Xia Guhong's tone was calm, yet full of confidence and undeniable dominance.
Even when facing Weng Taibei, a former formidable enemy, He Hongzhang, a Divine Lord realm expert, and potential threats like Liao Bencang and Enpuda, Xia Guhong dared to say such things. For a moment, countless people were shocked but also filled with admiration.
Xia Guhong, a figure who led an era, a hero full of legendary colors—perhaps only such a strong person possesses such immense confidence—this is what it means to be truly strong.
"I know big brother has that kind of strength, but I'll forget it. Look at that fat guy's eyes darting around—he just wants to see me make a move, then teach his disciples and grand-disciples and study my weaknesses.
Among my peers, I fear no strong opponent, but when someone else sets a trap, I foolishly jump in. It's like falling into this fat guy's trap. It's not worth it, so let him live a little longer. After all, I'm not in a hurry to get that sword. Long Chen shrugged, saying indifferently.
Perhaps among everyone, Long Chen feared Empuda the most, because this fat man was more dangerous than anyone else.
Although Long Chen had fought him before in Minghao Heaven, Empuda had always been very cautious and mediocre that time. Now, the more Long Chen thought about it, the more something seemed off. This guy had too many underhanded tricks and had to be guarded against.
Seeing Long Chen say this, Xia Guhong nodded and said nothing more.
"Xia Guhong, I've been looking for you for so many years, and it turns out you've hidden in the Wine God Palace. What's wrong? Are you still planning to keep hiding? Better to wait than to wait until today. Today, let's settle all our grievances and grievances. Seeing that Long Chen refused to fight, Weng Taibei spoke, his gaze burning as he looked at Xia Guhong.
Xia Guhong said calmly, "I am now a disciple of the Wine God Palace, past the age of competitive competition. The old grudges are now fleeting and hard to mention. Ever since my wife left, I have lost interest in these kinds of conflicts." Everyone
was shaken, looking at the aura of an emperor, like a heavenly emperor looking down on an eternal hero, and all sighed in secret.
Xia Guhong was such a hero, yet he could not overcome the barrier of love. After Luo Qingying's death, his ambition for supremacy was also extinguished. A hero of his generation, he no longer cared about the affairs of the martial world.
Now, facing the challenge of his former rival, he has become calm as water. People long for the hope of seeing Xia Guhong's heroic figure once again.
"What's wrong?" A former hero actually used a dead man as an excuse: Xia Guhong, you have fallen. Xia Guhong refused to fight, but Weng Taibei still refused to give up, speaking coldly.
Weng Taibei's words made countless people pale. The story of Xia Guhong and Luo Qingying is a symbol of purity. Xia Guhong's unwavering love for Luo Qingying earned admiration and admiration from many. For Weng Taibei to use Luo Qingying to provoke Xia Guhong was truly despicable.
"Can you even talk?" If you can't talk, just squeeze your butt tight and stop spraying. Guo Ran was furious, pointing at Weng Taibei and cursing loudly, as if ready to rush forward and kill.
During the time they spent with Xia Guhong, both Xia Chen and Guo Ran treated this big brother with great respect. Aside from Long Chen, he was the person they admired most. Weng Taibei was so extreme that they couldn't help but feel a bit restrained.
"My cultivation is low right now. If I were on the same level as you, if I didn't chop you into minced meat, I'd take your surname." Guo Ran cursed through gritted teeth.
Not only were Long Chen and the others furious, but countless powerful figures present glared at Weng Taibei. He was clearly a senior expert, but his words were far too vicious and behaved like a true master.
"Guo Ran, forget it. He's lived countless years without any progress, relying solely on talk to maintain his reputation. There's no point in arguing with him. Let's go, let's go drink."
Seeing Guo Ran curse loudly and furious, Xia Guhong smiled slightly, walked over to Guo Ran, patted his shoulder to calm him down, and also patted Long Chen and Xia Chen on the shoulders, because he noticed Long Chen's face was so dark it was almost frightening, and murderous intent rolled in his eyes.
Who is Xia Guhong? He immediately saw through Long Chen's intentions. At this moment, Long Chen wanted to agree to a fight with Weng Tianyao, kill him, and slap Weng Taibei in the face to vent his anger.
However, Xia Guhong patted Long Chen on the shoulder, and only then did Long Chen calm his anger. Xia Guhong was well-mannered and didn't take such things seriously, but he couldn't. Perhaps Xia Guhong's grace was something he would never be able to replicate.
But after Xia Guhong said this, Long Chen could only suppress his anger. Damn it, just you wait! If you can't deal with the old one, can't you kill the little one?
"Qingxuan greets you, senior." Xia Guhong walked over, and Yu Qingxuan hurriedly saluted.
"Why call me senior? Call me big brother? If you confuse seniority, you'd have to call me senior too."
Long Chen looked at Yu Qingxuan's polite demeanor. For some reason, looking at her face, most of the anger he had just felt instantly vanished, and his mood improved considerably. He joked with a smile.
"Yes, just call me big brother." Xia Guhong said with a smile.
Yu Qingxuan's pretty face flushed slightly. Long Chen was doing this on purpose, letting her follow his name to show how close they were. Yu Qingxuan couldn't help but make a cute face at Long Chen before bowing to Xia Guhong again:
"Qingxuan greets Brother Guhong."
As Yu Qingxuan saluted, the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Empire behind her hurriedly saluted one by one, their eyes filled with awe and admiration. This was a legendary figure—so many powerful figures would never have the chance to meet them in their lifetime.
After the greetings, everyone exchanged a few polite words and returned to the tavern to continue drinking. Weng Taibei and the others said nothing more, watching helplessly as Long Chen and the others left.
The conflict was ultimately declared over when the prince of the Tianxi Empire was killed. Countless people witnessed the fall of a supreme-level prodigy. Although the battle between Long Chen and Weng Tianyao did not occur later, it was already shocking enough.
"Long Chen's life is mine. Whoever dares to interfere, I'll kill them." Watching Long Chen's departing figure, Weng Tianyao gritted his teeth and said coldly.
Long Chen spoke arrogantly but did not accept the challenge, which fueled his anger and he directly declared that no one else was allowed to interfere in their fight.
"What a ridiculous joke. I insist on killing him. If you refuse, I'll kill you too." But Weng Tianyao's words instantly enraged Jiuyou Luosha.
"Young man, don't be too arrogant. Be careful not to get your tongue out of your mouth." Long Qinian, his blood surging to the heavens, sneered.
"Long Chen is the most prominent figure in Ming Haotian, representing its strongest prodigy. Whoever takes his head will become famous overnight and rise to the top."
Would anyone really let him off because of just one sentence from you? You're too naive. If you want to kill Long Chen, let's all speak for ourselves! Ji Wuming also spoke up, but like his master, he was sinister and pointed out the benefits of killing Long Chen.
As Jiuyou Luosha, Long Qinian, and Ji Wuming spoke, the other supreme-level prodigies also sneered, clearly very dissatisfied with Weng Tianyao's words.
"Hahaha, what a huge joke. If anyone disagrees, come find me and die!" Weng Tianyao laughed loudly toward the sky, his thunder longsword drawn once again, and pointed coldly at the heroes.
Killing intent surged in the first eyes of the Nine Nether Rakshasa as he was about to rush out, but Liao Bencang stopped him:
"There's no point in saying harsh words now. Let's all see the real trick in the Three Thousand Worlds!"
With Liao Bencang's words, all the prodigies snorted coldly and slowly dispersed, but a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of Enpuda's mouth.
