Man in White

It was as if a fire dragon was coiled around the broadsword; its appearance was almost identical to the flame weapons condensed by Great Master Yun Qi, and it radiated an equally terrifying heat.

After Long Chen reached the Blood Condensation Stage, his meridians widened once again, and the beast fire nurtured within his meridians rose in tandem, becoming increasingly powerful.

Although he could not condense flame weapons like Great Master Yun Qi, he was still able to attach Dan Flame to his weapon.

This was a technique from Long Chen's memories. In his impression, this move seemed to greatly enhance attack power, and this was his first time executing it.

"Boom!"

Long Chen's flame sword slammed into Xia Youyu's long spear like a fire dragon, producing a loud explosion. Immediately after, the terrifying flames engulfed them both.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out, and a figure flew out rapidly from the circle of fire. The person had become a human torch, desperately slapping at the flames on his body.

After the strike, Long Chen was forced back repeatedly by the counter-force of Xia Youyu's defense, his blood surging. Xia Youyu was indeed formidable.

However, he was also startled by his own strike. He had originally thought that the Dan Flame enhancement in his memory would simply amplify his own strength.

He hadn't expected this move to be such a destructive trick. When the Dan Flame he had condensed on the broadsword touched the enemy's weapon, it would automatically concentrate and release.

Contrary to Long Chen's expectations, it wasn't the Dan Flame amplifying the weapon, but the Spiritual Qi within the weapon erupting and amplifying the Dan Flame.

In the collision just now, the Dan Flame on Long Chen's broadsword was like ignited gunpowder, exploding in an instant and swallowing Xia Youyu.

This was simply a scoundrel's way of attacking. As long as the opponent blocked, the Dan Flame would erupt. It was a move designed to play someone to death.

Long Chen looked at the human-torch-like Xia Youyu in shock. He was desperately slapping at the flames on his body. That was Dan Flame, not ordinary fire; even if he used Spiritual Qi to resist, it continued to burn.

"Pa!"

Unexpectedly, Xia Youyu suddenly leaped into mid-air, head down and feet up, drilling diagonally into the ground and plunging into the soil.

Long Chen was slightly stunned, then realized this was the only way to extinguish the flames on his body. He wanted to travel through the underground, using the earth to extinguish the flames.

Although the Dan Flame was terrifying, Xia Youyu was a Late Stage Tendon Transformation expert, so the flames could only cause him some minor injuries and were not fatal.

However, do not forget, he could resist it, but his clothes could not. Although his clothes were made of the most Advanced Materials with a certain defensive capability, they could not last long in front of the Dan Flame.

Once his clothes were burned away, Xia Youyu would have to meet people in his most primitive leather armor. For a generation of monarchs, a dignified Tendon Transformation expert to be bare-assed in front of everyone would be more painful than killing him.

Seeing Xia Youyu drill into the ground, Long Chen was stunned for a moment, then, without thinking, held his sword with both hands and slashed heavily downward.

"Boom!"

The terrifying power slashed a long, deep trench into the earth, with countless cracks spreading dozens of yards away.

"Peng!"

Soil flew everywhere, and a figure flew out from the dirt in a sorry state. It was Xia Youyu. The moment he emerged, he spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

This time, Xia Youyu had made a fatal mistake. Drilling into the ground made him unable to dodge Long Chen's attack, and the compression of the earth caused him severe internal injuries.

"Pu!"

Just as Xia Youyu emerged from the ground, an arrow pierced through his chest like a lightning bolt, bringing out a spray of blood.

Long Chen was shocked and hurriedly looked back. He saw Long Tianxiao holding a long bow in the distance, the bowstring still vibrating. Clearly, that arrow had been fired by him.

Not far from him, the Martial Marquis and another Tendon Transformation expert had already fallen to the ground, the surroundings in a mess.

"A battle is a life-and-death struggle. You cannot let go of any opportunity. Killing the opponent with the minimum cost is the royal road."

Long Tianxiao said slowly. At this moment, he was panting slightly, and his face was a little pale. The battlefield changed in an instant, and he was worried about Long Chen.

By erupting with full force, he had severely injured the two, but he himself had also endured a great counter-force, and his Spiritual Qi was severely depleted.

However, when he saw Long Chen slash the ground with his sword, he had anticipated the result and had long since kept his divine bow in hand, waiting for the opportunity.

In terms of combat experience, the gap between Long Chen and the battle-hardened Long Tianxiao was not just a little bit.

Xia Youyu looked at the bloody hole in his chest with difficulty. Long Tianxiao's arrow had shattered his heart, and the violent power had cut off his lifeline.

"How could it… be like this…"

"Putong!"

Xia Youyu fell to the ground, his breath gone. His eyes, which had lost their focus, were full of confusion and unwillingness. A generation of monarchs had fallen.

"Weng!"

As soon as Xia Youyu fell, the soldiers of the Great Xia Empire exploded into chaos. The situation could no longer be controlled; hundreds of thousands of troops fled for their lives.

Today, their hearts were full of fear. This was not their battlefield at all. Before, when the Fengming army had attacked Lady Long with reddened eyes, they had all seen it.

