This attack was really too weak for Long Chen. With the support of the Five Emperor Dharma Powers, Long Chen directly pierced through the other party's attack. The Three-Thousand Star Domain flashed and instantly pierced Liu Qinger's throat. The sharp starlight of the Three-Thousand Star Domain opened up a small wound on Liu Qinger's throat and a drop of blood gradually seeped out.
Of course, this drop of blood wasn't a problem. However, everyone was still stunned. If Long Chen's Three-Thousand Star Domain had advanced any further, it would have pierced through the other party's throat.
It could be said that if Long Chen hadn't stopped, Liu Qinger would have definitely died.
Such a shocking scene took place in the lobby of the inn.
This had all happened in an instant.
"Miss, the outcome has been decided. Please keep your promise." Long Chen smiled faintly and put away the Three-Thousand Star Domain.
This was Redwater City. If they had been in the outside world, Long Chen's Three-Thousand Star Domain would have definitely pierced through her neck.
Liu Qinger was in a daze. She simply couldn't believe what had happened. However, the piercing pain on her neck told her that she had really lost. If the other party hadn't shown mercy, she would have been a corpse by now.
Since when did Liu Qinger need someone to spare her life?
His eyes were wide open as he stared at Long Chen's calm expression. A deep murderous intent gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Why? Can't you afford to lose?" Long Chen wasn't afraid of her. He raised his chin and looked at Liu Qinger with a faint smile.
His words forced back the murderous intent in her eyes. She was someone who cared about her reputation, so she couldn't embarrass herself here.
"What's your name?" Liu Qinger asked.
"Long Chen."
After putting away the Three-Thousand Star Domain, Long Chen exited his Dragon Soul Transformation state and said nonchalantly.
"Long Chen. Ha ha."
Liu Qinger sneered and walked out without saying a word. She had destroyed the inn, but the boss didn't dare to touch her. It was obvious that Liu Qinger had some power in Redwater City.
Halfway there, she turned her head back and coldly asked, "You should be staying in Redwater City for a while. I don't think you're from Redwater City."
"Who said I'm not from Redwater City?" Long Chen said.
"Alright."
Liu Qinger laughed. Just as she was about to leave, there was a huge commotion outside.
At this moment, Long Chen was checking on the condition of Xiong Jun and the others. Fortunately, he had arrived in time. The few injured youths were only lightly injured. They should be fine after recuperating for a period of time.
"Big Brother Long Chen, I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Xiong Jun lowered his head and said.
Long Chen smiled. It was indeed troublesome. Liu Qinger was a ruthless character. She definitely wouldn't let it go. At this moment, he smiled helplessly and said, "I think your plan is going to fail. You guys go back to your Barbarian Bear Tribe as soon as possible. Her target is me. It's fine as long as I don't leave. I'll leave after you guys leave."
"No, we can't leave you behind."
Xiong Wan 'er looked anxious and looked at Long Chen with concern. She knew that Long Chen wanted to cover their retreat. This trouble was caused by Xiong Jun and the others. They couldn't let Long Chen fight here alone.
"You guys are a burden. It'll be more troublesome for me if you don't leave." Long Chen said bluntly.
These guys were really having a headache. If Long Chen was alone, no matter who he offended, he could just use Blood Escape and leave without caring about their lives.
After being scolded by Long Chen, Xiong Jun and the others nodded.
However, at this moment, there was a huge commotion outside the inn. Long Chen raised his head and saw a group of people crowding outside. There were a few people with distinguished statuses. Liu Qinger hurriedly went out to welcome them with a smile. Her originally gloomy expression immediately changed. She walked out with a sweet smile and hurriedly held onto the arm of one of the youths.
The young man was tall and sturdy, almost the same as Xiong Jun. However, compared to Xiong Jun's barbarian appearance, this young man was indeed an elegant young master. He wore a blue robe, had short hair and sharp eyes. He was like a violent bear that knew etiquette and hid his fierceness in his robe.
However, this young man wasn't the most outstanding person in the crowd. Next to him, there was a middle-aged man with a similarly tall and sturdy figure. He had long black hair and a deep gaze. He always had a smile on his face. He looked like a spring breeze, and Long Chen knew that the more someone like that, the more powerful they were.
The middle-aged man's strength was very high. Long Chen couldn't figure it out at the moment, but at the very least, he was in the seventh level of the Heaven Martial Realm. He might even be close to those monsters.
After those monsters returned to the Sovereign Domain, they couldn't be counted as experts. Even in this small Scarlet Water City, there were almost existences on the same level as them.
However, even this middle-aged man wasn't the focus of the crowd's attention.
