Currently, Long Chen’s cultivation base was known by basically everyone, so he no longer bothered to purposely conceal his aura.
As for everyone present, they were all in the Tendon Transformation realm. So a seventh Heavenstage Blood Condensation rookie was extremely eye-catching.
Tang Wan-er’s expression changed, and she was about to retort when she was pulled back by Long Chen. “Don’t look at a piece of trash like that. It’ll ruin your image.”
Long Chen was too lazy to bother with that kind of person. Such a person had only come out to find some purpose for his life. Such a person wasn’t strong enough to stand out, and so hoped to use this kind of method to prove their own existence.
And so the more you bothered with them, the more pleased they would be. But what kind of person was Long Chen? After overcoming death so many times, he had long since become indifferent to such a thing. There was no need for him to waste his precious time on an idiot.
Since Long Chen also wasn’t angry at all, Tang Wan-er also only smiled slightly. She also realized that her own self-restraint was far too lacking in comparison to Long Chen. No wonder Long Chen always said she was still just a child.
“Let’s go.” Tang Wan-er smiled, forgetting about that unpleasantness. She also wanted to be like Long Chen, a person who was like a rippleless old well.
Long Chen nodded and walked with her to the Xuantian pavilion. But before they took even two steps, they were blocked by a person.
That was the person who had just ridiculed Long Chen. Crossing his arms, he stood there with ridicule for Long Chen. However, there was also jealousy when he looked at Tang Wan-er. He icily told Long Chen, “I refuse to make way for a piece of trash.”
There were also quite a few others who were coming out of or going into the Xuantian pavilion. They had thought that there might be a good show to watch when they had heard him mock Long Chen, but the result was that Long Chen had simply brushed it off, causing them to feel a bit vexed with him.
Now that that person once more came to provoke him, everyone paused to watch. If he were to simply take this as well, that really would be a loss of face, and would only cause more people to bully him.
“Funny, I was thinking the opposite.”
Long Chen only smiled slightly and pulled Tang Wan-er around the fellow. Tang Wan-er was first a bit startled, but she then covered her mouth as she laughed.
The other people were also first startled, but then they soon realized Long Chen’s meaning. They looked oddly at that fellow.
Seeing Long Chen actually didn’t take his bait, that fellow was a bit puzzled. But as he saw everyone looking at him oddly, he finally realized what he had said.
“You’re the trash!”
That person was infuriated and actually sent out a punch at Long Chen. From the powerful wind surrounding his fist, it was obvious that this person had just advanced to the Tendon Transformation realm.
A hand struck out like lightning. The instant that person had been about to unleash his fist, he was viciously slapped in the face.
People let out startled cries as they dodged to the side. That person was blown back like a cannonball.
He flew for almost a hundred meters before crashing into a stone wall. That stone which appeared extremely normal was actually extremely sturdy and hard. The stone wall wasn’t damaged at all, but that person directly fainted
“Your attacks are always perfectly angled and natural without the slightest signs. It’s a kind of flawless beauty. How do you manage to do that?” asked Tang Wan-er excitedly.
She had long since taken note of this move of Long Chen’s. It was also just like how he had slapped Lu Chuan from the Healing Hall. His attacks were extremely clean and open, and yet others were unable to dodge it.
In Tang Wan-er’s eyes, that was already a divine technique, second only to that divine ring he had once summoned. However, the killing ability inside it was not the slightest bit inferior.
“This is one of the divine techniques handed down from my ancestors. But if you want to learn, it’s also not difficult. As long as an idiot takes action against you, just directly blow them away with a single palm. If you diligently work at it all day, you’ll naturally train it to the point of perfection and reach the peak,” explained Long Chen solemnly.
“Then can you teach it to me?” asked Tang Wan-er expectantly.
“I can’t. That would damage your image. Just let me handle such people. I’ll be in charge of handling idiots, and you’ll be in charge of being as beautiful as a flower,” said Long Chen.
Tang Wan-er laughed beautifully. Her laugh was like a flower in bloom, a beauty so great that others were unable to control their own hearts.
“What brazen person dares to be impudent in front of the Xuantian pavilion- eh, it’s you?”
A cold shout rang out and a group of white-robed men walked out. The person at the front was the one who had shouted and he recognized Long Chen.
When Long Chen and Tang Wan-er saw that person, they immediately realized that the situation had turned sour. That person was the senior apprentice-brother Wu who had had a dispute with Long Chen.
Back in the trial region, while Tang Wan-er and Lei Qianshang had been fighting over the Nine-leaf Orchid, Long Chen had ended up killing Zhao Wu, almost being expelled from the monastery.
It had been this senior apprentice-brother Wu who had found Long Chen extremely dislikable, so naturally Long Chen also didn’t treat him kindly, causing him to have a stomach full of fire.
As a member of the law enforcers, he was someone who normally patrolled the monastery. Although the monastery encouraged competition, they wouldn’t allow things like fighting within or near buildings.
After all, fists and legs had no eyes, and if they were to destroy a building by accident, that would be troublesome. So there were some areas within the monastery where fighting was forbidden.
