Chapter 5847: Acting Shamelessly?
Even after witnessing the white-haired man’s death, the Devil Eye Water Lily race and the Daluo Azure Lotus race’s experts still had a hard time believing it.
Anyone who wasn’t blind could see that the white-haired man had possessed the power to crush Long Chen. It was just that Long Chen had the terrifying cauldron that allowed him to escape from his lock.
In other words, the white-haired man hadn’t lost due to lack of strength but because of divine weapons.
But in any case, a loss was a loss. No matter how they looked at it, the result could not be changed. The schemes of the Daluo Azure Lotus race and the Devil Eye Water Lily race had ultimately ended in failure.
“That doesn’t count. You’re a human. How can you represent the Undying race?” Lan Yin[1] shouted from the crowd.
He couldn’t accept this defeat, nor could anyone else on his side.
“That's right, you’re a human, and we are challenging the Undying race! Even if you won, it doesn’t count as a victory for them. Furthermore, you’ve now killed an expert from the Devil Eye Water Lily race. That means there is now a blood debt between us! Just wait to be hunted down by the entire Devil Eye Water Lily race!” other members of the Devil Eye Water Lily race chimed in.
“This match doesn’t count. Does the Undying race really not have any decent disciples? To actually request aid from the human race, is this really the prideful Sovereign King race?”
“Hmph, relying on a human to fight for them—has the great Sovereign King race fallen so low?”
“If you can't afford to lose, don’t agree to fight in the first place! But to actually send out a sinister human to fight for you, what kind of nonsense is that?”“The once-proud Sovereign King race has been reduced to this? They’ve really lost all face!”
The chorus of insults and mockery rained down just as the Undying race’s experts felt the joy of victory. They almost exploded with rage.
When Long Chen won, they claimed he didn’t represent the Undying race. But if he had lost, would they have said the same thing?
If Long Chen didn’t represent the Undying race, why didn’t they speak up earlier? Now, they were bogus excuses. Who could endure such hypocrisy?
Liu Ruyan was enraged. Just as she was about to step forward and fight again, Long Chen vanished.
Pow!
Within the crowd, Lan Yin, who was still hurling insults, was struck in the face and had his throat grabbed by Long Chen.
“Courting death!” exclaimed Aguta.
Seeing Long Chen dare to charge into their midst, Aguta furiously unleashed a punch toward him.
Long Chen raised Lan Yin as a shield, and Aguta instinctively pulled back upon seeing this. Seizing the opportunity, Long Chen retreated back onto the martial stage.
Seeing this, the Devil Eye Water Lily race’s experts were livid and prepared to charge forward.
In response, the Undying race’s experts unleashed their powerful auras and killing intent. They had long since gotten enough of these arrogant pricks. If they dared to take half a step onto the martial stage, the Undying race’s experts would launch a full-scale attack.
However, even as chaos ensued, the beautiful female leader of the Undying race showed no intention of interfering.
As for the experts of the Devil Eye Water Lily race, just as they were about to reach the stage, they hastily came to a stop.
Seeing this, Long Chen sneered. “You really are a pack of dogs. I’d wager your master ordered you to test the Undying race’s power without actually fighting, am I right? You show your fangs, but it’s all an act. You don’t actually dare to attack. First, because it would go against orders. Second, because if you did attack, you would all die here.”
Long Chen’s words echoed through the air, causing the higher-ups of the Devil Eye Water Lily race and the Daluo Azure Lotus race to twitch.
The Undying race’s experts quickly understood. No wonder these people acted like wild dogs but stopped at the same time despite no one physically stopping them.
It meant they had been instructed in advance on how to behave. They absolutely refused to engage the Undying race head-on.
Looking at their expressions, everyone knew that Long Chen was telling the truth. The Undying race’s experts were impressed with him. Scheming was really the human race’s forte.
“To prove I’m not making it up, I will demonstrate!”
Long Chen stabbed a finger into Lan Yin’s head. Lan Yin’s body convulsed violently as the Devil Eye Water Lily race’s experts erupted with rage.
Lan Yin’s body rapidly withered before crumbling into dust. Though the Devil Eye Water Lily race was known for their immense lifeforce, the black lightning flickering on Long Chen’s fingertip rendered it useless.
As Long Chen expected, the mysterious vine’s power was the perfect counter to the Devil Eye Water Lily race’s vitality.
However, when Lan Yin died, no Sovereign sprout qi appeared. It seemed he truly wasn’t a Sovereign sprout.
Long Chen waved his hand, scattering the remnants of Lan Yin into the wind. He gazed coldly at his enraged enemies and shook his head.
Long Chen declared, “I don’t dislike arrogant people, but I dislike those who act more arrogant than me, even worse if they don’t have the power to back up their arrogance. Tell me, where did you get the confidence to act so arrogant when you are merely someone else’s dogs? Come and bite me if you dare.”
Despite their fury, the Devil Eye Water Lily race’s experts still didn’t dare step onto the stage. Seeing this, the Undying race’s experts felt immense satisfaction.
They had always looked unfavorably upon the human race, but at this moment, the man before them was immensely pleasing to their eyes.
A rare smile even appeared on Liu Ruyan’s icy face.
“Long Chen…” growled Aguta through gritted teeth.
Aguta’s face was twisted with fury. His eyes burned red, and his killing intent surged. He stepped forward, ignoring the efforts of his comrades to stop him.
“I, Aguta, challenge you to a blood battle! Do you dare to accept?!”
Aguta’s killing intent exploded, and the Sovereign sprout flame surged around him. His enormous body exuded the presence of a devil god from the depths of hell. Each step he took shook the land.
In his fury, he fully unleashed his aura. Only now did people realize that he was indeed the strongest of the three.
So the white-haired man’s respectful way of speaking to him truly hadn’t been faked. However, if he was indeed the strongest, why did he fight in the second match?
“Aguta? I, Liu Ruyan, will experience your power.”
A cold snort rang out as Liu Ruyan stepped onto the stage beside Long Chen.
