Looking down on the crowd

"Long Chen!" Looking at that figure, everyone's hearts shook violently; Long Chen had actually arrived at this critical moment.

Chu Yao had originally closed her eyes, waiting for death, but suddenly seeing that figure she thought of day and night, she couldn't help but be both shocked and delighted. Tears in her beautiful eyes could no longer be suppressed and fell in streams.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Long Chen grabbed Chu Yao in a hug, shook her slightly, and gently patted her jade-like back. "Rest assured, I am here."

"Awoo!"

Suddenly, a roar came, and the soldiers who had been tightly surrounding the Long family members suddenly let out a cry of terror.

Before anyone knew it, a snow-white giant wolf appeared in front of them. It opened its massive jaws and spat out a wind blade.

That wind blade was like a rapidly spinning crescent moon. As soon as it left Little Snow's mouth, it immediately grew larger and slashed mercilessly towards the front.

"Pu, pu, pu, pu…"

The terrifying wind blade was like a peerless divine weapon cutting through grass. Dozens of zhang of soldiers in a line were all slashed into minced meat, with the scent of blood soaring into the sky.

"Little Snow, well done! Kill to your heart's content for me!"

Long Chen shouted. Towards these soldiers besieging his family, he was filled with killing intent. Regardless of whether they were acting against their will, he absolutely could not forgive those who hurt his loved ones.

If he had arrived a step later, Chu Yao and his mother would have undoubtedly died. That was what he feared the most, so he would no longer show mercy.

"Roar!"

Little Snow let out a roar, and another wind blade flew out. A clearing was immediately blasted out in front of it. Those soldiers had never seen such a terrifying Demonic Beast, and for a moment, they were so scared that they were Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, retreating one after another.

Little Snow's two strikes immediately relieved the pressure on everyone. The two experts brought by Long Tianxiao felt their pressure greatly reduced and, along with Shi Feng and the others, re-established the defensive circle.

"Mother, your son is unfilial, letting you suffer." Long Chen looked at his haggard mother and said with shame.

"Silly child, what suffering has Mother endured? It is you who have suffered." Although she didn't know how Long Chen had spent this period of time, she didn't need to guess that life must have been difficult. Madam Long looked at the dust-covered Long Chen and said with a heart full of pain.

Long Chen was just about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. He saw A'Man being supported by the others and hurriedly went to A'Man's side.

At this moment, A'Man's face was like gold paper, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his aura was extremely weak. His flame of life could be extinguished at any moment. After all, no matter how powerful a person was, they could not withstand so many Bone-Eroding Nails.

A'Man, who was already on the verge of death, suddenly heard Long Chen's voice. He slowly opened his eyes and said with a sense of relief: "Brother Long, I'm sorry. A'Man is too stupid. A'Man is useless and didn't complete your task, causing Mother to suffer such great pain…"

"Don't talk nonsense. You did very well. Leave the rest to me." Long Chen looked at the dying A'Man, who was pierced all over with Bone-Eroding Nails, and interrupted him.

At the same time, the killing intent in Long Chen's heart was reaching his limit of endurance. As an alchemist, he knew the pain of the Bone-Eroding Nails better than anyone. A living, strong man had been tortured to this state; Long Chen's rage was almost setting himself on fire.

"Brother Long, I might not make it," A'Man said with some shame.

"Nonsense! With me here, you absolutely cannot die. You still have to fight side by side with me in the future."

After finishing, Long Chen had an extra bead in his hand. It was something given to him by that expert from the Spirit Realm before leaving.

It wasn't a real bead, but a mass of water; it was just so dense that it resembled a bead.

It contained extremely rich life energy. Long Chen tapped his finger on the bead, and a crystal-clear, jade-like droplet emerged and drifted into A'Man's mouth.

As soon as that droplet entered A'Man's body, the originally dying A'Man actually began to slowly regain his spirit.

"Hold on. I'll help you remove the nails." Seeing that the droplet was effective, Long Chen spread his large hand, and his Soul energy operated at full power.

"Pu!"

Dozens of Bone-Eroding Nails on A'Man's body were all removed by Long Chen using his Soul energy. A'Man let out a groan of pain and fainted.

Long Chen glanced at A'Man and discovered that his Physical Body had entered a state of suspended animation. That was a form of self-protection. Rich vitality was slowly spreading within his body, so there would be no danger; however, he would not be able to fight for a short time.

He told Bao'er and the others to take good care of A'Man. He looked around; with Little Snow's participation, although those soldiers continued to rush forward one after another, they could never break through their defensive circle.

Long Chen's arrival made everyone's spirits soar. Shi Feng and the others felt full of energy and fought more bravely as they battled.

Only then did Long Chen have the opportunity to carefully observe the battlefield. Several miles away, flames were soaring into the sky, and explosions were constant. That was exactly where Great Master Yun Qi was fiercely battling Wei Cang and Wang Luyang.

In another place, a burly man was waving a long blade, his Qi moving like a long river, fighting against three Tendon Transformation realm experts all by himself.

Seeing that figure, Long Chen's heart warmed. That was his father. Many years had passed, but the impression left from his childhood was still so clear.

A smile appeared on the corner of Long Chen's mouth. He stretched out his hand to collect the pile of Bone-Eroding Nails on the ground into his ring, shouldered his broadsword, and stepped outward.

He walked to the side of Shi Feng, who was fiercely battling the enemy, and slashed with his sword. A dozen or so soldiers in front were sent flying backward instantly.

