Hearing this, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s experts were infuriated. This was absolutely shameless. They clearly wanted his life but were actually demanding he go peacefully.
“Fuck off, you damn Kings. Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, don’t fall for it. Since we’ve all come, we don’t have any plans of leaving alive. Let’s go all-out!” roared a disciple.
“Go all-out!”
All of them roared and took out their weapons, prepared for a fight to the death.
Originally, they had been a bit afraid due to the arrival of a King. But now seeing that these three Kings didn’t give a damn about the truth and directly called Long Chen a criminal, they were all infuriated.
“Shut up! You ants don’t have the qualifications to speak!” shouted the black-robed ancient race expert.
His voice wasn’t loud, but it somehow rang like thunder in everyone’s ears. The Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples felt their heads buzzing, and blood leaked out of their ears. They collapsed on the ground. Only a few Sea Expansion experts were able to resist.
“Long Chen, since you want to persist in going about things the wrong way, don’t blame me for bullying the weak. Hmph, a peak grade Tiger Dragon Heavenly Explosion Pill isn’t enough to save your life!” roared the Pill Valley’s King.
“Is that so? I don’t believe that. This peak grade Tiger Dragon Heavenly Explosion Pill can not only preserve my life, but it can allow me to leave here safely. Most importantly, once I leave, I will kill every last person here, including those idiots by your side!” sneered Long Chen.
Long Chen was confident. He was very clear on the power of the pill in his hand. For an ordinary Sea Expansion expert, consuming it would mean certain death.
But he had the Green Dragon Battle Armor. He could definitely endure the medicinal energy. At that time, his power would be ten times greater than normal. Even if he couldn’t beat a King, he could clean up the trash by their side. Then he could use the Lightning Body Blink to escape. No one could stop him.
The Pill Valley’s King’s expression changed. The attack Long Chen had used just now had shocked him. Although he hadn’t seen it clearly, Long Chen’s explosive speed did cause him some worry. Now seeing Long Chen so confident, he became a bit unsure. But he sneered, “Even if you can endure that pill’s energy, your body will be crippled. Although it’s a just a seventh tier pill, it is an ancient pill. Only before the change in heaven and earth could a peak Sea Expansion expert consume it safely. But the world has changed, and the current age’s cultivators cannot compare to ancient cultivators. Furthermore, that is a peak grade pill. The chance of you being able to digest it is less than ten percent. Even if you do, with me present, there’s no chance of you harming a single hair on my disciples’ heads. I’d advise you to not resist. Think about yourself and about the people by your side.”
His meaning was extremely obvious. He no longer bothered with the charade and laid the threat bare: even if Long Chen escaped, none of the people by his side would survive.
“You shameless bitch. Were all your thousands of years wasted as a dog?!” Guo Ran couldn’t help but curse.
“Hmph, there’s no need for me to think about anything. I, Long Chen, never submit to threats. If you dare to attack my people, then I will break out of your encirclement, conceal my identity, and bitterly cultivate until I am at the peak of the martial path. Then I’ll get revenge for all of them,” said Long Chen calmly.
The current situation had far surpassed his expectations. But he had already thought things through before coming here. He would no longer hesitate. Even if what was ahead was a den of dragons and tigers, he would still go. He would no longer painstakingly scheme against others. Starting now, when he sensed a threat, he would go all-out to eliminate it.
He found that after that domineering moment from the Jiuli secret realm, he had gradually become apprehensive again and his guts had only grown smaller. He had become more and more reliant on intelligence instead of power.
But intelligence was deceptive. No matter how many trump cards you prepared, they would never be enough. Little Snow was an example. So he gave up on that. If he died, then he died. He wouldn’t retreat.
“Hmph, do you think you’ll have that chance?” sneered the ancient race and ancient family alliance’s Kings. They both extended a hand, and the world was bound by endless runes. Space became locked.
Long Chen didn’t even have a chance to devour the peak grade Dragon Tiger Heavenly Explosion Pill. A large hand reached toward him.
