Chapter 1440 - 1437: Seven-colored Treasure Cave!
Zhangg Zhong let out a thunderous shout and wielded a dark curved blade, slashing towards Li Chen.
Li Chen’s gaze was imperious, as he leisurely uttered two words.
"Looking for death!"
"Swish!"
Before the words had finished, the sword in Li Chen’s hand had already emerged from its sheath.
The Sword Shadow, like lightning, slashed towards Zhangg Zhong.
Zhangg Zhong never expected Li Chen’s sword to be so fast, instinctively brandishing his knife to block.
"Clang!"
The sword and knife collided fiercely, sparks scattering.
Zhangg Zhong was overpowered by Li Chen, forced to retreat repeatedly.
Suddenly, he noticed that everyone’s eyes on him were filled with astonishment, making his heart skip a beat.
"What’s going on? Why are they looking at me like this?"
Suddenly, a Fishman pointed at Zhangg Zhong’s neck.
Zhangg Zhong was puzzled, instinctively reaching to touch his neck.
Immediately, he astonishingly discovered that his head was rolling down like a ball from his neck.
"Ah!"
Zhangg Zhong let out a sudden scream, his neck like a fountain in a park, blood gushing upwards, dyeing the surrounding seawater a glaring red.
"Hiss!"
Instantly, there were cries of disbelief from the crowd.
No one would have thought that Zhangg Zhong, who had reached the Golden Core Middle Stage, would be beheaded by a very young-looking outsider with a single sword stroke; it was simply unbelievable!
Zhangg Kuang, witnessing the scene, was also taken aback.
"Good lad, no wonder you dared to intrude into my tribe; you do have some capabilities. But if you think that such meager skills can allow you to rampage in my Eight-clawed Tribe, then you are gravely mistaken!"
Before the words of fury were fully spoken, countless tentacles surged around Zhangg Kuang, like a deluge, sweeping towards Li Chen.
Seeing this scene, a disdainful cold smile appeared on the corner of Li Chen’s mouth.
"Petty tricks, how dare you show off in front of me, truly ignorant!"
While speaking, Li Chen wielded the Seven-star Dragon Abyss, slashing arcs of lightning straight at Zhangg Kuang’s tentacles.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
...
The Sword Intent and tentacles collided in mid-air, immediately erupting with the sounds of clashing gold and iron horses.
Soon after, Zhangg Kuang’s tentacles were severed one by one by Li Chen’s sword, recoiling as if electrocuted.
Seeing his tentacles curling up in pain, Zhangg Kuang ground his teeth in hatred.
"Who are you, really? Why did you kill my son Zhangg Li and invade my Eight-clawed Tribe?"
Facing Zhangg Kuang’s questioning, a grim Death God smile appeared on the corner of Li Chen’s mouth.
Next, he spoke slowly, word by word: "Because I want to!"
Because I want to!
These three words struck Zhangg Kuang’s heart like a heavy hammer.
He initially thought he was arrogant enough.
But unexpectedly, someone even more arrogant, a rascal, had appeared!
"Damn it, do you, outsider kid, really think my Eight-clawed Tribe is a soft persimmon that can be squeezed as you please?"
Zhangg Kuang was instantly furious, shouting orders to his sides: "Attack him, kill him, kill him!"
Under Zhangg Kuang’s hysterical roar, hundreds of Fishman Clan experts brandished their weapons and rushed towards Li Chen fiercely.
A flicker of disdainful cold gleamed in Li Chen’s eyes.
"Looking for death!"
The Death God-like tone still echoed in the void, when Li Chen’s hand holding the Seven-star Dragon Abyss suddenly raised, shooting tens of thousands of Sword Intents towards the surrounding Fishman Clan.
"Puchi!"
"Puchi!"
"Puchi!"
...
Though Li Chen’s cultivation was temporarily sealed, unable to exert full combat power, eliminating these minions was still quite easy.
With one sword stroke, hundreds of Fishman Clan experts were completely obliterated, returning to nothingness.
Seeing Li Chen’s unexpected power beyond his imagination, Zhangg Kuang shivered with fear.
He desperately steadied himself, deciding the best plan was to flee, urgently leaving this troublesome place.
However, how could Li Chen give him such an opportunity?
"Shwoosh!"
Li Chen flickered, appearing ghost-like before Zhangg Kuang, blocking his escape.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Zhangg Kuang tremblingly asked: "You came for the map of the Seven-colored Treasure Cave, didn’t you?"
Hearing "Seven-colored Treasure Cave," Li Chen was momentarily stunned.
Nonetheless, he didn’t reveal his doubts, instead calmly asking: "Why, do you know the location of the Seven-colored Treasure Cave?"
Hearing Li Chen’s response, Zhangg Kuang became even more certain of his own speculation.
"Indeed, the map of the Seven-colored Treasure Cave is in my possession. As long as you let me go, I will offer up the map with both hands!"
Li Chen did not directly agree with Zhangg Kuang but raised an eyebrow and asked: "Oh, the map? Let me see it."
As a Clan Leader, Zhangg Kuang naturally had his own unique strengths.
Now he could confirm that Li Chen came seeking the Seven-colored Treasure Cave map.
Thus, the Seven-colored Treasure Cave map became his bargaining chip in negotiations with Li Chen, and he couldn’t easily hand it over.
"You can have the map, but you must first swear to spare my life!"
A chilling murderous intent flashed in Li Chen’s deep, bright eyes.
Seeing Li Chen’s gaze, Zhangg Kuang was startled.
Before he could say another word, a pale glint of cold light swept before his eyes.
Zhangg Kuang never expected Li Chen would strike without warning.
For a moment, he was totally unprepared.
Moreover, Li Chen’s sword was swift and his angles sharp, making it hard to defend against.
Zhangg Kuang just felt a sudden chill on his neck, and his blood-soaked head rolled away.
Though decapitated, his eyes still widened in disbelief, filled with surprise.
Clearly dead with eyes wide open!
Li Chen reached out, extracting a scroll from Zhangg Kuang’s headless body.
The scroll was covered with ancient texts and diagrams.
He couldn’t fully recognize it, but ventured a guess that it might be the Seven-colored Treasure Cave map Zhangg Kuang mentioned before dying.
Li Chen didn’t investigate further, directly stowing the scroll away, planning to study it later.
Just as he was preparing to leave, he noticed twenty boxes of Luminous Pearl in the living room.
Though he had spent little time on Blue Star, he’d already learned these Luminous Pearls were practically currency, equivalent to Spirit Stones in the Cultivation Realm, usable like money.
Keeping this in mind, Li Chen hesitated no more, casually flicking the twenty boxes of Luminous Pearls into his pouch.
After settling everything, Li Chen waved his sleeve, departing gracefully without leaving a trace...
