Feeling the terrifying power, Luo Bing and Luo Ning were so shocked that they quickly stopped their actions and retreated at the same time.
"What is so powerful?"
Long Chen looked at the shiny black object in his hand, a look of shock appearing on his face.
"This is the Gui Water Divine Thunder, compressed into a thunder pearl by the mysterious water of ten thousand miles. Once it erupts... You ... "You ..." Senior Brother Yu from Qinghe Palace sneered as he explained, suddenly discovering that Long Chen also had a Gui Water Divine Thunder in his hand, which was exactly the same as his own.
He couldn't help but look at the Gui Water Divine Thunder in his hand, shocked to find it empty. At some point, the thunder had ended up in Long Chen's hands.
"Gui Water Divine Thunder?" I've only seen it in books, but never expected to see it in person.
This thing is powerful. The mysterious water itself is extremely heavy, compressed into a pearl for thousands of miles. If it explodes, everyone here will be wiped out.
Kid, this thing is too dangerous. It's not suitable for kids like you. I'm confiscating it. By the way, do you have any left? Long Chen didn't hold back at all, putting away the divine thunder with a sanctimonious air, and asked casually.
The Senior Brother Yu from Qinghe Palace was completely blank. He felt like he was going crazy. This guy in black was practically not human, but a devil. He instinctively replied,
"No, that's all."
"That's it?" Well, chop him down. Long Chen waved to Luo Bing and Luo Ning, signaling that they could continue.
Luo Bing and Luo Ning looked at Senior Brother Yu from Qinghe Palace, stunned, as if stunned, almost bursting out laughing.
Even they didn't know how Long Chen had stolen the Gui Shui Divine Thunder, but that didn't matter. To outsmart the arrogant Qinghe Palace experts like fools—probably only Long Chen could pull that off in the entire Lingxiao Academy.
It turned out that Long Chen had been watching every move of Senior Brother Yu from Qinghe Palace. After all, he was not someone who gambled with his life. The moment he took out the Gui Water Divine Thunder, Long Chen sensed something.
The reason the Gui Water Divine Thunder is called Divine Thunder is because it contains a thunder rune inside, used to detonate the pearl.
Long Chen was a master of thunder power and could easily lure it here. As for Senior Brother Yu from Qinghe Palace, he wasn't truly curious about death; he had brought out the divine thunder just to scare people. He didn't dare hold tightly, fearing it might accidentally detonate.
So he loosened his grip. With a single pull from Long Chen, the divine thunder landed in his hand, and he pocketed it.
"Clang, clang... Luo
Bing and Luo Ning immediately sprang into action. As a result, Senior Brother Yu from Qinghe Palace was already in turmoil. After only a few blows, Luo Ning severed an arm with a single sword strike.
"Tell me, why do you want to wipe out our Lingxiao Academy so thoroughly? Answer truthfully, and I can spare your life." Long Chen said calmly to Senior Brother Yu from Qinghe Palace.
Hearing Long Chen's question, Luo Bing had originally been able to kill him with a single sword strike, but deliberately slowed his grip, allowing him to narrowly avoid the strike.
"Are you serious?" Senior Brother Yu from Qinghe Palace asked in a trembling voice.
"Whether it's true or false doesn't matter to you, because you have no choice. If you don't believe me, then take the secret and go to hell. At worst, I'll just ask someone else." Long Chen shrugged and said.
"Alright... I said, I said... We have received orders from the Palace Master to kill all disciples of Lingxiao Academy, especially Bai Shishi. We must kill her here.
Moreover, our five major powers' primary mission this time is not treasure hunting, but to kill the people from your Lingxiao Academy. "Under the attacks of Luo Bing and Luo Ning, Senior Brother Yu from Qinghe Palace shouted loudly.
Luo Bing and Luo Ning's attacks never stopped. With both of them fending off, he simply couldn't distract himself from lying.
"Why did your five major powers suddenly target our Lingxiao Academy?" Long Chen asked. Every time the Jialin Immortal Land opened, although they always bullied Lingxiao Academy, they never dared to do it so openly. There must be a reason behind this.
"I don't know about that. We're just following orders. You have to keep your word." Senior Brother Yu from Qinghe Palace said nervously.
He didn't know the real reason. Long Chen frowned. Since he didn't know, the others probably wouldn't either. This might involve some power struggles between sects.
However, Master Yunyang's hint before leaving seemed to have foreseen this would happen, which is why he gave Long Chen such great power—even handing over Chu Huairen to him for execution.
But whether he knew or not no longer mattered. He only needed to confirm the attitude of the five major powers and be able to grasp the academy's intentions.
Since the five major powers wanted to wipe them out here, he had no need to worry about anything. Since the academy had given him power, he decided to play big.
"I, Long Chen, keep my word. I'll spare your life." Long Chen waved his hand, speaking somewhat impatiently.
Luo Bing and Luo Ning both withdrew their attacks, and Senior Brother Yu from Qinghe Palace was instantly overjoyed. Just as he was about to thank him, Luo Ning suddenly slashed down with her sword.
"Pfft"
Senior Brother Yu from Qinghe Palace was caught off guard and severed by a single sword strike.
"He spared your life, but I never said I would spare you." Luo Ning sheathed her sword, a cold smile on her face.
Senior Brother Yu from Qinghe Palace had his eyes wide open, filled with unwillingness and anger—he truly could die with his eyes wide open.
Long Chen and Luo Ning exchanged a smile. For the first time, they developed a tacit understanding, and of course, Long Chen wouldn't really let him go.
"While the Soul Star isn't extinguished, should we try soul-searching?" Luo Ning pointed at the head of Senior Brother Yu from Qinghe Palace.
After advancing to the Divine Fire Realm, even if the head is severed, the soul does not die immediately; the soul enters a state of suspended animation. If someone rescues within ten hours, the soul can still be preserved.
Before Long Chen could speak, Luo Bing shook his head: "People like him definitely have a soul restriction. They won't let anyone peek into their secrets. If there is a backlash curse within his soul, that would be troublesome. Taking such a big risk isn't worth it." Some
prodigies of important status, because they know too many secrets, often have restrictions within their souls to protect their secrets and prevent their sect techniques from leaking out.
Normally, during soul searches, those who trigger the restriction die instantly, and some heads explode, forming soul shockwaves that injure the soul searcher.
Some factions are even more domineering. If they encounter beast souls, they use the soul power of the soul-searching person to form vicious curses, causing confusion and even being controlled remotely—truly terrifying.
Unless you're a powerful soul cultivator and absolutely confident, souls aren't searched for randomly—they could be deadly.
Senior Brother Yu from Qinghe Palace was killed, and the battle between the Luo Gate and Xiaoyao Alliance disciples was over. All the disciples of Qinghe Palace were wiped out. Only a dozen or so were seriously injured and needed to recover, with no one killed. It could be said to be a complete victory.
"Clean up the battlefield, pause the treasure search, gather all the academy disciples, we need to change tactics and get ready for a big move."
A bloodthirsty light flashed in Long Chen's eyes as he was targeted by the five major forces. The warlike blood within him slowly began to heat up again, and his most primal desire to kill was slowly reviving.
