It was incomparably heart-wrenching.
To Huang Yu and the rest, Long Chen was a member of the True Martial Emperor Palace. In the past, they had indeed disliked Long Chen. But now, they were wholeheartedly supporting Long Chen.
Letting a True Martial Emperor Palace's expert snatch the fiancée of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's number one expert. Just thinking about it was an incomparably exciting matter.
Of course, Huang Yu didn't think that Long Chen would lose. But he was still worried.
So were the others.
"Break!"
Wang Chao shouted malevolently. The longsword in his hand had already descended on Long Chen's head. But Long Chen didn't move at all. He gently lifted his left hand, and when his opponent's sword slashed down, his left index finger blocked the incomparably sharp blade.
"He's crazy."
Everyone was shocked. No matter what, the Dragon Slaying Sword had two dao patterns. No one present would be able to receive the opponent's attack with this kind of reaction in a head-on battle.
Instantly, the crowd went into an uproar.
"He's scared."
Wang Chao laughed in his heart. He felt that he had overestimated this kid. He was scared silly by a few words of his.
The Dragon Slaying Sword slashed down.
At that moment, Long Chen's left index finger turned into a claw. The Great Void Dragon's claw was incomparably sturdy.
Clang.
An ear-piercing sound reverberated in the surroundings.
Then, the crowd saw an unimaginable scene. Wang Chao's sword was brimming with sword qi, but it couldn't move an inch forward when it struck Long Chen's finger.
And Long Chen wasn't injured at all.
What happened next was even more shocking.
While Wang Chao was still in a daze, Long Chen grabbed the blade of the Dragon Slaying Sword, pulled it back, and punched out with his right hand. The heavens and earth shook. That heavy punch landed heavily on Wang Chao's abdomen. With a muffled bang, the Dragon Slaying Sword in Wang Chao's hand was snatched away by Long Chen. Wang Chao fell to the ground, twitching non-stop. Long Chen's punch had directly crushed his intestines.
This battle only lasted for a moment. It could only be described as an instant kill. It could be said that the strength of these two people was simply not on the same level. One was in the sky, and the other was on the ground.
At that moment, no one could believe their eyes. Long Chen was too relaxed, too carefree. It was as if he was casually teaching a lesson to a weakling. Even his anger had disappeared. In this battle, he stood at a supreme position, while Wang Chao was merely an ant, an insignificant ant.
"This is … too exaggerated …" Even Huang Yu from the True Martial Emperor Palace exclaimed in disbelief.
On the other side, Lingxiao and the rest squinted their eyes as sword light radiated from their faces.
Long Chen's attack had succeeded but he didn't continue. He held the Dragon Slaying Sword and took a few steps back. The Dragon Slaying Sword contained Wang Chao's energy. At this moment, it was trembling and under the attraction of Wang Chao, it was moving towards Wang Chao with all its might. Long Chen used Nirvana energy to attack. It was as though he was pressing down on an elephant, firmly holding the sword in his hand.
"Pfft."
Wang Chao vomited a mouthful of black blood on the ground. He crawled up slowly on all fours. At this moment, his face was deathly pale and his expression was lifeless. When he saw Long Chen standing in front of him with a cold and relaxed smile, holding his Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand, he was jolted awake.
Long Chen approached him and spoke in the same tone as Wang Chao, "Have you seen it? This is true power."
"Impossible!"
Wang Chao roared. His entire body was trembling and tears were about to fall from his eyes. In an instant, he became incomparably deranged. He gathered the energy of the world and roared hysterically, "Dragon Slaying Sword, come back to me!"
Under his guidance, the Dragon Slaying Sword roared and trembled. However, it couldn't break free from Long Chen's control. Long Chen looked at him coldly and walked towards him step by step. "Let me tell you, this is true power. Do you understand?"
"Go to hell, bastard."
Wang Chao was enraged. He stabbed his finger towards Long Chen. That finger instantly gathered the energy of the sky. It was incomparably cold and was about to pierce through Long Chen's body. However, he didn't expect Long Chen to be faster. The Dragon Slaying Sword swung over and a section of the finger flew towards the sky.
Once again, Wang Chao stumbled and fell to the ground, his body stained with blood. Compared to the arrogant and despotic Wang Chao had displayed earlier on, the difference was simply way too great. This was simply a fight between two people whose strengths weren't even on the same level. It was as though Long Chen was torturing Wang Chao.
"To think that he bragged about how powerful he is. If we really fight, he doesn't even have the qualifications to give Long Chen a toe."
"This is simply slapping my own face. Pa, pa, pa. I'm dying of laughter."
There were even more people who admired Long Chen. If Long Chen continued to develop like this, it might not be impossible for him to wreak havoc in the Sword Spirit Emperor Region.
"Ahhhhh."
Wang Chao crawled to his feet once more. Looking at his severed finger, his eyes were filled with tears of blood. Although his finger could regrow very quickly, the line of defense in his heart had already been completely destroyed by Long Chen. Under the immense impact of Long Chen's Defying Will, Wang Chao discovered to his horror that this young man before him was actually a god that was as lofty as the Heavens and Earth. As for him, he was merely a puny ant beneath his feet.
