Long Chen slapped Hong Yaoyang hard across the face. Hong Yaoyang's face was only slightly crooked, while Long Chen's hand was in intense pain, as if pricked by needles.
Ming Cangyue and Leng Yueyan were both shocked. Long Chen had acted so quickly, so fast that even they didn't react in time—the slaps had already been slapped.
"Courting death!"
Hong Yaoyang was slapped, and by a mortal. In that instant, he seemed to go mad, black energy surging all over his body, boundless power erupting, trying to break free from Leng Yueyan's grip. That gaze seemed ready to tear Long Chen apart.
"Smack smack smack..."
Seeing Hong Yaoyang unable to break free and baring his teeth and claws, Long Chen's anger flared instantly. With a wave of his hand, he slapped him thirty-six times.
Long Chen wasn't great at other things, but when it came to slapping skills, he claimed second place—no one dared claim first. That big slap was as if it cost nothing.
After a fierce beating, the other six saw Hong Yaoyang getting beaten and immediately roared angrily, ready to rush forward.
But Leng Yueyan, with a wave of her jade-like hand, Countless light curtains appeared, forming nets of order that knocked those people away.
"You dare act so brazenly in front of my temple? Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?" Leng Yueyan sneered.
"Whoosh!"
The void trembled, and on the throne, streaks of divine light appeared, forming nine seven-colored longswords with their tips aimed at Hong Yaoyang.
When Hong Yaoyang saw the nine long swords, his expression changed, and he shouted sternly, "We are both Underworld Gods. I don't believe you dare kill me." The
seven-colored longsword trembled, a chilling killing intent spreading through the air. The six people brought by Hong Yaoyang dared not utter a sound. Facing the terrifying seven-colored sword, their eyes were filled with fear.
"I really don't dare kill you, but leaving you half dead is still possible."
Leng Yueyan sneered, and as she spoke, the Nether God Token in her hand trembled, and the chains binding Hong Yaoyang slowly dissipated.
Hong Yaoyang looked at Long Chen, who was just within arm's reach, but didn't dare to touch him, because he had already been locked onto by those seven divine swords. If he made a move, the trigger would pull him down, and he would be struck before he could even strike.
"Good, very good, very good."
Hong Yaoyang's eyes swept over Long Chen, Ming Cangyue, and Leng Yueyan. Veins bulged on his forehead as he gritted his teeth and said,
"Just wait, there will come a day you will regret it, especially you, a mortal. I will make you regret coming into this world."
Hong Yaoyang pointed at Long Chen, clearly showing that his hatred for Long Chen was beyond words.
"Didn't your parents ever teach you to point at others with your finger? Is that really rude?
Why put a big clove of garlic? Let me put it this way: if you were born in the same era and world as me, an idiot like you, I'd beat you eight times a day, and you'd shiver just seeing me. Long Chen curled his lips and said.
Long Chen knew that both Ming Cangyue and this guy before him had lived for countless years.
Long Chen couldn't beat him now, but he didn't feel inferior. If the two were of the same age and realm, Long Chen could suppress him with one hand.
"Very good, arrogant enough. Just wait!" A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Hong Yaoyang's mouth. He snorted coldly and left with those six people.
Watching Hong Yaoyang and the others leave, a strange expression appeared on Long Chen's face as he said, "
Who is this idiot?" How did they live to be this big? Is your god's life really this easy? If this were on the Tianwu Continent, if we didn't beat him to a pulp, I'd say his steel door was sturdy. "
Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue both laughed. Leng Yueyan said, "This person really has something wrong with his head, almost like an idiot."
That's right, he has an excellent background, so even without brains, no one can do anything to him. "
Long Chen, it's about time. You should return to the Tongming Path. Come over and let me give you a kiss." Leng Yueyan smiled radiantly and beckoned to Long Chen with her finger.
Long Chen looked at Leng Yueyan warily and said, "You're not trying to trick me, are you?" "
What's wrong?" Are you still afraid she'll get jealous? Leng Yueyan said meaningfully.
Long Chen glanced at Ming Cangyue, who smiled in return. Only then did Long Chen walk toward Leng Yueyan.
As Long Chen approached Leng Yueyan, the smile on her face suddenly vanished. She shouted coldly, "
Long Chen, how dare you be unfaithful to me? This is your punishment."
"Bang!"
Leng Yueyan suddenly slapped Long Chen on the chest with her palm. Long Chen felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if a branding iron had struck it hard.
"Damn it, isn't this your ...?" Long Chen cursed loudly.
"Whoosh."
But before Long Chen could finish cursing, the void trembled, and behind him, a portal appeared, swallowing Long Chen. Long Chen's voice abruptly stopped, and the Hall of the Nether God returned to calm. The empty hall was left with only Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue.
After watching Long Chen disappear, after a long while, Ming Cangyue finally sighed and said, "You're really smart, actually knowing to help him in such a way." "
Leng Yueyan smiled slightly and said, "What, Long Chen left? Are you feeling a bit reluctant to leave?" Ming
Cangyue was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded and looked at Leng Yueyan, saying,
"Thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Leng Yueyan said with a smile.
