Long Chen, Xia Chen, and Guo Ran stared in shock at Ji Wuying in the distance. They could hardly believe their eyes—Ji Wuying was still alive.
"No, he's not Ji Wuying. Both of his hands have Supreme Bones." Guo Ran immediately sensed something was wrong. Since he also possessed the Supreme Bone, he immediately sensed something was off.
Ji Wuying struck down those who were blowing and beating around, but no one could see how he did it. As soon as he appeared, those people shattered with a thunderous crash without warning, and countless people stared at him in shock.
Immediately after, everyone cried out in surprise, because they saw a stout figure—it was Enpuda, the Blood Slaughter Hall Master.
Behind Empuda followed hundreds of masked experts clad in black robes, all assassins from the Blood Killing Hall.
At this point, people finally understood why these people had died. It turned out that Empuda had arrived, and by doing this, they were clearly slapping Empuda in the face.
Empuda's appearance caused quite a stir. Countless people watched this world-shaking powerhouse, each feeling a chill in their hearts—Empuda's fame was simply too great.
Not only the younger generation felt fear, even the older strong ones felt terrified. This was an extremely dangerous figure.
Although Empuda appeared to be only at the late Realm King stage, everyone knew his strength could even crush most Divine Lords.
As soon as Empuda appeared, she attracted the attention of countless powerful figures, but most only dared to watch from a distance, not daring to get close.
Empuda showed no emotion about these people's deaths; it seemed their actions could not anger him at all.
"Brother Long Chen, what a coincidence—you actually came so early!" Empuda immediately spotted Long Chen in the distance. A smile appeared on his chubby face, as if he were seeing an old friend he hadn't seen in years. He greeted him warmly, spoke as he walked straight toward Long Chen.
"It really is quite a coincidence. I'm growing more and more of you now. This must be Ji Wuying's twin brother, right?"
Ji Wuying died, and the Supreme Bone was transferred to his hand. If I'm not mistaken, now he controls time with one hand and space with the other. Amazing! Long Chen looked at the man and said.
"Hahaha, Brother Long Chen, you really have a keen eye—you saw through my disciple's background at a glance. I'm getting more and more impressed with you.
Wuming, why not go forward and greet Dean Long Chen? You have to understand, your Supreme Hands rely entirely on his support. Otherwise, who knows how long it will be? You definitely won't make it in time for the opening of the Three Thousand Worlds. "Enpuda laughed heartily and said to Ji Wuming behind him.
"I am Ji Wuming. Thank you, Dean Longchen, for granting me. To repay you, I will personally take your head." Ji Wuming cupped his fists slightly, watching Long Chen smile faintly at the corner of his mouth.
Guo Ran and Xia Chen's expressions instantly darkened, while Long Chen remained calm. They were enemies after all; if they didn't act, it would be a matter of life and death. Naturally, there was no need for formalities in their words.
"Then all I can do is wish you good luck. As I said before, I, Long Chen, welcome any form of challenge. As long as you dare to risk your life as a bargaining chip, I never refuse anyone." Long Chen said calmly.
Long Chen had a feeling about Ji Wuming. Although Ji Wuming was young, he had been honed by Enpuda for a long time, was deeply scheming, and not to be underestimated.
On the surface, he put on a proud and frivolous demeanor, but Long Chen's intuition told him this person was deliberately trying to lull him.
Given Empuda's personality, the disciples he personally trained must be as patient and patient as he was.
But no matter how he disguised himself, it was meaningless to Long Chen. As the saying goes, in the face of absolute power, any scheme is nonsense.
"Dean Long Chen, I really admire you. You once secretly tracked your movements, predicted your routes multiple times, and set traps waiting for you, but all of them came to nothing.
I always thought your deceptive formation was your ultimate target for the ruins of Lingxiao Academy in Ziyan Heaven. I never expected your target to be Jiuyou Island. "Empuda looked at Long Chen and said.
"To be honest, my first purpose in coming to Purple Flame Heaven is Jiuyou Island, and the second is your Tianhe Valley.
However, I underestimated the depth of you charlatans and big tricksters. The three of us brothers were almost wiped out by Liao Bencang on Jiuyou Island.
If it weren't for detonating that strange mirror, the three of us brothers would have died without a doubt. This time, luck played a major role, but this also indirectly proves that you big tricksters have been abandoned by the Heavenly Dao—even heaven doesn't want to help you anymore. Long Chen smiled faintly and said calmly.
Long Chen remained calm on the surface, but inside he was secretly alarmed, because he noticed that when Empuda spoke, a barely noticeable sense of danger enveloped him.
Long Chen immediately sensed something was wrong. Empuda must have sensed something. He might have started to doubt Long Chen's identity because Long Chen had broken the Star-Viewing Sky Mirror.
Because the Star-Peering Sky Mirror was designed for the Nine Star successors. Although Long Chen's divine ring and star map were masked by the Seven Absolute Xuanyang Technique and the Galaxy Sky Technique, and his aura was different from other Nine Star heirs, there were still some similarities.
This time, Long Chen got straight to the point and shattered the Stargazing Sky Mirror, so it's normal for the suspicious Empuda to be suspicious.
Long Chen said these words while looking into Empuda's eyes, because what he said was indeed true. He had come here with two goals: one was to shatter the Stargazing Sky Mirror, and the other was to destroy the Nine Nether Hall in Tianhe Valley.
Because the Nine Nether Hall in Tianhe Valley is, aside from the headquarters, Empuda's most important base. If this base is destroyed and his faith altar destroyed, Empuda will be severely damaged.
However, although Long Chen had tried to overestimate Liao Bencang's strength, he still hadn't expected Liao Bencang, empowered by the power of faith, to be so terrifying—he nearly lost his life. Naturally, he wouldn't go to courting death afterward.
"That's really a shame. If only you had come to Tianhe Valley first. After all, I'm not that idiotic Liao Bencang. If you come to Tianhe Valley, you're destined to never return." Empuda also said regretfully.
"There's nothing to regret. Even if I go to Tianhe Valley first, it definitely won't be like going to the Nine Nether Hall. I'll make many preparations.
Although you, Fat En, are full of tricks, I, Long Chen, don't give away my brains for free. Honestly, I really wish I had the chance to compete with you in terms of intelligence. Long Chen said with utmost confidence.
Long Chen had always been arrogant, especially when it came to intelligence and calculation. But after the world-destroying war on the Tianwu Continent, he basically had no interest in using so-called wisdom, because trying to solve everything with wisdom inevitably delayed his cultivation.
But when faced with someone as calculating as Empuda, who had suffered him several major losses, he felt a bit resentful and wanted to outsmart Empuda and prove with his strength: in terms of wisdom, I am not inferior to you.
Empuda sighed and said, "What a pity, what a pity. If you had come to my Tianhe Valley first, maybe things would have been a turning point. Even if I catch you, I still hope you will submit to Lord Brahma."
Unfortunately, you went to Jiuyou Island first and shattered the Star-Gazing Sky Mirror. There's no room for negotiation now.
This is all Liao Bencang's fault, that idiot. Besides losing his temper and shirking responsibility, he has no real skills, which is why things spiraled out of control. "
Damn it, Empuda, you scoundrel who only gossips behind people's backs. If you've got guts, let's have a fair fight."
At that moment, a furious roar rang out. Guo Ran and Xia Chen were both startled—they would never forget that voice for the rest of their lives.
