Chapter 6943 Experts Standing Guard
“Long Chen, what are you doing?!” the man shouted in alarm.
He had no idea why Long Chen would suddenly attack Qin Ming.
“Are you playing games with me? Does the divine capital think I’m an idiot?” Long Chen asked, his voice cold.
With a step, Long Chen suddenly appeared right next to Qin Ming. Seeing this, the other Flying Cloud Guards immediately charged at him.
“How dare you act like this in the divine capital! Courting death!” one of the guards shouted.
“Scram!”
With one shout, starlight surged out of Long Chen. All the Flying Cloud Guards spat blood and flew back. After rolling across the ground, they stopped moving. No one could tell if they were alive or dead.
Long Chen pressed his foot down on Qin Ming’s face.
Qin Ming’s head twisted, and he squealed, feeling like it would burst.
“You were the one who ordered the Flying Cloud Guards to capture me? I admire your guts!” Long Chen sneered.
“Mister Long Chen... spare me... I was only following orders!” Qin Ming begged for mercy as he sensed Long Chen’s sharp killing intent.
“Who ordered you?” demanded Long Chen.
“It was—”
Just then, the void twisted, and a sharp sword tore through the air. This was definitely the attack of a double manifestation Divine Sovereign—an attack seeking to kill.
In response, a sword was drawn with a clear sound, and raging flames burst out.
BOOM!
The sky burst open, revealing a wretched figure—a white-haired elder. He was furious when he saw that the one who stopped him was a young woman. It was Chi Yutong.
Long Chen looked at her and nodded.
He said, “Not bad, but not good enough. Kill him!”
Long Chen praised Chi Yutong for stepping in, but he still thought she lacked confidence. In his view, she needed to fight with the determination to finish her opponent.
Hearing this, Chi Yutong took a deep breath as a rune lit up on her forehead. The power of the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze grew, and its pressure locked onto the elder.
When the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze targeted him, the elder was terrified to find he couldn’t move his body. It felt as if the attack had pulled his soul apart.
Chi Yutong’s sword slashed down right at the elder’s head. She was going for the kill.
“You vicious girl! How dare you challenge the divine capital? You’re asking for death!” someone shouted.
At that moment, two more double manifestation Divine Sovereigns appeared.
But as soon as the two Divine Sovereigns emerged, they crashed to the ground. Half their bodies were buried, and only their legs stuck out, kicking in the air.
Xin Yu had her hands in a seal and smiled mockingly, asking, “Is the divine capital that great? This big sister has already seen the world!”
Now that Chi Yutong was involved, Xin Yu refused to hold back. She used her spirit heart art, throwing their souls into chaos before they even knew what was happening.
At this moment, blood sprayed through the air.
Chi Yutong’s sword had blown the white-haired elder’s head apart. Then, his headless corpse fell to the ground, not moving anymore.
Only then did Chi Yutong realize she had become much stronger. She had just defeated a double manifestation Divine Sovereign with ease.
Xin Yu also noticed her technique had improved a lot. She had disrupted the two Divine Sovereigns so easily that she felt she could have taken over their souls if she wanted.
Both ladies were shocked. Thinking back to the Colored Glass Leaf, they realized they had transformed again after Long Chen’s battle, without even noticing it.
Although these three double manifestation Divine Sovereigns were not necessarily strong, and Chi Yutong and Xin Yu could have beaten them before this, doing so would have taken their all.
Now, someone at that level was no longer a real threat and could be defeated easily.
The fact that they had grown stronger so quickly made them a little afraid of themselves.
When that elder’s headless corpse fell in front of him, Qin Ming was terrified. He had never imagined that Long Chen was so ruthless. He even dared to kill the double manifestation Divine Sovereigns of the divine capital.
“Mister Long Chen, I’ll speak! It was Elder Xifeng! He ordered me to do this!” Qin Ming shouted in terror.
As one of the Flying Cloud Guards, Qin Ming had always been arrogant. He had never expected this day to come. Out of fear, he spilled all the secrets.
Just then, many figures appeared around Long Chen and his comrades.
“Dean Long Chen, you...!”
Amongst these newcomers was a familiar face—Meng Zhaoyu, who had given Long Chen the Divine Assembly’s violet-gold tablet in front of Broken Heaven Mountain.
As an Assembly Elder, when Meng Zhaoyu saw the disciples lying near death on the ground, with two elders half-buried and a headless corpse nearby, he felt as if his head would explode.
“Meng Zhaoyu, you really have guts. You dare to trick me?” Long Chen shouted.
