"Chief Yuluo, I heard you have been in seclusion for a thousand years. I didn't expect you to suddenly emerge today. I wonder if you have cultivated the Heavenly Veins?" A powerful voice came from ahead.
Long Chen focused his gaze and saw hundreds of figures ahead. They wore the attire of the Iron Blood Sect. Leading them was a man with a square face, broad mouth, sword-like eyebrows, and a beard full of bristling beard, resembling a mighty lion.
As soon as this person appeared, his blood surged skyward. At that moment, Long Chen and the others seemed to have encountered a wall, the overwhelming pressure making it hard to breathe.
"The man before me is Cao Guofeng, the current leader of the Ironblood Sect. He is cruel and ruthless. The one you want to challenge is his descendant." The Feather Spirit Clan chief did not answer Cao Guofeng's question, but instead addressed Long Chen.
Most importantly, when she spoke to Long Chen, she didn't hide anything from others; everyone present could hear her words.
"Cruel by nature, ruthless by nature—these eight words, hmm, I really like them, hahaha!" Faced with the Feather Spirit Clan chief's comment, Cao Guofeng was not displeased at all; instead, he burst out laughing.
Behind Cao Guofeng stood several elderly figures. Although their blood energy was hidden, Long Chen's intuition told him that these few were also Heavenly Saint-level beings.
Behind those few Heavenly Saint experts stood hundreds of young people. Though young, their vitality was astonishing, their fate fluctuating like the vast ocean—clearly true powerhouses.
Faced with Cao Guofeng's attempt to strike up a conversation, Yu Luo completely ignored him, not even bothering to speak. The Yuling Clan had no grudges with the Four Great City Guardians, but they also had no real relationship. If it weren't for Long Chen, the Yuling Clan wouldn't have gotten involved.
Seeing that the Feather Spirit Clan chief ignored him, Cao Guofeng wasn't angry. Instead, he looked at Long Chen and said coldly, "
Kid, are you Long Chen, the one who challenged Shaoqing?"
Long Chen didn't hold back and retorted directly: "Are you out of your mind?" Do you believe me when I say I'm your father? If you know who I am, why bother saying such nonsense? "
Haha...
Lu Ziqiong and the others were startled by Long Chen's words, while Mo Nian, standing beside Long Chen, was already laughing heartily, admiring Long Chen's sharp counterattack with utmost admiration. His words were truly powerful.
"You..."
Cao Guofeng was almost so angry he nearly lost his temper. Who was he? The current leader of the Ironblood Sect holds such a lofty status; even his enemies dare not speak to him so arrogantly. Now, Long Chen's words nearly choked him to death.
"Kid, you're courting death!"
Long Chen's words instantly sent the Iron Blood Sect disciples behind Cao Guofeng into a rage, gripping their weapons. With just one word from Cao Guofeng, they would rush forward and chop Long Chen into minced meat.
Cao Guofeng suppressed his anger, waved his hand to stop the Ironblood Sect disciple, and looked at Long Chen with a sinister expression as he said, "
Kid, I don't care who you are. Let me ask you now, why do you carry so many blood clan curses? Who exactly are you?"
"Blood Clan Curse?"
Long Chen was stunned at first, then understood that the so-called Blood Clan Curse Cao Guofeng mentioned was actually the resentment uttered by a Blood Clan expert before dying.
This resentment would cling to others to help others distinguish them. Long Chen had killed countless blood clan experts in the mortal realm, but he himself couldn't sense this aura, nor could the blood clan experts. Cao Guofeng was the first to notice it.
This only shows that Cao Guofeng's strength is more terrifying than all the blood clan experts Long Chen has encountered, making Long Chen the mortal enemy of the Iron Blood Sect.
Sure enough, as soon as Cao Guofeng finished speaking, all the Ironblood Sect experts present instantly turned blood-red as they looked at Long Chen.
Faced with such a terrifying situation, Long Chen showed no fear at all. Instead, he said calmly, "
You're asking what you know. I fought my way from the mortal realm to the immortal realm, stepping over corpses all the way. Your blood clan played a crucial role in that."
