"Rumble... Countless
powerful figures charged forward, their momentum overwhelming. Long Chen completely ignored them and just advanced step by step. When he passed a platform, it looked like he was the future Lingxiao Square.
However, at this moment, the square was still in the process of Foundation Establishment, but its initial scale had already taken shape. By now, the square was already packed with people.
"Buzz"
As Long Chen walked onto the square, a figure appeared. Without a word, a giant axe, larger than a table, slashed down at Long Chen.
It was a giant over three zhang tall. Clearly, he was not human, but still a disciple of Lingxiao Academy. As soon as he appeared, Ye Ziwen behind Long Chen exclaimed:
"Disaster Butcher!"
The one called Disaster Butcher was a ruthless figure in Lingxiao Academy, powerful and ruthless. He was ranked fifth on the Heavenly Ranking.
But in the entire Heavenly Ranking, only he challenged others; no one challenged him, because his attacks were so ruthless that he disregarded even his own kin. No one knew how many challengers had died at his hands.
Although Yang Tu had been punished countless times, he still refused to repent. At Lingxiao Academy, he was a bloodthirsty maniac.
"Die."
Yang Tu wielded a giant axe, strange phenomena swirling behind him, his blood energy surging to the sky. With every strike, he delivered his strongest strike. Watching his muscles bulge high, everyone fled in panic. He felt that Yang Tu's strike would blow the entire square apart, and the others would suffer as well.
"Crack!" However,
the legendary earth-shattering explosion did not occur. A giant hand covered in stars blocked the giant axe, and the world-destroying power on the axe vanished without a trace, not even the earth trembled at all.
"This ..."
Ye Ziwen's pupils contracted sharply. He was a master himself; otherwise, he wouldn't have made it into the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking. He could tell that Long Chen had absorbed all of Yang Tu's power into his body, using the power of the Flesh God to dissolve his own strength.
To dissolve the opponent's power, Long Chen's own strength must be at least ten times that of the opponent, barely managing to do so.
And Long Chen did it so effortlessly, leaving Ye Ziwen completely stunned. He finally understood just how terrifying Long Chen really was.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen grabbed the axe blade and suddenly clenched his fist. The giant axe was crushed by Long Chen's force, and amid countless gasps, Long Chen threw a punch.
"Boom!"
Starlight dotted Long Chen's fist, and amid the divine radiance, Yang Tu vanished in an instant. Along with him, the soon-to-be-built grand hall vanished as well.
After the punch, a chasm stretching ten thousand li wide, with no end in sight, appeared across the entire square. The chasm stretched out, piercing through the mountains. With a shook effect, the mountains collapsed with a thunderous roar.
"Tick-tock"
Cold sweat slid down Ye Ziwen's forehead, dripping onto the floor and soaking the blue bricks that hadn't yet been laid.
Seeing this scene, he felt a wave of lingering fear. The only reason he was still alive was entirely heaven's favor. How terrifying was that Disaster Slaughter? He wasn't confident he could last ten moves against him.
Yet this terrifying existence was actually slain by Long Chen in a single blow, leaving no room for resistance.
"Fifth on the Heavenly List... That's it... Dead? All
the experts present were horrified. Staring at Long Chen's expressionless face, they were so terrified they didn't even dare to breathe.
This strike completely confirmed Long Chen's identity, because from the previous "joke," it was mentioned that Long Chen was invincible among his peers. Fighting beyond his rank was routine. His combat power was astonishing and decisive; no one could stop his advance.
Of course, back then, when they heard these adjectives, they almost burst out laughing, but now, seeing the real Long Chen, they couldn't smile at all.
"Long Chen..."
Suddenly, a voice of surprise rang out, and then everyone saw two graceful fairies, like lotuses emerging from water, appear in the square.
"Qingxuan, Shishi"
When Long Chen saw Yu Qingxuan and Bai Shishi, the coldness on Long Chen's face vanished, replaced by gentleness. Having endured the bloody slaughter of the Heavenly Fire Demon Domain, Long Chen longed even more desperately for the warmth of family affection.
Especially when he saw the tenderness in their eyes, Long Chen's heart felt like it was melting. Seeing Long Chen's eyes turn slightly red, Yu Qingxuan and Bai Shishi felt a pang of sympathy.
"The director said you're back, and asked us to come pick you up. We're afraid you'll make a big deal out of it, making it impossible to wrap things up." Yu Qingxuan looked at Long Chen's travel-worn appearance and gently straightened his slightly messy collar, speaking softly.
"The director really knows you well." Looking at the chaotic plaza and the stench of blood in the air, Bai Shishi smiled faintly.
Long Chen gave a bitter smile: "The dean's wisdom is as vast as the sea—truly admirable. Luckily, he sent you two to pick me up."
If they sent Guo Ran and Gu Yang, those who love to stir things up, whether Lingxiao Academy would still be around is uncertain. Clearly
, Long Chen's every move was under the director's control. Bai Shishi and Yu Qingxuan gently linked arms with him on either side, completely ignoring the strange looks from the others.
Soft and fragrant, held by the two of them, Long Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself: You two are here, what else can I do? Do you think I dare to ignore your advice?
"Trying to leave?" Is it really that easy? At
that moment, the void rumbled as a group of people rushed in. Leading them was a Six Meridian Heavenly Saint-level expert, who shouted sternly, clearly having just received the news.
Long Chen glanced at the old man and said calmly, "How about I kill you before I leave?" It wouldn't take much time anyway. "
Gentlemen, this is Dean Long Chen, whom I mentioned to you before. If there's something to discuss, let's talk later. Are you afraid Dean Long Chen will run away?" Bai Shishi's expression turned cold as she spoke loudly.
When the words "Dean Long Chen" were spoken, the entire audience gasped in surprise. Clearly, none of them expected that the person before them was the "laughingstock" they had once talked about.
When the old man heard it was Long Chen, his expression changed as well, but he immediately snorted coldly, "What dean?" What a huge joke. Among the three deans of Lingxiao Academy, not a single one is named Long Chen.
A mere bastard, still wet and still smelling of age, dares to call himself dean—what a laugh in the world..."
"Buzz"
Before he could finish, suddenly the space trembled. Long Chen appeared before him, a large hand tracing a long arc through the void, slapping his face firmly.
With a loud explosion, half of the old man's head was smashed apart. Like a meteor, he crashed into the ground, leaving a bottomless pit in the earth.
Waves of earth churned and stones churned, frightening those nearby into quickly dodging. Looking at the giant pit and feeling the old man's faint breath, their hearts stopped pounding.
"Why don't you smile and show me?"
Long Chen stood above the void, looking down at the Great Pit and spoke coldly.
