Chapter 142: Being Despised!

  Having witnessed the horrors of the Death Domain, Yi Chen's eyebrows furrowed.

  The Eastern Snowfield is just on the other side, and if you want to go there, you must swim across the River of Death.

  But there were countless powerful magical beasts in the river, and according to Yi Chen's strength, it was possible to die at any time if he swam alone.

  "If it doesn't work out, I can only join some mercenary groups." Yi Chen made this decision for the sake of his own life.

  Mixed in with a group of mercenaries, if you encounter a demon beast, at the very least you won't have to fight alone, and even if you run away, there will be others to act as a meat shield, greatly increasing your safety factor.

  Having made up his mind, Yi Chen walked along the shore and finally arrived outside a huge camp.

  This is a very famous mercenary camp, all mercenaries will be stationed here, and the relationship is complex.

  Apart from this, it is also a trading market for various strange objects. Mercenaries will transport the things they have obtained to sell here, attracting countless merchants who come to dig up treasures.

  Just arrived here, Yi Chen felt refreshed. The roads in the camp had stalls everywhere, and the things sold were complete.

  "Five-level beast soul."

  "Four-star Soul Spirit Stone." Yi Chen's face showed a look of surprise after seeing what they were selling.

  The greater the danger, the greater the opportunity. Mercenaries who often hover between life and death are more likely to obtain some treasures that ordinary cultivators flock to.

  Without thinking much, Yi Chen quickly reacted and looked at the price tag above, discovering that a fifth-level magical beast soul actually cost 2 million gold coins.

  Yi Chen's beast soul is now at level 5, and to upgrade it to level 6, a large number of beast souls are needed. A single level 5 beast soul costs 200,000, which he cannot afford.

  Yi Chen was just strolling around the camp and didn't buy anything, and happened to ask about the news in the camp.

  "Yesterday, two groups of mercenaries went to the Eastern Domain Snowfield, but none of them returned, all dying under the claws of a powerful magical beast."

  "The demons there are too terrifying, no worse than those in the Death Domain, and possibly even stronger."

  "The camp on the east side is recruiting mercenaries again, as long as you have a Zhenyuan boundary cultivation, you can participate, and there are also two three-star soul spirit stones as rewards."

  After making a round in the camp, Yi Chen got various news, and the last one deeply attracted him.

  Small mercenary groups don't have the strength to cross the river, medium-sized ones aren't that safe either, but large mercenary groups might be worth considering.

  Thinking of this, Yi Chen went towards the east side of the camp, where more mercenaries gathered, and their strength was all above the Chen Hun realm.

  "Do you recruit mercenaries here?"

  Without thinking much, Yi Chen saw an old man wearing a black robe. Although he wore a black hood, his withered hands still exposed his age.

  "Young man, you'd better leave. We only accept cultivators above the Celestial Soul Realm here." Yi Chen also wore a bamboo hat, but his somewhat childish voice revealed his age, and the old man's hoarse voice rang out.

  "A little devil who hasn't even grown a single hair, dares to join the mercenaries? Go back home and drink milk instead, lest you wet your pants when faced with powerful magical beasts." A contemptuous voice rang out, causing the surrounding mercenaries to burst into laughter.

  Yi Chen's expression didn't change, he turned his head towards the source of the sound and saw a young man looking at him with a contemptuous gaze, with an air of superiority.

  "Hey kid, what are you staring at? Do you believe I'll skin you alive?" The young man threatened with a glare.

  "I'd like to see if you have what it takes." Yi Chen sensed the opponent's cultivation and found that he was only at the Chen Hun Realm, a corner of his mouth curled up as he said.

  "What a arrogant little devil, just wait and see the good show later." Many mercenaries' faces showed surprise, pointing at Yi Chen with their fingers, their eyes full of mockery.

  "Dare to speak to me, Liu Haoyun, like that? You're the first one. Now kneel down and knock your head twice, we might consider letting you off."

  Standing beside Liu Haoyun were two more Star Soul cultivators, one of whom sneered coldly at Yi Chen.

  "Kowtow? Or would you like to demonstrate it for me first?" Yi Chen's mouth slightly hooked, his face calm.

  "You little demon, do you know who we are? How dare you speak to us like that, believe it or not, I'll kill you with one slash?" The Star Soul Realm cultivator's face sank after being rebuked.

  "I'm not interested in knowing about trivial matters like cats and dogs." Yi Chen said calmly, shrugging his shoulders.

  "Hmph, you inexperienced little brat, let me teach you how to be a person."

  Unexpectedly, Yi Chen was so arrogant that the two Star Soul Realm cultivators were enraged. They turned to ask for instructions from Liu Haoyun and then simultaneously activated their soul power to attack Yi Chen.

  "Take a punch from me." The Star Soul cultivator who had been shouting earlier suddenly clenched his fist and sent it flying towards Yi Chen's head with a burst of energy.

  Two Star Souls, Yi Chen didn't take them seriously at all, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

  "Roll" didn't even use soul power, Yi Chen's seemingly casual wave of his hand directly sent that Star Soul Realm cultivator flying.

  "Isn't that right? In the absence of a soul force, you can actually defeat a Star Soul Realm cultivator?" The mocking expressions on the faces of the mercenary spectators froze, and they stared at Yi Chen in shock.

  "Third-rate soul technique - Drifting Cloud Fist!" The remaining Star Soul Stage cultivator's face changed, and his soul power surged in his fist, striking towards Yi Chen's head.

