CHAPTER 206: CHAPTER 206: EXTORTION, BLOOD OF TIANHENG (THREE UPDATES)

"Then do you dare to bet?"

Qin Chuan said meaningfully.

Many of the Demonic Elders looked at each other, gritting their teeth, yet none dared to easily speak.

This Qin Zi is quite wicked!

Just having broken through, he easily crushed the Golden Giant Ape Xiu Nian. Seeing this formidable display, even if they had confidence in Zhu Huang, they couldn’t lightly assume that Zhu Huang could suppress Qin Zi.

After a long while, a Demon Elder with dragon whiskers calmly said, "It’s not about daring or not; it’s just unnecessary."

"We are the Elders of the Shattered Star Academy, not gamblers. We don’t covet anything from you, so why should we bet with you?"

Upon hearing this, the other Elders spirited up, as if taking a sip of cool water amidst the heat.

Refreshed and invigorated!

Because of this Elder’s words, the contest of will transformed into a matter of principle—not that we are afraid to bet, but we don’t fancy betting, and it’s unnecessary. We are not greedy, and without desires, we are just!

The other Elders chimed in agreement.

Ultimately, Qin Chuan’s plan to leverage the bet for profit fell through. He sighed inwardly, realizing not everyone is so easily fooled.

Meanwhile, action had already begun on the other side.

"Boom!"

Two beams of light shot into the sky, clashing with a violent impact, the light dazzling as if the sun had exploded.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

In the blinding light, two silhouettes merged into one, fists and feet flying, engaging in a fierce melee.

The scene was so radiant.

The two fought from sky to ground, from nearby to far away, two light shadows flickering, accompanied by the burst of the Power of Law.

"Ruling the Dragon in the Sky!"

"Vermilion Bird’s World Destruction!"

With two loud shouts, two grandiose illusory shadows appeared, colliding in the air with a deafening sound.

Zhu Huang was truly strong.

Being able to fight on par with Qin Zi, though partly due to Qin Zi’s recent breakthrough, was still astonishing.

"Kill!!"

Qin Zi, seeing the stalemate between the dragon shadow and the vermilion bird shadow, decided to use brute force to resolve the battle.

He simultaneously activated the Body Refining Scripture and the Sun Devouring Emperor Scripture, his body becoming robust and blazing, charging forward like a golden giant.

Zhu Huang had the same intention.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Both pierced through the two shadows from left and right, causing the shadows to explode wherever they passed and converging at the center.

"Boom—"

The intense tremor made many people feel their organs churning, even shattering their eardrums, bleeding from seven orifices!

After a long time, the light dissipated.

In the center of the plaza appeared a large pit, half a meter deep, ten meters in diameter, where two figures stood facing each other.

"A tie?"

"It ended in a tie?"

The disciples of the Shattered Star Academy were shocked, yet for some reason, they felt no regret and actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, they didn’t lose.

Luckily, they didn’t lose...

"You’re strong."

Zhu Huang looked at Qin Zi and said in a deep voice:

"In the Purple Cloud Human Domain and the Broken Star Demon Realm, there are very few who can tie with me at the same realm."

With that, he turned and walked toward the outside—not flying, but walking on the ground.

His steps were hurried.

And they became faster and faster.

Outside the plaza, the disciples of the Shattered Star Academy gathered around with admiration, chatting away.

"Senior Brother Zhu Huang, I feel like you still had strength left, why not suppress him?"

"Senior Brother Zhu Huang, neither of you was injured. You could have fought 800 more rounds. Why did you stop?"

"Senior Brother Zhu Huang, your aura is stable, while he was clearly out of breath; if you kept fighting, you would have won, why didn’t you..."

The last disciple blocked Zhu Huang’s way, so excited that when Zhu Huang wanted to detour, he was still blocked, just like a reporter shoving a microphone into a celebrity’s face.

But before he could finish his sentence, there was a "plop" sound, and a gush of hot blood sprayed onto him, with Zhu Huang collapsing straight at his feet, blood spreading from under his face, staining the ground.

"Ah, this..."

The demons watched this scene blankly, all taken aback.

