“With your kind of conduct, you can still call yourself a god? Trash. You are just a money grubber. Whoever gives you money is who you would call master and act as a hired thug for. Just looking at you is nauseating!”
BOOM!
Long Chen directly destroyed the statue with a punch. He then looked around and saw a stone tablet on the wall.
There were many lines of words on it:
Xu Changshou, Seven Star Mountain disciple, bronze rank mission: killed.
Luo Youtian, Mental Fist Gate disciple, bronze rank mission: killed.
Long Chen examined it and saw it was a record of missions. On the bottom of the tablet, he saw his own name.
Long Chen, Xuantian Supermonastery disciple, bronze rank mission: failed. Silver rank mission: failed. Gold rank mission: failed. Dark gold rank mission:_.
There was nothing after the dark gold rank mission. It should be that the mission had been issued, but no assassins had had the time to create a plan.
“The next wave would be dark gold?”
Long Chen sneered. He wiped away the words behind his name, and using a stone, he wrote another line of words on top of it: as many come, as many I’ll kill.
It was a very simple line of words. But they were filled with an unshakeable determination.
“You want to come kill me, but I’m not allowed to retaliate? And I actually have to receive four waves of assassinations before the game ends? Who says I’ll agree to that? If you like to play, then I’ll play with you,” sneered Long Chen.
Long Chen already had so many enemies. At this point, he wasn’t afraid of having more.
Only once Long Chen and the others had left did the Righteous and Corrupt experts enter the underground room. Seeing the destroyed statue and the line of words Long Chen had left behind, their hearts pounded.
Long Chen was actually unafraid of infuriating the Bloodkill Hall. He had destroyed the statue of their god and left behind such provocative words. He really was trying to get himself killed.
When Long Chen returned to the Xuantian Dao Sect’s mining site, he noticed that the guards had disappeared. Only once he asked around did he learn that Zhou Kun had canceled those posts. In accordance with the orders from the higher-ups, there were four mining sites that were left to Long Chen to guard. So the other guards had been removed. Whether or not Long Chen actually guarded his area, any problems would be his responsibility.
Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er had discussed it and decided to send the Dragonblood warriors to guard those four sites. After all, if there was a problem, Long Chen would have to take responsibility. And so the only ones present were the Dragonblood Legion now.
Long Chen wasn’t the slightest bit surprised at this situation. He told the Dragonblood warriors to take care during these days. There would quickly be meat to eat.
As expected, three days later, a huge disturbance erupted. Countless masked experts charged toward Xuantian Dao Sect’s territory.
“Where is Long Chen? Get out here and die!” A cold shout rang throughout the entire chaos region, and a terrifying pressure soared.
Chapter 630 Terrifying Celestial
The Xuantian Dao Sect’s experts all turned cold and took out their weapons, rushing out.
“Now isn’t our shift. Don’t go out. There are disciples to defend!” ordered Zhou Kun.
“District chief, there are too many enemies! I-!”
“If you know I’m the district chief, then you better listen to my orders. Didn’t you hear that they want Long Chen? The trouble that Long Chen causes will have to be handled by himself,” sneered Zhou Kun.
“But, our mines…”
“It’s fine. In any case, this is a trouble that Long Chen caused. Furthermore, he’s in charge of guarding this place. If there are any problems, it’s his responsibility. We’ll just calmly watch.” Zhou Kun stood on a platform to watch the attack with a pleased smile.
You think you’re so amazing, Long Chen? Then I want to see just what you’ll look like when you die. Hehe, the Corrupt path really was fast. They’ve already taken action in just a few days.
Those experts might be masked, but their auras could not be concealed. That disguise was just deceiving themselves.
But in the chaos region, everyone liked to act like this. It had already become something of an unspoken rule. After attacking, people would just refuse to admit that it had been done by them.
There were over a thousand experts attacking now, and they were all in the Xiantian realm. The person leading them was a young man. Perhaps he felt like masking his face was beneath him, but he hadn’t disguised himself at all.
