Pine Middle City's arrival was too fast, so fast that it exceeded Long Chen's expectations. This kind of situation was completely out of his expectations.
With Pine Middle City's battle prowess at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier, his arrival was tantamount to announcing the death sentence of Long Chen, Lingxi, and Xiao Lang. Long Chen was barely able to deal with the Ninth Prince, but the gap between him and Pine Middle City was really too wide, so wide that it was unimaginable. Pine Middle City was a top-notch elite of Jade Yang Imperial City. Apart from the three supreme elites of the imperial family, Pine Middle City was considered a peak elite.
Long Chen had killed his most beloved son, so he would make things easy for Long Chen.
At this critical juncture, in an instant, Long Chen decisively made a decision. He pushed away Lingxi, who was in his arms, and held her hand tightly. Then, he looked at Xiao Lang with a resolute gaze, and said, "I will give you a mission. You must rescue Lingxi, or else we can't be brothers."
There was an irresistible force in Long Chen's words. His idea was very simple: let Xiao Lang leave with Lingxi, and he would stay behind to block Pine Middle City. As long as he could let Xiao Lang leave safely with Lingxi, he was willing to do anything.
"Did you hear that? Hurry up and leave with Lingxi. Are you deaf?"
For the first time, Long Chen's expression was ferocious, and he roared crazily at Xiao Lang. Xiao Lang was so frightened that he took two steps back. His eyes glared at Long Chen, but he didn't move.
Seeing that Long Chen was about to really fly into a rage, Lingxi hurriedly pulled him back, and advised, "Chen, Xiao Lang said that he can use this move to trap the people in the future. The price is that he can't use the Ninth Underworld Demonic Ancestral Flame for 10 days."
"What?"
Only then did Long Chen calm down. If there really was such a method, then he wouldn't have to sacrifice himself and could have a perfect ending. This was naturally a good thing in the world.
"How long can you trap him? Xiao Lang, are you sure?" Long Chen asked solemnly.
"Xiao Lang said that because it's the Nine Underworlds Demonic Ancestral Flame, he's using one of his previous battle techniques. The Nine Underworlds Demonic Ancestral Flame is miraculous, and can at least trap a martial artist in the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier for close to six hours. Moreover, it's absolutely stable," Lingxi explained.
Xiao Lang usually didn't lie. In this way, Long Chen was relieved. His mood today was really full of ups and downs …
With Xiao Lang's assurance, Long Chen felt much more relaxed. At this time, he could already see through his Spirit Devouring Demonic Eye that they were about to arrive at the City of the Pine Middle. What surprised Long Chen was that there was a large group of people following behind the City of the Pine Middle. He thought about it, and could roughly guess that the people following behind were probably other members of the Wu Tribe.
The hatred between Long Chen and the Wu Tribe was already too great. He hated this tribe from the bottom of his heart. Moreover, the Wu Tribe had committed many crimes in the vicinity of the Imperial City, and many of their actions were outrageous. This kind of tribe should be completely exterminated. Only then would Long Chen be able to dispel the hatred in his heart.
"Xiao Lang, get ready. We will find an opportunity to trap the City of the Pine Middle later. Us brothers will do something and then we will leave immediately," Long Chen whispered to Xiao Lang, who was already in battle mode.
By the time Xiao Lang nodded, the figure of the City of the Pine Middle had already broken through the lake water surrounding the Golden Fish Island. He had successfully landed on the Golden Fish Island. After a while, another group of Wu Tribe members followed behind him. It was the group that had come to the Golden Fish Island previously and was preparing to exterminate the Golden Fish Island. With so many Wu Tribe members, they could be considered the majority of the Yamato Family's strength.
At this moment, everyone was looking at the two humans and one wolf on the island. Most of them were instantly attracted by Lingxi's beauty and immediately revealed covetous expressions. Only a small portion of them noticed the corpse that had fallen not far away. Although the corpse's tragic state made it difficult for them to associate it with the Ninth Prince, in reality, the Ninth Prince had actually been there just now. After a brief thought, they knew that the Ninth Prince was dead.
After seeing Long Chen, the City of the Pine Middle's killing intent immediately exploded. However, after seeing the Ninth Prince's corpse, his body trembled and he shouted at Long Chen in shock, "You are Long Chen! You killed the Ninth Prince!"
If Song Yuefeng's death was said to be a shock to the Yamato Family, then this news was like a heavy bomb to the entire Bi Yang Imperial City. It wasn't just the City of the Pine Middle. Even the other Wu Tribe members didn't have the time to look at Lingxi's beauty anymore. Instead, they looked at Long Chen in shock.
Even they had to bow and scrape in front of the Ninth Prince. How could a small fry like Long Chen actually kill the Ninth Prince? This matter caused a huge conflict in their beliefs. Everyone found it hard to believe.
"You are right. Not only did I kill that idiot son of yours, that trash called Song Yuefeng, I also killed that shameless toad, Lin Cangtian. What can you do to me, Song Zhongcheng?" Long Chen had confidence in his heart, so he smiled and said indifferently.
Song Zhongcheng didn't say anything.
