Ling Chen didn’t even spare a glance at Nangong Ya and his four companions; instead, he flew directly towards Qi Zhen.
Seeing Ling Chen shooting towards him, Qi Zhen was scared to the point of turning pale.
He had defeated five people in almost an instant. Such strength was on par with the geniuses who possessed the Genius Command!
Wave after wave of shock had already bewildered the distant cultivators spectating to the extreme!
Qi Zhen’s eyes suddenly focused as he tried to retreat explosively, but he soon realized that a young man with a gentle smile on his face had appeared in front of him.
Too late to react, he was punched in the nose by Ling Chen, blood gushing out as he passed out.
A stream of Spiritual Power entered Qi Zhen’s body, and Ling Chen absorbed the latter into his internal World Realm.
The battle ended too quickly. In the span of a few breaths, six geniuses had been utterly defeated!
Five were seriously injured, and one was captured; such was Ling Chen’s victory.
Only then did Ling Chen look over at Qin Wutian, revealing a set of pearly white teeth as he smiled, "Now we’re talking. No need for you all to gang up, you have the chance to fight me one-on-one. Make your move!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Wutian’s eyes showed a hint of horror.
Qi Zhen and the other six geniuses had been crushed by Ling Chen as easily as pulling up weeds.
Even if he was in the late stages of the third layer of the World Realm, he couldn’t achieve that!
With that thought, where could he find the courage to fight?
"Young Master Ling, you jest."
Qin Wutian forced a smile on his face as he spoke tremulously.
Now, Ling Chen’s strength was fully comparable to the geniuses who had the Genius Command!
He was just a holder of the Outstanding Talent Command; how could he compete with that?
Such strength, even within his own Qingyun Sword Sect, would be among the most top-notch existences.
Probably only his brother, Qin Wufa, could overpower Ling Chen!
Ling Chen grinned and said, "I don’t think so! You should still make a move! Let me also witness the strength of the top genius disciple of the number one sect, the Sky Sun Sect!"
Qin Wutian quickly waved his hands and fawningly said, "Young Master Ling, I am not a match for you!"
He already deeply regretted his actions.
If he had known Ling Chen possessed such terrifying strength, he wouldn’t have offended him, not even if he were beaten to death!
Ling Chen was definitely someone worthy of receiving the Genius Command.
It was said that the strongest in the Eastern Domain were only around the sixth layer of the World Realm!
Isn’t Ling Chen from the Eastern Domain?
How could he be so strong?
Judging by how easily Ling Chen dealt with Qi Zhen and the others, his strength must at least be at the fifth layer of the World Realm!
A genius even younger than himself, and from the Eastern Domain?
Is the Eastern Domain really the weakest domain?
"The Harmonization Fruit, you don’t want it either?"
Ling Chen took out the Harmonization Fruit again and smiled.
"We don’t want it! It’s yours, how could we take it?"
Qin Wutian said ingratiatingly.
Ling Chen nodded and said, "Then, about me impersonating a disciple from a Hidden Sect?"
Qin Wutian hurriedly said, "You didn’t impersonate anyone! You never said so. It was we who mistakenly thought you were a Hidden Sect disciple and thus invited you."
"Oh, so you’re saying you were deliberately causing trouble?"
Ling Chen’s expression turned cold.
"Yes, we were wrong. We failed to recognize a great man before us! Please don’t take it to heart, we are willing to compensate you!"
Qin Wutian quickly said with a forced smile.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The talented disciple from the top sect, the Qingyun Sword Sect, was actually acting so humble and deferential, completely overturning their image of aloof and arrogant elites!
Yan Huo and Lord Yan looked stunned at the slender figure in the sky.
"Father, it seems like we’ve made a huge profit this time!"
"Yes! A massive profit indeed!"
Lord Yan’s face was filled with excitement.
He never expected Ling Chen’s strength to be so terrifying.
Outstanding Youth-level genius?
He was clearly a Genius-level talent alright?
That one Harmonization Fruit had actually drawn in a Genius-level talent!
This business was much too profitable!
"Compensation, huh? Not bad!"
Ling Chen nodded, pondered for a moment, then looked towards several other geniuses in the distance, "What do you all think?"
"Compensation, we are willing to compensate!"
Lai Yunlong and the others, dragging their heavily injured bodies, flew over, speaking respectfully.
Even Qin Wutian, their leader, had surrendered, having witnessed the terrifying strength of Ling Chen, they dared not resist either.
"Very well! Two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals per person! How about that? Any objections?"
"Two hundred thousand?"
The spectating Cultivators were all dumbfounded.
Many of them had never seen so many top-grade Spirit Crystals in their entire lives!
"Two hundred thousand?"
Yan Huo and Lord Yan were also utterly shocked.
The auction they hosted hadn’t even made a hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals!
Ling Chen demanded two hundred thousand with just one sentence!
And that was per person!
Qin Wutian and the others were also stunned.
Especially Chen Gong.
Two hundred thousand was a huge sum even for their Sky Sun Sect.
Qin Wutian was the first to speak.
With his talent, he was indeed worth two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals!
Moreover, it was just an empty promise for now. Once their Protectors arrived, they simply wouldn’t pay, what could Ling Chen do then?
Lai Yunlong and the others quickly came to their senses and hastily agreed.
Ling Chen released Qi Zhen and Shi Rui from his inner world and woke them up.
He also told them about the compensation.
These two also agreed.
"Young Master Ling, we don’t have so many Spirit Crystals on us, once we gather enough at our sect, we will deliver them to you!"
Having reached an agreement with Ling Chen, at least they wouldn’t be humiliated anymore, and so he relaxed.
Qi Zhen and the others echoed in agreement.
Ling Chen slightly smiled and said, "You all should stay here! As for gathering the Spirit Crystals, let’s not trouble you with that. Your Protectors should be arriving soon, right?"
Ling Chen moved in a flash, striking Qin Wutian first.
His move was so sudden that even Qin Wutian couldn’t react in time.
He was directly hit by Ling Chen’s palm on the Heavenly Spirit, fainting immediately.
Then, a stream of Spiritual Power entered Qin Wutian’s body, sealing his cultivation.
For the others, Ling Chen did the same, sealing the cultivation of the remaining five.
Letting them go back now, the so-called compensation would probably vanish like a bubble.
Not to mention, they might be hunted down by sects from the Central Domain!
Ling Chen was not that foolish!
Just as Ling Chen finished doing all this, eight streaks of light burst forth from the distance.
Looking at the eight figures behind Ling Chen, all eight cried out.
"Brat, let go of Young Master Wutian!"
An elderly man said coldly.
This man was Qin Wutian’s Protector, an Elder of the Qingyun Sword Sect!
His cultivation had even reached the late stages of the fifth layer of the World Realm! ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel⦿fire.net
Among the eight, he had the highest cultivation.
Ling Chen’s gaze turned icy, his right hand emitting a suction force, pulling the behind Qin Wutian closer.
Ling Chen slapped him across the face.
Qin Wutian’s cheek swelled at a visibly fast rate.
The old man was furious.
Before the old man could finish his words, Ling Chen slapped him again.
"Old man, mind your tone when you speak!"