  A strong gust of wind came, but Yi Chen did not harden his stance. He quickly dodged to the right and then slapped a palm on his face.

  "Slap!" A crisp sound rang out, and the Star Soul cultivator was slapped flying, crashing into Liu Haoyun.

  "He actually dared to provoke Liu Haoyun, doesn't he know about Liu Haoyun's background?"

  "In a situation where he didn't use his soul power, he actually used physical strength to defeat two Star Soul Realm cultivators. He must not be an ordinary person either."

  Those mercenaries pointed at Yi Chen, while the old man in charge of collecting people slightly raised his head, but quickly withdrew his gaze, as if he hadn't seen anything.

  Liu Haoyun's face sank, and he dodged to the right, staring at Yi Chen with an extremely cold gaze.

  "Little master gives you a chance to admit your mistake, now kneel down and I'll spare your life." Yi Chen said in the same tone as they had spoken earlier.

  "Looking for death." Liu Haoyun's eyes flashed with murderous intent, his crimson soul power surging as he suddenly stomped the ground and rapidly charged out, his fists clenched and hurtling towards Yi Chen with a ferocious momentum.

  His body slightly tilted, Yi Chen quickly dodged his attack, and with a swift kick to the abdomen, he sent him flying out.

  "What a speed, he can actually resist the power of the Tianshen realm with his physical strength alone." Everyone present was shocked.

  "It turns out you have some skills after all, I underestimated you."

  Liu Haoyun was only slightly surprised, and then he let out a cold laugh. A strong soul force surged out from his body, condensing into a red dragon head behind him.

  That dragon head looked extremely majestic, releasing an aura that was extremely terrifying, and the hearts of everyone present trembled.

  "With soul power condensing dragon energy, this kind of soul technique only appears in the Wind Shadow Empire. Could he be a person from the Wind Shadow Empire?"

  "If that's really the case, then that little devil is in trouble. In the Wind Shadow Empire, those who can use this soul technique are all figures from the imperial family." The onlookers were extremely shocked.

  "What kind of soul skill is this?" Yi Chen's face flashed with surprise, his eyes narrowing slightly.

  Using such a soul technique was extremely exhausting, Liu Haoyun's face turned somewhat pale, his gaze at Yi Chen filled with ferocity, and he casually clasped his hands together to strike forward.

  "In an instant, the dragon head condensed behind him let out a long roar, stirring up strong gusts of wind around him, and the terrifying majesty spread in all directions, as if a real dragon had descended."

  "What a terrifying aura, this soul technique is too frightening, it's like a real dragon." Some cultivators with lower cultivation levels turned pale and exclaimed in shock.

  "That kid is in trouble, such a soul technique can't be blocked by an ordinary Zhenyuan realm cultivator." Some cultivators turned their heads to look at Yi Chen and said.

  "Watch me tear you in two, Dragon Soul Nine Fights - First Fight!"

  Liu Haoyun let out a cold shout, his hands forming a seal as he struck forward. Instantly, the dragon head came bearing down with terrifying pressure, warping space wherever it went.

  "Heavenly Thunder Palm, Fourth Heavy Blow!"

  Although confident of victory, Yi Chen did not intend to expose his full strength, suppressing the cultivator at the Zhēn Hún Jìng level. With a flip of his right palm, he struck forward, meeting the dragon head.

  Boom

  A visible ripple spread out in all directions, and Yi Chen and Liu Haoyun were both knocked back. The two of them retreated a distance apart, and that Liu Haoyun spat out a mouthful of blood.

  "He actually blocked the attack and even injured Liu Haoyun?" The mercenaries felt unbelievable, looking at Yi Chen with shocked eyes.

  "How could you possibly block it?"

  Liu Haoyun's face turned pale, he deeply knew the power of that move just now, that move was enough to kill an ordinary Zhenyuan realm expert, but it was blocked by a nameless little ghost.

  Yi Chen bit his tongue and a thread of fresh blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, his face looking equally pale.

  "Impossible!" Yi Chen cursed lightly and quickly rushed out with the tip of his foot, kicking Liu Haoyun's body and sending him flying.

  Just now that move used up all of Liu Haoyun's spiritual power, at this time he was even less a match for Yi Chen, heavily falling to the ground, staring at Yi Chen with a fierce gaze.

  "Kneel down and beg for mercy, I'll spare your life." Yi Chen said as he walked to Liu Haoyun's side.

  "You little devil, don't be too pleased with yourself yet. Just wait and see how you die." Liu Haoyun spat out a mouthful of blood, his face twisted in a fierce expression.

  "You still dare to be arrogant." Yi Chen smiled indifferently, and with one foot, he stepped on Liu Haoyun's head, making the latter's head have an intimate contact with the ground.

  "What a arrogant little guy, and his strength is so overwhelming." Seeing Liu Haoyun's wretched appearance, the surrounding mercenaries were filled with disbelief.

  "I'm going to kill you." Liu Haoyun's face turned even more ferocious as he shouted, being trampled on in front of so many people.

  "You want to kill me, but unfortunately you won't have this chance."

  Yi Chen's eyes flashed with a murderous intent, and then he manipulated his soul power to condense in his fist, which was thrust towards Liu Haoyun's head with the intention of killing him with one move.

  Since the other party has threatened to take his own life, Yi Chen also had nothing good to worry about.
