No one expected Long Qihua to suddenly erupt. The violent aura locked onto Long Chen, and at that moment, Long Chen seemed to bear the weight of the universe, and the arena beneath his feet cracked rapidly centered on Long Chen.
Seeing this scene, countless people were shocked. After all, this was the arena where the top ten experts of the Gongtian Ranking battled.
Long Ziwei's final strike was so terrifying that even Long Qingyun was slashed into nothingness, yet he couldn't destroy the arena. Now, the arena beneath Long Chen's feet was cracked in large areas. What kind of force was Long Chen envious?
"Ah..."
Faced with Long Qihua's sudden pressure, Long Chen's whole body trembled. The immense force nearly crushed him to the point of coughing up blood, his bones nearly crushed. Enraged, Long Chen thrust the Evil Moon of the Dragon Bone in his hand forward. Long Zaiye let out a piercing scream, clutching his head in extreme pain.
At this point, he no longer cared about Long Ziwei, letting him slip from his hand. Long Ziwei landed on the ground, blood spraying wildly, and he felt as if he was about to be crushed to death by that terrifying force.
Although Long Qihua's power was concentrated on Long Chen, and he endured less than one percent of Long Chen's, he still couldn't bear it and was nearly crushed.
"Compete with me in toughness?" Come on? I'll kill him, you kill me, then my father will come back, kill all of you, and bury me with you. If you've got the guts, then just try! Long Chen's sword-like brows shot up, murderous intent boiling over.
Long Qihua's strength far surpassed his, but trying to threaten him with his pressure to immobilize him and rescue Long Zaiye was impossible.
Long Chen also became fierce and directly brought up his father. Long Chen didn't believe they would dare do anything to him. The things his father said before the Nine Heavens Passage were all for Lord Tiansi.
And the Celestial Division would surely pass on Long Zhantian's words to the Long family verbatim. For those old foxes from the Long family, Long Chen didn't believe they would dare kill him, as that would not be in the family's interest.
The larger the family, the weaker the family bonds become. Long Chen didn't believe they would kill him for a single Long Qingyun. The Long family didn't have the courage, because Long Zhantian could kill the Long family once and wipe out their entire clan.
Long Qihua was both shocked and furious. He had already overestimated Long Chen as much as possible. The pressure in his body instantly concentrated on Long Chen—even disciples like Long Ziwei and Long Qingyun would be crushed in an instant.
Even a Child of Destiny level powerhouse would be so crushed that he couldn't move, barely able to lift a finger, so he could easily rescue Long Zaiye and break the deadlock.
Although he disliked Long Chen, he would not kill him. Just as Long Chen had expected, that would not be in the family's best interest. Moreover, the Long family wouldn't allow him to do so. Of course, he was also afraid of Long Zhantian's retaliation.
But he never expected that Long Chen could withstand all of his pressure and even attack Long Zhanye. Most importantly, he could control the force and not kill Long Zaiye in one go. That was astonishing.
For a moment, Long Qihua was caught between a rock and a hard place. The entire arena could only hear Long Zaiye's wails, because at this moment, Dragon Bone Xie Yue was secretly extracting his blood soul—a raw and brutal blow a hundred times more cruel than torture. Long Zaiye could not bear it.
And every time he howled, the Long family was humiliated. Although the Dragon Bone Evil Moon could only temporarily extract part of its blood soul power and couldn't store it, that didn't stop it from torturing people for fun.
"Stop!"
At that moment, a figure stepped forward. It was none other than Lord Tiansi. Although he only possessed the cultivation of an Earth Saint, even Long Qihua had no choice but to withdraw his pressure.
"Whew."
Long Qihua withdrew his breath, and Long Chen let out a long breath. It felt as if a giant hand was gripping his throat, making it impossible to breathe. Now that the hand had loosened, the suffocating sensation gradually faded.
Seeing Long Qihua withdraw his aura, Long Chen glanced at Lord Tiansi, who was now smiling warmly at him.
Long Chen didn't have much fondness for the Long family, but he didn't have much resentment toward Lord Tiansi, because he wasn't as foolish as others.
"Whoosh"
Long Chen pulled the Dragon Bone Evil Moon out from the back of Long Zaiye's head. Long Zaiye broke free from the threat of the Dragon Bone Evil Moon, suddenly spun around, and punched fiercely at Long Chen.
Everyone cried out in shock, even Long Qihua's expression changed. Long Zaiye was practically a madman—Lord Tiansi had stepped in, yet he still dared to act recklessly.
However, just as his face turned, a large hand covered in dragon scales slammed hard onto his face. Long Chen slapped it out, and Long Zaiye spun around sharply, as if deliberately placing his face in Long Chen's palm.
With a loud bang, the two forces collided. Long Zaiye was sent flying like a meteor, crashing hard into the spectator stands at the edge of the ring. He punched a huge hole through the stands, and he had already vanished, no one knew where he had been whipped to.
For a moment, all the strong fighters in the arena were left speechless—no one had expected this outcome.
Long Chen's slap, as if foreseeing, even Long Qihua was startled. The strike was so smooth that even he felt his vision blur, unable to catch any trace.
Long Chen slapped Long Zaiye away, feeling his aura rapidly fading away. Long Chen knew this guy had just used a donkey to run down the slope, and staying here would only bring embarrassment. Running away was a wise choice.
With Lord Tiansi around, he simply couldn't fight Long Chen to the death. Shouting and shouting would only make him more humiliated. This guy was rare to be smart for once.
After a brief moment of shock, Lord Tiansi smiled awkwardly: "Long Chen, long time no see. Ever since we parted ways at the Nine Heavens Passage, your strength has surged by leaps and bounds. What a joyful occasion!" "
Thanks to you, I'm just struggling between saving face and losing face. Now, I can barely say I can still live with dignity." Long Chen also smiled slightly.
As Long Chen spoke, he pulled Long Ziwei up from the ground. Long Chen noticed that Long Ziwei had multiple broken bones all over his body. He gave him a pill to swallow and said calmly:
"You weren't killed by your opponent, but someone crushed so many bones. You should thank Lord First Heaven Saint. No matter what, you've fought someone of this caliber before. If word gets out, It was a lifelong honor. At
this moment, Long Ziwei was terrified out of his wits. He was not Long Chen; he could not resist that terrifying pressure. This pressure was not just a physical crush, but also a dazzling blow to his soul and will.
He knew Long Chen was using him to mock Long Qihua, and he wanted to cooperate by saying thank you, but those two words just wouldn't come out. He admitted he was backing down.
"Lord Tiansi, I have other matters to attend to. I must take my leave!" Long Qihua cupped his fists slightly toward Lord Tiansi, then turned and disappeared. Clearly, the sooner he left a place like this, the better; otherwise, Long Chen's mouth would be too annoying.
"Come on, let's find a place to have a proper talk!" Lord Tiansi made a gesture inviting them, and Long Chen took Long Ziwei and left with him.
Then a major piece of news exploded across the Long family.
