Chapter 196 Traitors
“FengFu Battle Armor - Appear!” Long Chen let out a shout inside his mind .
When he once more opened his eyes, a star had appeared in his eyes .
BUZZZ! Space trembled and Qi waves soared into the sky . A terrifying pressure shot out in all directions . The current Long Chen was like an awakened ancient beast, his ferociousness shaking the land .
The flame blade in his hand that was only a couple meters long immediately grew to the size of one hundred and fifty meters . It was like a heavenly blade as it slashed down on the two of them .
BOOM!!
Qi Xin and Lei Qianshang were immediately like two weeds miserably struck back . They only managed to stabilize once they had been knocked back hundreds of meters .
The surrounding people were all given an absolute fright when they saw Long Chen’s attack . They were completely stupefied as they saw both Qi Xin and Lei Qianshang miserably sent flying .
Standing at the top of the mountainside was Elder Sun . He involuntarily stood up, his eyes shining as he stared at Long Chen .
Ling Yun-zi was also moved . “What a powerful Battle Skill! It allowed him to instantly release a strength tens of times greater than usual . His current aura is almost comparable to the Muscle Rebirth realm . ”
Tu Fang was given a shock . That explosive power was at least dozens of times stronger than it had been before . How could this world really contain such a terrifying Battle Skill?
After sending them flying, Long Chen knew that he had to finish this as quickly as possible .
Stepping forward, he charged back at the two of them, slashing down ferociously with his flame blade .
Both Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin were absolutely shocked . At the same time their fury also exploded . The two of them were Muscle Rebirth experts, and core disciples as well! But they were miserably forced back .
Previously they had been careless, just playing with Long Chen as a kind of humiliation . They had never thought Long Chen would release such a powerful strength . They no longer dared be overconfident .
Both of their auras completely exploded out . Their huge blades explosively grew as they charged at Long Chen .
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
The frantic collisions of those huge blades caused the land to split, stones to fly, shocking everyone around them so much that they had to quickly retreat .
The current Long Chen really was like a god of war . He actually blocked all of Qi Xin and Lei Qianshang’s attacks head-on .
But that still wasn’t enough for him .
Long Chen could sense his FengFu Battle Armor’s spiritual qi rapidly running out . In just a couple breaths, he would be running on empty .
“Time to risk it all . ” Long Chen clenched his teeth and raised his flame blade high into the air . All the energy within his FengFu Star surged into his flame blade .
His flame blade immediately began to crazily grow . The runes on top of it became increasingly clear .
“Split the Heavens!”
Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin’s expressions changed . They recognized this move as the one Long Chen had used to defeat Gui Sha .
Now Long Chen was using it again, and it was even more powerful than before . They both turned numb inside, quickly exploding out with all their strength without leaving the slightest bit in reserve .
“Water Arrow World!”
“Thunder Blade Destroying Space!”
The both of them brought out their strongest moves . Three lights collided in the air . Terrifying energy exploded out, sending the surrounding people flying . Those who were too close directly fainted .
When that backlash Qi wave struck him, Long Chen was already powerless to resist and sent flying . As for Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin, they were also not better off than him and buried under the ground .
Long Chen panted for breath . His flame blade completely disappeared along with his divine ring . His spiritual qi was almost exhausted .
Raising his head to look at the incense stick, he saw that it was about to reach the end .
“Protect the flagbearer!” Long Chen suddenly let out a loud shout as he saw there were people charging at Guo Ran . Right now there were only twenty-something people still standing beside Guo Ran .
Hearing his shout, they hastily surrounded Guo Ran, frantically fighting off against those people .
“Die!”
Long Chen was suddenly struck in the back and sent flying by Lei Qianshang .
He directly coughed out blood in midair . Without spiritual qi to protect his body, his organs were all heavily injured, beginning to break down .
Falling on the ground, Long Chen coughed up even more blood . But he didn’t even care about his injuries, still looking at Guo Ran .
He hoped those people would be able to endure just a couple more breaths . Victory was within reach . Long Chen’s heart was about to pound out of his chest . This matter concerned all their futures .
Qi Xin icily looked at him and sneered, “Long Chen, do you remember? I said that I’d make you regret ever being born in this world . It’s time for my revenge .
“Now!”
Hearing Qi Xin suddenly shout, Long Chen’s expression suddenly changed and he roared, “Careful Guo Ran!”
Guo Ran had only just heard his warning when he felt a sharp pain from his back, causing him to vomit out blood .
Guo Ran saw that this attacker was actually someone who had been protecting him this entire time . “You…”
But before he could even say anything, his right rib was struck by someone else, the sounds of bone breaking causing people to wince .
Suddenly he felt his back lighten as his flag case was snatched away . Guo Ran actually frantically ignored his pain and grabbed onto the flag case, wanting to grab it back . That was something that would determine everyone’s fates .