It was like the world was frozen around him. But a cold smile appeared on Long Chen’s face. His divine ring appeared, and four stars revolved in his eyes, but this spatial power still didn’t break.
However, when green scales covered his body, a sacred aura erupted and his spatial bindings shattered. Long Chen tossed the medicinal pill into his mouth.
“There’s no need to go so all-out.”
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out. Two qi waves erupted, and the ancient race’s King and ancient family alliance’s King were both blown back.
The ancient race’s King was sent flying and vomited blood, while the ancient family alliance’s King was slashed on the shoulder and cut in two. His blood splashed through the air.
This sudden change caught everyone off-guard. Long Chen had only just tossed the Dragon Tiger Heavenly Explosion Pill into his mouth when he stopped and didn’t consume it. He looked at that familiar figure with disbelief.
A sword slowly returned to its sheath. A man stood in front of Long Chen, and there was a thirty-meter black hole in the sky in front of him.
The void had been cleanly cut apart just like this. That blackness seemed to be able to devour anything. Just looking at it would make a person feel like their soul was being drawn in.
After that, the injury to the void healed in a single breath. It was an unforgettable scene.
“Long Chen, it’s been a few years. Your ability to cause trouble only grows stronger.” That man turned around.
“Sect leader!”
Long Chen, Meng Qi, Tang Wan-er, Gu Yang, and all the disciples who had originally been part of the one hundred and eighth monastery all had their jaws drop.
Chapter 948 Feng Xinglie
His aura had completely transformed, but his outer appearance was still the same. His sword was sheathed on his back, and he wore snow-white robes.
“Sect leader!”
They were delighted. This was the one hundred and eighth monastery’s sect leader from back then, Ling Yunzi! He had actually appeared here.
With one slash of his sword, he cut a King in two. However, that King used some unknown technique to reconnect the two parts of his body. He looked in shock at Ling Yunzi.
Other than Ling Yunzi, there was a middle-aged man in the air as well. Just now, a slash of his sword had blown back the ancient family alliance’s King.
He was extremely tall and muscular. It was like snakes were wriggling beneath his skin. He was bursting out with energy.
He had a broadsword almost just as tall as him on his back. He was like an immovable mountain as he stood there.
“You’re from the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect?” demanded the ancient family alliance’s King.
Hearing that he came from the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect, Long Chen didn’t find it odd at all. As soon as he had attacked, he had sensed the aura of Split the Heavens. Although the move he had used wasn’t Split the Heavens, he couldn’t have mistaken that aura.
That large man didn’t even glance at the King. He turned to Long Chen. “Not bad little fellow. Due to this mettle, you won’t be beaten too badly.”
His voice wasn’t loud, but it was like thunder in everyone’s ears. They all knew this person had to be a King and wouldn’t bother trying to flaunt his power in front of them. His voice was probably just like that.
Even from this distance, his voice shook their eardrums. If they were closer, wouldn’t they go deaf?
&n
bsp; Long Chen didn’t know what was happening, but he knew he was helping him. There was no need for him to throw away his life anymore.
“Many thanks for helping, senior.” Long Chen hastily bowed.
The large man waved his hand. “Don’t do so many useless things. The reason I’ve come here is because I was ordered to come support you. Today, if you want to kill someone, then go ahead and kill them. If someone dares to interfere, I’ll cut off their heads. Ah, speaking of which, who are you? How have I never heard of you in Central Plains? It seems you are very powerful.” He turned to look at Ling Yunzi, battle intent soaring in his eyes.
“Junior brother is Ling Yunzi. Greetings, senior.” Ling Yunzi smiled.
“Ling Yunzi? Why does that sound so familiar? Ah, didn’t the Heavenly Sword Gate obtain a peerless genius with that name who has already comprehended the Annihilation Sword Dao? Is that you?” said the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s man.
“I am simply indebted to the Heavenly Sword Gate's master and cultivating there. Senior brother overpraises me,” said Ling Yunzi.
