Chapter 678: 678
His long hair fluttered in the air, and the flames around him continuously burned . Long Chen seemed just like a flame god . The instant Long Chen destroyed those Heavenly Dao runes, it felt like time slowed down .
Personally seeing a Celestial be killed by Long San completely stupefied everyone . A Celestial had disappeared in front of them just like that .
A new flame spear appeared in Long Chenâs hand, and he pointed it at Huo Wufang . âContemptible brat, do you dare fight?â
âDo you dare fight?â
âDo you dare fight . . . ?â
Long Chenâs shout echoed throughout the silent mountain valley . That voice caused everyone to tremble . They had been completely suppressed by Long Chenâs unrivaled imposingness .
The leftover aura from killing the Celestial was still present on Long Chen . His powerful will caused heaven and earth to shiver . It made it so no one could form an urge to fight against him .
Holding his spear, with his aura surging out of him, Long Chen made everyone speechless . Huo Wufangâs expression darkened while the other Corrupt Celestial by his side was trembling inside . He was actually too afraid to fight Long Chen .
The elder hidden in the crowd smiled and then silently disappeared .
Xiao Die was filled with delight . Long Chen gave people an extremely trustworthy feeling, as if anything could be given to him to handle .
âWeâre going . â Huo Wufang was furious, but he still decided to bring his people away . From start to finish, all he had done was embarrass himself . Now that this Celestial had been killed, Huo Wufang had already lost all his face .
âHuo Wufang!â Long Chen suddenly appeared in front of him . âI know that this was all your dirty little plan . To dare touch my woman, you really are looking to die . I, Long San, donât have anything except my own life . If you want to play, then Iâll accompany you . But let me warn you, if you once more touch my woman, I will make you regret ever being born in this world . â
âLong San, are you threatening me?!â raged Huo Wufang .
âYouâre wrong . I never threaten anyone . I am someone who gets things done, someone who does whatever he wants to do . If you are a real man, then donât hide behind your schemes . I hear you once dared to face Long Chen . Could it be that after being beaten half-dead by Long Chen, your guts have shrunk and you donât dare face people head-on anymore?â sneered Long Chen .
BOOM!
Huo Wufangâs aura suddenly erupted, the ground beneath his feet trembling . A terrifying pressure rose as if an ancient beast was awakening within Huo Wufangâs body .
Long Chenâs heart shook . In that instant, he felt an extremely dangerous sensation . Something was definitely off with Huo Wufang . Long Chen hastily retreated a few steps and readied himself .
âWufang, you child, how can you get angry so easily? If you get angry even from an antâs provocation, how will you ever accomplish anything in the future?â
Suddenly, a cold shout rang out and Huo Changsheng appeared .
âChild knows his mistake,â Huo Wufang hastily said .
âLetâs go . Your world wonât be limited to this place . The opponents here are just stepping stones for you . Your target is a much vaster sky . â
Huo Changsheng didnât even look at Long Chen . He brought their people away just like that . Everyone was startled . Huo Changsheng had actually long since arrived but had just been watching in secret .
Long Chen was also startled . Huo Wufang was someone Long Chen had been able to play with like a child back in the Jiuli secret realm .
But just now, he had felt a chill . That was a feeling the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art would only give him when there was a danger to his life .
âJust what happened to Huo Wufang for him to give me such a dangerous feeling?â wondered Long Chen .
It seemed he had been a bit careless . Huo Wufang had completely changed . But it seemed he didnât want to release his true strength .
âLong San, you are amazing! Even a Celestial can be killed by you!â At this time, Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo also came over . They almost prostrated themselves toward Long Chen in admiration . In fact, it was almost a kind of worship .
His alchemy skills were incredible, and his combat abilities were also terrifying . He was a monster; there was no way he was human!
âSorry, in the Secret Tome Pavilion, IâŠâ apologized Long Chen .
âNo need to apologize . Youâre a member of our Pill Tower . You can learn whatever you want . If others want to fart about it, just let them . Furthermore, any disciple who joins the Pill Tower can enter the Secret Tome Pavilion once a month, and youâve only entered once . We didnât break any rules .
