Long Chen's roar shook the entire world, and those holding whips looked up at the void in terror.
Long Chen stood atop the void, the space around him twisting continuously. The clouds of the heavens behind him converged into a massive demonic face, and the entire world instantly darkened.
Mercenary City seemed to have fallen into hell all at once. The most terrifying thing was that the demon's eyes on Long Chen's back were identical to his own, filled with countless black spots. Through those spots, it seemed as if the boundless hell could be seen.
"Long Chen."
When they heard that voice, Yu Ying and the others, who had already lost consciousness, were instantly alert, and then they saw Long Chen appear before them.
At that moment, countless mercenaries rushed out from their shabby shacks. It turned out Long Zaiye had given the order to seal off the entire mercenary city—anyone who dared step outside would be killed.
They had originally planned to fight to the death, at worst to die together, but Fang Liude ordered them not to come out. If everyone died, how could they live up to Long Chen's guidance?
As a result, everyone could only watch helplessly as Fang Liude was beaten to death, Yu Ying and the others were tied to pillars and beaten, while they could only watch from inside the house. That feeling was more painful than being cut into a thousand pieces.
Seeing Long Chen arrive, the mercenaries immediately gained a backbone and roared, "Just give the order, and we'll kill everyone and avenge Sixth Brother." Hatred
had burned in their hearts for who knows how long, and they were about to go mad. At that moment, someone reached out to untie the ropes binding Yuying and the others. Just then, a cold laugh rang out:
"Wait, whoever unties them dies!"
Following the sound, Long Chen saw Long Zaiye's spitting face, and behind Long Zaiye, a man with a mischievous grin followed behind.
That man was none other than Long Ziwei, the one Long Ziwei mentioned, ranked seventh on the Heavenly Ranking. At this moment, he looked at Long Ziwei behind Long Chen, gave a thumbs-up, and gestured downward, his face full of provocation.
"Long Chen, where exactly did you die? I've been waiting for you for a long time and still haven't found you. Why do you have to force me to come out like this? Long Zaiye's face was sinister.
It turned out that after Long Zaiye handed over the memory rune that day, all his memories in the main hall were erased, so he didn't even know Long Chen had gone to Jiuli Pagoda.
Meanwhile, the three great Heavenly Saints and the clan leader were all in seclusion and could not see him at all. As for the Lord of Heavenly Affairs, he never liked him, so he would never go to him to verify anything.
Now, seeing Long Chen, especially seeing the murderous look on his face, he was instantly thrilled. Long Chen's anger gave him a sense of revenge.
"Are you Long Chen?" Long Ziwei's master? I want to teach you a few tricks—what tricks do you have to win over a loyal dog so quickly? Long Yifang said provocatively.
"Whoosh."
Suddenly, Long Chen's figure flickered and vanished from sight. At the very moment he vanished, Long Zaiye and Long Fangfang were shocked and both retreated at the same time.
"Pfft!"
With a loud bang, Long Yifang's head was forcibly twisted off by a large hand.
"Boom!"
Long Chen kicked fiercely, exploding Long Yifang's body with a single blow. Amidst the swirling blood mist, Long Chen held Long Yifang's head and looked at Long Ziwei, saying,
"Let me teach you one more move. Combat is fighting, killing is killing. True killing techniques don't have that many flashy things. Only aiming to kill the opponent, giving them no chance. Long
Chen acted too quickly—no warning, no aura fluctuation. Before he even saw his move, everything was already over. Long Ziwei was stunned.
"Bastard, you ambushed ...!"
Long Yifang roared. Though only his head remained, he showed no fear at all.
"How dare you ambush my Long family's prodigy! Long Chen, you're asking for death!"
Seeing Long Chen destroy Long Yifang's body, Long Zaiye was both shocked and furious. At the same time, a look of wild joy appeared in his eyes. This gave him a reason to kill Long Chen.
"Boom!"
Long Zaiye formed hand seals with both hands, the phenomenon spreading wide. A transparent Heavenly Vein dragon aura swirled around him, and the violent shockwave instantly swept across the entire Mercenary City. All the mercenaries were blown away by the fierce wind.
Long Ziwei was quick-witted, immediately rescuing Yu Ying and the others, and escorting them away.
"Die"
Long Zaiye, his battle blade in hand, slashed fiercely at Long Chen like a bolt of lightning. He finally found an excuse to kill Long Chen. He would never give Long Chen any chance; once he struck, it was a full-force strike.
"Boom!"
To everyone's surprise, Long Chen actually met Long Zaiye's slash directly with Long Yifang's head. Amid Long Yifang's screams, Long Zaiye's severed head was smashed apart.
The battle blade empowered by the power of the Heavenly Vein could swallow heaven and earth. Long Yi's soul was utterly destroyed, and Long Zaiye didn't care about him at all. He wanted to kill Long Chen, even if Long Zhantian came back to kill him. He didn't care—he just wanted Long Chen dead.
"Smack" However,
when Long Zaiye slashed through Long Yifang's head with a single strike, Long Chen grabbed the long blade in one swift motion. At that moment, Long Zaiye was stunned.
Even Long Ziwei in the distance was stunned. Long Chen had actually grabbed Long Zaiye's long blade with his bare hands—a blade infused with the power of the Heavenly Vein.
Long Chen gritted his teeth, his face twisted with rage: "Fool, do you think you're still the same you once were?" You originally had a complete dragon vein, but my father cut off an arm, damaging your foundation, leaving only half of it.
You forcibly advanced your realm for Long Qingyun, consuming your source power. The current Tianmai dragon energy is just a scare momentum, just a superficial effect.
Your strength is already not much stronger than an average Heavenly Saint expert, yet you don't even realize it.
If I had known you were this foolish, I should have killed you back in the arena, or else none of this disaster would have happened. Long
Chen gripped the blade and suddenly pressed down. Long Zaiye immediately felt a tremendous force surge toward him, and his whole body sank downward.
With a loud explosion, the ground beneath Long Zaiye's feet trembled and caved in. However, the dragon energy around Long Zaiye's heavenly vein was still wildly circulating, resisting with all his might, but his body was already shaking uncontrollably, clearly at his limit.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Long Chen's large hand was covered by dragon scales, and his violent aura surged once again.
"Crack!"
Long Zaiye groaned in pain, his legs broken violently, and he knelt before Long Chen. At this moment, fear flashed in his eyes. He was horrified to realize that Long Chen seemed to have become a completely different person.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Long Zaiye's bones cracked loudly. The immense pressure made him feel like he was about to be crushed. He wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't speak; once he did, the force would instantly crush him.
"Long Chen, are you really bullying the Long family because there's no one left?"
At that moment, a cold and proud voice rang out, followed by a large hand slapping Long Chen's back. On that hand, a complete Destiny Wheel appeared.
"Child of Destiny" Long Ziwei's pupils suddenly contracted.
