542: What strength do you have to be worthy of joining forces with me?

A mocking laugh rang out.

Mengduo’s expression instantly turned incredibly ugly.

He immediately stopped, turned his head, and looked to the side.

On the open ground, a man and a woman had appeared.

The man had a pale, thin face like a bamboo pole and wore a luxurious, extraordinary mage robe.

The woman, on the other hand, had a seductive figure, with tight leather armor covering her vital parts, leaving large expanses of fair skin exposed to the air.

The mocking laugh had come from this woman.

Moreover, after landing, she provocatively looked at Mengduo, as if she didn't put him, a Seventh-Order Saint, in her eyes at all.

However, this was normal, as the Aura emanating from both the man and the woman had also reached the Seventh-Order, not at all weaker than Mengduo.

“Afuna!”

“Duolunsi!”

“You two are both like dogs with noses, arriving so quickly.”

Looking at the man and woman, Mengduo’s eyes flickered, and he felt it was incredibly troublesome.

Afuna and Duolunsi were equally renowned among the Seventh-Order Gold Diggers, and they had always been at odds with him.

They had clashed many times in the past over resources.

These two had always been inseparable, causing Mengduo to suffer quite a bit.

“That’s still not as bad as you, having to go all out against a 5th Rank junior. I think you’ve lived all these years in vain.”

“If you ask me, hurry up and get lost. Today’s item is not something you can covet.”

Duolunsi squinted at Mengduo, his tone incredibly disdainful.

Upon hearing this, Mengduo’s face instantly turned red with anger, and his eyes were practically spitting fire as he gnashed his teeth, glaring at Afuna and Duolunsi.

However, he did not argue at this time.

With these two working together, he wouldn’t gain anything, and saying too much would only put him at a disadvantage.

Just right, that masked kid's strength was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface. Let these two try to test the waters; he might even be able to pick up a bargain.

Thinking silently, Mengduo remained silent, merely standing in place and glaring at Afuna and Duolunsi.

And on the other side.

Wang Chen looked at the three people at loggerheads, raised an eyebrow, and showed interest on his face.

These three seemed to have a grudge; if they fought, he could save himself some effort.

However.

Mengduo of the Black Fire Merchant Guild chickened out, which made him a little disappointed.

At this moment.

“Your Excellency is covered by a black robe; may I ask which faction you are from?”

Seeing that he had gained the upper hand in Aura over Mengduo, Duolunsi no longer paid attention to him, turning his head with interest to look at Wang Chen.

“To be able to make Mengduo treat you with such solemnity with 5th Rank strength, you must surely come from an extraordinary background.”

“Why don’t you take off your mask so we can be frank with each other? If we are acquainted, it will save us from harming our harmony.”

He said in a light tone, his hand always on the magic staff at his waist.

“No need.”

“I am just an unknown small fry, and I can’t claim any connection with Your Excellency.”

Wang Chen shook his head indifferently, not believing a single word of Duolunsi’s statement.

These guys were definitely planning to kill and steal treasures; saying this was just a test.

“Oh?”

At this moment, Afuna let out a soft exclamation, her eyes shining as she looked at Wang Chen.

“Your Excellency’s voice sounds very young. To face the three of us with 5th Rank strength without losing composure, you must definitely come from an extraordinary background.”

“It doesn’t matter if you’re unknown now; you’ll surely make a great name for yourself in the future.”

“How about…”

As she spoke, Afuna winked, and said with a charming smile:

“Come with me from now on, and big sister will also be happy to drink with you.”

“Absolutely not necessary.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Chen shook his head, looking at Afuna with a mocking gaze.

“I have no interest in old aunts like you.”

He said unceremoniously.

“You…”

Afuna’s chest heaved with anger, and a chilling killing intent appeared on her face.

“Hahahaha!”

To the side, Mengduo burst into laughter.

“Little brother, what you said is good. This Afuna may look young, but her age is actually similar to this old man’s. Every time I see her flaunting herself, this old man feels so nauseous he wants to vomit.”

He said with a sincere tone:

“How about this, little brother, let’s join forces today and eliminate these two. When the time comes, I’ll take the items on them, and the treasure that caused the anomaly will be yours.”

Seeing Afuna and Duolunsi arrive, Mengduo knew in his heart that he couldn’t monopolize the treasure that caused the anomaly today.

Rather than letting Afuna and Duolunsi take it, it was better to leave it in the hands of this black-clad kid.

Then, after dealing with Afuna and Duolunsi, he could easily snatch it back.

Mengduo felt that Wang Chen would definitely not refuse his proposal.

However.

“No need.”

Wang Chen shook his head without hesitation, saying in a cold tone:

“This thing was originally mine, and besides, what strength do you have to be worthy of joining forces with me?”

As he spoke, Wang Chen glanced at Mengduo with disdain.

He was perfectly clear about the schemes this guy was secretly hatching.

“You…”

Mengduo nearly vomited blood upon hearing this. He never expected that Wang Chen would refuse so decisively, and the reason… was even so arrogant!

I, a dignified Seventh-Order Saint, am not worthy of joining forces with you?

Do you know what you’re saying?

In the entire Huiguang World, a Seventh-Order Saint is also at the top of the strength pyramid, second only to the elusive Demigods and those few Supreme Deities.

No matter where you are, people will look up to you.

You actually said I’m not worthy?!

Mengduo glared fiercely at Wang Chen, the killing intent surging in his eyes, if it could kill, would probably tear Wang Chen to shreds.

“Heeheehee!”

“Mengduo, oh Mengduo, did you just put your warm face on a cold butt?”

“I told you long ago not to come out and about. Isn’t it better to honestly retire in your broken Merchant Guild? Now you’re being despised by a junior!”

Afuna chuckled twice, mockingly glancing at Mengduo, then she looked at Wang Chen:

“Little brother, what you just said was excellent; it made big sister very happy.”

“I won’t hold your previous offense against you. Hand over what you just obtained, and I’ll let you leave safely.”

“That thing is not something you can covet.”

“Are you mistaken about something?”

Wang Chen looked at Afuna with a strange expression, saying unceremoniously:

“If you retreat now, I can indeed let you leave safely.”

“Otherwise, prepare to keep company with those B Vinewood Ox!”

“Arrogant!”

Afuna’s pretty face turned cold, and her eyes, as she looked at Wang Chen, already held icy killing intent.

“Since you’re looking for death, then big sister will grant your wish.”

“Duolunsi, you tie down Mengduo, and I’ll deal with this brat.”

Waving her hand to pull out a rapier, Afuna called out to Duolunsi, then directly moved her long legs and rushed out quickly.

Swish, swish, swish!

The rapier swung, and points of cold light directly enveloped Wang Chen.
