Chapter 887

As a Xiantian realm martial artist of the Huo Family, Huo Si had experienced many battles along the way. He might not be able to compare with Zi Chen; after all, he had the support of the Huo Family. But, in terms of ruthlessness, the two were on par.

So, in terms of ruthlessness, he wasn't afraid of Zi Chen. If Zi Chen risked his life to fight with him, he would accompany him and risk his life as well.

Both of them unleashed their sure-kill attacks. But, Huo Si's preparations weren't enough. After the fire blade in his hand was sent flying by Zi Chen's powerful punch, his chest was exposed. With only an energy barrier protecting his body, the Dragon Soul Spear was thrusting towards his chest at extreme speed.

At this moment, Huo Si's Strange Item attack was just a hair's breadth away from Zi Chen's chest. With his extreme speed, this hair's breadth was enough for Zi Chen to completely abandon the Dragon Soul Spear and retreat after piercing through Huo Si's chest, dodging the fatal blow.

Huo Si didn't seem to have noticed such a large opening. But, even if he did, it was already too late and he couldn't launch an effective counterattack.

The Dragon Soul Spear ruthlessly stabbed into Huo Si's chest. The energy barrier protecting his body shattered without any surprise. But, just as Zi Chen thought that the spear would be able to pierce through Huo Si's chest, he felt a resistance coming from the tip of the spear.

"Ding."

With a light sound, the tip of the spear was completely blocked outside of Huo Si's chest. Zi Chen's expression instantly stiffened as shock appeared on his face.

In that split second of pause, the strange object rapidly shot towards Zi Chen's chest. Zi Chen's energy barrier was unable to block it at all, and the strange object's nail pierced through the barrier with a 'pu' sound, nailing itself into Zi Chen's chest.

"Haha."

Seeing the Strange Item nail into Zi Chen's chest, Huo Si laughed out loud. It was as if he could already see the scene of Zi Chen being nailed to death.

The stunned expression on Zi Chen's face disappeared in an instant as he looked at Huo Si coldly and calmly. Huo Si's expression changed as he sensed that something was wrong. His figure flashed as he prepared to retreat. However, at this moment, a light flashed beside Zi Chen as two figures suddenly appeared.

There were two identical Zi Chen. One was radiating a golden light, while the other was radiating a brilliant silver light. As soon as the two of them appeared, they both pointed at the fire.

An ultimate energy shot out from between their fingers. This ultimate energy contained a frightening aura. When it arrived in front of Huo Si, it collided and exploded.

A surge of energy exploded in front of Huo Si, forming a destructive storm. There were two types of energy within the destructive storm, and Huo Si was the first to be sucked in.

Within the storm, Huo Si's miserable cries could be heard. Zi Chen's expression was cold and calm as he took this opportunity to retreat and avoid the destructive storm.

At this moment, the Strange Item nail was still nailed into Zi Chen's chest. Golden blood dripped from his chest. This was only a superficial wound. The real fatal wound was the destructive energy contained within the Strange Item. This energy was trying to destroy Zi Chen's body and soul.

However, Zi Chen had a Level Eight Perfect Physique. His blood and bones had been tempered by heavenly lightning and were extremely resilient. They formed layers of defense to resist the destructive energy.

Zi Chen's eyes stared straight ahead as he allowed the destructive energy in his body to attack his defenses.

As the destructive storm continued, Huo Si's miserable cries lasted for two breaths. The battle between the other Innate Stage warriors in the distance stopped because of Huo Si's cries.

Everyone's eyes were on Zi Chen and the destructive storm that was letting out Huo Si's miserable cries. As for Zi Chen's two clones, they dissipated after one attack. This trump card could kill someone unexpectedly, so Zi Chen would not let others see it.

The battle just now was extremely intense, so no one noticed this scene. Now that the energy storm had formed, everyone thought that it was Zi Chen who made it.

After three breaths, the destructive storm slowly dissipated, and so did Huo Si's miserable cries.

After five breaths, the destructive storm completely disappeared. An incomplete figure fell from the sky. Half of Huo Si's face was badly mutilated, and half of his arm and both legs were gone. Naturally, his vitality was gone.

After being destroyed by the two clones, Huo Si's clothes were also destroyed by the energy, revealing a fiery-red armored stomach. It was this stomach that had blocked Zi Chen's powerful attack, and now it was protecting Huo Si's upper body.

Seeing Huo Si's dead body, everyone was shocked, and fear grew in their hearts. The two sides had only fought for a short time, but Huo Si was easily killed by Zi Chen.

"Kill without mercy."

Just as everyone was shocked, Zi Chen's cold voice rang out. Then, Zi Chen descended from the sky and walked towards Huo Si's corpse with his back to the crowd.

"Kill!"

Tyrant shouted. He took out a strange item first. It was a withered branch that emitted lightning. The branch flew to the head of a Xiantian Stage warrior, and a bolt of heavenly lightning shot out from it.

A bolt of heavenly lightning shot out, and several cracks appeared on the withered branch. The descending bolt of heavenly lightning also heavily injured a Xiantian Stage warrior. In the next moment, the Flying Divine Tiger rushed up and smashed the Xiantian Stage warrior's head.

