Chapter 552

Luo Zhongsheng’s face was pale with fright as Long Chen walked over to him . His entire body was quivering, but he didn’t even have the courage to run .

Back then, he had personally seen how ruthless Long Chen was . He had dominated the top geniuses of the Righteous and Corrupt paths; rivers of blood flowed wherever his saber pointed . His courage was already broken .

“I… I…”

Long Chen’s saber was like a bolt of red lightning cutting off Luo Zhongsheng’s head . He apologized towards it, “Sorry, but I don’t like nonsense, so I had no choice but to cut you off . ”

Luo Zhongsheng’s headless corpse slowly fell to the ground . The sound it made was very light, but it made everyone’s hearts tremble .

Whether they were from the Ironblood Mercenary Unit or the Muxue Mercenary Unit, everyone’s expressions were horrified as they looked at Long Chen .

His expression had been calm from the start, but that was even more frightening than a sinister expression . A sinister expression always represented fury, and killing people in fury wasn’t frightening .

But Long Chen’s expression possessed no joy or sadness . Even while killing five Xiantian experts and the junior master of the Giant Eagle Stronghold, his face hadn’t twitched in the slightest .

Even these mercenaries who spent all day fighting b.l.o.o.d.y battles felt their scalps turn numb . Long Chen’s domineeringness caused all of them to turn cold .

The Muxue Mercenary Unit’s members looked at Long Chen with reverence, as well as a trace of unfamiliarity . Was this the same Long Chen that had drunk wine with them and spouted profanities when drunk?

His left hand was still holding Luo Zhongsheng’s head, while his saber was now pointed at Zhao Qingyun . Zhao Qingyun’s expression was ashen, and the entire Ironblood Mercenary Unit was filled with despair .

Long Chen’s attacks had just been too ruthless just now . In just a few breaths’ time, five Xiantian experts and Luo Zhongsheng had been killed, and there hadn’t been the slightest opportunity for them to run . Now, none of them even dared to move as if they were just waiting for their death sentence .

“Each place has its own rules . Originally, I shouldn’t have interfered with the mercenary world’s struggles, but your actions today have already broken those rules,” said Long Chen to Zhao Qingyun .

There were many different social circles in this world . The struggles of those circles were to be kept to themselves, and outside powers were not supposed to interfere .

For example, a literary struggle between scholars or a business struggle between merchants should be decided between themselves . But if people outside that social circle interfered, that was extremely contemptible, and anyone would look down on people who broke this rule .

If the Ironblood Mercenary Unit had only targeted the Muxue Mercenary Unit, then no matter what methods they used, it was still within the scope of their world’s struggle . But by becoming dogs for the Giant Eagle Stronghold, becoming their eyes to keep track of the Muxue Mercenary Unit, they had broken that rule .

Since they broke the rules first, then even though Long Chen was an outsider, he still stood on the side of reason if he attacked them .

Thinking of that, their hearts sank . They had no chance of defeating or even escaping from Long Chen .

“I, Zhao Qingyun, will take responsibility for my actions . This decision was made only by me, and it has nothing to do with my other brothers . If you want to kill someone, you should kill me . But please spare my brothers,” said Zhao Qingyun .

“Leader!”

The Ironblood Mercenary Unit’s members all let out startled cries . They had never imagined that their leader would be willing to sacrifice himself for them .

Even the Muxue Mercenary Unit’s members felt their hearts shake . They really hadn’t expected Zhao Qingyun to have such guts at this critical moment . They felt a bit of unwillingness .

“It’s fine, you don’t need to put on your act . Did you think I would be softhearted and spare you if I thought you were of n.o.ble character? Don’t play such childish games . You can’t trick me .

“I, Long Chen, am also not someone of n.o.ble character . In my eyes, there are only two kinds of people in this world: friends and enemies . Those who want to have me killed will all be killed by me without hesitation .

“Your fake act of sacrifice won’t make me feel any sympathy for you and spare your life . You’re just wasting your time because I originally never had any intention to kill you,” said Long Chen indifferently .

“Really?!” Zhang Qingyun’s expression became one of wild delight . That martyr-like image of his instantly disappeared .

“Wow, he really is disgusting . I almost ended up tricked . ” One of the Muxue Mercenary Unit’s members couldn’t help but curse .

The others also shook their heads inside . They really had felt a trace of sympathy for him just now . They hadn’t expected this fellow to have just been faking it .

Zhao Qingyun also realized he had changed expressions too quickly, which had exposed his inner thoughts . However, he no longer cared as Long Chen had already said he wouldn’t kill him .

“Leave behind your spatial rings and then scram,” said Long Chen lazily .

“What? Our spatial rings contain all our wealth!” Zhao Qingyun’s expression changed .
