Chapter 856

The black-robed man looked at Zi Chen with an unfriendly gaze. He coldly said, "You killed people in the city square and even dared to speak nonsense and slander us. This is the city square. What do you think this is? A bandit's nest."

Zi Chen saw that the other party refused to admit it and didn't want to argue. He directly asked, "We've already killed them and their corpses are right there. What do you want?"

"Humph, breaking the rules of the city square. No matter who it is, they must pay the price." The black-robed man coldly snorted.

Zi Chen looked at the black-robed man and sarcastically said, "Price? What price? Do you want my life or my resources? But in my opinion, these two things are equal."

"Resources are lives. Lives are resources."

Zi Chen calmly said, "Although I don't like to kill, I have a bottom line. Because I fear death, I fear my life. So, when my life is threatened, that is my bottom line. Anyone who crosses my bottom line and tries to take my life, I will take their life first."

Zi Chen's words were clearly a threat. Before they could threaten him, they were threatened first. The black-robed man's expression immediately became ugly. Although he had more than a dozen people around him, to be able to live here for so long and sit in this position, he naturally knew that when facing a true powerhouse, numbers didn't mean everything.

In their territory, seeing that they had so many people and still dared to take the initiative to threaten them, the black-robed man believed that the other party was confident. The several leaders were all out on business. Although there were powerhouses in their force, they probably weren't a match for the other party. In the face of such a threat, the black-robed man actually lost his confidence.

The black-robed man's expression fluctuated. He couldn't make up his mind. Previously, he had planned to use his advantage in numbers to attack, but now that he was threatened, he began to feel fear. This plan clearly wouldn't work.

He pondered for a moment and then swept his eyes over the trial taker. He coldly asked, "What is going on here?"

The trial taker was also an extremely intelligent fellow. He quickly understood the meaning of the leader's words. He pointed at the corpses on the ground and said, "Sir, the three of them entered the city square and were unwilling to pay the entrance fee. They even attacked us."

"What, there was such a thing?" The black-robed man's eyes widened, killing intent surging around him.

"Yes, milord."

Zi Chen calmly watched the two of them put on an act. His expression didn't change at all. The people around him also understood. Since he was able to make the forces in the market place fear him, they all looked at Zi Chen with reverence.

"Damned things! How dare you break the rules of my city square! Even if you die, I won't let you go! Men, chop these three up and feed them to the demon wolves!"

The black-robed man was furious. His face was full of anger. A few people walked up from behind and quickly left with the three corpses.

The black-robed man watched as the three people left the city square. Then, he turned around. His gloomy complexion gradually eased. He cupped his fists together towards Zi Chen and said, "Thank you, my friend, for your help in protecting the reputation of my city square."

Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."

After he finished speaking, Zi Chen sat down, ignoring the man. It was obvious that he intended to send him off. However, the black-robed man didn't leave. Instead, he took a few steps forward and looked at the item Zi Chen was selling.

"I didn't expect you to be selling the Condensing Spirit Pill and the Raging Spirit Pill. These are good things. They can be considered luxury goods."

Seeing the item, the black-robed man's face lit up. However, he changed the topic and said, "Although these things are good, it's a pity that they can't be sold here."

"Oh."

Zi Chen looked up at him and asked, "Since they are good things and the price is fair, why can't they be sold?"

The black-robed man smiled and said, "My friend, you don't know. In this area, resources are scarce and there are many forces. There are also frequent wars. People don't even have the resources to recover. How can they have extra resources to buy these useless luxury goods?"

"You're saying that these are useless luxury goods?" Zi Chen was surprised.

"If they can't even recover, who cares about the increase of battle power?"

The black-robed man pointed at the two pills and said, "If you want to sell these things, there is only one place, and that is Tianjiao City. I happen to have a friend in Tianjiao City. If you don't mind, I can contact him and sell these two pills on your behalf. As for the price, we can discuss."

Zi Chen looked at him and said, "What if I do mind?"

The three of them took the three people Zi Chen killed and left the market. The three dead people were clearly on the same side. Naturally, they wouldn't really chop them up and feed them to the demon wolves. They just took them out and found a place to bury them.

They were worried that the other party's spiritual senses would investigate, so the three of them needed to bury the stone heads in a canyon dozens of miles away.

It was only dozens of miles, so they could cover it quickly with their top speed. However, halfway through, the three of them found a group of people coming from the opposite side.

"It's the leader."

"Leader, the leader is back."

Seeing a familiar figure among the group of people, the three of them were obviously happy. They put down the corpse and quickly flew forward.

