Chapter 1621 (2/2)

Everyone was shocked. Long Chen had attacked twice, both times too quickly for them to react and without any warning.

Everyone here was a genius, and even the weakest was a rank seven Celestial. However, by the time any of them could react, Long Chen’s attack was already done. They realized that in front of him, they didn’t even have the slightest ability to resist.

“Either eat it or die. This is the price of your foolishness. Perhaps you’ve gotten used to having a vicious tongue by relying on your status to harm others without them being able to retaliate. However, your luck today isn’t good because my good mood is gone. No one can save you now. So let me repeat it one last time. Eat it or die. You can choose for yourself.” Long Chen’s voice didn’t contain the slightest emotion, and it rang out in everyone’s ears. His icy killing intent made them all s.h.i.+ver.

The two women Long Chen had spoken with were shocked. They had never imagined that the kind and warm man would instantly transform into a life-reaping demon king.

One of the disciples quivered and knelt. He grabbed a piece of stone, crushed it, and placed the fragments in his mouth. He really ate it.

He had no choice but to eat it. Long Chen had locked onto the people who had provoked him with his Spiritual Strength. As soon as they resisted, they knew that Long Chen’s lightning attack would mercilessly cut them down.

If they didn’t eat it, they would die. If they ate it, they would only lose face. In the end, under the threat of death, they submitted.

Following the first one, all those experts, who had said that Long Chen would have to lick their shoes if he didn’t succeed, bent down and crushed a piece of stone, putting the bits into their mouths.

Seeing them start eating the stone, Long Chen’s expression softened slightly. He turned to the testing disciple. “Can I enter now?”

“Yes, of course!” The disciple personally led the way for him, bringing him away from this place.

Once Long Chen left, the disciples eating the stones finally stopped. Their expressions were frighteningly gloomy.

One of the disciples punched a rock, raging, “What a bully! How dare he humiliate us like this?! I’m going to report this to my grandfather. We’ll mobilize the entire sect’s power to kill him!”

“I’d advise you to endure it.”

A man with a sword on his back and a strong aura spoke indifferently from the crowd.

“What do you mean?!” raged that person. If this man wasn’t a rank nine Celestial, while he was just a rank seven Celestial, he might have already attacked him.

“Before this, I went to the Eastern Xuan Region and attended a convention. I think this person comes from the Eastern Xuan Region,” said the sword-bearing man.

“So what if he’s from the Eastern Xuan Region?” That person had yet to understand what the sword-bearing man was saying.

“The Eastern Xuan Region?”

However, other people let out startled cries.

“Could it be…” All their expressions changed. When the Eastern Xuan Region was brought up, they thought of one person.

That person had challenged and defeated the entire Eastern Xuan Region. He had annihilated dozens of sects. Both the Righteous path and the Corrupt paths were shaken by his slaughter. During the Dragon Slaughtering Convention, he had killed until there were mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.

“Heavens, is it really him?!” The woman who had pushed into Long Chen due to the crowd covered her mouth, filled with shock.

Back then, she had felt him to be familiar, but she couldn’t recall knowing such a person. Now, she finally recalled where she knew him from.

Her heart pounded. Not even in her wildest dreams would she have thought that she’d end up intimately touching such a legendary figure by chance.

However, she was curious. Didn’t the stories say that Long Chen was cold-blooded and merciless? He had slaughtered countless people with his vicious means. However, even when she had crashed into him, and when he had saved that other woman, he had only punished the evildoers. Although his methods were tyrannical, they were righteous too. He didn’t seem as a bad a person as the stories made him out to be.

“Is it really… him?” The disciple who had spoken quivered. The others in the same position as him also quivered. They began to sweat.

“I was too far away at the time to see his face. But his face… it’s very familiar.” The sword-bearing man didn’t say anything more after this. Instead, he went to register.

After hearing that, the others didn’t dare to say any more vicious words. Some of them came from top sects, but Long Chen had destroyed at least a hundred sects on his own. How could they dare to provoke him further? Although they weren’t sure it was him, their courage had been broken.

In the end, everyone obediently registered. From start to end, they didn’t bring up that name again, as if it was taboo, as if saying it would bring bad luck on them.

Long Chen didn’t make those people finish eating the whole stone tablet. However, they had to eat at least a bite. This way, they could count as even.

Being led by the female disciple, as soon as he entered a set of gates, a peaceful and natural air rushed over him.
