Chapter 1694 (2/2)

“Long Chen, did something happen?” Meng Qi was the first to realize something was wrong, and she sent a message to Long Chen.

Long Chen replied, “Just now, I saw some winged devils on the other side. I got a bad feeling. Qu Jianying’s words might really come to pa.s.s. This eruption of the Devil Abyss will be unprecedented in history.”

“Winged devils? You mean…”

“Yes, just like those winged devils we’ve seen before. I don’t know if it was a misperception or not, but I feel very uneasy. Tell everyone to be careful at all times. Make sure they save their energy to handle anything unexpected. An even larger battle will come soon. As for the disciples of the Xuantian Dao Sect, don’t tell them this to avoid them getting nervous.”

Meng Qi nodded and pa.s.sed Long Chen’s orders to everyone. After learning that there were even more terrifying devil creatures in the rear, the Dragonblood warriors weren’t affected at all. Instead, they were filled with battle intent. Guo Ran especially was shouting excitedly and fought even more energetically.

After attacking once, Long Chen didn’t attack again. However, his name had instantly taken the top spot of the Devil Slaughter Rankings. That had shaken the Martial Heaven Continent. Countless people stared at that name with disbelief.

…

“Long Chen, you really have some skill. You’re truly powerful.”

Within an abyss, a man who appeared to be in his early twenties was sitting lotus style on the ground. His complexion was fair and delicate. He had a foot-long square formation board.

No one knew that this seemingly delicate, scholarly man was the one who had dominated first place on the Devil Slaughter Rankings for over a month, Xia Chen.

From an aerial viewpoint, a petal-like image was on the ground. The petal was huge, covering a hundred thousand miles. This image had countless wooden pillars stuck in the ground within it.

Those stone pillars were flas.h.i.+ng with countless runes. They constantly interwove, forming a giant formation.

Any devil creatures that entered the formation were blown apart. The stone pillars would merely light up slightly to kill them, and anything of value on their bodies, be it their bone clubs, teeth, and claws, would vanish, sucked into a spatial ring possessed by Xia Chen.

This was an absolutely terrifying formation. Xia Chen was just sitting there, and he completely blocked this exit. He was like an idle trapmaster, just waiting for the devil creatures to come to him.

If people saw this, they would definitely be so angered as to cough up blood. This was practically cheating. Others were risking their lives and working as hard as possible to kill the devil creatures, while he was calmly sitting there, waiting for his prey to come to him. He looked far too relaxed.

Seeing that his first place had been taken, Xia Chen merely smiled. He didn’t seem to care that much.

“Long Chen, I’m taking first. Although you’ve helped my Grand Xia a lot, I’m not very willing to see my spot on the Devil Slaughter Ranking be taken.” Xia Chen smiled slightly. He was full of confidence. He closed his eyes, not doing anything. He completely ignored the devil creatures that were still charging forward to their deaths.

…

“Long Chen, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you’re definitely cheating!” roared Di Xin. His face was twisted with hatred.

In an effort to get first place, Di Xin was unwilling to guard one place. He was going in every direction, attacking wherever the most devil creatures were. Quite a few experts were forced away because of him. He had been very close to surpa.s.sing Xia Chen. As long as he found another place with many devil creatures, he would have taken first place.

However, Long Chen had suddenly appeared, instantly taking first place as if it was as easy as breathing to him. Compared to Long Chen, his frantic rush to kill devil creatures was embarra.s.sing. Even if he did take first place, it wouldn’t have any glory to it.

Long Chen took first place like he was playing around. That had a huge impact on others. Di Xin, in particular, couldn't accept it. He was clenching his teeth so hard that they almost shattered.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, don’t get too arrogant! Let’s see if you can be so pleased when the strongest devil creatures appear in the end!” sneered Di Xin.

…

“He took first place just like that? I, Mo Nian, can only admire such showing off.”

Mo Nian was also shocked by Long Chen’s sudden climb on the Devil Slaughter Rankings. The Western Xuan Region was different from the Eastern Xuan Region. The Eastern Xuan Region had one direct channel, but the Western Xuan Region had many channels, with people defending each one. They couldn’t sense the huge army of devil creatures lying in wait behind the main spatial channel.

Long Chen had accidentally shown off when he had just been trying to kill the Shadowless Golden Mosquitoes. Mo Nian might not be aware of what was happening in the Eastern Xuan Region, but with his understanding of Long Chen, he was sure he had to have run into a coincidental opportunity.

After taking that one opportunity, Long Chen’s kill points didn’t go up again. Without any other knowledge of what had happened, it looked like Long Chen had let out a random attack, taken first place, and then felt like the battle was too boring, so he couldn’t be bothered to keep fighting.

That was why Mo Nian could only say that he admired Long Chen’s showing off. He didn’t know how many people’s jaws had fallen to the ground because of Long Chen’s one attack.

…

In the depths of the Devil Abyss, in an unremarkable corner, there was a very pretty girl wrapped in a black cloak. Although only the lower part of her face was revealed under her hood, she looked like a refined porcelain doll.

“Big brother Long Chen, I wonder if you’ll remember that little girl when you see my name. Perhaps you’ve long since forgotten my name!” The teenage girl gently rubbed a jade plate, or more accurately, the name on the jade plate that was first place. She couldn’t help sighing.
