Long Chens eyes narrowed as he looked upon this white-robed man. However, he didnt show any great astonishment.
As soon as he had arrived, he had immediately sensed a pair of eyes focused on him. Originally, there wasnt much hostility in them, but as he killed the Tendon Transformation experts one after another, that hostility became increasingly dense.
In the end, Long Chen could clearly sense that this person was behind the fourth prince. But for that person to be able to so easily receive one of his blows was definitely surprising.
The white-robed mans appearance shocked everyone. Long Tianxiao hastily rushed to Long Chens side, gravely keeping an eye on the white-robed man.
Youre the mastermind behind the scenes? Long Chen asked icily.
I suppose.
Were you the one who messed with my body?
He shook his head. I dont know just what exactly youre talking about, but in any case, dont think so highly of yourself. I dont need to scheme against a little ant.
As soon as he finished speaking, a white light suddenly appeared over his hand. Bending a single finger and flicking it on his sword, Long Chen felt the entire broadsword shake and he was sent flying back dozens of meters before stabilizing.
Now Long Chen was greatly alarmed. That white-robed man hadnt revealed the slightest bit of his cultivation base. By just using a single fingers strength, his attack was on the same level as a full force blow from a Tendon Transformation expert.
Youre from a sect? Long Tianxiao was completely bewildered.
Someone about to die doesnt need to know that much, replied the white-robed man indifferently.
Long Tianxiao gravely looked at him. He quietly whispered to Long Chen, Chen-er, Ill go block him. You run as far as you can.
Seeing that Long Chen didnt understand, he quietly continued, The strength of people from the sects is far from what you can imagine. Us ordinary people are completely unable to compete against them. Their combat ability is incomparably terrifying.
Long Chen shook his head. Sorry, I cant do that.
Seeing Long Tianxiaos face sink, Long Chen didnt wait for him to say anything before continuing, Ive already grown up. I have the right to make my own decisions. I dont want to be a coward living a life worse than death.
Long Tianxiao had been about to argue, but hearing Long Chen put it that way and looking at his unwavering determination, his words got stuck midway and he swallowed them back down.
Looking at his son, he was filled with admiration. Smiling slightly, he patted Long Chen on the shoulders. Okay, then us father and son will fight side by side.
The white-robed man merely watched icily without the slightest bit of impatience as the two whispered to each other. He turned to the fourth prince, Take your people and get lost. Your life still has some value, so dont get caught up in this and die.
Although his words were a bit hurtful, in the fourth princes eyes, they rang out like heavenly salvation. He hastily retreated.
This huge matter had been completely messed up by him. He had thought that he would already be unable to live any longer, not expecting the white-robed man to let him off.
But the white-robed man also knew that this matter wasnt the fourth princes fault. The fourth prince had done everything extremely meticulously. Even he deeply admired the fourth princes schemes.
The fourth princes failure this time was entirely due to luck. Their luck had been too lacking for them to run into Long Chen. But in any case, no one else could have done a better job than the fourth prince.
Although he was a bit unwilling, the white-robed man still maintained his calm. Because of Long Chen, the plans would have to change a bit.
However, as long as he killed this father-son duo, the plan could still continue. He would just need to delay for a bit longer. It wasnt a big deal.
Your goodbye time is up. You lowly insects can go die now!
The white-robed mans body teleported almost immediately to the two of them. He sent a palm crashing down upon them. There was a faint light on top of the hollow of his palm that caused space to tremble.
Long Chens heart shook. That was clearly an Earth class Battle Skill! But there had been no sign at all that he he had been about to use it!
Experts like Xia Youyu all needed to collect some energy before using an Earth class Battle Skill, otherwise, there was no way to use that much energy.
But this person was the same as Long Chen and didnt need to accumulate any energy at all. That was completely shocking! Long Chen quickly slashed out with his broadsword.
Long Tianxiao had long since been storing up energy for this, and he slashed out with his saber at the same time, causing his Saber Qi to soar.
BOOM! Qi waves erupted explosively. Long Chen felt an enormous force striking him and sent him flying back.
Long Tianxiao was the same, but although he was also forced back, he was much better off and didnt get thrown back so far.
Circulate one hundred percent of your force, but only use eighty percent. That way you have room to maneuver, reminded Long Tianxiao.
The reason he wasnt forced back as far wasnt because Long Chens strength was inferior to his. Instead, it was actually because Long Tianxiao had reserved some of his strength during that exchange, giving him greater freedom to advance or retreat, attack or defend.
By reserving some of your strength, you would have an extra margin of relief.
If you were fighting against an enemy of the same level or perhaps an even stronger level than yourself, that little reserve might be enough to save your life.
Long Chen nodded in agreement. Having merged with a Pill Gods memories, he understand that reasoning. However, he didnt like that kind of combat.
Battle should be a process with no return. If you always kept thinking about keeping yourself alive, how would you arouse your hidden potential?
The human body was just like a treasure trove with endless possibilities. As for how much each person could open up, that would depend on how determined and ruthless they were. That kind of ruthlessness included a ruthlessness to yourself in the face of death.
