That was … Long Chen.
In that instant, Liang Teng's mind went blank. The tenacity in his heart dissipated, and all that was left was gratitude. He, who never cried, could not help but shed tears.
His appearance had not only changed Liang Teng's fate of death, but had also given the young dragons of the battle dragon tribe a ray of hope.
Of course, Long Chen had arrived a long time ago.
If Mu Huan had not gone overboard, he would not have appeared. He would have preferred to see them obtain victory on their own. That way, today's experience would be of greater help to them.
But he had to appear now.
Similarly, he was furious. Of course, he knew of these hidden rules and the existence of the complicated factions, but he had not expected them to be this arrogant.
Today, he would destroy these rules.
Today, he would seek true fairness for the battle dragon tribe.
"Master."
When the members of the Battle Dragon Tribe saw Long Chen lift Mu Huan, whom they had been unable to resist, by the neck, they were momentarily stunned. Then, an earth-shattering uproar erupted. At that moment, they could not help but tear up. However, unlike before, they were tears of anger and humiliation. Now, they were tears of happiness.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, they had already formed an inseparable bond. To them, Long Chen, who was of the same generation, was their true pillar of support, and someone they trusted absolutely.
They were so weak, and should not have been able to walk together with Long Chen.
But in the Dragon God Domain, it was rare to find a group of people who treated him as one of their own, who were unconditionally careful. Their feelings were especially precious to Long Chen.
This time, Long Chen had not gone to Eternal Dragon City. In fact, he had considered them, because Long Chen had promised them that he would return before the martial battle.
He had returned.
He tightened his grip, and Mu Huan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. His eyes were filled with shock and fear.
This scene also frightened everyone.
Only the battle dragon tribe was cheering excitedly. Everyone else was in a daze as they stared at Long Chen.
Rumble.
Most people left their seats and gathered around the Raging Dragon Battlefield.
For a moment, no one could clearly see who it was, so they were somewhat nervous. That young face seemed somewhat familiar.
"Who … who are you? Let me go."
Mu Huan's face was ashen as he suffered the same treatment as Liang Teng. With great difficulty, he spat out a few words and looked at Long Chen in shock. With his Six Paths of Reincarnation's strength, there were not many people who could so easily subdue him. They had to be at least in the Seven Star Reincarnation Realm.
On the other hand, the young man in front of him was simply too young, almost the same age as Liang Teng …
The feeling of death came from his neck. Mu Huan could feel the other party's true killing intent. That kind of fatal danger caused his hair to stand on end. He could not help but say, "Quickly come and save me."
He didn't know who it was, but he was trembling in fear.
At this moment, there were already many experts surrounding them.
"Who are you? Let him go."
Someone had already berated him harshly.
"This is the Massacre Dragon City. You're courting death!"
The experts gathered around him.
Long Chen did not loosen his grip. He raised his head and everyone could see his face clearly.
"Long Chen."
Instantly, many people took a step back in fright.
Among them, there were some who had seen Long Chen kill Meng Qingqiu on the spot and had a deep memory of him. However, they knew that Long Chen had gone to the Cave of Ancestral Dragons, so they did not think it was him.
At this moment, Long Chen's name had already overshadowed the title of the Eternal Dragon Emperor's son.
With the protection of the three Dragon Emperors, he had already become one of the people that Massacre Dragon City could not afford to offend. Even the Sky Curtain Emperor did not dare to touch him.
He was an ultimate expert that had lived for tens of thousands of years. He had created many legends and controlled the extremely important Massacre Dragon Tomb.
"Long Chen, what are you doing? Let go of Mu Huan. He did not offend you."
Realizing that it was Long Chen, the crowd did not dare to fight him and could only warn him.
"How did he not offend me? He offended me terribly."
Long Chen's cold voice reverberated in the air. For some reason, just this young man standing there made everyone tremble. They felt a sense of awe.
He was still so young.
The crowd was not stupid. When they thought about how the Battle Dragon Tribe called Long Chen their master, they seemed to understand.
Mu Huan's expression changed. He said, "You … you are in charge of the 83 tribes."
Everyone was aware of this problem.
At this moment, they recalled that after Long Chen killed Meng Qingqiu, he had been sent to the Young Dragon Palace. Who would have thought that he would become the teacher of the Battle Dragon Tribe?
This news made Mu Huan extremely nervous. He truly felt fear and knew that the Ninth Clan had fallen this time. As long as there's life, there's hope. At this moment, he hurriedly said with all his might, "Long … Long Chen, everything … is a misunderstanding. I was just joking with this little fellow … Don't get agitated …"
The danger of death made his scalp go numb. His back was covered in cold sweat.
