Chapter 825 - Eve
Long Chen had always been one to do unexpected things, and although Bai Lan and the other people were used to it, they were still sweating at a moment like this.
He had taken the full brunt of the intermediate Emperor-tier attack. Who would dare do such a thing? Not even Bai Lan and the others were stupid enough to do something like that.
After the loud boom, Long Chen was thrown back into the air.
“Long Chen!” Suxue was frozen with shock. She descended woodenly and stood in her spot in disbelief. However, she was privately resentful too. She was just slightly venting her anger on him; how could she have known that he would do this?
That was completely Long Chen’s decision. It had nothing to do with her.
When she saw Long Chen fly through the air, she rushed over to him.
Was he dead?
This was the question that popped into everyone’s minds, but then they saw the flying body suddenly flip, and he stably landed on the ground.
That bitch! Her attack was definitely very strong! Long Chen was privately regretting his decision ten thousand times over. The pain in his chest was making him grit his teeth. He actually had blocked her attack by gathering all the celestial Qi from the Seven Star Body in his chest. The celestial Qi would also bring harm to Suxue, so in the end, Suxue retracted some of her force.
The Three Thousand Star Clusters also helped Long Chen block the attack. It was made out of three thousand stars, so under his control, they formed a circular shield at his chest. Very few people saw this, and even Suxue was not sure what had happened. She had not expected him to not dodge her attack at all!
She had merely wanted to complete a full set of the Divine Demon Nine Spins. If she still had not defeated Long Chen by then, she would have automatically admitted defeat.
To her surprise, Long Chen had not dodged her attack, which stunned her, and she frantically tried to retract the final spin.
She was familiar with exactly how strong it was, and even thought Long Chen would die. But after Long Chen was hit, although his face was pale and there was a little blood on the corner of his mouth, his essence was still strong and his gaze was still sharp.
When she saw his response, she hurriedly stopped in front of him.
The whole place was absolutely silent for a moment.
“Why ... why didn’t you dodge?” she stuttered after she saw that he had survived.
Long Chen withstood the fiery pain in his chest, gritting his teeth. He looked at her determinedly and said, “Don’t overthink it. I’m just trying to see how strong my body is. Since you weren’t able to defeat me, it’ll be my turn to attack you next.”
Is that really the case? Suxue asked in her heart as she stared at him hesitantly. She had a feeling that it was not the only reason.
“Let’s continue,” said Long Chen, raising his hand.
“There’s no need.” Suxue shook her head, took a glance at Bai Lan, then said, “I have already lost. You win.”
Even her most powerful attack had barely damaged Long Chen, so she had lost. She did not say anything else and walked past Long Chen to return to her spot behind Bai Lan. Long Chen’s reaction had made her very emotional.
Those black-robed people—no, they’re from the demon race. They said they want to give away the Black Emperor Key, but when? Once we receive news about the Black Emperor Key, the patriarchs of the nine clans, the Long-Bearded Guest, Ancestor Jin, and the others will not be able to stand still.
Long Chen hoped that the news would not come too quickly, or it would ruin his plan for defeating Wu Guangyu.
Taking Xiaolang from him was an unforgivable offense. If it wasn’t for the fact that Xiaolang was not affected by Wu Guangyu’s hypnosis, Long Chen and Xiaolang’s brotherly relationship would have been broken just like that.
This was a major offense.
The most anticipated moment had come. The Martial Youth Competition was about to end, and it was time for the final duel. Everyone was a little anxious. It was noon, and very soon, Bai Lan arrived. He and Long Chen locked eyes. Long Chen did not speak as they made their way to the outside of Confounding City.
“I won’t say much. For my sake, for Xue’er and Yan’er’s sakes, you must keep yourself alive. Be careful,” Bai Lan said calmly.
“Alright.” Long Chen did not have much to say.
Suxue was behind Bai Lan. Long Chen was about to enter the most important fight, and the results were uncertain. Despite her reservations with him, she let them go and whispered, “Be careful.”
“Just hearing that from you is enough,” Long Chen said with a grin.
He turned around and looked at the Divine clan.
Feng Zhilin, Feng Qing, Wu Guangyu, Wu Lian, and the elders of the Divine Wind Faction were there. They were all experts at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage and above. All of them were looking at Long Chen, and a powerful aura swept toward him. This imposing force was enough to make anyone nervous.
But it did not scare Long Chen.
The expressions from the Divine Wind Faction were icy, like permafrost that could not melt in ten thousand years. Sky-high killing intent erupted from every one of them. Their objective was to intimidate Long Chen.
Do you think you can scare me with such cheap tricks? Long Chen’s gaze turned cold. He straightened his back and walked forward. Purple celestial Qi swirled around his body, forming a thin membrane. Killing intent as strong as his opponents’ radiated from him.
He strode to the center between both factions. He was not intimidated by them at all.
The Divine Wind Faction immediately felt bored by his lack of reaction. After they retracted their auras, they put on nonchalant expressions.
“Yu’er, go,” Wu Lian said gently in the center of the group.
Wu Guangyu nodded. Everyone watched with anticipation as he arrived in front of Long Chen in a flash. Sophisticated but terrifying power radiated from his body.
That was the Azure Lotus Lord’s inheritance.
Long Chen’s journey had led him to become one of the two strongest prodigies of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory.
His starting point was countless times lower than Wu Guangyu, but he had made it anyway. Because he was Long Chen.