Although his words were very calm, just hearing the name of the Heavenly Sword Gate was enough to shake everyone. The Heavenly Sword Gate was extremely famous on the Martial Heaven Continent. They only had a few hundred members, but they only accepted sword cultivators, and only sword cultivators that had comprehended sword intent at that. They were different from other sects and rarely interfered with mundane matters.
They were like a group of hermits that had isolated themselves from the world to cultivate. They rarely had any interactions with the rest of the world, but they were exceedingly terrifying experts.
Anyone could try to join the Heavenly Sword Gate. As long as they passed the test regarding the Sword Dao, they could join. After that, they would enjoy all the Heavenly Sword Gate's resources given to sword cultivators.
However, the test was extremely strict, and focused on the Sword Dao. The probability of passing was less than one in ten thousand, and the price for failure was death. It was a cruel trial.
But every person who managed to pass would have their name carved onto the Heavenly Sword Gate's Heavenly Sword Tablet at the front of the sect.
It had been many years since someone had managed to pass the trial and join the Heavenly Sword Gate. But over a year ago, Ling Yunzi had managed to pass, and when his name had been carved onto the Heavenly Sword Tablet, it had caused his fame to explosively grow.
That was why this Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s King would feel that his name was very familiar. He asked, “Don’t the Heavenly Sword Gate's experts only cultivate the Sword Dao and not interfere in mundane matters? Why have you run over here?”
“In truth, the Heavenly Sword Gate doesn’t require its members to act in any way, nor does it restrict our freedom. It just requires us to act according to our heart. There are some seniors who already have no ties to the rest of the world, so they don’t even leave the sect. There are also some who are completely engrossed in the Sword Dao and don’t care about anything else. However, I was never able to let my heart rest, and so the sect let me come out to settle my affairs. And now you see the result…” Ling Yunzi smiled at Long Chen.
“You have a relationship with Long Chen?” The large man was startled.
“Not just any relationship. The reason I could attain my current height is all because of Long Chen. So whoever tries to make things hard on Long Chen today will meet their death.” Ling Yunzi looked at the three Kings, his voice was flat but full of unquestionable resolve.
Hearing that Ling Yunzi was this powerful because of Long Chen, everyone was startled. Even Long Chen was startled.
Long Chen didn’t know that Ling Yunzi’s Annihilation Sword Dao was something he had comprehended after helping him erase the lightning tribulation energy within his body. He had comprehended the essence of annihilation, opening a completely new path for himself.
“Long Chen, as you get stronger, your ability to cause trouble also grows.” Ling Yunzi looked from Long Chen to the mass of experts below.
“Hehe, many thanks sect leader for your praise,” laughed Long Chen.
Now that Ling Yunzi and this large man from the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect had arrived, the crisis had been resolved. Long Chen’s mood was no longer so heavy.
He wanted to ask Ling Yunzi what he had done during the past few years for his cultivation base to grow to such a shocking level, but now wasn’t the time.
“Only a man who dares to cause trouble is a real man. If you flinch and cower when you do everything, what’s the point of living. Originally, I was in seclusion, but I was ordered to take a trip here. Tch, that was irritating, so I was going to give you a beating to vent. However, your display is very satisfactory, so I won’t. I’ll leave this beating for later,” laughed the large man from the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect. He patted Long Chen on the shoulder.
Booming sounds rang out when his palm struck Long Chen’s shoulder. He felt like his bones were about to break.
“Hehe, although you’re a bit small, this courage is not bad. Haha, truly not bad!” That large man examined Long Chen from head to toe like he was a treasure, causing Long Chen’s hair to stand on end.
“Senior…” said Long Chen.
“Don’t call me senior. What an irritating word. I am Feng Xinglie and ranked third. You aren’t one of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples yet, so you can call me third uncle. If you aren’t satisfied to be suppressed by me in terms of seniority, then hurry and raise your cultivation base. When you become a King, you can call me third brother,” said Feng Xinglie.
Everyone was startled. How was it that Long Chen had such a close relationship with a King from the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect?
