Chapter 88 – Conflict!Translated by:Edited by:TLCed by: OMA
The vulgar middle-aged man chuckled. He thought he was lucky, finally being able to let off some steam upon seeing a handsome youngster coming towards him,
[Devil82 TL Note::Chinese translation is not letting off steam but it’s as close I can get without involving traditional Chinese medicine.]
Long Chen could never imagine that this middle-aged man would have such a weird and disgusting preference. He didn’t fancy young women, but young men like Long Chen himself.
The look he revealed made Long Chen want to hurl.
“What the h.e.l.l? What does this person want?” Long Chen still didn’t really understand.
At this time, the wretched middle-aged man chuckled and said, “Good little boy, come! Let this uncle take care of your needs!”
Long Chen almost retched when he heard this. He recalled that there were queer men who weren’t interested in women, but in men. The middle-aged man in front of him was obviously that kind of man.
Just as his voice trailed off, the weird middle-aged man was going to make his move. However, Long Chen’s body became an afterimage right before his eyes.
This fleeting afterimage instantly made the man from the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect squint.
“So young, but already knows martial arts. It must be a member of a local clan. It’s going to be fun playing with this one!”
He barely registered the thought before the speed of Long Chen’s shadow, increased a hundredfold. The middle-aged man only managed to blink before Long Chen disappeared.
In the next moment, a blow large enough to make him throw up his last meal struck him squarely in his stomach. The vulgar middle-aged man cried out and dropped down, curling up like a boiled shrimp.
“What is going on? How could that youth’s speed be so fast? Is that a movement related martial technique? Does this boy have a great background?”
Being a veteran of countless b.l.o.o.d.y fights, although the man felt great pain in his abdomen but he did not lose consciousness.
Thinking that Long Chen might be the pampered offspring of some powerful faction, he endured the pain and twirled his eyes. He immediately kneeled and begged for his life, with tears and snot running down his face, “Distinguished young master, this one named Li Yan has never done anything wrong in his life nor offended this young master. I hope this young master has mercy and spares this one’s life!”
[TL Devil’s Note: (眼神急转) twirling one’s eyes indicates that someone is hatching an idea]
“Really? Just now, weren’t you speaking about taking care of me, your father?”
Long Chen’s voice, dripping with anger, was transmitted into Li Yan’s ear.
“How could I dare to say that? Young master’s talent is outstanding and is not something a cretin such as I would ever dare to insult,” Li Yan said pitifully.
“This guy is acting pitiful now, but am I, Long Chen, such a gullible guy? He carries with him a scent of blood, and must have hurt countless people in his lifetime! The Crimson Blood Sacred Sect is such a secretive faction. It’s not a place for benevolent people.”
Long Chen originally wanted to take his life but thought that he could be of some use in the future. Without waiting, he kicked Li Yan squarely in the face. With a loud bang, Li Yan’s head smashed into the ground, as Long Chen viciously stepped on it.
This additional collision caused Li Yan even more pain. He would never imagine that this harmless looking Long Chen would lash out in such a vicious way!
The scorching pain on his forehead made Li Yan see stars, but he didn’t have time to pa.s.s out. The foot that was pressing on the back of his head was akin to a blade resting against the back of his head.
Li Yan had no clue over why he was beaten, but he had no option other than to beg for mercy. His fate was solely in the hands of Long Chen.
“Your father, I, won’t waste time on you, I’ll give you two choices. Choice one is death. Choice two, also death.”
Li Yan was scared senseless, his complexion became pale. Thinking that he might die here in this place, his face, which was pushed down into the mud, showed signs of utter despair!
Seeing this fellow wailing away endlessly, one could tell that this wasn’t a person with a strong will. Long Chen secretly felt satisfaction.
“Stop bawling; I, your father, was just kidding. I’m giving you two choices. The first choice is still death, but the second one is to take me to the thief lair of your Crimson Blood Sacred Sect.
Li Yan was originally in a state of despair, but after hearing that last sentence he first felt relief, then alarm. Hearing Long Chen saying those words, even if Li Yan was an idiot, he would still know that this time, Long Chen’s objective was the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect!
In a brief moment, many thoughts raced through his head.
“This kid was causing a commotion to lure me out, then inquiring about the others’ whereabouts. Seeing his actions, he must be trying to rescue those girls we captured from Yan Luo Town!
“This little guy sure is bold to the extreme, barging up the mountain alone at such a tender age. So be it, I will take you there. Let’s see how you will suffer in front of those two protectors! You’ve hit me twice. I Lin Yan will remember this!
Seeing this guy’s shifty eyes, Long Chen already knew what he was planning.
He’s the main objective right now was to locate the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect’s base of operations. As for what would happen afterwards, he would let Huang Feiyang deal with it. He couldn’t care less about Li Yan’s schemes.
“Well, taking this long, have you decided yet? You must be choosing death, right?”
Li Yan was scared senseless and immediately said, “Lord, this humble one chooses the second, this humble one chooses the second! I’ll take you there at once!”
“Oh?”
Long Chen looked him over quizzically, “You are not planning anything, are you?”
“This humble one wouldn’t dare!”
