"Kid, everyone's watching you now. Don't think you can leave!"
Chi Ming stared at Lu Ren and said coldly, "I'd advise you to know what's good for you. There were ten Dreamshade Flowers, and you took five for yourself. You've already roused everyone's anger!"
"Hand over two, and the remaining three are yours. We'll let you leave safely!"
As he spoke, flames roiled around Chi Ming. The terrifying power of his heaven-scorching crimson fire swept outward, carrying a formidable primordial might that battered Lu Ren.
"You'd better not think about running!"

No one had expected Huang Chen to speak up for Lu Ren.
After all, the first Dreamshade Flower Lu Ren had picked was the one Huang Chen had set his sights on.
By all rights, Huang Chen should have wanted to deal with Lu Ren more than anyone.
Chi Ming glared at Huang Chen and said coldly, "Huang Chen, when did you become such a coward? That man snatched the Dreamshade Flower you wanted, yet instead of getting angry, you're speaking up for him?"

"You!"
Chi Ming's expression darkened.
But he could not be bothered to waste more
