Chapter 1060: 1060
With a heaven-shaking explosion, terrifying flames exploded . Space was constantly quivering as countless flames runes dashed back and forth in the air . It was like the sun had exploded . That apocalyptic scene stunned everyone .
Fortunately, the two flame beasts were fighting in the air, and the impact to those on the ground wasn’t very powerful . If they had been fighting on the ground, it was unknown how many people would have died from that explosion .
“What… what’s going on?!” Que Xinyan let out a heart-rending roar and vomited a mouthful of blood .
The Scarlet Blood Flame was his spirit beast . It was connected to him, and when it exploded, he received a powerful backlash . He felt like his soul was being torn .
Que Xinyan had treated this powerful Earth Flame very importantly . He had sacrificed a great deal of Spiritual Strength and effort to place a slave mark on it . But now it had suddenly exploded .
Within the countless flame runes in the air, three huge flame dragons suddenly appeared, devouring the blood-colored flame runes . Those were the Scarlet Blood Flame’s essence .
“Long Chen, I’ll kill you!” Que Xinyan’s eyes almost tore out of their sockets, and he clenched his teeth so hard they creaked . Although he didn’t know what had happened, he knew he had been schemed against by Long Chen .
The three flame dragons devoured all the flame runes in the air in just the blink of an eye .
Suddenly, everyone’s bracelets quivered and they disappeared from the battlefield . When they reappeared, they were once more in the Xuantian Dao Sect’s plaza .
“Long Chen, hand over your life!!!”
Que Xinyan charged at Long Chen like a madman . As a result, he was sent flying by a slap in the face .
While Que Xinyan was in the air, Long Chen suddenly grabbed his hair and shoved his face down toward his knee .
BANG!
Long Chen repeatedly smashed his knee into Que Xinyan’s nose . Suddenly, with a ripping sound, Que Xinyan shot back, a huge piece of his scalp staying in Long Chen’s hand .
“Heavens, isn’t this exactly what happened last time?” All the disciples looked at the miserable Que Xinyan, speechless .
They clearly remembered how two months ago, in this very plaza, Long Chen had slapped Que Xinyan, slammed his head into his knee a few times, and then tore off a large piece of his scalp . Que Xinyan had been partially bald for half a month .
Medicinal energy had helped him regrow his hair . It was a foot long . But now it was like he had intentionally grown it out to let Long Chen grab it again .
Now the same shocking scene played out in front of them again
“Long Chen, I will definitely kill you!” roared Que Xinyan, his eyes scarlet . He looked as if he had gone insane .
“If you want to fight, let’s fight . What are you shouting so loudly for? Don’t be so petty . It’s just one Earth Flame, an insignificant three million points . To the rich and generous Law Enforcement Hall, it’s a drop in the ocean . Cool down, and don’t worry . I guarantee the Law Enforcement Hall will get you another Earth Flame . You’re the partner they bought, and they invested so much in you . They didn’t feel any pain over how much they invested, so why do you have to feel pain?” Long Chen gave Que Xinyan some well-meaning advice .
In reality, Long Chen had been planning this move for a long time . Back when he had encountered Que Xinyan In Treasure Gem Island, he had sensed a powerful Earth Flame in his body . He just hadn’t known what it was exactly .
While he had been resting, he had pondered how to con Que Xinyan once more . He had thought of a kind of True Ice Ancient Pill .
That was an attack pill, not to be consumed . It could be considered a defensive pill for alchemists and had the effect of exploding ice .
This kind of pill was part of a very neglected branch of alchemy . It didn’t have many uses . Although it was a seventh tier medicinal pill, its power wasn’t enough to menace Sea Expansion experts . At best, it would be able to kill Xiantian experts, and that would be in a situation where they were caught off-guard .
That kind of pill was absolutely useless . Those who could refine seventh tier medicinal pills were at least at Sea Expansion . Only people whose heads had turned to mush would bitterly refine the True Ice Ancient Pill to kill Xiantian rookies .
But in Long Chen’s hands, this pill managed to instantly handle Que Xinyan’s terrifying Earth Flame .
The flame dragon that had flown out and fought during this time was nothing more than one of Huo Long’s split bodies . It was bait for Que Xinyan . If Que Xinyan hadn’t attacked, Long Chen really wouldn’t have had any way to handle him .
But an idiot like Que Xinyan was easy to bait .
Long Chen had first sealed the True Ice Ancient Pill in some special material and hid it within Huo Long’s split body’s mouth . Before Huo Long bit through its outer layer, it wouldn’t explode .
When the split body had been attacked by Que Xinyan’s Earth Flame, Long Chen had had the flame dragon act as if it was struggling before being devoured . Once it was inside the Earth Flame’s stomach, it activated the pill . As a result, both the split body and the flame tiger exploded .
Both Huo Long and the flame tiger were formed of the purest flames . Although they might not be afraid of ice attacking them from the outside, if such powerful ice exploded inside their bodies, it would be like pouring a bowl of water into boiling oil . And then… there was no then .