The tide-like army was unable to break through the defensive line, instead leaving behind a mountain of corpses, and blood dyed the entire earth red.

They had not never seen blood, but such a bloody scene, like slaughtering dogs, had triggered the most primitive fear in their hearts.

Now, the Great Xia Tendon Transformation experts were either dead or injured, and the monarch of a country had even been beheaded under the city walls. How could they still want to continue to die? Ignoring the scolding of their commanders, they fled for their lives.

The elites of the Great Xia Empire retreated like stray dogs, and the soldiers of the Fengming Empire were also stunned.

Now that the war situation had been reversed, the father and son of the Long family had astonishing combat power, killing several Tendon Transformation experts in a row, and no one could stop them.

Those soldiers who had just been daydreaming about killing the members of the Long family and making a fortune were completely dumbfounded.

They also wanted to run, but they couldn't run. Even if they ran, their families couldn't run. For a time, their hearts were filled with regret, and they retreated one after another, moving far away from the central area. Now they could only watch.

However, before seeing the final result, they would never easily take action again. This not only concerned their own lives, but might also implicate their families.

Long Chen smiled slightly at Long Tianxiao, feeling that no matter how powerful he became, in front of Long Tianxiao, he was still that snot-nosed kid.

He glanced at the situation on the battlefield. Except for Great Master Yun Qi's side, there was no more fighting on the entire battlefield. Chu Yao and the others were protecting Lady Long, and everything was very safe.

"Hu!"

He flicked the broadsword in his hand and slowly walked towards the Fourth Prince, who was full of horror.

"Chu Xia, you are good at calculating, but have you calculated this ending?" Long Chen said coldly.

The Fourth Prince looked at Long Chen with a complex expression, his voice hoarse: "Indeed, I didn't calculate it. Perhaps this is what they mean by 'man proposes, Heaven disposes'."

At this moment, he recalled the sentence left by Great Master Yun Qi earlier. It really was 'man proposes, Heaven disposes'. The originally flawless plan had turned out like this. Who could have predicted it?

Originally, this trap was aimed at Long Tianxiao, but Long Chen, this piece of the chess game, had emerged unexpectedly and reversed the entire game. This time, he had lost completely.

"Now that things have come to this, I won't make things difficult for you. Tell me, who stole my Spiritual Root, dug out my Spiritual Bone, and took my Spiritual Blood? I can give you a quick end." Long Chen stared tightly into the Fourth Prince's eyes.

Even with Long Chen's composure, he couldn't help but breathe heavily. This matter had finally reached the point of coming to light, and even he couldn't remain calm.

He needed to know who was so vicious as to force him from a Genius into a waste, and what was this for?

In the distance, Long Tianxiao's expression changed. He stared blankly at Long Chen, a complex look appearing in his eyes, and he sighed.

The Fourth Prince was stunned when he heard Long Chen's questioning: "What are you talking about?"

Long Chen's heart shook. When he asked that question just now, his Soul Power was tightly locking onto the Fourth Prince's mind.

With Long Chen's powerful Soul Power, the Fourth Prince absolutely could not lie. This meant that the Fourth Prince really didn't know.

What was going on? Could it be that he was different from Chu Yao and Chu Feng, and the actions taken on him were not done by the Ying Marquis?

For a moment, Long Chen couldn't help but feel lost. If it wasn't done by the Ying Marquis, then who did it?

Taking a deep breath, although his heart was filled with deep disappointment, he knew that the Fourth Prince didn't have the ability to deceive him.

"Since that's the case, then there is nothing left for you. Is there anything else you want to say?" Long Chen looked at the Fourth Prince.

Clearly, Long Chen was ready to kill the Fourth Prince. Although he hadn't figured out the whole story, he wouldn't let go of anyone who targeted the members of the Long family like this, no matter who they were or what their reasons were.

The Fourth Prince sighed, looked at Long Chen with a complex expression, and said: "I didn't expect that after I had carefully planned for so many years, it would end in failure."

"Although I lost somewhat confusedly, it makes one unable to feel unconvinced. Long Chen, you are the first person I admire."

"To be killed by someone you admire, I think you can die in peace," Long Chen nodded and said.

"Hahaha, kill me? Hahaha." The Fourth Prince looked up and laughed, his eyes full of disdain.

"You think you are the winner now? You are wrong. Even if I die, you will die before me."

Long Chen stopped talking nonsense, raised his long sword, and rushed towards the Fourth Prince. Suddenly, a dozen Blood Condensation Stage experts in front threw themselves in front of Long Chen.

Those people were all dead soldiers trained by the Fourth Prince. Even when facing the invincible Long Chen, they fearlessly drew their weapons and attacked Long Chen.

Long Chen slashed out with his sword, and the terrifying Sword Qi swept across. The dozen people were immediately sent flying, spinning. In front of Long Chen, they had no power to block.

After slashing away the obstacles, he moved his feet, rushed directly towards the Fourth Prince, who still had a cold expression, and slashed out with his sword.

"Pa!"

An extra person appeared in front of the Fourth Prince, one hand gently grabbing the tip of the broadsword. Long Chen's sword, which carried the power of ten thousand jin, was easily blocked.
