The Mysterious Rusty Sword in front of him kept swirling, releasing waves of aura that made the master of the dark prison and the Lord of the Giant Fangs feel uneasy. Qin Chen coldly said, “If you want to fight, then fight. No need for nonsense. Just a mere peak of the third layer of transcendence. You can be arrogant in front of other masters of forbidden zones, but in front of me, the Underworld Lord, you’re still far from it.”
The master of the dark prison was shaken. At first, when he heard Qin Chen say this, he thought Qin Chen was just boasting. But after the previous clash with Qin Chen, he clearly understood that the Qin Chen before him indeed had this confidence.
Just the strength he had displayed earlier was already not inferior to him, a peak of the third layer of transcendence expert.
Qin Chen looked at the Lord of the Giant Fangs, took a few steps forward, and said coldly, “Aren't you looking to deal with me? Why don’t you hurry up and make a move? Killing you sooner will give me time to explore this place.”
As he spoke, Qin Chen's spatial domain extended out, carrying a chilling killing intent that instantly slammed into the Lord of the Giant Fangs. With a loud bang, the Lord of the Giant Fangs was directly blown away by Qin Chen's spatial domain, his face pale and nearly spitting out ghost blood.
If it weren’t for the master of the dark prison being nearby to intervene, just this impact from Qin Chen's domain would have left the Lord of the Giant Fangs severely injured.
The Lord of the Giant Fangs looked at the master of the dark prison in terror, and the master of the dark prison shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, the Lord of the Giant Fangs felt a heavy weight in his heart and quickly bowed to Qin Chen in fear, saying, “I was blind and offended the senior Underworld Lord. I am willing to compensate for your losses, and I hope the senior can show mercy and spare me this once.”
By now, the Lord of the Giant Fangs knew that the master of the dark prison was already having thoughts of retreat.
He understood that if the master of the dark prison did not help him, continuing to fight Qin Chen would lead to only one outcome: his death. Perhaps the master of the dark prison could rely on the peak of the underworld soldiers to have a chance of escaping, but he would definitely die without a doubt.
Seeing that the Lord of the Giant Fangs had already spoken, the master of the dark prison also stepped forward and clasped his fists toward Qin Chen, saying, “Underworld Lord, we are not unfamiliar with each other. I was rash earlier. I ask the Underworld Lord for mercy. Both the Lord of the Giant Fangs and I are willing to compensate for your losses.”
Qin Chen coldly smiled, “Earlier, this fellow attacked me without any hesitation, and now that he can’t win, he wants me to let him go. Where is there such a good deal? Moreover, what treasures do you have that can move me? Or are you willing to hand over your Purgatory Treasure as compensation?”
Hearing this, the master of the dark prison's expression changed.
The Purgatory Treasure was his most core treasure and also his strongest trump card. If he handed over the Purgatory Treasure, he would truly have no room to resist in front of Qin Chen.
“I have some items I brought from the underworld, many of which are top-quality goods. You can take a look.”
As he spoke, the master of the dark prison raised his hand, and an Underworld Storage Stone shot towards Qin Chen, who quickly caught it.
“Hmm? Underworld veins? And some top materials among the transcendent level? Oh, there are actually some top techniques from the underworld?” Qin Chen's heart stirred.
It must be said that the master of the dark prison was extremely decisive; the items he offered were indeed valuable and could drive some underworld experts mad if taken outside.
“There are indeed quite a few items.” Qin Chen put away the Underworld Storage Stone, his killing intent gradually dissipating, but his tone carried a hint of mockery.
