Chapter 101: Chapter 71: Entering the Body

At this moment, the white-clad young woman’s face was more serious than ever: “Moreover, there are other treasures within this ancient tomb. As long as you agree to the conditions, all these treasures can be yours.”

Zhang Chen inwardly sneered at these words. He and the Fox Spirit were like fire and water, how could he possibly give the True Dragon Destiny to the Fox Spirit? However, he could take the opportunity to inquire more about this True Dragon Destiny from the Fox Spirit, so he said with feigned compliance:

“How am I to give you the True Dragon Destiny? Is there even a way to strip it away?”

“Of course there’s a way! That True Dragon Destiny only just attached itself to you and hasn’t yet merged with your Life Chart; it’s not hard to separate it out. As long as you accept that Golden Light, I naturally have a way to extract the True Dragon Destiny.” the Fox Spirit said.

“Are there any aftereffects?” Zhang Chen asked.

“That Dragon Qi just attached to you, what kind of aftereffects could there be?” the Fox Spirit replied.

“Even if there are no aftereffects, if you get the True Dragon Bone and then I give you the True Dragon Destiny, wouldn’t that be a waste of time for me to play along? You’re quite the schemer!” Zhang Chen’s eyes fixed on the Fox Spirit, his gaze was filled with cold light.

“What do you propose to do? Don’t forget, you need my skills to escape from this stone chamber.” The Fox Spirit’s eyes looked at Zhang Chen, also filled with cold light.

“And don’t you forget, your physical body is still in my hands.” Zhang Chen held the Fox Spirit’s body in one hand and a large knife in the other, his gaze was ruthless, showing no intention of backing down.

The atmosphere in the scene was tranquil at that moment, the Fox Spirit and Zhang Chen were staring at each other, both with serious expressions, neither showing any intention of yielding.

“How about you return my physical body to me first, and after we get out, we can discuss the ownership of the True Dragon Destiny and the True Dragon Skeleton?” The Fox Spirit’s eyes shifted, her tone softened.

Facing the Fox Spirit, Zhang Chen’s gaze was full of caution. The current physical body was his only leverage over the Fox Spirit, who was a sixth-level existence, two levels higher than his fourth-level Light of the True God.

Especially since earlier, when the Fox Spirit was fighting the True Dragon Obsession within the True Dragon Skeleton, the Fox Spirit didn’t seem that afraid of his Light of the True God.

“Weren’t you very afraid of my Light of the True God before? Why weren’t you afraid of it when fighting the Dragon Soul?” Zhang Chen asked.

“Is your Golden Light called Light of the True God? That’s a good name! I know your fear, fearing that the only thing that can restrain me, the Light of the True God, might lose its effect. But the price I paid to counter your Light of the True God was beyond your imagination. But as long as I obtain the True Dragon Destiny, everything can be compensated for! Every cost is worth it!” The Fox Spirit’s eyes fixated on Zhang Chen.

“Cut to the chase, just tell me the reason. Were you acting all along?” Zhang Chen asked.

He didn’t think the Fox Spirit was acting. Previously, the Fox Spirit was restrained by his Light of the True God, and all those performances, the anger and frustration, didn’t seem faked.

“It’s Dragon Qi! The True Dragon Skeleton still harbors residual fate energy, which can neutralize at least fifty percent of your Light of the True God’s power!” the Fox Spirit explained.

“The reason I could withstand your Light of the True God was due to the fate energy from the True Dragon Skeleton.” The Fox Spirit didn’t hide anything, as Zhang Chen now housed the Dragon Soul within himself, he might have already sensed the reason, so lying would be pointless. He might as well tell the truth.

Zhang Chen quickly went to sense it, sure enough, the Dragon Qi in the Soul World could actually resist the power of the Light of the True God.

“How strange! What is this True Dragon Destiny? And what on earth is this elusive fate energy?” Zhang Chen was filled with uncertainty.

“Can you return my physical body to me now? You have the True Dragon Destiny I want, and as long as I haven’t obtained it, I won’t harm you.” The Fox Spirit girl looked at Zhang Chen, her voice filled with innocence and purity.

Zhang Chen held the Fox Spirit’s body tightly, his eyes flickering with thought. He knew very well that if he returned the body to the Fox Spirit, the Fox Spirit would likely not let it go after regaining her body and would certainly plot against him.

Not to mention, if the Fox Spirit left him here in the tomb, how would he escape?

Surrounded by Copper Wall and Iron Wall, would he not starve to death here?

Then the Fox Spirit could easily kill him without breaking a sweat.

Zhang Chen was somewhat mistaken in thinking he could use some treasure from within the True Dragon Tomb to hold leverage over the Fox Spirit, threatening her to take him out, only to find the tomb contained nothing but the True Dragon Skeleton and a remnant of True Dragon Obsession.

Even the skeleton, he couldn’t take it even if it was given to him!

So now he has to change tactics, using the Fox Spirit to get himself out of the tomb, and then think of a way to turn the tables, to kill the Fox Spirit.

“I’m afraid you’ll leave me stranded here once you regain your body, so I think you should take me out first, and then I’ll return the body to you.” Zhang Chen’s eyes fixed on the Fox Spirit, his voice firm.

“Hehe.” The Fox Spirit laughed suddenly, her eyes on Zhang Chen, the smile full of confidence: “I suppose you haven’t quite realized your situation; do you think you still have the upper hand?”

“Do you think you still have the upper hand?” Zhang Chen shook the Fox Spirit’s body in his hand, making the Fox Spirit’s eyelids twitch and a trace of Evil Qi in her brows:

“I won’t kill you; I’ll just trap you here, giving you a bit of water and food every few days. How long do you think you can last?”

“Do you believe I will kill your body and take you down with me? If I can’t get out, we’ll both die here!” Zhang Chen stared at the Fox Spirit, holding the Fox Spirit’s body close to the knife. A little more pressure, and the Fox Spirit would die instantly.

Seeing Zhang Chen’s actions, the Fox Spirit remained unflustered, her voice indifferent: “Boy, I’ll give you three days to decide whether or not to follow my rules. You can reflect on it here.”

Then her figure flashed and disappeared into the stone cave, only the sound echoing in the vast underground cave: After speaking, the Fox Spirit’s figure disappeared, leaving Zhang Chen standing there, holding the Fox Spirit’s body in contemplation.

“This damn Fox Spirit is really tenacious,” Zhang Chen muttered, grasping the Fox Spirit’s body, a murderous intent flickering in his eyes: “It seems there’s no peaceful resolution for me and the Fox Spirit, and she will never let me leave the tomb. The Fox Spirit can move tens of thousands of pounds of stones, and once outside, she can throw stones at me from afar, and I won’t be able to handle it.”

“I must kill the Fox Spirit within the tomb, not giving her a chance to survive. The limited space in the tomb greatly restricts the Fox Spirit’s freedom and capabilities.” Zhang Chen tightened his grip on the Fox Spirit’s body, then stripped off his clothes, wrapped the body tightly with Golden Light, to prevent the Fox Spirit from stealing the body while he was incapacitated.

His eyes scanned the tomb chamber, finally resting on the black skill on the ground.

“What is that black skill? It’s very peculiar; I’ve never seen a black skill before.” Zhang Chen’s gaze fell on the skill, his eyes filled with curiosity.

This was no ordinary skill; it was a skill left behind by the True Dragon Grudge before its death.

“I wonder if this skill will surprise me.” Zhang Chen approached the orb, only to feel an unseen ominous energy rising and spreading across Heaven and Earth, pressing down on him as if to pull his soul out.
