Chapter 318

Long Chen was too exhausted and his spiritual perception had fallen greatly . His reaction was slow, while that person was clearly an expert . He only noticed him when his attack was about to reach him .

That merciless attack was aimed straight for his heart from behind . This person was clearly trying to kill him in one attack .

Long Chen reacted instinctively, pus.h.i.+ng off from the ground . He sprang forward like he was shot out from a spring, instantly opening up a distance of thirty meters .

He felt a burst of pain from his back . A large hole had been opened up there . That attack had just been the slightest bit off from piercing his heart .

Only now did Long Chen have a chance to look back and see a blue-robed man looking at Long Chen with surprise .

He was obviously surprised by Long Chen’s reflexes . His stealth skills were extremely high, and he was specialized in a.s.sa.s.sinations . But Long Chen had escaped .

“Someone from the twenty-seventh monastery? Who are you?” Long Chen’s killing intent soared . He didn’t even know this b.a.s.t.a.r.d . They had no enmity, and they were also members from the same sect, but he had shamelessly launched a sneak attack on him . His vicious attack had clearly been aiming to kill him .

“The person who will kill you . ”

Seeing that his first attack hadn’t killed him, that man’s sword shook and countless sword images filled the sky . At the same time, his aura completely erupted out . He was surprisingly a powerful Favored .

Long Chen snorted and raised Devil Decapitator . He swung out at a slanted angle that coincided with an opening .

That Favored was surprised by how sharp Long Chen’s attack was . He had just seen that Long Chen was completely exhausted . He had clearly been like an arrow at the end of its flight .

BOOM!

That Favored’s sword was sent flying the instant it collided with Long Chen’s Devil Decapitator .

Long Chen was startled . He really was exhausted, with less than a tenth of his normal physical strength, and his spiritual qi completely exhausted . Otherwise he could kill such a person with a single blow .

That Favored couldn’t help being shocked by how terrifying Long Chen’s strength was .

He was just about to turn to flee when he paused to icily say to Long Chen:

“Little brat, today you’ll definitely die . ”

After that one exchange, Long Chen felt as if heaven and earth were spinning around him . The divine drop of life that Spirit World expert had left for him was only able to heal his injuries . It was unable to replenish his exhausted spiritual qi .

Now his spiritual qi was exhausted, and his physical strength was also overdrafted . He felt as if he might collapse at any moment .

However, Long Chen didn’t display any of his weakness . He was completely spent, but if he let his opponents see that, the consequences would be too horrible to imagine .

“Oh really? How come I don’t believe you?” Long Chen stuck his saber into the ground .

Seeing Long Chen only talked without doing anything, that Favored became even more confident . “Hahaha, Long Chen, there’s no need to force yourself . Your spiritual qi fluctuations are incredibly weak . Do you think I’m an idiot who can’t see that you’re already at the point of death? I’ll have a battle of attrition with you right now . Let me see just how long you can last . Once you can’t continue anymore, I’ll cut your head off . ”

Long Chen took a deep breath . “I don’t have any enmity with you . Why do you want to kill me?”

“You don’t need to worry too much about that . In short, you must die . ” The man shook his head . He then once more retreated a couple steps, staying on guard against Long Chen . Obviously he was afraid of Long Chen giving him one final counterattack before death .

Long Chen was quickly thinking . According to reason, running into this person was just a coincidence . He shouldn’t know what had happened before .

In other words, this person wanting to kill him had nothing to do with that photographic jade .

Then thinking of those three people before that had set him up, Long Chen thought of a certain possibility .

“If you want to kill me, it won’t be as easy as you think . Don’t throw your life away in hopes of obtaining some benefits . That would really be stupid,” sneered Long Chen .

“Hahaha, a man will risk death for riches . Sometimes only high risks will bring high rewards,” replied the Favored .

Following that man’s reply, Long Chen was now sure that those three people’s schemes and this person’s sneak attack were not coincidence, but premeditated .

Even if that woman hadn’t gone to frame him, there would have been many more ploys waiting for him . This plot had been set up before they had entered the secret realm .

Once he thought of that, Long Chen’s mind immediately became clear . Even an idiot would have realized there was someone controlling this behind the scenes .

Amongst the monasteries, the one who hated him the most would have to be Luo Bing . But her rotten temperament was known to all, and she didn’t have the ability to control this many disciples .

That woman and the two core disciples, as well as the Favored he had killed, were all from higher-ranking monasteries .

Then adding in this Favored from the twenty-seventh monastery, and a.s.suming this wasn’t all just a coincidence, the person behind the scenes would have to be someone from the top monasteries .

As for why they hadn’t sent disciples from the lower ranking monasteries against him, it wasn’t that they couldn’t control them, but that they looked down on them .

If all his reasoning was correct, then there was only one existence that could have such influence and had enmity with the 108th monastery .

“Haha, good, there are so many enemies that you do nothing to, instead deciding to scheme against me!”

When he reached that point in his thoughts, Long Chen clenched his teeth and killing intent exploded out of him . If I don’t teach you a lesson this time, it seems you’ll never learn!

“Long Chen, right now you’re on your last legs . Stalling for time has no meaning . I’ll give you a chance to kill yourself . That way you’ll at least be able to have an intact corpse . Otherwise, if you wait to die by my hands, hehe…” The Favored laughed coldly, his threat obvious .
