Chapter 1623 (2/2)

w.a.n.g Shan had said Long Chen’s name twice, shaking everyone’s hearts. They stared in shock at the cloaked figure.

Long Chen slowly pulled off his hood, revealing his face. Startled cries rang out.

This was a face that they all recognized. Photographic jades of him had spread throughout the Central Plains, including the Southern Xuan region.

Long Chen was claimed to be the Eastern Xuan Region’s top expert. He had dominated everyone in the same realm. He and his Dragonblood Legion had created legend after legend. He was a figure shrouded in mystery.

“I’ll let you attack me. If I can’t kill you within ten moves, I will leave the Skywood Divine Palace immediately.” Long Chen looked indifferently at w.a.n.g Shan who was floating in the sky. He clasped his hands behind his back.

Each of his words was like a hammer striking people’s hearts. That was too ridiculous, wasn’t it? He wanted to kill w.a.n.g Shan within ten moves? w.a.n.g Shan, an Empyrean whose manifestation had reached an initial awakening? Was there really such a person in this world?

Such big words would only cause others to laugh, but when they came from Long Chen’s mouth, they were filled with unquestionable confidence.

They looked from the furious w.a.n.g Shan to the indifferent Long Chen. Their hearts pounded. They were about to witness an unprecedented battle of geniuses.

“One is the top genius of the Southern Xuan region who has never been suppressed by anyone but Di Xin, while another is the peerless demon king of the Eastern Xuan Region, someone who walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. If they were to fight, just what kind of unimaginable sight would that be?”

People were nervous, excited, and afraid, yet also filled with antic.i.p.ation.

w.a.n.g Shan felt a bad feeling upon seeing Long Chen look at him so calmly. He didn’t know why he felt like that. He had won countless battles in his life. Other than Di Xin, no one had defeated him. For Long Chen to say he could kill him within ten moves, it was a giant insult.

However, at the same time as he was infuriated, he felt a terror that stemmed from his soul. This was his first time feeling such a sensation.

“Ignorance is such bliss. You are nothing more than a frog at the bottom of a well. Do you think dominating the Eastern Xuan Region is so amazing? Today, I’ll kill you to show you that you can’t dominate the entire world! Understand that the Southern Xuan Region will be your burial ground!” w.a.n.g Shan’s entire body began to s.h.i.+ne. He shot at Long Chen.

Long Chen didn’t move. However, inside his body, the energy of his stars was already circulating. He was just waiting for w.a.n.g Shan to get closer.

After entering the Netherworld, he had not only obtained many treasures and learned many new things, but he also felt like his fighting skills had progressed to a new level.

This kind of feeling was strange. Although Long Chen knew that this w.a.n.g Shan was very powerful, and the latter even had the aura of a divine item, which showed that he had a divine item protecting himself, Long Chen still felt completely confident in killing him within ten moves. This was a kind of premonition. It was very strange.

That was why Long Chen didn’t take the initiative to attack. He simply looked at w.a.n.g Shan calmly. He was like a G.o.d of death whose blade was already raised. He was simply waiting for his prey to come to him.

Just as w.a.n.g Shan attacked, the ground split open and countless wooden stakes flew out, forming a large net that separated w.a.n.g Shan and Long Chen.

Those wooden stakes possessed great power. A Life Star Elder of the Skywood Divine Palace appeared.

“Please don’t bring your personal grudges into the Skywood Divine Palace. Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to expel you,” warned the Elder.

“Long Chen indiscriminately killed someone!” shouted w.a.n.g Shan.

“It wasn’t indiscriminate. I had a bet with that person, and after losing, he refused to follow through with the agreed-upon terms. That’s why his life was mine. Everyone outside can testify to that,” said Long Chen coldly.

“Alright, this matter ends here. Don’t cause a disturbance again, or you’ll be kicked out of the Jade Lake Pageant. That will become your life’s regret,” advised the Elder before leaving.

w.a.n.g Shan’s expression was gloomy, but he didn’t dare to take the initiative to attack again. This Jade Lake Pageant was hosted by the Skywood Divine Palace. If he really dared to cause a fuss here and angered the Skywood Divine Palace, no one would be able to stop them from kicking him out.

“Count yourself lucky. Otherwise, you won’t have lived to see tomorrow’s sun,” said w.a.n.g Shan coldly.

“Fool, someone like you thinks he can expound on the Dao? Are you trying to make people die of laughter? Tranquility leads to reflection, reflection leads to intelligence? Only then can you be free of your emotions and desires, opening the gate to comprehension? Does your current appearance seem tranquil? Does it seem intelligent? Do you even have any intelligence? Truly laughable. I can’t believe you didn’t feel shame talking about the Dao to others. Do you know how to feel embarra.s.sed?” sneered Long Chen

“Since you’re so wise, why don’t you share your wisdom with us?” Just at this moment, another man appeared behind w.a.n.g Shan.

When he appeared, he immediately drew a burst of startled cries.
