Chapter 1752 (2/2)
The fact that Guo Ran had kept his ranking allowed Long Chen to sigh with relief . No matter what, one of them had entered the top ten . At the very least, they had accomplished what Qu Jianying had asked them to do .
As for himself, he was indifferent . He had made his preparations for the worst-case scenario . Furthermore, just before Evilmoon had teased him out of boredom, he had decided about what to do .
If his name vanished from the Devil Slaughter Rankings, he would officially leave the Righteous path, making his Dragonblood Legion an independent power free of the restrictions of the Righteous path . Whoever provoked him, he would destroy .
However, at the same time as he had thought this, he had also thought of an even more brazen plan . That was to find every person who was slandering him and kill them .
At that time, Long Chen had been filled with hatred . However, Evilmoon had distracted him, causing that surge of hatred to vanish . It was replaced with indifferent calm .
In the end, Long Chen’s name slowly vanished from the Devil Slaughter Rankings . It well and truly vanished . The Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples were infuriated .
“b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, is the Devil Slaughter Divine Tablet blind?! How did senior apprentice-brother Long Chen cheat?! They’re clearly bullying us!”
Angry roars rang out due to the disciples being overly emotional . These disciples had been in the battle with Long Chen, and they knew that if it hadn’t been for him, none of them would have survived . Seeing his name truly vanish, they were enraged .
“Do not blaspheme the Sovereign!” shouted an Elder .
The Devil Slaughter Divine Tablet had been created by a Sovereign and represented the Sovereign’s will . For that disciple to say that it was blind was blaspheming the Sovereign, which was unacceptable .
“So what if they’re a Sovereign? Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen clearly relied on his own power to take first place, so how can the tablet decide that his contributions should be nulled just because of a group of despicable people? That’s completely unjust!”
“Exactly, senior apprentice-brother led us in the battle, and we personally saw everything! How can it do this?”
“Everyone, don’t get emotional . This little bit of grievance isn’t worth crying over . We slaughtered our way through endless devil creatures and spilled blood without frowning, so how can you start acting up over something like this? If you’re going to act like this, you can’t tell others I’m your brother when you go out,” joked Long Chen with a smile .
Although that was what he said, he was extremely moved . They really did support him sincerely . Just like he could accept others insulting him but not his people, they also could accept others insulting them, but not Long Chen .
“Heavens, look! Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen’s name has reappeared!”
Suddenly, someone cried out in shock . He pointed at the tablet with excitement .
Everyone looked, only to find that this person was lying . Long Chen’s name was gone . They were just about to curse him when they found that Long Chen’s name was really back . However, it was so faint that if you didn’t look carefully, you wouldn’t notice it .
“It… it’s really back . ”
Long Chen’s name was slowly recovering, becoming clearer until it fully returned to its original violet-gold color . It was even brighter than it was at the start .
When Long Chen’s name was s.h.i.+ning at full force, a line of words appeared behind it as well: sixty-four percent against, thirteen percent neutral, one hundred and ten percent supporting .
“What?”
When they saw this line of words, everyone became dumbfounded . Had a problem occurred with the Devil Slaughter Divine Tablet? It didn’t even know how to count anymore? How could the numbers be so wild?
If there were sixty-four percent of people against him, then even if the rest supported him, there would only be thirty-six percent . With that many people against him, Long Chen’s ranking would be erased from the Devil Slaughter Rankings .
Furthermore, one hundred percent was one hundred percent . Where had one hundred and ten percent come from? Just what was one hundred and ten percent supposed to mean?
The Xuantian Dao Sect’s side was unable to comprehend, but a clamor erupted throughout the rest of the world . Had the Devil Slaughter Divine Tablet really broken?
“It’s them!” Long Chen suddenly realized what was going on . He almost didn’t dare to believe it .
“It’s the sisters from the Spirit World, they’re supporting us!” Guo Ran also cried out excitedly .
There was no such expression as one hundred and ten percent in the Martial Heaven Continent, but there was in the Spirit World . It represented a pinnacle .
Back in the Spirit World, Long Chen and the others had conversed with the Spirit race’s people . They had heard them use this term . One of their common phrases was: With my one hundred and ten percent grat.i.tude, I bless you in the name of the Life G.o.d Tree to have a long life, happiness, luck, and to be free from sorrow and pain…
This was part of their prayer . Long Chen and the others had heard it many times, so they naturally had remembered this strange phrase of one hundred and ten percent .
“But the Spirit World isn’t part of the Martial Heaven Continent! How can they partic.i.p.ate in the Devil Slaughter Rankings?” Xia Chen interjected .
“I don’t know either . But Sovereign Yun Shang had a deep connection with the Spirit World . Clearly, the support of the Spirit World is enough to determine things . Even if everyone in the Martial Heaven Continent was against me, they wouldn’t be able to affect me . Hehe, interesting, those hopping clowns messed around for so long, so slapping them in the face is truly satisfying . I wonder whether any of them have coughed up blood and fainted?”
Long Chen had a faint, petty smile rejoicing in his enemies’ misfortune . This sudden turnaround was truly refres.h.i.+ng .
Just at that moment, the projection of the Devil Slaughter Divine Tablet shattered . The world shook, and the clouds began congregating over the Xuantian Dao Sect from every direction .
