Chapter 855
While they were talking, three people entered the market. After entering the market, they went straight for Zi Chen.
The three people all had unfriendly expressions. One of them was a big man with a fierce face.
Following Zi Chen's gaze, the stall owner naturally saw the three people. His expression changed slightly, and without saying anything, he moved the stall three meters away, putting some distance between them.
However, before the three people could approach, they were stopped by a trial taker guarding the market. The reason was that the three people didn't pay the entrance fee.
"We're just looking for someone. Why do we need an entrance fee?" The big man shouted loudly, afraid that others couldn't hear him.
Not paying the entrance fee and still being so arrogant, the trial taker's expression became disdainful. He said coldly, "You dare to be so unreasonable here? Do you know where you are?"
The big man seemed to be very arrogant and didn't buy the other party's words. The two sides started arguing.
Seeing this, Zi Chen couldn't help but shake his head. The other party wasn't even willing to pay the entrance fee of ten drops of low-grade essence liquid. It was obviously impossible for them to take out more than a hundred drops of high-grade essence liquid.
"The three of them are from Bright Creek Gorge. The scale of this force is only slightly weaker than the three forces." Looking at the two sides arguing, the stall owner spoke again.
Zi Chen nodded but didn't say anything.
"I've seen your stuff. It's good stuff, and the price is absolutely fair. However, if you leave it here, it's destined that no one will buy it."
The stall owner whispered, "This place is lacking in resources. The forces often attack and rob each other, consuming a lot of resources. They don't even have enough resources themselves, so who would buy this thing at a high price?"
Zi Chen looked at the stall owner and asked, "Then where should I sell it?"
"Go to Heaven's Pride City. As its name suggests, that's where the geniuses of the generation gather. Anyone who lives there is either a true powerhouse or has a lot of resources. If you put something there, you can sell it in a day."
Speaking up to here, the stall owner paused and said, "You don't have a Heaven's Pride City token here, right? I don't either, but I know a genius who has one. If you trust me, I can help you contact him."
A smile appeared on Zi Chen's face as he retorted, "We've only spoken three sentences. Do you think I should believe you?"
Zi Chen's straightforwardness stunned the stall owner. Then, he said, "We've only known each other for a short time, but I, Yan Laosan, have a reputation. I'm the most trustworthy. However, I'm not helping you out of goodwill. I'll have to collect my reward after this."
Zi Chen said, "Let me think about it."
While the two of them were talking, the quarrel between the large man and the trial-taker escalated once more. The large man sent the trial-taker flying with a single punch.
Daring to start a fight here, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the surrounding people. The trial challenger who had previously been indifferent and disdainful now had an angry expression. He stood up and pointed at the big fellow, shouting, "You dare to start a fight here? You're dead! Just you wait!"
After he finished speaking, he left in a flash. He left completely.
The stall owner and Zi Chen saw this at the same time. The stall owner was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed. He quietly moved a few meters to the side again.
Zi Chen, on the other hand, sneered.
The three of them, led by the large man, walked straight towards Zi Chen. When they got closer, they saw the item Zi Chen had placed in front of his stall.
The large man pointed at Zi Chen and asked, "Is this thing really as miraculous as you write it out to be?"
Zi Chen glanced at the fierce-looking large man and said indifferently, "Of course."
"A hundred drops of high-grade liquefied origin essence? Have you seen a hundred drops of high-grade liquefied origin essence before?" The large man paced back and forth in front of Zi Chen's stall, his eyes scanning Zi Chen's body and the stall.
"I haven't. I just found some resources and wanted to sell them so I could take a look."
Zi Chen glanced at the large man and said, "Are you buying? If not, please go away. Don't block other people's way."
The large man didn't answer immediately. During this time, his spiritual senses had been scanning Zi Chen's body, but he couldn't discover any details about Zi Chen at all.
After a while, the large man said, "Of course I'll buy it. But I'm afraid it's fake, so I have to take a look first."
Zi Chen looked at the large man with an inexplicable look in his eyes and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Of course."
Zi Chen nodded, "Alright, I'll show it to you."
With that, Zi Chen took out a condensed origin essence pill which emitted a green light. Zi Chen guessed that its main ingredient was the heart of a tree.
"This is a condensed origin essence pill, worth a hundred drops of high-grade liquefied origin essence."
Receiving the condensed origin essence pill, a strange light flashed in the large man's eyes and he said, "There's also a spirit-melting pill."
Zi Chen looked at the large man and said, "It's not good to be greedy."
"Greedy for what? I'll just give you the liquefied origin essence," the large man said angrily.
Zi Chen retracted his gaze and took out the spirit-melting pill again. It was golden in color and emitted a dazzling light.
The gazes of the people in the distance fell on the two types of pills, and their eyes were filled with amazement.
