Boom! With a clench of five fingers, Qin Chen's body shattered and was instantly obliterated under the terrifying true essence, turning into nothingness.
Yet beside the true essence, a spatial aura permeated, and a remnant shadow appeared, transforming into Qin Chen's real body, who was completely unscathed.
In this critical moment, Qin Chen utilized the principles of Spatial Law to dodge Ouyang Nana's strike, naturally not suffering even a bit of injury.
Ling Yi and the others were instantly dumbfounded. What? Qin Chen actually managed to receive Ouyang Nana's attack, and he wasn't hurt at all?
Damn, this kid is too cunning!
Qin Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your patronage, safe travels."
You!
Ouyang Nana was momentarily stunned, then immediately furious.
She knew she had fallen for Qin Chen's trick. This kid was truly playing the pig to eat the tiger. He clearly understood the principles of Spatial Law and possessed powerful life-saving abilities, yet he deliberately feigned reluctance, provoking her to take out the royal potion for a bet.
So insidious, so cunning, is he even a man?
Old Gu stroked his beard and smiled. So Qin Chen had mastered such a spatial secret technique, no wonder he dared to make such a bet. Haha, now Ouyang Nana had truly stumbled.
After glaring at Qin Chen for a while, Ouyang Nana said, "Take another strike from me!"
"Weren't you just going to take one strike?" Qin Chen feigned surprise and said, "You aren’t going to back out, are you? There are so many people watching, and as the Holy Daughter of the Alchemy Pavilion, you wouldn’t go back on your word, would you?"
Ouyang Nana was indeed domineering, but she was also proud. Hearing Qin Chen say this, her face turned red.
With her status, she shouldn't have made a move against a Martial King. Now that she had struck once, she actually wanted to strike a second time—how humiliating.
However, if she didn’t defeat Qin Chen, she would lose the previous bet. Not only would she have to endure Qin Chen living across from her, but she would also have to bear the gossip of others. How could she accept that?
"Are you daring to take another strike?" She could only continue to provoke him.
Qin Chen extended his hand and beckoned, "If you take out five royal potions, all over a thousand years old, I might consider it."
Royal potions over a thousand years old were what Qin Chen needed the most. Once he entered the Ancient Yu Realm, he would definitely have to make use of them.
"Why don’t you go rob some?" Ouyang Nana retorted angrily. Five royal potions over a thousand years old was no small number for her. Her family was wealthy, but she was still young.
"Since you can't take them out, then forget it. A bet should end on a good note; I still understand that principle," Qin Chen said with a smile.
"You..." Ouyang Nana was about to explode with anger. Backing down at this moment would be equivalent to losing everything. She took a deep breath and said angrily, "I don’t have five, but I have three on me, and I can give them to you."
She was only a half-step Medicine Emperor and couldn't refine true royal-grade medicinal pills. Moreover, they were about to enter the Ancient Yu Realm—who would carry a bunch of royal-level spiritual medicines around?
"Only three? That seems a bit lacking. I think it's best to cut our losses, let it go," Qin Chen stroked his chin.
"I..." Ouyang Nana was almost infuriated to the point of spitting blood.
"Ouyang Nana, I can help you out. You still need two royal-level spiritual medicines, right? I have them!" Ling Yi coldly snorted as he walked over.
"If you give them, you need to add an extra hundred million high-grade true stones," Qin Chen said.
"Kid, are you looking to die?" Ling Yi exploded with rage. A hundred million high-grade true stones? This kid was truly insane; how could that be possible?
As long as Qin Chen took Ouyang Nana's strike, he could get five royal-level spiritual medicines. A hundred million high-grade true stones? Who did he think he was? Furthermore, killing was not allowed here; Ouyang Nana could at most heavily injure him. To suffer such losses while being heavily injured was too unprofitable.