âAnd about that⊠Long San, are you sure youâre human? To have learned this much from entering the Secret Tome Pavilion once, are you sure you arenât a monster?â asked Chai Liehuo .
âAlright, donât spout nonsense . This isnât the place to talk . Letâs go back . Lady Xiao Die, Iâve already sent someone to buy you from the House of Pleasures . Youâll be your own person in the future,â said Fang Chang .
âBrother Fang⊠really, thank you,â said Long Chen . In truth, Long Chen knew that this was just his way of pulling him onto his side even more .
âNo need to thank me . Brother Chai and I might be junior masters of our families, but we actually get very little income . It canât even make up for a month of Huo Wufangâs expenses . This bill is something my familyâs old man paid for,â said Fang Chang .
Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo were both treated extremely strictly by their families . They had to make their own money through refining pills .
Alchemy was one of the greatest money-making tools in the world . But the two of them had it different . Their familiesâ goal was to temper them . They only allowed them to make money off refining extremely difficult pills with high odds of failure .
Sometimes they might spend a month refining without earning a single copper coin . In fact, they would even owe money for the ingredients . It was only in the past few years that their alchemy had improved enough that they managed to repay their debt and get some savings .
Long Chen approved of this method . At the very least, the two of them didnât have the same vile habits as Huo Wufang . The feeling they gave others was completely different .
âIâll have to thank him . â Long Chen smiled . This matter was now over . Long Chen pulled Xiao Die back with him to the Fang family .
The Fang family head was truly worthy of being a leader . He directly made a large courtyard available for Long Chen and Xiao Die . They had a large house with their own servants .
Long Chenâs relationship with the Fang and Chai families had grown even more intimate now . Now they no longer called him the same thing . Instead, they called him junior master Long, a name on the same level as Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo .
First master Chai, second master Fang, and third master Long . Now their three names rang throughout Pill Yang Prefecture .
A large disturbance erupted on the day Long Chen killed the Celestial . However, while the Corrupt path might feel fine abusing the Righteous path, they didnât dare to do anything to the Pill Tower .
Later that evening, the Fang family held a grand feast as a celebration . Fang Mingyuan was growing more and more pleased with Long San .
But after that feast, Fang Mingyuan told Long Chen he should focus on alchemy . Although he didnât say it directly, his meaning was very obvious . He didnât want Long Chen wasting his energy on Xiao Die . If a problem occurred during the finals because of that, it really would be a joke .
Long Chen didnât know whether to laugh or cry . But he immediately patted his chest and guaranteed he wouldnât do such a thing before the finals .
That satisfied Fang Mingyuan . To be so sensible at such a young age and to possess such shocking abilities but still be low-key was truly rare .
When the social niceties were finally over, Long Chen returned to his residence . Xiao Die was already there, but her expression was a bit unnatural from nervousness .
Long Chen smiled slightly . Perhaps Xiao Die had misunderstood . âXiao Die, Iâve refined the pills already . Theyâre in this ring . Do you need to use a transportation formation to leave or do you have another method?â
Hearing that Long Chen had prepared the pills this quickly delighted Xiao Die . âI donât need a transportation formation . We have our own secret technique . As long as I activate it, Iâll immediately be sent away . â
Long Chen handed the spatial ring to her . âThen you should leave quickly . Remember to tell Xiaoqian that I⊠um⊠just tell her that I miss her . â
âThank you, brother Long . Iâll definitely pass on your words . â
Xiao Die quickly took out a dozen strange bones . Those bones had mysterious carvings on them that possessed powerful spatial strength .
âWill this be sensed by others?â asked Long Chen .
âNo . Our original devil raceâs secret technique causes almost no spatial fluctuations . The people outside this room wonât be able to sense a thing . â
Buzz .
The bones began to glow . Xiao Die was enveloped by a gentle light, and then her body slowly faded .
âBrother Long, thank you for everything . Goodbye . â Xiao Die waved all the way until she completely disappeared .
The bones disintegrated, turning into a fine powder .
âXiao Dieâs gone now . Iâll have to think of an excuse . â Long Chen rubbed his chin, thinking . Suddenly, he felt almost ten powerful auras creeping into his courtyard .
âDamn, what perfect timing!â Long Chen smiled with delight .
