âMo Nian, it seems you no longer want to keep living!â That figure was Mo Nianâs fiancĂ©e, Liu Zongying.
At this moment, Mo Nian had used his masterstroke, pushing Long Chen forward and then fleeing.
âHey, sister-in-law, donât hit me! Iâm not Mo Nian!â Long Chen hastily cried out. At the same time, he gave Mo Nian a vicious cursing inside.
Just now, hadnât he called him a brother? In the blink of an eye, he had sold him out. In midair, Long Chen didnât have any great abilities he could use. Furthermore, that bastard Mo Nian had truly been evil. Long Chenâs posture seemed like he was trying to block Liu Zongying.
âThe two of you can both rot in hell!â
Liu Zongyingâs palm slammed into Long Chenâs chest, causing his blood and qi to flip inside him.
But after pushing him aside, she saw Mo Nian had already disappeared past the end of the street. Liu Zongying let out a furious snort and shot after him.
âSister-in-law, thereâs no need to be this angry! Mo Nian only ordered two women, and all they did was hold hands.â Long Chen kindly âexoneratedâ Mo Nian.
âMo Nian! Today, if I donât skin you completely, I wonât be Liu Zongying!â Her furious cry rang out from the distance.
âGood brother Mo Nian, I can only help you this much.â Long Chen simply looked in that direction.
Mu Xue and the others looked from the distance to Long Chen, their expressions odd. They didnât know what they should say.
âLeader Mu Xue, you guys should get going. Iâll return to Mo Gate. You can come to find me if you need anything.â
After saying goodbye, Long Chen walked on his own towards Mo Gate.
Right now, he didnât know where Mo Nian had gone off to enjoy his love. However, Long Chen didnât have very high hopes for him.
Mo Nian had said that his grandfather had told him that his future growth would be unlimited. The manifestation Mo Nian summoned had those two illusory figures within him. That was not something an ordinary manifestation should have.
But while Mo Nian was filled with confidence towards his future, that was just his future. Currently, he still hadnât gotten used to his new power, and he was not a match for Liu Zongying yet.
Thinking of Liu Zongyingâs swift and decisive temperament, if she caught him, then hehe, the massage she would give him would definitely be very relaxing.
Oh? Long Chen suddenly sensed something odd. A cold smile appeared on his face, and he continued on his original path.
Currently, it was late at night. He was now in a desolate area. According to Mo Nian, this place was a slum. Over ten years ago, a minor epidemic had erupted here, and many people had died. That was why no one had lived here in the past few years.
If they hadnât been rushing, Mo Nian wouldnât have brought Long Chen through this desolate area. Long Chen was unfamiliar with this city, and so he could only go back according to their original path.
Suddenly, a cold light shot straight towards Long Chen. Long Chen tilted to the side, and that cold light shot right past him.
But he hadnât expected the cold light to suddenly explode. A burst of light blinded him.
Over ten black-robed figures rushed out from every direction.
All their weapons attacked Long Chen at the same time. They were incredibly fast and crafty, taking advantage of when Long Chen was blinded to try to kill him immediately.
Those peopleâs weapons collided together. All their weapons ended up hitting nothing but air. They had actually pierced an afterimage, and they immediately had a bad feeling.
A ray of scarlet Saber Qi slashed towards three of them. They didnât even have time to react before they were cut in two.
Only now did everyone else react, viciously attacking Long Chen.
Long Chen blocked their attacks with another slash of his saber and fell back, icily looking at these people. âYou should be Yin Wushangâs chess pieces, correct? He sent you to test me?â
These people were all masked. They were also all Xiantian experts. Furthermore, they didnât seem like ordinary Xiantian experts. Long Chen sensed a familiar aura from them.
The person in charge shouted, and all of them once more charged at him. This time, they completely released the power of their cultivation bases, and a terrifying pressure shook the void.
Long Chenâs saber slashed out again. The void seemed to cry from his power. Their weapons were all forced back by a single swing of his saber.
âThis senseless probing can end here.â
Suddenly, a ball of flames appeared in Long Chenâs left hand. It was only the size of a fist, but as soon as it appeared, a terrifying heat caused all the space within a mile to twist and warp.
âSorry, itâs too late.â
The flame sphere exploded amongst them, instantly enveloping everything within several miles.
This was the flame energy from Long Chenâs Earth Flame. Under Long Chenâs continuous nourishing, the Earth Flame had continuously grown stronger. This attack now was practically apocalyptical.
Those people didnât even have a chance to scream before being burned to ashes.
