Long Chen's words were like a heavy hammer that struck Lingxi's soul. Lingxi was speechless for a moment. She stared blankly at Long Chen, who was panting heavily. His eyes were bloodshot, filled with stubbornness and an unyielding spirit. Lingxi was completely lost in his eyes. She didn't understand why she would meet such a stubborn man in her life. From his eyes to his bones, there was never the word 'surrender'. Either die or win, this was Long Chen's creed. He had always been winning, and his enemies were all dead.
But now, the Cangyang Kingdom only had one Sword Emperor left, and that was his enemy.
This was how Long Chen climbed up step by step. He looked weak, but no one was able to stop his footsteps.
At this moment, Lingxi was completely overwhelmed by emotions. She felt that she was so blessed. Perhaps Long Chen's heart was higher than the heavens, or perhaps he didn't know the immensity of the heavens and earth. Others would also think so, but at this moment, Lingxi firmly believed that Long Chen would definitely do what he said. If he didn't do it, then there was only one possibility, and that was that Long Chen was already dead.
"Little Xi, do you know what this means? It means that no matter what the final result is, I will still work hard to chase after you. You are my woman, at this moment, and for all eternity. Tell me, why did I let you escape from my palm?"
Lingxi's mouth opened and closed, but no words came out. "Don't say anymore.
"Say no more. I've already made up my mind. I must go to Biyang Imperial City. I must participate in the battle against the Sword Emperor. I must obtain the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit. You must help me recover your body. If I'm unlucky and your family comes looking for me to bring you back, then please tell me your home address. I, Long Chen, will kill my way over in a grand manner. I'll kill gods and devils in my way until the day comes when I can hold your hands again."
Facing the sky, Long Chen uttered such heroic words.
The determination in Long Chen's eyes had been deeply engraved in Lingxi's heart. She originally thought that as long as she talked to Long Chen, Long Chen would choose to give up, but she really didn't understand him. At this time, Lingxi understood a lot. She also knew that Long Chen had always been stubborn. Once he decided on something, it was impossible for him to change it.
Therefore, no matter what, no matter how Lingxi tried to persuade him, Long Chen would kill his way back to the Imperial City, obtain the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit, and seize his dream for the past half a year.
For the Nine Heavens Immortal Spirit Fruit, Long Chen had set off from Yuan Ling City and fought for almost half a year. At the last moment, Lingxi had spoken of such a cruel reality. One could imagine how much of a blow this was to Long Chen. However, Long Chen didn't retreat at all. He was only sad for a while, then he became firm in his goal.
In the face of the cruel reality, Long Chen was an unkillable cockroach. This was why he had made such progress today.
Xiao Lang silently watched their conversation. When Long Chen said the last word, he revealed a knowing smile because he knew that this was Long Chen, his big brother.
Long Chen dared to say such a thing, but it didn't mean that he didn't feel pain in his heart. Some words were easy to say, but to achieve them, one had to put in thousands of times more effort. If Lingxi was really taken away, he had already promised that he would find the place where Lingxi was and obtain the approval of her family with his true strength. However, to achieve this, Long Chen would have to travel thousands of mountains and rivers, kill thousands of experts, and wander on the edge of life and death thousands of times with only a trace of hope.
The most likely scenario was that Long Chen would die in some inconspicuous corner and turn into a pile of bones. He and Lingxi would never see each other again. This was fate. Sometimes, life was cruel. Those who could defy the heavens and change their fate were few and far between.
Long Chen already knew in his heart that because of today's decision, because of the vow he made today, he could only walk this path. In other words, his future was already limited for a very long time.
Before he found the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit, Long Chen worked hard for it. But after he found the fruit, he was about to lose his beautiful dream of bringing Lingxi with him to roam the world. He had no choice but to embark on this journey, and it was an incomparably lonely journey. He was resolutely struggling towards an impossible future. He only hoped that one day, he would be able to see Lingxi again, to embrace her, to feel the touching warmth of her body, and to feel the feeling of two hearts sticking together.
This was fate.
Long Chen knew that after making the vow, he would have to struggle desperately under the control of fate. However, he had no regrets.
In fact, Long Chen could have chosen to do as Lingxi had said at the beginning. He could have stayed with Lingxi through life and death without any effort. However, that would have meant that he had already surrendered to fate. Surrendering would never be Long Chen's style. He had walked a path that defied the heavens, so naturally, he had a heaven-defying personality.
However, what Long Chen and Ling Xi did not know was just how many hardships and frustrations they would have to go through in order to finally be together for the sake of today's vow. Fate was never something that could be controlled. Even the strongest person would ultimately die in the hands of fate.
