On the messy ground, the layers of ground had collapsed, and huge cracks were crawling like giant pythons. The destruction of the area was unbearable to look at.
At this time, the area was in a shocked silence. Everyone's eyes were staring blankly at the severely injured figure on the ground in the distance.
No one would have thought that Kim Jung-cheon, who was supposed to be the strongest person here, would be defeated by Mu Chen!
That was a top power at the peak of Grade Seven Sovereign. Even those supreme talents of the top Divine Beasts clans would find it difficult to deal with him. But now, he had been defeated by Mu Chen, who only had the strength of a Grade Six Sovereign.
This was something that not only Golden Break and the rest found unbelievable, but even Han Shan and the rest were shocked.
Although they had never underestimated Mu Chen, in fact, the biggest expectation in their hearts was that Mu Chen could stabilize the situation. Even if he could not defeat Kim Jung-cheon, as long as he could hold him back and show a strength that made the other party fear him, the Golden Lion Clan and the Sirius Clan would not dare to easily monopolize the treasures of the Treasure Beast.
As for defeating Kim Jung-cheon and driving him out of the competition, they had never thought of this from the beginning.
Under the numerous shocked gazes, Mu Chen's figure gradually descended from the sky. His gaze was indifferent as he stared at the miserable figure in the distance. He faintly said, "You still have a breath left. Are you trying to play dead?"
In the distance, Kim Jung-cheon, who had collapsed in the gully, finally moved his body, and then slowly propped himself up. His face was pale, and the spiritual energy around him was weak. When he looked at Mu Chen, there was a touch of fear in his eyes.
Relying on his strong physical body, he was not killed by Mu Chen on the spot.
However, there were still extremely serious injuries in his body. Although he understood that Mu Chen's current condition was not very good, compared to him, Mu Chen was still much better.
"Heh, I didn't expect that this time, I, Kim Jung-cheon, would actually fail miserably," Kim Jung-cheon said in a somewhat gloomy voice as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Mu Chen smiled faintly. However, there wasn't the slightest bit of warmth in his eyes. Instead, there was killing intent flowing within them.
Previously, Kim Jung-cheon did not show him any mercy and was filled with killing intent. Therefore, if possible, he naturally did not intend to let him leave alive.
On the other side, Golden Break, Huo Yang, and the others all retreated to Kim Jung-cheon's side. At this moment, all of them had panicked looks on their faces, and they no longer had the arrogance from before.
Following the defeat of Kim Jung-cheon.
The situation here had clearly been completely reversed.
Jiu You, Han Shan.
Ink Blade and the others also swept to Mu Chen's side. Jiu You and the others were fine, but the eyes of the experts of the Demonic Rhino Clan, such as Han Shan, were full of awe when they looked at Mu Chen. Even someone as strong as Han Shan was somewhat impressed.
"This time, it's really all thanks to Brother Mu," Han Shan sighed. If it weren't for Mu Chen's efforts to turn the tide, they would have run away like dogs.
Most likely, they had already fled like stray dogs. As for the Treasure Beast, it was even more impossible for them to touch it.
"What about them?"
Jiu You looked at Mu Chen, then glanced at Kim Jung-cheon and the others opposite. A murderous intent flashed across her beautiful eyes. If possible, she didn't mind getting rid of all of these guys to avoid future troubles.
She seemed to have noticed the murderous intent in Jiu You's eyes.
The expressions of Golden Break and the others couldn't help but change. The spiritual power around them surged, and they were on high alert.
"Mu Chen, don't think that just because you defeated me, we can be trampled on by you!" Kim Jung-cheon said in a low voice.
There seemed to be anger surging in his eyes.
"Otherwise?" Mu Chen asked with a smile.
Kim Jung-cheon lowered his eyelids and said coldly, "If you really want to fight to the death, you may live.
But believe me, I'm afraid that some of you will have to die with me! "
Hostility emerged in his words. Although he had been defeated by Mu Chen, Kim Jung-cheon was still a character. His ruthlessness made people feel some fear.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. He didn't doubt Kim Jung-cheon's words at all. If he really wanted to kill all of them, he would have to pay a price.
On the other side, the expressions of Han Shan and the others changed slightly. They all understood that Kim Jung-cheon was indeed qualified to say this. He might not be able to do anything to Mu Chen, but if he really wanted to, it wouldn't be difficult for him to exchange their lives.
The atmosphere was a little stagnant. After a long while, Mu Chen suddenly smiled and said, "You're right. However, I find it hard to believe that a person who was suppressed by his aura in the end would have the courage to give up everything and fight to the death."
In the last exchange, Kim Jung-cheon's aura had been completely suppressed by Mu Chen. This was because Mu Chen was more ruthless than him, even daring to give up his life. However, Kim Jung-cheon didn't dare to do the same. Hence, his aura had been suppressed, allowing Mu Chen to seize the opportunity and completely defeat him.
Hence, Kim Jung-cheon cherished his life. He didn't have the courage to fight to the death. Because of this, Mu Chen doubted his threat.
Kim Jung-cheon's face alternated between green and white. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "If there's no other way, then we can only fight to the death!"
