Chapter 497: The Need To Be Vicious
Chapter 497: The Need To Be Vicious
Long Chen ran fast in the night. He ran strictly in the direction where the small arrow had come from, at the same time searching the area using his Soul Swallowing Gaze.
To be honest, ever since he started cultivating, there had been many incidents of people around him being kidnapped because of him. It made him extremely furious. This time, due to Zhao Wuji’s idiotic behavior, Long Chen decided to teach him a brutal lesson!
Long Chen was several times stronger than Zhao Wuji, and he had already beaten him once. He was well aware that it would take him no effort to beat Zhao Wuji. In fact, if he wasn’t trying to avoid the Red Ghost King, he would have beaten Zhao Wuji up already.
Long Chen soon left the Clear Shallows Pavilion compound. The Ancient Demon Domain covered a large region, and there were only seven main pavilions, so the rest of the land consisted of barren mountains. Long Chen arrived at one of the mountains, which was not far from the Clear Shallows Pavilion.
If the location was too far, Long Chen would not have found them.
Before he reached this mountain, he had spotted a soul using the Soul Swallowing Gaze and guessed that it was Zhao Wuji. But where was Huangfu Qi? Huangfu Qi had long become a little sister to him, one that he needed to protect. His concern for her was beyond Zhao Wuji’s imagination.
Whoosh! Long Chen dashed into the mountain. As expected, the person standing there watching him approach was Zhao Wuji, who burst into laughter.
“I knew it was you. Zhao Wuji, I’m here now. Where is Huangfu Qi?” Long Chen suppressed the anger in him and glared at him darkly. He had to guarantee Huangfu Qi’s safety first. If it was not for that, he would have beaten Zhao Wuji up the moment he saw him.
Long Chen’s words made Zhao Wuji laugh even harder. He clutched his belly and looked at him teasingly. “I thought you were smart! How did you become this stupid?”“What do you mean?” Long Chen froze.
“Look around! Huangfu Qi isn’t here! That brat is probably sleeping soundly in her bed right now. She’s the darling of the Clear Shallows King; I would never touch her! Only an idiot like you would fall into this trap! You came here so obediently! Haha!” Zhao Wuji was delighted.
Long Chen’s face darkened.
He thought Zhao Wuji was an idiot, but today, he had been toyed with by this idiot. It felt like he had been played by a donkey, which frustrated him.
But it made sense. Zhao Wuji had always acted on impulse, so it was logical to assume that he had actually kidnapped Huangfu Qi. Long Chen had only fallen into the trap because he cared about her.
To Long Chen, it was better to have been played than the alternative. Since Huangfu Qi was safe, he would not need to hold back.
However, if he did not beat Zhao Wuji up today, he knew the kid would never stop. At this moment, Zhao Wuji was still laughing, while Long Chen clenched his fists.
“Jiang Cheng, since you’re here already, don’t think of being a coward again. Come fight me fair and square. I want you to see who the true newcomer king of the year is!” Zhao Wuji’s smile disappeared and his eyes flashed coldly.
“Haven’t you heard about what I’ve done in the Clear Shallows Pavilion?” Long Chen was puzzled. If Zhao Wuji knew that he had killed Qin Huanyu, he would not do something as stupid as lure Long Chen out for a fight.
“You’re a measly First Passage Stage cultivator! What can you do? Don’t make me laugh,” said Zhao Wuji with a contemptuous sneer.
Long Chen thought for a while. Since Zhao Wuji doesn’t know about it, then the people of the other pavilions don’t know either. I think the Clear Shallows King put the incident on lockdown. Why?
When he thought about the Clear Shallows King’s attitude to himself, after some pondering, he had only one guess. The Clear Shallows King saw him as a dark horse. Her trump card.
Qi Qi said that the other pavilions have Eight Passage Stage disciples, but the Clear Shallows Pavilion doesn’t. Is the Clear Shallows King trying to raise me to be one? This was a good thing for him. This was his time to grow. If he had the Clear Shallows King guiding him, would he ever need to worry about Heavenly Passage Pills?
When Zhao Wuji saw that Long Chen was staring into space, he felt humiliated. The Qi of a Fifth Passage Staged cultivator erupted from him, then he grinned and said, “Jiang Cheng, you don’t know this, but I have reached the Fifth Passage Stage. I want you to see how powerful the Fifth Passage Stage is!”
