This was the first time the people of Jiang City heard the name Long Chen. Jiang City was too far away from Bi Yang Imperial City, so basically no one had heard of Long Chen. However, from today onwards, they would remember this person.
As for the three thousand Ghost Horse Heavy Cavalry and the eight generals, they were so shocked that they couldn't say a word.
The Imperial Guards and the Garrison Army were originally two competing systems. When the Six Generals of the Garrison Army died in the hands of Long Chen, they grieved for him. They didn't expect that the legendary Long Chen not only returned, but also returned in such a terrifying way. He snuck into Ni Yang's Fairyland, killed the Sword Demon, stole the Heaven Level Spiritual Medicine, and then snuck into the Imperial Palace to lure Lin Zichen here. How many people would dare to do such a thing?
Especially the eight Generals, they all looked at each other.
"Big Brother, what should we do?" the others asked.
"Long Chen could kill Lord Sword Demon, so he should be able to fight against the Fourth Prince. Let's return to the Eldest Prince's side and protect him. I originally thought that the Eldest Prince would lose power, but now it seems that it's still possible," the eighth level Heaven River Tier warrior named Qian Jiang said solemnly.
"How is that possible? The Fourth Prince killed the ninth level Earth Level Demonic Beast so easily. With his strength, even 10 Long Chen wouldn't be a match for him." Qian Jiang had just finished his words when someone immediately argued.
"I don't believe it either. The Fourth Prince Lin Zichen is a legend. My father said that he could probably reach the level of the Sword Emperor in less than five years."
"Now is not the time to argue. Let's retreat before they start fighting," Qian Jiang said hurriedly as he didn't have time to discuss with them.
When the Ghost Horse Heavy Cavalry gradually returned to Jiang City, only Long Chen and Lin Zichen were left on the huge battlefield. Everyone stood on the city wall and watched the confrontation between the two most powerful young men of the Cangyang Kingdom.
This was a pinnacle battle, and also the strongest opponent that Long Chen had faced so far. Lin Zichen knew the Heaven Level Movement Technique, controlled the Emperor Sword, and was familiar with the Emperor Sword Principle. He was almost the same as Long Chen.
All eyes were on him.
Their auras rose rapidly. Long Chen was still at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier, so he was temporarily inferior to Lin Zichen.
"Eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier, you really overestimate yourself."
Lin Zichen sneered, and the True Energy of the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier suddenly burst forth. A powerful wave of air swept towards Long Chen, and the dust and blood clots in the surroundings were all shaken away.
Long Chen didn't say a word. At this moment, he used his Dragon Soul Transformation. The blood-red dragon scales and sharp bone spikes covered his entire body, turning him into a human-shaped battle machine. Long Chen's aura continued to rise. His body trembled and the dust around him exploded. His aura was no weaker than Lin Zichen's.
"Such powerful True Energy. You've also reached the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier."
Lin Zichen frowned when he felt the powerful aura from Long Chen. However, this didn't scare him. Long Chen's strength had always been mysterious, sometimes high and sometimes low. Even before they went to Mount Demonic Emperor, Long Chen had already shown that he had the strength to fight with Lin Zichen.
"Even if our True Energy is the same, with my ability as a sword martial artist, I can explode with the power of three levels of True Energy. Your True Energy, Long Chen's, is really nothing." Lin Zichen laughed loudly, and his laughter echoed in everyone's ears.
At this moment, everyone was staring at the two of them and listening to their conversation. They were afraid that they would miss any detail of this historic moment.
"Long Chen actually has the same True Energy as Lin Zichen. This means that he has always been at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier. He really knows how to endure. However, Lin Zichen is a heaven-defying sword martial artist. The Sword Spirit in his Emperor Sword can explode with three times his strength. How can Long Chen be a match for him?"
To be honest, Lin Batian really hoped that Long Chen would kill Lin Zichen so that he would be the next successor of the Cangyang Kingdom.
Of course, the premise was that Long Chen didn't kill him first.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Long Chen. They wanted to know how Long Chen would respond to Lin Zichen's words.
"Are you saying that my True Energy is not as good as yours?" With a cold laugh, Long Chen raised his arm.
"Great Skill of Dao Heart Demonic Seed, activate …" Under Long Chen's control, the Great Skill of Dao Heart Demonic Seed was activated. Moreover, it was the second level. With the release of the demonic seed, Long Chen's True Energy skyrocketed and surpassed Lin Zichen's in one go. It reached four times the previous level, completely suppressing Lin Zichen.
"What, the second level of the Great Skill of Dao Heart Demonic Seed?"
This time, Lin Zichen was really shocked. Even if Long Chen had reached the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier, he would still be able to suppress him. However, Long Chen had used the Great Skill of Dao Heart Demonic Seed. In terms of True Energy, Lin Zichen was no longer a match for him.
Ever since he was young, he had never been surpassed by anyone in any aspect. Today, he was suddenly inferior to Long Chen in one aspect, and this made him very unhappy.
