Chapter 5963 Don’t Let Them Live
That disciple had stepped forward at Tong Feng’s signal. His presence was nothing more than a tool to insult Bai Shu, further humiliating him.
However, the moment this disciple stepped forward, Long Chen directly slapped him.
BOOM!
This slap had been simmering in Long Chen’s heart for far too long. As a result, the disciple’s head exploded into a bloody mist, his soul vanishing instantly.
No one expected such a brutal response. Long Chen had directly killed him.
“Courting death!” Tong Feng roared.
In a flash, an ink-black palm struck toward Long Chen like a thunderbolt. Bai Shu reacted instantly, meeting it with his own palm.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion rocked the palace, reducing it to rubble. Long Chen was blasted backward by the immense Sovereign might.
Fortunately, his physical body had undergone another transformation after the dragon pearl’s blessing. With the automatic protection of his dragon blood, he wasn’t harmed.
Bai Shu declared, “Tong Feng, you’ve gone too far. My Dragon Domain would rather shatter as jade than live as common clay. If you dare to act so impetuously again, I, Bai Shu, swear on my very soul that I will kill you today!”
Long Chen saw dragon qi swirling behind Bai Shu and sensed karmic luck gathering on his body.
Tong Feng’s expression changed when he sensed that. He could see Bai Shu was serious. Any further provocation, and Bai Shu would truly go all-out.
At this moment, the Dragon Domain’s experts gathered from all directions, surrounding Tong Feng and the others.
Tong Feng sneered. “Your Dragon Domain has already rotted from the inside. There’s no hope of revival. You’d be better off joining us. We can provide you with the finest cultivation conditions.”
Tong Feng was insulting them right to their faces. Most importantly, his tone was like he was giving charity to a group of beggars, driving them crazy.
“Boss, what’s going on?” asked Guo Ran.
At this moment, the entire Dragonblood Legion quickly gathered around Long Chen.
“They’re dangling a carrot before turning them into glorified slaves, is that right?” guessed Xia Chen.
“That’s about right,” Long Chen replied.
“That guy’s strong. Should we take him out first?” asked Yue Zifeng.
Yue Zifeng’s eyes locked onto Tong Feng, and he was gripping his sword. The stronger the opponent, the more eager he was to fight.
Last time, Yue Zifeng had tapped into the Sword God’s power but mishandled it, weakening the attack and injuring himself. Since then, he had been recovering and reflecting on his mistake. He wanted to test himself out against another powerful expert. When he sensed that Tong Feng’s aura was even stronger than Lian Sanqiang’s, his battle intent surged.
“We’ll wait and see,” said Long Chen.
He wanted to kill Tong Feng as well. With his newfound power and Yue Zifeng’s aid, they had a good shot at it if they caught their opponent off guard.
However, if they failed to kill Tong Feng in one strike, he would retaliate with overwhelming force, bringing catastrophe down on the Dragon Domain.
Since they were on the brink of their Human Emperor tribulation, there was no room for mistakes or open conflict.
Most critically, they had no path of retreat. If they ran, the Dragon Domain would be destroyed. None of them could bear that on their conscience. For now, they had to endure.
While Long Chen and the others hesitated, Tong Feng remained oblivious to the danger. He continued arrogantly, “Children of the Dragon Domain, you have decent talent. But it’s wasted here. If you come with us, you’ll get the best conditions to grow. Only then can you show your true light.”
Long Chen gave Guo Ran a look. Instantly understanding, Guo Ran shouted, “So you’re saying our Dragon Domain’s disciples are trash compared to yours?”
Tong Feng was just about to speak, but Guo Ran’s question made it even easier for him. Tong Feng replied, “That’s right. Even among Sovereign sprouts, our disciples are vastly superior. If you don’t believe me, let’s settle it with ten matches. We have thirty-eight Sovereign sprouts here—”
“Do you think we don’t know how to count? There are only thirty-seven of them. Where’s the last one?” interrupted one of the Dragon Domain’s disciples.
“There are really only thirty-seven. Where’s the thirty-eighth?” asked Guo Ran, a bit confused.
“Oh, I killed one just now,” replied Long Chen.
“Oh.”
This correction made Tong Feng’s expressions grow ugly, but he couldn’t say anything back.
After a moment of silence, Tong Feng coldly continued, “Our disciples are right here. Any Heaven Saint can challenge them. If you can win five matches, we will immediately leave this place!”
Guo Ran and the others were speechless. This game again?
It was the same old ploy—defeat the Dragon Domain’s disciples, shake their confidence, and make them question their loyalty.
If Long Chen hadn’t come, perhaps this plan might have worked. But now, it was different.
“Wufeng...”
Long Chen looked at the distant Chi Wufeng.
Chi Wufeng instantly understood and stepped forward, shouting, “If we’re using victory count, why don’t you all fight? You have thirty-seven disciples, so let’s fight all thirty-seven matches!”
“Then how should we determine the winning side?” asked an opposing disciple.
Tong Feng responded indifferently, “The details don’t matter. If you win eighteen matches, it will count as your victory.”
Tong Feng was extremely confident in his disciples. After all, he had already scanned the Dragon Domain’s ranks with his divine sense. Compared to his team, the Sovereign sprout qi here was clearly weaker by a whole level.
Talent determined the lower limit of one’s power, while resources determined the upper limit. The disparity between them was rooted in resources, which was why Tong Feng had come here.
Long Chen transmitted a message to Chi Wufeng: “Tell every Dragon Domain brother—don’t let them live.”
Chi Wufeng nodded solemnly and used a secret dragon race art to relay Long Chen’s command to every Sovereign sprout present.
In response, their eyes turned razor-sharp. Each one stepped forward like a predator ready to pounce. They picked their targets swiftly. Without waiting for anyone to be the referee or summon a martial stage, they directly fought.
In an instant, blood and flesh splattered through the air. Tong Feng’s disciples were torn apart on the spot, their blood soaking the ground.
Tong Feng and the other two Sovereign Lords’ killing intent erupted.
