Chapter 737

Everyone watching was on edge as they knew that Shui Guanzhi’s enmity with Long Chen was deep . Back in the Xuantian Sea, he had lost to him .

Now Long Chen had just reached the 998th stair . If Shui Guanzhi wanted to attack, Long Chen would most likely suffer .

But after this long, everyone had realized Long Chen’s temperament . He was someone who dared to do anything .

If Shui Guanzhi really did attack, Long Chen would definitely explode and counterattack with his full strength . And this time would not be the same as last time . It would definitely be a battle to the death .

The Xuantian Dao Sect’s higher-ups were all worried except for Zhou Tianyi . The person who worried the most was naturally Shui Yuncong .

Of course he hoped for Shui Guanzhi to suppress Long Chen . But if Shui Guanzhi really attacked now, it would no longer be an ordinary compet.i.tion .

Furthermore, it was impossible for the ones outside to interfere with what was happening on the Netherworld Heaven Staircase . Let alone interfering, they couldn’t even say anything to them .

In truth, Long Chen was also a bit uneasy . This Netherworld Heaven Staircase put him at too great of a disadvantage . If Shui Guanzhi attacked now, he wouldn’t be able to defeat him .

But he coldly smiled at Shui Guanzhi . “I’ve already told you, if you want to die, come at me any time! You don’t need to worry so much about the timing or location!”

Shui Guanzhi was silent for a moment as he sized up Long Chen . “You must be too afraid . All I did was stand up and stretch . This Netherworld Heaven Staircase must restrict your magical art . Are you unable to summon your ring here?”

Shui Guanzhi stared closely at Long Chen’s eyes . He had clearly seen through some clues and wanted to find the proof .

“Perhaps! You can try it . ” Long Chen smiled .

Hearing Shui Guanzhi’s words, the others were startled . Was Long Chen really unable to use his magical art on the Netherworld Heaven Staircase?

If that was true, then Long Chen was the weakest of them all here . They could send him flying with a wave of a hand .

But it was impossible to tell anything from Long Chen’s expression . Despite suspecting him, Shui Guanzhi didn’t dare to actually attack him .

If he was right, then it would be acceptable . But if he was wrong, and Long Chen was just stubborn and refused to summon his divine ring, he would be screwed .

First ignoring the question of whether or not he could even defeat Long Chen, just being entangled with him would put himself at a disadvantage when fighting to get the 999th stair . Furthermore, with Long Chen’s temperament, it truly might be a bit dangerous .

“Tch, how gutless . ”

Long Chen smiled, and just like that, he began walking toward the suspecting Shui Guanzhi, startling everyone . Shui Guanzhi immediately tensed .

“You really don’t want to try me? Don’t blame me for not giving you an opportunity!” Long Chen stopped when he was around thirty meters from Shui Guanzhi .

This distance was the absolute limit . If he took another step, the two would definitely begin to fight, unless one of them retreated .

Shui Guanzhi’s eyes were cold . He was eighty percent sure he was right, and Long Chen was just bluffing . But he also didn’t dare to take the risk .

That was because Long Chen was too mysterious . All kinds of strange things might happen around him .

If his deduction was wrong and Long Chen was just baiting him, he would have to endure a tempest of attacks from him .

He wasn’t afraid of a battle, but he didn’t want to waste his energy here . That would just be helping out the other three .

“You’re too useless . ” Long Chen shook his head and walked away .

“You…!”

Shui Guanzhi was just about to say something when he suddenly found out that Long Chen was walking straight toward the 999th stair without even resting .

Everyone was shocked, even the monastery heads . What was he doing?

Was this scoundrel trying to constantly test out their startled expressions? Shui Wuhen was extremely nervous . Long Chen never did things normally . During these trials, he had used up all the shocked expressions these people would get in their lifetimes .

He was clearly already on the verge of collapse, but he still wanted to charge directly to the 999th stair . Was he crazy?

Shui Guanzhi and the others were first startled, but then they smiled coldly . Currently, Long Chen had no divine ring, and furthermore, there were no spiritual yuan fluctuations coming from his body . Going to the 999th stair was purely suicidal .

“Is he really trying to commit suicide?” cried a monastery head .

The vice sect master’s eyes seemed to glow . He thought of something, but then that thought slipped away . It was like something was trying to surface in his mind, but he wasn’t able to grab it .
