Chapter 909
The exclamation was extremely loud, and everyone heard it clearly. Zi Chen actually had a page of the Heavenly Book. This caused everyone's attention to fall on Zi Chen and the Monster Ape.
Their gazes wandered around wantonly. Their eyes were filled with hostility, greed, and desire. However, Zi Chen and the Devil Ape did not seem to have sensed their gazes as they flew straight ahead.
The Heavenly Book was a fatal temptation to everyone. Ceng Qing and the others' eyes flashed. Beside them, Hei Ba was also shocked by the content of the exclamation, and then said with a wry smile, "It seems that Mr. Wu can't come."
Several people's eyes moved from Zi Chen and the Monster Ape to Hei Ba. Hei Ba's expression was extremely bitter. He said, "Two years ago, my subordinates found the two of them and I brought them back. I thought they were ordinary warriors of the Innate Realm and would not be of much help to this trip to the Heavenly Book, so I brought them to Mr. Wu a year ago."
When they heard this, their expressions immediately changed. They naturally knew what kind of person Mr. Wu was and what kind of person he was. As long as someone came to him, he would torture them to death. It was impossible for them to leave alive. However, the situation now was that the two of them were alive, and they heard that the other party had a page of the Heavenly Book. The possibility of Mr. Wu being alive was almost zero.
While their expressions changed, they sighed in their hearts. The pervert they often called dead was really dead this time.
Since Zi Chen had the Heavenly Book and could kill Mr. Wu, his power was naturally not weak. Even at this moment, when everyone heard that he had the Heavenly Book, they did not immediately take action but kept thinking.
The next moment, another exclamation sounded, "It's Zi Chen, it's him. I saw it clearly at that time. After he killed the spiritual body of the Huo family, the aboriginals gave him a page of the Heavenly Book."
"Yes, when the spiritual body of the Huo family was killed and the Heavenly Book appeared, it caused a huge sensation in the gathering place."
This exclamation was very complete and very timely. When Hei Ba and the others, as well as those who did not know about Zi Chen's achievements, heard it, their expressions naturally changed again.
"Before the other party obtained the Heavenly Book, he could even kill the Spiritual Body. His combat power is not to be underestimated. Mr. Wu, you are simply courting death by looking for him."
Ceng Qing and the others looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes. As expected, not attacking immediately was a wise choice. The other party could even kill a spirit body, so he was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Hei Ba and Bai He looked at each other and saw the bitterness and regret in each other's eyes. They had the opportunity to become friends with an expert who had killed a spirit and possessed the Tomes of Arcane, but they missed the opportunity. This was one of the reasons they regretted. Another reason was that when Zi Chen and the Monster Ape had just arrived, they had not yet comprehended the Tomes of Arcane. If he had made up his mind and joined forces with Mr. Wu, they might have been able to kill him.
If they had killed Zi Chen back then, the two of them would have been able to obtain a page of the Heavenly Book. That would have been a huge gain. Unfortunately, it was too late for them to realize it now.
The matter of the Spiritual Body being destroyed was already public knowledge among the Trial Takers, so when Zi Chen appeared, everyone just looked at him in amazement. Because he had killed the Spiritual Body, it did not cause a sensation again.
Although there was the power of rules surging outside the storm, it was still extremely terrifying. Zi Chen and the Monster Ape saw it from afar, and the surprise in their eyes was no less than the others. The two deliberately bypassed the storm and flew over. The Monster Ape saw Hei Ba from afar, and at the same time signaled Zi Chen to look over.
Zi Chen saw Hei Ba in the crowd in the air. After landing, he strode towards Hei Ba with the Monster Ape.
Hei Ba's face slowly became gloomy, and next to him, Bai He's face also had a touch of frost.
As Zi Chen approached, his expression gradually became unfriendly. His goal was clear, and he was going straight for Hei Ba. Ceng Qing and the others looked at each other and took a step back. Obviously, they were using their actions to show that it was none of their business.
As Zi Chen approached, Hei Ba's fists were clenched tightly. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and his mind was tense to the extreme. If Zi Chen made any move, or showed any intention of attacking, he would attack.
Although attacking now would mess up all his arrangements, this was the price he had to pay for underestimating Zi Chen's combat power, even if he had to use some of his trump cards now.
As he approached, the unfriendliness in Zi Chen's eyes gradually disappeared, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. When he was in front of Hei Ba, he smiled faintly and said to Hei Ba, "Don't be excited, don't be nervous, and relax. I have a good temper, and I am soft-hearted. Since you told me a lot of secrets, I will temporarily suppress the urge to kill you. No matter what, I will let you live to see the Heavenly Book."
Hei Ba's face was gloomy, and his expression was twisted with anger. However, he suppressed it in the end and did not immediately attack. Beside him, the eyes of the others flashed with a strange light as they looked at Zi Chen.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Zi Chen. This was because not only did he kill the Huo Clan's spiritual body, but he also had a page of the Heavenly Book on him.
