Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 367 - 364: Making a Deal!

In the dead of night, three figures emerged.

The one in the front was Ba Kuo.

Following close behind were his two bodyguards, Hei Jin and Hei Gang.

Seeing this scene, Mei Ruohua stepped forward, drew her sword, and prepared for a fight.

Seeing that a delicate beauty was approaching, Ba Kuo had a lecherous smile on his face, "Beauty, we meet again!"

"If you dare take one more step forward, I’ll kill you!" Mei Ruohua’s tone was icy cold as she shouted sternly.

"Ouch, quite the fiery temperament, but I like it!"

Ba Kuo, confident with his two Master of Cross-training bodyguards, didn’t take Mei Ruohua seriously, seeing her as nothing but a weak girl.

"Youngster from Hua Country, if you know what’s good for you, hand over the Black Stone Ring, as well as this little beauty. Otherwise..."

He said, his face turning fierce and squeezing out a sinister smile at the corners of his mouth.

Li Chen let out a cold laugh, "I hope you can still say the same thing in three seconds!"

Ba Kuo, angered and humiliated, huffed, "It seems you won’t shed tears without seeing the coffin!"

After speaking, he yelled at Hei Jin and Hei Gang on either side, "Teach this guy a lesson. And remember, don’t hurt my little beauty!"

Hei Jin and Hei Gang exchanged glances and started to crack their joints, sounding like fireworks popping loudly.

"Cross this line and die!"

Mei Ruohua swung her sword and drew a straight line on the ground.

However, Hei Jin and Hei Gang treated the line as a joke, continuing to advance forward like a Northeast Bear blundering around.

"Girl, I’m going to cross the line now, let’s see how you’ll make me die!"

As they spoke, they even raised their foot theatrically, preparing to step over the line.

"Hmph, courting death!"

Mei Ruohua snorted coldly, her sword flashing out of its sheath in a dazzling arc, slashing forth.

Her sword strike was incredibly fast and came from a tricky angle, almost impossible to defend against.

The two black bodyguards, Hei Jin and Hei Gang, sensed trouble and instinctively stepped back.

But it was too late!

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Two bloody legs, cut as easily as if butchered by a skilled chef, came slashing through.

"Ahh, my leg, my leg!"

Hei Jin and Hei Gang, one leg severed each, lost their balance and fell to the ground hard. Clutching their severed limbs, they writhed in pain, screaming hysterically.

Mei Ruohua was very satisfied with her strike and looked at Li Chen with eyes seeking approval.

Li Chen could clearly see her intent and commented with a light smile, "Not bad, the speed and accuracy were very well controlled, but the force could still use some improvement!"

Hearing Li Chen’s comments, Mei Ruohua nodded again and again, "I’ll take note next time!"

Li Chen and Mei Ruohua talked and laughed freely, but Ba Kuo on the other side was scared witless, his face as pale as death.

"Young Master Ba, what do you think of this sword move?"

Now that Ba Kuo saw his strongest support crippled by a single sword strike, he didn’t dare to speak, shaking all over, his legs trembling like chaff.

"I, I, my father is Basha, one of the three great warlords of the black forest, you can’t kill me, you can’t kill me..."

Li Chen laughed coldly and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. I just want to make a deal with you!"

Ba Kuo stammered, "What kind of deal?"

Li Chen held up three fingers, "Three hundred million, for your life!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s outrageous demand for three hundred million, Ba Kuo was instantly taken aback.

"Ah, three hundred million, I don’t have that much on me..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a dazzling Sword Shadow had already executed a Sky Breaking Slash.

Ba Kuo only felt a sharp pain in his left ear, and when he turned to look, he saw his bloody ear had been severed.

With a grin, Li Chen said to him: "Now, you should have three hundred million on you, right?"

At this point, where would Ba Kuo dare to utter a word of denial? He nodded like pecking chicken: "Yes, yes, yes!"

While speaking, he shakily handed over a Citibank platinum card he had on him.

Li Chen took the platinum card and asked, "Are you sure there’s three hundred million in here, right?"

Ba Kuo nodded incessantly, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, this is the money my dad gave me for auctioning Magic Artifacts, it’s all in there!"

Seeing that he didn’t appear to be lying, Li Chen gave him a faint smile and said, "The most important thing between people is trust. This is our first transaction, and I trust you. Hope our next collaboration will be just as pleasant!"

Upon hearing that there would be a next time, Ba Kuo’s face turned deathly pale. Damn it, this kind of a deal and you still freaking want a pleasant collaboration? Aren’t you bullying people too much?

"The deal is done, now you can take your men and scram!"

Having said that, Li Chen waved his hand dismissively as if shooing flies, ushering Ba Kuo and his men away.

Ba Kuo, feeling as if he had been granted amnesty, took off running.

"Hold on, you forgot your ear!"

Before Li Chen’s words had finished, the bloody ear traced a perfect arc, landing in Ba Kuo’s hand.

Holding his bloody ear in his hand, Ba Kuo was so terrified that he burst into tears with a "wah."

"Put the card away!" Li Chen casually handed the Citibank platinum card to Mei Ruohua.

Seeing how easily they had acquired three hundred million, Mei Ruohua was somewhat in disbelief for a moment. She admired Li Chen’s methods to the point of unquestioning reverence.

All of a sudden, she remembered the first time she met Li Chen at Yutan Lake, when she, along with Ximen Yuu’s uncle and nephew, even plotted to trick them, and she shivered uncontrollably.

She was thankful for Li Chen’s magnanimity; otherwise, had it been anyone else, she feared that she might have already met her demise, or even worse, become a plaything for others as a female slave.

"What’s wrong?" Li Chen keenly captured the change in Mei Ruohua’s expression and asked nonchalantly.

"Nothing, nothing!" Startled, Mei Ruohua shook her head vigorously.

Li Chen smiled faintly at Mei Ruohua and said, "Let’s go. We shouldn’t linger here. We need to travel through the night to the Jade Mine!"

"Okay!"

Looking at Li Chen’s warm and gentle smile, Mei Ruohua secretly made a vow to follow Li Chen faithfully for life, to serve him until death.

Whether he wanted her life or her body, she would offer it without hesitation.

In short, whatever Li Chen wanted her to do, she was willing.

Li Chen paid no attention to Mei Ruohua’s thoughts and sat in the passenger seat, closing his eyes for a rest.

The hummer set off again, speeding through the lush forest towards the largest Jade Mine in the black forest.

At two o’clock at midnight, the vehicle entered a narrow valley, startling a flock of crows into the sky.

Sleeping soundly, Li Chen suddenly opened his eyes and slammed on the brakes.

The tires screeched as they skidded for five or six meters before coming to a stop.

Before the vehicle had fully stabilized, they heard the rumble of falling boulders from ahead.

Witnessing the scene, Mei Ruohua felt a sudden shock, patting her chest, "That was close, nearly buried by the boulders!"

Li Chen glanced at the dark, oppressive mountainsides and called out loudly, "Friends, since you’ve come, why not show yourselves?"
