Simple words, yet carrying a deadly determination: If you don’t give it to me, I will kill you.
As the words fell, the atmosphere was stunned.
Lonely Eagle Tianzun looked at Qin Chen with anger and despair. He could feel the murderous intent emanating from Qin Chen; it was real. This madman, if he truly didn’t give the stakes, might really kill him, the steward of the Human Alliance City, right here in the Great Hall.
Arrogant and reckless! That was him.
“I’ll give it!”
Lonely Eagle Tianzun dared not hesitate any longer and quickly took out a storage ring from his body, throwing it directly to Qin Chen.
He admitted defeat.
Because he was afraid of death; the stronger the person, the more afraid they are of dying.
With a snap, Qin Chen caught the storage ring, his gaze sweeping over it. Suddenly, a terrifying murderous aura surged from Qin Chen, engulfing Lonely Eagle Tianzun, accompanied by Qin Chen's sharp sword.
Puff! The golden sword thrust forward, and Lonely Eagle Tianzun's body once again became illusory under the pressure of Qin Chen's sword intent, swaying as if it might shatter.
“Are you toying with me?”
Qin Chen's cold gaze fixed on Lonely Eagle Tianzun.
In the distance, everyone was dumbfounded, showing expressions of shock.
What was going on with Qin Chen?
Lonely Eagle Tianzun had already handed over the stakes; why was he still striking?
Qin Chen’s icy gaze grew colder as he stated, “The stake was five pinnacle heaven venerable holy veins, but you only gave me two. A dignified steward of the Human Alliance City wouldn’t want to default on his debt, would he?”
Two pinnacle heaven venerable holy veins?
Everyone looked at Lonely Eagle Tianzun in astonishment.
Indeed, the original stake was five, yet Lonely Eagle Tianzun had only produced two pinnacle heaven venerable holy veins, which was quite inappropriate.
Lonely Eagle Tianzun's face turned red, filled with embarrassment and anger as he hurriedly said, “I only currently have these two. The remaining three, I will give to you later.”
Humiliated and unable to show his face, he wished he could find a hole to hide in.
A dignified Lonely Eagle Tianzun, steward of the Human Alliance City, after the duel, was unable to present enough stakes. If this got out, he would undoubtedly lose all face.
But compared to face, clearly, life was more important.
Qin Chen shook his head, the terrifying sword aura swirling around him, “No, five is five. One hand for the holy veins, one hand for the people. Fair and just.”
As his voice fell, the sword intent around Qin Chen grew even more intense.
Buzz! Lonely Eagle Tianzun's body trembled continuously, as if it would shatter under this sword aura.
“Don’t…” Lonely Eagle Tianzun shouted in panic, his eyes filled with fear. At this moment, the effect of the Dissolving God Transformation Pill on him had already faded considerably, combined with the damage to his body and soul, he could not withstand Qin Chen’s sword attack.
“Boom!”
A treasure emitting a vast aura flew out from his hand; it was his top-tier heaven venerable treasure, the Skytear Claw.
It flew directly into Qin Chen’s hand.
“This is my renowned weapon, the Skytear Claw. This item is a top-tier heaven venerable treasure and can be valued at one pinnacle heaven venerable holy vein.”
“Top-tier heaven venerable treasure?”
Qin Chen took the Skytear Claw, his brow slightly furrowing, “This broken thing, who wants it?”
Broken thing?
Everyone around was dumbstruck. This was a top-tier heaven venerable treasure!
Only a pinnacle heaven venerable expert like Lonely Eagle Tianzun could possess such a treasure. An ordinary heaven venerable force would be extremely lucky to have a regular heaven venerable treasure, let alone a top-tier one, which could increase the strength of that pinnacle heaven venerable by more than thirty percent.
You call such a treasure a broken thing?
But when the crowd understood Qin Chen’s identity, they fell silent.
Forget that this kid is the acting Hall Master of Tian Gong! Tian Gong is the top refiner force of the human race, almost thirty percent of the treasures in the entire Human Race Alliance are produced by Tian Gong.