Everyone had come here for the Heavenly Book, and now that Zi Chen had a page, many people had strange thoughts. At this moment, the expressions of the Trial Takers changed, and their spiritual thoughts quickly transmitted their confidence.
However, no matter how much they thought and discussed, no one attacked Zi Chen. With so many people here, no one wanted to be the first to attack Zi Chen. This was because Zi Chen with the Heavenly Book was very dangerous. The death rate was very high if they attacked first.
After thinking about it, Zeng Qing and the others also gave up on the idea of attacking Zi Chen together. Even if they attacked together and killed Zi Chen, it might not be good, because there were still many Trial Takers from other factions eyeing them covetously.
It was because of this that Zi Chen was able to walk through a pack of wolves unscathed. Of course, the premise was that Zi Chen was not a sheep, but a tiger, a fierce tiger.
After saying this to Hei Ba, he turned around and left, leaving Hei Ba with his back. However, Hei Ba was unable to do anything to Zi Chen in front of this back.
The fact that he had killed a spiritual body put a lot of pressure on Hei Ba. He felt that there were many unforeseen events in this treasure hunt.
Just as Zi Chen was walking without fear, a cold voice rang out, "You are the one who killed my Huo Clan's spiritual body."
Five Trial Takers walked over. They were all wearing flame-like armor. From a distance, they looked like five balls of fire. With such obvious attire, they were obviously not afraid of being recognized as members of the Huo Clan. The five of them stepped forward and blocked Zi Chen's path. Obviously, they were here to cause trouble for Zi Chen.
They knew that Zi Chen had killed a spiritual body and comprehended the Heavenly Book. Yet, they still dared to cause trouble for Zi Chen. It was obvious that they were very confident.
Seeing that Zi Chen was blocked, Hei Ba, Zeng Qing, and the other local factions' expressions turned ugly. The battle for the Heavenly Book was going to be very bad, because they were not even afraid of someone who had killed a spiritual body before.
Zi Chen glanced at the Human Origin Stage Huo Clan members in front of him and sneered, "Not only did I kill a spiritual body of the Huo Clan, I also killed the Huo Clan's Xiantian Realm cultivator, Huo Si. If you think about it carefully, I have killed a lot of people from the Huo Clan."
Zi Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile. He then asked, "Why? Are you asking me for confirmation? Are you trying to cause trouble for me?"
"You're courting death," the leader of the Huo Clan said angrily.
Zi Chen's face was still full of mockery. He smiled and said, "Huo Si and the spiritual body of the Huo Clan have said the same thing to me before, but they are all dead."
Zi Chen's threat made the five people's expressions turn ugly. However, it was obviously unrealistic to think that a threat could make the five of them retreat.
"You're courting death."
The leader of the Huo Clan shouted again. Then, his body flashed and flames rose around him. He directly turned into a ray of fire and rushed towards Zi Chen.
The other party did not say much and directly attacked. Moreover, he was the first to attack Zi Chen. He was full of confidence.
When the local forces saw this, their expressions turned ugly. Obviously, the other party had come prepared. Perhaps, the second spiritual body of the Huo Clan was hiding in the dark.
Xiantian Yuan Qi surged. The Yuan Qi of the Huo Clan was emitting a terrifying aura. He rushed towards Zi Chen and launched a powerful attack.
The flames swept out with a roaring sound. They were like rolling waves of flames that wreaked havoc toward Zi Chen.
Facing this attack, Zi Chen's expression did not change. He only snorted coldly and said, "You are the one who is courting death."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Chen clenched his fist. A golden fist light appeared on the surface of his fist. Perfect strength began to surge. Then, Zi Chen punched out.
The golden fist was dazzling. It was like a blazing golden sun. The golden fist light directly hit the flames. The two types of energy collided, causing a loud explosion. Then, the void distorted violently. The golden and fire energies formed ripples that began to spread.
Just as the ripples spread, a figure could be seen retreating pathetically from the ripples. It was the Yuan Qi of the Huo Clan. As a Xiantian Realm martial artist, he was strong in battle. However, he was actually pushed back by Zi Chen with a single attack.
As for Zi Chen, he stood still after the attack. He allowed the energy to wreak havoc around him. He did not move at all.
After being pushed back by a single attack, Yuan Qi of the Huo Clan's expression changed slightly. He knew that there was a gap between the two of them, but he did not expect it to be so obvious. It was only a single exchange. It was far from enough to determine the winner. Moreover, he still had many mysterious techniques that he had not used yet.
At this moment, Zi Chen snorted coldly and said, "You're not even qualified to test my strength. You are dreaming if you think you can kill me with just this little bit of strength."
Faced with Zi Chen's mockery, Yuan Qi of the Huo Clan roared again and stepped forward. He was in a group of five. However, he was the only one who attacked at this moment. The other four did not attack.
Just as the Yuan Qi of the Huo Clan was about to attack Zi Chen for the second time, the experts of the Five Elements were secretly discussing how to kill Zi Chen.
