541: Blackfire Mundo

Just as Wang Chen put away the white jade seed and was about to turn and leave, a sound of air being torn apart suddenly rang out.

The next second, a tall, robust old man with white hair and beard appeared in the field.

His pair of narrow eyes scanned the surroundings for a moment, finally landing on Wang Chen.

"Your Excellency, did you see what caused that soaring white light just now?" the old man asked imperiously, with his hands clasped behind his back.

This old man was named Mengduo, a Seventh-Order Saint, extremely famous among the Gold Diggers within the Gods Sigh Mountain area.

At the same time, he was also the Saint behind the Black Fire Merchant Guild, one of the three major forces in Black Fire Town.

"Oh?" Wang Chen glanced at Mengduo and asked in a flat tone, "What if I saw it? What if I didn't?"

He hadn't expected these Gold Diggers to arrive so quickly; he was just about to leave when a Seventh-Order Saint showed up.

And now that one had arrived, there would likely be more to follow.

"If you tell me the information, I can take you into the Black Fire Merchant Guild. With your Fifth-Rank strength, I can give you a position as a chief manager, saving you from risking your life here in the future," Mengduo said indifferently upon hearing this, appearing condescending.

He hadn't even considered that the white jade seed would fall into Wang Chen's hands.

As he had flown over, he had seen the shattered corpses of the B Vinewood Oxen.

The person who could kill these extraordinary Demonic Beasts with Sixth-Rank strength must certainly possess Seventh-Rank strength.

Although this fellow in front of him concealed his appearance, his young voice and the Fifth-Rank Aura on his body couldn't be faked in Mengduo's eyes.

This person was probably a young brat who was very close to this place, saw the anomaly, and ran over to join the fun.

Thinking silently to himself, Mengduo urged, "Boy, tell me quickly what that soaring white light was just now, and who took it?"

On the opposite side, Wang Chen looked at Mengduo with a strange expression, never expecting such a coincidence.

Earlier, in Gods Sigh Mountain, the Gold Digger from the Black Fire Merchant Guild threatened him, saying that the Saint behind them wouldn't let him off.

As a result, only a day had passed, and he had already met the Saint of the Black Fire Merchant Guild.

He didn't know what kind of karmic entanglement brought the two of them together here today.

However, at this moment, he was too lazy to bother with the other party; the Gold Digger had already been killed, so the grudge was settled.

Therefore, Wang Chen shrugged and said casually, "I didn't see it. You should look elsewhere."

After speaking, he turned and intended to leave this troublesome place to avoid encountering other fellows.

"You…" Mengduo's eye twitched with anger, and he was furious.

As the boss behind the Black Fire Merchant Guild, a powerful Seventh-Order Saint, no one had ever dared to disobey him, let alone toy with him like this fellow was doing now.

"Boy, I think you're looking for death!" Mengduo's eyes widened, and he immediately decided to teach this sneaky brat a lesson.

Before his words finished, he took a step forward, clenched his left hand into a fist, and instantly appeared before Wang Chen, his fist smashing down with a fierce wind pressure.

For this punch, Mengduo only used one-tenth of his strength. He didn't want to kill Wang Chen directly, as he still needed to learn the whereabouts of the treasure through him.

However, as a Seventh-Order Saint, even with only one-tenth of his strength, Mengduo was confident he could easily cripple a Fifth-Rank junior.

Seeing Mengduo's fist coming, a cold glint flashed in Wang Chen's eyes.

He originally didn't intend to bother with this fellow, but since the other party provoked him, he wouldn't be polite.

"Heh heh!" Wang Chen sneered, facing Mengduo's attack without dodging, instead swinging his arm and meeting it with a punch.

He didn't hold back any strength with this punch; as soon as his fist shot out, terrifying power ripped through the air, causing a sharp whistling sound.

"Not good." Mengduo, who was preparing to cripple Wang Chen with one punch, couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and a sudden chill rose in his heart.

This Fifth-Rank brat's punch actually gave him an incredibly dangerous feeling.

If he were to confront it, he would likely suffer a great loss.

With his thoughts racing, Mengduo didn't hesitate. He pushed off with his feet, forcibly stopped his momentum, and abruptly retreated backward.

However, although he retreated in time, the speed of the incoming fist was simply too fast. Even though he avoided being hit, the fierce wind pressure around the fist still blew his white hair back.

Rip!

A wound was cut on his forehead, and blood immediately oozed out.

Bang. After landing, Mengduo crushed the ground beneath his feet, looking at Wang Chen with a mixture of shock and anger.

He couldn't understand why this sneaky brat, whose Aura fluctuations were only Fifth-Rank, two major Ranks below his own, could unleash such a powerful attack.

If he hadn't dodged just now, Mengduo felt he would have suffered a significant injury from that punch.

Could it be that...

This brat was the one who killed those B Vinewood Oxen?

Yes.

It must be him.

He hadn't seen anyone else present when he arrived, and the item that caused the anomaly had disappeared, so it must have been taken by this brat.

Immediately, Mengduo circulated his demonic Qi to seal the wound on his forehead, and his heart grew fervent.

"Boy, hand over the treasure you obtained. I'm in a good mood today, so I can spare your life," he said, his narrow eyes fixed on Wang Chen like a venomous snake, his tone incredibly cold.

"Heh heh!" However, upon hearing his words, Wang Chen sneered, the corners of his mouth curving in disdain.

"Old fool, you really don't appreciate kindness."

"I originally didn't want to get too entangled with you, but since you want to die, I don't mind lending you a hand."

Looking at Mengduo with indifferent eyes, Wang Chen was already pondering how to end the battle quickly.

"Boy, how dare you!" Mengduo was furious upon hearing this, no longer suppressing his Aura, which surged towards Wang Chen like a raging tide.

As a well-known and powerful Seventh-Order Saint, Mengduo's Aura was extremely terrifying. The moment it appeared, it compressed the air within a hundred-meter radius to almost solid.

"Today, I want to see what confidence you have, brat, to dare speak such arrogant words to this old man!" Mengduo sneered, gripping a greatsword in his hand.

Although he appeared disdainful, Wang Chen's punch just now still made him somewhat wary.

Now that he was acting, he immediately prepared to use his full strength.

However, just as Mengduo was about to move, two ear-piercing whooshing sounds rang out again.

"Black Fire Saint, you're truly regressing with age. A dignified Seventh-Order Saint, yet you're so serious against a Fifth-Rank junior. I think you should go back to your broken merchant guild and retire, stop coming out and making a fool of yourself." As the two figures landed in the field, mocking voices rang out simultaneously.
