Looking at Lu Minghanâs icy expression, Long Chen instantly understood what was going on.
âWhat? Are you in such a hurry? Soft tactics donât work, so youâre trying some hard ones? To trick me by pretending to be the sect master, are you trying to interrogate me?â said Long Chen.
Lu Minghan coldly said, âLong Chen, you are a disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect. It was the Xuantian Dao Sect that raised you. If you donât even know how to repay kindness, how are you any different from an animal?â
Long Chen sneered, âDonât put it so sanctimoniously. All you want is my yuan spirit stones. Well, let me tell you the truth, I donât have any yuan spirit stones.â
âDo you think Iâm so easy to fool?â snorted Lu Minghan.
âWhether you believe it or not, I donât care. Furthermore, whatâs mine is mine. Donât use the name of ethics to extort me. Who do you think you are? If I owe the Xuantian Dao Sect, then the ones I owe are Ling Yunzi, Shui Wuhen, and Ouyang Qiuyu. As for you? You only came here to get some benefits. Are you looking to raise your merit to the sect to get promoted? Not a bad plan,â said Long Chen disdainfully.
âLong Chen, Iâm only going to ask once again. We arenât greedy for your yuan spirit stones; we are doing this entirely for your own good. If you hand over your yuan spirit stones, the sect will help protect them for you. That way, you donât need to worry about others getting greedy for your treasures,â said Lu Minghan.
âThank you for your care, but I think youâre worrying over nothing. I donât have any treasures, so thereâs no need to worry over my safety,â said Long Chen indifferently.
âBrute, youâre looking to die!â raged Lu Minghan.
âYouâre the one looking to die, you old bastard.â Long Chen had long since realized that this fellow wasnât a good person, so he cursed right back.
Right now, he couldnât expose the fact that he had more yuan spirit stones. This wasnât just a problem of yuan spirit stones. The Divine Mortal Molting Elixir and Ten Thousand Spirit Blood were also absolute treasures. He was sure that the Dragonblood Legionâs display, which had relied on these treasures, had been noticed by these wily old foxes.
Long Chen had hundreds of millions of yuan spirit stones in his primal chaos space right now. That was the result of all the Immemorial Pathâs aboriginals sending their yuan spirit stones to him.
But he couldnât hand over a single one. The yuan spirit stones would just be a start. Once he started handing them over, he would be doomed. Through that, they would force him to hand over the Divine Mortal Molting Elixir, Ten Thousand Spirit Blood, and perhaps even the Heavenly Dao Fruits. So even if he died, he couldnât hand them over. One concession would lead to a total collapse.
He had already declared his position with Ouyang Qiuyu: he wouldnât hand them anything. He trusted Ouyang Qiuyu as she would definitely protect his secret.
As for Shui Wuhen, there was no need to say anything about that. No one would be able to get the slightest bit of valuable information out of her about Long Chen. So all he had to do was stubbornly repeat that he had none and refuse to give them anything.
âBrat!â Lu Minghan suddenly sent a palm toward him. Long Chen smashed a fist forward, summoning the Green Dragon Battle Armor. He had to go all-out against a King.
âHmph, donât overestimate yourself,â sneered Lu Minghan.
When Long Chenâs fist smashed onto Lu Minghanâs palm, there should have been a huge explosion. Their power should have blown apart the palace and drawn over all the Xuantian Dao Sectâs attention. Then he would be safe.
But Long Chen was startled to find that it was like his fist had struck cotton. It only caused a muffled sound. His power vanished like it had never existed, and his hand was caught.
A terrifying energy instantly confined him. It was like millions of steel bars had constricted him, making it so he couldnât move an inch.
âIn front of a true King, you are just an ant. You want to resist? Keep dreaming. Since you donât appreciate kindness, Iâll personally go through your memories.â
Lu Minghan placed a finger on Long Chenâs forehead. Spiritual Strength poured into his mind-sea.
Long Chen was startled and enraged. If this bastard were to go through his memories, then the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, primal chaos bead, and Eastern Wasteland Bell would all be exposed. He hastily circulated his Spiritual Strength to defend.
âHmph, your Spiritual Strength is not bad, but itâs still not even close to enough. Break!â Lu Minghan snorted, and vicious Spiritual Strength smashed against Long Chenâs mind-sea.
Blood poured out of Long Chenâs orifices. Lu Minghanâs berserk Spiritual Strength was too strong. A Kingâs Spiritual Strength wasnât something he could resist.
âLu Minghan, what do you think youâre doing?!â
Just as Long Chenâs defenses were about to completely collapse and his memories were about to be exposed, the door to the room was blown apart. Li Changfeng furiously charged in.
