Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! - Chapter 510 Negotiating with Death

Chapter 510 Negotiating with Death

(Just what kind of physique is that?)

Genuine confusion filled Chong Sheng’s expression.

There was no need to doubt whether the formation was working-

Even the surroundings were changing rapidly.

The air twisted violently.

The ground glowed red.

The heat surged to terrifying levels.

Everything within the formation was being melted, distorted, and suppressed.

Everything-

Except Bai Zihan.

He stood there without the slightest change.

Not a single reaction.

Not a single sign of discomfort.

Chong Sheng’s eyes narrowed.

At first, he thought Bai Zihan was simply putting on an act.

But now-

It had already been more than a minute.

And Bai Zihan still showed no signs of resisting.

It was as if the formation…

Didn’t exist at all.

A trace of panic began to rise in Chong Sheng’s heart.

This was wrong.

Completely wrong.

He had never imagined that Bai Zihan would be this powerful. So troublesome to take care of.

Even the Nine Infernal Sun Killing Array-

A formation capable of killing a Great Ascension Realm expert-

Was completely useless against him.

Chong Sheng’s fingers twitched slightly.

His thoughts raced.

Run away again?

It was useless.

He tried and even used a teleportation formation to escape, but Bai Zihan still found him easily.

Moreover, his Qi was almost exhausted, and looking at the situation, he could perhaps last another 30 minutes of running before falling into Bai Zihan’s hands.

Kill him?

That too was equally difficult.

He even used a Grade-6 formation-

And it had achieved nothing.

For the first time-

Chong Sheng felt a deep sense of helplessness.

He had been through many situations in his previous life as well as this life, but this was the first time he had faced such an overwhelming feeling of

helplessness.

Even when on his deathbed in his previous life, if not for those traitors and underhanded methods, he could have survived.

But now?

Even by giving his all, using everything at his disposal, he couldn’t do much to

Bai Zihan.

His jaw tightened.

His expression flickered.

In the end-

He made a decision.

A humiliating one.

But a necessary one.

Chong Sheng took a slow breath.

Then he spoke.

“Young Master Bai…”

His voice was no longer as cold as before.

Instead, it carried a forced calm and respect.

“I don’t believe there is any grudge between us for you to go so far.”

He paused briefly, watching Bai Zihan carefully.

“Why don’t we leave matters here?”

His tone softened further.

“If you let me off today… I will remember this favor forever.”

“And I will definitely repay you.”

The blazing formation continued roaring around them.

But at this moment-

It felt strangely insignificant.

Bai Zihan slowly lifted his gaze.

His eyes landed on Chong Sheng.

For a brief moment-

He said nothing, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.

“Oh?”

Bai Zihan said with an almost surprised tone.

“No grudge?”

Bai Zihan tilted his head slightly.

Then he chuckled softly.

“Wasn’t it you who said that you would not spare me and that I would face the

same fate as the Quan Clan?”

Chong Sheng regretted those words immensely.

Chong Sheng lowered his head slightly, laughing awkwardly.

“Young Master Bai, those were merely words unintentionally uttered by this

useless mouth.”

He forced a faint, self-deprecating smile.

“This Chong Sheng has no intention of making an enemy out of you.”

His tone became even more careful.

“It was nothing more than a moment of anger. Please forgive me!”

He raised his head slowly, watching Bai Zihan’s expression.

“If Young Master Bai is willing, we can treat this as if it never happened.”

The blazing formation continued to roar around them.

Yet the one controlling it-

Was now speaking like someone trying to put out fire he himself had started.

Before Chong Sheng could continue-

Bai Zihan spoke.

“You might forget it.”

His voice was calm.

Almost indifferent.

“But I won’t!” Those simple words-

Instantly made Chong Sheng’s heart sink.

A cold realization surfaced in his mind.

Bai Zihan had no intention of backing off.

Chong Sheng’s fingers curled slightly.

His thoughts raced again.

But before he could think of another approach-

Bai Zihan spoke once more.

“Although…”

He paused slightly.

“…letting you live isn’t out of the question.”

Chong Sheng’s eyes instantly lit up.

A way out!

He immediately seized onto that single thread of hope.

“Please tell me what you want me to do!”

His voice carried urgency.

But also confidence.

As long as there was room to negotiate-

He had ways.

Plenty of them.

Bai Zihan looked at him with a faint smile.

“What can you offer me for me to consider letting you go?”

Bai Zihan asked playfully.

Chong Sheng didn’t hesitate.

His expression straightened. Confidence returned to his eyes.

