Chapter 1776: Di Xin’s Mother
That hand that appeared in the air was slender with black and white runes revolving around it . Covered in life and death energy, it had silently broken through space to strike Long Chen from behind, but Long Chen’s saber struck it, causing a cut to appear on it .
Evilmoon only just cut through the skin . Before it cut the entire palm in two, a burst of life and death energy suddenly erupted from the palm, blasting Long Chen away .
Long Chen snorted and dragged Di Xin with him . He turned back to look at where the palm had come from .
The space there twisted, revealing the owner of that hand . It was a woman seemingly in her forties wearing grand apparel .
The woman’s face was dark, and killing intent blazed in her eyes . A powerful aura locked onto Long Chen .
“Mom!” That woman was like a final ray of hope to Di Xin .
Long Chen slapped him for shouting as he retreated .
“Long Chen, release my son, or I’ll exterminate your entire family and your entire sect . Anyone even remotely related to you will be buried!” shouted the woman .
She was Di Long’s wife, as well as Di Xin’s mother . Seeing her son being tormented by Long Chen, with even his Dantian crippled, she was completely infuriated .
If it weren’t for the fact that Di Xin was still in Long Chen’s hands, she’d have long since used her full power and destroyed Long Chen .
Di Xin’s mother was a figure that the experts here had only heard of but never personally seen . All they knew was that Di Xin’s mother came from an extremely mysterious power .
However, no one had expected her to be a terrifying Netherpassage expert .
Without a word, Long Chen tore off one of Di Xin’s arms . Di Xin screamed .
“You!” Di Xin’s mother shuddered from rage, her eyes scarlet . Long Chen was ignoring her threat .
“Are you unaware of what kind of child you gave birth to? If your son can harm others, others can harm him . Other than that, I don’t accept other people’s threats, not even if those threats came from the heavens, so save the effort,” said Long Chen .
Di Xin’s life was in his hands . His mother had tried to sneak attack Long Chen to save him, but Long Chen had sensed it, so this threat was useless .
All the experts stared at Long Chen with shock . Unexpectedly, the legends were really true . Long Chen was so tough that he didn’t even place Netherpassage experts in his eyes .
Right in front of Di Xin’s mother and father, two terrifying Netherpassage experts, he continued to torment their son . That was too crazy .
“No wonder there’s the name of the Eastern Madman . No one can compare to this craziness . ”
Even facing Netherpassage experts, Long Chen was still so domineering . People couldn’t help feeling some admiration for him . This didn’t just require bravery but also a corresponding power .
BOOM!
Life and death energy exploded in the void, causing the world to shake . Qu Jianying and Di Long had exchanged blows once more, causing the void to collapse .
“The two of you are both leaders of your alliances . You should take the big picture into consideration . If the two of you were to fight, it wouldn’t be good for the continent . ”
Their fighting had disturbed four elders . They appeared in the air, three men and one woman . They were also Netherpassage experts .
The four of them separated Di Long and Qu Jianying . They had clearly come to mediate things .
After all, if two Netherpassage experts were to fight all-out, it was unknown how many lives would be extinguished in Clearwind City .
“Di Long, you really do think you can bully me . For the big picture, I’ve made concessions to you over and over again, but you continue to press me . Your son set down a trap to kill my two most outstanding disciples . If you don’t give me an explanation, I will immediately issue the Martial Heaven Order to have a match to the death with you! Aren’t you constantly probing my bottom line? Then have a good look at it! When I destroy your ancient family alliance, let’s see if those allies behind you will actually help you!” Qu Jianying was still enraged . The first commander and second commander’s deaths were not so easily brushed off .
Although Qu Jianying appeared tough on the outside, she had a soft spot inside, especially for her disciples . She cared deeply for them .
That was especially true of the first and second commanders . In their youth, they had had nothing to rely on and could only rely on themselves . Qu Jianying had pitied them and accepted them into the Martial Heaven Alliance .
However, their talent had then bloomed . Even Qu Jianying hadn’t expected them to have such accomplishments . As they continued to grow, Qu Jianying had even viewed them as the hope of the Martial Heaven Alliance, viewing them as her own children .
Now that the two of them had died, she felt a heart-wrenching pain, as well as shame . She should never have made concessions to the ancient family alliance, as this was what she had gotten in return .
“Alliance head Qu is just speaking words of anger . If the Martial Heaven Alliance were to go to war against the ancient family alliance, it would only benefit others . Ignoring the Corrupt path for now, the other powers on the continent would be very pleased with such a thing . Wouldn’t you then have fallen for their sinister scheme? Let’s consider the big picture,” said one of the four elders amicably .
What he said was the truth . The Martial Heaven Alliance’s power far surpassed the ancient family alliance, but if they were to fight to the death, they would take heavy losses .
