Chapter 335 - Annihilating the Dwarves

All eyes were on Long Chen. Although the crowd was far away, they could feel the terrifying killing intent radiating from him. Seeing Xiaolang end up unconscious just because he wanted to save him left Long Chen completely enraged.

All the dwarves stepped back in fear when his gaze swept across them.

Song Zhongcheng looked at him with uncertainty, then he snapped out of his shock and said, “What’s going on today? Why are y’all too weak to fight? And you both decided to burn your lives away? That wolf did not hold up for long. Long Chen, how long do you think you can hold up?”

“Long enough to take your life,” Long Chen said flatly, his eyes fixed on Song Zhongchen. The dwarves felt chills when they heard his hoarse voice.

“You’re only putting on a show!” Song Zhongcheng snickered in contempt. He descended from the roof, pointed his dagger forward, and said, “Do you know? This is an advanced Earth-tier weapon, the Hell King Blade, the highest-tiered weapon we dwarves have. Just now, I was merely showing mercy, which was why I did not stab you in the heart. Very soon, this blade will be in your heart!”

“Is that so?” Long Chen’s killing intent exploded when he looked at him!

His Qi was stronger than Song Zhongcheng’s Qi. When it erupted, the dust on the ground flew in the air!

“These are puny tricks! Trading your life for strength will only end in tragedy! Let me give you a taste of my most powerful technique!”

Holding the Hell King Blade tightly, an aura belonging to an Eighth River Stage cultivator exploded from his body. Qi surged furiously through him, and strange images appeared on the blade.

“Hell King Illusory Killing Technique!”

The crowd heard a shrill cry, and the Hell King Blade was the source. Everyone felt like the world had stopped when countless illusions of Song Zhongcheng covered the sky above Long Chen. They then charged at him!

The world was suddenly engulfed in darkness. The only visible object was the Hell King Blade!. A fatal ray of light from the blade flew towards Long Chen’s neck!

“Is that your most powerful technique? Is that all?” The corners of Long Chen’s lips curled upwards.

“Blood Devouring Domain ...” The red mist swirled like swimming dragons, enveloping Song Zhongcheng. It distracted him momentarily; he had experienced this before, but it had never been as terrifying as this! The gravitational pull was suffocating, and he had just unleashed his most powerful attack, so he did not have any defenses. There was now a flaw in the Hell King Illusory Killing Technique!

Long Chen spotted the flaw!

“You’re too slow.”

Long Chen’s laugh rang in Song Zhongcheng’s ears, as if he was next to him. Song Zhongcheng gasped because he felt like his movements had become slower due to the Blood Devouring Domain. Then Long Chen disappeared right before his eyes!

Boom!

Long Chen restricted Song Zhongcheng’s speed using the terrifying gravity of the Blood Devouring Domain and then flashed to his right. A heavy punch landed on Song Zhongcheng’s armpit!

Crack!

The scalp-numbing sound of bones shattering rang out!

Song Zhongcheng shrieked in pain. When his armpit was hit, his Hell King Blade flew out of his hand and was caught by Long Chen!

“You’re too slow!” To Song Zhongcheng’s horror, Long Chen disappeared once more. With the Hell King Blade in hand, Long Chen was a devil in the dark!

To be honest, Long Chen was not as fast as Song Zhongcheng was. However, the Blood Devouring Domain had restricted the latter’s speed by two-thirds. The powerful pull had suppressed his Qi also by two-thirds!

And thus, there was a surprising turn of events. Long Chen was now torturing the clumsy Song Zhongcheng within the Blood Devouring Domain!

“Since you stabbed me once, I’ll stab you ten times! You damn dwarf, I hope you enjoy this!”

The Hell King Blade pierced through Song Zhongcheng’s abdomen, and he let out a piercing scream. Long Chen ignored him and pierced his lung next!

Fresh blood poured out. Song Zhongcheng’s screams from within the Blood Devouring Domain made all the dwarves collapse with fright. They had lost all ability to think. They didn’t even know if they could run!

When Song Zhongcheng screamed for the ninth time, Long Chen slashed his head off with the last cut. The fat, large head rolled over to the dwarves, who screamed!

