"Good boy."
After Lingxi closed her eyes, Long Chen raised his Blue Dragon Halberd and pointed it at Jiang Cheng. At this moment, Jiang Cheng was on the verge of death. He could barely stand in front of Long Chen. He looked at Long Chen with fear and despair. He knew that Long Chen wanted to kill him, but he didn't know how to do it.
"You punched me five times."
Long Chen walked in front of him and said softly, "I've never been willing to lose. You punched me five times, so I'll have to cut you six times before I'm satisfied. Piercing your abdomen was already the first time. This is the second time."
With a swoosh, the Blue Dragon Halberd directly chopped off one of Jiang Cheng's arms. The arm flew out and landed in the middle of the battlefield between Xiao Lang and the third commander. That arm was still trembling, causing the beautiful woman whose hair was burnt to a crisp to scream.
She wanted to help, but the wolf cub turned around and stopped her.
Long Chen's resurrection had filled Xiao Lang with fighting spirit. Xiao Lang knew that if he couldn't even defeat this woman in a normal battle, he wouldn't have the face to see Long Chen again.
Howl.
The frenzied attacks forced the third commander to retreat.
"Old man, now it's your turn to say that I'm out of energy. Do you dare to say it?" Long Chen smiled faintly.
In fact, Jiang Cheng was almost dead. The pain had tortured him to the point that he was hovering between life and death. Losing one more arm didn't matter to him.
Of course, he couldn't speak. He slowly fell to the ground and stared blankly at the sky. His eyes were filled with endless fear and despair.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Long Chen chopped off his other arm for the third time.
Jiang Cheng's body started to twitch.
"Fourth, fifth."
These two times, Jiang Cheng's legs were chopped off. At this moment, Jiang Cheng was one step closer to death. His eyes started to turn white.
"Forget it, I'll give you a quick death."
The sixth time, the Blue Dragon War Halberd chopped off Rivervale's neck. Looking at the mutilated corpse, Long Chen smiled helplessly.
"No one can underestimate me, no one can defeat me."
Although his voice wasn't loud, it was filled with boundless pride.
The third lieutenant screamed as the flames of Xiao Lang's Divine Flame clone engulfed her. She had never been a match for Xiao Lang, and now that Jiang Cheng had died, her heart was filled with despair. Before long, she had been burned to a crisp by the Divine Flame clone. Her fate was similar to Jiang Cheng's.
Xiao Lang exited combat mode and fell to the ground, panting heavily. Long Chen forced himself to take a few more steps and arrived in front of Lingxi. The two men and one wolf looked at each other and smiled as if they had just survived a disaster.
At this moment, Long Chen fell to the ground.
"Long Chen."
Ling Xi jumped in fright. She hurriedly helped Long Chen up and looked at him in a panic. Tears almost flowed out of her eyes. There was too much blood on Long Chen's body. As a result, all of it was smeared on Ling Xi's body. She was almost completely covered in blood.
Xiao Lang also rushed over in panic. He knew that although Long Chen didn't die under the terrifying attack of Jiang Cheng, he was definitely seriously injured.
"I'm fine."
In Lingxi's soft arms, Long Chen quickly forced a smile. He was worried that these two fellows would lose their sense of propriety because of him. However, the truth was that Long Chen was already on the verge of death. This time, he was also infinitely close to death. However, because of the terrifying physique of this body, he managed to survive time and time again. Even without Energy Restoration, his body was gradually regenerating under the nourishment of the blood. Long Chen knew that this was all the credit of the inherited blood essence. Moreover, it was that one-thousandth of the inherited blood essence.
"Bastard, you're about to die and you still say you're fine? Sob sob …" Lingxi wiped Long Chen's blood on her face. After today, Long Chen's figure was deeply engraved in her soul and could never be erased. Now, she knew that there was a reason why Long Chen forcefully endured the five punches of the opponent.
Only when the opponent finished the five punches and thought that Long Chen would die, would Long Chen have the chance to kill him in one blow when the opponent relaxed.
That had been a crazy gamble. But Long Chen had made the right bet, and so he was still alive. As for the seven commanders of the Imperial City's guards, six of them had already died. Those who had come to kill Long Chen had all died.
If this news spread out, it would definitely cause a sensation in the entire Cangyang Country. Long Chen's name would become even more famous.
"Elixirs …" This was a critical moment. Moreover, this was not a safe place. Therefore, the most important thing for Long Chen now was to recover from his serious injuries.
There were many elixirs in the Cosmos Sack. They were collected from the Ninth Prince. There were also many elixirs in the Middle Earth Rank. Long Chen immediately took out a Green Jade Spirit Fruit and put it in his mouth. The Green Jade Spirit Fruit turned into a clear stream and was swallowed by him. It helped to nourish his body's rebirth.
However, Long Chen's injuries were so serious that a Green Jade Spirit Fruit couldn't help him. Fortunately, because of this Green Jade Spirit Fruit, Long Chen was pulled back from the edge of death.
"Let's go first. There are still many Imperial City Guards outside. We need to travel as far as possible before we can escape. Therefore, we can't delay."