If you did end up breaking something within the monastery, you would have to use your own points or perhaps accomplish the monastery’s missions to make up for it.
But naturally everything within the monastery was extremely precious. If you ended up destroying certain treasures, you could spend your entire life working for the monastery without being able to fully compensate them.
And that was why there were law enforcers patrolling, intimidating these disciples from fighting and resolving some disputes.
Now that he saw Long Chen, senior apprentice-brother Wu’s eyes lit up and he pointed at him, “Brat, last time I said not to fall into my hands. Hehe, you really didn’t disappoint me.”
Tang Wan-er tried to think of some way out of this, but she couldn’t. She knew this senior apprentice-brother Wu was going to abuse his authority for his personal revenge.
“What does your disappointment have to do with me?” said Long Chen lightly.
“Haha, you’ve fought within a fighting-prohibited region. As one of the monastery’s law enforcers, I use my authority to take you into custody. Are you still not yielding?” sneered senior apprentice-brother Wu icily.
A long chain appeared in his hands. That was the specific weapon of law enforcers, used to lock people up.
Anyone who violated the monastery’s rules would be bound and brought away like a dog in a loop around the monastery before then being sent to the Law Enforcement Hall. They would then be punished according to the severity of the offense.
For this kind of offense, the punishment wasn’t that severe. After all, it was just a scuffle and nothing big had happened. The punishment couldn’t be too great or people would be too afraid to even compete.
But although the punishment wasn’t too severe, being led around in chains was an extremely great humiliation. These people were all geniuses; which one of them wasn’t prideful? That kind of humiliation was even worse than their actual punishment.
Last time, senior apprentice-brother Wu had only just been released from prison for two days which had given him a
belly full of fire that he needed to release. He was also someone who easily burst into anger, so that day he had been especially irritated by Long Chen.
Now that he saw Long Chen again, he immediately thought of that day and moved to lock Long Chen in chains.
Bang!
Long Chen grabbed the chains, icily glaring at the senior apprentice-brother Wu. At the same time, Tang Wan-er also came up, ready to take action at any moment.
Although she knew that opposing a law enforcer was a taboo, she would not let Long Chen be humiliated like this. As for the consequences, she didn’t even think about them at this time.
“Oh? You actually dare resist? Then don’t blame me for not being polite.”
Seeing Long Chen grabbed the chains, senior apprentice-brother Wu was delighted inside. Since Long Chen dared to resist, then he could even heavily injure Long Chen without being punished. He was just about to attack when Long Chen stopped him.
“Wait.” Long Chen icily glared at him. “If you want to use your position to take your revenge against me, you should also explain exactly what rule I broke.”
Senior apprentice-brother Wu sneered, “Hmph, anyone who fights within the fighting-prohibited regions of the monastery will all be punished with three days imprisonment. Do you not know that?”
“Then let me ask you, how are the fighting-prohibited regions determined?”
“There are a total of seven fighting-prohibited regions. Other than the fighting-prohibited area itself, it also includes the three hundred meters around the fighting-prohibited buildings. What, do you need me to explain it even clearer?” sneered senior apprentice-brother Wu. Obviously, he was very proficient in his own work.
“Then take a good look. Is the spot I’m standing within the fighting-prohibited region?” asked Long Chen.
Senior apprentice-brother Wu’s expression changed slightly as he realized Long Chen was standing on the very edge of the fighting-prohibited region, and he couldn’t tell whether he really was in or not.
“Tch, what you say doesn’t mean anything. We’ll just measure it.” Senior apprentice-brother Wu glanced at one of his people.
That person took out a measuring tape and walked up to the door of the Xuantian pavilion and began to start measuring. That tape measure was precisely three hundred meters long.
That person slowly unfurled the measuring tape as he walked over to Long Chen. Looking at that person’s actions, Long Chen shook his head. This was completely intolerable!
Reaching the end of the measurement, that measuring tape reached the middle of Long Chen’s foot.
Tang Wan-er’s expression changed. Long Chen was already in the fighting-prohibited region. If he had been just half a step back he would have been fine!
Long Chen lightly said to that person, “Not bad.”
That person icily looked back at him with disdain. “Newcomers shouldn’t be too arrogant. The monastery isn’t your home, so it’d be best for you to be a bit more obedient.”
“Junior disciple accepts senior apprentice-brother’s teaching. Junior disciple also wishes to show senior apprentice-brother something,” Long Chen spread his arms wide. But everyone saw there was nothing in them.
“What is it?” That person’s face sank, thinking Long Chen was playing with him.
“Although you can’t see it, you can feel it.”
POW!
Chapter 184 Fierce Fight with Law Enforcers
“What?!”
Everyone was dumbfounded as that law enforcer was sent flying.
Hundreds of people had already gathered here since the law enforcers had shown up, two of them core disciples.
Originally, they had actually admired Long Chen for daring to send someone flying here. But then they saw him crazily attack a law enforcer as well.
Law enforcers represented the monastery. No disciples were able to resist them. If they did, their endings could only be miserable.
Although those two had only just joined the sect, they at least already knew that they absolutely could not attack law enforcers, otherwise, it wouldn’t even be a question of punishment.
