"What's going on?" Jiang Wuya asked first.
As soon as he arrived, Zhao Danchen had been forced back by the Devil Fire of Nine Serenities by the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf.
As for the others, they were even more confused.
Lei Zhen looked around and bitterly smiled, "I was originally talking with seventh brother here, but who knew that Zhao Danchen would suddenly appear. He originally wanted to kill me, but seventh brother said that I would participate in one of the three battles. If he killed me, it would be a violation of the bet. Therefore, Zhao Danchen couldn't kill me, but he set his sights on seventh brother."
"That is to say, Zhao Danchen just attacked Long Chen."
At this time, everyone looked at Long Chen. They had seen a lot just now. It seemed that Long Chen and Xiao Lang had teamed up to force Zhao Danchen to retreat.
What did that mean?
A martial artist at the first level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm and a demonic beast at the first level of the King Grade had forced Zhao Danchen, who was at the third level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm, to retreat.
That's what I call strong.
Everyone looked at Long Chen with a strange look.
Among the Eight Kings of War people, they naturally didn't know that Long Chen was so powerful. As for the Dragons, they knew that Long Chen was extraordinary. When he was at the ninth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm, he could defeat an expert of the Earth Martial Arts Realm, let alone now.
"If I'm not mistaken, I can still see Zhao Danchen's unique mystique, the Golden Eye of Annihilation, even though it's obscured by the red mist."
At this time, Lei Zhen looked at Long Chen in shock.
"The Golden Eye of Devastation. Under the third level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm, no one can resist Zhao Danchen's Golden Eye of Devastation. Long Chen, you are still alive."
Even Jiang Wuya's mouth was slightly open and his face was full of disbelief.
Seeing everyone's attention on him, Long Chen felt helpless and said, "I survived because of luck. I knew that he would leave when you arrived, so I tried my best to resist him for a while. In fact, it was Xiao Lang's flame that forced Zhao Danchen to retreat."
Everyone looked at Mo Xiaolang, who seemed harmless. They really couldn't understand how a demonic beast at the first level of the King Grade could have such a horrible flame.
"Second Brother, Fourth Brother, let's discuss our next plan." Long Chen changed the topic and said.
At this time, everyone was walking back. Everyone present was trustworthy, so Lei Zhen said, "Those three battles should not be delayed. Tomorrow at dawn, I'll go to the forbidden area and enter the Pool of Lightning and Lightning to comprehend the Thunder Blade Technique. The Thunder Blade Technique is a middle level King Grade offensive battle skill. With the help of the Pool of Lightning and Lightning, I don't know if nine days is enough for me to comprehend."
Everyone nodded their heads.
Tonight's matter, because of Long Chen's quick-wittedness, passed just like that. Only after the War Race's eight kings, as well as Old Vulture and the others all returned did Lei Zhen look at his brothers. Suddenly, he knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Fourth Brother, what are you doing? Get up."
Jiang Wuya lightly shouted and helped Lei Zhen up. His strength was great and Lei Zhen couldn't resist.
"Brothers and sisters, Lei Zhen begs you for one thing." Lei Zhen clenched his teeth and said.
"Between us brothers, how can we use the word 'beg'? Fourth Brother, if you say this word again, then you're not treating me as a brother." The white-haired Jian Chen said.
Lei Zhen nodded his head and looked at everyone solemnly, "Brothers, you can all see that Zhao Danchen's injuries have already completely recovered. Zhao Danchen and Yang Ningfeng, none of us are a match. The destruction of the War people has already been decided. I beg everyone to leave now. Don't throw away your lives for me, Lei Zhen. Lei Zhen's death is not to be regretted, but if I were to implicate my brothers and sisters, then I will suffer more than death."
As he said that, tears began to flow down his face.
Everyone looked at each other. In the end, it was Jiang Wuya who patted Lei Zhen's shoulder gently, "Fourth Brother, you still don't understand. Everyone will die sooner or later. Instead of dying for nothing, it's better to die with a bang. If I die for my brothers, then I, Jiang Wuya, can die without regrets."
"Yeah, my life was given to me by my eldest sister. Without her, I would have become a pile of dirt long ago. I should have died a long time ago anyway. If I die now, I won't lose out. Just like second brother said, I have a clear conscience."
Chi Ying also smiled and said, "Fourth Brother, you don't need to treat us like outsiders. We're all people who have died long ago. It's only luck that we're still alive. Among us seven brothers and sisters, who is afraid of death? Isn't it just a matter of sleeping?"
Lan Ling 'er also smiled, "Fourth Brother, you're crying. How embarrassing."
Although Long Chen did not say anything, Lei Zhen understood his thoughts from his actions earlier. He knew that his youngest brother was actually the most stubborn of them all. Once he decided on something, he would not change it no matter what.