Ming Cangyue smiled faintly: "Thank you for helping me understand what love is. By breaking through a few points, my heart suddenly became clear." "
So you decided to start taking revenge?" Otherwise, you wouldn't have shown up with Long Chen and completely enraged Hong Yaoyang. Leng Yueyan said.
"Isn't this a bit despicable? Dragging Long Chen into this karmic bond as well? Ming Cangyue was silent for a moment.
Leng Yueyan smiled faintly, sat on the throne, and stretched lazily as she said,
"You're wrong. Let me put it this way: during the days we have been fighting, I've finally come to understand a truth."
"What kind of logic is that?"
Leng Yueyan sat up straight, her face serious as she said, "In fact, from my encounter with Long Chen, to obtaining the evil dragon's essence, and finally fighting you on the Tianwu Continent, on the surface, it seems Long Chen is tainted by my karma."
But later, after thinking carefully, I realized something was wrong. I had fallen into his karmic bonds, and now, even you have fallen in.
Long Chen's identity was extremely mysterious; he had never told anyone, and his cultivation technique was tied to even greater karma.
So, there's no need to feel guilty. Long Chen taught me that dying together with someone you love is also a kind of happiness.
Our fate is already tied to him. Since we are already caught in endless karma, there's no need to think too much. Let's join forces to avenge our family. "
"You... "You actually know... Ming Cangyue was shocked, looking at Leng Yueyan in disbelief.
"Long Chen is my man. When you willingly let him be your man, the soul you sealed will be watched by me, and all your secrets will be revealed to me.
Cang Yue, now that we have a man together, our souls will connect again. Our divine power, wisdom, and divine sense will be built as a bridge because of Long Chen.
Now, you are me, and I am you. We should work together to achieve our goals. Leng Yueyan walked up to Ming Cangyue and said.
Ming Cangyue looked at Leng Yueyan, a relieved smile gradually appearing on her face:
"It feels great to have someone to share the burden. Having you help me boosts my confidence."
"It's not just me helping you, but Long Chen too." Leng Yueyan said with a smile.
"Him?" Ming Cangyue asked in confusion.
"Don't underestimate Long Chen. The Defiant of Heaven from the Tianwu Continent is a Defiant born at the core of the Star Domain.
A few years might be a blink of an eye for us, but for Long Chen, it was enough to bring about an astonishing transformation.
So, for the road ahead, you not only need to count us, but also Long Chen. Leng Yueyan said meaningfully.
...
"Whoosh"
Long Chen fell from the void onto the earth like a meteor, smashing a huge crater into the earth.
At the same time, Long Chen heard a familiar scream. He was thrown into a daze, feeling as if stars were spinning in his head, unable to tell east from west.
Long Chen gritted his teeth in anger. This Leng Yueyan was ruthless. She was the one who sent Long Chen to seduce Ming Cangyue, so why did she suddenly turn her back on him?
"Long Chen."
Just then, a familiar voice rang out. Long Chen saw Meng Qi's delighted face, and also saw Chu Yao, Tang Wan'er, Ye Zhiqiu, Guo Ran, and others.
"Boss, where have you been? We were worried about you to death. Guo Ran said excitedly when he saw Long Chen.
They followed Long Chen into the Gate of Hell, but after entering, they found Long Chen had disappeared and couldn't be found.
This made everyone extremely anxious, but once they entered the Gates of Hell, there was no turning back—only a straight path ahead, and with every step forward, the space behind them would freeze and there was no turning back.
Everyone guessed that Long Chen might be scouting ahead, but thinking about it, that seemed unlikely. Given his calmness, he shouldn't act alone. Even if he did, he would have greeted everyone.
But as time passed, more and more beings entered the brink of death. They could no longer wait and could only follow along, searching for Long Chen as they went.
"Dead head, where did you run off to? You made us worry ourselves to death." Tang Wan'er's eyes were red, and she spoke with a choked voice.
Tang Wan'er was cold on the outside but warm inside, strong on the outside, but actually the most fragile inside. Unable to see Long Chen, she was the most worried and overthinking among everyone. Seeing Long Chen now, she almost cried out of grievance.
"I don't even know where I went. I was sucked into a grand hall, and inside the hall, there were two monsters. I fought them for a long time and finally subdued them, then escaped through the main gate." Long Chen spouted nonsense with a straight face, and only managed to pull him out of the ground under the help of Mengqi and the others.
...
"Pah!"
The two members of the Nether God Hall saw this scene and spat lightly at the same time. Long Chen actually called them monsters and even said they were subdued.
"See that? Do you still feel sorry for him now? I said, if this man doesn't fight for three days, the house will be torn apart. If you spoil him, he'll definitely rise to heaven. Leng Yueyan snorted coldly, while Ming Cangyue just smiled silently to the side.
...
The earth was paved with massive boulders, and Long Chen descended from the sky, smashing a huge pit into a rock hundreds of zhang in diameter, creating a terrifying sight.
Countless beings around saw this scene and were so frightened that they hid far away, staring at Long Chen in shock.
"Hey, Long Chen, what's that on your chest?" Chu Yao suddenly looked at Long Chen's chest and said.
