Long Chen's expression turned cold. The Chu family really was capable, actually knowing this person was a disciple of Lingxiao Academy.
Needless to say, the organizers had already revealed their entire list. Anyone hostile to Lingxiao Academy would definitely have their list. Once their names appeared, they would immediately strike down relentlessly, giving them no chance to admit defeat.
This was the Chu family's challenge letter to Lingxiao Academy, and also to Long Chen. Although Long Chen was mentally prepared, seeing that dagger still filled him with rage, wishing he could find the Chu family members in the crowd and kill them all.
Seeing Long Chen's veins bulge on his forehead and his eyes flash with a fierce light, even Lu Mingxuan was so frightened that he didn't dare speak.
The disciples of the War God Hall came out and saw the slain man. Each of them was filled with rage. Being killed could only be blamed on their own lack of strength, not others, but stabbing someone else's brow with a dagger was a great humiliation to the deceased.
"Sorry, it seems we dragged you into this." Luo Xue sighed apologetically.
"This has nothing to do with your Luo family. The Chu family is lurking at my Lingxiao Academy and has always been watching us. This is a grudge between us." Bai Shishi shook her head.
Although on the surface it seems the Chu family is targeting Lingxiao Academy because of the Luo family, in reality, it's not that simple.
"You should just withdraw!" Bai Shishi pondered for a long time, but finally spoke to the disciples of the War God Hall.
"We ..."
The disciples of the War God Hall were both shocked and furious. Withdrawing now was a humiliation to them, but they were not afraid of death.
"Stop talking. Fairy Shishi is the team leader. We have to listen to him." A disciple from the War God Hall, usually dark-faced and usually quiet, spoke up.
"Brother Zhao... the disciples couldn't help but feel a bit angry, but this Brother Zhao was the strongest and most respected fighter here, so they had no choice but to listen.
"This is an order. Everyone must prioritize the bigger picture. Don't let us distract Senior Brother Long Chen." Brother Zhao looked at Long Chen and said.
Only then did everyone see Long Chen's face darken to the point of frightening, murderous intent surging in his eyes, waves of coldness radiating from his body. Even those on Long Chen's side still felt a chill run down his spine.
They hadn't expected Long Chen's reaction to be even stronger than theirs, and couldn't help but feel moved, saying nothing more.
"Long Chen, calm down. This is the Chu family's intention, just to provoke us." Luo Xue looked at Long Chen and said.
"They've already succeeded."
Long Chen nodded. He understood that this was the Chu family's intention; anger would have played the trap, but he still couldn't help himself.
The disciples of the War God Hall finally understood why Bai Shishi had made them all give up the competition and quit directly.
Long Chen seemed as wise as the sea, seemingly indifferent to everything, but he couldn't stand this kind of provocation.
If this continues, all opponents will imitate him. Those experts will use them as a means to provoke Long Chen, constantly provoking him.
Because by comparison, they were too weak, easily killed in one blow, not even giving up a chance.
Although it was somewhat discouraging, they had to admit that they were far behind the others. Giving up was the wisest choice for them, for Long Chen and the others.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The runes on the nameplates held by all the disciples of the War God Hall cracked, shifting from light to dark, and finally disappeared, indicating they had given up.
"Don't worry, we'll carry the glory of Lingxiao Academy for you." Bai Xiaole watched these people give up, feeling uneasy, and patted his chest to promise.
"Long Chen, you need to calm down. Your blood circulation is accelerating. If you encounter a master, it will affect your judgment." Lu Mingxuan looked at Long Chen with some concern and said.
It was just the death of an ordinary disciple. She didn't know why Long Chen was so angry, since that person was not his relative.
Long Chen shook his head: "It's fine. Anger will only surge my combat power, but it won't bring any danger."
I don't know why I'm so angry either. Maybe my cultivation has advanced too quickly, causing my state of mind to be unstable. You don't need to worry; maybe killing a few people will solve it. "
"Buzz"
At that moment, another elimination match began, and Long Chen was once more teleported onto the arena.
"Whew."
Long Chen had just stepped onto the arena, stepping on the void as he charged forward like a phantom, his large hand spreading wide and grabbing one person's neck.
The man had just entered, fully activating his vital energy. Before he could see who he was, Long Chen grabbed him, not even giving him a chance to admit defeat, which left him greatly shocked.
Long Chen looked into the man's eyes, and after a moment, slowly released his palm. The man was terrified, thinking he was doomed, but Long Chen let him go.
Only then did the man see Long Chen's face clearly and hurriedly knelt down: "Thank you, Mentor Long Chen, for sparing me from killing." "
Clearly, that person had watched the Dao Debate Conference, recognized Long Chen, thanked him, and immediately conceded and left. What he didn't know was that at the moment he was captured, Long Chen had already calmly sensed his soul.
Long Chen returned to the viewing platform, and Lu Mingxuan, Bai Shishi, and the others also came back. Everyone exchanged glances and shook their heads. The atmosphere grew tense, and no one spoke.
Although the disciples of the War God Hall had given up on the competition, they could still watch the battle here.
"Buzz"
After half an incense stick's time, another fierce battle began. Long Chen was teleported back to the arena, still striking first and subduing his opponent with a wave of his hand.
Runes swirled in Long Chen's eyes, soul power unleashed, forcibly probing the other's memories.
"Found it."
Long Chen snorted coldly, unleashing his soul power. A soul sword shot into the man's mind, shattering his head instantly, and a vast amount of memories were gained in his mind.
"Whew."
Long Chen returned to the spectator seats, finally showing a smile. Seeing Long Chen smile, Bai Shishi and the others also showed delighted expressions.
"I've obtained a batch of names to share with you." Long Chen said.
"Coincidentally, I also caught someone deliberately targeting us, so I'm sharing it with everyone." Luo Xue said.
This time, three of the matched opponents were deliberately targeting Lingxiao Academy, and they all had lists of Lingxiao Academy disciples.
At the same time, by soul searching, Long Chen and the others could obtain their candidate list from their memories, allowing them to launch a counterattack.
Their soul-searching was simple and brutal, because these memories were not sect secrets and had no soul seals, making them very easy to detect.
Moreover, the only participants here were Long Chen, Bai Shishi, Changchuan Gongzi, Bai Xiaole, Lu Mingxuan, Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Luo Xue, Luo Qing, and Mu Qingyun—all experts.
Although Luo Bing and Luo Ning were relatively weaker, in this knockout round, as long as they didn't encounter a super expert, it was definitely fine. Even if they did, they had the chance to admit defeat and wouldn't be killed in one blow.
Next, during continuous fighting, Long Chen would check his opponent's memories. As long as they were hostile, he would kill and search their souls to seize the list from their memories.
"Long Chen, it seems like someone has been watching us." Lu Mingxuan secretly said to Long Chen. Long Chen looked around and sensed countless pairs of murderous gazes.
Long Chen laughed, raised a fist with the center facing up, raised his middle finger high, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth:
"Grandson, if you don't accept it, come fight!"
