They're actually launching a life-or-death battle?
In an instant, countless people erupted in excitement. You have to know, the people here are endlessly prodigious, with countless clashes and endless battles.
But there was no real life-and-death battle, because all the major powers had strong fighters protecting them. They ignored the disciples' minor scuffles, but if someone really died, these old fellows would step in.
Although the prodigies all have tempers and are extremely arrogant, none of them want to reveal their trump cards in front of others. Even when facing mortal enemies, they remain calm and wait until they enter the Three Thousand Worlds to begin the reckoning.
So, even if disputes are ongoing, everyone will exercise restraint. If they truly can't hold back, the older generation of strong figures will step in and end their conflicts, so they can save face.
It was extremely rare for Long Chen to initiate a life-or-death challenge directly. As soon as Long Chen spoke, the whole world seemed to fall silent. They looked at Long Chen in disbelief, then at He Changtian.
Some of the strong street vendors even packed up their stalls and came over to watch the commotion. Countless experts whispered from afar, guessing whether they would start fighting.
"Interesting. He Changtian is one of the Seven Sons of the Heavenly Seal. The Empire had seven supreme-level princes in its generation. It can be said that since its founding, the Empire has never experienced a prosperous era.
The current Tianxi Empire is nothing like the old Tianxi Empire—it's full of arrogance. It used to be a vassal state of the Vermilion Bird Empire, wagging its tail like a dog begging for mercy. Now, hehe, this dog has someone backing it up and is starting to turn on its master. Someone said with a mocking expression.
Many people still know some details about the Tianxi Empire. Its national strength is not very strong. In the past, it appeared friendly to the Vermilion Bird Empire, but in reality, it depended on its protection, which prevented it from being annexed.
As for the Tianxi Empire, which borders the Vermilion Bird Empire, the Vermilion Bird Empire must protect it. Otherwise, if the Tianxi Empire is occupied by enemies, it would be like having a predatory beast lurking nearby, unable to sleep all night.
Between countries, there is often an exchange of interests; so-called good relations between the two countries are merely the connection of interest chains.
Now, the Imperial Seal Empire is growing stronger and more arrogant. In recent years, it has started to take many measures against the Vermilion Bird Empire that are hard for them to accept, and eventually, relations between the two countries have hit rock bottom.
Now, with the people of the Imperial Seal Empire surrounding the Vermilion Bird Empire provoking them, everyone knows what is going on.
However, people have always been puzzled: how can the Vermilion Bird Empire be so powerful, yet keep allowing the Tianxi Empire to provoke without retaliating? Could the legend be true? Is there something wrong within the Vermilion Bird Empire?
But now, things seem to have blown up, and more and more people are watching the spectacle, eager to see this drama.
"But that Long Chen isn't from the Vermilion Bird Empire. What kind of action is he supposed to make?" Some people couldn't help but find it a bit strange.
Someone responded, "You don't know about this, do you?" That Long Chen was a ruthless character, single-handedly slaying powerful enemies from all directions in the Heavenly Fire World.
Most of the beings who entered the Heavenly Fire World were killed by him alone, and in the end, he brutally beheaded the Son of Yanxu.
And the reason he killed Yanxu's son was because of Yu Qingxuan. At that time, no one knew she was the princess of the Vermilion Bird Empire.
Didn't he just say that Yu Qingxuan's matter is his own matter? Let me tell you, Long Chen is a super terrifying figure. Today is really going to show up. People
looked at Long Chen and the other two, whispering among themselves. Many didn't know Long Chen and eagerly asked about his background. Of course, there were also those who didn't know He Changtian and were trying to find out his background.
Long Chen and the other two stood together, coldly staring at He Changtian. Guo Ran secretly stepped forward half a pace, only to be pulled back by Xia Chen: "
You can't be so shameless. How much attention have you made?" Don't you know what the boss means? Clearly
, Guo Ran wanted to take a more provocative stance and then have He Changtian challenge him. During this period, he had made great progress and was especially eager to meet a strong opponent to test his true strength.
Although Xia Chen was low-key, he was one of the top geniuses in the Futian Star Domain and had a sense of pride. However, on Jiuyou Island, he was beaten so badly that he was suffocated and angry for a long time.
After learning from his pain, with the help of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree, he kept studying ancient talismans, reforged several formation disks and ultimate techniques, and wanted to find a super expert to test his skills.
Normally, he wouldn't have competed with Guo Ran for the spotlight, but at this moment, he urgently needed a battle to test his achievements, so he had to take the lead.
Seeing Xia Chen and Guo Ran eager to try their own thing, some were shocked, others mocked. They thought the two were foolish and had no idea how terrifying He Changtian was—a classic case of frogs at the bottom of a well.
He Changtian's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Clearly, Long Chen and the other two didn't take him seriously at all. To him, this was an immense humiliation.
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish. The three of you can come together. Today, we're going to fight to the death." He Changtian's voice was icy cold. With a big hand he tugged, his robe was torn apart, revealing a set of fiery red battle armor underneath.
"One of the Four Great National Treasures of the Tianxi Kingdom, the Heavenly Fire Battle Armor." Yin Ting cried out in surprise, recognizing this world-renowned domain artifact.
The Heavenly Fire Battle Armor is a fire-attribute divine armor. It is a set of scale armor, each engraved with a flame rune.
Each type of flame rune is imprinted with the life-bound fire of a fire-attribute divine beast. When the armor appears, flames soar skyward, and the roars of myriad beasts echo out, sending fear down one's spine.
For a moment, everyone was in an uproar. He Changtian was actually challenging Long Chen and the other two alone—just how powerful was his confidence?
As soon as the armor appeared, Huo Ling'er was instantly awakened, transforming into a fire dragon that quietly crawled out from Long Chen's neck, poking its head to look at him.
"Brother Long Chen, his armor is a good thing. It contains lots of runes, all of which I don't have. I want them. Let me out, I'll take him down." Huo Ling'er sent a message to Long Chen, saying she had taken a liking to the armor.
Long Chen was speechless. Huo Ling'er was actually going to fight too, but seeing Guo Ran and Xia Chen so eager to try, how could Long Chen have the nerve to compete with them?
At this moment, Yu Qingxuan looked at Long Chen, and a sweet smile gradually appeared on her face. She realized that as long as Long Chen was around, there was nothing in this world she needed to worry about.
The last time she met Yan Hong, it was like this, and this time was no different. With Long Chen around, she felt at ease. As for the issues between the two countries, she no longer cared about them. She chose to trust Long Chen wholeheartedly. This made her feel incredibly relaxed, having someone to rely on, and that feeling was so good.
Long Chen, Xia Chen, and Guo Ran exchanged glances, then suddenly struck out and shouted loudly, startling everyone. When they understood their actions, they instantly fainted.
"Scissors, stones, cloth!"