So, there's no need for any unnecessary words between us. If you want to kill me, I want to kill you too. Those so-called excuses don't need to be found. Even if you act now, it's no problem. Long
Chen's hatred for the blood clan began back on the Tianwu Continent. He had witnessed the blood clan slaughter humans, enslaving them like livestock and devouring them like food. Long Chen hated the blood clan just as they hated him.
The conflict between the two sides was irreconcilable, so whether or not Cao Shaoqing's provocation was a trap, Long Chen was determined to kill him.
What Long Chen wanted to kill was not Cao Shaoqing, but his indecisiveness, hesitation, and timidity. He couldn't be too rational or too clever, or else he would never find the Long Chen of the past.
So, even though he knew he couldn't defeat Cao Guofeng, Long Chen still showed no fear. Just as he had been so weak before, facing countless enemies who could easily take his life, he never retreated.
If he can win, there are ways to win; if he can't, there are ways to play. At this moment, Long Chen was gradually regaining his confidence.
"If that's the case, then don't even think about leaving Demon Subduing City alive!" Faced with Long Chen's answer, Cao Guofeng gave a sinister smile.
"Forget it, stop playing such childish tricks. The reason you came to intercept me was just to put pressure on me and affect me in the arena, didn't you?
You've wasted all your brain—it's filled with filth, right? Look at your Third Master Long—is he the type to be fooled? Long Chen said disdainfully.
Long Chen was even a bit puzzled. Logically, such an ancient monster that had lived for tens of thousands of years could use such childish methods.
"You're asking for death!"
Cao Guofeng finally couldn't take it anymore. With a furious roar, a violent aura erupted like a volcano, blood-red flames erupted, rushing straight toward Long Chen.
"Boom!"
At that moment, Yu Luo stretched out her jade-like hand. She seemed to have known Cao Guofeng would erupt. She slammed her palm into the void, producing a muffled sound as the shockwave tore through the void. Cao Guofeng and Yu Luo both stepped back simultaneously.
"Buzz!"
At the very moment Yu Luo made his move, four longbows were drawn. The bows shone like a full moon, heaven and earth trembled, the cosmos changed, and the entire Demon-Subduing City was shrouded in a shadow, a murderous aura shrouding the sky.
The Yuling clan's protector elders made their move. The four remained silent throughout, but when the four longbows pointed at Cao Guofeng at once, his expression changed dramatically. At that moment, he was actually locked onto.
Moreover, under the pull of the energy, any movement he made would trigger a four-arrow volley. Even though he was extremely arrogant, if attacked by four experts at once, his chances of survival would not exceed fifty percent.
He never expected the Yuling Clan to be so ruthless, trying to kill him at the first blow. Careless, he fell into a disadvantage, caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Choo cho cho...
When the four chief elders of the Yuling Clan made their move, all the Ironblood Sect's experts wielded weapons and murderous intent soared. As long as the Yuling Clan dared to act, they would fight with all their might.
"I don't believe you dare to make a move." Cao Guofeng looked coldly at Yu Luo and said.
Yu Luo said calmly, "As long as Long Chen says the word, today you will die without a grave. If you don't believe me, you can try the power of my Feather Spirit Clan's Feather Spirit Soul-Destroying Arrow." "
"Long Chen, order him to be dealt with. First, kill their leader, then deal with those small-time thugs." Mo Niansheng, afraid the matter wouldn't escalate enough, fanned the flames from the side.
When Cao Guofeng heard the 'Feather Spirit Soul-Destroying Arrow,' his expression finally changed. This was the Feather Spirit Clan's terrifying weapon, renowned for its might, capable of instantly destroying a person's soul—anyone struck by it would die.
If it were just one person, he wouldn't be afraid, but when four people pointed at him at the same time, he immediately felt regret. If he hadn't been so arrogant and kept a certain distance, he wouldn't have fallen into a desperate situation. At this moment, he was caught in a dilemma, and before he knew it, sweat began to befall his forehead.
Cao Guofeng braced himself and sneered, "If I die, your entire Yuling clan will be dragged down with me. If you've got the guts, then make your move." "
Smack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone struck, delivering a fierce slap across his face. At that moment, the mouths of countless onlookers in Fumo City dropped open in an instant.