Under the middle-aged man's enthusiastic reception, a man came up from a pitch-black warhorse. Long Chen first paid attention to the pitch-black warhorse. He felt that it was very strange. With the Devouring Eyes, there was no aura of a soul on the black warhorse. However, there was a strong and vigorous energy on the black warhorse. It was only slightly weaker than the man on the warhorse. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the warhorse's skin was made of some unknown steel. Its blood-red eyes were lifeless, but they flickered with a blood-red light, as if there were two red lanterns hidden in them.
"What is that? A puppet? Is there such a powerful puppet?"
In Yuanling City, Long Chen had seen some steel puppets. Those were simple puppets without much power. However, the puppet in front of him was terrifying. There were many blood-red runes on the body of the black warhorse. As the warhorse moved, those runes rotated and absorbed the Sovereign Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, turning it into power that flowed through the warhorse's body. The blood-red runes were very complicated. Long Chen looked at them for a long time, but he couldn't remember anything.
"Sis … sister, that's the lord of the Netherworld Legion."
Xiong Jun had a look of admiration on his face as he looked at the man who came down from the warhorse.
Following Xiong Jun's gaze, Long Chen looked at the so-called Netherworld Legion. It was a tall man in battle armor. His whole body was covered in a black one-piece battle armor. From time to time, dark green runes would appear on the battle armor. A magical power was flowing in the battle armor.
In the Primordial Cemetery, Long Chen had seen Jin Ling use the Golden Thearch Battle Armor, which was similar to this armor. However, it was clear that the runes on the Netherworld Legion's armor were countless times more complicated, and the power it possessed was also much greater. Clearly, the strength of the Netherworld Legion would increase a lot after wearing this armor.
"Wow, that's the Netherworld Battle Armor that can increase one's Qi by three times."
"How cool!"
"It would be great if I could touch this Netherworld Battle Armor in my lifetime."
Behind Long Chen, the youths of the Barbarian Bear Tribe said with envy.
The one wearing the Netherworld Battle Armor was a stern-looking man with an austere aura around his body. However, from his ice-cold eyes, one could tell that this guy had experienced a lot of slaughter. From his body, there was an aura that was slightly more tyrannical than the middle-aged man from before.
A youth, a middle-aged man, and a Netherworld Legion member ignored the crowd and walked towards the inn while talking and laughing.
"City Lord, I'll stay in this inn. There's no need to make it public. You should know the military discipline of the Netherworld Legion. After I auction the Heaven Secret Pill, I'll return to Scarlet Sun Central City immediately." The Netherworld Legion member's voice was very magnetic. Just a short sentence was enough to stir people's hearts.
That middle-aged man was the City Lord of Scarlet Water City.
"Since Lord Zhao insists on coming here, I can only obey. I understand that the orders of the Netherworld Army must be obeyed. However, since Lord Zhao wants the Heavenly Secrets Pill, I'll have the people from the Scarlet Water Chamber of Commerce give it to you. Isn't that enough?" said the Scarlet Water City Lord.
After saying that, he looked at Liu Qinger, who was holding his son's arm, and said, "Qing 'er, go back and let your father take out the Heaven Secret Pill and give it to Lord Zhao."
Liu Qinger smiled sweetly and said, "Alright."
"Don't."
The Netherworld Legion member said solemnly, "Since it's an auction item, I'll abide by the rules and auction it with some Emperor Crystals. It won't cost a lot of Emperor Crystals anyway. I don't want to be gossiped about when I return to Scarlet Sun Central City. I'm passing by Scarlet Water City to carry out a mission and happened to hear about the Heaven Secret Pill, so I came to take a look. I'm really grateful for Brother Qian's hospitality these days. If you don't mind, we can just call each other brothers. Brother Qian is the City Lord and I'm just a soldier of the Netherworld Legion.
The Scarlet Water City Lord laughed and said, "Don't blame me, don't blame me. I was careless. Since Brother Zhao wants to do things according to the rules, I'll do as you wish. However, if they hear that Brother Zhao wants to auction the Heaven Secret Pill, they won't dare to make a move."
The Netherworld Legion member also laughed when he heard that.
Under Scarlet Water City's arrangements, a good room was quickly arranged for the eccentric Netherworld Legion member. When they were almost done, the girl called Liu Qinger whispered a few words in the ears of the City Lord's son. The stocky young man looked in Long Chen's direction and frowned. A murderous aura emanated from his body.
"Trouble's coming." Long Chen knew something was wrong when he saw the young man's expression.
As expected, the Scarlet Water City Lord was about to send the Netherworld Legion member upstairs when the young man strode towards Long Chen's direction.
