Everyone's gaze was focused on Long Chen. Even though they were far away, many people could sense the terrifying killing intent radiating from Long Chen's body. When Xiao Lang had become like this because he had tried to save him, Long Chen was completely infuriated.
Wherever his gaze swept past, all the members of the Wu Tribe retreated in fear.
Song Zhong Cheng also stared at Long Chen in bewilderment. Soon after, he reacted and said, "What's going on today? Why is everyone burning their life force in front of me? Even Xiao Lang didn't last long. How long can you last, Long Chen?"
"It's enough to take your life."
Long Chen finally fixed his gaze on Song Zhong Cheng as he said this calmly. His hoarse voice caused the members of the Wu Tribe to look at each other in dismay. They all felt a chill run down their spines.
"Trying to act mysterious."
Song Zhong Cheng smiled disdainfully. He jumped down from the roof and swung the dagger in his hand. "Do you know that this is the high-grade earth-grade Hell King's Blade? It's the highest-grade weapon of the Wu Tribe. When I dealt with you just now, I showed mercy and didn't stab your heart. Next time, it will definitely appear in your heart."
"Is that so?" Long Chen's killing intent exploded as he looked at Song Zhong Cheng.
His True Energy, which surpassed Song Zhong Cheng's, exploded and instantly swept away the surrounding smoke and dust.
"Insignificant tricks. Using your life force to improve yourself will definitely end badly. In that case, let me show you the strongest move of Song Zhong Cheng."
Song Zhong Cheng's entire body erupted with the aura of an elite at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier as he held the Hell King's Blade. True Energy surged wildly in his body as the Hell King's Blade in his hand drew a strange pattern.
"Secret technique, Hell King's Phantom Godly Killing Technique."
A sharp cry echoed in everyone's ears. The Hell King's Blade seemed to emit a faint sound. Then, the world seemed to stop. And at this moment, Song Zhongcheng's figure turned into countless phantoms that blotted out the sky and covered the earth as they charged towards Long Chen.
The entire world seemed to be engulfed in darkness. The only thing that could be seen was the Hell King's Blade in Song Zhongcheng's hand. The Hell King's Blade was like a deadly ray of light that wrapped around Long Chen's neck.
"Your strongest move is only at this level." Long Chen's lips curled into a faint smile.
"Engulfing Blood World …" That scarlet mist that looked like a swimming dragon instantly enveloped Songzhong City tightly, causing him to panic. He had experienced Long Chen's Engulfing Blood World before, but it definitely wasn't as terrifying as this. That suffocating Devouring Heart acted on him, who was in the midst of unleashing his strongest move. Since he was defenseless, there was a slight flaw in the Netherworld King's Mirage Killing Technique.
Furthermore, there was a flaw right in front of Long Chen.
"You're too slow."
Long Chen's cold laughter rang in Songzhong City's ears at this moment. It was as though it was ringing right next to his ear. Songzhong City was taken aback. He could feel that because of the Engulfing Blood World, his movements had slowed down. And at this moment, Long Chen disappeared before his eyes.
Boom!
Making use of the terrifying suction force of the Engulfing Blood World and controlling Songzhong City's speed, Long Chen flashed to his right and landed a heavy punch on his armpit.
Pa!
A bone-shattering sound that made one's scalp go numb was heard.
Songzhong City let out a blood-curdling scream. His armpit had been hit, and the Hell King's Blade in his hand flew out and landed in Long Chen's hand.
"You're too slow."
As Songzhong City watched in horror, Long Chen disappeared before his eyes once again. This time, Long Chen was holding the Hell King's Blade like a devil in the night.
To be honest, Long Chen's speed wasn't considered fast. It should be about the same as Songzhong City's. The problem was that in the Engulfing Blood World, Songzhong City's speed was suppressed by two-thirds. The huge suction force had also suppressed his True Qi by two-thirds.
As a result, a shocking situation occurred. Songzhong City was clumsily being abused by Long Chen's Engulfing Blood World.
"You stabbed me with a knife, and I, Long Chen, have always compensated you with one knife. So, I'll compensate you with ten knives. Damn you, Wu Clan, enjoy."
Pfft!
The Hell King's Blade in his hand pierced Songzhong City's lower abdomen. Songzhong City let out an earth-shattering scream, but Long Chen couldn't be bothered with him. He followed up with a stab that pierced Songzhong City's lungs.
Fresh blood gushed out.
In the Engulfing Blood World, Songzhong City's screams caused all the Wu Clan members to fall to the ground in fright. Such a terrifying Long Chen scared them so much that they lost their ability to think. They didn't know that they could still escape at this moment.
When Songzhong City let out his ninth scream, Long Chen's final strike directly chopped off his head. His fat and large head fell beside the Wu Clan members, causing them to let out a series of screams.