Another Xiantian Stage warrior was killed, and the fear on everyone's faces intensified. Especially when they saw the branch flying towards them again, everyone's expression changed, and they began to flee.

Huo Si's death shocked everyone, and coupled with the powerful attacks of Tyrant and the others, they were extremely flustered. At this moment, everyone was only focused on escaping, and no one noticed that there was a strange item nailed to Zi Chen's chest.

Zi Chen slowly landed beside Huo Si, and finally couldn't help coughing out a mouthful of golden blood. His body swayed, and he almost fell.

Su Mengyao and Lin Xue quickly rushed forward to support Zi Chen. Both of them saw the strange item nailed to Zi Chen's chest, and their expressions changed greatly.

"Zi Chen, are you okay?" Lin Xue asked anxiously.

Zi Chen's face was pale, but he shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

"You're still saying you're fine? The strange item is nailed to your chest." Lin Xue's eyes reddened, and she almost cried. She was afraid that something would happen to Zi Chen.

Zi Chen shook his head again and said, "I'm really fine. Now, let's go and get my harvest."

The two naturally wouldn't go. They both looked at Zi Chen, afraid that something would happen to Zi Chen as soon as they left.

"I'll pick up the harvest. You hurry up and get that thing out." Tyrant chased for a while before returning.

Zi Chen reached into his chest. As the golden light around his body surged, he grabbed the nail and pulled it out with great force.

At this moment, the nail seemed to have grown on Zi Chen's chest. As Zi Chen pulled it out with great force, he felt as if his blood, flesh, and meridians were being pulled out. This was caused by the strength of the nail entering every part of his body. Under Zi Chen's forceful pull, it was as if his tendons and muscles were being pulled out.

As the nail was pulled out, Zi Chen's face instantly lost all color. It was as if there was no strength left in his body. If it weren't for the two women supporting him, he might have collapsed.

"This kind of life-risking method isn't worth it."

The women were so worried that they couldn't say a word. After taking away the things on Huo Si's body, Tyrant stood up and said.

Zi Chen swallowed a pill, and his pale face became rosy again. The bloody hole in his chest also began to heal. His complexion recovered almost instantly, and his voice became strong again. "Just an injury in exchange for Huo Si's life. This exchange is very worthwhile. If we were to fight based on strength, I'm afraid it would take a long time to determine the victor. It would be troublesome if the others came to help. Oh right, how was the harvest?"

Tyrant raised the spiritual ring in his hand and smiled. "Naturally, it was a great harvest. This Armor Stomach is also not bad. Its defensive power is super strong, and it should be able to block several attacks from the mysterious object. Hurry up and put it on."

After saying that, Tyrant tossed the Armor Stomach he took from Huo Si's body to Zi Chen.

Zi Chen accepted it without hesitation and put it on in front of everyone. After killing Huo Si, it was naturally time to deal with Jin Yan and the others. When the time came, it would be a fierce battle. With the Armor Stomach, Zi Chen's safety was guaranteed.

A few minutes later, Zi Chen's injuries were completely healed. Only then did the three women relax. However, this delay meant that the obsidian in this world would be taken away by others.

However, Zi Chen didn't care. As long as he found the Xiantian expert who took the obsidian, he would directly kill him.

After recovering from their injuries, the group continued on their way.

"Where to now?" Tyrant asked.

Zi Chen said heroically, "Find Jin Yan and the others and kill them."

"Take the initiative to kill."

"Not bad." Zi Chen nodded.

"Taking the initiative to kill people is not your style."

"It wasn't in the past, but it is now."

As they spoke, Zi Chen and the others turned into streaks of light and left this dark world, stepping into another world.

"Although this little fellow is strong and ruthless, he lacks decisiveness, especially when it comes to killing. His decisiveness now, was it your idea?" Above the world, an old man asked.

Another person nodded. "Of course."

The old man's expression immediately turned suspicious. "Although this little fellow isn't very smart, he definitely won't trust people easily. Why would he listen to you?"

The other old man glanced at him and laughed. "Didn't you laugh at me for not knowing how to count? I was tricked by this little fellow and gave him more than a thousand contribution points for nothing."

"That's right. Weren't you tricked by him? It was supposed to be ten times, but you gave him eleven times."

"That's why I said that my honesty moved him. When he heard my voice transmission, he naturally guessed my identity, so he agreed. This is called trust, you know? You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have laughed at me before."

The old man curled his lips. "Who doesn't know how to trust?"

Zi Chen indeed heard a familiar voice, so he decisively took the obsidian. In addition, Zi Chen changed his previous passive approach and chose to take the initiative.

Because of his contact with the old man, he felt that the old man wasn't a bad person. He trusted him.

The news of Huo Si's death quickly spread through the nine dark worlds. When Jin Yan heard this, his expression changed greatly.

"Tu Luo."

At the same time, Zi Chen saw Tu Luo of the Tu family. The latter was leading a group of people to fight against the demons, taking advantage of the situation to steal the obsidian.

Hearing Zi Chen's shout, Tu Luo's expression changed greatly. When he saw Zi Chen, he turned around and ran.
