Chapter 974: By What Right? 🤔

Published: December 25, 2024

“Now if I take action, I will have at least a fifty percent chance of killing him.”

After careful consideration, Qin Chen quickly assessed the situation.

After breaking through again, in terms of strength, he had already surpassed Xue Shou Wang, but that did not mean he could kill Xue Shou Wang.

Defeating and killing are two different concepts.

Xue Shou Wang was, after all, a peak Martial King at the early stage of seventh rank. Once he realized he was outmatched, he would certainly flee for his life. Given Qin Chen's current cultivation level, stopping him would not be an easy task.

Let alone Xue Shou Wang, even when he fought against the Heng Tian Xiao from the Dayong Dynasty, he had far surpassed his opponent, yet Heng Tian Xiao had managed to escape using spatial talismans.

As a seventh rank Martial King, Xue Shou Wang certainly had more life-saving means compared to Heng Tian Xiao.

However, while he might not be able to kill Xue Shou Wang, Qin Chen did not want to see Xue Shou Wang remain here either.

Buzz!

A black imprint suddenly appeared, instantly expanding into a massive mountain, crashing down towards Xue Shou Wang.

“Brat, do you think I'm afraid of you!”

Xue Shou Wang was furious; Qin Chen's attitude of taking action without hesitation was clearly a sign of disrespect.

With a roar, Xue Shou Wang struck at the black imprint with his palm.

“Boom!”

As their attacks collided, Xue Shou Wang felt a terrifying force surge towards him. The power of the imprint was incomparably stronger than when he had fought against Qin Chen earlier. He was instantly sent flying several dozen meters, nearly crashing to the ground.

Without hesitation, Qin Chen activated the black imprint again and pressed down forcefully.

Boom, boom, boom...

The black imprint, like a giant hammer, slammed down wildly, forcing Xue Shou Wang to continuously defend himself and retreat. After dozens of strikes, Xue Shou Wang could no longer withstand it and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face paling.

“Brat, we can talk this over.” Seeing that Qin Chen intended to press on, Xue Shou Wang hurriedly shouted in panic.

Qin Chen coldly chuckled, “What is there to talk about between us?”

Even as he said this, he marveled at Xue Shou Wang's defense, which was indeed formidable. A normal Martial King would have been gravely injured by his consecutive attacks.

“Brat, look, there are three black spheres here, and each sphere has incredible defensive power. With your strength, it won't be easy to break through. As far as I know, experts from other dynasties are certainly on their way. At that time, the treasures here may not belong to us. I have a suggestion: why don't we team up to break through these spheres, and then split the treasures equally? Once we have the treasures, we can settle our grudges. What do you think?”

Xue Shou Wang's eyes flashed as he quickly proposed.

“Team up to break the spheres? Then split the treasures and resolve our grudges later?” Qin Chen raised an eyebrow and repeated.

“Yes!” Xue Shou Wang nodded eagerly.

Yet Qin Chen sneered, “Tell me, why should I?”

Why should he?

As soon as those words came out, Xue Shou Wang's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He was a dignified peak Martial King at the early stage of seventh rank, teaming up with a half-step Martial King brat to split treasures, yet the other party actually dared to ask why?

When did even a commoner from a lowly dynasty dare to look down on him like this?

If he could, Xue Shou Wang would have loved to slap Qin Chen dead right there, but at that moment, he could only take a deep breath to suppress his anger and said, “Brat, you have some strength, but do you think you alone can oppose the seven great dynasties?”

Xue Shou Wang sneered, “Think about it: if the geniuses from the seven great dynasties discovered such a treasure, what would happen if they couldn't explore it? They would definitely send messages to the higher-ups of their dynasties. With the strength of the seven great dynasties, it would be nothing difficult for them to send a few Martial Kings back like my Da Qian Dynasty. I can guarantee that those Martial Kings are already on their way.”
