"Master! Save... save me..."
Severely injured, Shangguan Pojun flailed his limbs like a toad, his face flushed a deep crimson.
"Let him go!" Shangguan He's expression turned grim as he roared at Long Chen. "Not only did you cause trouble in the Earth Institute and kill its disciples, but you now want to harm my Direct Disciple? Do you have any regard for the rules of the Martial Ancestor?"
Long Chen offered a faint smile. "I believe you're mistaken. Today's battle was not a matter of me causing trouble. This was a life-and-death duel between us, agreed upon three days ago. Their deaths are justified, and I bear no responsibility."
Seeing Long Chen dare to retort, Shangguan He's expression darkened further. The other disciples fell silent, not daring to utter a word. Before them stood the Great Elder of the Earth Institute; no one dared to offend him rashly, for they knew they could not withstand his rage.
