Everything was deathly silent. Only Long Chens voice echoed throughout the field. His domineering words were like a huge hammer that smashed into the core of peoples hearts.

Leaning on his broadsword which was stabbed into the ground, it was as if he were the only person in the world. Even as he just motionlessly stood there, his imposing manner caused people to be awed.
Suddenly he swung his sword, flinging the blood upon it off. In front of everyones gazes, he began to walk over to the fourth prince.
His broadsword dragged along the ground as he walked. Its terrifying weight left a deep scar on the ground. That soft sound as it cut across the ground sounded incredibly loud in peoples ears.
The fourth princes expression changed. His first reaction when Long Chen looked at him was terror. He felt as if a god of death had locked onto him.
Go kill Long Chen. At this moment, the white-robed man who hadnt spoken up until this point put down his teacup. Thinking for a moment, he then added, If you cant kill him, you guys also dont need to live anymore.
Xia Youyus expression changed, but he didnt dare retort. Coldly glancing at the fourth prince, he told the two people behind him, Go.
Long Chen was in the midst of walking forward when three people charged over at him. They were Xia Youyu and the two other Tendon Transformation experts. One of them, the one who no longer had a nose, had almost been killed by Long Tianxiao at the beginning.
Die! Those three werent the slightest bit careless after having seen Long Chen defeat Marquis Ying, a veteran Tendon Transformation expert, in just three moves. They exploded out with their full force as they attacked Long Chen.
Xia Youyu held a steel spear in his hands with a black light shining over it. He was the first to attack, and an ear-piercing sonic boom rang out.
In the distance, Long Tianxiao was completely shocked. Although Xia Youyu was the Grand Xias Emperor, his cultivation base was extremely high. Back when the two empires had been waging war against each other, he had once fought against him.
But back then, the two of them had been completely evenly matched without either able to gain an advantage. Later, Xia Youyu ascended the throne and the two empires relationship improved. No other conflicts like that occurred again.
Seeing his attack today, Long Tianxiao noticed that despite being Emperor, Xia Youyus cultivation base hadnt fallen at all. In fact, his cultivation base was even more refined than before.
His dedication to cultivating was also why Xia Youyu only had two sons. The imperial palace had countless concubines, but he was not at all absorbed with their female charm. That kind of willpower shocked others.
Long Tianxiao cared deeply about his beloved son and was afraid he would be unable to survive. He decided to quickly kill his two opponents and go help him.
Although Long Chen had revealed a completely shocking battle strength, using three Earth class Battle Skills consecutively, he was still too young. He was just in the Blood Condensation realm. Long Tianxiao didnt even know how he had managed to use Earth class Battle Skills consecutively.
But no matter what, three Earth class Battle Skills would greatly exhaust ones spiritual qi. Even Tendon Transformation experts would have run out of spiritual qi. That was what Long Tianxiao was most worried about.
BOOM! Marquis Wu and the other expert worked together to block one of Long Tianxiaos attacks, but their inner organs were greatly shaken
The two of them shivered. Only when three of them had worked together had they managed to just barely draw a tie against Long Tianxiao. Now that Marquis Ying had died, they were immediately unable to endure and became strained.
Unfortunately, they couldnt retreat at this point. Both sides had become like water and fire without any possibility of reconciliation. Retreat only meant death. The only option was to continue resisting. They werent hoping to kill Long Tianxiao. They were merely hoping the others could quickly kill Long Chen and then come to help them.
Seeing Xia Youyus thrust, Long Chen didnt dare be overconfident. His broadsword hacked in front of him.
BOOM! When the sword and spear collided, both parties had to retreat several steps. They both looked at the other in shock.
Long Chen hadnt expected this luxuriously dressed man to be so strong. In terms of pure power, he was an even match for him.
Once Long Chen had advanced to Blood Condensation, his qi and blood had merged, and his strength had explosively grown. Despite Marquis Ying being a Tendon Transformation expert, he could already completely ignore him.
But Xia Youyu had surprisingly blocked his sword. Although neither of them had used their full strength, Long Chen could tell that this person was much, much stronger than Marquis Ying.
Excellent. In all these years, other than Long Tianxiao, you are the only one who could receive a blow from me. Xia Youyu shook out his slightly numb hand.
Although Xia Youyu was the Emperor of the Grand Xia Empire, he was absolutely obsessed with battle. Furthermore, due to his extraordinary strength, his combat ability was unmatched.
In his entire life, when fighting against the same realm, other than Long Tianxiao, no one had ever been a match for him. In fact, he had managed to become Emperor because of his powerful fists.
Having his hand turn slightly numb because of one of Long Chens attack, he was absolutely shocked. But since he absolutely could not show weakness, he ended up boasting confidently.
That doesnt mean youre strong. All it means is that youre a frog in a well who hasnt seen the world. Long Chen coldly snorted. He disliked these kinds of fakers the most, especially those who boasted so confidently without any true strength.
Bastard. Let me see just what qualifications you have to be so insolent. Xia Youyu was infuriated by Long Chens words. As an Emperor, being insulted like this by a teenager was a complete humiliation. His spear shot out. A lotus blossomed on the speartip as it thrust towards Long Chen.
The previous attack had just been a probing attack. He had seen Long Chen kill Marquis Ying in just three moves. And while he was sure that he could also defeat Marquis Ying, he definitely could not kill him within three moves. A seventh Heavenstage of Tendon Transformation expert was not a simple opponent.
