Chapter 330 (2/2)

Although they had heard Long Chen was extremely strong, he had clearly just broken through to Tendon Transformation . His aura had yet to stabilize, and he couldn’t even count as having reached the first Heavenstage .

And yet, in their very first exchange, he caused Zhao Mingshan to suffer . Long Chen was clearly not as easy to deal with as he appeared .

“Everyone be careful . That brick in his hand is a powerful treasure!” warned the other Righteous Chosen .

Hearing that, Zhao Mingshan was extremely grateful . That ‘warning’ was just to cover up his embarra.s.sment at having lost out to Long Chen .

Long Chen sneered and was too lazy to expose them . He put away the brick and summoned out Devil Decapitator . Devil Decapitator was now covered in nicks from pa.s.sing through the mechanisms in the pa.s.sageway .

Long Chen was filled with killing intent towards these three Chosen . Previously, he had almost died because of them .

He roared, his voice like heavenly thunder in their ears . Devil Decapitator swung out at the three of them .

BOOM!

The entire tomb rocked . Sand and dirt began to rain from the ceiling .

Long Chen was forced back dozens of meters, but he was filled with excitement .

After advancing to Tendon Transformation, his strength had completely transformed . He was now able to control his physical strength even more precisely .

The three Chosen were shocked . Even the three of them working together had been unable to injure Long Chen . Instead, they were knocked back a couple steps because of his power .

In other words, Long Chen should be on the same level as them when they all used their full strength, despite the fact that they had a huge advantage due to their cultivation bases which were all in the late Tendon Transformation realm .

“We can’t leave Long Chen alive!” The Corrupt Chosen now fully understood why Long Chen had been ranked number two on their must-kill list, second only to Han Tianyu .

His talent was too terrifying . Once he matured, then it would definitely be Han Tianyu who was ranked second to him .

“You two, as long as we are able to kill Long Chen, then the Corrupt path will not take a single piece of this tomb’s treasure,” offered the Corrupt Chosen .

Hearing that, the two Righteous Chosen were shocked . They instantly understood he was offering a reward for Long Chen’s head . However, inside, they cursed the Corrupt path for being idiots and not knowing how to be subtle .

“How could us members of the Righteous path work together with someone despicable from the Corrupt path? The reason we want to kill Long Chen is to remove a scourge from our Righteous path, not because we’re working with you . Stop spouting nonsense and kill him,” said Zhao Mingshan .

He was saying this to emphasise that he had no relation with this Corrupt Chosen . Working with Corrupt disciples was an intolerable crime for Righteous disciples .

That Corrupt Chosen sneered in ridicule . The Righteous disciples were forever a bunch of self-righteous hypocrites .

“You guys go capture that little brat . Remember, I want him caught alive- eh? Where’d he go?” The Corrupt Chosen suddenly realized Guo Ran had somehow disappeared now .

“Reporting to senior apprentice-brother, he… fled,” replied a Corrupt disciple with an unnatural expression .

“Fled? How did he get away so fast?” The Corrupt Chosen couldn’t believe it .

“He… that b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s too crafty . ” All of them were looking at each other . One of the Corrupt disciples finally summoned the courage to explain .

Guo Ran had known that he wasn’t able to help Long Chen here with his little strength . Instead, he would hold him back .

So the instant Long Chen struck Zhao Mingshan with a brick, he took advantage of everyone’s attention being focused on Long Chen to stealthily slip away into the pa.s.sageway .

However, in the end, he was still noticed by a few Righteous disciples . They had immediately raised their weapons and charged at him .

At that time, Guo Ran had suddenly taken out a strange cylinder, and a rain of needles had shot out over a huge area . More than a dozen people had been hit .

All those needles had poison on them, and those who were hit all consumed ant.i.toxin pills .

However, they had then had to stop and had to circulate their spiritual qi to suppress the poison and force it out . That was because they realized their ant.i.toxin pills were unable to completely suppress the poison .

Taking advantage of everyone’s panic, Guo Ran had already succeeded in getting up the pa.s.sageway . He had taken out some ball and thrown it down the pa.s.sageway, where it had exploded into a cloud of smoke so thick that they couldn’t even see their own hands .

Those disciples who had started chasing him had all retreated, afraid the smoke also had poison or that Guo Ran would shoot more poison needles from within .

By the time the smoke dissipated, Guo Ran had long since disappeared . None of them had really cared about Guo Ran getting away, as they just considered him a random weakling .

But now that this Chosen asked about him, they immediately felt apprehensive .

All the Chosen’s expressions were ugly now . They didn’t care about Guo Ran’s life, but it was very likely Guo Ran was holding a portion of the treasures from here . In fact, he could be holding the majority of them .

However, he had already run, and it wasn’t likely for them to be able to catch up . The three of them now focused completely on Long Chen .

Long Chen lazily rested Devil Decapitator on his shoulder, indifferently looking back at the three of them .

“Want to die? Then come!”