There were more than 75 people in this group. Other than their leader, they only recognized three of the others. They were the leaders of the two allies and the leader of the Bright Creek Gorge.

At this moment, the leaders of the four forces weren't at the front. Instead, they were at the back with another person. In front of the five, there were two people in the middle. Looking at their leaders, it seemed that the two of them were very noble.

Seven people were at the front, while the rest were at the back. In the middle of the group, there was a young man who was full of scars and had been tortured beyond recognition.

"Greetings, leader." The three of them came forward and bowed.

"Why are you here?" The leader of the three saw the three of them and was surprised.

"Leader, we are here to deal with the bodies. Someone killed people in the market." The three of them explained as quickly as they could.

"Oh, you killed people and you need to deal with the bodies?" The leader's eyes flashed and said, "That person is very strong."

"His strength is unknown, but leader Mu is very afraid of him."

As a leader, Xi Sheng, who knew his subordinates' conduct, quickly guessed everything. He didn't ask much, turned to look at the two leaders and said, "I'm really sorry, there's a small matter in the market, I have to deal with it."

"Do you need us to go?" One of the two asked.

"No, no, it's just a small matter. We'll just go and take a look. You must be tired from the journey. You two should rest at my place." Xi Sheng smiled.

Xi Sheng pointed at the two and said, "You two take the leader to the station to rest."

"Everyone, we'll leave first. We'll have to trouble you for the rest." The two turned to the five people and cupped their fists.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of this matter. We'll find out where the things are." The four of them said.

Seeing the four of them leave, Xi Sheng looked at the last person and said coldly, "Go and tell Mu Wen to do it. I'll be there soon."

The last person nodded and left. As for the three corpses in the distance, no one cared about them anymore.

"Brother Chen, we have to go to the market to deal with some matters. I wonder if you …" Xi Sheng looked at the leader of the new force, Green Peak.

"Then let's go together. I want to see who is so bold as to attack people in the market." The leader of Green Peak, Chen Meng, laughed.

So, the group of people went to the market.

On the way, Chen Meng looked back at the young man covered in scars and sneered, "Wu Yu, you never thought this day would come."

The young man named Wu Yu looked at Chen Meng coldly and didn't say anything.

"You schemed against me on the ancient road, so I threatened to kill you. I didn't expect you to hide for dozens of years. Now, hand over the things and I'll let you die a quick death. If you beg for mercy, I don't mind sparing your life." Chen Meng said.

Wu Yu still didn't say anything.

The black-robed man, Mu Wen, was casually chatting with Zi Chen. However, Zi Chen's cold attitude caused Mu Wen's heart to burn with rage.

Soon, the people who dealt with the corpses came back, but only one of them came back.

"Why did you take so long?" Mu Wen asked coldly.

The man came forward and whispered a few words in Mu Wen's ear. Mu Wen frowned at first, but soon relaxed.

After the other party finished speaking, Mu Wen directly shouted, "Come on, take down this arrogant guy for me."

Following Mu Wen's shout, the dozen people around him moved, charging at Zi Chen.

A cold light flashed in Zi Chen's eyes, and he punched out. Zi Chen had heard the man's words clearly. It was because the other side's leader had returned that they had the confidence to act so arrogantly.

However, before the other side's leader arrived, Zi Chen had already knocked down all the people around him.

As for the leader, Mu Wen, he was trampled under Zi Chen's foot.

Mu Wen had suffered several punches from Zi Chen, and now he shouted in pain, "Brat, just you wait, our leader will be here soon, and it will be your time of death."

Mu Wen's shouts made Zi Chen extremely unhappy, and he knocked him out with a kick, then took away his spiritual ring.

The others were shocked, and they also cried out in alarm, but soon, Zi Chen knocked them out one by one and took away their spiritual rings.

From the beginning of the battle to the end, Zi Chen had only used ten breaths of time.

In the distance, the merchants and buyers were all dumbfounded. Zi Chen's powerful fighting strength was shocking their young hearts.

As for the merchants who had tried to approach Zi Chen, they were constantly moved sideways by Zi Chen's attacks. By now, they had moved more than a hundred meters away.

The entire market became quiet at this moment, and no one spoke. As for the people who had been shouting, they were all knocked out by Zi Chen.

Xi Sheng, who was walking toward the market, did not hear any fighting for a long time, and this made him feel uneasy. However, when he used his spiritual sense to check, he found that all of his people had fainted on the ground.

"Damn it."

He cursed, and his body turned into a stream of light, rushing toward the market. Then, the other leaders followed.

Soon, a group of more than twenty people entered the market, and then rushed toward Zi Chen.
