Even the two Old Ancestors couldn't disregard Yang Dingtian's life.
Long Chen was extremely intelligent, so he had taken advantage of this opportunity to capture Yang Dingtian. This supreme expert who could cause the heavens to collapse, the earth to split, the seas to dry up, and the rocks to crumble was currently being imprisoned by Long Chen like a little chick. Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help feeling like they were dreaming.
Such an impossible scene could only appear in one's dreams.
In the blink of an eye, the two Old Ancestors stood in front of Long Chen. Their speed also shocked Long Chen. If it weren't for the Soul Revolving Saint Jade, Long Chen might not even have the qualifications to speak in front of these two seniors.
With a glance, Long Chen memorized the appearances of these two old men in his mind. One of them was tall and thin, wearing dark green clothes. His long beard fluttered in the wind and his face was thin like dry firewood. This should be the Ancestor Luan they were talking about. As for the other one, he was thin and short, wearing black clothes. He was also old and his face was dark like charcoal. This should be the Ancestor Mo that the Yang family was talking about.
These two were Nirvana Tribulation realm characters and were famous powerhouses of the Yang family thousands of years ago. Compared to Yang Dingtian and the others, they were much older.
As for the Heavenly Ancestor in Li Xuanji's hands, he was even older than them.
"Don't move, I won't be polite." Immediately, Long Chen used Yang Dingtian's safety to threaten them.
"I mean what I say. Every time you move, I will tear off one of his hands." Long Chen calmly said.
His voice was also clearly heard by the more than 100,000 people below.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. To even dare to threaten the highest level World King of the Profound Yin Demon Region, this Long Chen's courage was simply made of steel. If he was made of flesh, it would be impossible for him to be so bold.
Of course, such a character could kill them with a single breath, but now he couldn't.
Ancestor Luan and Ancestor Mo were more curious about the existence of Long Chen. To them, since Long Chen had Yang Dingtian under his control, this was indeed a troublesome matter.
They looked at each other in dismay. Their movements were a little too big.
Long Chen's eyes were cold, but he put his hand on Yang Dingtian's arm.
"No."
After taking a few punches from Long Chen, Yang Dingtian was already struggling at death's door. However, he still knew that Long Chen was about to attack him.
Yang Dingtian suddenly shouted, but Long Chen didn't hesitate at all. With a ripping sound, Yang Dingtian's arm was cut off. Immediately, a miserable shriek rang out. Everyone was speechless. They had never imagined that Yang Dingtian would have a day where he would scream in pain like this.
"I said, stand still."
Long Chen said coldly.
At his age, to be able to reach this step and confront all the higher-ups of the Yang Family, this was simply a legend.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard to believe what happened today.
That blood-stained arm fell from the sky.
Although the arm could regrow, the deterrence caused was great enough.
With Yang Dingtian as a threat, the two Old Ancestors' hearts tightened. They also realized that this young man wasn't easy to deal with, so they didn't move for the time being.
In the sky, Li Xuanji began to use the Soul Devouring Technique without any regard for her life.
Long Chen couldn't see her situation. He only knew that his mission was to protect them for two hours. That was enough.
The two Nirvana Tribulation Realm martial artists gave Long Chen a great deal of pressure.
Long Chen's attention was on the two Nirvana Tribulation Realm martial artists.
After years of sitting and cultivating, their bodies had an aura of decay, and they looked like dried corpses.
However, their cold eyes were very terrifying, and they gave off the feeling of that Heavenly Ancestor.
"Just stand there and don't move. When the time is up, I'll return this old man to you. After all, I'm also half a member of the Yang Clan, right? Suddenly give me some face and accommodate me. Just treat it as a small conflict within the clan." Long Chen grinned and said with a mocking smile.
His sloppy attitude was even more hateful to the two Old Ancestors. They couldn't help but admit that Long Chen was the only person who had angered them in so many years.
The two Old Ancestors knew that this couldn't go on. Even if Long Chen was very strong now, they still had the power to surpass Long Chen.
It wouldn't be good to delay the final important matter because of Yang Dingtian. At the crucial moment, they could sacrifice Yang Dingtian.
This was something Long Chen could see from their eyes.
The two Old Patriarchs looked at Yang Dingtian in silence.
However, one of the two Old Ancestors, Ancestor Mo, thought of another matter. Judging from the youth's expression, he could probably fool him.
Ancestor Mo suddenly said, "You are so at ease with letting this girl use the Soul-Devouring Art on our Heavenly Ancestor. You probably don't know that, given her spirit, even if she succeeds, she will die at worst, or at least become a cripple for the rest of her life."
Long Chen was dumbfounded by her words.
