With a loud explosion, a man and a blade slashed down at the sound, leaving the space empty, and the runes above the void shattered.
"It's a peeping formation. Oh no, she saw me." Luo Qingyang's voice trembled, his face full of fear.
He hated Long Chen, hated Long Chen for taking away the person he loved most. His hatred for Long Chen was beyond words.
Luo Bing grew increasingly distant from him, leaving him unable to see hope in life. He believed all of this was caused by Long Chen.
Just a few days before entering the Jialin Immortal Land, Chu Yang secretly approached Luo Qingyang and offered an enticing deal, promising to help him kill Long Chen, provided he cooperated.
Luo Qingyang, on a strange expedient, agreed to kill Long Chen. However, he had two conditions: first, he must not harm anyone from the Luo family; second, he had to keep the secret.
Chu Yang also swore with his soul to agree to his terms. What he didn't expect was that Chu Yang wanted to kill Long Chen by relying on someone else's power.
Even so, he still used his family's secret technique to help these people track down Long Chen. He never expected that Luo Bing would discover his identity, and for a moment, he was completely at a loss.
What he originally thought was that after Long Chen died, he would reconcile with Luo Bing and work together against Chu Yang in the future. That wouldn't be considered betraying the family.
But when Luo Bing found out about his actions, he was completely stunned, his heart filled with fear.
"Keep chasing,"
the huge, blood-swelling, beast-like powerhouse snorted coldly and led his men in a dash along the trail left by Long Chen and the others.
Meanwhile, Luo Qingyang was grabbed by several people, his face ashen, and disappeared with them.
...
"Luo Qingyang... Luo
Bing gritted her teeth, her jade-like hand clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palm, blood slowly oozing out, yet she seemed completely unaffected.
Although she had mentally prepared herself, after observing the formation and seeing Luo Qingyang's figure, she was still furious. She could not accept such betrayal.
Not only was Luo Bing furious, but all the Luo family disciples were furious. The Luo family had a strong sense of family honor and absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.
"Let's go kill Luo Qingyang and clean up the household." A Luo family disciple gritted his teeth and said.
"Long Chen, can you hold off that big guy?" Luo Bing looked at Long Chen, her beautiful eyes filled with pleading. As a disciple of the Luo family, with a traitor out of her household, she had to clean up the household.
Long Chen shook his head: "Those people are the strongest members of the Golden Bell Sect. The leader should be the number one of the Golden Bell Sect's top figures, known as the Wrathful Vajra Zhao Wuzheng."
This person puts tremendous pressure on me. I still have some issues myself, and I'm not confident I can defeat him.
Even if I can hold him off, there are no fewer than ten strong fighters of your and Qingyun's level. If we charge in now, even if you kill Luo Qingyang, at most four of us will survive. That
massive figure was the number one of the Golden Bell Sect, reputed to be incredibly strong, invulnerable to blades and spears, and had never met a rival among his peers. His reputation was extremely renowned.
Among the powerful opponents Long Chen had encountered, this person gave him the strongest sense of danger. According to Long Chen's estimation, this person's strength should be on the same level as Bai Shishi's.
Hearing Long Chen say this, everyone couldn't help but gasp. It was one thing for Zhao Wuzheng to be formidable, but the team had no fewer than ten strong figures like Luo Bing and Mu Qingyun. That was simply terrifying.
Although Luo Bing and Mu Qingyun only glanced briefly from the formation, they could still sense the terrifying aura emanating from Zhao Wuzheng. However, they hadn't expected there to be so many powerful figures in the team.
"Third Brother, do you have a problem with yourself?" Mu Qingyun asked with concern, and the others were startled as well, all looking toward Long Chen.
Long Chen waved his hand: "The problem I mentioned is that the Seven Absolute Xuanyang Technique and the Galaxy Sky Technique I practice have some issues in their fusion. It's okay." Long
Chen practiced the Seven Absolute Mysterious Yang Technique and the Galaxy Sky Technique, and fused the two. This incident caused a sensation throughout Lingxiao Academy. In this way, Long Chen used this method to mask the strange phenomenon of the Nine Star Overlord Body Technique.
