Chapter 1425: Berserk Sha Guangyan

Chu Yao had originally had a smile, but Sha Guangyan’s words caused her expression to sink.

“Sha Guangyan, Long Chen is my future husband. Insulting my husband is insulting me. Come. I won’t hold back any longer. You don’t need to hold back either.”

Chu Yao’s voice became icy-cold. The leaf sword in her hand transformed into mist and dissipated.

“Husband? Hahaha, I’d advise you to change your family plan. As soon as I leave the Spirit World, I will kill that idiot who dared to humiliate my ancient family alliance!” Sha Guangyan laughed.

“I don’t think you’ll be able to leave the Spirit World.”

Just as Chu Yao was about to form hand seals, an extremely familiar voice rang out.

Long Chen walked forward. The crowd of experts from the ancient races, Corrupt path, and ancient family alliance all moved out of the way.

“Long Chen!”

Chu Yao couldn’t believe her eyes. Her tears welled up. That was the person she had missed day and night. A single separation had lasted several years; it had been over a thousand bitter days and nights. All the hard work she put into her cultivation was to protect this man. Now that he appeared, she found herself unable to speak.

He had the same eyes, the same face, and that same warm smile. However, this face had become more resolute over this time. This was the maturity that came with going through wind and frost, rain and snow.

Long Chen slowly walked over to Chu Yao. He thought back to Phoenix Cry when the two of them had sworn to grow old together. While surrounded by enemies, they had depended on each other. This beauty had lost any of her old immaturity.

Now that the two of them finally met, they didn’t say anything. Long Chen carefully drew Chu Yao into his embrace as there was no need for words. All they needed to feel was the other’s heartbeats.

Just at this moment, Sha Guangyan’s expression sank, and he reached out to grab Long Chen’s throat.

For Long Chen to ignore him in front of all these experts was definitely an insult. He refused to be humiliated like this.

As soon as he attacked, Chu Yao tried to stop him, but Long Chen tightly held her.

Just as Sha Guangyan’s hand was about to reach Long Chen, a palm swung beautifully from an inconceivable angle, viciously striking him across the face.

This slap landed directly. The huge power caused Sha Guangyan’s face to distort, and he shot back like a shooting star.

He smashed straight through his sand barrier and into a distant stone pillar. The ground shook.

“Heavens!” Startled cries rang out. The ancient family alliance’s experts couldn’t believe that someone like Sha Guangyan had been sent flying by Long Chen.

Even the rank nine Celestials gulped. They were unable to comprehend how Long Chen had done this.

Long Chen’s hand was still in his slapping posture, while his other hand was tightly holding Chu Yao. His head was nestled into her hair. He hadn’t even glanced at Sha Guangyan.

In that instant, it was like time had turned still. Everyone stared at Long Chen and Chu Yao dumbfoundedly.

Long Chen wasn’t showing off. He simply wanted to hold Chu Yao longer. Even an extra blink of an eye made his heart feel a little bit better.

Holding Chu Yao’s body, inhaling her fragrance, he had an urge to cry.

From Chu Yao’s m.u.f.fled sobs, he completely understood her feelings. It was because he did that he felt even more ashamed.

Chu Yao’s life had been filled with pitfalls. She had been schemed against as a child and used as a bargaining chip. But because of Long Chen, she had resolutely jumped from a small, muddy pool, into a giant whirlpool. However, she had never complained.

In their several years apart, Long Chen had fought countless battles and gone through countless dangers. But Chu Yao had endured her own bitterness. Forcing herself to suppress how much she missed him, she had focused entirely on cultivating. She had lived every day in this contradiction. She definitely hadn’t suffered less than Long Chen.

When Long Chen thought back to his time with Chu Yao, he couldn’t recall a single thing he had ever given Chu Yao in return for all that she had done for him. It had always been Chu Yao silently supporting him.

He held her tightly, almost wanting to pull her into his own body. In his shame, he even forgot about his own body, leaving his hand hanging in the air. He forgot about everything except Chu Yao.

In the eyes of everyone else, this was a kind of flaunting, a taunt, and an intense provocation.

“DIE!” Sha Guangyan roared. He slammed the ground with his palms, and the earth transformed into a sea of sand. A large hand flew out of it and slammed toward the two of them.

Long Chen was about to attack when Chu Yao held onto him this time. Green leaves appeared below Chu them, and a lotus flower bloomed around the two of them, protecting them from the sand.