He looked Long Chen up and down with his gloomy eyes. He couldn't help but re-evaluate this young man. When he had first entered the Ni Yang Immortal's Realm, Long Chen was just a little guy at the second level of the Heavenly River Tier. He didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, in less than half a month, he would advance by leaps and bounds, and even do something that would shock the entire Cang Yang Country.
The Ninth Prince didn't die in the hands of the Heavenly Devil Palace, but died in the hands of his own subordinate. If this matter were to spread, he would definitely become a laughingstock.
Song Zhongcheng was also thinking about what kind of shock this would cause if this matter were to spread to the Imperial City.
"I originally wanted to kill you directly, but it seems that I can't. You killed the Ninth Prince, so you must be handed over to the Imperial Family to be dealt with. You should be glad, because this way, you can live for about half a day more." After Song Zhongcheng finished speaking, he walked towards Long Chen with a gloomy look.
He didn't give Long Chen much chance to speak. In his opinion, it was a simple matter to control Long Chen and send him to the Imperial City.
"Actually, in my opinion, the Wu Tribe is a group of things that are even worse than beasts."
At this juncture of life and death, Long Chen didn't seem to be afraid at all. He looked Song Zhongcheng up and down, and said, "Look at you, how short you are. You don't even reach my chest. Look at your face, how wretched you look. Your legs are practically no different from the legs of a wild boar. These are the legs of a bowler, so ugly. It's really unbelievable that such an ugly tribe like you exists in this world."
After he finished speaking, Long Chen looked at the group of people from the Wu Tribe with a look of disdain.
"I really can't find anyone who looks good," Long Chen said, feeling speechless.
"Idiot, brat, shut your mouth. If you speak again, I'll tear your mouth apart."
"That's right, we of the Wu Tribe are all handsome and elegant. We are not as unbearable as you say …" As he spoke, his voice became softer and softer. It seemed like he was becoming less and less confident.
"You are courting death. You want me to kill you? It seems like you are afraid of falling into the hands of the imperial family."
Song Zhongcheng didn't move when he saw that Long Chen was intentionally provoking him. He was extremely thick-skinned, so of course, he wouldn't be angered by a few words from Long Chen.
"You are thinking too much. I just felt that you guys are too ugly and sighed from the bottom of my heart. In any case, you guys are really too short and ugly, so I don't care what others say about you. In my opinion, the Wu Tribe can't be considered humans at all. You guys probably haven't even grown to look like humans. I think you guys are the combination of a gorilla and a baboon, a monster born from it." After Long Chen finished speaking, he laughed out loud.
"Idiot, brat, you are courting death."
"You are the gorilla."
The killing power of Long Chen's words was too great. The people of the Wu Tribe couldn't help but rub their palms together and follow behind Song Zhongcheng. They were about to pounce on Long Chen.
Long Chen's words were too unpleasant to hear. Even Song Zhongcheng frowned deeply. He didn't want to give Long Chen a chance to speak. Thus, without saying anything, his body suddenly disappeared into the distance. He turned into a blurry shadow and rushed toward Long Chen.
This speed was something that Long Chen couldn't compare to.
"Xiao Lang, do it." At this critical juncture, Long Chen stopped laughing and his gaze turned ice-cold.
When Song Zhongcheng made a move, Xiao Lang was already prepared. As soon as Song Zhongcheng made his move, Xiao Lang let out a roar. In an instant, an ice-cold aura swept toward the Wu Tribe. The vigorous Nine Underworld Demon Ancestral Flame was like a fiery lotus that shot out of Xiao Lang's mouth. This fiery lotus enveloped Song Zhongcheng at an extremely fast speed.
"What is this?"
Song Zhongcheng was shocked. When he sensed the terrifying aura of this fiery lotus, he finally understood why Long Chen had been so unbridled. However, he was very close to Long Chen. At such a close distance, the fiery lotus enveloped a very large area. When Song Zhongcheng unleashed his palm strike, the fiery lotus had already enveloped him completely.
"Idiot." Song Zhongcheng's last words came out of the fiery lotus.
It was more daunting than dangerous.
Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he finally trapped Song Zhongcheng. At the same time, his expression changed. He knew that the best thing to do now was to escape. However, sacrificing some time would allow him to get rid of more scum. He was willing to do such a thing.
"Little Xi, close your eyes. I will take you away after a while. Xiao Lang, you look tired. Let your divine flame clone work with me."
Long Chen used his Dragon Soul Transformation. He held the Blue Dragon Halberd in his hand as he stared coldly at the Wu Tribe. He had been sloppy when he had been mocking the Wu Tribe. However, now that he had successfully trapped Song Zhongcheng, a thick murderous aura erupted from his body again.
"Chen …" Lingxi wanted to say something but stopped herself.
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
After comforting Lingxi and waiting for Lingxi to obediently close her eyes, Long Chen signaled to Xiao Lang and rushed toward the Wu Tribe without hesitation.
When the Wu Tribe saw that Song Zhongcheng had been trapped by the strange fiery lotus, they turned pale with fright. They didn't know what to do and looked at each other in dismay. When Long Chen charged toward them, they were naturally not afraid because they had more people.
"Let's capture this brat first," Song Zhongcheng ordered.
At this moment, Long Chen's eyes turned cold.
"Devouring the Blood World …"
