Chapter 394 - Trampling the Three Demon Elders
Chapter 394 - Trampling the Three Demon Elders
Right when everyone ran out of patience, the black stone in front of them exploded. The shrapnel flew everywhere, fast enough to injure whoever was hit. The crowd did their best to dodge it.
Zhao Qingyun was elated because the results would be announced soon. He waved his arm, and a massive force protected the crowd. He waved again, and the dust was blown away, revealing the two people at the center of the explosion.
Everyone saw that it was indeed Long Chen and Murong Yu! The crowd wanted to know who had won, but they almost vomited blood when they saw Long Chen’s arm around Murong Yu’s waist!
“Motherfucker! He’s holding Senior Murong! Long Chen, let her go!”
“You fucking toad! Your face doesn’t match with hers!”
The crowd completely ignored the results of the trial and was more focused on this.
Even Zhao Qingyun and the three Demon Elders didn’t know what was happening. The Demon Elders had thought that either Long Chen or Murong Yu would come out dead. If she failed to kill him, she would’ve died thanks to the Black Yin Worm. Why was she alive, then?
The Demon Elders didn’t know what was happening.
Long Chen saw that everyone was shouting at him to let go of Murong Yu. She could barely stand, and he made sure she was stable before releasing her. If it had been a normal situation, Long Chen would’ve taken the opportunity to hold her longer, but after going through so much with Ling Xi, his heart was already hers. Also, he needed to hold back a little since Ling Xi was still watching him ...
Still, he couldn’t care less because he was on the verge of killing the Demon Elders when he saw them. He stood in front of Murong Yu and glared at the trio.
The crowd finally saw that Long Chen was holding something in his other hand. He revealed the sword, and everyone clamored. It was the Heaven-tier Divine Arm Demon Emperor Sword, the treasure of the Heavenly Demon Palace!
Long Chen had won?
The truth was right before their eyes, but they struggled to accept it. They had heard rumors of Long Chen killing Yang Danfeng, but Murong Yu was as strong as the three Demon Elders. There was no way he was stronger than them, right?
Everyone looked at the sword in his hand and started discussing it amongst themselves.
“Am I seeing things right? Did he really take the Demon Emperor Sword?”
“If you are seeing things wrong, then everyone else is too. But the sword is indeed in his hands, while senior Murong seems to be tired and wounded ...”
“He actually dared to hurt senior Murong? That damned animal ...”
“And what can you do? He’s the strongest youth in the Heavenly Demon Palace.”
The Demon Elders were uncomfortable when they listened to what everyone was talking about. Even they were astonished by what had happened. They had given Murong Yu the Frost Soul Essence and even told her what was going to happen inside the Demon Emperor Sword just so she could obtain the sword, but not only had she failed to take it, she hadn’t even died. What was happening?
Was it because of Long Chen?
“Big Brother, what is happening?” The Third Demon Elder’s eyes were bloodshot and his breathing gradually became heavier. The outcome was not what they had expected.
The First Demon Elder said nothing. He had detected the bloodlust coming from Long Chen, and it was directed towards them. Just as he sensed that, Long Chen suddenly pointed the Demon Emperor Sword at the three Demon Elders.
“You three, do you need me to tell everyone the despicable thing you did?” Long Chen’s cold voice echoed around the place. Everyone was still discussing the outcome when they were shocked by his words. They looked at him nervously.
Zhao Qingyun was originally very happy due to the outcome, but now his expression was somber. He trusted Long Chen, and seeing what he was doing, Zhao Qingyun was sure that Long Chen had his reasons. He kept quiet and waited for the scene to unfold.
“What are you talking about?” The Third Demon Elder felt indignant when Long Chen pointed the Demon Emperor Sword at them in public. He stood up and shouted, “Put down the Demon Emperor Sword! Don’t think it belongs to you just because you are holding it!? You even dare point it towards us? Do you know the difference in our status?”
“The three Demon Elders? You are no better than beasts.” Long Chen did not back down.
“What did you say?!” The Third Demon Elder’s beard shook when he got furious. He turned around and looked at Zhao Qingyun. “Palace Master, Long Chen is rude and dares to humiliate us in public. You better give us a good explanation for this! We have worked hard for the Heavenly Demon Palace, and we will not accept such humiliation from a junior! If you don’t punish him severely, the Heavenly Demon Palace will be a laughingstock to outsiders!”
Zhao Qingyun hadn't said anything when Long Chen suddenly charged towards the Third Demon Elder. “You old dog! Don’t you dare pressure my master!? Come and fight me!”
No one had expected Long Chen to do something like that. Long Chen had actually picked a fight with the second-in-command of the Heavenly Demon Palace, a Demon Elder?!
The Demon Emperor Sword was indeed a frightening weapon. The Third Demon Elder immediately turned around and faced him seriously. Long Chen was the one who had started it, so the Third Demon Elder didn’t hesitate to punch Long Chen.
The entire ground shook when the Third Demon Elder circulated his Qi and focused it on his fist!
“Heavenly Demon Earth Shattering Fist!”
The very air burst with shockwaves, and a black fist appeared in front of Long Chen. Everyone thought Long Chen would be split in half by the attack!
“Presumptuous tricks!” Long Chen chuckled and lashed out with the Demon Emperor Sword. Black Sword Qi shot outwards and crashed into the Third Demon Elder’s attack. It was as strong as Lin Zichen’s Imperial Sword Qi! The black Sword Qi split the Third Demon Elder’s attack in half and even continued flying towards the man himself!
“Suspended Demon Shield!”
The Third Demon Elder was shocked, and he used both of his fists to block it. He formed the seals, and a black shield appeared that barely blocked Long Chen’s Sword Qi. He took a few steps back from the impact.
The crowd couldn’t believe their eyes and shouted excitedly.
The Third Demon Elder’s anger boiled over when he heard the noises. He had underestimated Long Chen. After the first attack was neutralized, Long Chen ran up and launched another slash with Demon Emperor Sword Qi. It broke the shield in half and sent the Third Demon Elder flying backwards!
The impact caused the Third Demon Elder to spit out blood before falling onto the ground like a deflated ball. Everyone failed to react when they saw how disheveled the Third Demon Elder was. They never thought that he would be sent flying by Long Chen in just two attacks! He never even got to fight back.
“How could this be?”
“Goodness. I must be dreaming!”
“A Ninth River Stage cultivator is nothing before the Demon Emperor Sword!”
But they didn’t even get to process their emotions when Long Chen ran over and stomped the Third Demon Elder’s face. He placed the Demon Emperor Sword on the Third Demon Elder’s neck and was about to lop the head off!
“Chen’er! Stop!” Zhao Qingyun yelled from behind.
Long Chen stopped. He knew that it was not the right time to kill the three Demon Elders; he merely wanted to scare them. The Third Demon Elder lost control of his bladder when he was on the verge of death. He regretted his past actions, even though he didn’t know what he was regretting.
The Second and First Demon Elders stood in front of Long Chen. They were prepared to attack the moment Long Chen killed the Third Demon Elder. After Zhao Qingyun stopped him, the two Demon Elders sighed in relief even though the third was still being stepped on.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the scene. They had never thought the three Demon Elders would have such a day.
Long Chen’s foot was still on the Third Demon Elder while the first and second were looking at him. Zhao Qingyun approached Long Chen and shielded him.
Long Chen wanted to kill all three of them, but now was not the time. Also, they were right in saying that they were the pillars of the Heavenly Demon Palace. If Long Chen killed them, Zhao Qingyun’s burden would increase.
