Chapter 1623: Sent Flying With a Kick

Just looking at that little fellow’s vengeful smile and his previous mocking of him in defense of Di Xin, Long Chen knew that this little fellow was causing trouble again.

w.a.n.g Shan was Di Xin’s follower. Hence, if the little fellow wanted to cause trouble for Long Chen, w.a.n.g Shan would definitely help.

Just as everyone was looking at Long Chen, Long Chen vanished, reappearing in front of that smiling little fellow.

A large hand slapped across the little fellow’s face, and he immediately coughed up blood, all his teeth flying out in a beautiful arc before scattering to the ground.

Startled cries rang out as no one had expected Long Chen to suddenly attack. His actions were too quick for anyone to react.

Long Chen clenched that person’s throat in his hand. He was just a rank eight Celestial. In front of Long Chen, he didn’t have the slightest ability to resist.

“You didn’t respect the gamble. I said you had to die or finish eating all the stones. Now you’ve decided not to finish the stone, so I’ll be taking your life,” said Long Chen coldly as he held that person like he was a chicken.

The man struggled, trying to say something. But with his throat held by Long Chen, he couldn’t form a complete word. He was filled with terror.

“Courting death!” Just at this moment, w.a.n.g Shan let out a furious roar. His hands became sharp claws, and he reached for Long Chen’s back. His claws easily tore through s.p.a.ce, showing that he was truly powerful.

“Scram!” Long Chen’s shout was like thunder, shaking everyone’s ears and causing them to stumble.

Long Chen met w.a.n.g Shan’s claws with a kick. With a powerful explosive sound, w.a.n.g Shan was sent flying. However, Long Chen was a bit surprised. w.a.n.g Shan’s power was also great, and he was only knocked back a few steps.

“What?!”

“He managed to kick w.a.n.g Shan flying?”

“Just who is he?!”

Everyone was stunned. w.a.n.g Shan was the Southern Xuan Region’s top expert. Rumor was that he had never suffered a defeat to anyone except Di Xin. How could he be sent flying by some nameless little fellow?

“Do you remember that I said that if I wanted to kill you, no one could save you? Originally, you managed to keep your little life, but you just had to send yourself to your death. That’s fine with me.”

Startled cries rang out along with a bang. That fellow exploded into blood mist, and even his Yuan Spirit exploded. He was fully and completely dead.

Although that man who was killed had been told by others that the cloaked person was Long Chen, he had felt that w.a.n.g Shan was the peak heavenly genius of the Southern Xuan Region and thus shouldn’t be any weaker than Long Chen. So even if that person was Long Chen, w.a.n.g Shan should be able to protect him. So he had told w.a.n.g Shan about how Long Chen had said disrespectful things about Di Xin with exaggerated details, all so that w.a.n.g Shan would handle Long Chen.

Even if w.a.n.g Shan wasn’t able to defeat Long Chen, he had presumed that the two of them would have a mighty fight of giants. That would at least be some vengeance for making him eat stones.

However, he had never expected that even before a challenge was issued, Long Chen would instantly capture him. By the time he regretted it, it was too late.

The blood mist slowly dissipated. A rank eight Celestial was slain just like that. People covered their mouths as they stared at Long Chen with shock.

Those people who had entered after Long Chen s.h.i.+vered. They knew someone this vicious could only be that same person they had seen registering.

The disciples who had eaten the stones quivered. They also hadn’t finished eating the stone tablet. Would they be killed next?

“Long Chen, how brazen! You actually came to our Southern Xuan Region to run amok! Today, I’ll teach you that the Southern Xuan Region is not somewhere you can be arrogant!”

w.a.n.g Shan’s manifestation exploded into existence. The pressure of an Empyrean immediately filled this s.p.a.ce. There were some strange images within his manifestation, proving his manifestation had started to awaken.

Everyone’s expressions changed, and they hastily retreated, afraid of being caught in any shockwaves.

“Long Chen, release your power. Otherwise, you’ll be killed in an instant. That would be boring,” said w.a.n.g Shan. Battle intent blazed in his eyes.

“Long Chen? He… he’s the Eastern Xuan Region’s demon king?”
