Last time, Feng Xuan had come to Martial Emperor City in the same way. In the end, Martial Emperor Zhao Wuji had died. This time, Long Chen had also come to Martial Emperor City in a high-profile manner.
What would the outcome be this time?
Anyone who lived in the inner city of Martial Emperor City was basically a loyal supporter of the Wushu Alliance. They thought that they were a member of the Wushu Alliance. However, it was different in the outer city of Martial Emperor City. The people who lived here were the dignitaries of Martial Emperor City. Basically, they would side with whoever the Wushu Sage was in charge of. In their hearts, they did not hate Long Chen. Instead, they were looking forward to the battle between Long Chen and Zhao Danchen. They wanted to know what kind of turmoil it would cause.
Long Chen's eyes were cold as he looked at the bustling Martial Emperor City below.
When Feng Xuan had arrived, the Martial Kings of the Wushu Alliance had dared to surround her. However, when Long Chen arrived, the others immediately saw through Long Chen's identity. Therefore, no one made a move. They were basically staring blankly at the heaven-defying young man in the sky, waiting for the current Martial Emperor to deal with him.
Just like that, Long Chen arrived outside the Martial Emperor Palace.
The last time he had come out of the Ninth Serenity Mourning Soul Land, Long Chen had been standing in this position. When he came back again, his and Zhao Danchen's status was no longer important.
Long Chen was not a procrastinator. When he arrived, his eyes looked directly at the Martial Emperor Palace. He knew that Zhao Danchen was there.
The people below were discussing.
"This Long Chen has come to the Wushu Alliance. He is obviously not taking the Martial Emperor seriously."
"Nonsense. I think he is here to challenge the Martial Emperor."
"I heard that Long Chen is very strong, but I don't think so. Not only is the Martial Emperor powerful, but he also has the Ancient Demon's corpse. Even if it was Feng Xuan, the Martial Emperor would be able to defeat him easily."
"That's not true. I heard that the woman is at the fifth level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm, one level higher than a Martial Emperor. But as for this Long Chen, I don't see anything special about him. The rumors are too unbelievable. He once defeated a Martial Emperor, but the current Martial Emperor is much stronger than before."
As soon as he heard it, he knew that the discussion came from the Martial Emperor's inner city.
None of this was important.
Most importantly, in Long Chen's rear, where the War people were, Long Yue and the others were all waiting for Long Chen's good news. Long Chen carried the fate of many people, so this time, he only had one way out, and that was to win beautifully.
"Zhao Danchen, come out!" shouted Long Chen softly. His voice spread throughout the entire Martial Emperor City.
With a whoosh, Zhao Danchen appeared at the top of the Martial Emperor Palace.
Just like that, the two of them met.
Long Chen's eyes darkened.
In Zhao Danchen's hand was Liu Yiyi. At this moment, Zhao Danchen was holding Liu Yiyi in his hand, unable to move. She raised her head and looked at Long Chen with tears in her eyes. Her eyes were full of regret. She quickly said, "Long Chen, I'm sorry …"
It seemed that Liu Yiyi had been caught by Zhao Danchen when she was relaxing.
Long Chen pursed his lips and said nothing.
Liu Yiyi's appearance had disrupted his plans. Therefore, Long Chen knew that he had to remain calm. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to protect Liu Yiyi, but he would also not be able to protect himself.
"Speaking of which, you really know how to pick the right time. If it was just a little later, Long Chen's woman would have become my, Zhao Danchen's, woman. Of course, she can't escape this fate now."
Zhao Danchen looked coldly at Long Chen. Long Chen's calm expression made Zhao Danchen's eyes gradually burn with flames.
He recalled what Liu Yiyi had said. She had said that he wasn't qualified to be compared to Long Chen. Zhao Danchen was proud and arrogant. This sentence had dealt a heavy blow to him. Therefore, it was time to prove himself.
Long Chen saw that although Liu Yiyi's clothes were a little messy, she hadn't been violated yet. He heaved a sigh of relief. Although this was a difficult situation, it didn't shake his firm heart. He only had one goal in coming here today, and that was to kill Zhao Danchen.
"Let her go and we'll fight to the death. How about that?" Although Long Chen's voice was calm, it echoed throughout the entire Martial Emperor City.
Everyone was watching this scene.
Liu Yiyi's appearance seemed to make this battle more interesting. Everyone was guessing whether Zhao Danchen would give up on this hostage and fight fair and square with Long Chen.
Everyone's gaze fell on Zhao Danchen.
"Let her go."
Zhao Danchen roared with laughter. Compared to his arrogance, he was even more sinister. He had gone to great lengths to get his hands on Liu Yiyi. Not only would he not let her go, but he would also use her to defeat Long Chen. Zhao Danchen had always been a despicable person.
Based on his laughter, everyone understood what he was trying to say.
Zhao Danchen would never let go of this opportunity.
"Long Chen …" Liu Yiyi was on the verge of breaking down. She had already realized that she might become a burden to Long Chen. She might even be the factor that led to Long Chen's defeat. If that was really the case, she, Liu Yiyi, would rather die.
