Chapter 1793: Goals

The battle of heavenly geniuses in Clearwind City had ended with Xiang Yunfei’s defeat . Even though a Netherpa.s.sage expert of the ancient races had interfered, Long Chen had still managed to kill Xiang Yunfei . This news caused huge waves throughout the entire continent .

Xiang Yunfei had been eighth place on the Devil Slaughter Rankings, and he had won this ranking not based on his amazing area slaughter arts, but on true power . He had not relied on techniques to get his ranking, so it could be said that he was a truly terrifying existence .

He possessed a paragon art, as well as ancestral divine items, the one hundred and eight Heavenly Bone Spears . He had even summoned the power of his ancestors but had still lost to Long Chen .

This battle also slapped the faces of certain malicious people spreading rumors that Long Chen had no power and had relied entirely on cheating to get first place on the Devil Slaughter Rankings .

In reality, the Devil Slaughter Rankings were based on the number of devil creatures that could be slain, so it was mainly testing wide-area killing power . That kind of killing power wasn’t necessarily strong in one-on-one battles .

Xiang Yunfei hadn’t relied on area attacks but had still gotten eighth place . Furthermore, at that time, he hadn’t used his paragon art . He had relied entirely on his own power .

If Xiang Yunfei had used his paragon art at that time, perhaps he could have gotten first place .

However, such a figure had still died to Long Chen’s hands . That proved just how strong Long Chen was .

The entire continent was shaken . Those voices raising doubts about Long Chen were silent . Everyone’s gazes gathered on the ancient races .

Xiang Yunfei was one of the ancient races’ top geniuses, and he had been slain by Long Chen just like this . Would the ancient races declare war on the Martial Heaven Alliance?

Moreover, Long Chen hadn’t only slain Xiang Yunfei . On the same day, he had also slain Di Long’s son, infuriating the ancient races and the ancient family alliance in one go . For a while, the continent held its breath as it waited for the results .

The name of the Eastern Madman gained even greater power . Long Chen was truly worthy of this nickname . He would do anything regardless of the consequences . However, despite his craziness, he also had the brains to look for solutions to his problems .

…

Three incense sticks were inserted into the earth . There was a fresh grave here . Long Chen slowly rose from his respect toward this grave .

“If the first commander was still alive, this bow of yours would be his life’s glory,” said Ye Lingshan softly .

The first commander and second commander had been buried, and the others had already left . Long Chen had come on his own to light a stick of incense for him .

“He was worthy of it . He was a true hero . ” Long Chen touched the gravestone, rubbing away some dirt that had gotten onto it .

“Sometimes I really don’t understand men . A single gaze, a single promise is enough for you guys to risk your lives? Are you fools?” asked Ye Lingshan . She placed a flower in front of the grave . However, there were already many flowers covering the ground .

“We don’t understand either, but we feel like we can trust each other . I believe that if the roles were reversed, he would do the same for me . Other than that, you should realize that this was all planned by Di Xin . Xiang Yunfei’s target was me . To put it frankly, I was the one who implicated the two of them, but he didn’t blame me for it . Even if he wanted me to destroy the entire ancient family alliance, I’d have done it,” said Long Chen .

His gaze became cold when he brought this up . Those without any respect were the most dangerous .

Because they had no respect, they had no sense of fear or danger . Because they had no sense of fear or danger, they were completely unbridled and capable of doing anything .

Di Xin was such a person . He always thought that no matter what he did, his father and mother would protect him . Even if he couldn’t beat Long Chen, he still had the support of his parents . No one could do anything to him .

So he had no consideration for the consequences of his actions . Such a person would do things normal people wouldn’t even think of doing .

If you encountered such a person, you could ignore them, viewing them as an idiot and sc.u.m of society . But if you did ignore them, they would obstinately stick to you, and as long as you relaxed the slightest bit, they would do anything to harm you .

This time, Di Ruyun had been slain, Di Xin had been eliminated, and Xiang Yunfei had been killed . However, Long Chen felt like he had implicated a pair of innocent siblings . If the first commander hadn’t died, perhaps he would have become his close brother .

Xiang Yunfei was just one of the ancient races’ geniuses . What about Pill Valley? What about the Corrupt path? What about the Xuan Beasts? What about the Bloodkill Hall? What about the ancient family alliance?

Just how many people like Xiang Yunfei would come from them in the future? How many first commanders and second commanders would they cause to die? Would those sacrifices become Long Chen’s closest friends and family?

Upon thinking of this, Long Chen’s expression darkened . He had to get stronger . He wanted absolute power so he could shake his enemies, so he could intimidate idiots like Di Xin .
