457: Chapter 457 The entire audience's CPUs are fried! How can he be so happy even after being threatened?

The entire square fell into a dead silence so profound that one could clearly hear their own heartbeat.

Everyone looked as if they had been struck by the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, frozen in place and charred inside and out.

They stared wide-eyed and horrified at Su Chen, who truly intended to command the Dragon Lizard King to turn around and leave.

Their minds were completely scrambled.

A scammy influencer tourist trap?

Even a dog wouldn't go?

What... what kind of nonsense is this guy talking?!

That is the Myriad Treasures Heavenly Palace left behind by an Ancient Emperor! It's a supreme Opportunity that countless people dream of!

How did it become so worthless in his mouth?!

How on earth is this guy's brain wired?!

Gu He's face, which was already full of shock, turned the color of pig liver at this moment.

He felt like a simp who had carefully prepared countless sweet words to pursue his beloved goddess.

In the end, the goddess didn't even bother to look at him, but instead slapped him across the face and called him a "dead pervert."

That extreme shame and bewilderment almost caused his Dao Heart to collapse on the spot!

“Fellow Daoist Su! Please wait!”

Seeing that Su Chen was really leaving, Gu He finally grew anxious!

With a flash of his body, he instantly blocked the front of the Dragon Lizard King, his face filled with urgency.

“Fellow Daoist Su! You cannot leave!”

“This Myriad Treasures Heavenly Palace is a massive Opportunity rarely seen in tens of thousands of years on the Ascension Ancient Road! If you miss it like this, you will definitely regret it in the future!”

Gu He tried to persuade him with earnest words.

The group of prodigies behind him also snapped out of it and swarmed forward, tightly blocking the path of Su Chen's group.

Their faces were similarly filled with anxiety and confusion.

“Yes! Fellow Daoist Su! Please reconsider!”

“This is the Myriad Treasures Heavenly Palace! Legend has it that there are even Emperor Weapons inside!”

“If you leave, none of us will be able to enter!”

“Fellow Daoist Su, you can't be so selfish!”

The crowd chirped in with their persuasions.

At first, their tone was still polite.

But as they continued, the flavor changed completely.

Someone, it was unclear who, started it first.

“Fellow Daoist Su, as a figure on the Prodigy Rank, you should set an example for us! How can you ignore everyone's Opportunity for the sake of your own personal interests?”

“Exactly! With great power comes great responsibility! Since you have the ability to open this door, you should serve everyone!”

“That's right! This is no longer just about you! This is a major matter concerning the future of all of us!”

Moral kidnapping!

Blatant moral kidnapping!

Listening to the increasingly ridiculous remarks in his ears, Su Chen's brows furrowed tightly.

[Holy crap, are these people sick?]

[Am I even close with you guys? Why on earth should I serve you?]

[‘With great power comes great responsibility’? Why don't you go to Queens, New York, and find that guy named Parker?]

[Truly a bunch of lunatics.]

Su Chen complained wildly in his heart, and the impatience on his face became increasingly obvious.

“Move.”

Su Chen spat out those two words indifferently.

Though the voice wasn't loud, it carried an icy tone that left no room for negotiation.

However, these prodigies, who had already been blinded by the legendary treasure, didn't realize that danger was descending at all.

Seeing that the soft approach didn't work, they finally began to use force.

A burly Demon Race Prodigy, exuding a tyrannical Aura, was the first to step forward.

He stared fixedly at Su Chen, his blood-red eyes filled with undisguised threats.

“Kid! I don't care if your name is Su Chen or Li Chen!”

“Today, you'll open this door whether you want to or not!”

The moment his voice fell, a terrifying pressure at the Quasi-Emperor level erupted!

It ruthlessly crushed toward Su Chen!

“That's right! For the sake of everyone's Opportunity, we can only inconvenience your wallet today!”

Another Prodigy from a Great Realm stepped forward!

From his body, an equally powerful Aura erupted!

Then, a third, a fourth...

A total of seven or eight Quasi-Emperor level experts stepped forward at the same time!

They completely surrounded Su Chen's group!

Dozens of terrifying Auras filled with killing intent instantly locked onto Su Chen!

The smell of gunpowder in the scene was instantly pulled to the max!

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the people behind Su Chen all changed!

“Presumptuous!”

Jian Buping was the first to lose his patience!

He gave a cold snort, and the [Emperor Weapon · starfall sword] in his hand instantly unsheathed half an inch!

“Clang—!”

A clear sword cry echoed through the square! A terrifying Sword Intent that seemed as if it would tear this world apart soared into the sky!

“amitabha!”

The monk Monk Jiese also folded his hands, but in the next second, he suddenly rolled up his sleeves, revealing a body of lean, muscular flesh filled with explosive power!

His eyes, which should have been compassionate, now became full of Evil Qi!

“Benefactors, it seems your demonic barriers are quite deep.”

“Since that's the case, let this monk help you with a physical transcendence!”

Even Qian Duoduo, who always valued peace, silently pulled out a thick stack of Explosive Talismans from his Storage Ring that exuded terrifying energy fluctuations.

His fat face was full of heartache over the cost, but his eyes were firmer than ever!

Daring to threaten his boss? That was threatening his wallet!

This was something he absolutely could not tolerate!

A battle sufficient to shake the entire Ascension Ancient Road was on the verge of breaking out!

However.

Right as things were at a breaking point.

Su Chen, who had been sitting on his throne from start to finish like an outsider,

Slowly raised his hand.

He stopped his teammates behind him who were already prepared to act.

He looked at the aggressive and overbearing Quasi-Emperor prodigies before him; not only was there no trace of tension or anger on his face,

But he even revealed a fox-like, cunning smile.