Long Chen snapped back to reality. He knew that the most urgent matter at hand was to teach Zhao Wuji a brutal lesson! It was time to vent his anger!
Initially, he had planned not to use his Dragon Soul Transformation, because he could easily beat Zhao Wuji without it. However, he wanted Zhao Wuji to see exactly how large the gap between them was, so he quickly activated the Dragon Soul Transformation to reach his strongest form!
“Oh? I’ve got to say that your Beast Soul Transformation is quite strong! It’s just a pity that your cultivation level is too low!” Zhao Wuji chuckled.
“Die! It’ll only take one strike to take your life!” Zhao Wuji let out a roar and charged towards Long Chen. His attack was several times stronger than the last time he used it!
“Martial Peak Finger!”
It was a powerful attack containing all the strength he could muster! The powerful Finger Seal looked like it could put a hole in Long Chen’s chest!
Insanity filled Zhao Wuji’s eyes. He had been waiting for this moment for far too long!
But he was confused. Why was Long Chen not trying to dodge?
When he saw that Long Chen was not moving, he was puzzled, though he quickly reaffirmed his decision to kill him. The moon is not bright and the winds are strong tonight. It’s a good time to kill someone. Right now, Jiang Cheng isn’t seen as an important person in the Ancient Demon Domain, so it will be fine to kill him!
Not only did he not stop his attack, he charged with all his might!
“Haha! Have you gone stupid from fear? Die!” At the last moment, Zhao Wuji let out a furious roar. The Martial Peak Finger was soon going to touch Long Chen’s chest! It was going to pierce through him!
“Is that all you’ve got?” Long Chen suddenly broke into a grin. This was a very bizarre thing to Zhao Wuji.
What happened next stunned Zhao Wuji.
Long Chen gently reached out with both hands and grabbed Zhao Wuji’s arm, stopping the advanced Heaven-tier attack, which should have been strong enough to kill a Sixth Passage Stage cultivator. Zhao Wuji realized that Long Chen was gripping his arm, and he could not break free no matter how hard he tried!
What was happening?
Only a Seventh Passage Stage cultivator could do this, right? To catch a Fifth Passage Stage cultivator’s Martial Peak Finger like that?
Zhao Wuji was stunned and a surge of emotion passed through him. He stared at Long Chen with wide eyes, momentarily forgetting that they were battling.
Long Chen said coldly, “You little brat. You must remember that a measly attack like yours isn’t even enough to scratch an itch on my body …” Then, he quickly lifted his right leg, and the red spine on his knee stabbed into Zhao Wuji’s crotch!
Zhao Wuji arched his back and let out an earth-shattering scream!
The spine on Long Chen’s knee had shattered everything on his crotch, even piercing a hole. He was not going to be a man again, though Long Chen was kind enough to let him be a woman.
He gently pushed Zhao Wuji away, who collapsed.
Zhao Wuji’s face paled as he glared at Long Chen with despair and hatred. What had happened today was a nightmare. Even though he had reached the Fifth Passage Stage, Long Chen was far stronger than he had imagined!
He felt a body-splitting pain in his crotch. He was willing to be injured in any part of his body, except that part! He felt unimaginable despair when he thought about how he would never be a man again.
Rage and hatred completely drowned Zhao Wuji as he rolled on the ground in pain. His blood-red eyes were fixed dead on Long Chen as he growled.
“You were the one who started this. Zhao Wuji, let me tell you this. You will never catch up to me, so just be a good and obedient direct disciple. I am only teaching you a lesson today. Do not annoy me again. You can’t afford to annoy me!”
Then Long Chen left, though first he turned around and said, “Let me give you a suggestion. Go see the Red Ghost King as soon as you can and show him your pitiful state. Maybe he’ll feel merciful and give you some high-level medicine so you can be a man again.”
Men needed to be vicious sometimes.
Long Chen understood that his opponents would only submit to him completely when he was vicious, especially when dealing with ignorant people like Zhao Wuji.
However, Long Chen had underestimated him. He hadn’t been vicious enough, so he was destined for a great ordeal on this night.
When Long Chen turned to leave, he did not see Zhao Wuji’s beast-like glare.
“Jiang Cheng, you forced me to do this!”
