Taking the golden page from Sui Feng’s hands, Chen Changsheng shook it and said.
“Did you see the fate? This thing is not something you can keep.”
“There are more people after it than you can imagine.”
“Speaking of which, you have done very well. You know you can’t protect this thing by yourself.”
“So you ran to this special place to hide, but unfortunately, you ran into me.”
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s words, Zhang Gu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
“Losing to you, Undertaker, is nothing to be ashamed of. I mainly want to know how you plan to deal with me.”
“That’s a good question; I actually have two options for you.”
“First, take some money and disappear from my sight from now on.”
“Second, also take some money, but you have to work for me.”
Hearing this, Zhang Gu sneered and said, “You pushed me to this point, and still dare to make me work for you?”
“Why not? There’s no deep hatred between us.”
“Though this thing has been snatched away by me, the techniques are already memorized in your mind.”
“To put it bluntly, you only lost some mysterious and yellow essence.”
“As for the Mine Vein Small Realm, it goes without saying that this thing was never yours.”
“So what do you plan to choose?”
Glancing at Chen Changsheng in front of him and then at the representatives of the Forbidden Ground around them, Zhang Gu quickly began to contemplate.
He now had lost his hidden card, and once he left the Abyss World, he was likely to be hunted down by all major Forbidden Grounds.
After all, those techniques were still in his mind.
Chen Changsheng dared to flaunt the Eight-Nine Profound Art because he had Emperor Huangtian backing him, because he had extraordinary means.
But he had no extraordinary means and no powerful backing.
If those top powers wanted to k*ll him, it would be easier than killing an ant.
Thinking this, Zhang Gu spoke, “It seems I can only choose the second option.”
“Smart. I like people who know how to assess the situation.”
“Since you’re working for me, I’ll definitely make you respect me.”
“I allow you to make a move against me; we’ll have a match, no matter the outcome.”
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Zhang Gu’s face.
Because he had never considered that Chen Changsheng would want to fight him under such circumstances.
“You’re not joking, are you?”
“If I remember correctly, you, Undertaker, are not known for your martial prowess.”
“I, Zhang Gu, am indeed cowardly, but that doesn’t mean my strength is a lie.”
“If it’s a one-on-one, you could never be my opponent.”
“Hahaha!”
Seeing Zhang Gu’s puzzled expression, Chen Changsheng laughed.
“You’re right. I am currently an Immortal King Rank Six, and facing someone like you, an Immortal King Rank Eight, I indeed have no chance of winning.”
“But the reason I want you to work for me is that I need to assess you.”
“You wouldn’t dare to refuse even that, would you?”
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s words, Zhang Gu felt a stir of doubt within him.
Because he feared that Chen Changsheng would trick him into a deserted place and k*ll him.
“You really don’t want to k*ll me?”
“Why would I k*ll you?”
“If I wanted to k*ll you, would I go through so much effort?”
“You don’t think I care about this rundown Tianyuan City, do you?”
“To put it frankly, I could build ten or eight Tianyuan Cities without breaking a sweat.”
“If I say I won’t k*ll you, then I truly won’t k*ll you. It’s not because I fear you might destroy Tianyuan City.”
Hearing this, Zhang Gu gritted his teeth and said, “No problem. Since you want to spar, I’ll accompany you.”
“Just a word in advance: if you get hurt, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
“Absolutely not. The more seriously you hurt me, the higher my reward for you will be.”
……
Deep within the Void.
Chen Changsheng and Little Immortal, along with Zhang Gu, had been teleporting for three whole days, finally arriving at a desolate place devoid of any vitality.
Looking at such a barren area, Zhang Gu’s heart stirred.
Because this situation looked very much like a place for killing and robbery.
“Stop looking. Prepare yourself; more spectators will arrive soon.”
Just as Zhang Gu was guessing Chen Changsheng’s intentions for doing this, a voice came over.
Only to see Chen Changsheng adjusting the terrain to set up a grand formation.
“What are you doing?”
“Shielding away the residual waves of battle; I don’t want others to know about the fight here.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than a chilling aura descended, making Zhang Gu’s hair stand on end.
With this aura descending, Sui Feng and Little Immortal in the distance also became vigilant.
“Can we start now?”
A long voice reached them.
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng replied, “I’m indeed ready, but the shielding techniques around have not been fully set up yet.”
“Others might come here quietly to spy.”
“Whoosh!”
As soon as Chen Changsheng finished speaking, a colossal protective shield enveloped an area of ten thousand miles, instantly blocking all surveillance.
Immediately afterward, mysterious entities, along with Sui Feng and Little Immortal, took their positions in eight directions of this space.
Eight peaks rose from the ground, eight thrones appeared out of thin air, and eight figures slowly settled down.
The overwhelming aura, which looked down upon the ages, was vividly displayed at this moment.
“Gulp!”
Swallowing hard, Zhang Gu said somewhat apprehensively.
“What exactly have you done?”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t; knowing too much isn’t beneficial for you.”
“What you must do now is unleash all your strength.”
“If they discover you’re playing tricks, I can’t guarantee your life.”
……
On the high mountain.
Sui Feng’s left hand lightly propped up her chin while her right hand gently stroked Bai Ze’s smooth fur.
“His strength is somewhat lacking. Is it appropriate for him to experiment with the God-Slaying Weapon?”
A voice came from the direction of the Forbidden Ground of the Dead Sea.
Hearing this, Sui Feng said lightly, “The purpose of developing the God-Slaying Weapon is precisely to enable the weak to defeat the strong and intimidate certain existences.”
“If the threshold for using the God-Slaying Weapon is too high, then there’s no need to develop it.”
Hearing this, a voice came from the direction of the Upper Firmament Forbidden Ground.
“Phoenix Emperor, you were the first to come into contact with the God-Slaying Weapons.”
“But concerning the effects of the God-Slaying Weapon, you have always been vague.”
“You wouldn’t be conspiring in some sort of scam, would you?”
“I’d also hope this is a scam, but unfortunately, it is not.”
“You’ll soon witness the might of the God-Slaying Weapon. Rather than randomly guessing at this moment, it’s better to observe closely.”
Faced with Sui Feng’s words, all the leaders of the Forbidden Grounds fell silent.
What she said was indeed right; guessing whether the God-Slaying Weapon could realize its purpose was now meaningless.
If the demonstration did not achieve the expected effect, the respective Forbidden Grounds would find Chen Changsheng for accountability.