BOOM!
Meng Zhaoyu grunted, feeling like a hammer had smashed him into the ground. He coughed up blood.
Long Chen demanded, “You said Qin Ming was relieved of his duties and imprisoned. Has he been acquitted of all charges in just a few days? Do you think I’m an idiot? Even though I knew you were lying from the beginning, shouldn’t you at least pretend? And now, you send this guy to greet me as soon as I arrive? Are you deliberately insulting me?”
Astral energy roared around Long Chen, shaking the heavens to the point where they seemed about to collapse.
The experts who had come with Meng Zhaoyu felt as if they were about to explode. They bitterly resisted, but they could barely breathe. One wrong breath and they would burst.
Now that they had experienced the terror called Long Chen, all of them were pale.
News of Long Chen’s battle against Yan Sheng had spread far and wide, giving him some fame in the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture. But the senior experts didn’t care much about him.
They knew that rumors were always exaggerated. After all, how strong could a Sovereign Lord disciple be?
Now that Long Chen’s aura froze them in place, they realized that they were frogs at the bottom of a well.
“Mister Long Chen, please listen to me... it was a misunderstanding...” Meng Zhaoyu struggled to explain. Under Long Chen’s terrifying pressure, he couldn’t form complete sentences.
In his heart, Meng Zhaoyu was cursing eighteen generations of Qin Ming’s ancestors. The moment he got back to the divine capital, he already told Qin Ming not to show himself before Long Chen.
But the more someone worried about something, the more likely it was to happen.
While Qin Ming was temporarily relieved of his duties, he spent his days drinking and passing time with the Flying Cloud Guards.
Today, the on-duty guard captain was dispatched on a quick mission, while the new captain was still en route. Coincidentally, the guards on duty were Qin Ming’s subordinates. He was boasting to them when they received a message from the transportation unit requesting the Flying Cloud Guards.
Qin Ming didn’t think much of it and went with his men to check things out. Unfortunately, the guards there didn’t recognize him and didn’t know what would happen. After all, Long Chen only knew Qin Ming’s name, not what he looked like.
When the guard from the transportation formation saw Qin Ming, he naturally reported to him and called his name. Just like that, Qin Ming met his fate.
“Dean Long Chen... spare me...” Meng Zhaoyu gritted his teeth and pleaded for mercy. He felt like he was about to die.
Just then, a streak of light flew over, and an ancient voice rang out.
“Dean Long Chen, have mercy!”
That streak of light merged into Long Chen’s astral domain, and a potent law energy dissolved his domain. It then landed on a stone pillar of the transportation formation, making it tremble and crack visibly.
When Chi Yutong, Xin Yu, and the others saw what that light was, they gasped.
It was a single leaf.
One leaf had dissolved Long Chen’s astral domain, and after striking the stone pillar, the tender emerald leaf was still fine. It was an incredibly shocking sight.
As for Long Chen, when he saw that leaf, he smiled as if he had achieved his goal. He kicked Qin Ming away. Meanwhile, Meng Zhaoyu and the others hastily retreated into the distance.
“Dean Long Chen, you’ve made a long journey. Please rest well in the divine capital!” The ancient voice rang out once more.
“Long Chen, this person is very powerful. Are we going in?” Zi Nuo asked with a serious tone.
A single leaf had broken Long Chen’s astral domain. If they went inside and things went wrong, there would be no way to escape.
“Brother, you are the heir of the Wine God. What are you afraid of? You can’t stay like this! Being so nervous all the time isn’t the Wine God’s style. The true Wine God carried his wine in his hand and never worried. The more nervous you are, the further you get from his path,” Long Chen said seriously.
Zi Nuo was startled and then nodded.
“Let’s go.”
Long Chen took the lead, with everyone following him. They soon arrived at the gates.
Meanwhile, Meng Zhaoyu and the others looked at the headless corpse and shivered. Long Chen had killed someone right at the divine capital’s gates. Was he really planning to defy the heavens?
Once they walked through the front gate, they found their path empty, devoid of a single person to welcome them. Instead, a murderous aura filled the air.
BOOM!
The gate behind them slammed shut, making Chi Yutong and the others jump. It felt like they had just walked into a huge prison, and the punishment ahead would be severe.
Long Chen simply smiled and turned to look at Zi Nuo. Zi Nuo immediately understood what Long Chen wanted.
All of a sudden, Zi Nuo drew his sword, and his sharp Sword Qi slashed toward the second set of city gates barring their way.
