the team, and that was death.

Dan Yuan's eyes were already filled with despair. Then, he saw Zi Chen point out a finger and send him on his way.
