"Who do you think you are, daring to wield a blade and spear in front of me, Long Chen? Watch me snatch a blade barehanded."
Seeing Long Qinian thrust his spear at him, Long Chen spread his fingers wide and reached out to grab at the spear.
Long Qinian was furious. Long Chen didn't even bring out his weapons—this was clearly looking down on him. He was also a peerless master, having defeated countless heroes. Long Chen's contempt for him made him instantly erupt in anger.
"Boom!"
Dragon patterns lit up on the spear. At the moment the dragon patterns lit up, the sound of dragon roars erupted across heaven and earth, and a violent dragon might radiated outward.
Long Chen was startled; this person also possessed the power of dragon blood, which he hadn't expected.
"You dare to show off your petty tricks? Watch my invincible Dragon Claw Hand, oh my..."
Long Chen spun around, striking a bold yet cool pose, and reached out to grab at the spear, but deliberately staggered and shouted:
"My waist... Twist ..."
Long Chen staggered, just dodging Long Qinian's spear. Long Qinian thrust close to Long Chen's body and thrust forward, the immense force impossible to hold, heading straight for Eunuch Wei behind Long Chen.
Eunuch Wei had been looking at Long Chen with a cold expression, but suddenly the spear thrust straight into Long Chen's chest. Eunuch Wei's face changed dramatically—everything happened too quickly, too suddenly.
"Eunuch Wei, be careful..."
Long Chen pretended to shout out in alarm, but in reality, he was overjoyed.
Eunuch Wei had no time to resist. In his haste, his hands flashed with divine light. He roared, clasped his hands, and gripped the spearhead with his palms.
"Boom!"
But Eunuch Wei's defense only slightly slowed the spear's speed, and in the end, it stabbed into his chest with a loud bang. A large spiderweb-like crack appeared in the space behind Eunuch Wei.
"Such a strange feminine power."
Long Chen was startled. Eunuch Wei had actually transferred most of the force of this strike into the void behind him, bearing only a tiny fraction of the force himself.
In the rush and without any preparation, to achieve this much—this Eunuch Wei is truly formidable. Today, he actually misjudged him. Long Chen felt he had underestimated him.
"Pfft!"
Although he blocked the blow, Eunuch Wei still spat out a mouthful of blood, and Long Qinian took the opportunity to withdraw his spear. Shocked and furious, he had stabbed the wrong person. This man had embarrassed himself. Just as he was about to speak, Eunuch Wei pointed at him and cursed, "
You little bastard." , how dare you attempt to assassinate me? Do you even know who I am? Long
Qinian was furious after being scolded by Eunuch Wei, but when he saw the jade token at Eunuch Wei's waist, his expression changed slightly, clearly recognizing its origin.
Long Qinian didn't look at Eunuch Wei, but instead pointed at Long Chen and said, "Ignorant little rascal, today I'm giving this eunuch some face. Next time we meet, I'll take your head from the neck." After
Long Qinian finished speaking, he turned and left, not giving Long Chen any chance to speak or Eunuch Wei to curse.
"Eunuch Wei, you're amazing! That move is so cool! I admire you, haha, impressive!" Long Chen cupped his fists seriously, but seeing Eunuch Wei's disheveled state, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Kid, you did it on purpose!" Eunuch Wei's face turned ashen, his eyes burning with anger.
"Eunuch Wei, Long Chen isn't that kind of person. Are you hurt?" Yu Qingxuan hurriedly stepped forward to help Long Chen out of trouble.
"It's fine, this old servant. Thank you for your concern, Palace Lord... Pfft... But before he could finish, another mouthful of fresh blood spat out.
"Although you only suffered minor injuries, you should rest a bit. There aren't many people here yet. In a couple of days, when the elites from all sides arrive, I can still count on you to protect me!" Yu Qingxuan asked with concern, then took out a pill.
"Thank you, Palace Master. This old servant will go heal immediately. Palace Master, please be extra careful." Eunuch Wei reluctantly accepted Yu Qingxuan's pill.
After all, Long Qinian had once dared to challenge Xia Guhong. His strike was not easy to block; it had left him seriously injured, and he had to find a place to heal quickly to recover.
"Don't worry, Eunuch Wei, I'll be careful." Yu Qingxuan said.
"Also, as the Palace Master, you must always remember the dignity of the royal family and pay attention to your demeanor and decorum." Eunuch Wei added.
"Yes, yes, I understand." Yu Qingxuan said.
Eunuch Wei glanced at Long Chen again. He wasn't a fool—how could he not know that Long Chen was deliberately setting him up? But he said nothing and turned to leave.
When Eunuch Wei disappeared, the group of disciples behind Yu Qingxuan immediately showed expressions of relief, as if someone about to drown could finally stretch their head out of the water to breathe freely.
"You're so bad!"
Yu Qingxuan looked at Long Chen's smug expression and couldn't help but give him a playful glance.
"This guy is so annoying. Honestly, if it weren't for your pride, I would've slapped him long ago." Long Chen said helplessly.
Yu Qingxuan also said helplessly, "Actually, I dislike him too. With him around, there are so many rules, it's annoying."
But he was sent by Father, so I didn't dare to drive him away. Hehe, you're really something. Now we can relax for two days. As
she spoke, Yu Qingxuan chuckled, her serene demeanor tinged with playfulness, her smile full of joy. Clearly, Long Chen had hurt someone with a borrowed knife, and she didn't blame him—in fact, she was very pleased.
Seeing that Yu Qingxuan didn't blame him, Long Chen was even happier. Long Chen said, "By the way, didn't your master come with you?" "
Master didn't come, and besides, I'm not here as a member of the Yantian Divine Sect this time—I'm here as a representative... Representing our Vermilion Bird Empire. Yu Qingxuan said awkwardly.
It turned out that Yu Qingxuan had two identities: one was the last disciple of Dongfang Zichu, the sect master of the Yantian Divine Sect, a peerless prodigy cultivating both alchemy and fire. This identity was known to almost everyone in the Da Luo Star Domain.
But almost no one knows that Yu Qingxuan has an even more distinguished identity: the princess of the Vermilion Bird Empire, the noble inheritor of the Jiuli bloodline.
Yu Qingxuan is low-key and actually doesn't like to put too much spotlight on herself. She prefers a simple lifestyle and fears that Long Chen might feel pressured because of her status.
"Hehe, that's great. So from now on, when I go to the Vermilion Bird Empire and mention your name, I can act recklessly and do evil?" Long Chen chuckled.
She knew Long Chen was joking on purpose, but he didn't show any unusual behavior because of her status, which made Yu Qingxuan very happy. She covered her mouth and laughed, "
If you dare to tarnish the royal family's reputation, my father will know and will definitely break your legs immediately. Let me tell you, my father is really fierce."
Is it fierce? Not afraid, he's just his future father-in-law. No matter how fierce he is, what can he do? Long Chen looked at Yu Qingxuan's radiant smile and secretly chuckled to himself.
"It's so lively here. How about we go take a look?" Yu Qingxuan saw more and more people here, countless people starting to set up stalls. Looking around, it was all crowded. Yu Qingxuan couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.
Long Chen naturally didn't refuse. He led Yu Qingxuan straight to the market. Just as they entered, something suddenly caught his attention.
