Chapter 759

Zi Chen pointed his finger, and a heart-palpitating aura spread out. Above the joints of his middle finger, there was an obvious light. This light was the complete opposite of the golden energy in Zi Chen's body.

However, the energy of both sides came from the same source.

A thick finger print appeared in front of Zi Chen. The surface of the finger print glowed with gold and silver. Golden electric snakes circled around the finger print.

As soon as the finger power was unleashed, a terrifying aura spread out. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Then, the finger print slammed toward the mountain woman.

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering explosion rang out. The rumbling sound made many people's ears buzz. There was only gold and silver light circulating between heaven and earth. The gold and silver energies were raging.

As for the mountain woman, she was completely swallowed up by the two energies.

The energy was so terrifying that many cultivators' expressions changed when they sensed it. At this moment, they considered Zi Chen, who was a cultivator, to be extremely dangerous.

As for the mountain woman, everyone thought she should have died under the finger power.

The violent energy dissipated quickly. The blinding light disappeared as well. Everyone's vision was restored. Then, they saw the mountain woman standing quietly in the distance.

Facing such an attack, not only did she not die, but there were no injuries on her body. Only a few tears on her oversized clothes were proof of Zi Chen's attack.

"Not dead. Not injured."

"Is he still human?"

Everyone stared with their eyes and mouths wide open. They looked as if they had seen a ghost. The powerful finger power from before had not only torn the woman's clothes but also repelled her.

"Kid, you have some skills. What, do you want to come again?" The mountain woman looked down at Zi Chen. Her thunderous voice rang out again.

Zi Chen did not speak. His face was extremely gloomy. Although he did not use his strongest combat power, he did not hide much either. His opponent was like an invincible existence. Facing such an attack, she was not injured at all, let alone seriously injured.

"Sophie, forget it. Don't be angry with a kid."

A voice sounded from the tavern. The owner of the tavern walked out at some point and looked up at the woman. The voice came from him.

"Are you angry? They're calling me fat. Didn't you hear them, you damn cripple?" The woman named Sophie looked down at the tavern owner again.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people who had sensed it earlier changed drastically.

Zi Chen's battle prowess could definitely be ranked among the top in this group of trial challengers. However, even with such battle prowess, he still couldn't injure this woman. Many people guessed that she might be a powerhouse who had returned from the ancient road. Now that the tavern owner had spoken, and she dared to reprimand him and expose his shortcomings, it was obvious that she was on the same level as him.

After being scolded as a cripple, the tavern owner didn't get angry. Instead, he spread out his hands and said, "But you've already passed the Ancient Road, while this little guy has yet to enter it."

"You damn cripple, are you saying that I'm bullying the weak?" The woman glared at him.

"No, no, of course I don't mean that. I just feel that you have a noble status, and it's not worthwhile for you to attack this little guy. No one appreciates your voluptuousness and beauty. It's just that they're ignorant and don't appreciate it enough. You, Sophie, have always been a goddess in my eyes." As he spoke, the tavern owner's eyes burned with passion.

"Scram, you damn cripple. Do you think I'll like you?" Although the woman was still scolding him, her words lacked the thunderous anger.

"You don't like me, but you can't deprive me of my right to pursue you, Sophie. You should know that I'm here to open this broken tavern for you," the tavern owner said with a pleading look in his eyes.

"Scram, your expression makes me sick."

While the two of them were talking, the hearts of many cultivators were in turmoil. Of course, it wasn't because of shock, but because of disgust.

A woman who was as fat, tall, and strong as a mountain was actually looking down on a normal human man. However, if one looked carefully, the tavern owner was also abnormal. He was missing an eye and had a broken leg.

However, after knowing the identity of the other party, the crowd could only suppress the disgust in their hearts and try their best to show the most humble smile because they vaguely guessed the true identity of the woman.

Seeing this scene, Zi Chen had a bad feeling in his heart. He kept praying in his heart, "This fat woman better not be the guardian of the passageway. Otherwise, we'll be completely screwed."

The monk and the demonic ape obviously had a bad premonition. Their faces were somewhat bitter, and they hoped that their luck wouldn't be so bad.

"The three of you are very good. You actually have such battle strength. The Ancient Road of Trials was originally prepared for the strong, and the three of you are strong enough to be called strong. Therefore, when the passageway opens, I'll make an exception and open the strongest road for you three."

At the next moment, the woman looked at Zi Chen and the other two again. After saying these words, the identity of the other party was also obvious.

The guardian of the passageway.

Zi Chen's prayer didn't come true. Luck wasn't on his side today. The woman was the guardian of the passageway, and at the next moment, she abused her power and gave them the strongest road.

