Chen Xia Has Gone Crazy with Profits

一个漆黑的身影突然出现,挡住了所有的光线.数以万计的哀嚎灵魂跟随它,瞬间消失了.所有修炼者的目光都集中在这道黑影上.有人先认出了他,震惊地喊道."死星之主!"李阳居然直接召唤了死星之主!这四个字说出的那一刻,七大宗门的掌门人都战战兢兢,不敢抬头看那黑影.七大宗门前任首领的死还历历在目;他们不想追随他们的脚步.帝城半身碎裂,躺在星域中,茫然地凝视着浩瀚的宇宙.他无法理解.当双方都应该势均力敌时,怎么会有这样的差距呢?他咬紧牙关,忍着疼痛,从储物符中掏出一剂强效的丹药,一口吞下.他破碎的半身开始重新连接和重建自己,灵能流经其中,使血肉和骨骼再生,直到他再次完整.邱离已经站在帝城面前,面前举着一盏古老的琉璃灯笼,小心翼翼地观察着那道黑影.感到巨大的压力,他转向贾白,笑了起来."现在你得多付点钱,不然我和帝城都办不了.""就算你多付点钱,我也不想打仗,"帝城在他身后低声说."我付钱,"贾白低声说道,看着黑影,大喝道:"李阳出价十万灵石,我加倍,二十万灵石,只要你帮我就行!价格面议!黑影没有立即回应,低下头,仿佛凝视着虚空.然后他突然抬起头来.弥漫天空的令人窒息的黑雾瞬间消散,露出深邃的星光.黑袍飘动,一个低沉而模糊的声音回答道."你给我灵石,不是现在,也不是双倍."　　Jia Bai's expression froze, not quite understanding.　　Chen Xia had already taken the first step, his presence trembling in the void before vanishing without warning, reappearing right before Jia Bai.　　He extended his hand, covered in black mist, and snapped his finger toward Jia Bai, the mist trailing like a long tail.　　Jia Bai's pupils dilated, flashes of simple black and white colors passing through them. Time seemed to slow down for a moment, allowing him to raise his folding fan to block Chen Xia's snap.　　The fan unfolded, revealing a landscape painting inside.　　This snap struck the landscape painting, covering it in black mist. The fan darkened as the green mountains and clear waters within were overwhelmed by the darkness.　　Before the snap finished, the true force arrived.　　The black mist exploded, and the landscape painting could no longer withstand the pressure. The mountains crumbled, the water dried up, and the aggressive black mist surged toward Jia Bai's palm!　　Jia Bai clenched his teeth, unwilling to face Chen Xia head-on, discarding the folding fan and retreating swiftly.　　The falling fan was caught by a sudden apparition, who then flashed beside Chen Xia, kneeling and presenting the fan.　　"A broken thing, keep it for fanning yourself."　　Chen Xia waved his hand casually.　　The apparition screamed joyfully and disappeared again.　　Jia Bai stared intently at the dark figure, knowing he could not match its power. He frowned and shouted.　　"Is there truly no room for negotiation? The Hundred Souls Sect is wealthier than the Li family, and I am richer than Li Yang!"　　Chen Xia nodded, "Hearing you say that reassures me."　　No one understood what he meant by 'reassures'.　　Jia Bai didn't have time to ask because in the next moment, his divine sense suddenly scattered, seeing only a blurry expanse of deep starlight.　　How...?　　His figure seemed to be...　　Receding!　　Bang!　　He collided with the first meteorite, shattering it, and continued flying backward without slowing down, smashing into more meteorites along the way until finally landing on a river of stars, shaking it violently.　　The surrounding cultivators watched in shock, realizing that the previously arrogant Jia Bai was utterly powerless against the Lord of the Dead Star.　　Qiu Li, watching from above, hesitated, his magical treasure floating in mid-air but not daring to advance.　　Mainly because he dared not.　　Though Jia Bai paid well, it would be pointless if he didn't live to collect it.　　He feared that if he advanced, he would be the one flying backward next.　　Clearly, the two sides were not on the same level.　　The Lord of the Dead Star was undoubtedly a great cultivator beyond the Fifth Heaven Realm of the Heaven Supplementing Stage, capable of manifesting his own small world.　　As Qiu Li hesitated, the blue-robed cultivator suddenly raised his sword, flashing behind Chen Xia. A brilliant sword glow burst forth, aiming for Chen Xia's head.　　Clang!　　The sword intent rippled out.　　But there was no blood, no severed head.　　Instead, two fingers covered in black mist casually pinched the sword blade and gently pushed it down.　　It looked effortless, almost leisurely.　　Yet the sword could not withstand the pressure, breaking at the tip with a mournful cry.　　The blue-robed cultivator, still stunned by the shock, felt a hand grab his head and toss him downward.　　Bang!　　The void exploded.　　The blue-robed cultivator lay bleeding in the cosmos, unable to rise again.　　The entire cosmos fell silent.　　No one dared speak, all eyes fixed on the dark figure.　　This was overwhelming power!　　Chen Xia flicked his hand lightly and said calmly.　　"Compared to helping in times of need, I prefer adding fuel to the fire, because it pays better."　　He glanced at the severely injured Jia Bai and calculated aloud.　　"You are one of the Fourteen Sons of Azure Heaven and a Heaven Supplementing Stage cultivator, so the price should naturally be higher. Let's say 500,000 spirit stones, which shouldn't be excessive, right?"　　Without waiting for Jia Bai's response, Chen Xia turned to the blue-robed cultivator, speaking to himself.　　"With personalized service, let's make it a buy-one-get-one-free deal for this little sword cultivator. Charging you 50,000 spirit stones isn't too much, is it?"　　Indeed, it wasn't too much. Two Heaven Supplementing Stage lives for 550,000 spirit stones was a bargain.　　Chen Xia chuckled.　　"So, together, that makes 550,000 spirit stones. This number isn't good, and since I love rounding numbers, how about we round it up...?"　　"To a nice even million spirit stones. Fair enough, right?"　　Upon hearing this, the onlookers were stunned.　　Wasn't this rounding a bit off?　　But oddly, it seemed reasonable upon closer thought.　　Strange.　　Jia Bai lay injured on the ground, his face bitter. Despite his reluctance, he could only nod.　　Using a million spirit stones to buy two lives, in the end, it was still a good deal for him.　　After all, life is priceless.　　Turning to Qiu Li after addressing Jia Bai, Chen Xia said,　　"Ten thousand spirit stones for you, ten thousand for Emperor City. No problem, right?"　　Qiu Li laughed bitterly, not daring to refuse, and respectfully bowed.　　"Thank you, Senior."　　Emperor City remained silent, head lowered, clearly intimidated.　　Chen Xia looked around and snapped his fingers.　　In an instant, the area within a hundred miles was enveloped in thick black mist, with hundreds of thousands of wandering souls whispering within.　　"Every spectator pays an entrance fee of one thousand spirit stones. No objections, right?"　　Indeed, no one objected because Chen Xia was clearly robbing them. Who dared to disagree?　　The cultivators could only smile and agree.　　Chen Xia turned and saw Li Yue below, beaming with joy. Their eyes met, and she flashed him a bright smile, giving him two thumbs up.　　"Don't smile. You have to pay too."　　Chen Xia said calmly.　　Li Yue's radiant smile froze.　　Fairness was indeed paramount.