So it wasnt that he didnt understand that principle, but that he had even greater ambitions. After seeing the forest god open that spatial door, Long Chen had seen a vision of a vaster world. His heart was already floating into that distance.
He had to continue getting stronger. Only by becoming strong enough could he ensure his own dignity and life, and only then could he chase after the things he desired.
None of your preparations will be of any use.
The white-robed man snorted coldly as he looked icily at the two of them. He was just like an emperor disdainfully looking down on ants.
Killing you should be useful enough. Long Chen stood and pointed his broadsword at him. Torrential battle intent soared from him. He knew that this white-robed man was extremely terrifying. He was the most powerful opponent he had met up until now.
But the stronger his opponent was, the calmer Long Chen became. He really had to be thankful for his previous life and death battles.
Otherwise, in this battle, as soon as he became afraid, his combat ability would sharply drop. Someone who was afraid couldnt even release eighty percent of their combat potential. They would only become the prey and mercilessly slaughtered.
In front of this incredibly powerful enemy, Long Chen was still filled with battle intent. It seemed that his self-confidence hadnt been shaken in the slightest because of the enemys strength.
Long Tianxiao was filled with pride and gratification. At the same time, he was also filled with guilt and regret. The greatest regret in his life was that he hadnt been able to accompany his child as he grew up.
Even an ant dares to boast? You little brat who hasnt seen the real world. Today, Ill let you see what it means to be separated by a true difference in level.
BOOM! A terrifying aura exploded from the white-robed mans body. The violent energy swept out in every direction, directly engulfing Long Chen and Long Tianxiao. They immediately felt as if a huge mountain was crushing them, and even breathing became difficult.
What a powerful spiritual pressure! Long Chens heart shook. This was the pressure formed by releasing ones spiritual qi into the surrounding space.
In other words, it meant the white-robed mans spiritual qi had already been compressed to a certain peak. Compared to other peoples spiritual qi, their spiritual qi was sloppy mud while his was heavy rock.
But the most shocking thing to Long Chen was that the white-robed mans aura was still at the late Tendon Transformation realm!
But even those who were at the same Tendon Transformation realm as him, whether it was Marquis Ying or Xia Youyu, were all nothing in front of that boundless aura.
Did you think that just by killing a few degenerate weaklings, you could truly battle across realms? Today Ill let you see that the barrier between realms is not something a couple of ants like you can even imagine.
He coldly laughed and a sword appeared in his hand. As soon as that sword appeared, Sword Qi fell from the heavens. A powerful torrent came slashing down on Long Chen and Long Tianxiao.
Long Chen knew that this was the true battle. No longer holding anything in reserve, he raised his broadsword and flame leaped on top of it.
When Long Chens broadsword collided with the white-robed mans sword, an intense ringing exploded out. Long Chen felt his insides quivering as he was sent flying back.
But just before that, Long Chen saw that the Pill Flame, which had been on his broadsword, had rushed directly towards that white-robed man.
Just as everyone thought that he would become just like Xia Youyu and be engulfed in a raging inferno
He coldly smiled and raised his left hand. A transparent white curtain appeared in front of his body like a shield and completely stopped that Pill Flame which could melt even iron.
What?! Long Chens expression changed. That white-robed mans strength had far exceeded his expectations. Plus, his control over spiritual qi was absolutely terrifying.
He knew that this should be a special technique he had cultivated. Was that how profound sect disciples were? That was an absolutely amazing technique.
In comparison to the white-robed man, Long Chens techniques and Battle Skills were far too crude.
Long Chen had just attacked when three saber images appeared in the sky. Those saber images were several meters long and combined into one, releasing an incomparable killing intent. Tri-Saber Soul Reap!
Thats rumored to be Long Tianxiaos strongest attack! I havent heard of a single person being able to block it.
I wonder if he can win
The commoners of the capital were all watching from a distance. Due to the distance being too great, they werent able to see everything. But that white-robed mans incredible srength was extremely eye-catching.
Such huge matters that shook the Phoenix Cry Empire couldnt possibly be kept private from their eyes. The fourth prince not only didnt bother trying to block them, he purposely left some open spaces for the commoners to watch from. He wanted to borrow this opportunity to intimidate everyone.
And so these commoners had seen everything. Martial arts were in their golden age in the Phoenix Cry Empire, and the strong were worshipped.
Now that they were watching Long Chen and Long Tianxiaos fight so valiantly against the odds, they couldnt help but feel admiration for them. That was especially true for Long Chen who had consecutively killed Tendon Transformation experts, one of them the ruler of an empire. Just what kind of awe-inspiring might was that?
Many people hoped for the father-son duo to obtain victory in the end. Having such a hero run the empire would allow the empire to quickly grow stronger.
But seeing Long Tianxiaos attack, the white-robed man sneered in ridicule.
I dislike having ants bare their claws at me.
The longsword in his hand slowly rose.
A booming ringing came from the longsword. Dazzling rays of light shot into the sky like bolts of lightning, blinding peoples eyes. Terrifying light slashed down at Long Tianxiao.F0lloww new hapters at nov/(e)l/bin/(.)com
