"Everyone come out,"
the saint shouted with a dark expression, then turned and walked out of the herb garden.
The dozen or so immortal powerhouses instantly felt their scalps tingle, each feeling uneasy. They had laughed before because they felt relieved.
But when the saint heard it, the tone changed. This kind of laughter was a form of mockery, a provocation.
These immortal experts all dared not look up, tightly shutting their mouths and staring at their own toes as they walked out of the herb garden.
Each of them was anxious. Having served this leader for many years, they knew well that he had a bad temper. Today, one of them might be in trouble. As for who was unlucky, it all depended on their own luck.
"Puff puff puff puff..."
But just as they stepped out of the herb garden, a blood-red broadsword tore through the sky, beheading everyone.
It turned out that the saint was not the original saint at all, but Long Chen in disguise. If these powerful figures could take a closer look at Long Chen, they could easily spot the flaw, because the aura Long Chen imitated was nothing like it.
But these people, out of fear, didn't dare look at Long Chen, and Long Chen used this mentality to gamble with them, and ended up winning in one blow.
The reason Long Chen wanted to lure them out of the medicinal field and kill them was because if these people sensed something unusual inside and resisted, the field would be destroyed.
Even if he didn't resist, his blood energy surged, and many rare herbs were highly spiritual; if frightened, they would wither.
"Buzz!"
But an unexpected event occurred. The moment Long Chen slew these immortal powerhouses with a single strike, the blood-red long blade in his hand lit up rapidly, radiating a fierce aura.
Oh no!
Long Chen's expression changed instantly. He hadn't expected that after killing someone, this blood-red longsword would directly absorb the blood soul power of an immortal powerhouse and activate its runes.
The runes erupted, and this fierce weapon seemed to be awakened by blood, gaining spiritual power and instantly completing its awakening.
And this awakening of its spirit was no problem; the aura it released instantly swept in all directions, causing a huge commotion.
"We're doomed!"
Long Chen exclaimed, hurriedly dodging into the medicinal field. He had thought he could calmly collect these rare herbs, but now, soon, some experts were alerted.
At that moment, Long Chen was both angry and anxious. If he'd known, he wouldn't have used this knife. These rare medicines are extremely precious and must be collected with utmost care. Moreover, how to collect some rare herbs still requires research for Long Chen, because if he gets careless, these rare herbs could die.
Because this is the Sacred Medicine Garden, with many sacred herbs on par with Thousand Leaf Holy Light Snow Lotus and Jade Bone Purple Heart Bamboo, you have to be especially careful when collecting them. If you die outside, the Chaos Space might not be able to revive it.
But now Long Chen had no choice. He could only harvest as many as he could. If he didn't have time, he would have no choice but to destroy the garden. Just thinking about destroying this garden made his heart bleed.
"Don't move, you'll ruin it like this!" Just as Long Chen was about to strike at a sacred herb, the voice of the Qiankun Cauldron rang out.
"Leave it to me!"
Amid Long Chen's surprise and delight, the Qiankun Cauldron appeared, emitting a gentle holy light that enveloped the entire medicinal field.
"Go hold off that Saint and buy me some time." Qiankun Cauldron said.
At that moment, Long Chen sensed a terrifying aura. He immediately rushed out of the medicinal field, rushing toward the aura.
"You brazen thief! How dare you come to my turf to steal medicine? You're tired of living!" Amid the endless alarms, a furious roar rang out—it was the Saint who had previously scolded and cursed everyone.
"Hey, hey, don't get the wrong idea, we're all on the same side!" Long Chen saw the Saint and hurriedly called out.
The sage was stunned at first, then noticed something was wrong with Long Chen's aura and shouted coldly, "
Damn intruder, are you toying with me?" Who are you among your own? Tell me, who exactly are you? "
Don't you know me?" Am I your father? Long Chen said in disbelief.
"Die!"
The saint was furious. He had originally found this suspicious, but during his conversation with Long Chen, he spread out his divine sense to see if Long Chen had any accomplices. When he realized Long Chen was alone and was being mocked like this, he was instantly furious.
"Whoosh!"
The Saint spread his massive hand and reached out to grab Long Chen. The moment he struck, the void twisted, and a giant hand appeared in the void, with two palm prints simultaneously reaching for Long Chen.
Although the saint was furious, he did not use his full strength for this strike. After all, he wanted to capture him alive to understand the whole story.
At the same time, he didn't dare to unleash his full power, because if he did, the medicine garden would be destroyed. Even with the protection of the grand formation, it wouldn't withstand his power. If the garden was destroyed, even he would be finished.
"First Technique of Opening Heaven"
Facing the Saint, Long Chen shouted sharply. Starlight appeared on the blood-red long blade in his hand, and a fierce blade wind howled forward.
With a loud explosion, the sky-covering giant hand was actually split in two by Long Chen's blade. The blade wind did not weaken and struck the old man's palm heavily, producing another explosive sound.
The old man groaned and staggered backward, his large hand dripping with blood, nearly shattered by Long Chen's blade.
"Wow, having a handy weapon really does make a difference." Long Chen himself was startled.
At this moment, he hadn't yet unleashed his full power, nor summoned any phenomena. He had only used the star sea power within his dantian, and this strike had already dealt a heavy blow to the Saint.
Although Long Chen knew the saint hadn't used his full strength, he hadn't used his full strength either.
Most importantly, when the power of the stars was attached to the weapon, Long Chen clearly felt that the vast power of the stars, like a raging flood, had finally found an outlet—the Heaven Opening had undergone a qualitative change.
The old Kaitian was like a blade without a sharpened blade. Although powerful, the force was spread across the entire blade. The blade was used as a stick, not for chopping, but for smashing.
But now things are different. When a weapon is powerful enough to confidently bear Long Chen's power, Long Chen's strength doesn't need to protect the weapon; instead, he concentrates all his strength on the blade. Although the strength is the same, the destructive power is countless times greater.
"Hey, hey, stop hitting me. Honestly, I'm really your dad!" Long Chen took advantage of the blow and didn't attack immediately, instead hurriedly waving his hand.
"Whoa, you... You ... Where did you get the weapon in your hand? The saint was furious, but when he saw the blood-red long blade in Long Chen's hand, his expression changed dramatically.
Hearing the old man's question, Long Chen's eyes darted and he said seriously, "I am a member of the Asura clan. Today I was ordered to retrieve this ... commissioned by you to forge."
"Nonsense! Go to hell!"
The Saint was furious. He stepped on the void, his figure flickering, and the world was filled with his illusions.
"Boom"
Suddenly, a fist reached out from the void behind Long Chen. Long Chen snorted coldly and swung his blade to block.
"When"
Sparks flew everywhere, Long Chen's body shook violently, and he was sent flying. When he looked at the fist, his pupils contracted slightly.
