When the seven-colored sword pierced through the head of a Celestial Clan expert, the entire world instantly flickered on and off, as if it might collapse at any moment.
The scene before their eyes seemed to slow down; they could even clearly see the seven-colored sword slowly piercing in and then piercing back out, everything so clear.
"Buzz buzz buzz... Heaven
and earth roared, myriad paths trembled, and even the heavens and earth seemed to be affected, beginning to release some kind of emotion.
"Show mercy... At
that moment, a terrified scream came from within the spatial gate in the sky.
Previously, the spatial gate had been forcibly burst open by that Celestial Saint of the Celestial Clan, leaving only a broken door. The voice came from within the broken gate.
The voice from within the broken door immediately began to introduce himself: "I am ...."
"If you want him to live, you'd better keep quiet. I, Long Zhantian, never know how to weigh pros and cons, and I am not threatened." Long Zhantian said calmly.
Long Zhantian's fingertip pierced the several-colored divine sword through the heads of the Celestial Clan powerhouse, but he did not unleash his power to kill him. The people behind the broken gate saw this glimmer of hope and immediately came forward to plead, hoping Long Zhantian would show mercy.
You have to understand, those are Heavenly Saint experts. Even for a powerful force like the Celestial Clan, they can't afford to lose them. After all, they've already lost a Heavenly Saint-level divine beast, and losing another Heavenly Saint would shake the foundation of the Celestial Clan and pose a risk of collapse.
"Judging by that voice, it seems to be the chief of the Celestial Clan." Someone behind Lord Tiansi shouted in the distance.
Lord Tiansi smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's him. Others have no right to plead for him. Long Zhantian is just Long Zhantian—truly a blessing for our Long family. If Long Chen can also belong to our Long family, how could our Long family not prosper?" Lord
Tiansi looked at Long Zhantian and Long Chen, and it was as if a blazing fire was burning in his eyes.
At this moment, the Celestial Saint of the Celestial Clan had completely lost his previous aggressiveness. He was trembling all over, his eyes filled with fear, because his life was now in Long Zhantian's hands.
His heart was filled with regret and even more unwillingness. He had been careless. He had seen that Long Zhantian was just an avatar and hadn't even summoned the vision, so he hadn't summoned the phenomenon. But he hadn't expected Long Zhantian's Seven-Colored Supreme Blood to be so terrifying—breaking through his defenses before he could summon the phenomenon. One wrong step could mean total defeat.
"I refuse,"
the Heavenly Saint of the Celestial Clan said through gritted teeth,
"If you were a real man, then let me go. We'd fight with real swords and weapons. If you kill me like this, I won't accept it."
"Whether you accept it or not has nothing to do with me. I never care what others think of me. Your provocation is extremely childish to me."
Long Zhantian smiled faintly. Judging by his smile alone, he resembled a refined scholar, appearing very approachable. But at this moment, he could decide the fate of a Heavenly Saint expert at any moment.
What was most terrifying was that Long Zhantian never unleashed any overwhelming pressure from beginning to end; he was like a mere mortal, yet he could defy fate and slay gods.
He was like a well—seemingly ordinary on the surface, but no one knew how much energy was hidden beneath the well's mouth. He was someone no one could see through.
A single clone, yet with a wave of his hand, suppressed the Heavenly Saint. This earth-shattering technique completely intimidated all the powerful beings present.
Those powerful figures who had previously been tempted by the Celestial Clan and shouted to kill Long Chen were now drenched in sweat. Only now did they realize how foolish they had been—they had unknowingly walked a lap on the edge of the gates of hell.
"But don't worry, I won't kill you, nor would I stoop to killing you."
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Long Zhantian kicked out, striking the dantian of the Heavenly Human clan expert. With a loud explosion, Long Zhantian sent the warrior flying with a single kick.
That day, the human clan expert was sent flying backward. Long Zhantian indeed kept his promise and did not kill him. However, the experts present clearly sensed something was off. The aura of the human clan expert dropped significantly in an instant.
This decline was not due to reduced consumption, but a qualitative drop. Although there were no Heavenly Saint experts present, they could clearly sense that something was wrong.
"You..."
The Celestial Saint expert of the Celestial Clan and those behind the broken spatial gate shouted angrily. The Celestial Saint warrior was filled with murderous intent, his face twisted with ferocity:
"You're ruthless! You actually destroyed my Heavenly Saint root and caused my realm to fall."
Hearing the roar of the Celestial Saint warrior, the experts present finally understood the strange phenomenon from before, and at the same time, they grew increasingly terrified of Long Zhantian.
To be able to quietly destroy the foundation of a Heavenly Saint expert—Long Zhantian's strength was simply unimaginable. It was simply too overwhelming. Both were Heavenly Saints, Long Zhantian was obviously far stronger than the other; they were simply not on the same level.
"Not killing you is already a tremendous favor, and yet you're still not satisfied? If you don't accept it, then try again. "Long Zhantian said calmly.
"You..."
The Heavenly Human Clan expert trembled with rage. At this moment, he was no match for Long Zhantian; if he tried to force his way, it would be no different from courting death.
"Alright, I, Ren Xuefeng, will remember this grudge."
That day, after the human clan powerhouse announced his name, he turned and disappeared. The mighty Heavenly Saint came in fiercely and hurriedly. Thinking back to his previous momentum when he burst the spatial gate, it was a stark contrast to his current disheveled state.
After Ren Xuefeng left, the other Tianren clan experts didn't dare linger and all fled. Long Chen ignored them, not wanting to kill them.
However, just as a group was about to leave, Long Chen shouted, "
Stop! Who told you to leave?"
These people were none other than the powerful ones who had previously been manipulated by the Celestial Clan to besiege the Dragonblood Legion.
Those people were instantly terrified and didn't dare move. Their faces showed fear. Not to mention Long Zhantian, the Heavenly Saint, was present—even if Long Chen made a move, they would have been wiped out.
Among the crowd, an old man smiled and said, "A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. In reality, the Celestial Clan is malicious and deceived us. You're magnanimous, so you shouldn't hold it against us, right?"
After all, we haven't caused you any loss. Also, rest assured, our disciples attacked you because they were blind and brought this upon themselves. We will never retaliate." This
man was just an ordinary Saint King, but he was quite skilled at adapting to the situation. He spoke flawlessly and kept a very humble demeanor, making it hard for people to keep causing trouble for him.
"I'm really not that magnanimous. Don't flatter me. I've seen plenty of tricks like this.
Enough talk—everyone kowtowed, and the matter was settled. No kowtowing was fine, just keeping their heads behind. Long Chen said calmly.
Long Chen had no interest in entangling with these petty people, but if he let them go, some fools would think Long Chen was easy to bully and keep pestering endlessly, insisting they pay the price, or else they wouldn't learn their lesson.
"This ..."
This group was stunned. Having them kneel and kowtow would be a huge loss of face. But if they didn't lose face, they might lose their lives. For a moment, they were filled with righteous indignation but didn't know what to do.
Just then, a gentle voice came through:
"Why not let me kowtow on their behalf for this head?"
