"..."
However, after a long while, there was still no movement from the surroundings.
Chen Shu frowned and said lightly, "If you don't want it, then I can only destroy it."
With that, the elemental power within Erha surged, and scorching flames erupted from its mouth.
"Wait—"
Just then, a voice suddenly appeared.
Immediately after, space twisted several tens of meters away, and a figure in a black robe calmly stepped out.
"Eh? Kong?"
Chen Shu narrowed his eyes and immediately recognized the small black beast on the other's shoulder.
Kong frowned and said, "How did you detect me?"
"Do you really think I'm blind?"
Chen Shu pouted and said, "I've killed so many Archbishops, and I haven't seen a single corpse. Either someone is playing tricks, or they've come back from the dead!"
"..."
Kong's expression stiffened. He actually noticed this detail...
"Just name your price!"
He regained his composure. Before he could ascend to the Legendary realm, he didn't want any entanglement with the other party.
"Straightforward!"
Chen Shu smiled slightly and said, "We're old acquaintances, after all. I'll give you a friendly price!"
"Hold on a moment!"
Kong's heart sank, and he said earnestly, "I don't want a friendly price; give me the normal price!"
Based on his understanding of this guy, the friendly price was the most outrageous...
"No, you know quite a lot!"
Chen Shu was also taken aback and said with a smile, "Then the normal price, resources worth ten trillion Chinese Yuan!"
"???"
Kong's expression froze as he said, "Your unit is trillion?!"
"What else?"
Chen Shu crossed his arms and said lightly, "This is a Star-three King-level Archbishop. Isn't his special bloodline worth this price?"
"You noticed?"
Kong's expression changed, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Without any special methods, could you have advanced to the peak of King-level so quickly?"
Chen Shu's gaze was calm. He could sense that Kong was different now.
The other party clearly had some special method to transfer the bloodline of the Destiny Ancient Kingdom to himself.
However, seeing the other party's monstrous appearance and manic eyes, it seemed there were some minor issues...
But Kong himself was unaware, even believing that he had already seen the path to Legendary...
"Ten trillion is too much!"
Kong stared intently at the corpse of Archbishop 'Ming,' looking unwilling.
He felt that his bloodline was only one step away from perfection, and he had to secure the corpse of 'Ming' in front of him!
"You're a spatial beast tamer, wouldn't you have a lot of wealth?"
Chen Shu sneered, "Don't tell me you haven't gained anything all these years? That would be pretty useless!"
"..."
Kong fell silent for a moment, then said, "I only have four trillion in resources, which is all my savings. If you agree, let's trade!"
"Four trillion..."
Chen Shu's heart stirred as he sized up the other party, not quite believing his words.
However, since they were both spatial beast tamers, neither could do anything to the other, so they could only negotiate peacefully.
"Alright! Then four trillion!"
After a while, Chen Shu nodded and said, "Show me your sincerity first!"
Kong hesitated for a moment, then gave an order to the contracted spirit on his shoulder.
The small black beast showed a hint of reluctance in its eyes, but it still opened its mouth.
Instantly, countless resources flew out like a river and a waterfall, creating a spectacular scene.
Chen Shu's spatial rabbit then stepped forward and began to inventory them.
After a while, a mountain of resources appeared around the two, emanating abundant energy.
"The corpse for me!"
"You remove the spatial traces from the resources first!"
They spoke almost simultaneously, suspicion in each other's eyes.
Kong stated directly, "I don't trust you..."
"You have no choice!"
Chen Shu directly interrupted, "I can forgo these resources, but you must have this corpse!"
"..."
Kong's eyes were cold, but Chen Shu had grasped his lifeline.
After a while, he said coldly, "Fine, I'll compromise! If you don't give me the corpse, I'll destroy this pile of resources."
With that, he had his contracted spirit remove the traces on the resources.
"I, the Fierce Bandit of Nanjiang, also have professional ethics!"
Chen Shu shrugged and actually threw the corpse in his hand out.
Kong was overjoyed and caught it, his heart becoming incredibly excited.
He looked deeply at Chen Shu, a killing intent in the depths of his eyes, but he didn't linger. Instead, he vanished from his spot with a spatial shift.
He was in a hurry to devour the bloodline and had no time to bother with Chen Shu.
Chen Shu wasn't in a hurry either, and began to have his spatial rabbit collect all the resources from around them.
"Unexpectedly, there was an additional harvest..."
He shook his head, not expecting Archbishop 'Kong' to appear out of nowhere.
"You really gave him the corpse?"
Fang Si, standing beside him, said with concern, "If he truly breaks through to Legendary, I'm afraid..."
Although Kong appeared a bit abnormal now, his aura was indeed that of a peak King-level, even carrying a hint of quasi-Legendary.
"Impossible."
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "The old man said that to break through to Legendary, one's beast taming level, state of mind, and all other aspects must reach a perfect state. This lunatic could reach Legendary? That's ridiculous!"
"..."
Xie Fengyu also looked worried and said, "What if..."
He was a spatial beast tamer, and if he broke through to Legendary, perhaps no one could deal with him anymore?
"There is no 'what if'!"
Chen Shu shook his head, a look of certainty in his eyes.
He still remembered what the old man had said: the path to Legendary was now broken. No Legendary had appeared in a thousand years, and even Old Li had been stuck at quasi-Legendary for hundreds of years.
If Kong could easily break through to Legendary like this, it would be truly outrageous...
"Alright, it's time for us to return."
Chen Shu shook his head. He couldn't kill Kong now, so he could only return to the country.
"Good!"
The two felt a bit excited.
Traveling with this guy was a bit too overstimulating...
"But before that, we need to get the treasure!"
Chen Shu's eyes were filled with greed as he looked in the direction of the church, still coveting the resources in the vault.
Xie Fengyu looked at his expression and couldn't help but whisper, "Brother, you're already so rich, is it necessary..."
"You don't understand..."
Chen Shu shook his head. Although he had gained a lot from this trip abroad, the consumption was equally huge.
The value of just the berserk and teleportation potions was an astronomical figure. If he didn't make up for it quickly, he felt like he would truly have to cough up blood...
