Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 655 Chen Jie: Li Siqi, do you dare to come up here?

A rustling sound filled the woods. Prince Qi, Li Siqi, and his men were guarding the area, watching the situation. A golden lotus in full bloom radiated a mesmerizing seven-colored light. When that light entered the body, it immediately gave one a unique feeling.

This is!

Li Siqi's eyes immediately became fixed on the seven-colored lotus.

Chen Jie's gaze narrowed slightly as he instantly spotted Li Siqi gathering behind him. He was filled with thoughts. At this moment, Hu San Tai Nai's possession time was down to a mere minute. If he couldn't eliminate these people within that minute, he would have to invoke the god for the third time.

Grandma Hu only gave him three fox hairs, which meant that he only had one last chance to use these fox hairs to invoke the gods.

However, the opposing team had a total of eight third-stage Molten Gods, including Li Siqi, a well-established expert on the Heavenly Ranking, and Damoba, a disciple of a Living Buddha. It can be said that this team was quite powerful.

The possibility of him dealing with them within a minute is almost nonexistent.

However, Chen Jie was still unwilling to use his third chance to summon the gods. He had a lingering worry: Tang Bao and Tong Wei were still alive. Given their character, they had suffered such a great loss at Chen Jie's hands, and they would surely seek revenge.

Especially considering Tong Wei's violent nature and his tendency to seek revenge quickly, they would definitely retaliate immediately. In other words, there's a high probability that someone will come to kill me if I leave here.

Perhaps those two are already blocking the entrance to Tianchi, waiting to retaliate as soon as I step out.

Therefore, Chen Jie did not want to waste this opportunity to use Hu Santai's power. Although he still had the help of the Immortal Blood, Hu Santai's power had no side effects and was really powerful. Why should he use the Immortal Blood?
Moreover, the power of the fox spirit can only be used outside the pass; it cannot be used outside the pass. Therefore, the immortal blood can still be used as a trump card, but the power of the fox spirit cannot.

Because of this consideration, Chen Jie still intends to be more careful with his spending.

How can one successfully obtain this celestial opportunity, the Golden Lotus of the Earth Vein, without using any additional fox spirit power?
Chen Jie had two choices. One was to immediately move forward, pluck the golden lotus, and then turn and run. As long as he ran fast enough, these people wouldn't be able to catch him. If he could just endure the initial pursuit and then find a place to rest for a while, he could raise his strength to the third level of the Fusion God realm. In that case, he would have a chance to survive against these people.

However, Chen Jie didn't like this method; it was too cumbersome. Besides, it could be used as a backup plan, as Chen Jie had other options to change things.

Thinking it over, Chen decided to use the second plan, which was to scare them and gamble that they would not dare to make any rash moves.

Chen Jie thought for a moment, then said to Hu Santai, "Third Sister, give me your power."

Grandma Hu said, "I can only maintain this strength for less than a minute. Quickly get the third fox hair."

"No, I need to conserve that power. One minute is enough!"

As Chen explained, he said to Grandma Hu, "Give it to me!"

Grandma Hu stopped talking and directly gave all her power to Chen Jie. With this power, Chen Jie waved his hand and immediately followed up with a Dragon Capture Eighteen Strike.

[The Eighteen Dragon-Capturing Palms - Shocking the Hundred Miles!]

Ouch...

With a single palm strike, a dragon's roar resounded, and Chen Jie unleashed a gigantic dragon. The dragon coiled, its body ablaze with red flames, and charged towards Li Siqi. Chen Jie roared, "Get out here!"

Ow...

The fire dragon roared and charged straight at Li Siqi and his group. As soon as they arrived, they were met with a fire dragon. Everyone was shocked. Li Siqi said, "Chen Jiu Si, how dare you do this!"

After saying that, he immediately drew his sword, and the people behind him also attacked in unison to resist this move, the Eighteen Palms of Dragon Capture.

boom!
When the eight third-stage Fusion Gods attacked together, a loud bang was heard, and Chen Jie's Eighteen Dragon-Capturing Palms were broken, and the giant dragon exploded in the air.

However, before the eight people could even catch their breath, they suddenly looked up in terror at the sky as a giant fiery hand slammed down!

[Zhurong's Divine Fire Palm!]

boom!
The enormous palm print slammed down. Li Siqi and the others stared wide-eyed at the sight of the massive hand and cried out, "Watch out!"

