Long Chen suddenly remembered that when he was breaking through to the Tongming Realm on the Tianwu Continent and leaving the Gate of Ghosts, he had stolen the door ring.
The door knocker seemed to be some kind of seal, but when it fell, a terrifying presence rushed out.
At that time, Long Chen was terrified and ran off without even seeing what that was. Looking back now, it might have been that existence.
"The Heavenly King you're talking about—does he have three heads?" Long Chen asked tentatively.
"That's right, that's our great Heavenly King. Kid, you're amazing—even the Heavenly King owes you a favor.
Maybe you shouldn't hang around here anymore. Come to our Underworld and be my Heavenly King's follower. Whatever you want, you'll get it. "That three-eyed being devoured the Immortal King-level Netherworld being in a few bites, then reached out to grab another being, biting off half its body in one go.
Luo Changwu, Luo Changwen, and the others felt their scalps tingle. What on earth was this? Immortal King-level beings were treated like radishes, and those beings didn't dare resist.
Chu Yingxiong's expression changed. He never expected things to turn out like this. That terrifying figure actually knew Long Chen and even formed a friendship. A sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
"You were summoned by me. Since you have enjoyed our tribute, according to the contract, you must obey my orders. I now order you to kill them." Chu Yingxiong hid behind the pill furnace and shouted loudly at the three-eyed being.
"Pah!"
The three-eyed creature spat out, and a bone dozens of zhang long shot out from its mouth, carrying a howling gust of wind straight toward Chu Yingxiong.
With a loud bang, the bone slammed into the furnace with a deafening roar. The void shattered, the bone turned to dust, and Chu Yingxiong spat out a mouthful of blood. Even the two statues behind him shattered, and the endless divine light vanished.
The alchemy furnace was unharmed, but Chu Yingxiong couldn't withstand it and was nearly killed by the shock. Especially the two statues that had supported him for so long shattered instantly after taking the blow.
If it weren't for those two statues, he would have turned into a mist of blood long ago. But even those two statues could only protect him this once. The bones of Immortal King-level beings in the underworld were shattered by the impact—the power exceeded everyone's imagination.
It wasn't an attack, but just a chunk of bone casually spat out, shattering two statues. Chu Yingxiong lost the protection of the statues, and the divine light around him began to dimm.
"Whoosh"
Long Chen stretched out his large hand, and the chain of flames stuck to the alchemy furnace, which Long Chen pulled over.
"Give it to me... Chu
Yingxiong was shocked and reached out to grab it, but he was a step too slow. He had nearly been shaken to death just now and lost the blessing of his divine power, so his reaction was noticeably slower.
"Whew." Unfortunately,
just as he reached out, Long Chen had already sent the pill furnace into the chaotic space. Once inside, Long Chen laughed heartily, almost dancing on the spot.
This is a royal artifact, a treasure forged only by a Realm King. With it, Long Chen will be like a tiger with wings.
"Long Chen, if you dare to steal something from the Heavenly Night Divine Venerable, you will face retribution." Seeing Long Chen take away the furnace, Chu Yingxiong was furious and spat out a mouthful of blood.
That was a royal artifact. Logically, without the strength of a Realm King, one couldn't control it. Chu Yingxiong was able to control it entirely thanks to the divine statue's blessing. He couldn't understand why Long Chen could put away a royal artifact.
But Long Chen did take it away. At that moment, Chu Yingxiong was instantly in despair. He never expected that he would fall into his hands, and how could such a terrifying being be provoked—one that was connected to Long Chen.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the sky suddenly changed. The stars above the nine heavens trembled, as if some force was gathering.
"The laws of your world are about to deal with me. I have to run, or I'll be killed." The three-eyed creature spoke as it reached out and struck down the creatures summoned by Chu Yingxiong one by one.
He took out a rope and tied them up, seemingly trying to take them away. Long Chen hurriedly shouted, "
Bro, the guy with the big knife on his back, can you not give it to me?"
"You want to eat too?" The three-eyed being was stunned.
"No, I'm not eating. I want it to work." Long Chen hurriedly said.
That was the Bone Blade Flame Demon, and the demon crystals within it contained terrifying flame power. For Huo Ling'er, that was a great tonic.
Moreover, the bone blade behind it was the result of its lifelong strength—unmatched in hardness, a natural fire-attribute divine weapon. Whether it was magic crystals or bone blades, they were supreme treasures.
"Alright, I can eat one less, but it's not a big deal. Without you, I really wouldn't have found so much prey at once. Consider it a reward for you."
Originally, the three-eyed creature had already strung them all together. Hearing Long Chen say this, it hesitated for a moment and finally threw out the bone-bladed Flame Demon that had been smashed to death.
The three-eyed being hung the remaining prey around its waist and said to Long Chen, "Kid, are you really not going to hang out in the Underworld?" With the Heavenly King protecting you, you can walk freely in the underworld. "
Long Chen was tempted. This three-eyed creature seemed to be just a subordinate of that three-headed monster, yet it was already so terrifying. If it had taken care of him, Long Chen would truly be amazing.
But then he thought about it—it was just a small gesture, and it was an unintentional act by himself, yet he had to repay a favor. That was quite a petty act.
Besides, with his pride, he simply couldn't rely on others to survive. In the end, Long Chen shook his head and said, "
I appreciate your kindness, Your Highness. If you get the chance, you should tell him."
I didn't mean it at first, so please don't take it to heart. If I save it once, you save me once, we'll be even.
If I get the chance, I can go to the Underworld, and I'll definitely have a few drinks with the Heavenly King. "
Rumble rumble ..."
At that moment, the heavens roared as the stars gathered. The three-eyed creature nodded, glanced up at the sky, hurriedly turned and slipped into the spatial hole, disappearing from sight.
The three-eyed creature disappeared, and the terrifying energy above the void vanished as well, returning everything to its original state.
Originally, when the three-eyed creature arrived, everyone stopped fighting. Now that he had disappeared, Long Chen looked at Chu Yingxiong, a wicked smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:
"Your Chu family can rest in peace now."
"Whoosh."
Long Chen put away the corpse of the Bone Blade Flame Demon with his left hand, and wielded a thunder blade in his right, slashing toward Chu Yingxiong.
"Boom!"
Chu Yingxiong blocked Long Chen's strike, but was struck by Long Chen, forced to retreat repeatedly. Without divine power support, his aura suddenly weakened.
"Chu Yingxiong, give my brother back my life!"
Chu Yingxiong was forced back by Long Chen. The Grand Elder roared in anger, unifying man and sword as he charged at Chu Yingxiong.
"Puff puff"
Both of their sharp blades pierced each other's bodies, startling Long Chen. Why had the Grand Elder suddenly gone mad, risking his life at a time like this?
"Pfft!"
Luo Changwen slashed down with his sword, sending Chu Yingxiong's head flying, while Luo Changwu's sword pierced Chu Yingxiong's dantian.
It turned out to be a tactical coordination. On the surface, it looked extremely dangerous, but when coordinated properly, it was the sharpest and most effective killing move.
With Chu Yingxiong killed, the Chu family's strong members were in despair. Someone shouted, and the Chu family experts immediately fled in all directions.
