That sword instantly arrived in front of Long Chen, causing others to jump in fright.
That sword was a divine item that had been sent flying by the current expert challenging the man enveloped by divine light. It was actually coincidentally flying toward Long Chen.
The power of that sword made the people beside him turn pale with terror. Even if Long Chen blocked it, the shockwaves would definitely kill them.
However, the sword suddenly came to a stop in the air. The immense power it was unleashing also vanished, like a stone falling into a sea. Two fingers had caught the tip of the sword, wiping out all the power behind it.
Long Chen hadnât wanted to cause a disturbance here. By accompanying these women into the crowd here, he had been very low key. But this action of his immediately drew everyoneâs attention.
Startled cries out. Of everyone present, the only one capable of stopping such a terrifying attack like this was Long Chen.
âSorry, senior apprentice-brother Long ChenâŚâ The red-faced ancient race disciple walked over. That sword was his. Not only had he lost, but his sword even caused such a ruckus. It was an embarrassment.
This disciple had actually gone into the Brahma secret realm as well. He hadnât joined Pill Valleyâs side, so he couldnât count as Long Chenâs enemy. In fact, because Long Chen had let people like him into the core region and cut down the divine pillars so that everyone could benefit, he was actually quite grateful to him.
âWinning and losing is common. I also almost lost my life in Pill Valley, but Iâm still living well now.â Long Chen smiled slightly and returned the sword to him.
That disciple couldnât help feeling grateful. The comfort of a supreme expert like Long Chen was especially touching.
It was true that in the end, it was Long Chen who had fled from the battle in the Brahma secret realm. But no one could say that he had lost. For Long Chen to use his own wretched state to comfort this person made the surrounding experts feel even greater respect for him. They also understood why Long Chen possessed such powerful charisma. Other experts did not treat the weak kindly while still being domineering in the face of other experts.
In fact, it was commonly the opposite for other experts. They were show-offs in front of the weak while dogs in front of the strong. This was also one reason why so many people worshipped Long Chen.
People looked toward the women that had been with Long Chen. They didnât seem too special.
âYou are Long Chen?â The man in divine light looked down at Long Chen from the sky.
Long Chen smiled derisively. âWhy bother asking? If you didnât know who I was, would you have tested me like this?â
The sword that Long Chen had just blocked hadnât just contained the power of the ancient race disciple. It had also contained this mysterious manâs power. He had clearly sent it flying over to Long Chen intentionally.
âHmph, I heard that you claim to be the present ageâs strongest expert?â
âWere you sleeping in a coffin for so long that your ears rotted, or did your brain turn to mush? Who said that I claimed to be the strongest? Ignoring others, the Wine God Palaceâs High Priest and the Divine Ice Palaceâs Daoist Heavenly Feather could crush me with a single finger. If you want to challenge me, find a better reason. To tell the truth, Iâve long since grown tired of this kind of unchanging show-off method.â Long Chen shook his head.
The other experts present couldnât help cheering for this development. They had long since found this mysterious man to be irritating. His mouth was especially malicious.
Everyone on the continent knew Long Chenâs character. His arrogance was not a show for others. He wouldnât say something like he was the strongest person in the world. This was clearly a taunt.
âHmph, cut the crap. Do you dare to fight?â demanded the mysterious man.
âNope.â Long Chen shrugged indifferently.
âYouâŚâ The mysterious man almost coughed up blood. This response was especially unexpected.
âI still havenât recovered from my last battle, so I donât want to fight. Thatâs one reason. Another reason is that I donât like meaningless battles, nor do I exchange pointers with people for some empty title. If you want to say that youâre the strongest, then youâre the strongest. If you want to say that Iâm trash, then fine, my skin isnât made of paper. But you should know that even arrogance has its limits. If you go past a certain point, youâll have to pay a price.â Long Chen had long since stopped being the youth that had walked out of the Phoenix Cry Empire whose blood would grow hot as soon as someone provoked him.
Perhaps that was growth. He had become more reserved, so even seeing so many unbridled people, he didnât feel indignant. If they wanted to be unbridled, then fine. As long as they didnât run into him, he didnât care.
âYou really spout a lot of crap. Do you dare to fight or not? Could it be that your title as the number one expert is a fake?â sneered the mysterious man.
âSenior apprentice-brother Long Chen, teach him a lesson!â
âExactly, theyâre from a completely different era than us. Donât let them look down on us.â
âSenior apprentice-brother Long Chen, these people are all too arrogant.â
Countless shouts rang out from the crowd. This mysterious man had drawn too much fury recently, but no one was able to beat him.
âIt isnât that he doesnât want to fight but that he doesnât dare to. He might be able to claim to be king over your era, but hmph, in our era, he wouldnât even be fit to carry the shoes of the top geniuses. Once he fights, heâll no longer be able to say heâs number one,â sneered the mysterious man.
âProvoking me is useless. Tell me, what power are you from?â asked Long Chen.
âHmph, someone who doesnât even dare to fight isnât qualified to know my origins.â
âAlright, then goodbye. Iâm actually quite busy.â
Long Chen turned and walked away. He had real business to discuss with Zheng Wenlong.
âHmph, I knew that your fame was fake. You really are trash,â sneered the mysterious man.
Seeing Long Chen leave, the others couldnât help feeling disappointed. They had hoped for Long Chen to come out and win some face back for their era.
âYou should count yourself lucky that my mood isnât bad today.â Long Chen didnât look back.
Just at this moment, one of the women that had been beside Long Chen suddenly let out a cry. She was carried over to the mysterious manâs side as if she had been grabbed by a large invisible hand.
âGirl, your looks arenât bad. You can be a bed warmer for me.â
Long Chen came to a sudden stop and slowly looked back. He had a pitiful expression. âWhy bother?â
âWhat? Is it your business if a disciple of an everlasting family wishes to have a bed warmer? If I sent out word, there would be a line of beauties outside my gate wishing to fill this position. This girl is lucky,â said the mysterious man.
After hearing that he came from an everlasting family, the spectatorsâ hearts shook. Many peopleâs expressions changed. No wonder he was so powerful.
The everlasting families were powerful families that had experienced the time of the Sovereigns. Their foundations were unimaginable. Those who had been defeated couldnât help deflating slightly, their anger vanishing.
To be defeated by such an expert wasnât embarrassing. But this disciple in particular was too arrogant.
Long Chen shook his head. âEverlasting or not, it means nothing to me. Tell me, do you really want to fight me?â
He was finally a bit angry. He didnât want to implicate someone like this.
âWhat, do you finally dare to fight? Alright, then I wonât have time to bring back this bed warmer. Miss, apologies, but you wonât have that fortune.â The mysterious man waved his hand, sending the girl tumbling toward Long Chen.
Long Chen caught her, but she was still pale with terror. She hadnât had the slightest ability to resist in the face of that manâs power, being unable to even speak or blink. He was unimaginably powerful.
She cried out, âSenior apprentice-brother Long Chen, donât fight him forâŚâ
âDonât worry about it. Iâll help you out a bit.â Long Chen sent her back to her group and slowly walked toward the man enveloped by divine light.
