Chapter 72 Aman Shows his Might
A luxurious carriage pulled by a Savage Bull Magical Beast was slowly travelling through the southern pa.s.s’s valley . There were a dozen guards around the carriage .
Suddenly the carriage paused . Inside the carriage, Xia Changfeng frowned and irritably asked, “Why have we stopped?”
The reason Xia Changfeng was returning back to the Grand Xia was due to two reasons . Not only did he want to prepare for his wedding with Phoenix Cry’s third princess, but the white-robed man had also ordered him to prepare for more important matters .
That was why Xia Changfeng had ordered his subordinates to travel all throughout the day and night as quickly as possible . They only used one day and one night’s time to arrive at the southern pa.s.s’s valley .
With another half a day of travel, they would exit the valley and arrive in the Grand Xia .
Travelling on a flying Magical Beast would be much faster, but due to how many people he had, that was not an option . Furthermore, flying Magical Beasts were large targets . If they ended up running into a stronger group of flying Magical Beasts, they would definitely die without the slightest chance of fleeing .
“Prince, there’s people blocking the path,” reported one of the guards outside the carriage .
“Who?” Xia Changfeng was startled .
“People you’re familiar with . ”
Xia Changfeng frowned and exited his carriage . The valley was extremely narrow here . If they wanted to get through this pa.s.s, they had to go through that junction .
But at that narrow opening were two figures standing there calmly . When he saw who they were, Xia Changfeng laughed . But a dark light flashed in his eyes .
“Long Chen, are you waiting here to say goodbye?” Xia Changfeng waved his hand and his guards all spread out, quickly forcing a half-ring around Long Chen and Aman .
Long Chen looked at Xia Changfeng and nodded . “You’re right . Seeing how arduous your travels are, I decided to get here a step earlier and help send you on your way . ”
“Don’t tell you two are here because you think you can a.s.sa.s.sinate me?” Xia Changfeng sneered .
“Well, I don’t think a.s.sa.s.sinate is the right word . We’re slaughtering today . ” His face turned icy cold as he pointed at Xia Changfeng . “I won’t play anymore meaningless word games with you . You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, was the hidden energy within Chu Yao’s body your doing?”
Being reminded of Chu Yao’s experiences, Long Chen’s killing intent soared . Currently Chu Yao could essentially count as his woman, so he was completely unable to accept such a thing .
At the same time, Chu Yao’s experiences reminded him of his own . If what had happened to his body was related to Xia Changfeng, then Xia Changfeng was his greatest chance of finding the true person behidn this .
Xia Changfeng’s expression changed slightly . Obviously Long Chen’s words startled him, but he coldly replied, “It seems you actually know quite a bit . But that’s not a problem . A dead man can know even more without any harm . ”
This reply was extremely vague and wasn’t what Long Chen had been hoping to hear . However he could now confirm for sure that Xia Changfeng knew many things .
Long Chen laughed . Perhaps he would be able to learn many of those secrets from Xia Changfeng today .
“Long Chen, I originally thought that you were a smart guy . But today I find that I was wrong . But I’m actually pretty happy that I was wrong . You actually dared to come here to a.s.sa.s.sinate me with just you two? I don’t know whether to praise you for your boldness or to laugh at your stupidity . Looks like after killing Huang Chang, your appet.i.te has really grown without limit . Do you think you are unmatched under the heavens? w.a.n.g Mang, weren’t you always complaining I didn’t give you a chance to display your feelings? Here, the chance has come . Go cut off that arrogant kid’s head,” disdainfully said Xia Changfeng .
Xia Changfeng’s last sentence was towards one of his guards . That w.a.n.g Mang was extremely tall and strong, and his face was as dark as coal .
Hearing Xia Changfeng’s command, he sneered, revealing a set of sinister white teeth, appearing just like a blood-thirsty animal .
w.a.n.g Mang was also one of his guards that was just like Huang Chang . He was one of Xia Changfeng’s secret weapons .
However, Huang Chang was in the sun while he was in the dark . Anyone who knew Xia Changfeng had known about Huang Chang, but no one had known about this black-faced guard .
“Don’t worry master; I can crush him in less than ten exchanges . ” w.a.n.g Mang laughed and rushed forward .
A long broadsword was pulled out of its sheath in w.a.n.g Mang’s hands, causing Long Chen’s eyes to narrow slightly .
Most broadswords were only slightly wider than regular swords, a width of around four fingers . That was because as the width increased, the thickness also had to increase . In the end, a broadsword was many times heavier than a regular sword .
Most cultivators that could use broadswords were those specialized in power . And as for w.a.n.g Mang, his broadsword had reached a shocking width of seven inches .
Seven inches wide and three inches thick . Its weight was definitely shocking . Before the sword even reached, a terrifying whistling gale had already blown over . The air revolved around it as it chopped down at Long Chen .
“You’re mine!” Long Chen didn’t move . Behind him, Aman shouted and the Splitting Mountain Battle-Ax in his hand cut through the s.p.a.ce . It turned into a whistling golden light that clashed with w.a.n.g Mang’s broadsword .
Sparks shot everywhere and an ear-ringing explosion out . Some of the guards had their eardrums split from the explosive ringing . Blood slowly flowed out of their ears and they were unable to hear anything after .
Both sides were blown back . Aman thudded back three steps before stabilizing .
But w.a.n.g Mang was blown ten meters back despite doing his best to stabilize himself . His legs left behind two deep scars on the ground .
