Although the pursuers behind them were terrifying, they had been chasing Long Chen's group for a long time without any movement. While Long Chen was on high alert, he was also paying full attention to the Asura Sword Prison team. If it wasn't for the two elders at the Martial Path Complete Realm, Long Chen and the rest wouldn't have paid any attention to the Asura Sword Prison team. However, it was different now.
The golden token in his hand flickered and grew brighter. This proved that the Asura Sword Prison team was rapidly approaching. Long Chen told the two beside him to be on high alert. Then, he stood on the spot and watched as the seven sword auras shot over. In front of Long Chen, they turned into seven Sword Dao experts.
Among the Asura Sword Prison team, other than the two warriors at the Martial Path Complete Realm, the captain was also relatively strong. He was probably at the Martial Path Complete Realm as well. After all, the Asura Sword Prison team was one of the stronger ones among the 12 Supreme Alliances.
At this moment, both parties were facing each other. They hadn't fought yet, but the atmosphere was filled with the smell of gunpowder. They probably hadn't expected to meet the Evil Dragon Palace team. Hence, they were stunned at first and became on high alert.
The captain of the Asura Sword Prison team was a young man. He looked very young and immature. His height didn't even reach Long Chen's chest. He wore a grey robe and his long hair reached his heels.
In fact, his true age was already close to a thousand years old. The reason why he still maintained such a young state was because of his cultivation, and also because of his own physique. This was a mature and crazy soul living in the body of a young man.
The people of Asura Sword Prison were all like this. Their eyes weren't completely black, but slightly grey. They gave off a very cold feeling.
The two experts at the Martial Path Complete Realm beside him were both middle-aged men. A man and a woman stood at the back of the team. The man was tall and steady, while the woman was mature and beautiful. Faint sword markings could be seen on her body. Her eyes seemed to be hiding a sword as she sized up Mo Xiaolang cautiously.
Yes, the gazes of the seven people of Asura Sword Prison were all cast on Mo Xiaolang.
The two sides confronted each other for a period of time. The Asura Sword Hell's team leader, Zhuo Xuanming, who was also the toddler, turned around and exchanged glances with the two martial artists at the Martial Path Perfection realm. The seven experts then surrounded Long Chen. Although Mo Xiaolang was indeed very strong, it was seven against three. For them, the odds of winning were still very high.
After all, Zhuo Xuanming and the two elders were all at the Martial Perfection Realm. The combined strength of Zhuo Xuanming and the two elders was much stronger than those from the Godly Defying Sect.
The tension between the two sides gradually escalated. Long Chen could feel the murderous intent in their bones. They were already prepared to make a move. Not only did he believe in himself, he also believed in Mo Xiaolang's combat strength. If it weren't for the two martial artists at the Martial Path Perfection realm and outside of the rules, the Asura Sword Hell's team wouldn't even be in their eyes.
After surrounding Long Chen and the other two, Zhuo Xuanming, who looked young, walked forward barefooted. He raised his head and looked at Mo Xiaolang with an evil gaze. Then, he said, "We have a total of seven people, while you only have three. If we fight, you will definitely suffer heavy losses."
Mo Xiaolang snorted coldly and said, "Those who break the rules of the game will always be cowards. I look down on you." Zhuo Xuanming smiled.
He knew that Mo Xiaolang was referring to the two people in their team. He didn't mind it at all. After all, the other teams would definitely do the same. He pointed at the two elders in an extremely frank manner and said, "These two are the most famous Purple Green Twin Swords of our Asura Sword Hell. Even three martial artists at the Martial Path Perfection Realm couldn't withstand their combined might. It's a wonderful story in our Asura Sword Hell. I'm sure you've all heard of their names. Now, I'll give you three choices."
Although Zhuo Xuanming looked like a young child, he was arrogant on the inside and had a ruthless personality. It was completely different from his somewhat cute image. At this moment, a group of people had gathered together and stood coldly in front of Long Chen and the others. Zhuo Xuanming laughed loudly and said, "The choices are very simple. The first choice is for us to fight. I'll snatch your golden token and kill all three of you here. Of course, I don't recommend you to choose this."
Long Chen and the other two couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him. They were already prepared to fight.
Zhuo Xuanming suddenly started laughing and said, "What about the second choice? Your captain is this nameless nobody, right? Ask him to chop off his left hand and hand it over to me, and all of you will be able to leave. I suggest that all of you choose this option."
After he finished speaking, a few people shot dagger-like gazes at Long Chen.
They actually couldn't understand why Long Chen was chosen as the leader. In their opinion, although Long Chen's strength wasn't bad, he could only be considered average. Compared to a heaven-defying expert like Mo Xiaolang, Long Chen wasn't qualified at all.
Among the twenty teams, every team had the strongest person as the leader. Only the Evil Dragon Palace's team had Long Chen as their leader.
Why did the strongest person have to be the leader? It was because he was the one who controlled the golden token. It was the most stable. With Long Chen's strength, he couldn't protect the golden token at all.
"What about the third choice?" Long Chen curled his lips and looked at Zhuo Xuanming condescendingly.
