These individuals' faces had shown no change initially, as they had resolved to commit suicide if escape proved impossible.
However, Chu Chen had now severed that last resort.
"Kid, you know so much about us. What's going on? Can you at least let us die in understanding?"
One of the cultivators couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, we've assassinated formidable opponents across various kingdoms, yet today we've fallen into your hands. Most importantly, we had thoroughly investigated your background beforehand."
"It was impossible for you to defeat us, so why did this happen? We are not convinced."
Although the three cultivators were restrained by Chu Chen, they clearly were not prepared to accept such an outcome.
Chu Chen displayed a hint of mockery on his face.
"You are not convinced? What are you? Just lackeys of the Xiongnu Chanyu. It is your honor to be able to fight me."
Upon hearing this, the Xiongnu experts became furious. They opened their mouths wide, attempting to bite Chu Chen, but it was utterly useless.
Chu Chen had already sealed all their acupoints, how could he allow them to escape at will?
"I suggest you stop wasting your efforts. You will never break free from this cage."
Chu Chen thought of the great master, and a chill ran down his spine.
He had been so engrossed in talking with these people that if that great master had launched a surprise attack, wouldn't he be finished?
Chu Chen glanced at these men and said, "Don't you have another master? Have him come out quickly. I want to fight him, a fair and square fight."
The men exchanged glances, then burst into laughter.
"Chu Chen, who do you think you are? You want to fight our boss, will he agree to it?"
"Just wait, our boss will be here soon. By then, even if you beg him on your knees, he won't spare your life."
"Although you can defeat us, you are definitely no match for our boss."
Listening to their words, Chu Chen sneered, but his heart was already filled with anxiety.
Earlier, in his fight with these men, he had mobilized over half of his spiritual energy to end it quickly.
While the outcome was favorable, it had significantly reduced the effective duration of his Sheng Long Pill.
If the great master did not appear within fifteen minutes, the medicinal properties of the Sheng Long Pill would completely dissipate.
Even with his current combat strength, Chu Chen was not confident he could defeat that great master.
The Life Simulator had already shown that even at his peak with the Sheng Long Pill, he would not be able to defeat that great master.
The great master had defeated him completely in just thirty moves.
One could imagine how overwhelming the situation would be if he were to fight the great master after the Sheng Long Pill's effects wore off.
Chu Chen could no longer afford to play mind games with the great master. He immediately shouted towards the surroundings.
"Xiongnu scum, I have captured all your subordinates. Aren't you coming to reclaim them?"
"Xiongnu scum, your subordinates are truly weak. They were all defeated by me in no more than three moves."
"If you were to come yourself, it would take at most ten moves, and I would surely capture you."
Chu Chen's voice spread in all directions, but there was no response.
The great master seemed to not exist at all.
At this moment, Chu Chen became even more anxious.
The reason he wanted to provoke the great master into appearing was to have a quick decisive battle with him again.
Although his current combat strength was still inferior to the opponent's, he could condense his combat potential.
By releasing it in a very short period, he might achieve a better outcome.
Chu Chen then thought of the Old War God, wondering where the old fellow had gone, as he hadn't appeared for so long.
Previously, when he went to the imperial palace, the old fellow had followed him. Yet now, as he was fighting, this fellow had not shown up.
Did this fellow truly believe he was safe, or did he have something urgent to attend to?
Regardless, Chu Chen found it hard to believe.
He understood the Old War God well. This old fellow was always leisurely around the imperial city every day. What urgent matters could he have?
Suddenly, a figure appeared abruptly near Chu Chen. Chu Chen immediately felt a great threat.
He immediately circulated the spiritual energy within his body, setting up a defense in front of him.
Only then did he look in that direction. As expected, it was the great master who had appeared in his Life Simulator.
Seeing this master appear, the three cultivators felt as if they had seen their relatives.
"Boss, you're finally here! If you hadn't come any sooner, we would have been completely dealt with by this kid."
"You three useless fools, to be toyed with by this kid. I really thought he had some great skill."
Saying this, he glanced at Chu Chen, looking him up and down, and finally shook his head.
"Indeed, you can defeat them. Your loss is not unjust. However, this kid's condition seems a bit off."
Chu Chen's heart tightened. He hadn't expected this old fellow to be able to discern his strength and his abnormal combat power.
Had this old scoundrel's cultivation reached perfection? He was completely detached from material things, utterly crushing him.
Even with the Sheng Long Pill he had taken, and its effects still present, Chu Chen was still not necessarily a match for him.
The great master smiled and nodded, "Chu Chen, as the Prime Minister of Yun Yue Kingdom, to possess such cultivation, I am truly impressed. However, our positions are different, and I can only act against you."
"I believe you will understand, won't you?"
Chu Chen was almost cursing inwardly, but outwardly, he appeared unconcerned.
"Come if you dare. Who wins and who loses is not yet decided."
Upon hearing this, the master chuckled, "You took a pill to temporarily boost your strength. Do you think I don't know?"
At these words, the three cultivators immediately understood.
"Good kid, no wonder your combat power is so much stronger than we estimated. You actually used a pill. You're not playing fair."
One of the cultivators couldn't help but curse.
Before Chu Chen could speak, the great master immediately stepped forward and berated them, "How dare you say that? Even if he used a pill, he still defeated you. The three of you fought him alone, and you were all captured. Are you that foolish?"
The experts could only shut their mouths upon hearing this.
The great master then said to Chu Chen, "Since you summoned me earlier, let's have a spar. I believe you are also eager, aren't you?"
Before the other party could finish, Chu Chen suddenly launched a fierce attack!
Escape was impossible.