âSenior brother, this Long Chen refuses to recognize kindness. Iâm forcing him to tell us his secrets.â Lu Minghan ignored Li Changfengâs arrival, continuing to bring forth more of his soul energy to break Long Chenâs final barrier.
âLu Minghan, if you donât stop, donât blame me for not caring about our relationship!â Li Changfengâs face was ashen. His hand was gripping the sword on his back, and a fierce aura locked onto Lu Minghan.
âSenior brother, youâŠ!â
The sound of a sword coming out of its sheath rang out. Li Changfengâs expression was firm.
An unwilling expression appeared on Lu Minghanâs face, but he was extremely intimidated by Li Changfeng. He released Long Chen.
Pow!
Lu Minghan had just released Long Chen when Long Chenâs hand viciously struck across his face. Lu Minghan hadnât expected Long Chen to dare to strike him, and as a result, half his face caved in, and a bunch of yellow teeth scattered to the ground.
âLu Minghan, fuck your mother!â
Long Chen was completely infuriated. After slapping him, Blooddrinker appeared in his hand. âSplit the Heavens 3!â
Even Li Changfeng hadnât expected Long Chen to suddenly attack. And he was using such a powerful move at that.
Lu Minghan didnât have a powerful physical body. Imbued by the Green Dragon Battle Armor, Long Chenâs slap had almost caused his head to explode.
By the time he reacted, Long Chenâs Saber Qi had reached him. It was too late to form hand seals, and the only thing he could do was to use the simplest defense, circulating his spiritual yuan to form a barrier around him.
This hasty defense was made by a King, but it was still cut through by Long Chenâs attack.
Lu Minghan vomited blood, flying back. He slammed into a pillar in the palace, causing the whole palace to crumble.
Dust flew everywhere, and the Xuantian Dao Sect shook. All of the disciples rushed over in surprise, just barely managing to see the scene of the Xuantian Dao Sectâs palace crumble to the ground.
âHeavens, isnât that the King, Lu Minghan?â
As the palace collapsed, a figure flew out of it, a deep cut on the front of his body. He had almost been cut in two. Everyone was horrified; what person was terrifying enough to heavily injure a King?
âLu Minghan, you rat bastard, die!â
Suddenly, the crumbling palace exploded. Long Chen charged out at Lu Minghan.
âKill Lu Minghan!â
âCut him down!â
The Dragonblood warriors had no idea what was happening, but seeing Long Chen so enraged, they all charged at Lu Minghan.
Ouyang Qiuyu and Shui Wuhen also appeared. But they were lost, because Lu Minghan had just sent them a message that he had something to discuss with them.
They had been patiently waiting for him this entire time. But even after an hour, he hadnât appeared.
When they sensed Long Chenâs aura when he destroyed the palace, they finally realized something was very off, and they rushed over just in time to see this scene.
The Dragonblood warriors were charging at Lu Minghan. Wilde was the first to arrive. Using the Barbarian Blood Bronze Body, he came smashing down with a huge bone club.
âFuck off!â Lu Minghan was infuriated at being injured by Long Chen. That attack had been strange. It contained a special energy within it, or it wouldnât have been able to break his defense.
Seeing Wilde arriving, he let out a single punch. Wilde was blown back, vomiting blood. A Kingâs power was truly terrifying.
But Wilde was also extremely powerful, and Lu Minghan received a backlash. His just-fused injury once more split open, causing blood to splash.
Tang Wan-er, Guo Ran, Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, and Yue Zifengâs attacks all arrived. They didnât care what was happening; as long as Lu Minghan was an enemy of Long Chenâs, they would fight to the death against him.
âAnts! All of you can die!â roared Lu Minghan. His body began to shine.
âYellow Springs Devour Souls!â
Just as Lu Minghan was about to counterattack, a huge spiritual blade slashed down. Lu Minghan felt like countless needles had stabbed his soul.
BOOM!
Gu Yang and the othersâ attacks landed on Lu Minghanâs body. But they were startled to find that their attacks were unable to break the defensive light around his body.
Just at this moment, a blood-colored saber viciously slashed through Lu Minghanâs neck. Blood spurted into the air along with a head.
All the Xuantian Dao Sectâs disciples were like wooden statues. They hadnât even understood what was happening before Long Chen cut off a Kingâs head.
After cutting Lu Minghanâs head, he extended a hand, launching a lightning arrow at it, wanting to completely kill him.
âXuan Heaven and Earth Seal!â
Li Changfeng finally took action. Countless chains appeared throughout heaven and earth. Everyone was bound by them, including Lu Minghanâs headless body.
Lu Minghanâs head flew back to his neck through some unknown means, and he instantly healed.
âLi Changfeng, release me! Iâll kill all these damnable brats!â roared Lu Minghan.