The faces of the three instantly became unsightly, while the other cultivators' faces were filled with ridicule.

"What's wrong? You don't look satisfied." The woman looked at Zi Chen and the other two.

Could they be satisfied? Previously, the tavern owner had said that the road of trials was divided into three, six, and nine grades. Moreover, he had specifically used Zi Chen as an example. An existence like him would also die a terrible death on the first-grade ancient road.

The strongest road that the woman mentioned was naturally the first-grade ancient road.

"You're abusing your position to avenge a private grudge." The demonic ape gritted his teeth.

"I'm the guardian of the ancient road of trials. My purpose is to find human experts to enter the strongest road," the woman said seriously.

Zi Chen and the other two were speechless. At this moment, Zi Chen recalled the tavern owner's words. He could bribe a beautiful woman or a handsome man. He could also sleep with her.

Looking at the woman's body and imagining the scene of him sleeping with her, Zi Chen felt a chill. Moreover, he instantly destroyed this kind of imagination. Otherwise, it would become a nightmare for him for the rest of his life. He could die at any time due to qi deviation.

At this moment, Zi Chen deeply sighed at the tavern owner's heavy taste.

Zi Chen's expression suddenly became very rich. The woman's face was also filled with anger, but she didn't get angry. Instead, she looked at Zi Chen and said in what she thought was a gentle voice, "Little brother, if you are not satisfied with this arrangement, you can come to my room. We can discuss it again."

After saying this, the woman threw a big flirtatious glance at Zi Chen.

Seeing this scene, Zi Chen felt his stomach churn. He curled up and couldn't help but retch. Although he knew that doing this in this situation was very disadvantageous to him, Zi Chen really couldn't suppress the natural reaction in his stomach.

Moreover, when he retched, Zi Chen saw from the corner of his eyes that many people were covering their mouths and retching. However, they were forcefully suppressing the urge to vomit. It was extremely difficult for them to hold it in.

"Hmph."

Zi Chen's actions made Sophie frown. She coldly snorted and said angrily, "The strongest ancient road of trials is yours. This old lady here hates tender and useless gigolos like you the most."

After saying this, Sophie strode away.

"Sophie, don't you want to come and have a drink?" The tavern owner invited her. He couldn't see the expression of others who couldn't wait for her to leave.

"Aren't you afraid that your tavern will be overcrowded?"

"How could that be?"

"Hmph."

Sophie coldly snorted and didn't say anything. Then, she strode towards the wooden house in front of her. The ground shook again.

Zi Chen and the other two stood there in a daze. It seemed that their fates were sealed just like that.

Just after Sophie walked away, the surrounding people finally couldn't hold back the sound of laughter.

"Haha, the strongest ancient road of trials."

"Only death awaits those who enter that ancient path. How unlucky."

"If we go to the guardian's room and discuss it carefully, there might be room for negotiation."

The group of cultivators laughed unscrupulously. Zi Chen and the other two's battle prowess had previously caused them to be wary. Once they stepped onto the ancient road, they would become a potentially dangerous enemy. But now, they had offended the guardian of the passageway, who had deliberately let them off. It seemed like the three of them had no chance of surviving.

Without three great enemies, they were extremely relaxed. In a good mood, they couldn't help but laugh excitedly.

However, at this time, Sophie's voice came from afar. "Don't blame me for not warning you. The conditions for the strongest ancient road of trials are extremely harsh. If you don't have enough resources, I advise you to directly commit suicide. Otherwise, you will encounter something more painful than death due to insufficient source energy."

As Sophie's voice fell, the laughter around them became louder and more carefree. But soon, they couldn't laugh anymore.

That was because they felt a wave of coldness attack them. The source of this coldness was Zi Chen's group of three. At this moment, the three's eyes turned green, as if they were hungry wolves that had seen meat.

"What are you doing?" A cultivator felt uncomfortable being stared at by the three and asked loudly.

"Everyone, you heard what I said just now. If we don't have enough resources, we will die miserably on the ancient road of the strongest," Zi Chen said to the surrounding people.

"What does this have to do with us?" Another person asked.

"We don't want to die so miserably. We want to live, so we want to borrow some resources from everyone," Zi Chen said again, his words extremely sincere.

"Borrow? Do you think we will lend it to you?"

"Instead of borrowing, it's better to say you want to rob. But with just the three of you, do you think you can rob all of us?"

Disdainful voices sounded again, and many people's faces were filled with mockery and ridicule.

"Everyone, you are so uncooperative. Then I'm sorry, I can only forcibly borrow your resources."

After saying this, Zi Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his voice also became incomparably cold. "Do it."