At this moment, her heart was filled with regret.
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Long Chen was worried that she would do something stupid, so he said to her first, "Don't do anything stupid. Just wait and see. I have a way to take you back safely from his hands. Trust me."
His words made Liu Yiyi's heart calm down.
Long Chen's resolute gaze made her choose to believe in Long Chen. She had always been an obedient child, especially when it came to Long Chen's words. She had originally wanted to end it, but Long Chen's words made her regain her confidence and chose to believe in Long Chen.
In her heart, this heaven-defying young man was already an invincible existence.
There was a kind of person whose existence would always break the perception of others, making others think that he was omnipotent. Anything that couldn't be solved would be easily solved in his hands. Long Chen was this kind of person.
Long Chen's words could be considered as looking down on Zhao Danchen.
Liu Yiyi was still in Zhao Danchen's hands, but Long Chen was actually talking to her as if no one else was present. This caused Zhao Danchen's face to turn black. His arms tightly wrapped around Liu Yiyi, making it impossible for her to move.
"If you have the guts, then come to the city gates."
Long Chen glanced at Zhao Danchen and directly headed outside Martial Emperor City. This was also the place where Feng Xuan and Zhao Wuji had fought.
Zhao Danchen sneered and brought Liu Yiyi over. In his other hand, a small black flag appeared. This was the Eternal Demon Flag. Under Zhao Danchen's control, the Ancient Demon's corpse suddenly rose up from the ground outside Martial Emperor City and appeared in front of Long Chen. The stench of blood and decay rushed towards Long Chen.
This was the first time that Long Chen was facing this ice-cold war machine head-on.
A massive pressure came crashing down on him.
Zhao Danchen had also arrived. He didn't land on the ground, but instead hovered in the air, controlling Liu Yiyi and the Eternal Demon Flag at the same time. As he saw Long Chen and the Ancient Demon's corpse confronting each other, he laughed and said, "We're here. Since everything is ready, let the game begin."
A dense crowd of people appeared on the walls of Martial Emperor City.
Outside Martial Emperor City, another unparalleled battle was about to begin.
"Game."
Long Chen frowned. He could faintly feel that this despicable Zhao Danchen was about to use some shameless method.
Sure enough, Zhao Danchen gently held onto Liu Yiyi's arm. With just a little bit of force, Liu Yiyi was in so much pain that her face turned pale and sweat dripped down her forehead. However, in order not to worry Long Chen, she clenched her teeth and didn't let out a cry of pain.
Zhao Danchen laughed and said, "Do you see that? These are the rules of my game. When my Ancient Demon's corpse attacks you, as long as you, Long Chen, dodge once or attack once, I will break one of her arms or thighs. You have a total of four chances, because the fifth time, I will directly break her head. Aiyaya, why are you looking at me like that? Do you think that I don't have enough tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex?"
After Zhao Danchen finished speaking, even the people of Martial Emperor City began to talk. In general, the people of Martial Emperor City, especially those outside Martial Emperor City, didn't truly accept Zhao Danchen. They were only oppressed by Zhao Danchen's tyranny. For someone like Zhao Danchen who had killed his master, how many people would accept him?
At this time, in the eyes of the crowd, Zhao Danchen's words were a bit despicable.
The topic of their discussion was nothing more than complaints about Zhao Danchen. They felt that he couldn't live up to his status as a Martial Emperor. Zhao Danchen could hear these gossips, so his expression became quite ugly.
After he finished speaking, Long Chen only looked at him coldly. This kind of indifference made Zhao Danchen suddenly feel ashamed. Zhao Danchen's heart burned with a crazy anger.
"I've clearly suppressed him and he's about to die by my hands. Why does he still dare to look at me like that?" Zhao Danchen crazily roared in his heart.
He waved the Eternal Demon Banner in his hand and the eyes of the Ancient Demon's corpse gradually lit up with a blood red color.
"Long Chen, remember, you only have four chances to fight back."
Zhao Danchen was so angry that he laughed crazily. Liu Yiyi was like a helpless Kitten in his hands. Her tears kept flowing. She really wanted to die like this, but why did Long Chen say that he had a way?
Long Chen said, "Zhao Danchen, you probably don't know this, but a true powerhouse doesn't fear any of your tricks. You may have defeated me in tricks, but that only means that you lost to me in strength. So, what is there to be proud of?"
"Bullshit! If I can take your life, then I'm stronger than you!"
Zhao Danchen roared. Under his control, the Ancient Demon's corpse howled towards Long Chen in front of everyone's horrified eyes. It was like a black shadow that instantly appeared in front of Long Chen.
The powerful body of the Ancient Demon Corpse punched out with a loud bang. In an instant, there was a series of crackling sounds in the air. The huge fist aura locked onto Long Chen and the mountain-like fist pierced through Long Chen's chest.
"Long Chen, remember that you only have one arm." Zhao Danchen's wild laughter echoed in Long Chen's ears.
Long Chen narrowed his eyes and gave up on attacking.