After carefully examining the two pills, the burly man fiddled with the two pills and said, "Could it be that there are only two of them? There's nothing else."
Zi Chen said calmly, "This is just for you to take a look. As long as you can take out enough liquefied origin essence, I can provide you with enough pills."
No one present knew that when Zi Chen was calm, he was angry.
"What a big tone. Why don't you take them out and let us see?" The large man said loudly, but unfortunately, the people around felt that the atmosphere was not right and did not join in the commotion.
"You've already taken two. Now it's time to give me the liquefied origin essence," Zi Chen said.
The large man's hand flashed and the two pills disappeared. He asked, "I took two. Two what?"
"You're trying to cheat." Zi Chen looked calmly at the large man.
"Haha, what cheat? What did I take from you? Who can tell me what I took from him?" The large man turned his head and looked around at the crowd.
No one said anything. Obviously, they did not want to participate in this dispute.
"You're really not going to give it to me?" Zi Chen asked again.
"Give what? Tell me what I'm going to give you. Tell me what I took from you. Kid, tell me." The large man's eyes became more and more ferocious. Finally, he reached out and was about to slap Zi Chen's face.
Before the large man's hand could reach Zi Chen, a fist landed on the large man's face.
"Bang." "Crack."
An abrupt sound rang out in the makeshift market. Just like how the burly man had knocked back the trial taker with a single punch, Zi Chen had knocked back the burly man with a single punch and broken his nose.
The large man's nose was flattened and blood spurted out from his nostrils and mouth. After taking a few steps back, he covered his nose and shouted, "Kill him."
Beside the large man, the two men's eyes were filled with murderous intent as they attacked Zi Chen.
"Die." A cold voice came out from the two men's mouths.
The crowd watched the battle quietly. In their opinion, Zi Chen, the stall owner, should have some tricks up his sleeve since he dared to attack. However, since he dared to snatch something so blatantly, he must have made ample preparations.
The crowd guessed that the following battle would be a fierce battle.
However, after exchanging blows, the crowd realized that there was a huge difference between their predictions and reality.
Two punches. Zi Chen's stall owner ended the battle with just two punches.
Following the two loud bangs, the two men were instantly sent flying. After they landed on the ground, they did not get up again.
"They're dead. He killed one of them with one punch." The crowd was shocked.
The large man who was covering his face was also shocked by Zi Chen's combat power. He did not even cover his face tightly, causing more blood to spurt out.
After he attacked, Zi Chen did not waste any time. He took three steps forward to the large man and kicked him.
The large man's body flew backward and his body bent like a shrimp. Zi Chen went forward again and punched his opponent's face.
The large man continued to spurt out blood. His white teeth came out along with the blood. The large man was hit in the chin and was sent flying with a punch. Before his body landed on the ground, Zi Chen leaped up high and kicked his opponent's lower abdomen, smashing him to the ground.
Both of them were cultivators, but the way they fought was like a fight between mortal martial artists. There was no elemental force surging around their bodies.
It was understandable that Zi Chen's stall owner did not have elemental force surging around his body. However, the large man who was hit did not have elemental force surging around his body as well. This was thought-provoking.
After three consecutive strikes, the burly man was knocked down. He was already breathing more than he was inhaling. His eyes were filled with shock and fear.
Zi Chen did not continue to attack. Instead, he looked at the large man calmly and said, "When I first came to your place, I only wanted to be honest and make a deal. However, you have crossed the line. I have never killed anyone since I came here, but you crossed the line and made me break my vow."
"You, you, me, me." The large man pointed at Zi Chen with a trembling finger, but he could not say a complete sentence.
"Are you going to tell me who your backer is? There's no need for that. I'm just a businessman. I don't care about these things. You just have to tell me if you took my things." Zi Chen said.
"Yes, yes." The large man quickly said.
"It's good that you admit it. But you should know that it's wrong to take someone's things. It's even more wrong to rob someone's things. It's even more wrong to kill someone after robbing someone's things."
"I know, I know." The large man's voice was trembling.
"It's good that you know. That's why I said, don't do such things in your next life," Zi Chen said calmly. He stepped forward calmly, lifted his leg calmly, and kicked out calmly. The large man died calmly.
Zi Chen calmly took the three Spirit Rings from them and then calmly returned to his stall and sat down in front of it.
Zi Chen was calm, but the people around him were not. Their faces were filled with horror. They were completely shocked.
Similarly, a group of people who came later were also not calm. Beside this group of people was the challenger who had been beaten up earlier.
There were more than ten people in this group. The black-robed man should be the leader. When he came in and saw the three corpses on the ground, he said coldly, "How dare you kill people in the market. Who is it?"
The black-robed man looked around. Everyone's eyes subconsciously fell on Zi Chen. The black-robed man looked at Zi Chen and said coldly, "It's you. You killed these three people."