The problem Long Chen was talking about was his Divine Fire Realm. Unlike others, 108,000 stars ignited divine fire, and he still couldn't control such terrifying power.
He hadn't expected that after advancing to the Divine Fire Realm, the power of the 108,000 stars would be too strong. He found it hard to control, and once he activated the divine fire power, he might even die from an explosion.
Now, he was like a strongman, wielding a thousand-pound hammer to smash walnuts. If he lost control, a single blow would wipe out everything.
Because no one taught him, he could only gradually figure out how to use the power of divine fire on his own. He was still in the adaptation stage and couldn't reach a level of mastery at the micro level. He didn't dare to improve his cultivation—he couldn't even control a thousand-jin hammer, and suddenly gained another thousand jin—that would be a disaster.
After so much time, Long Chen had been continuously circulating the power of the divine fire. He had already begun to grasp it, so dealing with ordinary experts was naturally no problem for him.
But if he encountered a powerhouse like Zhao Wuzheng, Long Chen would definitely have to unleash his full power. If he used too much divine fire power, it would be hard to control. Without mastery at the micro level, he feared he wouldn't be able to hold on.
"So what should we do now?" Luo Ning asked.
"Aren't we handling it right now?" Long Chen laughed, as he was leading everyone at full speed, circling around, sometimes left, sometimes right.
Suddenly, they crossed a high mountain, and a group of people appeared ahead without warning.
"Kill them all!"
Upon seeing those people, Long Chen gave the order directly. Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Mu Qingyun, and the others immediately sprang into action. With their previous experience, they understood how crucial seizing the initiative was, and their first strike was the fiercest and most decisive strike.
Those powerful figures were caught off guard. Long Chen and the others appeared so abruptly that by the time they reacted, Luo Bing and Mu Qingyun had already launched a killing spree.
"Boom!"
A powerful figure opposite him had just exchanged a direct blow with Luo Bing. Luo Bing grunted and was actually forced back by that man.
The man held a spear in his left hand and a shield in his right. The spear and shield were made of gold, runes flickering, and the weight of the air was astonishing. With a single move, Luo Bing actually suffered a minor setback.
Luo Ning was startled. The person reacted so quickly and his strength was astonishing, with thick earth energy swirling throughout his body—he was actually an earth cultivator.
"Die!"
The man shook his spear, the ground trembled violently, and a powerful force swept across the sky. His spear emitted ten thousand golden rays and roared as he arrived. As he thrust out, it carried a piercing sonic boom.
Luo Bing was shocked; he hadn't expected this person to be so powerful. The aura he had displayed earlier was truly deceptive. He was playing dumb to outsmart others, and his explosive speed was so fast that he seemed not to need to charge up.
At that moment, Luo Ning arrived, just about to join her sister in dealing with this man when suddenly a black figure appeared before them.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen made his move. Dragon scales wrapped around his palm, as if flames were igniting—actuallyHe just grabbed at the golden spear.
"Smack!"
Long Chen grabbed the spearhead with his large hand and thrust it forward. The golden spear's runes trembled, and the spear actually bent slightly.
"Pfft!"
That person was actually pierced through the chest by Long Chen's spear shaft. Long Chen's arm trembled, and the man instantly turned into a mist of blood.
With that powerful figure killed, the entire group instantly lost their resistance. Within a few breaths, over five hundred people were all killed.
After everyone was killed, Luo Bing and Mu Qingyun immediately left with their men without any delay, while Long Chen stayed behind, sitting quietly on a nearby rock.
Soon, Long Chen heard footsteps. A smile appeared on his face as he saw a tall figure. In his eyes, Zhao Wuzheng, the strongest of the Golden Bell Sect, had appeared.