The Eighth River Stage Song Zhongcheng had died by his hand. This shocking news would shake the whole kingdom once more!

The most powerful member of the Harmony family was dead. The dwarves were stunned, hurriedly falling to their knees. They cried and groveled in front of Long Chen!

“Mercy! Oh, God, show us mercy! I am willing to give you my wealth, my wife, and my not-yet-matured daughter as an offering!”

“Yes! Please forgive us! We are willing to follow you for the rest of our lives. All our wealth is yours! All our women are also yours!”

The cries of begging and groveling rang.

“You are all just animals ...” Standing in front of them, Long Chen snickered coldly. “Let me show you what self-respect means! What having a spine means! Wealth? Wealth must be owned! No one can take away what I have! Women? We must protect women! Everything I did today was to protect my woman. And you all are willing to offer your women in exchange for your lives? Dwarves? Haha, you have no right to call yourselves human beings! You’re all evolved beasts! Letting you roam the mortal realm will only hurt more people! So, do you think I’ll let you all go? In your dreams!”

Long Chen swung the Hell King Blade over and over, every strike killing one dwarf. Within the influence of the Blood Devouring Domain, no one could escape the fate of death! When all the kneeling people had collapsed, when a river of blood flowed, Long Chen woke up.

He had been vicious because the dwarves were evil, and he hated them to the bone. Of course, he had also been influenced by the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon!

The Harmony family had sent almost all their cultivators to catch him, but the end result was that Long Chen had annihilated the Harmony family! And he had done it single-handedly!

When the news spread, the whole Cangyang Kingdom would be utterly shaken by Long Chen. If he could kill a cultivator of the Eighth River Stage, it meant Long Chen had grown to the level of the number one young cultivator, the Young Sword Emperor, Lin Zichen!

At Clear Water City, when the crowd witnessed the horrific scene, their eyes widened and they gawked at the teenager in disbelief!

Long Chen!

This name was deeply etched in their minds.

“This boy has attained an impressive level that we peasants can only look up to ...” commented the mayor, stroking his beard in shock.

“After he fled the imperial capital, he killed six commanders of the royal guard, then he single-handedly killed the Harmony family, one of the three noble families! Those impressive achievements will make his name known for a thousand years! He will be even more famous than Lin Zichen!”

“Father.” The teenage girl next to him stared at the teenager far away with tears in her eyes. She said worriedly, “Do you think Long Chen will make it out? Didn’t you say that there’s a mysterious person involved in this matter?”

“That person ...” The mayor shook his head. “That person is much, much stronger than Long Chen. Let’s hope the kid is lucky and won’t be stopped.”

The girl’s mind raced. When she glanced at the determined Long Chen, she nodded and privately made a decision.

I need to tell him!

By now, the effects of Blood Sacrifice were starting to fade. Long Chen sensed that his strength would regress to approximately the Third River Stage.

If he were to face more enemies, he would be useless. That was why he was well prepared. He had a reason for using the Hell King Dagger!

This was a matter of life and death, so he had no time to worry about it. The dwarves’ blood would let him live on and protect Ling Xi. He had no choice but to use the Blood Devouring Domain to absorb all the fresh blood, including the Eighth River Stage Song Zhongcheng’s blood!

After using Blood Sacrifice, his strength skyrocketed by two tiers, then regressed by two tiers. The journey ahead would be difficult, so he gritted his teeth and used Blood Transmutation!

The shattered starry rivers inside Long Chen slowly took shape once more under the nourishment of the powerful cultivators’ blood. As time passed and the dwarves turned into dried-up corpses, Long Chen slowly climbed back up to the Fifth River Stage. He was even making progress towards the Sixth River Stage!

The hundred thousand Heavenly River Pills he had received from the Ninth Prince were slowly getting used up.

With so much Qi in me, it’s time to work towards the Sixth River Stage! Since he had made the decision, he had to finish the job! This was a critical time, and Long Chen didn’t mind taking more shortcuts. However, he knew that once this huge ordeal had passed, he would have to learn to cultivate in a stable, honest manner.
