"On the way, I'll talk."
Long Chen signaled everyone to leave, and Luo Bing and Luo Ning quickly led their people away.
"Don't be afraid. Both of us are injured. He doesn't know what's going on here on our side, so the chances of him chasing after us aren't high." Seeing Luo Bing and the others looking nervous, he smiled slightly.
The blow from Long Chen and Zhao Wuzheng split Long Chen's arm, and Zhao Wuzheng spat out a mouthful of blood, injuring his internal organs. This blow was evenly matched.
Long Chen told everyone to leave because he feared that powerful figures from other factions might overhear. If he attracted another group of strong figures like Zhao Wuzheng, it would be a disaster.
"That Zhao Wuzheng is terrifying. No wonder he's called the number one young leader of the Golden Bell Sect." A sect leader-level disciple said with lingering fear.
Although they were far away, they could still clearly see the moment Zhao Wuzheng made his move—a single punch shattering the mountain range—what an extraordinary power that was.
At this level, even if all of them fought desperately, they couldn't defeat him. This was no longer something to be killed by sheer numbers.
"Third Master is equally formidable. To fight Zhao Wuzheng to the point of mutual destruction, he's also a powerhouse of that level." A disciple said with a look of awe.
Their strike just now had stunned everyone. Only now did they witness what the power of a supreme prodigy truly was.
Although they had all heard of Bai Shishi's overwhelming combat power, capable of moving mountains and filling seas with a wave of her hand, Bai Shishi rarely appeared in the academy, let alone seen her in action.
But Long Chen had just entered the Jialin Immortal Land, slaying powerful opponents one after another, forcing Chu Yang to no chance to fight back. That battle was already terrifying.
But that strike just now, though it was just a simple clash, was a world-shattering power that made them understand what absolute power truly is.
They secretly felt relieved to have chosen to stay by Long Chen's side. If Long Chen hadn't warned everyone, they would have had no chance of survival when facing other teams.
"Boss, is Zhao Wuzheng really that strong?" Bai Xiaole said somewhat defiantly, because in his heart, no one in this world could compare to Long Chen.
"He really is strong. He has two types of bloodlines in his body, which should be mutated bloodlines." Long Chen nodded and said.
Although their contact lasted only a brief moment, Long Chen had a rough grasp of Zhao Wuzheng's character. Within this person's bloodline was a violent aura, not something a human should have. Either he had bloodline from another race, or he had acquired some terrifying bloodline through acquired fusion.
"Is he stronger than Bai Shishi?" Bai Xiaole asked.
"In terms of destructive power alone, he's a notch above Bai Shishi." Long Chen pondered for a moment and said.
"Even Fairy Shishi isn't his match?" Everyone was shocked.
Long Chen shook his head: "I'm talking about explosive power. If he fought Bai Shishi one-on-one, he wouldn't be able to beat her." Hearing
this, everyone felt much more at ease. Bai Shishi was known as the academy's strongest disciple; as long as she could avoid defeat, the academy still had hope.
"Boss, then between you and Bai Shishi, who is stronger?" Bai Xiaole asked.
"Why ask these useless things?" Long Chen said irritably. This kid asks questions regardless of the occasion. He seemed a bit smarter when he was hit, but now he seems to be out of his mind.
"Hehe, Bai Shishi looks down on men. If you can beat her, make her a bed-warming girl, have her serve you tea and water, wash clothes, and fold bedding. Just think about it—how glorious that would be." Bai Xiaole chuckled.
As soon as Bai Xiaole said this, everyone couldn't help but gasp. This guy really had a different mind than normal people. Not to mention that he actually encouraged Long Chen to win over Bai Shishi, with Bai Shishi's status and talent, who would dare let her be the bed-warming girl?
Long Chen rolled his eyes, speechless. These two siblings really were oddballs, and said irritably,
"I'm no match for her. Don't even think about that."
When Bai Xiaole heard this, she was instantly disappointed: "Wouldn't that mean she'll be allowed to do whatever she wants for the rest of her life?" "
This time, even Luo Bing and the others shook their heads. Just how deep is the grudge between this kid and Bai Shishi?