Lei Zhen wiped away his tears and looked at his brothers. Seeing the determination and passion in their eyes, Lei Zhen also knew that his life had been worth it.
"Good brother."
He extended a hand, and the others all placed their hands on top of his. A total of six hands came together.
"Together, let's kill the Wushu Alliance!"
Lan Ling 'er called out excitedly. Everyone pressed their hands together, and then their faces became filled with smiles.
Looking at each and every one of them, Long Chen suddenly felt a little moved in his heart. They weren't wrong. In life, no matter how great one's achievements were, it wasn't necessarily a success. If there was someone you loved who loved you, if there was a group of brothers and sisters who could live and die with you, even if you died, you would have no regrets.
Dragons. This was a phrase that would forever be hidden in the deepest part of Long Chen's memory.
Although their place in Long Chen's heart could never be compared to Lingxi and Mo Xiaolang, they had always moved Long Chen.
A true man should drink blood.
Everyone's eyes were filled with the passion of facing death with equanimity.
"Brothers, the war is unavoidable. I, Lei Zhen, will not say any more nonsense. The War people are in grave danger this time, so I want to leave some roots for the War people. A few days ago, I personally selected a total of a hundred talented War people children. I hope that one of you will send them out when the war begins. These are the roots of the War people. I hope that everyone will not decline."
Lei Zhen looked at the crowd. Who would protect these children and break out of the Wushu Alliance's encirclement?
Jiang Wuya looked around and his gaze finally fell on Long Chen and Lan Ling 'er. He said, "Long Chen's strength is unfathomable. He and Ling' er are both young, so there is no need for them to fight to the death for us. This time, let Long Chen and Ling 'er escort the children. Both of you remember, the future of the War people is in your hands. You must not relax, especially Long Chen. You are extraordinarily talented. If our brothers die in the hands of the Wushu Alliance, when you become stronger, you will be the one to take revenge."
Seeing the hopeful gazes of the crowd, Long Chen did not know what to do. His original plan was to tell the crowd to change the three candidates for the battle at the right time. Now, they had given him a seemingly arduous but most likely chance of survival. Long Chen did not know what to say, so he could only agree for the time being. "Alright, leave this matter to me."
Anyway, his Great Void Realm could only allow living creatures to enter. When the time came, he could directly place the children in the Great Void Realm. That would be absolutely safe. Moreover, Long Chen had another thought, and that was that this battle might not even happen. As long as the War people won the bet, this battle would be completely unnecessary.
"Alright, since that's the case, everyone go back and cultivate. There's not much time left. Make good use of the time. Tomorrow, Number Four will enter the Lightning Pool. We will send him off." Jiang Wuya said.
After he finished speaking, the crowd said a few more words and dispersed. After Long Chen and Xiao Lang returned to their residence, they suddenly thought of that Elder Vulture. When everyone was concerned about Long Chen, Long Chen seemed to have discovered that there was something wrong with that Elder Vulture.
When Lei Zhen was in trouble, he was the slowest to arrive. Moreover, his performance at that time was not like that of a qualified number one expert of the War people. It was impossible for him to arrive so late. Then why was he so slow? It could only be that he did it on purpose.
"I can see that Lei Zhen should respect him quite a bit. There shouldn't be any problems. I was thinking too much."
Long Chen threw away that thought and started to fully concentrate on studying the two battle skills, Dragon Claw of Scattered Souls and Catkin Wind Steps. At the same time, Long Chen's second set of Earth Martial Realm fist techniques also quickly improved. Long Chen could feel that, with his nature-defying talent, before long, he would be able to reach the second level of the Earth Martial Realm.
… …
In a dark stone house, at the highest position, a stooped figure stood by the window, looking at the specks of starlight outside. At that moment, the door was suddenly opened and a similarly skinny, but handsome man walked in. It was the second prince of the Eight Kings of the War people, Elder Vulture's son, and the old man by the window was Elder Vulture.
"Father." Lei Ming walked in, lightly closed the door, and respectfully stood behind Elder Vulture.
"You've already guessed what happened today right?" Elder Vulture's gloomy voice rang out in this dark room.
Lei Ming nodded his head and said, "I've already guessed it. Father's speed of arriving was quite a bit slower than Jiang Wuya's. It should be on purpose."
"Sadly, Lei Zhen still didn't die. I thought this time, he was dead for sure. I knew that Zhao Danchen would be worried about the bet that Yang Ningfeng made and would come to find Lei Zhen. Who would have thought that even when Zhao Danchen attacked, he still couldn't kill him. I purposely arrived late, but it seems like there was no use." Elder Vulture sighed and said.
Lei Ming frowned and said in confusion, "Father, I still don't understand. Lei Zhen is supported by almost everyone, and he also has the help of friends from the Dragons. It's hard for us to shake the position of chief. Why kill him?"