“Young Master Bai, you may ask for anything within my means.”

He took a step forward.

His tone became firm.

“I possess numerous formations of Grade-5 and above.”

“Not just that-“

He paused slightly.

Then spoke with clear confidence.

“I even have Heaven-Grade techniques.”

His gaze locked onto Bai Zihan.

“If Young Master Bai is willing, I am more than happy to offer them.”

Chong Sheng’s lips curled slightly.

He knew the value of what he was offering.

Formations of such level-

Even in the Desolate Heaven Empire, he knew that they were extremely

valuable, even to someone like Bai Zihan.

And Heaven-Grade techniques?

This too was something that every Sect and Clan would fight for, including the

Bai Clan.

He was certain-

By offering such treasures, Bai Zihan would definitely let him off.

Bai Zihan fell silent.

He lowered his gaze slightly, as if genuinely considering Chong Sheng’s offer.

A thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

For a moment-

He even seemed tempted. Chong Sheng watched him closely.

A faint anticipation rose in his heart.

But in reality-

Bai Zihan wasn’t considering it at all. Not even a little.

From the very beginning, he hadn’t believed a single word Chong Sheng said.

A person like him-

Cunning, ruthless, and vengeful to the core-

Once given the chance, would undoubtedly seek revenge the moment he

regained his strength.

Letting him go?

That was no different from raising a hidden dagger against himself.

Not to mention-

The so-called treasures Chong Sheng was offering…

Were meaningless to Bai Zihan.

With the System Store at his disposal, things like Heaven-Grade techniques and

high-level formations were nothing more than items he could obtain whenever

he wished. Completely replaceable.

Completely insignificant.

After a brief pause-

Bai Zihan raised his head.

His gaze landed on Chong Sheng.

Then he spoke.

“Are those things as valuable as your life?”

Chong Sheng froze for a split second.

Of course not!

His life-

Was worth far more than those items.

Thousands of times more.

But naturally-

Bai Zihan didn’t know that.

At least, that’s what Chong Sheng believed.

A thought

At the same time- surfaced in his mind. (He is quite greedy!)

He could see it now. Bai Zihan wasn’t uninterested- He just wanted more.

Chong Sheng suppressed the cold glint in his eyes.

(Fine! If that’s what it takes to survive.)

11

.1

He could pay the price.

Of course-

He couldn’t make it too easy.

His expression stiffened slightly.

A hint of reluctance appeared on his face.

As if what he was about to give up was extremely precious.

Without another word-

He waved his hand.

The formation around them slowly dimmed.

The blazing heat dissipated.

The crimson runes faded.

In just a few breaths-

The terrifying Nine Infernal Sun Killing Array was deactivated.

The oppressive heat vanished.

The surroundings returned to normal.

Chong Sheng stepped forward.

Then-

He took out two items.

A Grade-6 Formation Scroll.

And a Heaven-Grade Technique.

He hesitated for a moment as if struggling internally.

Then he handed them over.

“Is this enough for Young Master Bai to let me off?”

Bai Zihan took them casually.

He opened the scroll first. His gaze swept across the contents.

Then the technique.

A brief glance.

Everything was authentic.

No tricks.

No deception. Chong Sheng had indeed handed over real treasures.

But-

Bai Zihan’s expression didn’t change much.

There was no excitement. No satisfaction.

Just calm indifference.

He closed the scrolls. Then looked back at Chong Sheng.

“What about that technique?” Chong Sheng’s brows furrowed slightly.

“Which one?” Bai Zihan’s eyes narrowed faintly.

“The one you used earlier. To dodge all my attacks.”

A brief silence followed.

That technique was one of his greatest trump cards.

Extremely rare and extremely powerful.

A Saint-Grade Technique!

Even among Saint-Grade techniques-

It stood at the very top.

Giving it to Bai Zihan would be like adding fuel to the fire. By then, he might

even become invincible with his already powerful phsyqiue.

There was no way that he was going to give it to him.

Chong Sheng forced a bitter smile.

“Young Master Bai, that technique is somewhat special.”

He shook his head slightly.

“It can only be used by certain physiques. For others, it would be useless even if

learned.”

His tone sounded sincere.

As if he was genuinely advising Bai Zihan.

But Bai Zihan simply looked at him.

His gaze calm and unmoved. “Give it to me.”

Three simple words.

No room for negotiation.

Chong Sheng’s expression stiffened. For a moment-

Silence hung in the air again.

He could feel it clearly now.

Bai Zihan wasn’t asking.

He was demanding.