A strong wind blew.
Long Chen took a deep breath. The road ahead was boundless. It was as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart. However, Long Chen didn't give up because of this. He looked deeply in the direction of the Imperial City, then tidied up his clothes and softly said to Xiao Lang: "Let's go, we're going to welcome our last battle in the Cangyang Kingdom. Xiao Lang, he is also your archenemy. Today, let's fight together."
Xiao Lang then stood up. His huge body was restored. At this moment, Xiao Lang's mood was still not relaxed. He looked at Long Chen with a passionate gaze and let out a desolate howl that shook the surroundings.
"Chen, Xiao Lang said that no matter what, he will fight shoulder to shoulder with you until the end." Lingxi translated for Long Chen.
"Very well, let's go. Let's charge for our beautiful future."
Long Chen laughed heartily. His laughter eased the atmosphere and stimulated their fighting spirit. Under the wind, two people and one wolf began to move towards the direction of Bi Yang Imperial City.
Long Chen knew that those people were definitely waiting for him.
Two months was already a long time.
The last battle, Long Chen knew that it would definitely be a very exciting thing.
… …
In the Imperial City, with the death of the Fourth Prince Lin Zichen, the atmosphere changed strangely. Everyone had already noticed that there seemed to be a momentum of a storm.
These days, the matter of Long Chen had spread throughout the entire Bi Yang Imperial City. Now, any random person in Bi Yang Imperial City would not only know Long Chen, but would also be able to narrate in detail the matter of Long Chen sneaking into the Imperial Palace and finally killing Lin Zichen in front of Jiang Cheng.
Long Chen killed the genius that was originally the most favored in Cangyang Kingdom. The commotion caused by this matter was much greater than the commotion caused by what he did when he was fleeing. Long Chen was like a dark horse that suddenly appeared and obtained the final victory, successfully capturing the attention of nearly everyone in Bi Yang Imperial City.
And Long Chen's final declaration caused a commotion in Bi Yang Imperial City. Now, everyone knew that after Long Chen killed the Fourth Prince Lin Zichen, he was about to return to Bi Yang Imperial City and start the final battle with the strongest expert in Cangyang Kingdom. This young man who suddenly appeared made all the higher-ups of Cangyang Kingdom feel shocked.
In their opinion, Long Chen was already a first-class expert in Cangyang Kingdom. His current strength was probably second only to the Sword Emperor and the Master of Sky Devil Palace, Zhao Qingyun.
Of course, the identity of Long Chen had already been known by everyone.
From the Emperor Demon Sword that he used and the Three Great Secret Skills that he displayed, there was no doubt that Long Chen had joined Sky Devil Palace and became the next Master of Sky Devil Palace. The battle between Lin Zichen and Long Chen was actually a battle between the two forces of Cangyang Kingdom. And Lin Zichen's death put great pressure on the Royal Family.
This meant that if Long Chen did not die, then it was very likely that in the near future, the Royal Family would completely lose to Sky Devil Palace. Then, the position of Emperor would also be replaced, and the Royal Family would face the danger of extinction.
At this time, the atmosphere in Bi Yang Imperial City was like a mountain storm was coming.
The First Prince brought back the news that Long Chen would come to challenge the Sword Emperor, but there was no specific time. So, as they waited anxiously, time gradually passed by for two months. In these two months, not only did the public opinion not decrease, but it had a tendency to expand.
In a small tea stall, there was such a discussion at this time.
"Brother Zhang, why are you in the mood to come here to drink tea today? I see that you usually cultivate in seclusion." One of the middle-aged men called out to the other person and said with a smile.
"Cultivate my a * s. I can't calm down at all, so I specially came to the tea stall to find out the news that Long Chen of Sky Devil Palace will kill his way here today." The man said softly.
"There's still no movement. He shouldn't be." The middle-aged man frowned and said.
"Because of this Long Chen's challenge, there is now a storm in the Imperial City. I just don't know if Long Chen will come or not. It has already been two months. Brother Chen, do you think that Long Chen is fooling us?"
"I don't think so. I heard that he came to take revenge for a brother. I think it should be about time. I heard that the Imperial City has already made sufficient preparations. I reckon that if he doesn't come for another month, then he will be fooling us."
"His Majesty Sword Emperor's son was killed. Why didn't he kill his way to Sky Devil Palace?" The man voiced out his doubts.
"I also don't know. I'm afraid he is waiting for Long Chen to come. I heard that with Long Chen's character, he will definitely do what he says. He should be coming soon. Let's wait and see."
