The Black Phoenix has arrived?
Luo Chen frowned, then thought for a second, turned around and left directly. After all, the Venerable Nanchan was now one of his people, Luo Wuji. He could not simply ignore it.
Moreover, Luo Chen did not explain anything, nor did he say anything to anyone. He just turned and left in front of everyone. Not a single word.
It was only after Luo Chen had already left that everyone reacted in stunned silence.
After a moment of quiet, Zhang Yang looked in the direction Luo Chen had left and sneered coldly.
“Scared?”
“Hahaha, I told you he would definitely chicken out!” Zhang Yang burst into unrestrained laughter.
Tang Long and Yuan Na beside him also showed mocking expressions.
“Fighting with me, Chen Jie?”
“Can you afford to play?” Chen Jie first let out a cold laugh, then turned his gaze to the crowd.
“Everyone saw that?”
“This is a coward!”
“Hmph, competing with me, Chen Jie, to throw money around?”
“Overestimating yourself!” Chen Jie finally turned his gaze to Zi Yuan.
Zi Yuan, however, frowned slightly and ignored Chen Jie’s smug gaze.
Although she found it strange that Luo Chen had left so suddenly, she would never think that Luo Chen had left because he was scared.
But the others present did not think the same way.
Because just now, it was obvious that when Chen Jie told Luo Chen to continue, Luo Chen answered a phone call and left.
Not early, not late, but right at that moment? This was definitely because Luo Chen could not afford to keep going, so he used the phone call as an excuse to leave.
The mockery on Yuan Na and Zhang Yang’s faces grew thicker, and contempt shone in their eyes. Just now, how arrogantly had Luo Chen behaved?
At the annual meeting, he could be said to have stolen the show, even daring to challenge Chen Jie.
But weren’t you, Luo Chen, so arrogant? When asked to continue throwing money, you couldn’t afford it?
Weren’t you, Luo Chen, challenging me, the son of the richest man? Why didn’t you fight to the bitter end?
“Zi Yuan, between him and me, who is more outstanding? I think today has already proven that.”
“To be honest, if we are talking about economic strength, he is not even fit to carry my shoes!” Chen Jie turned his gaze to Zi Yuan, the sense of superiority on his face growing stronger.
As for the one hundred million he had just thrown out, although he was feeling a bit of pain now, at least today he had thoroughly trampled on Luo Chen.
Seeing Luo Chen slink away so disgracefully after being stepped on by Chen Jie, Zhang Yang and the others stepped forward with animated expressions.
“Competing with Young Master Chen for money in Nanling?”
“Even a hundred of him couldn’t compare to you, Young Master Chen!”
“Zi Yuan, you should keep your distance from him in the future. He doesn’t have the strength but insists on putting on airs. Now he’s been slapped in the face, right?” Yuan Na stepped forward to mock as well.
As for those who had come to watch the spectacle, they also shook their heads one after another.
“Just now at the annual meeting, he stole the show and made us look at him with new eyes. I didn’t expect that everything just now was actually an act.” A few girls from other companies showed contempt on their faces. Just now, they had even been moved by Luo Chen because of what happened at the annual meeting.
They had even been planning how to approach Luo Chen later.
But they hadn’t expected Luo Chen to be such a “silver spear with a wax tip”!
“Exactly, I really thought he had some strength. Sigh, I didn’t expect it was all just an act!” A voice of ridicule and sarcasm rang out.
The expressions on Zhang Yang and the others’ faces grew more and more gleeful. If Luo Chen returned to the company now, he would probably have quite a few people pointing fingers behind his back from now on.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Luo Chen had arrived directly at the place where the Nanling Canal met the sea.
By now, the sky was already very dark. The bright moonlight spilled down, and waves surged on the sea.
On the sea, the Venerable Nanchan was being trampled underfoot by a woman holding a war spear, looking utterly wretched. That woman had long golden hair reaching to her waist, and her golden armor gleamed brilliantly in the moonlight, tightly wrapping around her tall and sexy figure.
That war spear was, of course, the divine artifact of the Amazon Goddess clan, the Ares Spear. It had previously been kept by Luo Chen’s side, placed in the hotel where Luo Chen was staying in Nanling.
After all, Luo Chen had long guessed that the Black Phoenix would come looking for him because of the Ares Spear.
It looked like this Black Phoenix had already been to the hotel, captured the Venerable Nanchan, and also gotten her hands on the Ares Spear.
When the Venerable Nanchan saw Luo Chen arrive, the heart that had been hanging in suspense finally relaxed a little.
This Black Phoenix’s combat power was too heaven-defying, simply unimaginable. The Venerable Nanchan was, after all, an eighth-level Otherworlder, but in the hands of this Black Phoenix, he basically had no room to fight back at all.
“Hand over the crystal skull, or die!” The Black Phoenix’s face was like frost, and the war spear in her hand trembled slightly, as if she might strike at any moment.
“Not the true body?” Luo Chen glanced at the Black Phoenix in surprise. Although her aura was now countless times stronger than in Fushan, Luo Chen could still sense that this time, it was still not the Black Phoenix’s true body that had come!
“Someone like you, Luo Wuji, is not worthy of making my true body make a trip!” “This Amazon Valkyrie’s body is more than enough to crush you!” The Black Phoenix laughed arrogantly, her surging Otherworldly energy causing the entire sea to begin trembling.
Her true body and several super international giants were trapped in a secret realm of the Horror Game.
So this time, she had once again possessed an Amazon Valkyrie’s body to come to Huaxia. After all, the Ares Spear was the divine artifact of the Amazon clan, and Luo Chen still had the crystal skull in his hands. No matter what, she had to make this trip!
But just as she said, in her eyes, Luo Chen was not qualified enough to make her true body come!
“I’m not worthy?” Luo Chen also laughed coldly.
“Of course you are not worthy. Who do you think I, the Black Phoenix, am?” The Black Phoenix was overbearing, killing intent fully displayed in her eyes.
She was the world-renowned Black Phoenix. How many experts had she killed? Her methods were godlike, almost invincible!
“When I slaughtered Odo, you, Luo Wuji, didn’t even know where you were!” The Black Phoenix snorted coldly.
And the Venerable Nanchan’s entire body trembled violently, looking at the Black Phoenix with a face full of horror. It was really the Black Phoenix who did it?
That was a world-shaking major case! The ancient city of Odo in Finland, with a local population of no less than ten million?
But it was said to have been bloodily purged overnight. That incident decades ago had shaken the entire international community. At the time, people even thought a nuclear war had broken out.
The entire ancient city of Odo was in ruins back then, and even the Otherworld King had personally gone there.
After all, that was the massacre of a large city with tens of millions of people! It was a massacre worthy of being recorded in history!
But in the end, it was said to have been dropped without further action. Such a terrifying massacre, and it was just dropped like that?
Because there had always been rumors that it was the Black Phoenix who did it, but it had never been confirmed. He hadn’t expected it to really be her!
No wonder so many countries feared the Black Phoenix!
“Oh?”
“Then who do you think I, Luo Wuji, am?” Luo Chen looked at the woman before him with great interest.
As for the matter of slaughtering a city, Luo Chen had never heard of it. Even if he had, would he, Luo Wuji, care?
He had once slaughtered a great realm with a population of over ten billion. Would he care about the Black Phoenix’s insignificant city massacre?
“Who are you?” Golden light flowed from the Ares Spear in the Black Phoenix’s hand, and her killing intent soared to the heavens.
“Luo Wuji!”
“You are someone I can kill with just one spear!”