His words had unknowingly retreated a little. Furthermore, he was hinting to Mu Chen that he could endure, but he shouldn't force him into a dead end.
Mu Chen looked at Han Shan, Jiu You, and the others to ask for their opinion. However, the latter and the others only nodded, indicating that they would do as he said.
Seeing this, Mu Chen smiled gently and said, "It's not impossible to end this matter, but there are conditions."
"First, the treasure of the Treasure Beast will have nothing to do with you."
Kim Jung-cheon and the others' faces twitched. They had entered the Land of the Divine Beasts mainly for the Treasure Beast, but now, Mu Chen actually wanted them to withdraw directly. That kind of loss was indescribable.
However, when they saw Mu Chen's cold smile, they understood that if they really didn't agree, then this seemingly gentle young man in front of them, who was ruthless and crazy when he fought, would probably not be able to hold back and kill them.
Hence, after weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Kim Jung-cheon could only nod with an ashen face.
On the other side, Huo Yang also felt bitter in his heart. He would choose the Golden Lion Clan.
Originally, because they were fully prepared, he thought that they had a better chance of winning. However, who would have thought that Han Shan would invite a group of people halfway through, and among them, there was such an abnormal person who directly defeated Kim Jung-cheon, who was at the peak of Grade Seven Sovereign, with the strength of a Grade Six Sovereign, causing his painstaking efforts to go down the drain. Now …
Even the qualification to compete for the Treasure Beast was about to be lost.
However, at this time, even Kim Jung-cheon did not dare to provoke Mu Chen, so naturally, he did not dare to express his dissatisfaction. He could only nod with a gloomy face.
"Second, your trip has caused us great losses, so you need to compensate, and the price of the compensation will be based on your heads, one million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid per head," Mu Chen said with a smile.
Although Mu Chen did not want to fight to the death with Kim Jung-cheon and the others, it was obviously impossible for these guys to easily end this matter.
Therefore, if these guys wanted to leave, they would at least have to shed a layer of skin here!
Upon hearing this, Kim Jung-cheon and the others suddenly changed color.
One head was one million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, and there were only about eight of them left. Wouldn't that mean that they would have to compensate eight million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid?
This was definitely not a small amount!
"Mu Chen, don't go overboard!" Kim Jung-cheon said sternly with a cold look in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Mu Chen immediately withdrew the smile on his face, and the coldness in his black eyes penetrated like a blade. The space behind him was distorted.
His Sovereign Sea was faintly discernible, and a tyrannical spiritual energy fluctuation was emitted.
"If you think that your life is not worth eight million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, then use your life to fight for it."
Mu Chen's voice was cold, and as his voice spread out, the majestic spiritual energy fluctuation became even more violent.
Looking at Mu Chen's cold eyes, Kim Jung-cheon couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and his face immediately became distorted.
Clenching his fists, the spiritual energy in his body also surged.
Facing this, Mu Chen's expression didn't change at all, but the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more intense.
Facing Kim Jung-cheon's ferocious gaze, he didn't retreat at all.
It was as if he didn't care if he would really force the latter into a corner.
Their gazes intertwined, and even the space seemed to be distorted.
However, this confrontation didn't last long. Under Mu Chen's knife-like gaze, Kim Jung-cheon's ferocious gaze weakened bit by bit. In the end, he could only take a deep breath, his face alternating between green and white, and said with gritted teeth, "Fine, we will compensate!"
Hearing this, Mu Chen's knife-like gaze suddenly disappeared, and a gentle smile appeared on his handsome face. "Brother Jin is still the one who understands the big picture. You will have extraordinary achievements in the future, so how can you easily throw away your life for eight million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid?"
Facing such flattery, Kim Jung-cheon's anger rose, but he didn't dare to fight with his life. He could only snort coldly, then looked directly at Huo Yang from the Sirius Clan and said, "If you want to keep your life, take out five million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid."
Hearing this, Huo Yang's expression suddenly changed. There were only three people from the Sirius Clan who were still alive, and according to the headcount, they only had to hand over three million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. However, Kim Jung-cheon actually wanted them to hand over five million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Obviously, he wanted them to be the suckers.
"Why?
Are you unwilling? "
Kim Jung-cheon was already infuriated by Mu Chen, and when he saw Huo Yang's expression, his eyes instantly turned cold, and his voice was filled with dense killing intent.
Seeing Kim Jung-cheon's twisted expression, Huo Yang's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed. However, he could only grit his teeth unwillingly, turn around, and empty out all his belongings with his remaining companions, and finally hand it over to Kim Jung-cheon.
However, Huo Yang's eyes were filled with resentment when he handed the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid over to Huo Yang. It could be assumed that he was extremely unhappy in his heart.
Kim Jung-cheon couldn't be bothered with Huo Yang's thoughts. After receiving the five million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, he emptied out all his belongings, and only then did he barely manage to gather eight million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
Kim Jung-cheon's hand trembled as he held the jade bottle that contained eight million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Even with his temperament, he couldn't help but feel pain. Finally, he threw the jade bottle to Mu Chen.
"For you!"