"Good brother." Long Chen patted Shi Feng's shoulder. Anyone who could stand on the Long family's side at this time was definitely his life-and-death brother.

"I leave this place to you all. I'm going over there to settle an old debt with Marquis Ying." Without waiting for Shi Feng to speak, Long Chen just carried his long sword and walked forward.

Long Chen had just arrived and blocked Marquis Ying's flying spear with one strike, shocking the entire scene. Now, seeing him walking slowly, those soldiers couldn't help but tremble in their hearts and slowly retreated a few steps.

"What are you afraid of? He is just one person! Everyone, attack together! As long as we kill Long Chen, we can be wealthy and honored for generations!"

Someone shouted loudly, instantly stirring up everyone's enthusiasm. No matter how strong Long Chen was, he couldn't stop their army of hundreds of thousands. Even if they just tired him out, they could kill him.

The soldiers let out a roar and raised their weapons, surging towards Long Chen like a tide. However, Long Chen seemed as if he didn't see them, walking towards Marquis Ying in the distance.

"Watch out!" Shi Feng was startled. Seeing that Long Chen actually ignored those soldiers' weapons, he couldn't help but shout a warning.

Long Chen seemed not to have heard, still walking forward at his own unique pace, and was instantly submerged by the army.

"Alchemical Flame Wave!"

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a burst of flames soared into the sky, instantly covering a radius of a hundred zhang. Rolling waves of fire instantly engulfed the surrounding soldiers.

"Ah…"

Screams rose one after another. The terrifying flames turned them into human torches. Those closest to Long Chen didn't even have the qualification to scream and were directly burned to ash.

The soldiers further away were the only ones who enjoyed the treatment of being able to sing to their heart's content, but their singing time was very short. In less than a breath's time, there was no sound left.

The soldiers were scared out of their wits and retreated rapidly. They finally remembered that Long Chen was also an alchemist with terrifying flame power.

Flames surged around Long Chen. People couldn't see his face clearly, but they could see a figure shouldering a giant sword, walking slowly forward.

From beginning to end, Long Chen never stopped his steps. Those who blocked Long Chen were like dust on his path.

Long Chen walked slowly, flames spreading, the scorching high temperature roasting the earth, and even more so, roasting everyone's hearts.

Like a Fire God walking between Heaven and Earth, filled with the will to look down upon the world and despise the masses. Looking at Long Chen walking slowly, no one dared to block him. They retreated one after another, clearing a long path for Long Chen.

Chu Yao looked at that back, which was like a Heavenly God descending to the world, her heart filled with tenderness. He was always so reliable, never disappointing anyone.

Shi Feng, Fatty Yu, and the others looked at Long Chen's back, their blood unable to help but surge. Walking among ten thousand troops, viewing the enemy as nothing, with no one daring to block him—what kind of spirit was this?

Influenced by Long Chen, the soldiers who had originally been blinded by desire and were charging forward couldn't help but slow down.

This caused the pressure on Shi Feng and the others to suddenly decrease significantly. What they needed to do was not attack, but defend.

Otherwise, relying on the combat power of Chu Yao and those two Tendon Transformation realm experts, it would actually be easy for them to kill their way out.

What they needed to protect was Madam Long and the others. If a single soldier broke through their blockade, it would lead to a great disaster. Therefore, despite having great skills, they couldn't unleash them.

However, fortunately, there was now the addition of Little Snow. A second-rank Demonic Beast was even more intimidating than a Tendon Transformation realm expert.

Although Little Snow's wind blade needed to accumulate power for a period of time before it could be spat out, relying on its powerful body, those spears couldn't hurt its skin at all.

Long Chen just walked out of the encirclement and headed straight for his father's side. As for those soldiers, Long Chen couldn't be bothered to kill them.

There were people guarding his mother's side; those ordinary soldiers couldn't even think about getting close. Now he had more important things to do; his opponent was ahead.

From the moment Long Chen appeared, the Fourth Prince began to feel uneasy. At this moment, seeing the strength and confidence displayed by Long Chen made him feel even more terrified.

He was like a screenwriter; all the previous plot lines had followed his script. But now, more and more accidents were appearing, causing the story to deviate from its course.

If it weren't for worrying about that person, he would have even had the urge to leave. The Fourth Prince suddenly looked at Xia Youyu: "My army has already moved out; it's time for your side to move as well, right?"

A mocking expression appeared on Xia Youyu's face, and he glanced at the Fourth Prince indifferently: "Are you ordering me? Or begging me?"

The Fourth Prince was speechless for a moment, unable to help but greet all the female members of Xia Youyu's family in his heart. He knew this bastard was extremely sinister.

On his side, he had only sent out one Tendon Transformation realm expert to put up a front, deliberately watching Fengming side and the Long family fight to the death.

This was to deliberately consume Fengming's combat power. Even if he obtained Fengming afterwards, Fengming would already have suffered severe damage to its Origin Qi, and would probably have to live by relying on the Great Xia's breath.

"We are cooperating; you had better understand that." The Fourth Prince gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

"I am not cooperating with you. My partner hasn't spoken, so I don't need to move." A mocking sneer appeared on the corner of Xia Youyu's mouth as he said this.

The Fourth Prince's face suddenly became ugly. He turned his head to look behind him. In the crowd, a man in white was sitting on a chair, silently sipping tea, without saying a word.

Just as the Fourth Prince's heart was filled with anxiety, Long Chen had already walked slowly to Long Tianxiao's battle circle. Looking at that familiar figure, Long Chen smiled slightly: "Can you spare one for me?"
