The divine might of Luo Zichuan and Bi Yingxiong shook the entire hall. A violent pressure swept across the hall, pressing countless people until their faces turned pale and their eyes filled with shock.
"Luo Zichuan, just an early-stage Divine Emperor, actually able to stand against Bi Yingxiong, who is at the mid-stage Divine Emperor?"
For a moment, the whole room was shocked. Bi Yingxiong was the peerless prodigy of the Bi family and one of the few mid-stage Divine Emperor experts in the entire Purple Blood Clan.
For countless years, no one in the Luo family had reached the mid-stage Divine Emperor stage, so they had always been suppressed by the Bi family. Now, Luo Zichuan was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. Seeing the divine radiance swirling around the two, everyone was astonished.
Bi Yingxiong's aura was even greater, while Luo Zichuan's was more solid. One was strong in quantity, the other in quality. In that moment, their auras collided nonstop, and neither could suppress the other.
Luo Zichuan's words were essentially a life-or-death challenge to Bi Yingxiong. Clearly, Bi Yingxiong's assassination of Long Chen had completely enraged Luo Zichuan, and he could no longer stay calm, developing murderous intent toward Bi Yingxiong.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the old clan leader waved his hand, and Long Chen immediately felt a gentle force surge from him. Luo Zichuan and Bi Yingxiong both staggered back half a step.
Long Chen was startled. This seemingly gentle old clan chief was actually so terrifyingly powerful. With a wave of his hand, he silently neutralized the power of both men.
"Alright, alright, let's not get so worked up. Let's talk this out!" The old clan leader chuckled, then looked at Long Chen and said, "
Long Chen, I heard you stood by and didn't help on the battlefield. Is that true?"
"Who told you that?"
Long Chen retorted directly, "I want to see who is so shameless. They clearly had ill intentions sneaking into our side with ill intent, yet they were surrounded by demons themselves, and now they want us to risk our lives to save them?" How shameless must you be to say something like that?"
Long Chen sneered, his gaze sweeping over the elders of the Bi family. At a glance, he spotted the elder who had appeared on the battlefield.
The elder's face was dark at this moment, but he didn't respond, because he himself wasn't good with words. After all, everything that needed to be said had already been said, so there was no need to repeat further, lest anyone catch him in the conversation.
"Just tell me, isn't this true?" Bi Yingxiong said coldly.
"What about your mother's truth? Let me ask you, when each team enters the battlefield, does it have to activate the perception nameplate?
When each team teleports onto the battlefield, does it automatically separate them by a certain distance?
What does it mean for you Bi family disciples to turn off the perception nameplate and quietly sneak up to me?" Long Chen sneered.
"That's because their perception tag has failed." Bi Yingxiong said angrily.
Long Chen widened his eyes and said, "Damn, how did you even say such a shameless excuse?" Alright, it's shameless, huh?
Alright, the reason we didn't go to help was because everyone suddenly had stomach issues, and everyone felt unwell and couldn't help. Is that an excuse?"
"Nonsense! How could so many people possibly have stomach issues together?" Bi Yingxiong shouted.
"Nonsense! How could something as important as the nameplate suddenly fail?" Long Chen sneered.
Long Chen and Bi Yingxiong confronted each other, leaving everyone speechless. Bi Yingxiong's argument was already stiff enough, so Long Chen simply started making things up.
But it makes sense. Since you can talk nonsense, I can make it up too. Everyone knows what they know, so let's see who's more shameless.
The elders of the Luo family, seeing Long Chen's sharp and piercing words, couldn't help but feel satisfied. After being targeted by the Bi family for so many years, they finally felt their anger finally settled.
Especially seeing the usually arrogant Bi Yingxiong now standing on end with anger, everyone felt incredibly pleased.
Back then, they were crushed by the Bi family—partly because they had no opponent who could rival Bi Yingxiong,
and partly because the Luo family was not skilled in sophistry, so they were always at a disadvantage.
Now, with Luo Zichuan's early-stage Divine Emperor strength, he could stand up to Bi Yingxiong, who was at the mid-stage Divine Emperor, while Long Chen spoke eloquently, leaving the Bi family in utter disarray.
"Old clan leader, this kid Long Chen is disrespectful to his elders and speaks crudely. I suggest we slap him first before discussing today's matter." Bi Yingxiong was trembling with anger and looked at the old clan leader.
Long Chen also said to the old clan leader, "Old clan leader, that old lamp Bi Yingxiong is arrogant and overbearing, spouting filth everywhere. I suggest we first pull out his teeth, then sew his mouth shut, and then discuss today's matters." Long Chen cupped his fists toward the old clan leader, his expression serious.
As soon as Long Chen said this, the old clan leader almost burst out laughing. Long Chen had imitated Bi Yingxiong's tone twice, and his serious expression was truly amusing.
Many people had already lowered their heads, afraid others would see them holding back laughter, but the old clan leader still kept a smile on his face instead of laughing loudly, which was a bit difficult for him.
"You..." Bi Yingxiong pointed at Long Chen, his finger almost poking his face, just about to curse out loud.
"Whew!"
The moment Bi Yingxiong pointed at Long Chen, Long Chen's face changed dramatically, and he roared, "Old Deng, you want to kill me?"
"Smack!"
Long Chen casually slapped Bi Yingxiong across the face. Bi Yingxiong was shocked and dodged in a flash, but was still half a step too slow and was slapped hard in the face.
The crisp sound echoed throughout the hall. When people looked at Bi Yingxiong, five clear bloody handprints appeared on his face. When Bi Yingxiong turned his face, his eyes were bloodshot, almost on fire.
"Grandpa, save me! This old lamp wants to kill me. He just used his soul power with a finger and nearly destroyed my soul." Long Chen looked terrified, hiding behind Luo Zichuan and pointing at Bi Yingxiong from behind, cursing him loudly.
"Bi Yingxiong, as the head of the Bi family and a mid-stage Divine Emperor, you actually harmed a descendant of the Heavenly Saint Realm. Your despicability has tarnished the noble bloodline of the Purple Blood lineage.
You insulted the Luo family, bullied my grandson. Today, I, Luo Zichuan, challenge you to a life-or-death duel. Luo Zichuan shouted sharply, tossing his nameplate into the air, his gaze sharp as a blade as he stared at Bi Yingxiong.
In fact, how could Luo Zichuan not know Long Chen was just acting? Most people knew Long Chen was acting.
But Bi Yingxiong's finger had indeed almost touched Long Chen's face just now. At such close range, if he really wanted to kill Long Chen, Long Chen would surely die. Therefore, Long Chen's counterattack was flawless.
Whether Bi Yingxiong had the intention to kill Long Chen or not, just this action was like smearing yellow mud on his pants—if not shit, then shit.
In other words, not only was this slap wasted, but he also had to face Luo Zichuan's deadly challenge. At that moment, Bi Yingxiong was completely berserk.
"Since you all want to die, I, Bi Yingxiong, will grant your wish." Bi Yingxiong roared angrily, directly taking out the nameplate and throwing it halfway away.
If the two nameplates fused, the two would be teleported to the Death Space, and only one person could come out of it.
At that moment, countless hearts were instantly suspended.
