Chapter 762 – Coward

“Brother Situ, I will do anything you want me to!” The word “brother” had filled Chen Xu with passion.

“Good!” Situ Yu broke into a smile. He pointed at Long Chen and said, “That brat is only at the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage, but he made me lose face and humiliated me in front of my clansmen. If you see me as your brother, help me kill him. It should be easy for you.”

As long as it was Chen Xu who attacked but not him, Situ Yu could distance himself from this matter.

Chen Xu froze, then he asked, “Brother Situ Yu, do we really want to kill him? Without him, who will save Princess Yan’er?”

“Idiot, I’ve already got a way to save Princess Yan’er. I was just one step away from it today. Tomorrow, I’ll refine something that will save her for sure,” said Situ Yu a little angrily.

Chen Xu was a little afraid when he saw that Situ Yu was angry. He thought for a while. If he did not agree to it, he would not be Situ Yu’s brother anymore. He clenched his teeth and said, “Alright! But if someone starts investigating, you’ve got to help me keep this a secret.”

“Of course. Other than us, only the heavens will know about this!” Situ Yu smiled.

Chen Xu gritted his teeth and his gaze darkened. He started hiking in Long Chen’s direction. When he was about a hundred meters away, Little Cat, who was in the Primordial Realm, noticed him. Little Cat warned Long Chen gently, “Hey, kid, stop focusing on your cultivation. Someone followed you here and is sneaking over now. If I’m right, that’s going to be Situ Yu.”

Thank goodness for Little Cat. Long Chen was currently cultivating the Seven Star Manual and had to stop in a stable manner, or it would cause chaos to his Qi. After he heard Little Cat, he quickly stopped guiding his Qi. When he opened his eyes and stood up, he saw someone speeding towards himself.

“That’s not Situ Yu.” Long Chen could sense that this person’s aura did not belong to Situ Yu. If it was, it would be troublesome for Long Chen. Bai Lan had already reminded him not to cause conflict with Situ Yu. With Situ Yu being a Demon clan member, if Bai Lan protected Long Chen, it would lead to gossip.

This person was a dark-skinned, muscular teenager, who resembled a black panther. Long Chen initially thought this person had only come here out of coincidence, but upon seeing the violent glare, Long Chen no longer thought so. This teenager was surely coming for him, and based on his expression, he had come here with malicious intent.

Long Chen was certain he had never met him before, so he was puzzled. He quickly activated the Soul Swallowing Gaze and saw that just five hundred meters away, there was someone speeding off. That person quickly left Long Chen’s range of vision, which was also five hundred meters.

The second person’s aura was similar to Situ Yu’s. Long Chen was smart, so he roughly figured out what had happened. Before this person could attack, Long Chen said, “Situ Yu sent you to kill me, right?”

Chen Xu froze. Not only did Long Chen not panic, he had also exposed Chen Xu’s secret the moment they met. Chen Xu hurriedly replied, “So what if you know? Since you offended my big brother, you deserve to die!”

Long Chen smiled in exasperation, “I’ve never seen someone as dumb as you. You’ve been used, yet you’re all happy. Situ Yu doesn’t dare kill me, so he sent you. Don’t you know that if you killed me, you’d die too? I’m the only one who can save Princess Yan’er. Don’t you think your clan leader will kill you for this?”

Chen Xu had indeed thought about these things, but he did not believe that Brother Situ Yu, who usually treated him very well, would bring him harm. That was why after Long Chen said those things, he huffed coldly and said, “Don’t try to manipulate me. Today is the day you’ll die!”

Then the teenager pulled a battle knife out of his Universe Pouch. The knife was black and over a meter long. It had a long groove with dried blood inside, painting the image of a fierce tiger. The tiger’s fierce glare was fixed on Long Chen!

“Die!” After he pulled out the knife, Chen Xu roared and charged at Long Chen! He attacked fiercely and quickly like a powerful tiger, and the glint of the blade arrived in front of his eyes instantly.

To kill or not to kill? This was a problem for Long Chen. He had not come to Heavenly Wood City to make enemies. Violence would only be repaid with violence. Long Chen knew that if he killed this teenager, it would lead to more trouble. But if he did not, would this guy ever rest?

Looking at Chen Xu’s gaze, Long Chen knew that this person would not rest until he was killed.