This man was surrounded by runes and led the Corrupt experts to attack. With a wave of his hand, the Corrupt experts split into four groups, going toward four mines. Those were the places the Dragonblood Legion were stationed.
Seeing this, Zhou Kun smiled. Everything was going according to his plan.
No matter what the result was, he would report to the Dao Sect that all the black gold ore in the mines had been taken away by the attackers. Then he would secretly pocket decades’ worth of stock for himself. To the Dao Sect, that was nothing. But to the Zhou family, it was a large amount of wealth.
Not only would they get a favor from the Pill Tower, but they would also cut down one of their enemies and make a huge amount of money. It could entirely be said as to hit three birds with one stone.
Thinking of that, Zhou Kun felt immensely pleased inside. He even had an urge to sing with delight.
“With such a slutty smile, it couldn’t be that you have drawn these people over here on purpose, right?” Suddenly, an icy voice rang out beside Zhuo Kun, causing his soul to almost flee in fright.
At some unknown point, Long Chen had appeared on the same platform as him, indifferently watching the battle unfold.
“You… you… how did you come here? Why aren’t you defending! If anything happens to those mines, then no matter how many heads you have, they won’t be enough for your beheading!” cried Zhou Kun, startled and furious.
“Behead me? A person capable of that hasn’t been born yet. If you once more fart like that, I’ll cut off your head right now,” said Long Chen lightly.
“Kill!”
Furious roars rang out from the mines. The Dragonblood warriors charged at the Corrupt experts.
Blood filled the sky; limbs flew everywhere. What shocked the Corrupt experts was that these Meridian Opening brats were like bloodthirsty fiends. Each one of their moves was incredibly ruthless and sharp, and their combat power was too terrifying.
“Brothers, kill! Under boss’s guidance, during the Righteous and Corrupt battle on the 108th monastery, we defeated many times our number. In the first monastery, we did the same against a sneak attack from the Corrupt path. Now, it’s our turn to give them a beating; are we going to let them escape this time?!” Gu Yang raised his spear, charging into the thicket of battle.
“No!”
The Dragonblood warriors seemed to recall their bloodsoaked figures fighting with Long Chen. Their blood began to boil.
The Dragonblood Legion was clearly outnumbered. But they were incredibly fierce, and in the first impact, they killed quite a few Corrupt experts, instantly reducing their morale.
In their recollection, the Righteous path’s cultivators were a bunch of cowards who were afraid of death. And so they always treated them as sheep for the reaping. But today, they encountered the Dragonblood Legion, a group of fierce tigers who were incredibly powerful. They felt a chill. It seemed their roles had been reversed.
As for the young man leading them, he had been charging straight toward the Xuantian Dao Sect’s main building. He hadn’t believed that Long Chen wouldn’t appear.
But now he believed it. Not only had Long Chen not appeared, but they had also run into trouble. The Dragonblood Legion was too terrifying, and even he was shocked.
According to his original orders, he was supposed to wait for other
groups before launching a sneak attack.
But he was a grand Celestial, and he thought that he could dominate the entire mining region on his own. So he had ignored the other members of the Corrupt path, directly coming to kill Long Chen.
According to his style, he would simply trample his enemies, and Long Chen would appear sooner or later.
He was extremely unconvinced of Long Chen’s power. Although he had seen the photographic jades of Long Chen’s battles with Yin Wushang, he considered himself much stronger than Yin Wushang, strong enough to kill Long Chen.
But now the Dragonblood Legion’s strength caused him to panic. Their casualties were too high. He wouldn’t be able to give an explanation once he returned.
He had already ignored the original plan. If something unexpected happened, it would be troublesome for him. He directly charged toward Yue Zifeng’s mine.
That was because Yue Zifeng was too powerful. Wherever he pointed his sword, experts fell and flesh flew through the air. He had to kill him first.
But suddenly, a wind blade slashed through the air. That wind blade was extremely bizarre, as there hadn’t been the slightest sign before it appeared. By the time the young man sensed it, it was already right in front of him.
