A master!
Chen Zheng instantly made a judgment!
Just by his Aura, he could make himself unable to move. The strength of the person in front of him was definitely not just Kai Mai Realm!
“Tiangang Realm? Or…”
“Celestial Phenomenon Realm!”
Chen Zheng was anxious and desperately tried to think of a way to break the situation, but he despairingly found that there was no way!
He couldn't even move a finger now, so what could he do?
“Young friend, no need to panic. I am Dan Chenzi! I am a wandering hermit passing through this place. I noticed something was wrong with this Dried Sun Fruit, so I came to take a look!”
The man said with a chuckle, showing no ill will.
But he immobilized Chen Zheng as soon as he arrived, making him unable to even speak. Chen Zheng didn't believe he was a good person!
However, at this moment, Chen Zheng was at his mercy, so he could only try his best to remain calm.
Seeing Chen Zheng's calm demeanor, Dan Chenzi showed a hint of surprise and continued, “This Dried Sun Fruit was discovered by the young friend first. It is not right for me to take what others love, but this item is of great use to me. I wonder if the young friend would be willing to part with it?”
After waiting for a moment and seeing no response from Chen Zheng, he suddenly realized, “Oh, my memory!”
Dan Chenzi waved his hand, and Chen Zheng found that he could speak again.
Chen Zheng suppressed his inner anger and forced a smile, saying, “Daoist Priest, you are too kind. This was originally an ownerless item. Since the Daoist Priest needs it, please take it!”
If this Daoist Priest really wanted his opinion, he wouldn't have immobilized him!
Now, it was nothing more than a threat!
But this Daoist Priest's strength was overwhelming, and Chen Zheng could only accept it.
“That won't do!” Dan Chenzi frowned and said with a distressed look, “I have always been fair in my dealings. This is not my Dao! How about this, I'll make a trade with the young friend?”
Chen Zheng could only follow Dan Chenzi's words: “Please tell me, Daoist Priest!”
Dan Chenzi smiled, “My greatest pride is my alchemy skills! Oh! In your common terms, that would be an Alchemist!”
“I will use my alchemy skills to exchange for this Dried Sun Fruit! I don't think the young friend will suffer a loss!”
Before Chen Zheng could refuse, Dan Chenzi ascended step by step, flying towards Chen Zheng.
Chen Zheng's pupils constricted, and his heart grew more desperate.
Flying in the air!
This was something even Celestial Phenomenon Realm masters couldn't do!
What kind of monster was this Daoist Priest in front of him?
Dan Chenzi was still babbling, “Young friend, no need to panic. This is not the first time I've made such a trade. No one who has traded with me has ever said a bad word!”
With that, Dan Chenzi had already stood in front of Chen Zheng.
Chen Zheng quickly said, “Daoist Priest Dan Chenzi, please take this spiritual fruit. Consider it a gift from me, no need for a trade!”
Dan Chenzi made it sound good, but Chen Zheng was certain that this so-called trade was definitely not a good thing!
“Oh dear! That won't do, I never like to owe favors!” Dan Chenzi shook his head, raised his hand and pressed it on Chen Zheng's shoulder, a hint of mockery appearing in his gentle expression.
“And I never said you could refuse!”
The next moment.
A massive Mental Energy slammed into Chen Zheng's mind, and countless pieces of knowledge about alchemy exploded within his mind!
But this knowledge was simply too vast!
With Chen Zheng's current strength, he simply couldn't withstand such a transmission!
Chen Zheng only felt his vision darken.
In an instant, blood oozed from all five of his orifices.
Seeing that Chen Zheng's brain didn't instantly explode, Dan Chenzi showed surprise, and a twisted, eerie smile appeared on his face.
“Excellent! Excellent! He's actually a talented individual with a naturally powerful Divine Soul!”
“Wonderful! Even the mortal world can produce a true Dragon! I, Dan Chenzi, love Geniuses the most! Only Geniuses can make me feel… more pleasure when I abuse and kill them!”
