Chapter 5798 Blood Debt
“You want to kill me?! Keep dreaming! The Bi family will definitely not just sit and watch!” shouted Bi Yingxiong.
Bi Yingxiong’s face contorted with fury as he saw the race leader actually agreeing to Long Chen’s demand.
“I really don’t want you to just sit and watch,” Long Chen sneered. “I want you to fight with everything you’ve got. Struggle until the bitter end, alright?”
Now, all the Bi family’s disciples and Elders gathered by Bi Yingxiong’s side. Their arrogance had completely vanished, replaced by fear and uncertainty. They felt as though they had plunged into a nightmare. How had the once-weak and cowardly Luo family suddenly become so powerful?
This plaza was now littered with corpses, and ninety-nine percent of them were from the Bi family. The air was thick with the stench of blood, hammering home the grim reality. This wasn’t a dream—this was really happening.
On the opposite side, the Luo family’s warriors stood ready, their weapons gleaming sharply, with Long Chen standing in front of them. The moment he gave the word, they would slaughter the Bi family.
Luo Zichuan was still facing the Shadow Guard. Though the race leader had chosen to be on their side, the Shadow Guard had yet to take a stance. Hence, Luo Zichuan wouldn’t let his guard down for even a second.
Tensions between the two families spiked once again, and a single spark could ignite another all-out battle. The other families present could do nothing but watch in silence.
“Why?” an Elder suddenly stepped forward, sighing heavily. “We already have a greater enemy before us. Must the Luo family be so unyielding? Can this blood feud not be settled after the battle with the devil race?”
“Hahaha!” Long Chen laughed furiously. “The Bi family has oppressed the Luo family for generations. Were you blind all this time? Why didn’t you tell them to step back? The Luo family endured, again and again, retreating further each time. But now, with nowhere left to retreat, you expect us to continue backing down? Because you’re used to it? We refuse—and suddenly, we’re the villains?”
The Elder flushed with embarrassment. Gritting his teeth, he retorted, “If you’ve endured for so many years, what difference does one more time make? Our battle against the devil race is—”
“Shut your fucking mouth!” Long Chen snapped, his patience running dry. “You senile old bastard, keep talking and I’ll kill some of your disciples. Let’s see how well you endure it!”
“You…” The Elder trembled with rage, but one look at Long Chen’s cold, merciless eyes told him this wasn’t an empty threat.
The disciples behind him turned deathly pale, their bodies rigid with fear. They nearly cursed their own Elder. What the hell is he provoking this death god for?!
If even the mighty Bi family had been reduced to this state, what chance did they have? Their small family would be obliterated in an instant! Was this old fool trying to get them all killed?
The experts of the other families also wanted to stop this fight, not because of their relationship with the Bi family, but simply because they couldn’t lose any more forces in their battle against the devil race.
But now, all of them kept their mouths tightly shut. Since their race leader was powerless to stop this, their advice was probably worth less than a dog’s fart.
The race leader sighed. “Bi Yingxiong, you have truly brought catastrophe upon the Bi family.”
Having completely torn down all pretenses, Bi Yingxiong cursed, “You old thing, you are completely unjust! How can a race leader be so biased?!”
Shaking his head sorrowfully, the race leader replied, “I have agreed with Long Chen to spare a portion of your Bi family. If you insist on your foolishness, you will drag the entire Bi family to ruin. You may be wiped from existence.”
His words sent a chill through the gathered experts. It was no wonder Long Chen had provoked Bi Yingxiong into fighting to the end. He wanted an excuse to eradicate the Bi family.
Long Chen only snorted in response. The race leader wanted to persuade Bi Yingxiong to surrender, but Long Chen knew Bi Yingxiong too well. A selfish man like him would never sacrifice himself for the greater good, not even for the survival of his family.
Taking a deep breath, Long Chen activated his dragon blood power. His gaze sharpened into a blade, locking onto Bi Yingxiong.
As the lock set in, Bi Yingxiong’s soul shuddered, and a cold sweat drenched his back. Under the pressure of the Earth Cauldron’s aura, his Divine Emperor might was meaningless. He had no way to resist the lock.
Then—
Puchi!
A sword pierced through Bi Yingxiong’s back, its tip emerging from his chest.
Even Long Chen was caught off guard. The one who had struck… was an Elder from the Bi family.
Bi Yingxiong turned his head in disbelief. His lips trembled as he stared at the traitor.
“Family head… don’t be selfish,” the Elder said hoarsely, his face filled with sorrow. “Don’t drag innocent people down with you.”
Sensing the lock, the Elder had taken the chance to stab Bi Yingxiong from the back.
“Bi Yang, have you gone crazy?!” Several other Elders roared in fury and lunged at him.
“Forgive me, family head!”
BOOM!
Bi Yang detonated his bloodline power and his divine weapon, causing a violent explosion to engulf him and Bi Yingxiong.
Flesh and blood splattered in all directions.
The Elders who had rushed forward were caught in the blast, drenched in the blood of their former leader.
A deathly silence fell over the battlefield.
“Elders, we’re innocent! We know nothing about the sneak attack on the Luo family! If you did something, then take responsibility for it. Don’t implicate us!”
“Why must we die for something we had no part in?! Elders, please… don’t let this go on any longer! We don’t want to die!”
Desperate cries erupted from the Bi family’s disciples. They weren’t fools. From the way events had unfolded, they had pieced together the truth. Now, they had a rough understanding of what had happened.
They had nothing to do with the Luo family’s massacre. Hence, they weren’t willing to die for the crimes of a few higher-ups.
Long Chen was so strong that the race leader had compromised with him, while Luo Zichuan was an expert capable of contending with the Shadow Guard. How could the Bi family go against them?
If they continued to fight, it would only give Long Chen justification to slaughter them all.
In the last battle, they had witnessed true viciousness. Long Chen had truly and completely broken their courage.
One by one, the Bi family’s disciples knelt, pleading with the Elders to surrender. The Elders turned to Long Chen, then to the race leader. Their hands trembled as they hesitated.
In the end, they let their weapons drop.
Still, they did not immediately end their own lives. They clung to a sliver of hope, waiting for judgment.
At this moment, the Elders and elite disciples who had participated in the attack stepped forward. Bi Tianxing and the others looked ashen. They had fled the battlefield, only to be dragged back into this calamity.
When they showed up, Luo Yanfeng and the others gnashed their teeth.
All of the main culprits came out. After all, Long Chen had said that if the Bi family dared to hide a single one of them, he would kill the entire Bi family.
Although that was just a threat, the Bi family didn’t dare to gamble on it. Everyone within the Bi family kept an eye on each other, making sure no one did anything that would get them all killed.
Over twenty thousand elite disciples and dozens of core Elders—every last one who had taken part in the massacre—were gathered for execution.
A suffocating stillness filled the air.
Long Chen turned to Luo Zichuan.
“I’ll do it,” Luo Zichuan said.
At that moment, the Battle God Drum rumbled, and its divine light engulfed the plaza. The next second, twenty thousand bodies collapsed to the ground—all lifeless.
“Race leader…”
Luo Zichuan’s eyes flickered with shock.
The blood debt had been paid.