He hastily dodged, but he was still injured, a long cut appearing on his face. If he had been any slower, his head would have been cut in two.
“Who is it?!”
“The person who will kill you.”
A clear voice rang out from the distance. The young man hastily looked in that direction, only to see a lithe woman slowly walking over.
Who else could that be other than Tang Wan-er? Long Chen had given her the mission to keep watch for any top experts. This opportunity today was truly rare. A Celestial had actually sent himself to them.
Tang Wan-er naturally wouldn’t give up such a chance. She very much wished to know just how strong she currently was, but Long Chen refused to exchange blows with her. Even she didn’t know how strong she was. Today, she had a rare chance to test herself. She was filled with excitement.
“Hehe, little girl, you’re pretty beautiful, and you have the rare ability to control wind. Good, good, I’ve decided, you’re mine!” The Corrupt man’s eyes brightened. It was actually his first time seeing such a beautiful woman.
In the distance, Long Chen curled his lip. Did this person really think he could subdue Tang Wan-er? Even he didn’t have that ability. Who did he think he was?
“Even Long Chen doesn’t have the ability to subdue me. Who do you think you are?” sneered Tang Wan-er.
That made Long Chen startled. Tang Wan-er’s thoughts had been the same as his. Was this the legendary realm of being mentally connected?
“Sorry, this place is a bit crowded. Can you get down?” Long Chen looked at Zhou Kun beside him and frowned slightly. He directly kicked him off the platform and took out a chair, relaxing on it. He would be a peaceful, handsome man who would just calmly watch the battle.
The four mines were split into two regions. They were less than a few miles from each other. To put it frankly, there were really only two battlefields.
Meng Qi and Guo Ran were both in charge of one of them, protecting everyone. Of course, when there was no danger of lives being lost, they wouldn’t interfere.
Meng Qi was a Beast Tamer with a soul item. She killed people without them even noticing. As for Guo Ran, he had long since placed himself at a high vantage point, and he would occasionally shoot his crossbow.
But although the battle was extremely fierce, it still hadn’t reached the point where they needed to join in.
Long Chen also hoped they wouldn’t have to join in. If they did, that would expose them, and it would also cause the Dragonblood Legion to form a dependence on them. That was not beneficial to the kind of instincts a person needed in the midst of a battle.
There was essentially no need for him to worry about those battles. Long Chen simply sat and calmly watched Tang Wan-er. He also wanted to know just how strong she was now.
“Long Chen? Hmph, a coward who doesn’t even dare show his face can be compared to me? Girl, you’re pretty. I’ve taken a fancy to you. Today, no matter what, I’ll be collecting you. Get over here.”
The Corrupt man suddenly released his aura, and the runes around him brightened. His runes directly enveloped Tang Wan-er, and he charged.
“Cry of the Heavenly Daos!”
Suddenly, heaven and earth shivered as a tide of wind blades appeared by Tang Wan-er’s side. In truth, those wind blades were runes.
But they were different from ordinary runes. Each rune in and of itself was also a wind blade. Millions of runes now formed a sea of wind blades that easily broke apart the Corrupt man’s runes.
BOOM!
The Corrupt man’s runic domain collapsed, and he vomited blood, flying back, filled with shock.
“Impossible! How can you be a Celestial?!”
He didn’t dare believe this. Celestials could sense other Celestials through their connection with the Heavenly Daos. But he didn’t sense any Heavenly Dao fluctuations from Tang Wan-er.
That was why he refused to believe this. He had actually said he would collect her. But when she summoned her manifestation, he was completely flabbergasted.
Tang Wan-er wasn’t just capable of summoning her Heavenly Dao manifestation. The scope of her manifestation was even larger than his and much more terrifying.
“Bring out your greatest strength, or you won’t last even a few moves.”
Tang Wan-er icily snorted. Extending her arms, two wind blades appeared in each of her hands. She viciously slashed them toward the Corrupt man.