Dan Chenzi smiled brightly, clapping his hands in applause, like a madman.
Bang!
Chen Zheng fell from the tree to the ground. Not only his five orifices, but even all the pores on his body began to seep blood, and his life force was gradually weakening.
“What a pity! The blessing I gave you, you couldn't receive!”
“You can't blame me for this!”
“I've always been fair to everyone!”
Dan Chenzi laughed maniacally.
He hadn't lied. All his thousands of years of accumulated Alchemist knowledge had been packaged and transmitted into Chen Zheng's mind. However, this knowledge, let alone a mortal Houtian Realm cultivator, even a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert might not be able to bear it!
And indeed, no one who had traded with him had ever said a “bad” word about him.
Because those people were all dead!
“Interesting! Truly interesting!”
He hadn't expected to come to this mortal world and not only find the Dried Sun Fruit he desperately needed, but also experience some fun!
“This trip was not in vain!”
Dan Chenzi shook his head, smiling extremely happily. With a wave of his hand, the spiritual fruit on the tip of the withered tree was collected into his sleeve.
Then, without even looking at Chen Zheng, who was on the verge of death, he only left one sentence:
“I am Daoist Priest Dan Chenzi. If you want revenge in your next life, remember to find me at the Divine Refinement Sect! Hahahaha…”
With that.
Dan Chenzi's figure soared into the sky, instantly disappearing among the clouds.
On the ground.
Chen Zheng was still struggling bitterly.
“I can't die! Mother can't be without me! Chen Manor can't be without me…”
Only one thought remained in Chen Zheng's mind.
But the massive Mental Energy was something he simply couldn't sustain with willpower alone!
Soon!
Chen Zheng completely lost consciousness!
In a daze.
Chen Zheng seemed to feel golden light flowing before his eyes!
Chants of Sanskrit came from his ears, and the Chaos Divine Sky Art began to circulate wildly!
Within his Divine Soul.
The chaos divine cauldron radiated golden light, beginning to absorb the massive Mental Energy that Dan Chenzi had injected into Chen Zheng's mind. Then, it transformed into various runes, like a Seal, carved into Chen Zheng's Divine Soul.
After an unknown period, Chen Zheng suddenly woke up, hearing chewing sounds.
“I'm not dead!”
Chen Zheng was overjoyed, but his excitement lasted only a moment before being suppressed by a sense of crisis.
A foul wind swept over, accompanied by the stench of decaying flesh.
Without time to think, Chen Zheng instinctively reacted.
He pushed off the ground, instantly flying up and landing on a broken log.
“Roar!”
A pitch-black Magic Leopard pounced on the spot where Chen Zheng had just been, and the ground instantly exploded into a small pit!
“A first-order eighth-level Demonic Beast!”
All around.
Only a pile of white bones remained of two first-order Peak Demonic Beasts, obviously devoured by the Magic Leopard in front of him!
Chen Zheng felt fortunate.
It was a good thing the Magic Leopard didn't target him from the start… Chen Zheng rubbed his swollen head. He felt as if something had been added to his mind, but he hadn't had time to check it yet… “Roar!”
The Magic Leopard once again pounced and bit at Chen Zheng.
But to Chen Zheng's surprise.
The Magic Leopard's fierce and sharp pounce, in his eyes, actually became slow motion!
Every detail of the Magic Leopard was captured by Chen Zheng's eyes.
Then Chen Zheng merely tilted his body slightly, avoiding the black leopard's attack by a hair's breadth. He casually grabbed and broke off a remaining branch from the broken log, then gently pushed it… Pfft!
The sharp short branch directly pierced the black leopard's eye, and hot beast blood splattered out.
“Ow!”
The pained black leopard fell straight backward.
And Chen Zheng, who had accomplished all of this, was somewhat bewildered.
“A first-order eighth-level Demonic Beast… when did it become so weak?”