"But, Chen, your injuries …" Lingxi said anxiously.
"It doesn't matter. I can refine the elixirs in Xiao Lang's body …" Long Chen rubbed her head and said with a forced smile.
He struggled, and with Ling Xi's support, he gradually stood up.
Just at this moment, the wolf cub's hair stood on end and it abruptly looked forward. Long Chen also raised his head to look. At this time, a person in black slowly walked out from behind a nearby boulder. This person was dressed in black from head to toe and her head was covered with a thick black cloak. It was impossible to make out her facial features. However, judging from her figure, she should be a young girl.
"Don't panic. I'm not an enemy."
The girl said as she gradually approached. From her voice, Long Chen estimated that she should be about the same age as him. However, this girl's mind was more mature. Her tone was also more mature.
"What's the matter?"
Long Chen guessed that this person should have been lying in wait at the side for a long time. Because he was focused on dealing with Jiang City, he didn't notice her presence immediately. However, why had she been watching from the side for so long?
"I know you're suspicious of me. There's no need at all. Let me tell you, I was the one who injured that Earth Demon Tyrannosaurus. It escaped through the ground, and I chased after it. I didn't think that it would benefit you in the end." The girl stopped 10 meters away from Long Chen.
Long Chen was shocked. This girl wasn't old, but she was able to defeat the Earth Demon Tyrannosaurus without suffering any injuries. Didn't that mean that her battle prowess was at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier? It seemed like there was only one such young expert in the Imperial City, and that was Lin Zichen.
"I'll be straightforward. I know your name, Long Chen, right? You've caused quite a commotion these few days, and the news has already spread throughout the Cangyang Nation. I don't want to interfere in the matters between you and the Imperial Family. However, I have to remind you that with your current injuries, if you don't use high-grade Earth-level Spirit Medicine to treat them, there's a high chance that there will be hidden injuries that will negatively affect your future cultivation. I have high-grade Earth-level Spirit Medicine, and I can give it to you. However, I need the Beast Spirit of the Earth Demon Tyrannosaurus.
Can I exchange it with you? "Long Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Frankly speaking, the conditions that this girl had proposed were actually very advantageous to Long Chen. With her abilities, if she forcefully snatched it, Long Chen wouldn't be able to stop her at all. Moreover, the Beast Spirit of the Earth Demon Tyrannosaurus belonged to her in the first place. Long Chen had merely snatched the fruits of her battle.
After advancing to the fifth level of the Heavenly River Tier, Long Chen took advantage of the time to collect the Beast Spirit of the Earth Demon Tyrannosaurus. At this moment, he took out a Soul Concentration Orb from his Cosmos Sack and directly threw it at the girl.
The girl caught the Soul Concentration Orb, and without another word, she threw a jade box to Long Chen, saying, "Refine it as soon as possible. I'll remind you again, it seems like the Wu Tribe has already mobilized their entire tribe, and they're threatening to kill you in front of the Imperial City Guards. There are martial artists at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier among the Wu Tribe, so you'd better be careful."
After saying this, the girl directly left in a flash.
"Thank you," Long Chen said at the end.
It could be seen that this girl was helping them. Not only did she give Long Chen a high-grade Earth Tier Spirit Medicine, but she also told this important news to Long Chen. It wasn't important who this mysterious girl was. What was important was that even more trouble was looming over Long Chen's head.
"Chen, what should we do?" Lingxi shivered in the night wind.
"Let's go, Xiao Lang. Sorry for troubling you," Long Chen said with a resolute look in his eyes. He would deal with the situation as it came. He had never been afraid of the Wu Tribe.
Because he hadn't protected Lingxi well, he had caused such a difficult situation today. Xiao Lang had always been a little ashamed. Now that he had a use for him, he hurriedly got up and revealed his battle form. He directly carried Long Chen and Lingxi on his back.
After recalling the map, Long Chen pointed in a direction and asked Xiao Lang to move in that direction.
As Xiao Lang moved forward at full speed, Long Chen opened the Earth Tier Spirit Medicine that the mysterious girl had given him.
"High-grade Earth Tier, White Lotus Heart." A faint fragrance of lotus flowers wafted over.
"Little Xi, this Spirit Medicine smells exactly like you." Long Chen smiled faintly.
Lingxi lowered her head, feeling a little sad.
"It's because of this rotten smell that you're in danger." Lingxi bit her lips, her eyes filled with endless self-blame.
"What are you thinking about, silly."
Long Chen patted her head and looked at the endless sky. After a night of fighting, the sky had just brightened. Behind them, the sun was slowly rising in the east, its golden rays gradually covering the earth.
"Lil 'Xi, remember this …" Long Chen smiled as the sunlight shone on his face, making him look even more dazzling than before.
"All of my enemies, all of my tribulations, are the driving force behind my growth. One day, all of my enemies will be trampled under my feet, and all of my tribulations will be crushed by me. At that time, you will realize that your man, Long Chen, will be the strongest existence in this world, or even countless worlds."
Lingxi looked at him excitedly, her eyes filled with love and worship.
After a night of running, her frail body stayed by Long Chen's side.
