Chapter 426: Chapter 426: You Bet, You Lose, Trying to Renege on a Debt?

Boom—

Rumbling—

Dazzling light shone in front of everyone, with flames filling the entire fifth level of the Trial Tower.

At this moment, the combat in the fifth level of the Trial Tower was intense. Apart from the ten Spiritual Puppets that had reached the Half-Step Reverting Void Realm, all the other Spiritual Puppets perished under the Fireballs released by Lin Chen.

The range of the Fireball explosion was under Lin Chen’s control, and it did not sweep across the Martial Artists present.

However, Lin Chen’s powerful method immediately shocked everyone, including Deng Yu.

At this moment, they looked at Lin Chen as if he were a monster, their breathing extremely heavy.

Especially the muscular man, who had also realized just how powerful and terrifying Lin Chen was.

At this time, the ten Spiritual Puppets of the Half-Step Reverting Void Realm level seemed to possess some Spiritual Wisdom. They even glanced at each other and then, in unison, launched an attack towards Lin Chen.

"Next, it’s time to deal with you few."

Inside Lin Chen, the Primordial Transformation Art automatically operated, continuously absorbing the energy from the shattered Spiritual Puppets around him.

At that moment, Lin Chen felt an unprecedented power coursing through his body, filled with abundant Spiritual Power.

Lin Chen moved swiftly towards the ten Spiritual Puppets and charged into battle.

"Finders, keepers. You can’t have all these Spiritual Puppets to yourself."

Although Deng Yu was astonished by Lin Chen’s terrifying strength and knew he was not on the same level, it didn’t mean he was giving up on killing those Spiritual Puppets.

Right then, he exerted his movement technique to the utmost and rushed towards the ten Spiritual Puppets of the Half-Step Reverting Void Realm level.

Seeing this, Du Feiyu could not show weakness either.

Although his Cultivation was only at the Ninth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm, if he used all his techniques, he might be able to compete with those Spiritual Puppets.

After another bout of fierce combat, Lin Chen directly annihilated eight of the Half-Step Reverting Void Realm’s Spiritual Puppets, while Du Feiyu and Deng Yu each killed one.

Afterward, the three began to absorb the energy from the shattered Half-Step Reverting Void Realm Spiritual Puppets.

After Lin Chen finished absorbing, Deng Yu slowly completed his absorption, and Du Feiyu followed only after Deng Yu had finished.

"How about it? A bet is a bet; hand over all your treasures."

After the three finished absorbing the energy from the shattered Spiritual Puppets, Hong Lan slowly approached the muscular man and spoke to him.

At this moment, the muscular man showed a face full of reluctance. They had indeed lost the bet.

But the muscular man did not want to hand over all his treasures according to the bet because his agreement to Hong Lan’s bet had only been based on Deng Yu’s strength, believing there was no way they could lose.

Now, however, the result was a complete victory for Lin Chen’s team.

The number of Spiritual Puppets Lin Chen killed was more than nine times that of Deng Yu.

"What now, are you intending to go back on your word?"

Seeing the muscular man hesitant and unwilling to hand over his treasures, Lin Chen took a step forward and spoke indifferently.

As the words fell, a powerful burst of Soul Power exuded from Lin Chen, pressing towards the muscular man and his companions oppressively.

Humm humm—

As the formidable Soul Power bore down on them, the muscular man’s face changed drastically; they had never anticipated that Lin Chen’s Divine Soul would be so strong.

Even Deng Yu found Lin Chen’s Soul Power somewhat overwhelming, and most importantly, he had already witnessed Lin Chen’s combat abilities and knew that Lin Chen was not an easy target to provoke.

Offending him would bring harm without a single benefit.

If they were to offend him over some external possessions, it would truly be an unwise decision.

"Brother Lin Chen, please quell your anger. We will not default on our agreement, and will hand over the Treasures to you immediately,"

the muscular man hurriedly pleaded.

As he spoke, he reached for his storage bag, swept through it with his Divine Sense, and took out all the Treasures inside.

Seeing this, Lin Chen finally dissipated his Soul Power.

Hong Lan, who was delighted at the sight of the Treasures, was about to store them in her own storage bag when she saw Lin Chen gesture grandly with his hand, directly collecting all the Treasures into the space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

"Brother Lin Chen, what is this..."

Hong Lan had never expected that Lin Chen was actually taking charge on her behalf in order to secure the Treasures for himself.

Hearing Hong Lan’s coquettish voice, Lin Chen paid no attention and instead turned his gaze to Deng Yu.

Deng Yu did not say much either. Previously, he had acknowledged the bet between the muscular man and Hong Lan, and Lin Chen’s strength had made him utterly convinced of his defeat, also making him understand the truth that there are always stronger people in the world.

Receiving the storage bag, Lin Chen only briefly scanned it with his Divine Sense before placing it into the space within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

Once inside the space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, regardless of whether the Treasures in the storage bag had been tampered with, all connection with the outside world would be severed. Furthermore, the Cauldron would immediately sense any issues, so Lin Chen didn’t need to meticulously inspect each Treasure.

After taking Deng Yu’s storage bag, Lin Chen was overjoyed, very satisfied with the Treasures within it. Their value surpassed all the Treasures he had plundered in the Baiming Pavilion combined.

"All of you should leave the Trial Tower quickly. The passageway to the sixth floor will open soon, and I won’t have time to look after you then,"

Lin Chen said, turning to Qiu Ya and the other Martial Artists.

Hearing this, Qiu Ya and the others nodded their heads. Being under Lin Chen’s protection and reaching this point was already quite fulfilling, so they didn’t yearn to advance further up the high tower.

Soon after, Qiu Ya and the others made their way to the teleportation window, vanished in a flash, and left the Trial Tower.

Under Du Feiyu’s persuasion, Hong Lan and the rest also departed, leaving only Du Feiyu himself behind.

All of Lin Chen’s team had left.

On Deng Yu’s side, the muscular giant and another bulky Martial Artist at the Ninth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm, hadn’t left the Trial Tower, and the rest, also fearing the danger ahead, followed in the footsteps of Qiu Ya and the others, leaving the Trial Tower one by one.

Whoosh whoosh—

After everyone had left, five beams of light landed upon the bodies of Lin Chen and his remaining compatriots, signaling that it was time to enter the sixth floor of the Trial Tower.

Lin Chen was quite curious, wondering what kind of Spiritual Puppets awaited him on the sixth floor of the Trial Tower?