Several miles outside the battlefield, a man was holding a photographic jade and recording everything.
Seeing those terrifying flames, cold sweat covered him. He blessed his luck that he had been ordered here, or he would also have died.
When the flames finally scattered, an area of three thousand meters had been completely burnt to nothing. Even the ground had disappeared, leaving a huge crater.
âSomethingâs wrong!â
That person suddenly let out a startled cry, as he realized that not only had those people disappeared, but even Long Chen was nowhere to be seen.
âWhatâs wrong? I donât see anything?â Long Chen appeared behind him, looking at the battlefield.
That person immediately turned pale as paper, and he suddenly took out a dagger that emitted a blue light as he stabbed it towards Long Chenâs chest.
That blue light was actually a kind of Antiaris poison. Choosing to use this weapon at this close distance was definitely his best option. The fact that he could instantly make the most correct judgment at this time meant this person was a true expert.
But as his dagger was about to reach Long Chenâs heart, it stopped.
A large hand was clenching his throat, and a domineering spiritual qi had sealed his body, making it so he didnât even have the ability to move a finger.
âI really canât understand why Yin Wushang would send you people to your deaths like this. Even if he wanted to test me out, he should have sent stronger people.
âOr is it that he is looking down on me, thinking Iâm the same person he managed to chase down? Did he really think a few random people could probe my strength?â Long Chen icily looked at him.
He really was unable to understand why someone would do something so foolish as to vainly send their own people to their deaths.
Or was it that these people were disobedient and he didnât like them? Did he want to use Long Chen to get rid of them?
âLong Chen, spare me! I had no choice! I was ordered! I have a family, childrenâŠâ
Long Chen slightly increased his strength and directly snapped his neck. At the same time, he forcibly dispersed his soul.
His corpse fell from his hand. His eyes were popping out and open in death.
âHave you seen enough?â asked Long Chen, clasping his hands behind his back.
After he said that, a figure slowly walked out from the darkness. She was slender and lithe, a white veil covering her face.
âWhy did you have to do this? He already begged for mercy, and his courage was already broken by you. He wouldnât be your enemy ever again. Why couldnât you give him a path to live?â This woman was Zi Yan.
âIs that your Humane Dao?â Long Chen didnât reply, instead asking her a question.
âEvery person has a humane heart. However, it is deliberately hidden by themselves. Why donât you try releasing your humane heart? Only then can you release other peopleâs humane hearts, creating a cycle of virtue. If that happened, this world would no longer be the way it is,â said Zi Yan somewhat regretfully.
Long Chen suddenly raised his head and laughed, his laughter extremely crazy. âJunior sister Zi Yan, have you heard of a certain story?
âThere was once a crown prince who stood at the top of the city walls. He looked down on those countless starving refugees whose crops had failed. They were crazily digging out grass and pulling off tree bark to allay their own hunger. At the same time, many of them died from starvation.
âThat crown prince asked the chancellor beside him: why donât those people eat some meat if theyâre so hungry?â
Zi Yan shook her head. âIâm not judging your actions while trying to stand high above you morally. I justâ
Long Chen sneered, âYou arenât judging, but you are tactfully criticizing. As expected, you really are a high-class person. These methods really are different from what a low-class person like myself can think of.
âThe heights we stand on are different. Your parents, your family, theyâre safe. But Iâm different. If I am weak, if I am compassionate, I will bring pain to those close to me.
âYou say heâs innocent? Then when he tried to kill me, did he once think about my father, my mother, my family?
âAccording to you, his courage was broken by me so he temporarily wouldnât be enemies with me anymore. But can you guarantee that if his master ordered him to kill my family, he definitely wouldnât go?
âWhy donât you say something? Is it because you canât guarantee that? Let alone you, even a god is unable to change a personâs nature.
âSince thereâs no guarantee, why canât I kill him? He had a murderous heart towards me, so why must I take the risk to have a humane heart for him?
âWhy would I bring pain to the people by my side? Why would I bring pain to myself? Isnât that just too stupid?â sneered Long Chen.
âLong Chen, youâre too extremeâŠâ said Zi Yan.
âWhether or not Iâm extreme is my own affair. Miss Zi Yan, I wonât bother you about how you tried to peer into my secrets previously. This matter ends here. You and I are people in different worlds. I donât care if you have good intentions towards me. Iâd ask you not to meddle in my matters, or weâll become enemies.â
Long Chen left this final sentence before turning and leaving. The only one left was Zi Yan, standing in the darkness of the night.
