At the same time, due to Chen Shu's sudden action, Old Hei had no chance to assassinate the other party again.
This also led Yang Buren to believe that Chen Shu was on their side, and even Old Jin thought he had been betrayed.
"What did you see?"
Chen Shu smiled and said, "I told you before, I wanted to buy his rats, but he wouldn't sell. So I had to resort to force."
"..."
The two were stunned. Was that considered a reason?
In fact, it was because Chen Shu had been presented with an option...
"Are you crazy?"
Old Hei's expression was gloomy.
He thought the plan was going smoothly, but then a hitch like this occurred. Old Jin's scouting ability was quite important.
"What about you guys? Are you killing Yang Buren to avenge me?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and said, "This guy provoked me as soon as we met. I didn't even bother with it, but your temper is too violent, isn't it?"
"Avenge you?"
The two were momentarily confused, their minds somewhat tangled by Chen Shu's absurd thought process.
Chen Shu said calmly, "Alright, it's all happy now. Let's go."
"Go? You think you can still leave?"
Old Hei licked his lips and said,
"Your gains, plus your own resources, are barely enough to compensate for Old Jin's life."
He had investigated Chen Shu's identity, knowing he was a core figure in China, and such a person would undoubtedly possess treasures.
"You still want to kill me?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you really think your 'Brother Han' is just a nickname for nothing?"
"Why do you think we're making a move now?"
Old Hei sneered, his eyes filled with fierce light, and said, "In the Legendary's territory, you can't escape!"
With that, the Blood Phantom beside him moved its gaze, canceling the skill that concealed their aura.
Instantly, their life forces appeared, starkly out of place in this location.
Buzz buzz buzz—
A large amount of black mist surged around again, as if the defensive mechanism had activated automatically, and the entire altar gained a restraining power.
"Now, can you still run?"
Old Hei smiled confidently and said, "This place targets spatial teleportation. It's practically your best place to die!"
Clearly, the black mist in the surroundings had also been quietly drawn out by Old Hei.
"You've been here before?"
Chen Shu's eyes moved. Since the other party was so familiar with the methods left by the Beast Emperor, he must have been here before.
Old Hei said noncommittally, "Of course. After all, our Black Spirit Tribe has existed for hundreds of years. How could we not understand the 'Death Altar' at all?"
"I really can't bear to kill such a genius."
Thirteen on the side beckoned, and two green lights appeared from the black mist.
A giant wolf with emerald eyes strode out, coming to her side and acting affectionately.
Clearly, the roar just now was just a disguise by its contracted spirit.
"Since you can't bear to, how about we cooperate?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and said, "Let's join forces and kill this old guy. He's much richer than I am."
Thirteen was slightly stunned, then chuckled and said, "Good suggestion, but your sister here is most trustworthy!"
"Sister?"
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "What I said was to Old Hei. The 'old guy' refers to you! Don't you have any self-awareness?"
"Damn it..."
Thirteen's expression turned cold, and anger instantly flared within her. This brat was too good at provoking her...
"It seems you really think I'm easy to bully!"
The next second, four contracted spirits suddenly appeared around Thirteen, all surging with power and breaking through their previous disguise.
"King Tier Three-Star?!"
Chen Shu's pupils contracted, his eyes showing a flicker of shock.
Had the top powerhouses become so common now?
"Hmph! This was achieved with the efforts of the entire nation for me to break through!"
Thirteen's expression was stern, and she said, "To tell you the truth, my homeland wasn't conquered by fierce beasts. It was looted by me overnight of all national resources, and then I fled, which indirectly led to its destruction!"
"No, you're quite proud of yourself, aren't you?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "You inhuman old hag!"
"..."
Thirteen's expression faltered again, and the rage in her eyes could no longer be suppressed. She said resentfully,
"You won't die that easily. I will torment you properly!"
In an instant, ten King Tier three-star contracted spirits appeared, surrounding Chen Shu tightly.
The surrounding black mist further confined his spatial abilities.
For a moment, Chen Shu seemed to be trapped in a deadly situation...
But just as the two were about to make their move, a strange voice suddenly echoed from the black mist,
"What a good show..."
"!!"
Instantly, Old Hei and Thirteen's expressions changed drastically, especially the former, whose face turned pale, as if recalling something unpleasant.
"There's someone else?"
Chen Shu's expression shifted as he looked into the depths of the black mist.
Just then, the black mist around them surged, parting like subjects welcoming their king, clearing a path.
And at the end of the path, a burly figure strode forth.
Instantly, everyone present showed looks of disbelief.
A ten-meter-tall humanoid creature strode forward. It was clad in black armor, with scarlet eyes staring straight ahead. Although no aura emanated from it, there was an indescribable sense of pressure!
It was the Beast Emperor of the 'Death Altar', the Death Sky Knight!
"Little ant, you managed to escape by luck last time, and you dare to come here seeking death?"
The Sky Knight looked at Old Hei with mocking eyes.
"You... you saw through our whereabouts long ago?!"
Old Hei's pupils contracted, his eyes even showing a hint of despair.
"No, no, no..."
The Death Sky Knight shook his head and said in a tone of praise,
"In fact, even I didn't expect you to sneak in while ignoring my decoy."
Upon hearing the word 'decoy', Old Hei and the others were stunned and immediately understood.
"The you at the passage entrance... was fake?"
"Of course!"
The Death Sky Knight sneered and said, "Little ant, you should know my character! With so much wealth, how could I dare to leave without guards?"
"But I don't trust the other fierce beasts, so I had to guard it myself day and night."
"As a result, I ended up with an unexpected harvest."
"As for the resources you just collected, they were all left there intentionally by me."
"..."
Everyone's eyes twitched. Not a single one of them had thought of this...
You, the mighty Beast Emperor, spend your days not doing proper business, but guarding your treasures?