With both of them weakened, ignoring what the Corrupt path would do, just Pill Valley, the ancient races, and the Xuan Beasts would start to devour their territory . This kind of war did not benefit the Martial Heaven Alliance, the ancient family alliance, or the continent .
“The big picture? Because of the big picture, I’ve been made a fool, my own disciples dying miserable deaths . You think I give a damn about your big picture?” raged Qu Jianying .
Di Long’s expression was also extremely ugly . He had completely infuriated Qu Jianying now, and that wasn’t what he wanted .
He had not expected for Qu Jianying’s two strongest commanders to die here . He was also stifling his rage .
“This trap isn’t targeted toward the Martial Heaven Alliance . Furthermore, I’m aware of my son’s intelligence . He couldn’t have come up with such a meticulous trap,” said Di Long darkly .
He understood his immature and arrogant son far too well . His intelligence was not high enough to come up with such a trap .
Di Long was not a fool, and he had also investigated the soul of one of Di Xin’s followers while fighting . He had seen what had happened and smelled the scent of a trap .
Although saying this made it sound like his son was an idiot who had been used, there was no other way to resolve this . Qu Jianying was enraged . If the Martial Heaven Alliance were to go to war with the ancient family alliance, that would be huge .
This trap made Di Long feel a sense of unease . He had been schemed against by others . No one had told him that this would happen .
That was what made him uneasy, that no one had told him about this . It was just as Qu Jianying said: if their two alliances were to go to war, would those so-called allies of his really help him, or would they just stand to the side and reap the benefits?
“Everyone, let’s not randomly guess . This is no scheme or trap . Mister Di Xin invited me to Clearwind City, saying that Long Chen had gone there . Considering my enmity with him, I decided to come to challenge him . But as soon as I saw mister Di Xin, I also saw Di Ruyun say a few flirtatious words to that woman . Unexpectedly, she immediately became hostile and challenged Di Ruyun to a deathmatch . She couldn’t even handle a few jokes and then killed herself . As a result, her big brother tried to take vengeance for her, but he was a joke . The human race is so laughable and weak . Unable to defeat Di Ruyun, the big brother committed suicide as well . The human race really is skilled in this . ” Xiang Yunfei, who hadn’t spoken this entire time, suddenly opened his mouth .
This explanation made everyone present think that this might be a coincidence because no trap could be so perfect .
However, Qu Jianying and Di Long did not think like that . They both smelled something that they didn’t like . They already had suspicions about the person who had planned this . To make a trap so perfect, perhaps the only possibility was Heavenly Fate Island .
“Long Chen, you came for me, so if you have any guts, you’ll release Di Xin and have a real fight against me . ” Xiang Yunfei pointed the bone spear in his hand at Long Chen .
After having Long Chen ignore him multiple times, Xiang Yunfei was humiliated . Even a normal person wouldn’t be able to endure such a thing, let alone an expert of his level . If he didn’t find a way to beat Long Chen, he would become a laughingstock .
Long Chen ignored Xiang Yunfei . He was looking at the sky . It was unknown what he was thinking .
“Long Chen, release my son! If you release him, I can let this matter go . Otherwise…” Di Xin’s mother shouted angrily upon seeing Long Chen not reply .
“Ahh!”
Before she was even done speaking, Di Xin’s other arm separated from his body . It was torn off by Long Chen .
“You still have three chances left to threaten me,” said Long Chen indifferently .
Three chances? Everyone quickly understood . Long Chen was talking about Di Xin’s two legs and his head . His ruthlessness gave them chills .
“You…!” Di Xin’s mother trembled with rage . She was less than three hundred meters from Long Chen, but she didn’t dare to attack . She didn’t have a life and death domain as powerful as Di Long, and couldn’t make it so that he couldn’t move .
If she tried to attack, Long Chen would definitely be able to kill Di Xin . She was caught between a rock and a hard place . She clenched her teeth, looking like she wanted to bite Long Chen to death .
“Xiang Yunfei, your enmity with Long Chen can be resolved later . Let’s deal with the important things first . Everyone, you have your own heads, so don’t fall for other people’s traps,” advised the old woman .
“That’s right, this matter is clear . As for the one behind the scenes controlling things, I’m sure everyone already has their own thoughts as to who that is . If you allow this conflict to grow, you’ll have really fallen for this trap . These children are innocent and are merely being used . There’s no need to meaninglessly increase the number of sacrifices,” advised another elder . His status was not low, and amongst these four Netherpassage experts, he was the leader . Furthermore, his words were very reasonable .
Qu Jianying didn’t reply . Instead, she looked at Long Chen . Following that, everyone’s gazes concentrated on him .
