Chapter 328: Five Deadly Fists
Chapter 328: Five Deadly Fists
It was a tense situation.
Both Xiaolang and the Third Commander were fighting intensely, and Long Chen still had to remain calm. He looked at the Second Commander calmly, but the anger was seething out of his heart.
The Second Commander guessed what Long Chen was thinking and told him, You are right. I do have an advanced Earth-tier Body Tempering technique. To be honest, you are indeed a monstrous brat. My intuition has always been right, and I know that if I let the girl go, you have the power to fight me. Ive always been careful, so I will now cripple you while I continue to hold her hostage. The Emperor told me to bring you back alive, but I can cripple you. Youve killed many of my brothers, so I cant let you go just like that.
Long Chen stared at him, trying to come up with a plan.
The Second Commander looked at Ling Xi. Shes indeed a beautiful lady. No wonder you would kill the Ninth Prince for her. But your luck ends here. From now on, I will hold her while I attack you. If you retaliate, I will attack her too. You can try, but you should know I keep my promises.
Despicable! Long Chen was not anxious, but Ling Xi was. How could Long Chen survive a fight against someone as powerful as the Second Commander?
Fine! Long Chen answered. The Second Commander had not expected him to agree.
You are bold. Hahaha. The Second Commander chuckled. He pulled on Ling Xis arm and ran towards Long Chen. With his speed, he instantly appeared in front of him.
Lets try something simple first!
He punched Long Chens abdomen.
Dodge it! Ling Xi shouted, but her arm was in pain from being pulled by the Second Commander. She felt like her body was going to break, but she didnt care; she was more worried about Long Chen. The Second Commanders threat made Long Chen stand still. He glared at him without moving an inch.
With a dull thud, Long Chen was launched backwards and hit the wall. Numerous rocks fell from above due to the impact.
Long Chen started bleeding because of the punch, but he wiped it off. He continued to glare at the Second Commander and taunted him. You old fart, have you not eaten yet? Or did you waste your energy on a sow in bed yesterday? Your punch was so weak, I felt nothing.
No need to act tough in front of me. The Second Commander did not fall for the taunt. My punches will increase in strength. They will break your body until you are crippled. That was the first punch. In five punches, you will be crippled!
If I endure your five punches and don't get crippled, you better stop acting like a coward and fight me head-on! Long Chens eyes were clouded in red. Even though he was hurt, he refused to lower his head. His voice made the Second Commander uncomfortable.
If you can endure the five punches and can still fight, I will give you a fair chance, the Second Commander said nonchalantly.
He was actually very family with his technique. Even if Long Chen survived the fifth punch and was not crippled, his body would be so heavily wounded that the Second Commander could easily defeat him.
The promise is set. Dont take it back like a coward. I know the dogs of the Emperor are all spineless, but you seem different. You better not be the biggest coward of them all!
Long Chen used Recovery as he continued his taunts, but it no longer had an effect on his body.
He also didnt have time to use spiritual herbs, so he could only endure it.
Its a deal. Dont worry about me not honoring it. You just need to endure my punches.
Ling Xi cried when she saw Long Chen refusing to back down. Long Chen had moved her heart so much, and she hated how useless she was. She was even harming him!
Its because Im useless
This was the first time Ling Xi had yearned for strength in her life. No one dared to touch her back when she was with her family, so she never thought strength and power were that important to her. But she knew she had made the wrong choice when she saw the person that she loved agree to such a stupid gamble because of her. She felt like her heart was shattering.
She swore that if she had the chance again, she would cultivate properly. She would happily protect Long Chen for his entire life if she could.
But now Long Chen was going to be crippled because of her, so Ling Xi had one choice. As long as she died, she could ditch the body and Long Chen could win! They would then survive the ordeal together.
Ling Xi, dont do anything stupid. Long Chen looked at her.
The cold words stopped her. Long Chen needed only one look to know what she was thinking. Ling Xi saw his eyes and knew what he wanted to say: he was a man, and he needed her to trust him.
Ling Xi decided not to kill herself.
Stop talking nonsense. You two wont be able to live for long anyway. The Second Commander smiled at Long Chen. That was the first punch. Are you ready for the second?
Stop trying to scratch my itch and come at me seriously. Long Chen raised his head fearlessly.
What a stubborn brat. The Second Commander laughed and accelerated. He punched Long Chen in the abdomen again.
Crack!
This time, everyone heard the sound of bones cracking. Blood sprayed out of Long Chens mouth, and he rolled on the ground several times before he stood up without even wincing from the pain.
Brother Chen! Ling Xi shouted in shock. She thought Long Chen was dead this time, but she sighed when she saw him stand up again. Her heart ached when she saw his face covered in blood.
He stood up quickly, and they saw that Long Chens abdomen was slightly caved in. He didnt even wince as he forced himself to stand up. You really are weak, you old fart. How did the sow feel? I guess she was pretty good if you woke up this weak.
This time, the Second Commander was quiet. He knew that Long Chen was injured, but he was surprised to see that he could still stand up. Long Chen had not frowned even though he was bleeding and his abdomen was caved in with broken ribs. Long Chens mental strength was his strongest advantage, and the Second Commander knew that if Long Chen lived today, he would pose a threat to the imperial family!
I must capture him! The Second Commander punched a third time. He needed to deal with Long Chen as soon as possible. He saw that his sister was having some trouble in her fight against the beast. The wolf was not as easy to deal with as he had thought. He wanted to help her after dealing with Long Chen.
The third punch landed squarely on Long Chens abdomen again. This time, it was even stronger and Long Chen was injured further. Qi penetrated into his body and injured his organs. He coughed up blood while laying on the ground before he stood up shakily. He didnt even wince and chuckled. How did you thrust into the sow? Up and down? Left and right? Or front to back?
You stubborn brat. I will make sure you cant stand up again after the next punch. The Second Commanders mouth twitched. Long Chens taunts were surprisingly deadly, and even he was getting angry.
What are you crying for? the Second Commander said to the crying Ling Xi. I have to say, the person you love really has guts. But reality is always very disappointing. You are beautiful, but you are weak, so you will face many dangers in the future, and you dont have time to cry. Just consider this brat a memory for the future.
Even though the Second Commander was his enemy, he had to admit that Long Chens mental strength was one in a million. His gaze, his behavior, and even his intent to battle were very rare to find in a normal person.
Xiao Xi Long Chen grit his teeth when he saw her crying. His heart was aching for her. The commander was still standing in front of him, so there was nothing he could do yet. He endured the pain and looked at the Second Commander. Two more punches. If you dont think you can do it, we can just fight now.
No Brother Chen Dont die. I dont want you to die Having the body of a normal person had brought Ling Xi so much pain. She wanted to block the Second Commander with her body, but she couldnt move an inch!
Stop delaying. I dont have time to waste. Come and scratch my back for me again! Long Chen decided not to look at Ling Xi again. He was afraid that his heart wouldnt be able to handle her crying for him.
Idiot. I will honor your wish, then. The Second Commander laughed and punched Long Chen again. This time, Long Chen fell into the deep pool at the bottom of the waterfall.