Huo Long had only lost one of its split bodies, and it would quickly be able to condense a new one . There was basically no damage .
A split body for a stronger Earth Flame’s essence . That was tens of thousand times the return . Long Chen felt like flowers were about to bloom in his heart . He had essentially obtained three million points, and he felt incredibly refreshed .
In fact, he had a thought that he definitely shouldn’t kill Que Xinyan yet . He was the chicken that laid the golden egg .
After devouring so much Earth Flame essence, Huo Long was doing its best to keep it all within the primal chaos space . It felt like it was about to explode from how full it was . Long Chen hastily helped with some Spiritual Strength to suppress the berserk energy .
“Bastard, if I don’t avenge this enmity, I, Que Xinyan, will swear I’m not human!” roared Que Xinyan, clenching his fists .
“You’re just a dog of the Law Enforcement Hall who knows how to speak human words . Let me just say it again, if you want to fight, let’s fight . Last time, I was the one who challenged you to a life and death battle . This time, if you really have any guts, you can challenge me as well . I, Long Chen, will definitely accept,” said Long Chen .
The hostility in the air was like gunpowder . How could Que Xinyan dare to challenge Long Chen now? He had no Earth Flame and was like a toothless tiger . Challenging Long Chen would be simply courting death .
“Long Chen, don’t go too far . How about I appraise how strong you are?” At this time, Fan Song walked over . His tower-like body released such powerful Blood Qi that it felt like he would explode .
Everyone’s heart shook . Fan Song was a vicious person, tyrannical and powerful . No one dared to go against him .
Fan Song was different from Que Xinyan . He was a brute force fighter with basically no weaknesses . There wouldn’t be the slightest bit of technique in a fight against him .
“If it’s a life and death battle, I will welcome you at any time . If it’s a game for children, I don’t have time for such nonsense . Those familiar with me know that my specialty isn’t fighting . It’s killing . ” Long Chen stared coldly at Fan Song .
Fan Song was very powerful, most likely even stronger than Que Xinyan . But Long Chen felt no fear toward him . He just didn’t like senseless battles .
Since they had chosen to be enemies with him, then they shouldn’t blame him for being vicious . Long Chen had already made his determination . If Fan Song challenged him to a life and death battle, he would definitely go all-out to kill him . It just so happened that he needed a rank five Heavenly Dao Fruit .
Just as Long Chen had an urge to kill Fan Song, Fan Song narrowed his eyes . He sensed Long Chen’s desire to kill him . Snorting, he raised his status badge and was just about to drip blood onto it .
“Everyone, it’s time to announce the results of the first competition . ”
Li Changfeng suddenly appeared in the plaza, making it so Fan Song could only put away his badge . He glared at Long Chen before returning to his faction .
Everyone returned to their factions and stood properly, staring at Li Changfeng . They all wanted to know the results . Just who had taken first place?
“First place is the Divine Beast Mansion at 29,370,000 kill points . Second place is the Hegemon Hall at 25,260,000 kill points . Third place is the Heaven Female Alliance at 22,000,000 kill points . Fourth place is the Flame Gate at 16,070,000 kill points . Fifth place is the Ten Thousand Insect Guild at 15,990,000 kill points . ”
Hearing that last number, the Ten Thousand Insect Guild’s disciples couldn’t help but feel that it was regretful . They had just been eighty thousand points from moving up a ranking . Then they would have gotten double the rewards .
“Last place is the Dragonblood Legion at… 15,980,000 kill points,” said Li Changfeng . Everyone let out a cold gasp .
Although the Dragonblood Legion had taken last place, no one dared to look down on them . It had to be known that they had spent the first four hours drilling their formations . Only then had they truly gone out to get kill points .
And in that short time, they almost caught up to the Ten Thousand Insect Guild . That was too shocking . And this was a group of the weakest disciples that was known as the weakest faction?
“My Ten Thousand Insect Guild owes you a favor . ”
What no one expected was that the always silent Wang Zhen would actually open his mouth to express his gratitude .
At first, people were dumbfounded . But they quickly understood his meaning . From the start of the competition to the end, Long Chen hadn’t done anything . As for how he had conned Que Xinyan, that didn’t count, because that wasn’t worth any kill points . So it was equivalent to Long Chen giving the reward to the Ten Thousand Insect Guild .
“Don’t be so courteous . For this competition, we were just testing the waters . We didn’t obtain any less than you, so there’s no need for favors . ” Long Chen shook his head .
Wang Zhen nodded . “If you need anything, send me a message . ”
That startled everyone . It seemed that Wang Zhen was essentially forming an alliance with Long Chen . This was too sudden .
Even Long Chen was stunned . He hadn’t expected the usually silent Wang Zhen would say such a thing . He smiled to express his acceptance .
“Alright, everyone can scatter . The rewards will be distributed later,” said Li Changfeng before disappearing from everyone’s sights .