The difference between now and now was simply too great. The fear of death enveloped him. Wang Chao's body trembled as he stared at Long Chen in fear while retreating.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Long Chen appeared in front of him in a flash. He grabbed his neck and lifted him up, causing his legs to dangle in the air in fear. Long Chen's grip was extremely strong. Wang Chao felt like he was suffocating. He tightly held onto Long Chen's arm, trying to force Long Chen to loosen his grip. His eyes were lifeless as he stared at Long Chen, as though they were about to fall out of their sockets.
"Do you still remember when you stood at a height that I could never reach and told me what true strength was? Don't be anxious. Today, I also want to let you know how I felt back then." Long Chen's words were like a dream ringing in his ears.
Wang Chao's heart was trembling. His legs were shaking uncontrollably.
In his extreme panic, he could only use about ten percent of his strength. As soon as the battle started, Long Chen had used his absolute strength to suppress him.
The Dragon Slaying Sword was raised up high.
Without saying a word, Long Chen pressed the Dragon Slaying Sword against Wang Chao's stomach. His movements were very slow, slowly piercing in. This was a kind of prolonged pain. Wang Chao let out a heart-wrenching scream until the Dragon Slaying Sword pierced through his back.
Blood dripped down.
During this process, Wang Chao's body trembled even more violently. Tears started to appear in his eyes. He struggled powerlessly, but in his heart, there was still his fantasy of being strong. He clenched his teeth and shouted, "You're not my opponent. You're still not my opponent. Long Chen, you're just an ant. You can't understand my strength. You're just a dog for your entire life."
Pfft.
One of his legs was directly chopped off by Long Chen.
Long Chen threw the Dragon Slaying Sword heavily on the ground. Then, he started to use his bare fists. He lifted Wang Chao with one hand and punched Wang Chao with the other. This was his way of venting. He had been suppressing too much in his heart for the past nine years. Even though he was standing in a high position and his heart was calm enough, he still couldn't control himself.
After three punches, Wang Chao was already covered in blood.
"Enough."
The shocked Lingxiao finally roared and charged forward with three other Sword Spirit Emperor Palace martial artists. No matter what, Wang Chao was a member of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. Although Long Chen was strong and beyond Lingxiao's imagination, the members of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace couldn't be tortured by Long Chen like this.
Lingxiao took the lead and brandished the Taiji Divine Sword, slashing towards Long Chen. The Taiji Divine Sword was black and white in color. It was a mixture of Yin and Yang attributes. It was a dao treasure with two dao patterns. Lingxiao's skills were profound and he had cultivated for many years. This slash was definitely at the same level as Huang Yu. It was many times stronger than Wang Chao.
Compared to Lingxiao, the other three paled in comparison.
Lingxiao didn't use his full strength just to avoid Long Chen.
"Senior Huang Yu, should we make a move? They're ganging up on us from the True Martial Emperor Palace." Cang Xuanji, who was wielding the Blue Dragon Suppressing Sword, said.
"He can handle it." Huang Yu only said these four words.
Long Chen knew that he had made a move. In Long Chen's hands, Lingxiao was an important figure. He was related to Lingxi, so Long Chen would definitely not hurt him. However, he needed to prove something.
This was a fight between two people of the same level.
It would be a joke if Long Chen let Wang Chao go just like that. At this moment, Long Chen was holding Wang Chao's neck. He suddenly turned around in front of Lingxiao's tyrannical Taiji Divine Sword and stabbed at the Taiji Divine Sword with one finger.
"Extreme Cosmic Finger."
The terrifying power of the first layer of the Extreme Cosmic Finger, Time Disorder, surged forward. A mysterious power rippled through the air and collided with Lingxiao's attack. Lingxiao held the Taiji divine sword in his hand, but he was still sent flying by Long Chen. He flew a long distance away, while the other three fell to the ground, blood spurting from their mouths.
Hua.
The crowd was in an uproar.
This was Long Chen's true strength. He and Wang Chao were not on the same level. If he could force Lingxiao back with one move, he could actually kill Wang Chao with one move.
"Are you convinced?"
Long Chen sent Lingxiao flying and punched Wang Chao again. His movements were very fast. He threw Wang Chao into the air and used him as a sandbag, punching him repeatedly.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
Punch after punch seemed to ring in the crowd's ears. The sound of bones breaking, internal organs pulverizing, and muscles tearing made everyone's scalp go numb. Wang Chao could no longer speak. He could only scream in agony.
"Long Chen."
"Let go of me. You'll die. You'll die."
Long Chen ignored him and asked, "Are you convinced? Who's the beast and who's the ant?"
At this moment, Long Chen was cold and domineering. His eyes were filled with killing intent. This made Wang Chao more and more flustered and confused. The terror of death surrounded his heart.
… …
Alright, I've finally made it. I'll write another chapter tomorrow at 8. Everyone, go to sleep.
