This strike was like a giant pestle splitting the heavens, powerful and heavy. Before the staff even arrived, the howling wind had already struck the skin of the Xiaoyao Alliance disciples beside Long Chen, making their skin ache as if cut by knives.
Facing Yuan Xinghui's staff, Long Chen didn't even glance at him. His eyes were fixed on Tang Yaochen, and he said calmly, "
You ambushed me with a move..."
"Smack."
Just then, Yuan Xinghui's staff struck Long Chen's face, and Long Chen extended his large hand, With just one hand, Long Chen grabbed Yuan Xinghui's bronze staff, and the long staff was in his hand.
"What?"
For a moment, both the strong players inside and outside the arena were shocked. Everyone saw just how terrifying Yuan Xinghui's power was.
At this moment, Long Chen grabbed the staff with all his might, casually grabbing it as he spoke, just like grabbing a toy in a mischievous child's hand.
Yuan Xinghui was both shocked and furious. The force of his staff vanished like a clay ox sinking into the sea, vanishing without a trace. He struggled to snatch it back, but the bronze staff seemed to have taken root in Long Chen's hand, unmoving at all.
Veins bulged on Yuan Xinghui's arm, his body swayed back and forth, pushing, pulling—using every kind of force, but the stick wouldn't budge an inch. Long Chen's face was calm, while Long Chen's face was purple from holding it in.
The strong figures outside the arena were overjoyed at the sight; the power Long Chen displayed was truly inspiring.
"How foolish,"
Luo Bing said, watching Yuan Xinghui fight back with all his might. He clearly couldn't get it back, yet he let go early, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Long Chen gripped one end of his long staff, ignoring Yuan Xinghui's struggles, and continued to Tang Yaochen:
"What you're doing really annoys me. Besides, it was you who trapped and killed my Bloodthirsty Mammoth with your formation. You're forcing me."
I'm not someone who likes killing, but you all seem eager to see me kill. Fine, today I'll show you Master Long's true methods..."
Suddenly, Long Chen moved. With a flick of his long stick wrist, Yuan Xinghui's towering figure was lifted into the air, and with just his wrist strength, he sent someone flying. That terrifying power made everyone's hearts tremble.
"Not human power."
Watching Long Chen's actions, the head of the Discipline Institute muttered to himself.
Yuan Xinghui was lifted into the air, and Long Chen's staff swept across. The immense force made the void roar, and the bronze staff actually bent up.
"No..."
Yuan Xinghui was suspended in midair, unable to dodge. He watched as a staff smashed toward his waist, letting out a desperate howl.
"Pfft!"
The long stick struck Yuan Xinghui with a loud bang. Yuan Xinghui was smashed into a mist of blood, blown apart, and the once arrogant Yuan Xinghui was instantly wiped out.
For a moment, the arena and the arena fell silent. Long Chen's long staff hovered in midair, still swinging. In front of the staff, a mist of blood slowly spread, a scene that was terrifying.
Long Chen's expression remained calm, his eyes completely devoid of emotion, as if nothing had happened—a calmness that was terrifying.
"Originally, I was going to kill Tang Yaochen first, but since you're in such a hurry, I'll just send you there first." Long Chen looked at the blood mist in the void, slowly put down his long staff, turned to Tang Yaochen, and said apologetically, "
Sorry, someone cut in line. You probably don't mind, right?"
Tang Yaochen was stared at by Long Chen's gaze, and a strong aura of death enveloped him, making him shudder all over.
However, behind dozens of powerful figures like Chu Kuang, Li Chengbei, and Xiang Kejie, he still felt relatively safe and sneered, "
Why pretend to be a big garlic clove? You're just a trash who ascended from the next realm. You got today's achievements by luck and now you can't find your way?" You want to kill me? Come on, if you can't kill me, you're the grandson of the whole world. Long
Chen looked at Tang Yaochen, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "I'm not a formation cultivator, but I once had a brother who was a formation cultivator, so I know a bit about formations."
These pelts are usually useless, but when used to kill you, they should ...."
"Whoosh."
Suddenly, Long Chen vanished. While everyone was still shocked, Long Chen appeared before Tang Yaochen like a ghost, one hand already grabbing Tang Yaochen's neck.
"... That's enough. After finishing his last sentence, Tang Yaochen's life was already in Long Chen's hands.
"Whoosh!"
The powerful figures around Tang Yaochen were startled. Long Chen had suddenly appeared right beside them. They were about to attack, but in an instant, Long Chen vanished and returned to his original spot. However, Tang Yaochen had already been taken away by him.
Advancing and retreating like ghosts, by the time Chu Kuang and the others reacted, Long Chen had already finished all his movements.
Not only were Chu Kuang and the others confused, even the disciples watching outside were stunned. They felt as if their vision blurred, and Tang Yaochen had been captured by Long Chen, unable to see how Long Chen had managed to do it.
Tang Yaochen was grabbed by Long Chen's neck, like a dead dog, suspended in midair. His eyes were filled with fear. He tried to struggle, but couldn't move.
"I want to kill you, so I came. I, Long Chen, have spoken nonsense and foolish things in my life, but never empty words."
Long Chen held Tang Yaochen's hand, looked into his fearful eyes, and said calmly, "The first time you teleported me out, I knew you'd repeat your trick. When you activated the second teleportation, I absorbed a bit of teleportation power."
Although I only know a bit about formations, I can still barely manage short-distance teleportation back and forth from fixed points. "
When Long Chen was on the Tianwu Continent, he had studied formations, but formations were too profound. Even with all his effort, he could only grasp some theoretical things. He studied these things because he feared that if Xia Chen wasn't around, he would suffer a major loss."
Long Chen discovered that the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique had a peculiar ability: no matter what kind of power it was, it could absorb part of it.
Long Chen himself wasn't very skilled at using it and didn't have time to study it in detail, but after fully unleashing Tang Yaochen's teleportation power today, Long Chen absorbed a trace of it.
He hadn't acted immediately earlier, because he was following Xia Chen's method to calculate spatial orientation, distance, and nodes, converting energy into energy.
Fortunately, the distance between them was only a few dozen zhang. If it were too far, Long Chen wouldn't have absorbed enough power, and with his computational abilities, he couldn't teleport precisely.
But at such close range, Long Chen succeeded on the first try. Tang Yaochen was caught by Long Chen, his body suddenly trembled, and then people saw his pants were wet.
Tang Yaochen was so scared he wet himself. This renowned genius from the Formation Academy was so disgraceful that countless people looked down on him with contempt.
"I ...!" Tang Yaochen suddenly stiffened his neck and shouted loudly.
But just as he shouted a single word, Long Chen's large hand suddenly squeezed hard, and with a crack, Tang Yaochen's head was forcibly twisted off.
