Chapter 688: Chapter 708: What Do You Have to Negotiate With Me? _1

Situ Xiu’s face changed abruptly: "You don’t keep your word?"

The Bearded Man, Chen Yidao, burst into laughter. "How could you say that? When I say I’ll kill your entire family, I’ll make sure not to leave a single person alive. Our deal was two million spirit stones in exchange for the hostages. Not only did I let the hostages go, but I also gave them a ship. Aren’t I generous? The first deal has been successfully completed. Now let’s talk about the second deal."

Situ Xiu replied coldly: "What do you propose?"

Chen Yidao grinned and said, "The Situ Family’s business is quite big. You are the young master of the Situ Family. I believe you should be worth quite a bit. Now we need to discuss how many spirit stones you are worth."

Situ Xiu answered solemnly, "I only have two million spirit stones with me, no more."

Chen Yidao spoke in a leisurely manner, "Don’t worry. If you don’t have any money on you, there’s always your family’s money. Given your status as the young master of the Situ Family, I think 20 million spirit stones wouldn’t be unreasonable. Rest assured, it will be simple this time. I’ll send a little brother to the Situ Family to collect the spirit stones. Once he gets the spirit stones and returns safely, you can go home. If he doesn’t, I will return you piece by piece."

Situ Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Shameless!"

Chen Yidao laughed, "We are Space Pirates, do you expect us to be reasonable? You naively came to us, so I have to take advantage of the situation. If I don’t profit from this, wouldn’t I be an idiot?"

All the surrounding space pirates laughed, feeling triumphant. After all, before this, they had to perform scouting, tracking, stealing, and kidnapping just to earn four to five million spirit stones. Divided among the group, each person received only about two hundred thousand spirit stones. Now Situ Xiu came to their doorsteps, so why wouldn’t they be elated about the 20 million spirit stones they were about to receive?

How could they not be happy to obtain over a million spirit stones for free?

This was a huge fortune!

Most of them were at Golden Core Stage, but it was not easy for them to earn millions of spirit stones.

Lin Chen sold a large pile of Ling Medicine for about a million spirit stones, but normally, it would be impossible to find such a large amount of Ling Medicine in the Secret Realm or the Barren Wilderness. Finding a few plants would already be considered good luck.

Hadn’t Liu Ruqing, who was in the Late Nascent Soul stage, only managed to come up with a few hundred thousand spirit stones?

It was really hard to earn spirit stones!

Lin Chen, who had been quietly observing, finally spoke up. "It’s better to be honest. You’ve already earned several million spirit stones. Why be so greedy?"

Chen Yidao’s gaze fell on Lin Chen and he laughed, "You’re accompanying him, so you must have some strength, probably Golden Core Stage, right? But what’s so great about that? I have seven or eight Golden Core cultivators here. Just surrender willingly. As long as the Situ Family provides enough spirit stones, we will release you. Otherwise, I don’t mind killing you and leaving."

Lin Chen suddenly smiled, "So there’s no room for negotiation?"

Chen Yidao scoffed, "Negotiate? You don’t have the qualifications. You’re all just meat on my chopping board. What do you have to negotiate with me?"

Lin Chen pointed his chin towards the group behind them, "Do you think we would walk in here without any preparations? Look, who is that?"

All the space pirates’ faces changed as they instinctively looked back, since Lin Chen’s words made sense.

There was nothing behind them. At the same time, in front of them, spiritual energy surged violently.

It was a trap!

When the pirates turned back, they saw Lin Chen holding an ancient bronze mirror in his hand. An ice storm, resembling a torrent of cold air, poured out from the mirror, spreading rapidly towards the pirates.

At this moment, Mei Nu emerged from Lin Chen’s waist pouch and floated to the ground. As soon as her tiny roots touched the ground, they grew rapidly, burrowing deep into the earth. The vines above ground also extended at a visible speed.

Some of the faster-acting space pirates immediately activated their defensive magical artifacts. Spiritual energy shields enveloped their bodies. Those who reacted more slowly were instantly engulfed by the ice storm.

In an instant, these men became frozen. Their bodies went into shock, losing warmth, and they fell into a coma, collapsing like felled trees.

When Su Mubai faced the Snow Dragon Leopard King’s icy breath that day, he was simply brushed on the edge, but he was instantly frozen and knocked unconscious. The Ice Storm unleashed by the Water and Fire Mirror was even more powerful than the Snow Dragon Leopard King’s icy breath. How could these men withstand it?

The space pirates were thrown into chaos.

Chen Yidao’s body lit up with a green protective shield as he hurriedly retreated. He narrowly escaped Lin Chen’s attack, but his body was instantly covered in frost.

Chen Yidao looked back to see his men had been defeated, and his pupils shrunk.

With just one strike, Lin Chen had taken down six or seven of his men, including two at the Golden Core Stage!

What a terrifying magical treasure!

Chen Yidao’s gaze fell on the mirror in Lin Chen’s hand, and suddenly, his eyes widened. He was first stunned, then burst into laughter. "The Water and Fire Mirror! Haha, I am really lucky today!"