Then the eight people suddenly unleashed their power together to resist the attack of Zhu Rong's Divine Fire Palm.

boom!
The eight people released multicolored light, forming a huge aggregate of power in the air. Finally, it collided with the Zhu Rong Divine Fire Palm that was slamming down. A loud bang was heard, and a huge palm print was left on the ground.

Flames rose from the edge of the palm print, burning fiercely, and then, with a "poof," the people inside the palm print coughed up a mouthful of blood!

They were all seriously injured by that palm strike.

Just as everyone was terrified, thinking Chen Jie would continue his attack, he suddenly stopped. At that moment, in Chen Jie's mind, Grandma Hu San said, "Time's up, the rest is up to you!"

After saying that, Grandma Hu San disappeared directly from Chen Jie's sea of ​​consciousness.

Chen Jie felt the scorching fire-type qi being rapidly drawn out of his body, causing him great discomfort, but he remained silent and simply waited.

At this moment, Li Siqi and the others also realized what was happening.

Some hot-tempered individuals immediately took to the air, ready to fight Chen Jie. However, Chen Jie stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the flying third-stage Melting God and said, "What? You still want to fight me?"

Chen Jie looked at the three-stage Fusion God with disdain.

The man's gaze turned cold, and he was about to make a move, but someone next to him immediately stepped forward and stopped him, saying, "Wait."

He gestured to Li Siqi, telling them not to rush things until Li Siqi made his move.

The man realized what had happened, glanced at Chen Jie, and then landed, looking at Li Siqi and saying, "We've been discovered, what do we do now?"

Li Siqi then looked at Chen Jie with a grim expression and asked, "Chen Jiu Si, what do you mean?"

"what do you mean?"

Chen Jie retorted to Li Siqi, "Now that you've discovered it, why don't you continue to kill us? What are you afraid of?"

Li Siqi, having said this, looked at Chen Jie and said, "Or is it that you no longer have the strength to kill us, and what you did just now was nothing but a bluff?" "A bluff? Hahaha..."

Chen Jie laughed and said, "So you want to try again?"

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi's gaze sharpened, and he said, "It's not impossible!"

Just as the conflict was about to escalate, Damoba stopped Li Siqi and said, "This boy is so determined, he probably has other ideas. We must not be careless!"

"Does he have other ideas?"

Li Siqi frowned, staring at Chen Jie without speaking or making a move. Chen Jie, also without making a move, looked at Li Siqi and asked, "Are you calm now?"

Li Siqi looked at Chen Jie and said, "Stop making a big show of it. It's not like I'm afraid of you."

Chen Jie chuckled and said, "You're still not quite calm. Why don't you ask Master Damoba next to you to persuade you and help you calm down?"

Li Siqi looked at Damoba, who then frowned and looked at Chen Jiedao, saying, "Chen Jiu Si, what do you mean by this?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "It doesn't mean anything; I just don't want to push things too far."

Damopa asked, "What do you mean by not wanting to push things to the extreme?"

Chen Jie said, "Fine, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you anymore. I'll just be blunt. Although you're not strong enough, you can still wear down my power."

"As you all know, I fought a great battle with Tang Bao and Tong Wei. Halfway through, the toad interfered, which prevented me from killing them here. I suspect they won't give up easily. Knowing they are no match for me in the ley lines, they are definitely planning to intercept me outside the Heavenly Pool."

"A fierce battle is inevitable then!"

At this point, Chen Jie continued, "So before that great battle, I didn't want to expend too much energy. I wanted to maintain peak combat power at all times to deal with those two."

"And you are not the targets I'm dealing with, so I just gave you a small punishment as a warning to bring you to your senses."

"Now you understand why I stopped, right?"

Chen Jie looked at the group and said, his meaning was clear: I'm not killing you only because I don't want to waste my Qi. I'm saving my Qi for those two fourth-stage Fusion Gods. You're not worthy of my attention.

Upon hearing Chen Jie's words, both Damoba and Li Siqi frowned.

The other three-stage Fusion Gods were also somewhat confused about whether Chen Jie's words were true or false.

After a brief stalemate, Chen Jie looked at them and said, "What, haven't I made myself clear?"

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi spoke first: "You say I'm not your enemy, but we're already sworn enemies. How can you say I'm not your enemy? Are you trying to deceive me?"

