Chapter 803: 803
“This is Glorious Exchanges . Don’t tell me you’re thinking of snatching others’ treasures in broad daylight . ?” A terrifying aura originated from Ye Chen . Although his cultivation base was merely that of a mid half-step King, his aura could frighten anybody under the Life and Death King realm .
Huff!
At the level of half-step King realm, one’s aura would gain substance and could contain an exceptionally destructive power . With Ye Chen as the center, the void suddenly trembled and a transparent shockwave spread out . Even though everyone present on the scene were half-step Kings, their faces changed, and some with weaker strengths couldn’t help but step back . Fortunately, the site was covered with a restriction and wouldn’t easily collapse .
“What a frightening aura!” The few young men and women in the crowd stared at Ye Chen, not expecting his aura to be so powerful .
“Hehe…you really dare to offend me in Gemstone Islands!”
The thin, black old man squinted his eyes, and his own aura burst out, colliding with Ye Chen’s . Creaking noises unceasingly echoed in the void, as if moaning due to being unable to endure the clash of the two auras .
“There are only two permanent ‘strongest’ half-step Kings in Gemstone Islands, and Darkbright King is one of them . It’s said that his Darkbright Fist Arts are feared among other ‘strongest’ half-step Kings, and nobody dares face it head on . It seems the rumors are true . Even his aura is enough to make one despair . ”
“Darkbright King is naturally a true ‘strongest’ half-step King . I wonder where this kid comes from though . He doesn’t seem to recognize Darkbright King, or he wouldn’t have acted as such . ”
“The young are haughty . However, although this kid’s cultivation base is only at mid half-step King realm, his aura is so powerful!”
“There are several folds to an aura being powerful . This kid’s aura contains a peerless sword intent . It must be because his achievements on sword intent are far beyond others’ grasp . ”
“You’re right . But, he is still too impulsive . To clash against a veteran ‘strongest’ half-step King is simply asking for trouble . ”
Numerous discussions arose .
“So, you’re a ‘strongest’ half-step King…No wonder you’re so arrogant!” Cultivation didn’t determine everything . Admittedly, Darkbright King’s cultivation base was at the higher stage, but it didn’t mean that he was a ‘strongest’ half-step King . However, Ye Chen could feel from his aura that he was truly powerful . Hearing the surrounding discussions, he immediately understood .
“It’s still not too late . Otherwise, Gemstone Islands will become your grave . ” Darkbright sneered . His fame in Gemstone Islands was resounding . Adding his cruel and sinister conduct, nobody was daring enough to provoke him . If not for this place being Glorious Exchanges, why would he bother with words? He would directly throw the former’s corpse in the ocean .
“Whose grave this place will become is not certain . But for now, close your mouth for me . ”
Ye Chen’s eyes shone brightly, emitting two peerless gems of sword intent . The void shook as a frightening sword intent gushed out, heading straight toward the Darkbright King .
Darkbright King didn’t expect that Ye Chen had been holding back . He had to admit that the latter’s sword will was above his martial will . With a snort, he unleashed his martial will, forming an incorporeal membrane and shielding his body .
Peng!
There was no heaven-shaking explosion, but Darkbright King’s body swayed and took half a step back . On the other side, Ye Chen didn’t budge from his place .
Darkbright King’s face showed a trace of humiliation and anger . Although his aura and martial will were not at the peak, they were not weak either . But, he still lost to Ye Chen . This made his face turn unsightly, as if he’d been slapped in the face,
“You’re courting death!” Darkbright King spoke through his teeth . His face turned grim, and a shining black glow covered his right arm . The temperature gradually rose, an indication of the Darkbright Fist .
“Darkbright King is going to act…But this is Glorious Exchanges!”
Everybody was astonished .
“I’ll accompany you till the end . ”
Ye Chen’s figure didn’t move, but the Evil Vanquishing Sword on his waist clanked .
“What do you think you’re doing!”
Just as the two were about to battle, the management of Glorious Exchanges finally made an appearance . From the entrance of the staircase, an old man accompanied by three middle-aged men headed over . The old man was dressed luxuriously and had the highest cultivation base amongst the three—high stage of half-step King realm .
The speaker was precisely the old man .
The old man swiftly walked over with a gloomy face and spoke, “This is Glorious Exchanges, not your battleground . ”
“So its chief steward He!”
The black glow covering Darkbright King’s right hand dimmed and he placed his hands back, revealing an unsightly smile .
“You’re still not backing off?” The old man glanced at Ye Chen with a sharp gaze .
“You only need a glance to tell that he was about to act . ”
Murong Qingcheng found the old man’s attitude too overbearing . Ye Chen didn’t even draw his sword . He was being impartial toward Darkbright King .
Clang!
Ye Chen coldly looked at Darkbright King, then glanced at the old man . The Evil Vanquishing Sword was drawn by an inch, then fiercely slammed in, arousing an ear-piercing sword cry as if glass was being cut by a sharp blade .