"Looks like you have entered the Heaven Demon Palace and obtained the inheritance of the Great Skill of Dao Heart Demonic Seed. With your current strength, you should be the number one disciple of the Heaven Demon Palace. I heard that there is a Demon Emperor Sword in the Heaven Demon Palace that is comparable to my Emperor Sword. I wonder if you, Long Chen, are qualified to obtain it?" Lin Zichen asked provocatively.
In his opinion, Long Chen was only an outsider in the Heaven Demon Palace. Obtaining the Great Skill of Dao Heart Demonic Seed was already very impressive. The Demon Emperor Sword was something that was passed down to every Palace Master of the Heaven Demon Palace. It was impossible for Long Chen to have it.
However, he was really wrong this time. When Lin Zichen took out the Emperor Sword from his Cosmos Sack, a black divine sword that looked similar to the Emperor Sword appeared in Long Chen's hand. Long Chen raised the Emperor Sword and pointed it at Lin Zichen. He smiled lightly and said, "I'm sorry, it might be out of your expectations. I used this Demon Emperor Sword to directly break the Sword Demon's Ninth Heaven Battle Sword and took his life."
Once the Emperor Sword was out, who could compete with it? However, when Long Chen took out the Demon Emperor Sword, the Emperor Sword, the legendary number one divine weapon of the Cangyang Kingdom, was no longer the only one. At least, Lin Batian and the others could see that the divine sword in Long Chen's hand that looked exactly like the Emperor Sword did not seem to be any weaker than the Emperor Sword.
Lin Zichen, who had originally thought that he could easily kill Long Chen, started to look very serious because of the appearance of the Demon Emperor Sword.
The ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier, the Great Skill of Dao Heart Demonic Seed, and the Demon Emperor Sword all showed that Long Chen had obtained the highest level inheritance of the Heaven Demon Palace. He had become the first person in history who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Lin Zichen had never thought that there would be such a person in this world. He had always stood at the peak, but unknowingly, there was someone standing next to him, who was basically on par with him. How could Lin Zichen get used to this?
At this time, Lin Zichen had already developed a strong desire to kill Long Chen. Putting aside the fact that Long Chen had to kill him, the current Long Chen had already grown to the extent that he was afraid of him. If he did not kill Long Chen now, who knew what would happen in a few years? At that time, he might really be killed by Long Chen.
Lin Zichen slowly raised the Emperor Sword.
At this moment, everyone's attention was on them. Seeing that they were finally going to make their move, everyone looked up in anticipation. Among them, Lin Batian was the most nervous person.
"Long Chen is good. He is holding the legendary Demon Emperor Sword of the Heaven Demon Palace. If I am not wrong, Long Chen is going to become the successor of the Heaven Demon Palace. This is a battle between the two strongest young elites of the Cangyang Country." Lin Batian was extremely excited when he thought of this.
At this moment, tens of thousands of people exclaimed in surprise. This was because at this time, Long Chen and Lin Zichen were going to make their move.
Long Chen had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
It could almost be said that when he entered the Heaven Demon Palace and began to cultivate with all his might, it was for this moment, the moment to kill Lin Zichen.
Rumble.
The battle had just begun, and the whole battlefield was shaking under their might. In an instant, yellow sand was flying wildly, and the corpses of the demonic beasts and martial artists that had not been cleaned up were swept away by the strong wind. Whistling sounds could be heard in the battlefield.
Clang.
An ear-piercing sound was heard. The two most heaven-defying weapons of the Cangyang Country clashed for the first time in many years. A dazzling light flashed, and both Long Chen and Lin Zichen retreated. Then, in the next moment, two figures flashed on the battlefield and began to attack each other crazily.
For a moment, the crowd could not see anything. They could not even see who the figures were. The only thing they could see were a black and a gold sword, dancing rapidly on the battlefield.
"Emperor Sword Qi."
With a whistling sound, the attack that Lin Zichen used to deal with the Darkmoon Tiger was directed towards Long Chen. The ground along the way was slashed by the Emperor Sword Qi, leaving deep ravines. Seeing such a fierce attack, the crowd's hearts were in their throats, because Long Chen was now exposed to the Emperor Sword Qi.
"Traceless Specter."
At this moment, Long Chen, who was originally a phantom, turned into an invisible shadow. The Emperor Sword Qi did not hit him at all, and it flew into the distance until it dissipated. At this moment, the crowd could see an almost invisible shadow spinning rapidly towards Lin Zichen. Rays of Imperial Demon Sword Qi that were no weaker than Lin Zichen's Emperor Sword Qi appeared out of nowhere and attacked Lin Zichen crazily.
"Heaven Level Body Movement Combat Skill, Traceless Specter."
Lin Zichen was shocked again. He had a premonition that Long Chen might even know Traceless Specter, but he did not expect Long Chen to really know it. Moreover, when he used it, it was not as rusty as Lin Zichen's Divine Movement Nine Palace Steps.
Long Chen already knew two of the three secret skills of the Sky Devil Palace. Could it be that Long Chen knew the last one?
Lin Zichen's expression became even more solemn.
