Chapter 68 News of His Father

There was someone spying on him; that was his first reaction . However, even after spreading out his divine sense throughout the entire Long household, he was unable to find anyone suspicious .

But that feeling had definitely not been a mistake . With his perceptive spirit he had definitely sensed that extremely indistinct killing intent .

Long Chen was fully confident in his intuition . If there was no one suspicious in the Long household, then that meant the enemy was watching from further away .

Seeing that the sky was already darkening, Long Chen muttered to himself and placed the puppy-like Scarlet Flame Snow Wolf back into its trunk .

That trunk was something Lu Fang-er had brought over . Inside was a nouris.h.i.+ng fluid that was enough for the cub to consume so that it wouldn’t die .

Setting up a proper place for the little cub, he then changed and left his estate .

As expected, his intuition had been correct . As soon as he went past the gates, he sensed that he was being watched by people . A cold smile appeared on his face as he continued walking .

He knew those people were preparing to kill him . If he had guessed correctly, they should have been waiting for nightfall to sneak into the Long estate and a.s.sa.s.sinate him .

He preferred not to fight in his home, so he left . And as he had expected, after he walked a dozen miles away and entered a remote region with no one else present, a sharp whistling arrow was shot straight for his back .

By the time he reacted and went on guard, it was already too late . He was shot through, groaning as he tumbled to the ground .

Over ten figures surrounded Long Chen . Those people were all wearing veiled masks . Raising their swords, they completely cut off any retreat paths .

“Hmph, what Phoenix Cry number one junior generation; he’s just an idiot . He was handled so easily,” coldly sneered one of the masked men .

As soon as he said, an arrow firmly shot him right through the stomach . His eyes widened and he didn’t even dare look down at his stomach as he felt his life quickly fading .

He tumbled to the ground . Even as he died, he had no idea just who it was that had killed him .

“Careful!”

The others all immediately retreated, looking in shock at Long Chen . They noticed that the arrow on his back had disappeared .

More importantly, Long Chen seemed absolutely fine! He got up from the ground and indifferently patted the dust off his clothes .

Long Chen had long since been on guard, so how could it possibly have been so easy to ambush him? The very instant that arrow had been about to hit him, it had already been caught by him in midair .

But he had faked being hit and tumbled to the ground powerlessly . Everything had been an act he had put on extremely convincingly . The reason he did this was to find out what this group had come for .

The arrowhead didn’t have any poison on it and the tw.a.n.g of the bowstring had been too loud . a.s.sa.s.sins definitely wouldn’t randomly walk up to enemy who wasn’t confirmed to be dead .

“Together!”

Following one of their shouts, the masked men suddenly released their auras . Blood Qi soared to the sky; every single one of them was a Blood Condensation expert .

Metal rang out as a sword appeared in Long Chen’s hand . That was the weapon of the one he had killed . He used it now to block one of their attacks .

The person whose attack he blocked felt his hand turn numb . The power behind Long Chen’s sword blow was shockingly great . The sword in his hand was blown away and he was knocked onto his back .

A cold light flashed over that person’s body and he was split into two . A rain of blood descended for a moment .

Now that Long Chen had condensed eleven cyclones that had reached a terrifying size, even a random blow from him was practically unstoppable .

After easily killing a Blood Condensation expert with a wave of his sword, the pungent smell of blood filled the air . The cyclones in his body almost seemed to have been provoked, and without any urging from Long Chen they started to circulate faster and faster .

In just the blink of an eye, two of their group had died . Both shock and rage filled with . They bellowed angrily and charged all at the same time, each of them stabbing towards one of Long Chen’s vital points .

Long Chen coldly snorted . Spiritual qi surged rapidly into his arms .

Using just that one sword, Long Chen fended off the attacks of over ten people . With a crisp bang, qi waves surged out with shockingly terrifying fluctuations .

With the combined force of over ten people, they forced Long Chen back several steps . He wasn’t injured at all, however his sword was unable to take such terrifying strength and shattered, leaving only the hilt .

They were all greatly shocked that Long Chen was able to fend off their combined attack alone . Three of them were at the mid Blood Condensation realm!

“Good, again!”

One of them ordered . Although his voice was suppressed to be quiet, there was something indescribably strange about that voice .

They didn’t need this reminder . They all knew that this was the best moment . They all charged at the unarmed Long Chen .

Looking at those masked black-robed attackers, a ridiculing smile appeared on his face . He lightly rubbed his ring .
