Clara and the Snow Alliance members looked at Lin Chen with faces full of shock.

This guy could also control corpse puppets, and he managed to seize control from Sim. Clearly, Lin Chen's spiritual power was evidently stronger than Sim's.

"How is this possible? That guy is actually a Soul Master as well."

Everyone stared at Lin Chen, dumbstruck. Obviously, this young man's extraordinary performance had greatly shaken them.

"Damn it, we've been working hard, all for this kid's benefit," Cook remarked angrily.

Sim's face was grim as he stared intently at Lin Chen, a strong killing intent simmering in his eyes.

"Kid, you capitalized on my momentary carelessness. Let's see how strong your spiritual power really is."

As he spoke, Sim let out a cold shout, and a massive spear, transformed from spiritual power, suddenly thrust towards Lin Chen.

That giant spear was a manifestation of spiritual power. Although many were far from the spear, they still felt their hearts trembling.

Everyone sensed the power of the spear, secretly clicking their tongues. If any of them were targeted by this spiritual spear, their minds would potentially shatter, leaving them as vegetative bodies.

However, facing this fierce spiritual attack, Lin Chen remained unperturbed, curving his lips into a wicked smile.

As the spiritual spear was about to hit Lin Chen, he slowly reached out his hand.

Bang!

Suddenly, a massive hand appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Chen, gently clasping the spear.

Crack!

The spiritual spear was instantly crushed by Lin Chen.

Boom!

As the spiritual spear dissipated into nothing in mid-air, Sim's face turned pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Chen sneered coldly, "Playing spiritual attacks with me, you'll end up dead."

Sim wiped the blood from his mouth, "This guy wants to take the Spirit Fruit all for himself. Surround him and don't let him leave."

Sim's move was very insidious; it instantly turned Lin Chen into a target for everyone.

The strong ones glowered at Lin Chen coldly, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Who said I want it all to myself? I'm giving you the Spirit Fruit."

As he spoke, he tossed one of the Spirit Fruits in his hand out, and flew backward.

Upon seeing the Spirit Fruit thrown into the air by Lin Chen, everyone's spirit was stirred, and they immediately rushed towards the fruit.

Damn it!

Seeing Lin Chen's move, Sim's face looked extremely ugly.

He had not expected Lin Chen to be so cunning, using a Spirit Fruit as bait to draw everyone's attention.

Tie Kui was the first to grab the Spirit Fruit swiftly.

Almost simultaneously, Cook and the Blood Tribe rushed in, and the crowd quickly began to attack.

Tie Kui's expression changed, and the Spirit Fruit in his hand was knocked away.

"Let's go!" Lin Chen said to Clara.

But at that moment, an unexpected anomaly happened. A white python suddenly shot out from the cliff and directly swallowed the Spirit Fruit.

"Damn it!" Seeing this scene, Lin Chen's face turned unpleasant.

Everyone was shocked as they saw the Spirit Fruit in mid-air being swallowed by the white python.

Almost simultaneously, everyone's gaze fell back on Lin Chen.

"Stop him!" Cook shouted in anger.

At this point, the surrounding Martial Artists made their move, blocking Lin Chen and the others.

Meanwhile, Cook stepped forward, his face sinister.

"Kid, hand over the Spirit Fruit, or this place will become your tomb," Cook said coldly.

The atmosphere in the valley became extremely tense, with greedy eyes fixating on Lin Chen.

The Spirit Fruit in Lin Chen's hand had everyone's hearts racing, eyes glinting with deep desire.

There were three Spirit Fruits in total, with one swallowed by the python. Lin Chen still had two, which left everyone envious.

All the Martial Artists kept their eyes closely on Lin Chen, their gaze flickering.

Although the Spirit Fruit was a good thing, Lin Chen's displayed strength was too formidable, so they were inwardly cautious, not daring to act rashly.

Lin Chen smiled calmly, "Cook, I've got three and I've already shared one with you. It's your own fault for not getting it. As for these two, I need them, so I won't give them up."

"Heh, kid, do you think you can escape our siege? If you don't hand over the Spirit Fruit, we'll kill you and take them," Cook's eyes gleamed with a chilling killing intent.

Lin Chen's lips curved slightly, "Just you think you can take this Spirit Fruit? Let's see if you have the skill."

As he spoke, Lin Chen directly stowed the Spirit Fruit away, clearly not intending to hand it over.

"Kid, you're asking for death; I won't be blamed," Cook snorted coldly, eyes full of intense killing intent.

Meanwhile, the strong Nordic Pirates also formed a semicircle, enclosing Lin Chen and the Snow Alliance members, poised to attack.

The surrounding crowd, watching this scene, did not make a move.

They weren't foolish and knew that if both sides began fighting, it would surely end in mutual harm. Acting then would be doubly beneficial.

Moreover, both sides were fairly powerful, and dealing with either's revenge would not be easy to bear.

"Heh, Tie Kui, brothers of the Blood Tribe, and friends of the Magic Alliance, you've come a long way for these Spirit Fruits. Surely you wouldn't want to leave empty-handed, right? If we join forces to kill this kid, we can divide the Spirit Fruits among us," Cook sneered, his eyes shifting to the strong individuals behind him.

The few considered Cook's words, their eyes flickering with temptation.

Seeing this, Clara's face immediately darkened.

Just dealing with the Nordic Pirates was already quite troublesome. If the strong from other factions joined in, they would have no chance at all.

In this difficult situation, everyone in the Snow Alliance looked grim, but Lin Chen remained indifferent.

With his current strength, even if several powerful figures joined forces, escaping unharmed wasn't difficult.

At the moment, Tie Kui and others showed hesitance, clearly greatly tempted by the Spirit Fruit.

However, Lin Chen's strength was too bizarre. His recent performance continuously exceeded their expectations.

Moreover, for some reason, Lin Chen always emitted an aura that made them uneasy.

Although the Spirit Fruit was a good thing, if they lost their lives, it would mean nothing.

Besides, Sim using members of various factions as sacrificial puppets made everyone deeply resentful.

Thus, several individuals quickly dismissed their greedy notions and cupped their fists, saying, "Cook, since Lin Chen has obtained the Spirit Fruits, we admit our inferiority and don't want them. This trip we take as a training experience."

Listening to those strong figures, Cook's face darkened tremendously.

He never thought Lin Chen had already made these strong individuals apprehensive to this extent.

Hearing Tie Kui and the others, Clara let out a sigh of relief.

Her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Lin Chen. This guy was truly formidable, able to intimidate these powerful beings into backing down.

Cook frowned after hearing them. He snorted coldly, "Useless fools. You're afraid of him; our Nordic Pirate group is not. Sim, take action!"
