767 It Keeps Increasing (1/2)
Yi!
The Blood Ruin Sword hovered above Ye Chen's head, its tip covered in a bloody glow, issuing sword cries, ”The weak are the prey for the strong. You should be quite clear of your circumstances now, so don't do anything stupid.”
Whiz!
Saying these words, Ye Chen pointed his sword fingers. The Blood Ruin Sword turned into a blood ray, shooting toward the spear artist fighting with Murong Qingcheng.
This spear artist was quite formidable, as he was able to raise his spear at the crucial moment to defend. Unfortunately, Ye Chen's Sword Control Art had already attained the realm of Nine Identical Swords. He was able to resist the sword's main body, but had no time for the sword images. Spurting out blood, he retreated back.
Almost all the experts brought by Sima Zonguan had received heavy injuries while the former himself could be either dead or alive.
Under Ye Chen's deterrence, nobody dared to move; it would be meaningless even if they wanted to do so. Their current strength had been greatly reduced. Their bodies had a trace of the Destruction Sword Intent, which was extremely difficult to get rid of. Even the slightest bit of carelessness would allow it to enter their Sea of Soul and injure their soul.
Plundering these people's Zhen Yuan crystals, Ye Chen felt quite surprised. They had a little too few crystals—at most five hundred and at least one hundred. In total, they didn't have even three thousand crystals. They might as well have been a chief of Black Power.
Ye Chen didn't know that the Blackwater Alliance was different from the Black Powers. Their Zhen Yuan crystals were stored in warehouses instead of carrying them on their person. If they were ordered to leave the island, they would naturally be compensated fully by the alliance. On the other hand, although chiefs of Black Powers had many Zhen Yuan crystals, they couldn't go out. They were like reared fat sheep. No matter how much fat they had on their body, it didn't matter.
Sima Zonguan was not dead. The moment he appeared above the ocean, he was instantly subdued by Ye Chen and his storage ring was snatched.
”You dare!” Sima Zonguan turned pale. He didn't expect that Ye Chen would have such guts to even rob them.
”You're still talking that? Don't you think it's too ridiculous?” Wiping off the former's soul imprint from the ring, Ye Chen sent a trace of consciousness inside. ”Hehe…seems like you're one of the top characters. Your ring actually has a hundred thousand crystals.”
As long as a half-step King gave a hundred thousand Zhen Yuan crystals, they could leave. Sima Zonguan could clearly leave the island at any moment.
”You'll regret it!”
Sima Zonguan naturally knew that he was not Ye Chen's opponent, and could only watch him take the crystals.
”We'll see.” Collecting the Zhen Yuan crystals, Ye Chen nodded at Murong Qingcheng and took off toward the fifth Devouring island.
”Zonguan, what do we do now? This kid's strength is several times higher than we thought. With our strength, we absolutely can't suppress him.” The other Blackwater Alliance experts flew over to Sima Zonguan's side.
Sima Zonguan said gloomily, ”Let him be arrogant for a while. I'll go invite the crown prince.”
”Invite crown prince?”
The paper-thin old man was astonished, ”The crown prince doesn't like being annoyed. Although this kid is strong, it's not to that extent, is it?”
The crown prince they were talking about was the number one half-step King of the Black Water Alliance, and also an invincible leader of the young generation. Although they hadn't seen the crown prince act, they had heard that he was a 'strongest' half-step King who almost had no rivals below the Life and Death realm.
Sima Zonguan shook his head, ”He is strong. Others won't have an absolute certainty, and only the crown prince can do that.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
He refused to believe that Ye Chen was a 'strongest' half-step King. 'Strongest' half-step Kings were too rare, even rarer than Life and Death Kings. One might be a King, but it didn't necessarily mean that they were a 'strongest' half-step King at some point.
For example, although the number of half-step Kings were not like stars in the sky, they were still quite a lot. However, 'strongest' half-step Kings among them were only three.
”Hehe…If the crown prince acts, it'll obviously be a surefire. No matter how strong this kid is, he can't escape his fate of death in the crown prince's hands.” Seeing Sima Zonguan's firm resolution, the numerous Blackwater Alliance experts revealed cold smiles.
…
The fifth island had half the number of people on the fourth island, and the sixth island had even less—only three to four thousand people. Robbing the two island's black powers, Ye Chen obtained thirty thousand crystals altogether, which was at least better than nothing.
”Our Zhen Yuan crystals are already above three hundred thousand. Do we leave or not?” Murong Qingcheng asked.
Ye Chen faintly nodded, ”We both have peak Sea of Soul cultivation bases, and only need to pay a total of a hundred thousand crystals. We'll still have two hundred thousand remaining, and we also have your demonic energy crystals Lets leave! We can't get careless.”
Ye Chen was still somewhat apprehensive of the Blackwater Alliance. If a King came for them, they wouldn't even be able to escape.
Taking out the stone altar formed naturally in the cave, Ye Chen put hundred thousand crystals in it.
Buzz!
The altar shone with a dim glow and the Zhen Yuan crystals disappeared. However, there was no further movement at all. Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng were still in this world.
”We've been cheated?” Ye Chen's face turned unsightly.
”The rules here won't allow me to cheat anybody?” Right at this moment, a strange ripple appeared in the space, and the holy spirit's figure gradually materialized.
Murong Qingcheng stared intently at the holy spirit and said, ”Then why can't we leave?”
