Because he noticed that Long Chen took out a lounge chair, holding a glass wine glass, poured half a cup of fine wine, and lounged comfortably on the lounge chair, rocking back and forth, seemingly enjoying a leisurely afternoon.
Seeing Long Chen like this, Chu Shuang felt a bit annoyed. Long Chen actually treated him like air, leisurely savoring fine wine amid such a tense battle. This was an enormous insult to him, even more humiliating than shouting loudly.
The experts on the viewing platform were all dumbfounded. What was going on? This was blatant contempt
.
Luo Bing and the others looked at Long Chen, both shocked and amused. Chu Shuang was about to lose her temper at him.
"As the arch-enemy of the Chu family, for the first time, I actually felt a trace of sympathy for them. This doesn't count as betraying the family, is it?" Luo Ning looked at Chu Shuang trembling all over, his features all crowded together, his original face unrecognizable, his furious expression extinguished. Luo Ning couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"I don't think so, because I feel a little bit of sympathy for him too." Luo Xue couldn't help but laugh as well.
"Long Chen, you've gone too far!"
Chu Shuang roared at the sky, his long hair flying. He felt like his lungs were about to explode. He wished he could rush into that orb and bite Long Chen to death.
But he didn't dare get close to Long Chen. With the information they had, they knew that if Long Chen got close, it meant death. So he could only hide far away, his frustration and anger reaching its peak.
"What do you mean by 'lustful'? Aren't you Chu family experts at schemes and tricks? Keep thinking about your underhanded tricks. I only have this one shield. If you can break it, you'll have the right to fight me. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have the right to make me act." Long Chen lay back and forth on the lounge chair, rocking back and forth, looking at the amber-colored wine in his hand. He couldn't be bothered to look at Chu Shuang and said calmly.
"You—"
Chu Shuang was furious. Just as he was about to form hand seals, Chu Ren's voice
suddenly echoed from deep within his soul.
"Don't rush. Let him keep acting arrogantly, continue to drain the power of his shield, and at the same time gather your own strength. When his strength is enough, unleash your ultimate move—his shield will shatter." He too will be killed together. The
four Chu brothers came to the Jiuzhou Conference well prepared. They did not offer tribute to Silvermoon City. The reason they could empower each other through the great array was because they brought four Faith Divine Pearls.
Sharing the power of the Faith Divine Pearl, they could transmit strength and messages to each other, but their goal was to kill Long Chen, Bai Shishi, and the Luo family's prodigy.
However, in the battle between Chu Gan and Long Chen, Chu Gan was overconfident, saying he would only use the joint technique unless he lost. But by the time he wanted to use it, it was already too late.
Fortunately, their combined technique saved Chu Gan's life at a critical moment. Their trick was thus seen through by Long Chen, and their combined ultimate never came to fruition.
Today, facing Long Chen, having learned from past events, Chu Shuang entered the arena, and the four of them were connected by the Faith Divine Pearl. They just hadn't activated it, not knowing that their joint technique had already been detected by Long Chen. They hoped to be more discreet, so that after killing Long Chen, they could also use the same method to kill Bai Shishi.
After hearing Chu Ren's words, Chu Shuang gradually calmed down. It made sense—why bother arguing with someone who was about to die?
Chu Shuang formed hand seals and sat cross-legged in the void. Countless runes surged from the void into the arena, merging into the lava. The nine fiery dragons clung tightly to the rune orb, and the chain runes added another shackle to the orb, trapping Long Chen tightly within.
Facing Chu Shuang's actions, Long Chen seemed not to notice at all. Inside the sphere, he leisurely sipped his fine wine. No matter how strong those nine dragons were, in front of Huo Ling'er, they were nothing but a bunch of fools. Huo Ling'er could outmaneuver them in circles.
Moreover, as time went on, Huo Ling'er absorbed their power, and she herself grew stronger without her noticing.
The funniest part is, if Huo Ling'er wants to absorb the Azure Rainbow Flame, she needs to expend some stamina.
But to conserve the primordial power of the Azure Rainbow Flame, Chu Shuang summoned the fire of the Heavenly Dao to empower the Flame Dragon.
As a result, the Heavenly Dao Fire became the nourishment to help Huo Ling'er absorb the Azure Rainbow Flame. They were afraid Huo Ling'er would choke and have trouble eating. Such attentive service meant that despite Chu Shuang's constant provocation, Long Chen felt embarrassed to respond and simply drank inside.
Luo Bing and the others saw countless flame runes flooding into the arena and couldn't help but feel a bit worried. But seeing Long Chen so relaxed and at ease, they relaxed and watched with peace of mind.
After reaching the top 128, there was basically no time limit in the arena. Previously, it was to prevent strong players from deliberately stalling and disrupting the rhythm of the match.
After reaching the top 128, everyone wished the strong fighters could fight longer so they could observe and learn.
However, most strong fighters want to defeat their opponents in the shortest possible time, often deciding victory or defeat within a few moves. Battles lasting longer than one incense stick are almost nonexistent.
So, with no time limit, Long Chen couldn't be bothered to calculate and just let Huo Ling'er absorb it as she pleased.
But seeing Long Chen show no signs of the phenomenon and not even enter combat mode, many people still felt anxious for him, because if the shield shattered, the terrifying pressure would instantly shatter him, leaving him no time to defend himself.
Time passed bit by bit, and soon the time it takes to burn an incense stick had gone by. Long Chen's defensive shield remained sturdy, showing no signs of damage.
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, a thunderous explosion erupted. The once calm sea of lava boiled instantly, and divine light shone from the nine fiery dragons.
"Die!"
Chu Shuang, who had been silent all along, suddenly let out a furious roar. A tidal wave of power erupted from the mouths of the nine fire dragons.
"Boom!"
The nine dragons unleashed their might, their auras surging several times in an instant. Endless power surged toward Long Chen's protective shield. The shield roared and exploded, and Chu Shuang's sudden attack startled everyone.
"Rumble!"
As the nine dragons exerted their power, Long Chen's defensive shield trembled violently. Long Chen, who had been dozing off, suddenly woke up and looked at the shield.
"Long Chen, you will pay the price for your arrogance. Wait for death in fear and regret."
A sinister smile appeared on Chu Shuang's face because he sensed that Long Chen's defensive shield was weakening and was being suppressed by the power of the Nine Dragons.
"Oh, looks like you have a big move," Long Chen said indifferently, looking at Chu Shuang.
"Of course, watch closely."
Chu Shuang laughed loudly toward the sky, rapidly forming hand seals. A divine statue appeared behind him, and as soon as the statue appeared, a flame rune lit up on Chu Shuang's forehead.
At the same time, identical runes lit up above the heads of the nine flame dragons. As soon as those runes appeared, the entire arena suddenly sank down.
"Crack, crack, crack
." At that moment, Long Chen's impenetrable shield was instantly covered in cracks, and Bai Shishi and the others' expressions changed instantly.
