571: Then you call it and see if it responds.
In the night.
Wang Chen’s chuckle immediately enraged the two Gold Diggers who had jumped out.
“Damn it, what are you laughing at, kid?”
The triangular-eyed man looked at Wang Chen with a cold expression, one hand already on the dagger at his waist.
“If you don’t hand over my stuff, I’ll feed you to the monsters today!”
He growled, a blatant killing intent emanating from him.
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Wang Chen’s expression became even more playful.
“You said it’s yours. Then call out to it and see if it answers.”
“If it answers, I’ll give it to you.”
Wang Chen said to the two Gold Diggers in a flat tone.
“This…”
Hearing this, the Gold Digger behind the triangular-eyed man paused, then said with some confusion:
“That armor is just a magic item. How could it answer if you call it?”
“Are you stupid?”
The triangular-eyed man slapped his companion on the head:
“How could a magic item understand human speech? This kid is clearly playing us!”
As he spoke, his killing intent intensified, and his gaze coldly locked onto Wang Chen.
“Kid, since you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Before he finished speaking, the triangular-eyed man directly drew the dagger from his waist and agilely rushed towards Wang Chen.
He was very fast, and his movements made no sound. In a blink of an eye, he was in front of Wang Chen, and the dagger in his hand swept directly towards Wang Chen’s neck.
As he attacked, the triangular-eyed man’s expression was vicious, and the corners of his mouth curved up, as if he had already envisioned the scene of this unappreciative kid having his throat slit by his single strike.
However…
Although he was fast, in Wang Chen’s eyes, he was incredibly slow, practically no different from a snail.
“Aren’t you a bit too confident?”
Wang Chen calmly shook his head, shifting his foot back, effortlessly dodging the triangular-eyed man’s throat-slitting attack.
“What?!”
“He actually dodged?!”
His attack missed, and the triangular-eyed man paused, a look of disbelief in his eyes.
He was a sixth-ranker. How could a fifth-ranker react when he suddenly attacked?
Could this kid have been hiding his strength all along?
As the triangular-eyed man pondered with uncertainty, his vision suddenly blurred.
“You dare to have a Divided Soul during a fight? Your purity needs improvement!”
As the playful voice sounded, Wang Chen, who had retreated to a distance, appeared before him at some unknown point.
“Not good!”
The triangular-eyed man was startled and instinctively wanted to retreat rapidly.
However, it was too late!
Just as his legs were about to exert force, a plain punch slammed into his chest.
With a bang!
The next second, the triangular-eyed man’s body stiffened in place.
His chest was directly pierced by a single punch.
“Pfft!”
Blood continuously gushed from his mouth, his expression was incredibly horrified, and his eyes stared at the opposite side with disbelief.
“You…”
The triangular-eyed man opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but as soon as he opened it, his body softly collapsed to the ground.
Finally, he twitched weakly a few times and then lost his breath.
“Hmm!”
“The power control of this punch is good; it didn’t send him flying.”
Wang Chen shook the blood off his gauntlet and nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he turned to look at the other side.
Not far away, the triangular-eyed man’s companion was watching this scene with a face full of terror, trembling all over.
Instant kill!
His big brother was actually instantly killed by a fifth-rank kid with one punch!
And judging by the other party’s demeanor, it was as easy as killing a chicken.
“How is this possible?”
The Gold Digger trembled, his expression filled with extreme fear.
“Don’t come over here.”
At this moment, he suddenly felt a cold gaze fall upon him.
“I… I’m very strong.”
Meeting Wang Chen’s cold gaze, the Gold Digger’s body involuntarily trembled a few times, and he tried to utter some harsh words with a fierce but inwardly timid tone, but after only one sentence, his legs gave out and he fell to the ground.
“Sir!”
“It was all his idea, I was forced.”
“Sir, you are magnanimous, please spare my dog life…”
In his panic, the Gold Digger began to beg frantically for mercy.
But before he could finish, Wang Chen directly interrupted him.
“Shut your mouth, I ask and you answer, understand?”
“Hmm!”
The Gold Digger nodded frantically, looking at Wang Chen piteously.
“Don’t put on that act, you were very arrogant just now!”
Seeing this, Wang Chen snorted coldly, then asked directly:
“The Hanfeng City Ruins at night are not peaceful. How dare you two sixth-rankers come in? Did you eat the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, or is there something unusual happening in the Hanfeng City Ruins?”
“Sir.”
Hearing Wang Chen’s words, the Gold Digger, who was already scared witless, spilled everything he knew without even thinking.
“The Holy Light Church attacked Coldwind City during the day, wanting to flatten the monsters in the Hanfeng City Ruins and find the Divine Artifact wielded by the Mosiliwake Family.”
“We came in tonight hoping to try our luck and see if we could find that Divine Artifact.”
“…”
After listening to the Gold Digger’s narration, Wang Chen couldn’t help but frown.
Divine Artifact?
Holy Light Church?
He had been in the Hanfeng City Ruins area during the day and hadn’t seen anyone from the Holy Light Church appear at all.
“These guys, could they have mistaken the commotion I caused during the day for the Holy Light Church’s actions?”
He pondered, and soon came up with a guess that made him feel a bit helpless.
And Wang Chen had a strong hunch that this guess was correct.
However, he shook his head, casting the matter aside, then looked at the Gold Digger:
“What’s the situation with the Divine Artifact? Tell me in detail.”
“Sir, you don’t know?”
Hearing Wang Chen’s words, the Gold Digger was somewhat surprised, but after being swept by Wang Chen’s cold gaze, he quickly said ingratiatingly:
“Coldwind City was once the territory of the Mosiliwake Family, their base camp.”
“The people of this Family are divine descendants; their Bloodline comes from the North Wind God who fell ten thousand years ago. For these ten thousand years, they have always wielded the North Wind God’s Divine Artifact.”
“When the dark turmoil descended, Coldwind City was destroyed by demonic creatures, and the Mosiliwake Family and all the common people in the city were massacred by the demonic creatures. The Divine Artifact has been missing ever since.”
“During the day, powerhouses from the Holy Light Church suddenly appeared in Coldwind City and clashed with the Undead Legion. Everyone speculates that the Holy Light Church must have received definite news that the Divine Artifact was in Coldwind City.”
The Gold Digger spoke quickly, rapidly recounting everything he knew.
After speaking, he cautiously looked at Wang Chen:
“Sir, I’ve told you everything I know. Can I leave now?”
“Don’t rush, I haven’t finished asking yet.”
Wang Chen smiled, his eyes full of playfulness.