Chen Xu immediately launched into a flurry of violent attacks, launching one powerful move after the other. He lived up to his reputation as an elite disciple of the Demon clan.

But Long Chen was already at the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage. He was no longer the weakling whom anyone could bully when he first arrived in the Ancient Graveyard. Long Chen knew that he wouldn’t even have to use the Dragon Soul Transformation; he could combine the two Emperor Seals and his Blood Devouring Domain to kill this guy.

However, he most wanted to attempt the Big Dipper Step. Since this guy would never recognize the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, and he already had a bit of Seven Star Essence, it was a good opportunity to try the Big Dipper Step.

“Seven Killings Tiger Knife Technique—Shattered Heart!”

Chen Xu’s knife technique grew increasingly vicious; each move had the pure objective of killing Long Chen. With the support of his exuberant essence, he slashed his knife, creating a ray of light that turned into a dark tiger. It shot at Long Chen’s chest with a whoosh.

“Is that all you’ve got?” Long Chen stood in place, smiling at Chen Xu.

“You’re not dodging it? Do you want to die?” Chen Xu froze. He thought Long Chen would fight him for a while, but to his surprise, Long Chen had chosen to give up.

How useless. Although he’s one level lower than me, he wouldn’t be completely stunned by just one casual attack from me, would he? This is so easy,

Chen Xu thought excitedly. He had not expected to complete this task so easily.

“How slow.” When the knife light approached Long Chen’s chest, he suddenly vanished. Translucent star plates appeared beneath his feet in the formation of the Big Dipper. Long Chen was standing on the Dubhe star of the Big Dipper, but then he suddenly vanished and appeared on the Merak star!

Chen Xu’s attack hit nothing.

When Long Chen appeared in another location, the star plate beneath his feet disappeared, so Chen Xu could not anticipate where Long Chen would go next.

How is that possible? How did he dodge it just now? Chen Xu was stunned, and he even stopped moving the knife in his hand.

“There are many things you do not understand. Get out of here. You can’t kill me. Go back and tell Situ Yu that if he wants to fight, he should come himself. Tell him not to be a coward,” Long Chen said with a snicker.

“What?” To Chen Xu, Long Chen was a mere Sixth Earthly Martial Stage weakling who was now speaking in such a brazen manner after just dodging his attack once.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Long Chen’s contemptuous tone infuriated Chen Xu. Without another word, he pounced on Long Chen again. The black knife in his hand shot rays of black light outwards, and each light turned into a roaring tiger flying at Long Chen!

“I refuse to believe that you can dodge these!” Chen Xu sneered as a constant stream of knife lights flew at Long Chen. Very soon, they drowned Long Chen out like a tidal wave!

But something even more shocking happened!

A star plate appeared beneath Long Chen’s feet again. Using an Emperor-tier body combat technique against Chen Xu’s attack was a bit of an overkill. Long Chen quickly changed his location between star plates so that despite the many knife lights, none of them hit him. There were seven star plates, but they were changing so quickly that Chen Xu did not know where Long Chen would appear next!

“How could this be?” Chen Xu was stunned. He sensed that Long Chen was using a very high-level technique, but he did not know what it was.

However, if he could get it, his strength would skyrocket!

With that thought, Chen Xu started to grow excited. He had been hesitant about killing Long Chen, but now, he had made his decision to fight till the end!

“You coward! Do you only know how to dodge? Fight me like a man! Only a bitch would do nothing but dodge!” Chen Xu roared. His footsteps were gentle on the tree branches. The leaves were shockingly large, so when Long Chen stepped on one, Chen Xu came to the same leaf. This leaf was like a fighting arena. Nothing happened to the leaf, despite two people standing on it.

Chen Xu charged until he was just ten meters away from Long Chen, then a blinding light burst from his black knife. This time, he was truly going for the kill, and he was using his most powerful killing technique!

“Dark Knife Shadow!” A powerful knife aura flew at Long Chen accompanied by knife light. The knife aura was powerful and huge. When it flew, it sliced the gigantic leaf in half!

The black knife aura arrived in front of Long Chen!

“Die!” roared Chen Xue.

“You’re too slow.” Long Chen laughed and used the Big Dipper Step. His silhouette flickered and appeared behind Chen Xu. Chen Xu was expecting Long Chen to be chopped in half, but an aura that made his hair stand on end appeared behind him, while Long Chen, who was previously in front of him, had disappeared!
