Chapter 1177 (2/2)

Long Chen snorted and stabbed Blooddrinker straight at the Bloodkill Hall expert . It looked like he was using a suicidal move to kill his opponent, causing everyone to jump .

“Haha, are you trying to scare me? I’ve killed countless people, and I’ve long since grown tired of living . Let’s go ahead and die together!” The Bloodkill Hall expert laughed in the face of Long Chen’s suicidal thrust . The path of his sword didn’t change .

Although Long Chen’s saber had the advantage when it came to length, it didn’t matter . If his saber struck him, Long Chen definitely wouldn’t be able to dodge his sword . They would definitely both die .

Xia Youluo was in the midst of forming one-handed seals in the air . A golden rune had appeared on her forehead, and powerful fluctuations spread from her fierce Sword Qi .

She was preparing one of her ultimate moves, but she still needed more time . Hence, she was shocked to see Long Chen use such a move and cursed him for being stupid inside . If he died, the Grand Xia’s reputation would fall . But just panicking had no use .

Just as their two weapons began to pa.s.s by each other, the tip of Long Chen’s saber lightly touched the point of the Bloodkill Hall expert’s sword . A soft energy transferred through .

The Bloodkill Hall expert’s expression completely changed . He hadn’t expected Long Chen’s control over his energy to have reached such a terrifying level . His incredibly fierce power instantly transformed to become gentle .

The soft power brushed his sword to the side without letting his sword’s energy erupt . Now he was completely open and still moving toward Long Chen .

“Fool, who would die with you . f.u.c.k off!”

Pow! After moving aside the Bloodkill Hall expert’s sword, Long Chen slapped him hard across the face . He shot back like a shooting star .

The direction he was slapped into was right at Xia Youluo . She had just finished preparing her move, and it was like Long Chen was intentionally sending him to her .

“Soaring Cloud Deathblow!” Xia Youluo’s sword slashed down . There was no sword-light . People could only vaguely see a black crack appear in s.p.a.ce .

The Bloodkill Hall expert was struck by the black crack and instantly blew apart, turning into nothing more than dust that dissipated in the air . Even his Yuan Spirit was killed .

“What a strange power . ” Long Chen saw it clearly . The energy contained within her sword was something he had never seen before . It was incredibly sharp, as if nothing could block its path . Even the Bloodkill Hall expert’s King item shattered .

But Xia Youluo’s eyes rapidly dimmed after using this move . Although that light quickly recovered, Long Chen knew that she had paid a heavy price to use this move . She was just acting fine .

“Haha, princess is mighty and domineering . I still have some things to do, so I’ll leave first . If I have a chance in the future, I’ll treat princess to a meal,” said Long Chen as he turned to leave .

“Hold! Who said you could leave?” Xia Youluo looked at Long Chen curiously .

She had felt like something was off the entire time . Now seeing him wanting to leave so hastily, she became even more sure something was fishy .

“Princess, could it be you want to treat me to the meal instead? I accept your kindness, but I just ate, so let’s pick another day . At that time, I’ll properly enjoy your Grand Xia’s hospitality,” said Long Chen .

Long Chen didn’t want to get close to her . She didn’t seem like someone easy to get along with . Although his little dabbler face-reading arts were just used to trick others, he could tell a person’s general character in just a glance . This woman was probably even more obstinate than Tang Wan-er . There was no point in torturing himself .

“What is going on here? You want to just leave without saying a word? Don’t you think you need to give us a clear explanation?” Xia Youluo didn’t want to let Long Chen leave . She looked around and then pointed at the ruins on the ground from the collapsed tunnel . She wanted to bring Long Chen to an investigation .

She continued to feel like something was strange about Long Chen, but she wasn’t able to pinpoint what exactly . Although the Bloodkill Hall’s Soul Transformation expert had been killed by her, she still felt uncomfortable inside . So she wanted to find an excuse to keep Long Chen .

However, she spent most of her time cultivating and wasn’t socially skilled . And so she used the thing she was most comfortable with, her status as a princess, to hold Long Chen accountable .

“What is there to explain? I found the Bloodkill Hall’s stronghold, and for the Grand Xia’s honor, I risked my life to provoke them, making them cause such a huge disturbance so that you could come and capture them . Was there something wrong with that?” Long Chen shrugged .

“But you… you could have reported it, and we could have handled it from there,” quibbled Xia Youluo .

“Princess, are you joking? Since the Bloodkill Hall dared to operate right in the capital of Grand Xia, do you think they wouldn’t prepare themselves? They have countless external workers . How many eyes do they have amongst the peddlers you pa.s.sed on your way here? By the time your people arrived, they’d have long since run . My method was the only right choice . ” Long Chen shook his head .

Xia Youluo had turned red to her ears from Long Chen’s arguments . She was unable to out-talk Long Chen, and she angrily said, “I don’t care . No matter what, you have to come back with us . There are many things I need to inquire about . ”

Long Chen couldn’t help being speechless . Now even such completely unreasonable words came out of her mouth . Just at this moment, a group of people walked over with Xia Yunchong at the front .