Chapter 631 Mighty Fairy
BOOM!
Tang Wan-er’s three-foot-long wind blades slashed at the Corrupt man.
The Corrupt man was forced back, but he managed to block with a saber he had taken out. That saber’s back was sawtoothed, appearing extremely sinister.
“Even you think you’re fit to use a saber? And you want to challenge him? I really admire your courage,” said Tang Wan-er indifferently.
Tang Wan-er’s impression was that no saber user could compare to Long Chen. Only when a saber was in his hands could it release its true power. That kind of true domineeringness was something only Long Chen possessed.
“Shut your mouth, slut! I praise your beauty a bit and you act like this? You’ve really pissed me off!” The Corrupt man’s eyes seemed to spit flames.
He was a Celestial, a heavenly genius. Originally, he had already found it hard to accept that he was to handle someone like Long Chen.
Then when he had learned he was supposed to work together with other Celestials to handle Long Chen, he had gone crazy with rage. So he hadn’t waited for the others and had directly come here to kill Long Chen.
But now, before he even encountered Long Chen, he encountered this female fiend, one who was also a Celestial.
Now thinking of how he had said he would collect her, he felt like he had slapped himself in the face.
“Grand and noble lady Wan-er, this sinister Corrupt brat is trying to use despicable words to blaspheme your purity! We definitely can’t have that! Please use your grand and noble hands to end his soul, allowing this world to be truly purified.”
Tang Wan-er’s expression had sunk when she had been cursed by this man, but then Long Chen’s words came from the distance. She almost laughed. This scoudrel really was never serious.
Tang Wan-er shot forward with her sea of wind blades. Her wind blades slashed down on him, making her appear incredibly imposing. She was just like a cold fairy, albeit a bit fierce.
The Corrupt man released immense saber-images against Tang Wan-er’s attacks. Wind blades and saber-images crazily collided, ringing out explosions into the sky and shaking the ground.
At this point, Long Chen also stood up to watch with rapt attention. He sighed emotionally. A Celestial with their own attribute was truly terrifying.
Tang Wan-er’s wind blades were being supported by her Heavenly Dao runes. That power was terrifying, and their durability had reached an abnormal level.
The Corrupt man was also a Celestial, and he even held an Enchanted weapon. However, he was unable to truly bring out his weapon’s strength. He only cared about the weapon’s hardness and durability, which allowed him to bring out his own strength.
Examining his aura, Long Chen saw that he was slightly weaker than Yin Wushang, but the difference wasn’t too big. And yet, under Tang Wan-er’s attacks, he was unable to retaliate, as his runic domain was unable to affect her.
Tang Wan-er’s own runic domain was too large, almost twice the size of his. The only reason she didn’t immediately crush him was because she had yet to familiarize herself with her power. She was unable to control her runes perfectly; otherwise, she would be able to completely suppress him with just her runic domain.
This made Long Chen feel a great deal of pressure. Tang Wan-er had only just gained an initial control over her power, but she was already stronger than Yin Wushang. She was definitely too powerful.
Originally, attribute cultivators were not that common. They were born with an innate affinity toward a kind of energy, and if they then became Celestials, gaining the heavens’ favor, they would become incredibly powerful.
Now, Tang Wan-er was truly giving Long Chen a great deal of pressure. If she continued to grow and fully attuned herself to her power, wouldn’t he be the one who was bullied?
But there was one thing that made Long Chen feel extremely gratified. That was that when Tang Wan-er used her Cry of the Heavenly Daos, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of disgust or dislike.
Furthermore, he saw that the Heavenly Daos didn’t display the slightest bit of rejection toward Tang Wan-er. She could freely enjoy its benefits.
“What is going on? Was it the primal chaos bead? It can even cheat the heavens?”
Long Chen’s heart shook. As someone rejected by the Heavenly Daos, he had extremely negative feelings toward Celestials. Even from afar, he could feel a dislikable aura from them. He had already made his preparations for that.
