Chapter 928: The Silver King's "Gift"

The Silver King's "Gift"

"When you betrayed the Fire-Stealers, and why you betrayed them, I'm not interested at all..." The Silver King calmly walked past Bai Ye.

"To me, you are just a white mouse running around in the corner. You're somewhat of an eyesore, but I couldn't be bothered to deal with you personally, so I sent Mo Lian to catch you... Unfortunately, he himself is also a piece of trash. Even with my hat, he still lost to you..."

"The Fire-Stealers are no longer what they used to be. Whether it's you or Mo Lian, neither holds much value to me..."

"If you think I came specifically for you this time, you're giving yourself far too much credit."

Thud—

Bai Ye's body fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and sand.

"Senior Bai Ye?!!!" Seeing this scene, the pupils of Chen Ling's group of four abruptly contracted.

Seeing this, blood vessels instantly surfaced in Jian Changsheng's eyes. One must know that Bai Ye was the Dusk Society senior who had accompanied them from the very beginning. Coming all the way from the Aurora Domain, without Bai Ye, they wouldn't have made it to this day...

The next moment, it was as if his chest was missing something. As if his entire person had been hollowed out, he pitched forward and fell to the ground.

A second heart appeared in the Silver King's palm.

"Reckless young people..." The Silver King spoke unhurriedly. He walked past the fallen Bai Ye and Jian Changsheng like he was strolling along the banks of the River Thames.

"Their potential is quite good. Unfortunately, their growth is too slow..."

As the Silver King took his third step, Sun Bumian, who was beside Chen Ling, let out a muffled groan. Traces of fresh blood seeped from the corners of his mouth. He fell heavily to the ground headfirst. His small Round Sunglasses hit the hard rock surface, covering them with cracks.

Facing a Demigod of the Path of the Thief, the current Sixes had absolutely no ability to resist. They were like fish on a chopping block, their lives and deaths entirely up to the Silver King's whim.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaohua forcefully shoved Chen Ling backward, his expression more serious than ever before.

"You run!"

The next moment, he charged toward the Silver King without hesitation.

Bandages fell from Jiang Xiaohua's body one after another. His heavy body left deep grooves on the ground. Bare-chested, it was as if he wanted to embrace the Silver King!

A faint light flashed past the Silver King's fingertips, but no new heart appeared. He couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation of surprise...

The white-haired figure before him not only had no heart, but didn't even have any internal organs within his body.

Just as Jiang Xiaohua's body was about to touch him, the Silver King raised his eyebrows slightly and casually grabbed at Jiang Xiaohua from a distance.

Immediately after, the head of the leaping Jiang Xiaohua was tossed high into the air. At the same time, his arms and legs also separated from his torso. Like a puzzle scattered in mid-air, they rolled messily onto the ground piece by piece...

Woo, woo—

The sobbing cold wind swept across the earth. The Great Crimson Theatrical Robe fluttered silently. Chen Ling looked at the purgatory-like tragedy before him, his mind already completely blank.

The Silver King stepped over the dismembered Jiang Xiaohua, continuing forward, walking straight toward Chen Ling...

Without any warning,

Gurgling fresh blood flowed from Chen Ling's seven orifices.

Clearly, only an instant had passed, yet Chen Ling's face was as pale as paper. This wasn't caused by the Silver King, but in the previous instant, Chen Ling used all his strength to activate his Domain.

After [Cut] was activated, Chen Ling tried to alter the predetermined Script. But even using all his strength, at most, he only managed to make Bai Ye say half a sentence more, delay Jian Changsheng's heart from being ripped out by half a second, and make Jiang Xiaohua's posture a bit more comfortable when he was dismembered...

In front of a Silver King, his power was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; it couldn't change anything.

The Silver King stopped in front of Chen Ling. His originally calm expression revealed a smile... Just like when he conversed with Ying Fu earlier, it was polite, elegant, and full of goodwill.

"Please forgive my presumptuous intrusion, Mister Chen."

The Silver King produced a glass of red wine from who knows where and gently clinked it against the wine glass in Chen Ling's hand. "But this time, I come bearing sincerity and genuine intent to invite you to cooperate..."

The three hearts in the Silver King's hand beat silently.

Chen Ling looked at the people on the ground. After a full few seconds, he squeezed out two words:

"...Cooperate??"

"Yes. Your great name has already spread throughout the Human Domains." The Silver King smiled. "Mister Chen carries a World-Ending Calamity on you. This is the root cause of your current predicament... The Human Domains want to kill you, and you have nowhere to go. Joining the Dusk Society temporarily is understandable...

But now, you have a better choice."

"What choice?"

"Leave the Dusk Society and join the Fire-Stealers."

Chen Ling stared straight into his eyes, his gaze chilling as if from the netherworld.

"Although the Dusk Society is not weak, in the end, it's just a scattering of loose sand... The Red King doesn't concern himself with worldly affairs, and the members are On The Run in various Realms, no different from rats crossing the street.

But the current Fire-Stealers are no longer the same as before. We now grasp ultimate resources and power. It won't be long before we can sweep across the Human Domains... Since that's the case, why not abandon the darkness and join the light? We'll join forces, make good use of the World-Ending power within you, and trample this world beneath our feet?"

"It sounds like you just want a weapon that can activate 'World-Ending' at any time." Chen Ling sneered. "Is this cooperation, or exploitation?"

"Mister Chen's understanding is too pessimistic." The Silver King smiled,

"Since everyone's goals are the same, how can we not be partners?"

"Oh." Chen Ling asked calmly in return, "And what if I refuse?"

"If Mister Chen refuses, then I can only use some other methods." The Silver King swirled the red wine glass in his hand. "Mister Chen's formidable aspect lies in that thing inside your body... As for whether Mister Chen is conscious when activating that thing, it doesn't seem to matter that much?"

Chen Ling's expression instantly became incredibly ugly.

The Silver King's negotiation tactics facing Chen Ling were completely different from when facing Ying Fu. Ying Fu's value lay in the 'Emperor' himself. Other than him, no one could unleash the suppressive power of this Divine Path. But Chen Ling's value lay in 'Mockery', and the Silver King, who possessed the ability to steal sanity, could entirely bypass Chen Ling's will and forcefully stimulate this power.

On this point, Chen Ling's bargaining chips were almost zero...

"Mister Chen doesn't need to worry. I just proposed a possibility." The Silver King continued to maintain his smile. Changing the subject, he spoke relaxed,

"Oh right... I heard Mister Chen has no heart. If Mister Chen is willing to join, I can give Mister Chen a few..."

The Silver King raised his hand. Three hearts beat faintly in front of Chen Ling, as if they would stop completely very soon.

"Does Mister Chen like this gift?"
