“Friend, I can guarantee that you have made a wrong decision.” The expressions of Zhou Xun and the others instantly darkened.
“This is not necessarily the case.” The Elder of the Demon Tribe said with a sinister smile: “As long as we kill you all, we can obtain at least one and a half fields of spiritual herbs, along with several treasures from your bodies. This is a great deal; where can we find such a good opportunity usually?”
The Elder of the Demon Tribe was quite pleased with himself, as if he had truly been swayed by Qin Chen's words.
“Are you not afraid of being hunted down by our Great Zhou Dynasty?” Zhou Xun spoke coldly.
The Elder of the Demon Tribe grinned malevolently: “Afraid, of course, but who will know it was us who acted? By then, we can just say that the fog in this valley suddenly disappeared, leading to an outbreak of the Yin Soul Beasts, and you all died at their hands. Your Great Zhou Dynasty can’t possibly pin the actions of the Yin Soul Beasts on us, right? What do you think, young brother?”
The Elder of the Demon Tribe looked at Qin Chen with a smile.
“Ha ha, senior is indeed experienced.” Qin Chen replied with compliance, and smiled: “It was indeed the Yin Soul Beasts that killed several of you, so it cannot be blamed on us.”
“Good, good, you three are really something. Do you think you have us cornered?”
Zhou Xun's tone grew colder as he exchanged a glance with the otherworldly slaughterer beside him.
“Or what do you think?” Qin Chen sneered, seemingly unaware of their covert communication.
Suddenly, a sinister look appeared on Zhou Xun's face as he hissed, “Brat, do you think this palace has been waiting until now without any trump cards? Attack!”
As soon as his words fell, a black talisman that emanated a terrifying aura appeared in Zhou Xun's hand, and without thinking, he instantly threw it towards Qin Chen.
As soon as the black talisman appeared in the void, all the true qi in the world converged towards it. The black talisman suddenly shone, and a terrifying aura that made one’s heart palpitate spread out, even instilling a sense of fear deep within the heart of the Elder of the Demon Tribe, a peak mid-stage Martial Venerable.
“It’s a sixth-stage peak attack talisman.”
Qin Chen immediately recognized what the black talisman Zhou Xun threw was; it was a sixth-stage peak Explosion Talisman.
Qin Chen was well aware of the terror of the Explosion Talisman; even a late-stage Martial Venerable would be gravely injured or even perish if struck by it.
Qin Chen never expected that Zhou Xun would possess a sixth-stage peak Explosion Talisman and, without hesitation, activate it, targeting not the Elder of the Demon Tribe, but his own formation.
If it were an ordinary sixth-stage talisman, he might have been able to resist it, but the Explosion Talisman could easily break through his formation, leaving him with no means to counter it. In just a breath’s time, it could create a breach in his formation.
In that single breath, he wouldn't even have enough time to activate the teleportation array to escape.
“Boom!”
In an instant, the Explosion Talisman had already blasted against the defensive formation in front of Qin Chen.
“Boom boom boom boom boom…”
In the blink of an eye, a series of explosions sounded. The formation flags set up in front of Qin Chen exploded one after another.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
At the same time, many strong warriors beside Zhou Xun, like swimming fish, leapt up fiercely towards Qin Chen, ready to seize him.
“What a cunning guy!”
Qin Chen felt a chill in his heart; no wonder Zhou Xun and the others had waited until the end and remained so calm. They had long since devised such a plan.
The fact that they had held this back likely meant they were waiting for the right moment to strike, even controlling him. At that point, all the spiritual herbs he had obtained from the major forces would end up in this guy's hands, becoming his spoils of war.