The Remote Heaven Gang’s patriarch’s expression became extremely ugly. The matter had developed out of his control. They could only watch. They didn’t even have the qualifications to speak.
Seeing two Kings stand by Long Chen’s side caused the other Kings to be startled and infuriated.
The King from Pill Valley icily said, “Are you really going to harbor a criminal like Long Chen?”
Ling Yunzi was about to reply when Feng Xinglie took the initiative. ”There’s no need for so much bullshit. Although you’re from Pill Valley, you can’t represent Pill Valley’s higher-ups. You still aren't at that level. Furthermore, when did the Righteous path’s matters become something you can stick your nose into? Meddlesome dog.”
“You!” The Pill Valley’s King was infuriated. Feng Xinglie’s words were too ugly and didn’t give him face in the slightest.
“You? What you? I am here to support Long Chen, and if you refuse to accept that, let’s fight. If you don’t want to fight, then fuck off. What’s the point of all these useless words?” Feng Xinglie frowned irritably.
The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s people all liked to be direct. They would rather fight with their fists than their tongues.
“Bastard, my Pill Valley received an invitation to come here to get justice! As for you-” raged the Pill Valley’s King.
“Old bastard, do you want to try cursing me again?” Feng Xinglie’s expression sank. His hand reached toward the broadsword on his back.
The instant he grabbed the hilt, the world turned still. A powerful aura locked onto the Pill Valley’s King. If he dared to move, he would meet a thunderous attack from Feng Xinglie.
The lock of a King was incomparably terrifying as heaven and earth seemed to be suppressed. Each person felt like their heart was about to leap out of their chest.
“You!” The Pill Valley’s King was startled and infuriated. Although he knew that the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s people were all blockheads who didn’t talk reason, this was far too domineering.
Pill Valley’s position was extremely high. Each sect had to be respectful and deferential to them. After all, they all relied on Pill Valley’s medicinal pills.
So Pill Valley’s people we
re all arrogant and looked down on others. But Feng Xinglie didn’t accept that.
The other Pill Valley’s disciples all tottered on the verge of collapse just from being near Feng Xinglie’s lock.
The other two Kings didn’t know what to do. The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s people were all madmen. No one wanted to provoke them.
“I didn’t think this place would be so lively. For all of you to come here for my Xuantian Dao Sect’s matters truly make me endlessly grateful.”
An elderly voice rang out. Two figures appeared far away, crossing the distance in an instant.
Chapter 949 I Don’t Care What Illness You Have
The two elders had white hair and lean faces. They gave off a feeling of the Immortal Dao. With their white robes, they looked like immortals who had walked out of a painting to grace the mundane world. It was like they might vanish with the wind at any moment.
“Disciple Ouyang Qiuyu greets Elders!” Ouyang Qiuyu hastily bowed. These two were Kings from the head sect.
The person at the front appeared exceptionally old, but from the features of his lean face, it was possible to tell he had to have been very handsome in his youth.
The other one had an icier face. His lips were thin, his eyebrows were thin and long, and in general, he gave off an unfriendly feeling.
“Ouyang Qiuyu, as the sect master of the Xuantian Dao Sect, you should be the leader of the Righteous path here. How could you have done such crazy things? When did the Righteous path’s people begin slaughtering each other?” The icy elder shouted at Ouyang Qiuyu.
Ouyang Qiuyu lowered her head and didn’t reply. She knew that this Elder was doing this on purpose. It was like a family head scolding two children for fighting. No matter what, they had to first scold their own child, and only then would they investigate what had happened. That was the way for them to seem magnanimous.
“Disciple knows her wrongs.” Ouyang Qiuyu was experienced and she obediently apologized.
Only then did the icy elder nod. The other elder bowed slightly toward Ling Yunzi and Feng Xinglie, saying, “I am Li Changfeng, and this is my junior brother, Lu Minghan. He is a law enforcement Elder from the Xuantian Dao Sect. To have bothered all of you because of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s matters shames me!”
