Chapter 790: 790

Cold light flashed and blood splashed . That Corrupt expert that had been taking off his pants was cut in two, and then with a turn of Long Chen’s wrist, the upper half of his body was blown into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist .

“Long, Long, Long? This is your daddy Long, Long Chen . What’s the point of just repeating Long?” asked Long Chen impatiently .

As soon as Long Chen had arrived, he had used his killing intent to lock down the five of them . That was why they were quivering, not daring to move . As long as they moved, it would immediately bring a killing blow from Long Chen .

Toward Corrupt experts, Long Chen’s principles were simple: if he saw one, he would kill one; if he saw two, he would kill two . He wouldn’t feel any guilt or burden .

He had already realized the essence of the Corrupt path . They believed in the Corrupt G.o.d and that the weak were accessories to the strong . The strong could do anything they wanted, and they used the weak as their cultivation tools .

The majority of their cultivation techniques were related to slaughter . Due to what they were taught from a young age, their humanity had already been eradicated . They were tools for slaughter now . Killing them wouldn’t bring him any guilt .

“Everyone’s very busy . Do you want me to do it, or will you kill yourselves?” Long Chen lazily rested his saber on his shoulder .

That saber was a high grade Enchanted item . It was something he had found from the rank three Celestial’s spatial ring . It was similar in size to Blooddrinker . Although it was a bit lighter, Long Chen was most suited toward this kind of weapon .

The four Celestials were pale . Long Chen was the Corrupt path’s number one person to kill . It seemed there was no one in the Corrupt path that didn’t know him .

The higher-ups had warned them all that rank two Celestials and below were to run as soon as they saw Long Chen, because they had no chance at all .

Only rank three Celestials would have the ability to fight him . As for winning, perhaps only Xue You had that ability . So the task of killing Long Chen had been given to Xue You . The higher-ups didn’t have favorable opinions of the other rank three Celestials’ chances against Long Chen .

It could be seen just how important the Corrupt path viewed Long Chen . His priority level had reached an unprecedented level . He was acclaimed as the genius who posed the greatest threat to them in the current age .

“Don’t act so sad . The number of experts you have killed has reached far beyond the thousands . As for when you started cultivating, back then, you already slaughtered countless innocent commoners . Why are you so unwilling now that it’s your turn?” asked Long Chen disdainfully .

From the very start of their cultivation, the Corrupt path relied on disciples killing each other to bring out the elites . It was very simple: the disciples that lived were elites .

Then those elite disciples, under the guise of a trial, would initiate battles against the Righteous path . They would launch attacks on commoners, using their blood and souls to raise their own cultivation bases, weapons, and techniques . It tempered their instinct to treat other people’s lives as stalks of gra.s.s and also to make them unafraid of death .

But there wasn't really anyone unafraid of death . The brave front they put on was for others to see . When death came for them, they would be no different from those commoners .

Although they had slaughtered countless people, that was other people’s lives . Seeing others struggle, they enjoyed their despair . But when death came for them, they were the same . They would be panicked, terrified, and unwilling .

So with Long Chen’s powerful killing intent, they didn’t feel the slightest hope of being able to flee . But despite knowing they would die, they still felt such a longing for life . Even living an extra breath felt like such a wondrous thing .

“Since you want to live so badly, why were you so apathetic toward killing others?” Long Chen’s expression was icy . He slowly raised his saber, and a murderous aura soared into the sky . His killing intent actually began to condense into a solid form .

The distant man and woman were shocked . Although Long Chen’s killing intent wasn’t targeting them, they felt themselves to be ants in front of a death G.o.d .

“Do you know? Those people you killed had fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and also their lovers . To protect their family, despite knowing they would die, they still charged forward toward your butcher knives . Did you think about this day back then?”

For some unknown reason, seeing that these four were still unwilling to lose their lives despite knowing they had to die, Long Chen’s fury soared .

He thought of his first Righteous and Corrupt battle . Many of those who had followed him to charge into the Corrupt path’s army hadn’t survived .

He thought of how the Corrupt path had ma.s.sacred everyone in the cities they had pa.s.sed . Mothers holding children, husbands holding wives, sons and daughters standing in front of their aged parents—scene after scene appeared in Long Chen’s heart .

Since they were so apathetic toward other people’s lives, they should be apathetic toward their own lives as well . He was infuriated to see them be so voracious for life .

“Die . ” Long Chen slashed his saber . A ma.s.sive saber-image whistled toward them, and a powerful qi wave blocked out the world .

“No-!”

Four people turned into b.l.o.o.d.y mist . That saber had not only been shocking powerful, but it also contained Long Chen’s fury .

These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds with their mistaken beliefs had muddled the entire world . Not having a belief was scary, but having a mistaken belief was even scarier .