Li Xuanji had never mentioned this to him. She had only said that she could guarantee that she would succeed, but she had never thought about the price …
These words made Long Chen feel somewhat vexed. He didn't completely believe her words, but he knew that Li Xuanji was indeed such a person. It was very difficult for her to say what was on her mind.
Silently paying the price was the style she preferred. Just like now.
"Let the dead die. Cherish the living. You're really heartless to use your woman's life in exchange for your sister's." Ancestor Mo seemed to have grasped the opportunity and was trying to break through Long Chen's mental defenses.
Although Li Xuanji wasn't his woman, Long Chen was naturally unwilling to use her life in exchange for his sister's. Thus, he struggled internally. If that was really the case, he would probably blame himself for the rest of his life.
However …
These were only Ancestor Mo's words, and he had said them at this time. His motive was very clear. He definitely wasn't concerned about Li Xuanji.
"I can't be fooled by him. She will be fine."
Long Chen believed that she wouldn't lie to him about something so important. She wouldn't do something so meaningless.
If he was fooled by Ancestor Mo now, all his previous efforts would go to waste. He would truly regret it for the rest of his life.
Ancestor Mo saw that he had softened and continued, "How about we make a deal? You return Tianzu and Yang Dingtian to us, and you can leave unscathed. I'll pretend that nothing happened."
He could also use Li Xuanji's life to disturb Long Chen.
This was a very fair deal. Long Chen had caused such a huge commotion, injuring three of the Yang family's five experts and killing two. If the Yang family could still let him leave, it would already be giving him face.
But Long Chen wasn't someone who would give up so easily.
"Don't listen to his nonsense."
In his daze, he heard Li Xuanji's voice.
Long Chen felt a lot more at ease. He had messed up because he was too concerned. He had gone through so much trouble to save Li Xuanji. He thought that she would cherish her current life.
In the face of Ancestor Mo's deal, Long Chen coldly smiled. "Your deal isn't bad, but I have another condition."
"What condition? Speak freely," said Ancestor Luan.
Long Chen said, "Get that Tianzu dog of yours to get out of my sister's body. That's all."
The two Old Ancestors' gazes immediately turned sinister.
It was clear that Long Chen was playing with them. This was unbearable. Since Long Chen refused to agree, they had no other choice. A World King was far more important than a World King. Since Yang Dingtian had been captured, he could only blame his own bad luck.
From the two Old Ancestors' eyes, Long Chen knew that they were going to give up on Yang Dingtian and personally take action.
Finally, a truly difficult battle had arrived. Long Chen narrowed his eyes, a sharp blood-red light bursting from them. A blood-red mist roiled around his body.
His hand was already grasping the crown of Yang Dingtian's head.
To kill or not to kill.
To Long Chen, this was a problem.
At this point, there was no longer any fear in his heart. Whether to kill Yang Dingtian or not, he only had one problem to consider, and that was that no matter what, Yang Dingtian was still his direct ancestor, and there was a bloodline inheritance between them.
To kill him like this didn't seem to conform to the rules.
After thinking for a moment, Long Chen shattered the meridians in his limbs. He wouldn't be able to use force for at least a few months before throwing him down. Then, he faced the two Old Ancestors again. There was no fear in his eyes. Instead, his battle spirit surged.
"Come on."
An angry roar shook the surrounding area.
Only he would dare to say such provocative words to two Nirvana Tribulation realm martial artists.
The two Old Ancestors glanced at each other. They had already decided that one would hold back Long Chen, and the other would get Tianzu out. To them, Li Xuanji could easily deal with him.
Shua.
The two of them moved separately.
Long Chen had already expected this. When the other party moved, he moved even faster. In an instant, he appeared in front of Ancestor Mo. He said coldly, "Do the two of you not have confidence in me? If you have the guts, come and fight me."
Such arrogant words made everyone's jaws drop to the ground.
Arrogant, really too arrogant.
Ancestor Mo said coldly, "You don't have the qualifications for us to work together."
When Long Chen blocked Ancestor Mo, Luan Zi saw an opportunity and also moved towards Li Xuanji.
Long Chen's eyes narrowed.
He used both hands at the same time. In his left hand, a blazing blood-red flame instantly expanded and covered the sky. In his right hand, a blood-red star pattern appeared. It was strange and full of killing intent. With a flick of this double attack, it turned into a huge barrier with a diameter of several thousand meters. Flames and stars circulated within it. It was extremely terrifying.
Ancestor Luan was startled. This kind of power also made his heart palpitate, which was why he didn't immediately rush forward. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Long Chen instantly appeared in front of Ancestor Luan and unleashed a torrential barrage of attacks on this old fellow.
Even though his opponent was strong, he could only grit his teeth and endure.
