Another Realm King was slain, and now only five of the seven Realm Kings remained. Their rescue arrived a step too late.
With a loud explosion, five attackers struck simultaneously. Long Chen slashed with his blade, and blood sprayed wildly from the five.
Originally, seven people had fought Long Chen head-on and were evenly matched. Now, with two less and their courage faltering, their momentum suppressed, they couldn't even withstand a single strike from Long Chen.
"Second Form of Heaven-Opening!"
Long Chen roared again. At some point, a thin layer of purple mist had covered the blood-red long blade.
"Puff, puff"
The five joined forces to block again, but two of their physical bodies were shattered to pieces. Just as their primordial spirits tried to escape, Long Chen's palm shattered them, annihilating both body and soul.
The onlookers watching from afar were stunned in shock. Longteng Trading Company was one of the largest trading firms in Ziyan Heaven, as renowned as Huayun Trading Company. Although its foundation couldn't compare to Huayun Trading and its history was not as long, its strength was formidable and no one dared to offend it.
Now, suddenly a young man capable of piloting a ghost ship appeared, and with Divine Lord cultivation, he crossed two major realms to slay a Realm King expert. They could hardly believe their eyes.
Although Ziyan Heaven is full of hidden dragons and tigers, a prodigy as insignificant as grass, spanning two major realms and fighting seven at once—this is truly a legendary existence.
"Who exactly is this person?" How can one handle the ghost ship? "
What exactly is his grudge against Longteng Trading Company, and why is he so angry?"
"Fortunately, he warned us before he acted. Otherwise, if we had escaped a moment later, we might have turned into black men."
Seeing Long Chen so ruthless, even slaying Realm Kings, people were shocked and began to discuss among themselves.
Looking at the powerful figures of Longteng Trading Company, even if they didn't understand fate or lifespan deprivation, they could still see that their foreheads were darkened, and misfortune was likely to follow.
People say that approaching a ghost ship brings misfortune—in other words, bad luck and disaster will strike. It seems the rumors are not just empty tales.
Some timid people, upon seeing the ghost ship appear and recalling the elders' words, almost fled without looking back, because the elders often said that only by doing so could they live in peace.
And some bold people, who felt strong enough, didn't really believe the rumors, and were especially curious, stayed to watch the fight.
You have to understand, for thousands of years, no one has dared to oppose a giant like Longteng Trading Company. Now, a fierce young man in black has appeared—this is a world-shaking event. As witnesses, if they escape, they will look down on them for the rest of their lives.
Now, only three Realm Kings remained. Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, they immediately fled.
"Puff puff"
The moment the two powerful figures turned around, a thunder spear and a flaming spear pierced through their bodies, and their bodies instantly turned to ashes.
Qi Hong saw that all the Realm King experts had died. His face turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with fear, and even the iron ruler in his hand began to tremble uncontrollably, revealing his inner terror.
"Now you know you're afraid?" When you were so wicked and killed those innocent cultivators, how could you not be afraid? Seeing Qi Hong's furious gaze, Long Chen instead burned with rage and slashed down with his blade.
"Crack!"
Qi Hong gritted his teeth, pouring all his essence and blood into the iron ruler, pushing his strength to the limit. But Long Chen cut the ruler in one stroke, shattering both arms, blood gushing from his seven orifices, and he was sent flying, collapsing a mountain.
"Boom boom boom... Long
Chen walked step by step toward Qi Hong. With every step, heaven and earth trembled. Long Chen's killing intent soared skyward, like a deadly demon king advancing toward Qi Hong.
Qi Hong's arms shattered, his whole body cracked, his face filled with terror. All his bones were broken, but facing Long Chen, he kept twisting his body and retreating.
"Scared now?" Do you cherish your own life? But have you ever shown mercy to those innocent practitioners you sacrificed to the Demon Eye?
They are full of hope and reverence for the future, staking their lifelong savings, only to be sent into the jaws of the devil by you.
Bai Fang and his sister, what kind people you are! Are you animals? How could he bear to deceive them and force them to take their own lives? Long Chen's eyes were bloodshot, every word filled with bloody hatred. He wished he could tear this man into pieces, grind his bones to dust.
"Rumble rumble...
Suddenly, the void trembled as light screens appeared. Each screen contained a Realm King expert, more than thirty in total, and several of them radiated surging divine power, their auras far surging than those of Qi Hong and the others.
"It's the strongmen from Longteng Trading Company who have come to reinforce." Someone exclaimed, more than thirty Realm King experts were mobilized at once.
Counting carefully, there were thirty-six Realm Kings in total. As soon as these thirty-six appeared, each held a golden ancient basin.
On the golden pelvises, intricate patterns were carved. As soon as these pelvises appeared, they were aimed at Long Chen.
"Hahaha, Long Chen, your time to die has come." Seeing these people arrive, Qi Hong, who had been terrified, suddenly burst into arrogant laughter.
"Buzz!"
Thirty-six golden ancient basins simultaneously erupted with divine light, shooting thirty-six chains that enveloped Long Chen. The speed was unparalleled, and by the time Long Chen reacted, he was already trapped by heavy chains.
"Is that the faith artifact of Longteng Trading Company, the Treasure Bowl?" Someone exclaimed, but didn't dare to confirm it.
The treasure basin of Longteng Trading Company, like the Great Wealth of Huayun Trading Company, is said to be a sacred artifact of faith and heritage, possessing boundless power. However, whether it's Great Fortune or the Treasure Basin, people have only heard of it, but no one has seen it. Since the two major trading houses only conduct business and have hardly ever fought with anyone, everyone can only speculate.
"How dare you provoke Longteng Trading Company! Although our company is honest and profitable, we absolutely won't allow anyone to provoke us." The leader of this group was an elderly man who looked relatively young. Seeing the port had become a dead end, he was both shocked and furious.
"Harmony brings wealth?" Screw you, harmony brings wealth. Your Longteng Trading Company is clearly a case of profiteering and killing. Long Chen cursed loudly.
Qi Hong's soul fluctuated, likely secretly transmitting a message to the old man. The old man's expression changed, and he suddenly shouted:
"You were the one who killed and brought disaster, yet you smear Longteng Trading Company. Take him down!"
The old man gave Long Chen no chance to speak. Thirty-six people simultaneously tightened their chains, which quickly closed in the large net formed by the chains.
"Long Chen, don't worry, we won't kill you. I want to get a way to unlock the treasure from you. You came at just the right time." Qi Hong looked at Long Chen, who was wrapped in heavy chains, a sinister smile appearing on his face.
"But I will kill you."
Crack, crack, crack...
Suddenly, a pitch-black dagger appeared in Long Chen's hand, and the chains were cut off as if cutting tofu.
"You ..."
Pfft!
Qi Hong, who had been smiling a moment ago, looked terrified the next. The pitch-black dagger had already pierced his forehead.
