The Medallion

"Another fool courting death, huh? Are you her companion?" Hall Leader Chen asked disdainfully as he glanced at Rocky and noticed his ordinary appearance and weak aura.

"I'm her man. Is that a problem?" Rocky replied with a sly smile.

Eunice shot a glare in Rocky's direction. She had no idea whether he had come to save her or to take advantage of her.

"Her man? If you want to be a hero to save this beauty, you should make sure you have the ability to first," Hall Leader Chen said, puffing out his chest arrogantly. It was clear that he didn't take Rocky seriously at all.

"I'm not trying to be a hero. I just want to take her out of here. I hope you can understand!" Rocky replied politely.

"Okay. You want to die? I'll help you then!" Of course, Rocky knew that it was an impossible wish. Hall Leader Chen would never let him leave with Eunice. Instead, he made a move, intending to send Rocky straight to the hell.

Currently, the onlookers were concerned. They thought that Rocky was so desperate to be a hero because he was out of his mind. Challenging a middle-level Spiritual Emperor was like begging for death.

Rocky stood calmly and watched Hall Leader Chen charge at him. Then, he flourished his hand and a dozen silver needles flew out.

When he saw them, Hall Leader Chen laughed. He gathered his strength and tried to knock them away, but the needles were stronger than he had expected and they pierced through his spiritual power.

Within seconds, at least half of the needles had stabbed into his skin.

Eunice gasped. She didn't think that Rocky's silver needles could penetrate the spiritual power of Hall Leader Chen. That meant that Rocky was likely stronger than Hall Leader Chen.

"Damn it!" Hall Leader Chen was so angry that he swung his fists at the air. He was ready to kill Rocky. But when he gathered his spiritual power again, nothing resulted.

"I'm sorry. I must have forgotten to mention that I put Paralyzing Powder on the needles. You won't be able to use your spiritual power for three days," Rocky commented, raising his eyebrows and smiling.

"You..." Hall Leader Chen trailed off. Rocky had beaten him using his own trick. His teeth gritted and his fists clenched as more anger filled him.

The onlookers were shocked. None of them expected Rocky to defeat a middle-level Spiritual Emperor in one move. Was it possible that Rocky was a great master and he was just hiding his strength?
