"Oh, this is a Star Core Fragment? I thought it was some kind of gem!"
Black Treasure said nonchalantly.
"Brother, I am the deputy head of the First Sect's External Affairs Hall. I would like to purchase this item on behalf of the First Sect. Would you be willing to part with it?
Oh, right, to show our sincerity, this meal is on the First Sect's treat. If you are willing, we can go together … No, I will send a message to the First Sect and ask the Sect Elder or Deputy Sect Leader to come and talk to you! "
Shopkeeper Jin looked at Black Treasure nervously.
"Treat?
Who are you looking down on?
Do I look like someone who doesn't have money?
Hurry up and take the money. Don't waste my time. I will keep the Star Core Fragment for fun. I am not selling it! "
Black Treasure was a greedy dragon. The more valuable something was, the more he valued it. How could he bear to sell it?
Of course, spending so much money on a meal was purely coincidental. He also wanted to show off a little.
"This … Since you have said so, I will not force you. I will do as you say!"
Shopkeeper Jin hesitated for a moment. He took out two million high-grade God Crystals from his storage bag and returned it. Then, he respectfully sent Black Treasure and Zhang Xing out of the restaurant.
When Zhang Xing and Black Treasure's figures disappeared, Shopkeeper Jin's eyes flashed coldly.
"Little black brat, I have mentioned the First Sect time and time again. You are not giving our First Sect any face!"
"That's right, Head Shopkeeper. That little black brat does not know what is good for him. If he had agreed to trade with us, the others would not have dared to have any ideas. But now, it is hard to say whether he will live to see the sun tomorrow!"
"Liuzi, immediately send a message to the sect and explain the situation here in detail. Tell the people in the sect to hurry up. If it's too late, the people from the other clans will secretly steal it."
The waiter Liuzi quickly ran to the City Lord's mansion.
The First Pavilion was not only the property of the First Sect, but also this city.
This city was called Stone River City. It could only be considered an ordinary city on the human planet. It was located in the northeast.
There weren't many outsiders doing business in this city, but there were quite a few spies.
The news of Hei Bao possessing a Star Core quickly spread throughout the city, causing the other races to be extremely shocked.
"We can't let it fall into the hands of the First Sect!"
This was what all the outsiders were thinking.
At the same time, they sent out assassins to keep an eye on the Black Treasure, waiting for an opportunity to kill and steal the treasure.
Black Treasure and Zhang Xing ignored the people who were following them. The sky was getting dark, but the two of them were still strolling around the city.
Black Treasure ate wherever he went. After eating enough at the restaurant, he started to eat the street food.
Zhang Xing specifically chose shops that sold maps and copies of ancient books to look at.
He wanted to know more about the Seventh Heaven and how to get to the Eighth Heaven.
Of course, such books were quite rare. The few that he found were all about local customs, mountains, and rivers. They were not of much help to him.
However, he now knew what kind of sect the First Sect was.
He also knew that the First Sect would not give up on the Star Core. They would meet again.
Therefore, Zhang Xing planned to find an inn to stay in and wait for the people from the First Sect.
At midnight, Black Treasure had eaten enough. The night market had also dispersed. Stone River City quieted down. All the shops on the street closed for the day, ending a busy day.
Zhang Xing and Black Treasure walked on the deserted street. A few hundred meters in front of them was an inn with lanterns.
They had just walked a few meters when the lanterns in the inn suddenly disappeared.
Two rows of green lanterns lit up on both sides of the street.
A murderous aura blew towards them.
Immediately after, a black shadow flashed.
The black shadow was covered with a black cloth, revealing only two eyes. He held a cold sword in his hand. Without saying anything, he directly stabbed towards Black Treasure.
At the same time, the two rows of green lanterns on the street suddenly exploded. A large amount of green gas blew towards them.
"Swoosh!"
The black shadow's sword did not have any fancy moves. It was just a simple assassination. It was simple and agile.
From the moment the black shadow appeared to the moment he stabbed and the lanterns shattered, the entire process took less than a breath's time.
It could be said that this was a premeditated assassination.
However, Black Treasure and Zhang Xing acted as if they did not see this. They continued to walk forward slowly.
The tip of the assassin's sword was not blocked at all. Ding! It directly pierced between Black Treasure's eyebrows.
The assassin's eyes flashed with joy. However, it disappeared in an instant. It was replaced by shock and doubt.
He was shocked that his sword did not pierce through the opponent's skin.
He was puzzled because he could not sense the opponent's cultivation level.
Although the sword was not a divine weapon, the opponent's cultivation level was at the middle stage of Level Seven. It should not be a problem to assassinate someone of the same level.
However, he still had a doubt. Why was it so easy to stab him?
He was not the main assassin. He was only there to attract the opponent's attention.
How could an assassin assassinate someone from the front?
The assassin was startled. He shook his divine power and stabbed forward with the sword in his hand again.
"Kacha!"
The body of the sword immediately shattered.
However, Black Treasure, who was stabbed, was still unharmed. He lifted his foot and landed lightly without stopping.
The thick green smoke blew past Black Treasure and Zhang Xing. However, they did not feel uncomfortable at all.
They had originally planned a perfect assassination. However, it was disrupted from the beginning.
At this moment, the other two assassins hidden in the darkness had no choice but to reveal themselves.
Swoosh!
Two cold lights pierced the back of Black Treasure's head at the same time.
Crack!
Crack!
The two swords shattered upon contact. They turned into a pile of debris behind Black Treasure's head.
The two assassins' pupils shrank. However, they did not stop their killing intent.
Two more swords suddenly appeared in their hands. They quickly stabbed toward Black Treasure's back.
Crack!
Crack!
The sound of two swords shattering could be heard.
At the same time, the assassin in front put two fingers together and pointed toward Black Treasure's throat.
Crack!
Two fingers shattered at the same time.
With a bang, Black Treasure's body crashed into the assassin in front of him.
With a crash, the assassin shattered into pieces like a piece of ice.
"Retreat!"
Seeing this horrifying scene, the two assassins at the back decisively stopped their attack and turned to escape.
Poof!
Poof! At this moment, the two assassins trembled. They suddenly realized that their divine power had disappeared.
Pain came from their chests. They looked down and saw two bowl-sized holes in their chests. They did not know when they had been hit by a sharp weapon.
Then, they lost consciousness …
Black Treasure smiled proudly. Trying to assassinate me from behind is simply courting death. Don't you know that I have a dragon tail?!
If the assassins knew that he was a dragon, they would not have dared to assassinate him.
Although the Seventh Heaven was still far from the Ninth Heaven, the dragons here, regardless of whether they were from the dragon clan or not, did not dare to act rashly.
This was because a Level Seven Divine Dragon was already powerful enough. If one did not have the confidence to kill it in one blow, the consequences of angering the Divine Dragon would be unimaginable.
If it was a Divine Dragon that acted alone, he would invite an ancient beast of the same level to take revenge on someone or a sect.
If it was a dragon from a small clan, their clan members would all take action.
Moreover, the older generation of humans would not sit idly by. They would also help the giant dragon.
