Chapter 1656 (2/2)

“What profound scheming. That way, you can push all the responsibility onto Shen Bijun,” said Di Xin. He was surprisingly calm.

“That’s where you’re wrong. I disdain to have to explain myself, and I never push away my responsibility. My motto has always been that if others don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. If others do offend me, I’ll endure a bit, and if they offend me again, I’ll pull them out by the roots. So when you’re rude to me, mock me, turn your nose up at me, I can’t be bothered to deal with you. But when you raise your blade against me, that’s not offending me, that’s trying to kill me, so you become my real enemies. I’m never lenient toward my enemies,” said Long Chen coldly.

Right now, the Jade Lake Sacred Land had been turned into ruins, and of the tens of thousands of people that had entered, only the Pill Fairy, Tang Wan-er, Chu Yao, Meng Qi, Cloud, Liu Ruyan, Long Chen, and Di Xin remained. His voice echoed over the ruins.

“Hahaha!” Di Xin suddenly raised his head and laughed. “Long Chen, I admit you’re very powerful. You and Shen Bijun are both very crafty. I admit I’m not on the same level as you when it comes to scheming. However, if you really think that you’re in control now, you’re gravely mistaken. In front of absolute power, all schemes are useless.”

“Now you're using my line,” said Long Chen indifferently. That line did often come from his mouth. Now that it came from Di Xin’s, it sounded strange to him.

Di Xin’s lips curled. “Long Chen, I really hate you. I hate you for the way you speak, I hate you for having so many women that like you, I hate you for thinking yourself infallible. I really want you dead.”

“You hate me so much? Well, I only hate you for one thing. I hate you for being an arrogant idiot with an unchanging poser act. People like you think that as soon as you’re born, you’re a supreme existence that others must revere and wors.h.i.+p. If someone doesn’t wors.h.i.+p you, it’s disrespectful and blasphemy, so it depends on your mood whether to torment them or even take their lives. As for this unchanging poser act with absolutely no skill, that’s even more detestable. I feel like it should be you who dies instead,” said Long Chen tranquilly.

He had seen many people from the Eastern Wasteland to the Central Plains that were just like this. He didn’t know where these people’s superiority complex came from.

Were their parents and elders all fools to raise such arrogant people? They were like pigs. So what if you raised them up to be bigger? Was it so they could cook them into a delicious meal eventually? He really couldn’t figure out the point of these people. Did being a poser all day show their brilliance?

“Are you jealous? Hahaha!” Di Xin laughed delightedly. “The strong are respected, while the weak can only be slaves to the strong. That’s the only way for them to survive. What’s wrong with that? I, Di Xin, have an ill.u.s.trious status, as well as an exceptional talent. As for my looks, I’m miles ahead of you. What qualifications do you have to compare to me? You could kill Shen Bijun because you have information that can be used against her, but do you dare to kill me? If you kill me, let alone you and your wives, even your sect and families will be eradicated to the last. Do you dare?”

Long Chen looked at Di Xin with a hint of hesitation. “In truth, I can’t confirm if I dare to or not. How about you show me your neck and let’s test that theory right now?”

“You…!” Di Xin almost choked. He roared, “Do you think I’m as stupid as you?! I’m telling you, you don’t have the power to kill me! In fact, you’ll all die here at my hands! The only reason I’m telling you this much is so that you’ll understand just how foolish you are.”

Di Xin suddenly formed a hand seal. His heavy water domain began to boil as a huge ma.s.s of figures appeared.

Those figures were silver fish. Each of them was fist-sized, but their head took up two-thirds of their body. Their mouths were lined with sharp teeth.

There were tens of thousands of these strange fish. They rapidly swam forward like a bolt of silver lightning at Long Chen.

Long Chen’s true body slashed its saber. However, his power was impacted by the heavy water domain, and his saber-image only caused a metallic ringing sound when it struck the silver fish. They were completely unharmed.

One of them shot toward him and immediately bit down on his arm. Long Chen felt a burst of pain. His skin was as tough as an Ancestral item but was still penetrated by these teeth. His arm began to bleed.

“Hahaha, these are Life-Devouring Silverfis.h.!.+ They’re a mutant species whose bodies are stronger than metal. Furthermore, they are immune to lightning, so don’t even think of using your thunderforce against them. They eat precious ores to grow, making their teeth even sharper than Ancestral items. These Life-Devouring Silverfish are something my family raised off the embryo of a dead Life-Devouring Silverfish. They spent endless time and money on them. Including now, I’ve only used them three times. The two previous times were when I encountered enemies even stronger than you, but they were still devoured by the Life-Devouring Silverfish. As for you, you’ll be the third. I want to personally see you be torn apart along with your Yuan Spirit, hahaha! Magical Water Devours the Heavens!” Di Xin laughed and his manifestation vanished. His heavy water domain was enveloped by seven consecutive waves of divine light. He was clearly concentrating all his power on strengthening the binding of the heavy water domain so that Long Chen couldn’t escape.

“Idiot, if it weren’t for Shen Bijun, you’d have long since died.” Long Chen was indifferent to Di Xin’s actions. He was also indifferent to these Life-Devouring Silverfish. His Yuan Spirit merged back with his true body. He waved his hand, and a black sphere of water appeared in his head. Terrifying Nether Qi spread.