"Ding! Your son slapped Zhu Huang, who possesses the Vermilion Bird lineage, earning an automatic recharge of 30 daddy value points, current balance is 118.6."

Qin Chuan received the system notification.

He took a deep breath, as the daddy value broke a hundred points for the first time, giving him unprecedented confidence, his blood boiling.

At this time, Qin Zi was still provoking.

He scanned the surroundings, smiling as he said:

"Is there anyone stronger? If not, I might have to continue blocking the door. From the current situation, at this realm, I will only continue getting stronger, and I can block for several more years at least."

Scoundrel!!

The disciples of the Shattered Star Academy wanted to curse—in the heavens, take this damned one away!

Even those Elder figures twitched at the corners of their mouths.

Yet Qin Chuan remained calm.

"Sigh, state your conditions then..."

Suddenly, a helpless sigh echoed in Qin Chuan’s ears.

Qin Chuan turned to look.

On the open space ahead, a burly figure appeared, a middle-aged man with a purple "king" mark on his forehead, seemingly of the Tiger Race, exuding a domineering and unfathomable aura.

"Palace Master."

Many of the Demon Elders bowed respectfully. Their Palace Master was a quasi-Emperor level Netherworld Sacred Tiger, truly terrifying.

Qin Chuan smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Greetings, Master of Shattered Star Palace. It’s a bit flattering that the Palace Master would come in person. But... it won’t help to negotiate with me, that unruly son never listens to me."

An entire string of nonsense.

Price gouging!

Yet the Master of Shattered Star Palace didn’t believe his nonsense, merely looked at him calmly and said:

"Your son has already broken through once, and breaking through again in a short time wouldn’t be a good thing; you should understand that."

"Moreover, your son has already proven his talent; he indeed has the ability to block my Shattered Star Academy for several years. However, if this continues, it doesn’t hold much actual significance for him."

"Instead, it would be better for you to state your conditions, and we’ll try to meet them, benefiting everyone."

Qin Chuan gathered his smile, looking at the Master of Shattered Star Palace.

The two locked eyes.

Qin Chuan confirmed that the other was an intelligent person, and speaking in circles with an intelligent person would only tire oneself out.

Because the other would stand by, watching you circle, and wait until you stopped to negotiate with you.

"Alright, that unruly son occasionally also listens to my advice."

Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows and said.

"Actually, I don’t have any big demands. If possible, you could give me an Emperor’s Artifact."

"What?!"

"Are you crazy!"

"Talking nonsense!"

The surrounding Elders glared at Qin Chuan with anger. For someone so weak to demand an Emperor’s Artifact, it was sheer insatiability!

While the Master of Shattered Star Palace’s expression slightly twitched a few times, seeming to restrain the urge to strike.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"You should know that it’s impossible, for even I don’t have an Emperor’s Artifact."

Qin Chuan smiled slightly.

"Since you can’t do it, I’ll change to something simpler... give me the blood of a peak emperor of the Celestial Eternal Race, and it has to be alive."

"Hmm??"

The Master of Shattered Star Palace frowned, scrutinizing Qin Chuan, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you need it for?"

"Previously, I got cursed by the Celestial Eternal Race in a ruin and need the blood of a peak emperor of their race to lift it."

Qin Chuan said nonchalantly.

"Alright, in our demonic Sacred Hall, we have some detained strong ones and descendants of the Celestial Eternal Race, I can arrange to get that blood."

The Shattered Star Palace Master said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Qin Chuan smiled with satisfaction.

He knew it wouldn’t be a problem!

The three main tribes of the Nine Skies Continent were unified in leadership within, and each held some of the Celestial Eternal Race’s strong ones.

As an official of the three tribes, as long as you knew someone, getting the blood of the Celestial Eternal Race was easy.

Not to mention knowing someone important, even knowing a simple guard, chopping at prisoners occasionally to fill some buckets with blood was a light task—did the inmates have rights?

Poor Ice Dragon Martial Emperor.

He would never have thought that the seal he left on the Emperor’s Artifact, the Ice Dragon Spear, could be defeated by mere connections.