Liang Teng was already able to stand firmly. He stood beside Long Chen. This feeling of surviving a calamity and being in control of the situation gave him a deep understanding. When he saw Mu Huan actually begging for mercy, he understood even more clearly that this was a world where strength was respected.
Without strength, one had no right to speak.
He looked at Long Chen. He was very curious about how Long Chen would handle this.
Hearing Mu Huan's words and the surrounding people's attempts to dissuade him, Long Chen smiled and said, "Should I let you go? It seems like I'm a little unwilling. Everyone, let me ask you. The most important principle of holding this Battle of Potential is fairness, right? This person in my hands threatened the children of my 83 clans before the battle, telling them to feign defeat, or else they would be disbanded or executed. Then, he played this kind of trick during the battle, wanting to kill the disciple that I'm most satisfied with on the spot. Holding such a ceremony, he should be executed, right? This is not a joke. If this is a joke, then I'll play a joke on you as well."
Long Chen said the last sentence to Mu Huan.
Mu Huan shook his head in pain.
He saw a terrifying light in Long Chen's eyes.
The surrounding crowd feared Long Chen's strength and hurriedly said, "Brother Long Chen, don't be angry, don't be angry. This is just a small matter. Let's sit down and discuss it slowly. We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. As for this battle, it will be considered the ninth tribe's loss. How about that?"
Now that Mu Huan was in Long Chen's hands, they had no choice but to temporarily curry favor with Long Chen.
"Alright, we should indeed have a good chat."
Long Chen's lips curled into a cold smile. Hearing this, the crowd finally heaved a sigh of relief. They thought that Long Chen would not do anything to make them worry.
But at this time, Long Chen added, "Of course, I'll have to kill him first, then I'll have a good chat with you guys."
The God-slaying Sword appeared.
A Dao artifact with 400 Dao patterns pierced through Mu Huan's glabella.
The sharp Devouring Sword Qi slashed past and instantly destroyed Mu Huan's Primordial Spirit.
Mu Huan's expression was still that of fear at the last moment. His hands, which were holding onto Long Chen's arm, were already hanging limply.
At that moment, the scene was dead silent. Even the sound of blood dripping could be heard.
Even the Battle Dragon Race looked on in disbelief. This was an important figure in their hearts, an undefeatable existence. Yet, Long Chen had killed him just like that.
"Kill …"
Liang Teng felt his mouth go dry.
The way Long Chen had casually attacked while chatting was a huge blow to him.
Of course, he felt that Mu Huan deserved to die. But he did not expect that such an important figure could not even keep his life in the hands of Long Chen. Furthermore, it was in public.
Why did he have such guts?
Why could he settle debts of gratitude and enmity so easily?
Because he was so powerful that no one dared to provoke him.
That was the reason.
Long Chen's expression was solemn. He tossed the corpse in his hands away and then slowly kept the God Slaying Sword. He lifted his head to look at the crowd and said word by word, "Everyone, do you still want to sit down and chat slowly?"
When he spoke, no one made a sound.
They looked at Mu Huan's corpse in shock, then looked at Long Chen blankly.
"Does anyone think that I'm going overboard?"
Long Chen asked again.
The crowd looked at each other, but no one spoke. Their mouths were dry as they looked at Long Chen. This had happened too suddenly, and in reality, it did not have much to do with them. They knew that Long Chen had killed Meng Qingqiu and was unscathed. They did not dare to fight to the death with Long Chen at this moment. Given Long Chen's personality, if they were defeated, they would most likely lose their lives.
Everyone was afraid of a madman.
When Long Chen looked around, no one dared to move. Even the disciples of the Ninth Clan did not have the courage to curse when they saw that their respected teacher was as weak as they were in Long Chen's hands …
Only then did Long Chen pull Liang Teng to his side. He beckoned to the people of the Battle Dragon Clan. With tears in their eyes, they came to Long Chen's side.
"Raise your heads."
Long Chen berated.
The crowd hurriedly raised their heads in unison and looked at him.
"Wipe away your tears and look at your battlefield."
Hearing this, the crowd hurriedly wiped away their tears. At this moment, Long Chen had become a god in their hearts.
"That's enough."
Long Chen said. Then, he stood in front of them and looked at the experts of the Young Dragon Palace in front of him.
He looked around disdainfully and said in a loud and clear voice, "Everyone, please listen carefully. They are from the Battle Dragon Clan, the new Ninth Clan. They are people that I, Long Chen, have brought. From today onwards, they will enjoy a fair fight. We will only defeat our enemies on the battlefield and will not use any dirty tricks. If anyone tries to play dirty, no matter who it is, they will suffer the same fate as Mu Huan in my hands. Everyone, do you remember?"
These words touched the people of the Battle Dragon Clan more than anything else.
They looked at the young man in front of them in disbelief.
He was the same age as them. Why was he so nature-defying?