That kind of action was a grave and open provocation against the monastery. He would be expelled! Was he crazy?
Tang Wan-er was also given a fright. She looked at Long Chen with horror. “Scoundrel, do you not care about your life?”
Long Chen whispered, “Don’t be afraid. We’re in the right. Make as much of a ruckus as you can now. Otherwise, we’ll end up suffering a loss.”
At this time, the seven law enforcers finally recovered from their shock. He dared to attack law enforcers? He must be tired of living.
Senior apprentice-brother Wu was first shocked, then absolutely delighted. He roared, “He dares violently resist the law, disrespecting the monastery’s prestige. Capture him with your full strength! If he dares resist, you can kill him!”
The chain in senior apprentice-brother Wu’s hands seemed to come to life, piercing towards Long Chen.
That black chain brought with it a wild whistling sound. That powerful pressure caused people to be unable to breathe.
This was their senior apprentice-brothers’ strength. Although they were only at the bottom level of their generation, they hadn’t wasted their past three years.
Their cultivation bases were all above the mid Tendon Transformation realm. Their combat strengths were incredibly powerful, and their foundations were extremely solid. A random attack could easily break a person’s bones.
Long Chen shouted and his aura exploded out. He knew this senior apprentice-brother Wu was planning on deliberately humiliating him.
However, he had no choice but to admit that he was extremely powerful. If he was the slightest bit careless, he would be directly destroyed by that power. He slammed his hands together.
That large chain was caught between his hands, but the powerful energy transmitted through it caused Long Chen’s blood to shake.
“How powerful! That was just an ordinary attack, but I almost can’t hold it off!” Long Chen let out a shocked cry inside. This was the difference between cultivation bases. His current self would definitely suffer in order to resist senior apprentice-brother Wu.
“Brat, go die!” Long Chen had only just stopped his chain when another chain shot over at Long Chen’s stomach.
“Moonwind Slash!” A wind blade flew out following a cry, striking that chain. That person who had attacked was horrified and shaken back.
That person currently had a large handprint on his face. He was the one who had been slapped just now by Long Chen.
His cultivation base was high, and that slap didn’t cause him any injury. However, the humiliation was completely unacceptable.
“Since you also dare resist the law enforcers, you will also be taken in!” Seeing Tang Wan-er also dared to help Long Chen, senior apprentice-brother Wu let out a cold cry. The chain in his hands shook as he attempted to bring his chain back to him.
But he was shocked to realize that he was unable to break his chain free from Long Chen’s grasp.
That caused his expression to become incredibly ugly. Long Chen was just a newcomer and was only in the Blood Condensation realm. He had been planning on using his weakest attacks in order to subdue Long Chen, humiliating him even more.
Only then could he display his might as a senior disciple. At the same time, he would be able to intimidate all the newcomers, allowing him to handle them more easily in the future.
But his first attack was blocked by Long Chen. That was already slightly unacceptable to him. Now he used his full strength and found he was still unable to pull his chain back. That humiliated him into an intense fury.
“Die!” Senior apprentice-brother Wu roared. The powerful aura belonging to someone at the mid Tendon Transformation realm exploded out of him. A powerful wave of energy flooded over Long Chen.
Long Chen felt as if his entire body was being crushed by a huge mountain. He was forced back several meters,
unable to maintain his hold over the chain.
“Receive one blow!” Senior apprentice-brother Wu’s chain suddenly smashed down on Long Chen.
As he attacked Long Chen, that other law enforcer who had been slapped by Long Chen also brandished his chain against Tang Wan-er.
But he was horrified to see that by simply clapping her hands together, Tang Wan-er’s entire body became covered with dancing wind blades. He was caught off guard and repeatedly forced back.
“How powerful! She can overpower a law enforcer?”
“That’s definitely a core disciple’s power!”
“But for her to attack a law enforcer like this, she definitely won’t have a good end!”
Forcing back that law enforcer with a single attack, Tang Wan-er worriedly turned to go help Long Chen. But another law enforcer coldly shouted and attacked her with another chain.
“Stay behind!”
Tang Wan-er was infuriated. Although Long Chen was powerful, he was still in the Blood condensation realm. He might be unparalleled in the Blood Condensation realm, but in front of a true Tendon Transformation senior apprentice-brother, he definitely wouldn’t be able to fight on an even level.
By attacking her now, this law enforcer obviously did not want her to go help Long Chen. An icy intent appeared in her eyes.
Suddenly, a huge wind blade dozens of meters long appeared in her hands. She viciously slashed it down on that person, the terrifying power exploding out, even engulfing those law enforcers behind him.
When that wind blade appeared, space trembled. Within the wind blade flashed some large lines that were continuously trembling as if they were alive.
Those lines were her ancestral mark, her inherited rune. Now that she had revived her ancestral mark, her wind blades’ rune had become even stronger, giving her wind blades even more attacking strength.
Those law enforcers were all shocked. One of them even let out a curse, “Fuck.”
Seeing that huge blade crashing down upon them, none of them dared attack any further. They all brought up their chains to protect their bodies, focusing completely on defense.
