"What's going on?"
Seeing Long Ziwei's condition, Long Chen and Gui Jiu were both startled. Long Ziwei was actually injured, with multiple wounds exposing the bone, looking extremely disheveled.
"My tenth was taken by someone." Long Ziwei said with a dejected expression.
Only then did Long Chen realize that Long Ziwei had just accepted someone else's ranking challenge and was defeated. He curled his lip and said, "
You deliberately ignored healing and put on a pitiful face to play the victim. Are you trying to get me to stand up for you?"
This kid had repeatedly urged him to climb the rankings, since Long Chen was also a member of the Long family and had the right to do so.
But Long Chen had no interest in this kind of ranking. He didn't want to make a name for himself in the Long family, nor did he need to take anything from the Long family.
Now, this guy had returned covered in injuries. Although the wounds were quite serious, he could have focused on healing first along the way, rather than coming to Long Chen with blood on the way. His intentions were far too obvious.
Seeing that he had been exposed, Long Ziwei wasn't embarrassed and said, "Boss, that's not quite the way you say it."
I don't know what medicine that guy took, but suddenly improved so much. If I lose, I'm defeated. I'm outmatched, nothing to say. I'm not the kind of person who clings to me.
The key is, that guy has a foul mouth, constantly insulting me. It's one thing to humiliate me, but he deliberately insults you, the Battle Heavenly Saint Emperor. How could I tolerate that? Shouldn't I fight him to the death? Seeing
Long Ziwei's righteous indignation, Long Chen smiled slightly. He knew this kid was determined to have him compete for the rankings. Even if he refused, Long Chen wouldn't give up and could come up with any trick. Who knew if he was deliberately exaggerating the story.
Seeing that Long Chen didn't believe him, Long Ziwei immediately panicked. He was about to speak when the void rumbled and exploded, and a handsome man, surrounded by a crowd, appeared before Long Chen and the others.
"Long Qingyun."
When Gui Jiu saw the man, his pupils contracted sharply, recognizing him as Long Qingyun, ranked eleventh on the Heavenly Ranking.
At this moment, Long Qingyun's face was slightly pale, as if injured, but his face was full of arrogance. In that moment, he understood that the one who had defeated Long Ziwei was Long Qingyun.
As soon as Long Qingyun appeared, Long Ziwei was not angry; instead, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. However, he put on a look of gritting his teeth.
"Long Qingyun, what do you mean?" Long Ziwei said angrily.
Long Chen was still lazily leaning against the square. What made him laugh was that behind Long Qingyun was a group of men and women, and Long Chen saw two familiar faces.
It was two women. Last time, they were with Long Ziwei, but now they stood behind Long Qingyun. Their expressions were cold, as if they didn't recognize Long Ziwei. Their backlash was faster than flipping a page.
"A dog is a dog. When beaten, the first thing they do is complain to their master. Unfortunately, your master is just a coward, so he can only hide here and don't dare show himself, hahaha!" Long Qingyun glanced at Long Ziwei, then at Long Chen leaning against the rubble in the square, laughing heartily, arrogantly to the extreme.
"You may humiliate me, but you must not humiliate the son of the great Holy Emperor." Long Ziwei roared angrily.
"Holy Emperor?" What the hell, Holy Emperor? Who gave him the title? He's just a group of mercenaries like ants calling him that, and he really treats himself like a dish? Long Qingyun sneered.
Long Qingyun's mockery infuriated Long Ziwei, trembling with anger. But in reality, this guy wasn't angry—he was excited. He shouted in his heart:
"Keep going, don't stop! Mock as much as you can, push harder, please, come on!"
It seemed Long Qingyun was very cooperative with Long Ziwei. He glanced sideways at Long Chen and said, "I heard you're Long Zhantian's son?" Although we don't like Long Zhantian, we have to admit that he is truly strong.
And you, as his son, are hiding here. I really doubt whether you are really his son, hahaha..."
Faced with Long Qingyun's mockery, Long Chen suddenly moved. As soon as he moved, Long Qingyun and the others involuntarily took several steps back.
However, Long Chen did not make a move. Instead, he raised both hands high, sat there, and stretched lazily. This gesture enraged Long Qingyun and the others, who felt they had been played.
"Long Chen, if you were your father's son, would you dare to fight me on the arena?" Long Qingyun pointed at Long Chen and shouted, launching a challenge.
Seeing this, Long Ziwei finally smiled. He was about to succeed. Next, it was up to Long Chen to face the challenge.
After stretching, Long Chen lazily sized up Long Qingyun, shook his head, and said, "What an idiot. Long Ziwei keeps digging traps for you, but you actually play along with him, jumping straight in."
But you don't know that in this world, there are some pits that, once you jump in, you can never get out, leaving you buried here? Long
Ziwei was stunned. So all his little tricks had been seen through by Long Chen, and he thought his acting was excellent, but Long Chen couldn't see through it.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just tell me, do you dare to fight me?" Long Qingyun shouted coldly.
"Whether you dare or not, don't you know yourself?" If you really dared to challenge me, you wouldn't have to go to the ring. Long Chen said calmly.
As soon as Long Chen said this, Long Ziwei immediately understood. Although Long Qingyun looked fierce, deep down he was afraid of Long Chen.
If he weren't afraid of Long Chen, he would have challenged Long Chen like Long Ziwei did, leaving life and death to fate. But he didn't dare; he only dared to compete with Long Chen on the arena, afraid of being killed by Long Chen.
It could be said that Long Chen's words hit Long Qingyun's heart right now, leaving him unable to answer directly, and the other disciples also picked up on the key point.
Long Chen said calmly, "You know you're no match for me. You're acting on orders, hoping to test my true potential through the arena battle."
You're afraid I'll kill you, so you rely on the arena's rules to survive. But what you don't know is, no matter where you are, once I, Long Chen, have a murderous intent, not to mention a small arena—even if the Heavenly Emperor descends, I can't save your life. Long
Chen's words were understated, but every word carried strong confidence. No one dared doubt his confidence, leaving everyone astonished.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The Long family has a rule: disciples of the Long family must not kill each other. Any grudges can only be resolved on the arena. Do you really think Senior Brother Qingyun is afraid of you? At this moment, a woman stepped forward to help Long Qingyun out of the situation.
That woman was none other than one of the women who had been with Long Ziwei before. Seeing her, Long Ziwei sneered, "
Nonsense, how come I don't know about this rule?" Aren't there plenty of cases of Long family disciples killing each other? "
Shut up! You're already someone else's dog—are you still a disciple of the Long family?" The woman shouted angrily.
"You..." Long Ziwei snapped.
"You can even tolerate this?" I really look down on you. At this moment, Long Chen instead provoked him.
"What can you do if you can't bear it? He is nothing but a defeated subordinate of mine; I will crush him until he never recovers. Long Qingyun sneered.
"Ziwei, do you want revenge?"
At this moment, Long Chen lazily stood up and patted Long Ziwei on the shoulder. A sly smile flashed at the corner of Long Chen's mouth.