After traveling for three hours, they found a secluded spot. Everyone began to rest. Long Chen took out Luo Qingyang's body: "
Sorry, I did my best."
Luo Bing shook his head: "Actually, you already gave him one last chance. He was stubborn and brought this upon himself."
But even if you gave him a chance, repenting at the time wouldn't help. According to the Luo family's rules, his actions must be atone with death, and no one can save him. Looking
at Luo Qingyang's corpse, Luo Bing unconsciously choked up, tears streaming down his face. After all, they had grown up together and treated him like a brother. Now, seeing him become a lifeless corpse, Luo Bing felt extremely sad.
Although Luo Ning hated Luo Qingyang, seeing his corpse faded away, and unknowingly, her eyes turned red.
The other Luo family disciples also wept silently. Although they had previously harbored overwhelming hatred toward Luo Qingyang, seeing him now made them feel sad as well.
After a while, the Luo family disciples placed Luo Qingyang's body in the center. They circled it three times, muttering something that seemed to be a kind of prayer ritual.
Luo Ning set a fire, burning Luo Qingyang's body to ashes, and scattered the ashes into a nearby river.
According to Luo Ning, Luo Qingyang is a traitor to the Luo family, a disgrace to the Luo family. His body must not be buried in the grave, nor his soul in the memorial tablets. He must turn to ashes and be cast into the river, drifting with the current, washing away his shame.
Seeing the Luo family's strict rules, the disciples present couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. No wonder the Luo family was so powerful and the disciples so united.
After resting for a while and finishing Luo Qingyang's matter, Long Chen's injuries had healed, and the academy disciples who had survived two major battles had mostly recovered.
Luo Bing told Long Chen that she had used her family's secret technique to examine Luo Qingyang's soul memories and learned that Luo Alliance disciples were waiting in a hidden place.
So Long Chen and the others led their men to join up with him. When they reached the hidden cave, Luo Bing, Luo Ning, and the other Luo family disciples let out a mournful cry at the same time.
There were no Luo family disciples there—only scattered corpses and broken bones scattered all over the ground, with not a single survivor.
"It was Chu Yang who did it."
Long Chen inspected the battlefield and found that only one person had made a move, still retaining the aura of Chu Yang's bloodline.
"Luo Qingyang deserves to die a thousand deaths."
Luo Ning's eyes instantly turned red. Earlier, she had felt a bit sorry for Luo Qingyang, but now, seeing so many Luo family disciples killed by his foolishness, she wished she could scoop out Luo Qingyang's ashes and crush them again.
Clearly, Luo Qingyang had been deceived by Chu Yang. When he went to guide Zhao Wuzheng, Chu Yang secretly sneaked in and killed all the Luo family disciples.
Luo Bing knelt on the ground, wailing loudly. Many of her familiar senior brothers and sisters had taken good care of her, but she never expected to die tragically under Luo Qingyang's foolishness.
After Luo Bing cried for a while, Long Chen comforted her: "We don't have time to grieve right now. What we need to do is avenge them. We can't let it go."They died in vain. "
Luo family disciples, if they die on the battlefield, they are outmatched in skill and have nothing to say, but their deaths are far too unjust." Luo Ning held Long Chen in her arms, sobbing uncontrollably. Usually strong and steady, she felt like she was about to break down.
Long Chen sighed. He had once pitied Luo Qingyang, but pitiful people have hateful qualities. His foolishness had caused the deaths of so many innocent people.
The more Luo Bing cried, the sadder she became. Long Chen gently patted the back of her head with his large hand, and Luo Bing immediately lost consciousness.
"If we let her keep feeling sad and blaming herself, she might develop inner demons. Luo Ning, take care of her.
The rest of the Luo family disciples, collect the bones of the Luo family warriors. We still have many things to do. If we want them to smile in the afterlife, go kill Chu Yang and avenge them. After
Long Chen finished speaking, he ordered the Luo family disciples to gather the corpses. With heavy hearts, everyone continued toward the depths of the Jialin Immortal Land.
The next day, Long Chen led his men deeper into the field. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he turned a corner toward a wasteland.
Half an hour later, a battlefield appeared ahead, and everyone's expressions changed:
"Bai Shishi has fought someone here."