The old man’s face turned ashen . Although Ye Chen had not spoken, his conduct was undoubtedly a provocation .
“What the hell is happening?” The old man turned his head toward Darkbright King .
Darkbright smiled coldly, “This kid doesn’t know his own good . He actually tried snatching my treasure . How could this old man keep his mouth closed? I said a few words to him, but to think that he was so extreme . He directly tried to battle me . If not for this place, I would have already killed him . ”
“You really know how to run your mouth off . This Shadow Armor has already been purchased by me . You tried to snatch it . Don’t tell me Glorious Exchanges allows others to snatch their treasures?” Murong Qingcheng’s face was chilly .
Ye Chen said indifferently, “Everybody here can testify it . ”
“Testify? Who will testify for you?” Darkbright King couldn’t help a smile creeping on his face as he swept his gaze around .
All those under his gaze immediately avoided his gaze . Although they were no cowards, they didn’t wish to offend Darkbright King for others either . If one wished to live long and well, some matters were not to be touched .
Ultimately, his gaze fell on the seller of the shadow armor .
The old seller didn’t avoid his gaze and calmly said, “These old bones are only selling a treasure . Whoever gives me spirit stones, this armor is theirs . ”
“Whoever pays spirit stones? She hasn’t paid you yet, right?” Darkbright King revealed a smile, as if the situation was already in his grasp .
“Right, but I’ve already agreed to the sale . ”
The old man was in a hurry and didn’t wish for an accident . But at the same time, he wouldn’t betray his conscience either . Thus, he could only tell the truth . ”
“You can rest assured that I’ll pay as much as she agreed, and five hundred thousand upper grade spirit stones on top . ”
Darkbright King saw the Shadow Armor yesterday but didn’t have enough spirit stones on him, lacking ten million . In order to obtain the armor, he mobilized all his connections and borrowed a good amount of spirit stones, eventually scrapping thirty four million an hour ago . But, he was infuriated to find that somebody was one step ahead of him, about to snatch the armor away right before his eyes . This was the reason he was so furious .
“This doesn’t seem proper, does it?” The old man seemed troubled .
“There is nothing improper about it . You’ve still not completed the transaction . This is not against the rules of Glorious Exchanges, is it?” Darkbright King glanced at the old man in luxurious robes .
The latter glanced at Ye Chen and nodded faintly, “As long as no rule is violated, there is no problem . Since Darkbright King is giving five hundred thousand more, why don’t you sell it to him?”
The old man was the chief steward of Glorious Exchanges, with a strength nearing the ‘strongest’ half-step Kings . Be it for the sake of personal or public relations, he didn’t wish to clash with the Darkbright King . Moreover, Ye Chen’s arrogant and unyielding attitude just now had pissed him off . Thus, he showed a slight bias for Darkbright King .
Ye Chen sucked in a deep breath and said to Murong Qingcheng, “Murong, give him thirty four million and five hundred thousand . We’re leaving . ”
Hearing these words, Murong Qingcheng directly ignored the two and put the armor away, then took out a low grade spirit ring that she had instantly prepared and handed it over to the old seller .
“You…” Darkbright King’s eyes seemed on the verge of popping out .
The old man thoroughly checked the spirit ring and nodded, “Not one less . ” At the same time, he sent a Zhen Yuan transmission to Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng, “I apologize Sir and Madam . This old man has a pressing matter and doesn’t wish to provoke Darkbright King . I’ll return the extra spirit stones privately back to you . ”
Ye Chen replied, “I understand your difficulties . You don’t need to return anything . The Shadow Armor is deserving of the price . ”
“Many thanks, then . ” The old man was somewhat grateful .
“Treasures can burn hands . You think you can leave just like that?”
Darkbright King had spent a great deal of effort for this armor, and now it was going away before his eyes . Even a person with much better attitude would not have been able to endure it .
“Glorious Exchanges indeed fears the strong and bullies the weak . ” Ye Chen sent a mocking glance towards the head steward .
The latter’s face turned even more unsightly and growled at Darkbright King, “Don’t be rash . Not here . ”
Huff Huff Huff!
The Darkbright King took a few deep breaths but didn’t act in the end . He could disregard the face of the head steward, but not Glorious Exchanges’ . If he killed here, it would be him breaking the rules .
“Rest assured, as long as they’re in Gemstone Islands, you’ll get your hands on the armor sooner or later, and you won’t have to pay at that moment . ” The old man turned around and left with the three middle-aged men, leaving behind these words .
“We’re leaving as well . ”
Ye Chen held Murong Qingcheng’s hand and headed toward the exit . At the staircase, Ye Chen turned around, “Surely you won’t give up on the armor . We’ll be waiting . ”
At this point, words had no use . Some affairs must be settled with strength . If Darkbright King didn’t come asking for trouble, it would be good for him . Otherwise, he would be seeking his own doom .