"The third choice is very simple. I, Zhuo Xuanming, have long heard that the Wolf Race's Emperor's strength is outstanding. My Asura Sword Prison has countless experts. If we work together, we'll be invincible. Even the Desolate Emperor Palace's team might not be our match. Since that's the case, why don't we work together?"
After he finished speaking, Zhuo Xuanming and the other six started laughing. Their previous hostility had completely dissipated.
"Fight to the death or work together. Choose for yourself. I'm very interested in working together. After all, we'll have to pay a price to kill all of you. For now, we don't want to pay that price," Zhuo Xuanming said clearly.
Amidst their laughter, the atmosphere lightened up.
The Asura Sword Prison's team was still afraid of Mo Xiaolang. If it were an ordinary team, they definitely wouldn't waste so much time talking and would directly kill their way over.
Mo Xiaolang didn't like them from the bottom of his heart. Just as he was about to reject and fight to the death, Long Chen said, "Work together. Of course we'll work together. From today onwards, the Evil Dragon Palace's team and the Asura Sword Prison's team are brothers."
Mo Xiaolang and Li Xuanji didn't understand Long Chen's decision. Mo Xiaolang was confident in himself. Even though the Asura Sword Prison had two experts at the Martial Path Perfection Realm, he didn't think it was impossible for them to win. Moreover, with the Asura Sword Prison's team's current arrogance, even if they worked together, they would still have the upper hand and suppress the Evil Dragon Palace's team.
Long Chen didn't say anything and pointed behind him.
Mo Xiaolang immediately understood his goal. Actually, the biggest threat to Long Chen's team was the mysterious and terrifying existence behind them. Under the current situation where they didn't know anything, the Asura Sword Prison's team had an additional target for that mysterious existence to keep an eye on.
At that time, if that mysterious existence attacked, Long Chen's team had more people. It would be easier for them to escape or fight.
Mixing in with the Asura Sword Prison's team would benefit Long Chen a lot.
"One of us will play the good cop and the other will play the bad cop. Let's trick them," Long Chen secretly said to Mo Xiaolang.
Seeing Long Chen agree to work together so readily, Zhuo Xuanming was overjoyed. He immediately clapped and said, "Good, good. No wonder you can become the team leader of the Evil Dragon Palace. You're very tactful."
Hearing Long Chen's words, Mo Xiaolang pretended to be dissatisfied with Long Chen's decision. He coldly snorted and shut his mouth.
Long Chen was a smart person. After deciding to mix in with the Asura Sword Prison's team, he immediately mingled with the team. They called each other brothers and immediately became familiar with each other. On the other hand, Mo Xiaolang and Li Xuanji's expressions were cold. However, it seemed like they had no choice but to listen to Long Chen for some reason.
After getting familiar with each other, Zhuo Xuanming said, "Let's go. We'll start hunting the other teams. If we work together, we'll be invincible. We'll split the gold tokens evenly."
Long Chen sneered in his heart. These guys would probably make a move on the Evil Dragon Palace's team after getting rid of the other teams. Their plan was very good. However, they didn't expect that they would fall into Long Chen's trap instead.
If there wasn't a mysterious and terrifying existence following behind him, Long Chen would definitely fight them the moment he encountered them.
After saying that, Zhuo Xuanming led the Asura Sword Prison's team and walked behind Long Chen. The two experts in their team, a man and a woman in the Martial Path Great Perfection Realm, were looking at them with a smile. However, they were actually very vigilant.
"No, we can't go that way. We just came from that direction," Mo Xiaolang said coldly. He looked like he was very impatient with this alliance.
This wasn't strange. As a prince, Mo Xiaolang was a proud person. Of course, he wouldn't be happy to submit to the management of the Asura Sword Prison.
"Then where do you want to go?" Zhuo Xuanming looked at him unhappily.
Mo Xiaolang pointed in the direction of the Nine Underworlds Demon Ancestral Flame.
"We also came from that direction. There are seven of us and only three of you. Why should we listen to you?" Zhuo Xuanming said coldly.
"If the Asura Sword Prison is relying on numbers, then don't work together," Mo Xiaolang said coldly.
"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel."
At this moment, Long Chen came out to be the peacemaker. He glared at Mo Xiaolang and said, "We're all friends. There's nothing to quarrel about. Let's listen to Brother Zhuo."
"Yes, Big Brother …" Mo Xiaolang shook his head helplessly. He looked very helpless at Long Chen's disappointing look.
The people of the Asura Sword Prison looked at each other and smiled. They finally understood the relationship between them. They were sworn brothers. However, after Mo Xiaolang became rich, Long Chen became a burden. But because Mo Xiaolang valued friendship and loyalty, he listened to Long Chen.
In the eyes of Zhuo Xuanming and the others, Long Chen was simply a coward.
Vaguely, Long Chen felt that Zhuo Xuanming was very strong. This guy could probably be ranked in the top three among the geniuses of the Asura Sword Prison. After coming to the Nine Star Chaos City, he was even more dominant. His sword dao cultivation was extraordinary, and his body was surrounded by grey sword qi.