Songzhong City, who was at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier, had died at the hands of Long Chen. This piece of heavy news would once again shock the entire Cangyang Nation.
The death of the strongest member of the Yamato Clan stunned all the Wu Clan members. They all knelt in front of Long Chen in a panic and wailed.
"Spare us, God, spare us. I'm willing to offer my assets, my wife, and my underage daughter to you."
"That's right, please spare us. We're willing to follow you. All the assets of our Wu Clan are yours. All the women of our Wu Clan are also yours."
Voices begging for mercy rose and fell in succession.
"You're just a bunch of beasts …" Long Chen sneered as he stood in front of them. "Let me tell you what it means to be courageous, to have backbone, to have assets, and to have assets, no one can take away my things. Women, women are meant to be protected, and I'm protecting my women today. What about you? You're willing to give up your women for your own lives. Wu Clan, haha, you Wu Clan members don't even have the right to be called humans. You're just uncivilized beasts. If I let you live in this world, you'll only harm more people, including more of my people. So, if you want me to spare you, you're dreaming."
Long Chen used the Hell King's Blade of the Wu Clan to kill a Wu Clan member every time he swung his sword. Within the range of the Devouring World of Blood, no one could escape death. When all the people kneeling on the ground had collapsed and blood flowed like a river, Long Chen came back to his senses.
He was so ruthless. On one hand, the Wu Clan was really despicable. On the other hand, Long Chen hated them to the core. Of course, there was also the influence of the Primordial Blood Spiritual Dragon.
Today, almost all the forces of the Yamato Clan had come to capture Long Chen. Now, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the entire Yamato Clan had been completely annihilated by Long Chen.
Long Chen had destroyed the entire Yamato Clan with his own strength.
This news would spread from today onwards. Then, the entire Cangyang Nation would be shocked by Long Chen. Being able to kill a martial artist at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier meant that Long Chen had grown to the point where he was second only to the Young Sword Emperor, Lin Zichen, among the young martial artists.
In Clearwater City, all the onlookers widened their eyes when they saw the tragic scene. They looked at the only young man still standing, their faces filled with disbelief.
Long Chen.
This name was firmly engraved in everyone's mind.
"This lad has already reached a level that defies the natural order. We, the lowly commoners, can only look up to him …" The mayor of Clearwater City stroked his long beard, his eyes filled with shock as he lamented.
"He has been on the run since the Imperial City. He has killed the six commanders of the Imperial City Guards. Now, he has destroyed one of the three major clans, the Yamato Clan, with his own strength. With such a great achievement, his name will definitely be passed down through the ages. He might even be more famous than Lin Zichen."
"Father."
The young girl beside him looked at the young man in the distance with flickering eyes. She said worriedly, "Do you think Long Chen can escape? I heard you say that there is a mysterious person involved in this matter."
"That person …" The mayor of Clearwater City shook his head. "Long Chen pales in comparison to his strength. I hope this lad is lucky and won't be stopped."
The young girl's eyes darted around. When she looked at the stubborn Long Chen again, she nodded and secretly made up her mind.
"I have to go and warn him."
At this moment, the effects of the blood sacrifice were slowly fading for Long Chen. Long Chen could feel that his strength was slowly returning to the third level of the Heavenly River Tier.
The battle prowess of the third level of the Heavenly River Tier was practically trash against other opponents. Thus, the current Long Chen was already prepared. He had used the Hell King's Blade to deal with the crowd just now with this goal in mind.
At the moment of life and death, Long Chen could no longer care about anything else. The fresh blood of the Wu Tribe was the guarantee that he could survive and protect Lingxi. Thus, he had no choice but to use the Devouring World of Blood to gather all the fresh blood, including the blood of the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier, Song Zhong City, into his body.
After using the blood sacrifice, his battle prowess rose by two levels, and then fell back by two levels. The road ahead was probably going to be difficult, so Long Chen gritted his teeth and used the Blood Refining Qi again.
The blood of many elites allowed the shattered galaxy in Long Chen's body to slowly form again. Time passed slowly. When all the Wu Tribe members had turned into dried corpses, Long Chen's True Qi gradually recovered and returned to the fifth level of the Heavenly River Tier. It was even advancing towards the sixth level of the Heavenly River Tier.
The 100,000 Heaven River Pills that he had obtained from the Ninth Prince were gradually consumed.
"With so much True Qi, it looks like I have to break through to the sixth level of the Heavenly River Tier."
Since he was going to be ruthless, he would be ruthless to the end. This was a crucial period, so Long Chen didn't mind being ruthless. However, he knew that after this disaster, he had to learn how to cultivate steadily.
