Chapter 93 Painful Farewell

The village was now completely surrounded by hundreds of elite, armored guards . Sharp arrows were point at the villagers, Xiao Hua amongst them . Their faces were pale with fright .

There were already three people lying on the ground with arrows stuck in them, their blood dying the ground beneath them .

“Speak, have you seen this person?” One of the middle-aged troops in golden armor coldly shouted, showing off a piece of paper with a handsome youth with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes . Who else could it be but Long Chen?

“We’ve already said, we’ve never seen anyone called Long Chen and we don’t know what you’re talking about . Why did you have to recklessly kill our villagers?” Xiao Hua’s face was deathly pale as she angrily retorted .

They had no idea where this group of men had come from . But they had immediately surrounded the village, and the three hunters which had just gone out were directly shot to death .

This both shocked and infuriated them . But in front of hundreds of pointed arrows, they didn’t dare make any reckless moves . Some of them were grinding their teeth, wis.h.i.+ng to charge forward .

“Hmph, looks like you won’t cry until you see your coffins . Go slaughter those children first . Let me see if they’ll tell the truth . ” That middle-aged man snorted and ordered some of his subordinates forward . They immediately pointed their arrows at the dozen children .

“b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, do you dare?” The village chief angrily roared and threw those children behind him .

“Kill them . ” That middle-aged man’s expression was icy cold and he didn’t even bat his eye at the elder . In his eyes, these villagers were just a bunch of weeds .

“Fine, kill us! We’re not afraid! Brother Long Chen will definitely come kill you as revenge for us!” One of the children suddenly struggled free of one of the adults’ guard and angrily pointed at that man .

“Little kid, what nonsense are you saying?!” The village chief hastily shouted at the child to stop, but it was already too late .

That middle-aged man’s eyes brightened and he coldly sneered, “As expected, Long Chen did come here . Kill them all . We’ll keep searching; he can’t have run far . ”

Receiving that order, those troops that had arrows pointed at the terrified villagers all emotionlessly released their arrows, shooting out a rain of arrows at the villagers .

“f.u.c.k off!”

A harsh shout suddenly shook their eardrums and a figure rushed over like a wild gale, arriving in front of Xiao Hua and the others . With a shake of his sword, a terrifying Sword Qi ferociously fell .

The majority of those arrows were all shaken away by Long Chen . But there were still around a dozen of them that managed to slip through and hit the villagers . Pained cries rang out intermingled with the weeping of the children .

Looking at Long Chen who had suddenly descended from the sky, those elite guards were all stupefied . Even the head middle-aged man was greatly shocked .

“Zhou Weiqing, you d.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.d, all of you can go to h.e.l.l!”

Long Chen’s killing intent overflowed . He recognized that middle-aged man as Zhou Weiqing, also known as Manhuang Hou!

That b.a.s.t.a.r.d actually wanted to kill unarmed villagers, including the children . He was truly a b.a.s.t.a.r.d amongst b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, especially in the eyes of Long Chen who had been saved by these villagers .

“Parting Wind Slice!” Long Chen’s broadsword cut across the air in front of him, and a Sword Qi invisible to the naked eye shot out like a crescent moon, immediately cutting through those stupefied troops .

That ferocious Sword Qi surged over before those troops had even reacted, immediately cutting them into pieces . Blood filled the air .

Hundreds of elite troops had been killed with a single slash of Long Chen’s sword . The current Long Chen truly was just like a death G.o.d . Unending killing intent overflowed from his body .

Only Manhuang Hou managed to escape that calamity . As soon as he had seen an uninjured Long Chen appear, he knew the situation had turned sour .

The reports had stated that Long Chen was already on his last breaths . Even if he managed to survive, he should still be heavily injured to the point where he might die at any time .

But the fourth prince had stated that if he was dead, then he wanted to see his corpse, and if he was alive, then he wanted him captured . Otherwise he wouldn’t be able to set his heart at ease . He had sent warriors accustomed to pursuing and tracking as well as hunting dogs . After half a month’s chase, they had finally found this village .

They were certain Long Chen had either pa.s.sed through here or was currently hiding within the village, recuperating from his wounds . So Manhuang Hou had directly wanted to kill these villagers who were hiding his existence .

And he had truly guessed right . Long Chen truly had shown himself, but unfortunately, the result was not what he had presumed . When a perfectly healthy Long Chen had appeared, Manhuang Hou had been scared witless .

Even back then during the Phoenix Cry Lantern Festival, Long Chen had still managed to kill Huang Chang, his name shaking the empire . Manhuang Hou was only at the early stage of Blood Condensation . How could he possibly be a match for Long Chen?

He had thought he would be able to capture a tiger on its deathbed, but he had miscalculated . Seeing Long Chen strike, he had quickly retreated without even thinking about it . At the same time, he also took out a s.h.i.+eld to protect himself .

By the time Long Chen’s Sword Qi had reached him, he had already fled to the edge of the attack . But even so, the s.h.i.+eld in his hand was still broken and he spat out blood .

But Manhuang Hou truly was an expert . He was someone who had already seen blood before . Resisting the intense pain from his stomach, he used his full strength to flee deep into the forest .

“You want to run?”

A sinister ruthlessness appeared on Long Chen’s face . Kicking up an arrow from the ground, he flung it forward .

The arrow shot through the air like lightning . Manhuang Hou, who was fleeing for his life, didn’t realize that an arrow that could take his life was right behind him .

The arrow pierced right through his armor . The great force behind it had been so great that the golden armor was unable to pose even the slightest bit of resistance .

Manhuang Hou’s entire body was shaken by that force and he was sent tumbling through the air into a huge tree dozens of meters away .

He violently spat out blood . That arrow had violently shaken his inner organs .

“Don’t kill him Little Snow!” Long Chen suddenly noticed a white light dash towards Manhuang Hou and hastily shouted out . He was leaving Manhuang Hou alive because he still had some use for him .
