"Don’t try to talk your way out of this. Don’t think for a moment that I’m unaware. Before we entered, you had already stashed all the precious treasures from this great hall into your Space Artifact. Otherwise, why would you use those two puppets to block the Shi Men?"
Niu Dahei’s mouth curled into a cold smirk as he looked at Lin Chen and spoke chillingly.
"Boy, wipe your Spiritual Sense from your Space Artifact and throw it over for me to check. If there really are no exotic treasures inside, I will naturally return it to you."
In his view, whether Lin Chen’s Space Artifact contained valuable treasures or not, he intended to take Lin Chen’s possessions for himself—if there were precious treasures, all the better.
"If you want my Space Artifact, come and get it yourself!"
Lin Chen’s gaze was icy as he stared at Niu Dahei. This guy really thought Lin Chen was afraid of him and even wanted to inspect the treasures in the Space Artifact he had obtained, which was nothing but a pipe dream.
"Boy, are you going to hand it over or not? If you don’t do it willingly, I won’t be so courteous when I come to snatch it."
Niu Dahei glared furiously at Lin Chen, not taking him seriously at all, and likewise completely disregarded the two human-shaped puppets behind him.
"Courteous? You want to inspect my Space Artifact, and you still talk of being courteous?"
Lin Chen sneered, as if sizing up Niu Dahei for a vestment robe he’d tailor shortly.
"Boy, you’re courting death!"
Niu Dahei, thoroughly enraged, swung his massive hammer at Lin Chen.
Niu Dahei did not take Lin Chen’s cultivation into consideration at all. Although those two human-shaped puppets held the strength of the Heavenly Human Realm, Niu Dahei believed defeating them would only be a matter of time.
He was already fantasizing about pressing Lin Chen to the ground and torturing him to death.
However, faced with Niu Dahei’s attack, Lin Chen didn’t dodge but instead took up his Heavenly Level Mid-Grade sword and directly joined battle with Niu Dahei.
"Boy, you dare to face my attack head-on? You truly have a death wish."
Niu Dahei said with disdain.
The collision of two powerful forces created an intense aura that spread outwards.
Although Niu Dahei was forced to step back several steps after being struck by Lin Chen’s sword, Lin Chen stood unshakable.
Even though Lin Chen’s sword trembled in his hand, his recuperative abilities were astounding, and he swiftly regained his composure.
"As expected of the one ranked eighth on the land list, his strength is formidable indeed."
Lin Chen was inwardly shocked.
But what Lin Chen didn’t know was that Niu Dahei was even more stunned than he was.
Niu Dahei never imagined that Lin Chen, with his Fourth Layer Reverting Void Realm cultivation, who should have been pulverized by one strike from his hammer, could actually stand up to him. Furthermore, in their clash, he had even gained the upper hand.
In the room, Yang Hui’s gaze towards Lin Chen turned serious; the contempt he had felt for Lin Chen vanished in an instant.
Not to mention Lin Chen, even Yang Hui himself would probably struggle to withstand a direct attack from Niu Dahei.
Yet, Lin Chen had resisted it squarely.
"Boy, you’re pretty good. This makes it interesting!"
Niu Dahei wore an excited expression, showing no anger at the "trash" who had blocked his attack, but instead, his whole being erupted with a desire to fight.
"I don’t have the leisure to play with you, stupid bull."
Lin Chen looked at Niu Dahei’s excited appearance, not wanting to get entangled any further. It wasn’t that Lin Chen was afraid of Niu Dahei, but with Yang Hui and Wu Yan around, and other martial artists possibly arriving at any moment, continuing the fight with Niu Dahei was highly disadvantageous for Lin Chen.

Most crucially, he had his eyes on the elixirs scattered on the floor of this great hall and wanted to pocket them for himself.
So, Lin Chen promptly unleashed his Divine Soul Power, targeting each of the scattered elixirs on the ground and began rapidly collecting them.
"Damn it, even now, you’re still thinking about picking up these elixirs."
Niu Dahei, upon seeing Lin Chen’s actions, immediately became infuriated.
Having his attacks blocked by Lin Chen hadn’t infuriated him as much as Lin Chen’s current actions, which he viewed as an utter insult.
How was this not belittling him? While he chased to strike, Lin Chen ignored him and instead picked up the elixirs scattered on the ground.
As Niu Dahei continued his assault, Lin Chen remained unresponsive, merely continuing to collect the elixirs with his Spiritual Sense.
Soon, Niu Dahei completely abandoned his offensive because he could not even touch the hem of Lin Chen’s robe.
He had no choice; this man in front of him was simply too fast.
Seeing this, both Yang Hui and Wu Yan, like Niu Dahei, also began to pick up the elixirs from the floor.
With the collection of the elixirs, the trio was extremely vexed, as Lin Chen’s speed of picking them up far surpassed theirs.
Consider that the room, including the elixirs scattered on the ground outside the great hall, contained tens of thousands of Fourth-Grade Yun Ling Pills. Though they were all Fourth-Grade, the sheer quantity made them quite valuable.
Yet Lin Chen alone picked up nearly sixty percent of them, which speaks volumes about the strength of his Spiritual Sense, as it is the key to collecting these elixirs.
At this moment, Niu Dahei was utterly frustrated. Not only was he unable to defeat Lin Chen, but he couldn’t even collect as many elixirs as him. He couldn’t even collect more than Wu Yan and Yang Hui by his side, as Niu Dahei, being from the Demon Race, specialized in Physical Strength and naturally couldn’t compete with the Human Race using Spiritual Sense in seizing elixirs.
At that moment, Niu Dahei’s furious gaze shifted from Lin Chen to Wu Yan.