Chen Jie said, "Things should be prioritized. Our battle should take place on the battlefield, for the sake of supremacy, not in this martial world."

"Moreover, our battle is not urgent. I am not in a hurry to kill you, and it is useless for you to kill me. I have a major concern now, namely Tang Bao and Tong Wei, both of whom are at the fourth level of the Fusion God realm. They are the ones who can truly kill me. It will be difficult to kill you, and moreover, killing you will cause me to consume too much of my Qi. If Tang Bao and Tong Wei seize the opportunity, I will be in danger."

"Therefore, I'm not in a hurry to kill you. As for you wanting to kill me? Heh, that's just wishful thinking. Killing you will deplete my inner energy and weaken my strength, but if you fight me, you'll really lose your lives."

"Therefore, the best choice now is for you to leave, and I will pretend I didn't see you. You go your way, and I'll go mine!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, but some hot-tempered people angrily said, "How dare you! How dare you look down on us like this, treating us as nothing? Are you really not afraid of taking our lives?"

Chen Jie looked at the man and said, "You want my life? Heh, if you don't believe me, you can come up here. At worst, I'll just hide in this dragon vein for a while longer and be a coward, but I'll still kill you, you incompetent raging bastard."

"Let me ask you, how much of my Zhurong Divine Fire Palm can you withstand!"

Chen Jie slightly raised his hand, his gaze icy, looking as if he might explode at any moment.

Seeing Chen Jie's expression, everyone fell silent. Damoba looked at Li Siqi and asked, "What does Your Highness think?"

Li Siqi said, "This Chen Jiu Si is a master of deception, and he is adept at using tricks. However, the power of the two palms he just used was indeed astonishing. It would be wrong to say that he has no skills at all, but it would be an exaggeration to praise his strength too much. In my opinion, it would be best to find a scapegoat to test him."

Upon hearing this, Damoba said, "This Chen Jiu Si looks like he's prepared for a fight to the death. Who would dare to be the first to stick their neck out at this point? Don't they value their lives?"

Li Siqi said, "How will we know if we don't try?"

After saying that, Li Siqi pointed at Chen Jie and shouted, "Chen Jiu Si, don't try to scare us. We're not easily frightened. Let me tell you, today, the eight of us working together might not lose to the fox spirit behind you. Besides, I've heard that there are time and number of times a spirit can possess you. I suspect that you're just bluffing. In reality, you're very weak!"

Upon hearing Li Siqi's words, Chen Jie's lips curled up slightly as he said, "Li Siqi, don't try to confuse the issue with your words. Fine, I'll tell you, I'm just bluffing. In reality, I don't have any fox spirit helping me at all. I'm just an ordinary second-stage Fusion God. Any of you can defeat me, okay?"

"Haha, brothers, Chen Jiu Si has finally told the truth. Let's swarm him and chop him into mincemeat."

Li Siqi laughed heartily, while the others frowned slightly upon hearing this, filled with doubt. Who would speak the truth like that?

Chen Jie then said, "Alright, Li Siqi, you keep saying I'm bluffing, but you don't dare to come yourself. You just want to incite others to die. Who can not see through your petty thoughts? Come on, if you really think I'm bluffing, then come up and have a go with me. Let's see if I can kill you within five moves!"

"There's no need to drag others into this for your own benefit. Do you dare to give it a try?"

As Chen explained, he suddenly took a step forward, which made Li Siqi's heart flutter and she couldn't help but take a half step back.

The others all looked at Li Siqi, and one of them said, "Yes, Your Highness, you're making such a big deal out of it, why don't you go and do it? We'll back you up and help you take down this guy. You can take the lion's share of the spoils, hehe..."

These are all old guys who have lived for decades or even centuries. What's the big deal? At this moment, they all pushed Li Siqi to the front and made him the shield. "Go ahead and try. If you succeed, we'll share the spoils. If you fail, we'll scatter. I don't think we'll all be killed."

This is what it means to seek wealth and honor through risk!

Your Highness, please!
At this moment, even the old monsters who had reached the third level of the Fusion God realm gave way to the prince. Li Siqi frowned as he looked at their attitude. These bastards are really cunning. They sent me up to die so they could reap the benefits. I originally wanted to fool them, but how did they end up fooling me?
For a moment, Li Siqi found himself in a dilemma.

Chen's reason for breaking the bet was that Li Siqi would not do anything that would harm himself for the benefit of others.