Furthermore he had promised Long Chen he would protect the flag case even if he died . He tightly held on to it .
“Bastard, let go!”
That person tried pulling several times but was unable to get him to release it . The two people who had attacked him first now came up and stamped on his arm ruthlessly .
The sound of his bones cracking rang out . Both his arms were now broken, but Guo Ran still didn’t let go .
BANG!
That person kicked Guo Ran in the stomach, causing him to vomit out more blood and he was sent flying .
Those people who surrounded him had been fighting off outer attacks this entire time . They hadn’t even realized anything was happening behind them . By the time they turned to look, that person had already taken the flag case and thrown it into the distance .
Someone from Gu Yang’s faction had already long since been ready and caught it, putting all the flags into their faction’s case .
DONG!
The incense stick finally burnt away and the loud bell signified the end of the competition .
All the fighting stopped . Tang Wan-er turned to look at Guo Ran and saw those three traitors’ icy smiles . To her it felt as if all of heaven and earth had changed color .
“Long Chen, I’ve already said I’d make you life a death worse than death . Now you believe me right, hahaha!” Qi Xin’s unbridled laughter echoed throughout .
A similar tragedy had also struck Ye Zhiqiu’s side . Two of their disciples had turned traitor, sending their flags to their enemies .
Long Chen slowed walked over to Tang Wan-er . Seeing her inconsolable expression, his heart ached .
“Long Chen…” Tang Wan-er hugged onto Long Chen and sobbed with grief . “Why is this? Why is this?!”
She had always been devoted to her people . She had never imagined there would be people to betray her . That caused her to feel even more grief than just losing . It was as if someone was twisting a knife in her heart .
“Tang Wan-er, how is it? Now I’ll give you another chance to join hands with me . ” Seeing Tang Wan-er actually go to Long Chen to cry, Gu Yang was actually furious .
Long Chen icily glanced at Gu Yang . “I will make you repay this one hundred times . ”
Gently patting Tang Wan-er, Long Chen walked over to those three traitors . Those three had all joined the Heaven Earth Faction later when Tang Wan-er and Guo Ran had gone to find some fresh talent .
Tang Wan-er was filled with remorse . She hated herself for being so blind . She actually didn’t know how to judge people . If it was Long chen, he definitely wouldn’t have let such people join them . The more she thought about that, the more grief she felt .
“Sorry Long Chen, we’re just working for our master . Who asked you guys to not know how to appreciate kindness?”
One of them apologized, but everyone could see he wasn’t the slightest bit apologetic .
Tu Fang angrily stood up . “This is too much! I really have been blind to allow such people to join the Xuantian Monastery!”
Tu Fang wasn’t just speaking of those three, but also those people who had used them .
An honorable and open competition had been turned into a game of traitors by them . That was completely contrary to the competition’s intentions .
“Trash will never throw itself into the trash can . What are you so angry about?” Ling Yun-zi only lightly sipped some tea .
“Sect leader, you want to let them off just like this?!” Tu Fang was clearly infuriated .
“Hahaa, Tu Fang, you’re also this old now . How can you still not see through what will happen? Since trash won’t throw itself away, don’t we just need someone to clean it up?” smiled Ling Yun-zi .
“You mean…” Tu Fang stiffened .
“Just calm down a bit . Normally you’d handle all this trash, but this time you can rest and watch a show . Come, drink some more tea!” Ling Yun-zi raised a teacup, his eyes focused on Long Chen . A golden light shined within his eyes .
If the legends really were true, he knew what he would do .
Long Chen didn’t even respond to that person’s words . He walked up to Guo Ran . Currently Guo Ran had fractures everywhere and his aura was extremely chaotic .
Guo Ran was extremely sullen . Having been sneak attacked, he hadn’t had any defences at all .
“Im sorry boss . I should die . I didn’t accomplish the mission you gave me . ” Guo Ran began to cry .
“Good brother, you did well . This isn’t your fault,” consoled Long Chen .
Guo Ran truly had done extremely well . Although he might appear like a slippery character on the outside, he was a real man who kept his promises .
Otherwise he also wouldn’t have been beaten to such a state while still refusing to let go of the flag case . At that time the only thing he had been thinking of was those flags, the futures and honor of everyone . He hadn’t even cared about his own life .
“Boss, if only I were a bit stronger, if I was just a bit smarter, this wouldn’t have happened . I should die…” Guo Ran sobbed like a child .
Long Chen gently placed his hand on the back of Guo Ran’s head . Feeding him a healing medicinal pill, he let him faint . Otherwise such an impact was not good for his spirit and might even affect his Dao-heart .
Placing Guo Ran down, Long Chen walked over to the three traitors icily .
One of them sneered and tilted his head at him . “What, you don’t accept it? You can try and get back at us next time .
“But I don’t think you’ll have that opportunity . Now you’ll forever be trampled by us, forever starving, hahaha-”
Plop .