So he was actually filled with dread towards Long Chen. Inside he was far from as relaxed as he appeared on the outside. In their previous exchange that had focused on brute strength, he hadnt been able to gain even the slightest advantage.
So this new attack was based on skill and technique. Within a thousand spear images that formed a lotus, his true attack was perfectly hidden. If an opponent guessed wrongly, he would have obtained a chance to kill them in a single blow. That was one of his best moves.
The instant Xia Youyu sent this spear attack, the other two experts also attacked. One held a scimitar while the other held a sickle, completely sealing off any of his possible escape paths.
Seeing those three Tendon Transformation experts attack him at the same time, Long Chens eyes brightened with excitement. Tightly gripping his broadsword in both hands, he coldly shouted:
Whirlwind Slash!
Following his shout, his broadsword slashed in a circle. Waves of qi rolled off from Long Chen into the sky just like a hurricane.
People were unable to see just what was happening inside that pillar-like hurricane. Suddenly, explosive ringing came from within. It sounded like just one sound, but at the same time, it sounded like multiple collisions.
Three sorry figures flew out after that ringing. People were shocked to see that it was Xia Youyus group of three. Xia Youyu stabbed his spear into the ground but was still blown back over thirty meters despite doing his best to stop. An unhealthy red color rose onto his face. He had clearly suffered an injury.
As for the other two, they were not as powerful as Xia Youyu. They were sent tumbling back over a hundred meters before stopping. One of them slowly stood up and directly vomited blood.
As for the other, that was the man whose nose had been removed by Long Tianxiao. He vomited out mouthful after mouthful of blood, in the end fainting directly.
The hurricane finally came to a pause, slowly revealing Long Chen. Some people almost forgot to breath when they saw him.
First, he managed to defeat a Tendon Transformation expert in just three blows. And now he had used one attack to completely force back three experts. This Long Chen was basically a freak.
The white-robed man in the distance finally revealed a shocked expression. Long Chens combat strength caused him to think of those monsters from his sect.
He was just an outer disciple in the sect. This time he had managed to obtain an enormous fortune. As long as he completed the sects mission, he could be promoted to become an inner disciple.
Then he would also obtain the sect Elders personal nurturing. And above the inner disciples were the even higher-ranked core disciple monsters.
Those people were all known to be unrivaled within their realm. Their terrifying talent and strength could cause anyone to go mad from envy.
As for Long Chens current display of strength, while it wasnt enough for the white-robed man to become afraid, he knew that Long Chen was still just at the Blood Condensation realm. With his talent, he could easily stand side by side with those monster-class geniuses.
At the same time as he was shocked, he also felt another uncomfortable feeling. That was perhaps jealousy, an intense, uncontrollable jealousy.
Becoming an inner disciple was his lifes goal. As for a core disciple, that was something he didnt even dare to think about.
But if the sect were to learn of Long Chen, they would definitely do everything they could no matter the price to have him join the sect, and they would make him a core disciple immediately.
A cold light flashed in the white-robed mans eyes. Long Chen had to die. It wasnt only just because he was his chess piece, but also because he didnt want another monster-class genius to emerge.
Long Chen let out a turbid breath. The Whirlwind Slash was as powerful as he had expected, but the exhaustion was also too terrifying.
This move was something Long Chen had personally come up with. It was based on the Three Style Parting Winds various styles. So rather than saying he had come up with it himself, it would be more accurate to say that he had improved upon the Three Style Parting Wind.
After familiarizing himself with the Three Style Parting Wind, he had noticed that its principles were quite excellent and not as rigid as other moves. There was a great deal of room for freedom.
He had improved upon the principle of the Parting Wind Slice, increasing the speed and power, and then adding on the spinning of a martial weapon to form a tornado astral wind attack that created an area attack that blocked everything around him.
Previously, Long Chen had only tested it a bit and found the effect to be quite good. Being attacked by three experts, Long Chen had been a bit afraid that its power wouldnt be enough, and so he had used his full force to attack without holding anything back.
The result was that its power was absolutely shocking. But the price was also very great as well. After just that one attack, he felt that he had used up over half of his spiritual qi.
Long Chen stamped on the ground and charged over. The Whirlwind Slashs power was a pleasant surprise, but the battle hadnt ended yet. His broadsword came slashing down at Xia Youyu.
Xia Youyu still hadnt recovered from that previous attack, and seeing him attack again, he couldnt help being horrified. Long Chen was practically a never-tiring monster!
He took a deep breath. He knew that if he still didnt use his full force, he really would be done for. His entire bodys spiritual qi surged out and madly flowed into his spear.
Crack. The ground beneath his feet began to crack, and the shock in his eyes was replaced with confidence. He thrust his spear forward to meet Long Chen, its power causing the air around it to tremble.
Cliff Destruction Thrust!
An earth-shattering thrust! This was Xia Youyus most powerful attack. It swiftly reached Long Chen.
Long Chen was immediately locked in place by that terrifying aura. Although he had never underestimated Xia Youyu, he had never expected him to possess such a powerful attack. This was definitely something that could threaten his life!
His FengFu Star circulated and spiritual qi immediately passed through his acupuncture points. A strange light appeared over his broadsword.
Then lets decide victory in one final move!
