Chapter 469: 469

Long Chen was filled with ecstasy as he rushed towards that hill .

Luo Bing shot off in hot pursuit . She had sensed the change in Long Chen’s mood . A sinister smile crept onto her face when she saw Long Chen rush towards that hill .

That was not actually a hill, but a round boulder three hundred meters wide . It was simply that it was eroded by the wind all year round, so it looked like a mound of earth .

It had been over a year since Long Chen had seen that hill, but he recognized the marks he had left behind with just a glance . He sent a fist cras.h.i.+ng into the hill .

The rock door exploded, revealing the entrance . Long Chen rushed in without even thinking about it .

“You ran like this to find yourself a burial mound?” Luo Bing entered right behind Long Chen . Seeing this round mound, she smiled mockingly .

However, she was extremely crafty . She stood at the cave entrance and stared at Long Chen . This was where he would die . He couldn’t possibly run out of this cave with her blocking the entrance . She wanted to see just what trick Long Chen was playing .

Entering the cave, Long Chen saw some broken eggsh.e.l.ls to the side . Those were Little Snow’s masterpiece .

At the center of the cave was a thirty-meter pool of lava . The surging lava emitted a terrifying heat . Long Chen stood at the edge of the lava .

“You’re right, this place really is the burial ground I chose for myself . I really want to know, if I jump, what will happen?” Long Chen lightly looked at Luo Bing with an icy smile .

Luo Bing’s expression suddenly changed . If Long Chen jumped into this lava, his corpse would disappear . Then all the treasures and secrets he had on him would also disappear forever .

“I don’t believe that you’ll dare jump in . ” Luo Bing put on a brace face .

“Are you an idiot? I already know that I’ll die, and if I land in your hands, I really won’t have a good death . Why wouldn’t I dare jump?” sneered Long Chen .

“Listen to me Long Chen-”

“Stop!”

Long Chen shouted . “Don’t get any closer . You want to use some secret technique to capture me? Keep dreaming . If you take another step closer, I’ll immediately jump into the lava, and you won’t obtain anything . ”

Long Chen could easily see through Luo Bing’s intentions . At this moment, Luo Bing was less than thirty meters away . That was an extremely dangerous distance .

“Fine, fine! I won’t move . Let’s just discuss this . If you hand over your cultivation technique and Battle Skills, I promise I won’t kill you . ” Luo Bing raised her hand and swore .

However, she was sneering inside . She wouldn’t kill Long Chen, but she could crush all his bones and then seal him inside this cave . Then he would still definitely die, while it still wouldn’t count as breaking her promise .

Staring at Luo Bing, was it possible for Long Chen to not realize this? Such methods were things Long Chen had grown tired of playing with ages ago . He saw through her thoughts in an instant .

However, his eyes seemed to light up, and with a hesitating voice, he asked, “You promise you won’t kill me?”

“I, Luo Bing, swear I will definitely not kill you . If I betray this oath, let my soul be burnt by flames and turn me to dust . ” Luo Bing swore solemnly, but a vicious light shone in the depths of her eyes . That was something that couldn’t possibly escape Long Chen .

Ah, why have you still not come out yet? Big bro Earth Flame, hurry up and come out . I’m just waiting for you to save my life! Long Chen prayed inside .

This was the cave Long Chen had noticed back on his journey to the Xuantian Monastery . Back then, Long Chen had been being chased by the Giant Desert Scorpions . He had noticed light coming from here and rushed over . After killing the Flame Salamander, he had noticed this Earth Flame .

Now after being chased in this vicinity, Long Chen had thought of its existence again, and he had placed his hopes on it .

But right now, the lava was constantly surging, and the Earth Flame refused to reveal itself . That made Long Chen feel slightly panicked .

“Let me think about it a bit . But don’t get any closer! Your character is too rotten for me trust you just like that . Give me some time,” warned Long Chen .

Luo Bing’s expression sunk . Long Chen’s words were no different than a slap in her face . Killing intent surged out of her eyes, but she controlled herself, icily saying, “Fine, I will give you an incense stick’s worth of time to consider it . ”

Long Chen wanted to say an incense stick’s worth of time was too short and ask for a few hours, but that would definitely draw Luo Bing’s suspicions . He decided not to say anything and acted as if he were contemplating . In truth, all his focus was on the lava pool behind him .

“Alright, it’s been an incense stick’s worth of time . Have you considered it?” said Luo Bing icily .

“What nonsense! It’s only been a single breath’s time so far! How was this an incense stick’s worth of time?! Who do you think you’re trying to scare? Tch, do you even have any sincerity? Has your head been turned to c.r.a.p? How about I just throw myself into the lava right now?!” raged Long Chen as he took a jumping posture .

In truth, it really had been an incense stick’s worth of time . But Long Chen refused to acknowledge that, continuing to act furious .

“No! Don’t jump! You’re just too nervous and can’t feel the flow of time . I’ll give you another incense stick’s worth of time . ” Luo Bing hastily stopped him .

“Don’t treat me like someone who doesn’t know how to count . How could an incense stick’s worth of time have pa.s.sed so quickly? You clearly are just forcing me and have no sincerity . ”
