Chapter 332: Birth of a Legend
Chapter 332: Birth of a Legend
Long Chen felt numerous strong presences nearby. Some of them were so strong that even he was unsure if he could defeat them. They were undoubtedly the experts of the dwarves.
He was surrounded by ten experts at the Seventh River Stage and hundreds of cultivators at the Fifth and Sixth River Stages. They were being led by the Eighth River Stage Song Zhongcheng. This was the entirety of the strength of the Harmony family.
Long Chen had not only killed Song Zhongchengs beloved son, he had also killed the Ninth Prince. If they took out Long Chen, not only could they take revenge for Song Yuefeng, they could also earn merits from the Emperor himself. This was an excellent mission, and the dwarves were more than happy to do it.
That was why the dwarves and the palace guards have been competing against each other to find Long Chen. But they were shocked to learn that the palace guards had ended up being defeated. They also learned new information, including how they could track Long Chen using the Lotus Weasel. That was why many of the dwarves had Lotus Weasels in their possession right now.
Its thanks to the numerous Lotus Weasels that they managed to find him and Ling Xi in the rural Clear Water City. It was impossible for Ling Xi to scrub off the scent of the lotus, so the dwarves had found them the moment Long Chen stopped.
Long Chen had been extra careful throughout their escape, but he had lost to the Lotus Weasel, which was barely a Category One Yellow-tier.
Xiaolang was ready to fight while he stood beside Long Chen. The doctor, on the other hand, was cowering in the face of all the fearsome warriors surrounding them. He knew that the people were here for Long Chen and not for Clear Water City.
You can leave. Long Chen didnt want to drag the doctor into his mess. Not only had the doctor helped Ling Xi recover, the dwarves had also found their location, so there was no reason to kill the doctor to keep it a secret anymore. Even if Long Chen hadnt let the doctor go, the others would have been able to find Ling Xi using the Lotus Weasel.
The doctor sighed in relief and slowly approached a side where there were fewer dwarves. Just then, one of the youths killed the doctor in one blow.
Idiot. How dare you walk away in front of the patriarch of the Harmony family, you piece of trash.
The youth was arrogant and did not even think Long Chen was worth his time.
Long Chen clenched his fists tightly behind his back.
Song Zhongcheng looked at Long Chen and chuckled dryly. Long Chen, your name has shocked the entire nation. I had to remind myself not to underestimate you, but it seems I actually did in the end. Its commendable that you managed to kill the six commanders, but we are the Harmony family! We have sacred blood in our veins! Everything is useless in front of us, including you! Hahaha! The Lotus Weasel is indeed a useful creature. We used it to track you down!
The dwarves laughed in unison. The Third Commander was the one who had thought to use a Lotus Weasel to track down Long Chen, but now the dwarves had taken advantage of it. That was how they had located him.
How could a Fifth River Stage cultivator fight against such a large force? Song Zhongcheng and the others knew this, so they were very relaxed. Even though Long Chen could make miracles, Song Zhongcheng was at the Eighth River Stage and was very close to the peak of martial arts. It was impossible for him to lose.
If he did, Long Chen would be a living legend!
But legends were not real.
Ling Xi was sleeping soundly in the room. Long Chen wanted to protect her peace, and he would need to pay a terrible price to do so. His heart was heavy. While the dwarves were taunting him, he was silently gauging the battle strength between them and him. But all of his plans would end in failure. He and Xiaolang could fight against two Seventh River Stage cultivators at most, so how could they possibly overcome this?
The answer was through intelligence.
Because the dwarves were short, Long Chen looked down on them and snorted. So what if you've found me? What can you do? I was afraid of the palace guards, but I was never afraid of you. You are all ants that fight in numbers. You dont have the guts to fight me one-on-one.
Long Chens taunt set off waves among the dwarves. Even though Song Zhongcheng knew that this was a mere taunt, he could not turn it down because of how the other dwarves were looking at him. Who says the dwarves rely on numbers to win? Long Chen, let me fight you one-on-one. I want to see what kind of person managed to kill the Second Commander!
What a fair fight. An Eighth River Stage fighting against a Fifth River Stage? Arent you afraid of being humiliated? Long Chen taunted.
Idiot! The Patriarch is doing you a favor!
Its an honor to die in the hands of the Harmony family!
Stop talking! Song Zhongcheng waved his hands. He had a lot of strong men with him now, and he knew that if he were to fight Long Chen head-on, the others might laugh at him once they were back in the palace. He ordered one of the stronger-looking dwarves that looked like a beast, Bendao, you fight him. Kill him!
A stout-looking dwarf revealed a devilish grin saw when Song Zhongcheng called on him. Yes! I will take his head!
The man then walked out from the crowd and stood in front of Long Chen.
You are the first one! Long Chen was not afraid. This was the best-case scenario for himhe could fight the dwarves one at a time. He knew the dwarves had massive egos, so he only needed to taunt them slightly.
Still, the situation was grim.
Those at the Seventh River Stage usually used advanced Earth-tier techniques, and Long Chen lacked the tools to fight someone on that level. His strongest attack, Dragon King Burial, was only an intermediate Earth-tier technique. The only thing he had was Divine Fire Clone.
Long Chen jumped onto a roof and looked down at the dwarves. I will stand here and the trash can come up one by one. Lets see how many of you it will take to defeat me. Or maybe none of you can?
Shit! The dwarves were angered by his words and wanted to rush him together to tear him apart.
Hes cocky! But no matter how cocky he is, he will die in the hands of the Harmony family!
Every dwarf warrior in the Harmony family has the power to change the heavens and earth! Song Bendao, go and take his head! If you do, you can have my wife for a night! Song Zhongchengs eyes were cold.
Song Bendao, the dwarf who looked like a beast, was immediately enticed by the reward. He recalled how voluptuous the Patriarchs wife was, and blood started converging on one spot of his body. He wanted to defeat Long Chen as soon as possible to sleep with the Patriarchs wife!
What a bunch of savages. Long Chen shook his head. They even give each other their wives. Long Chen could never understand the savages.
While the dwarves were cheering, Song Bendao rushed up the roof and roared. There were very few people around the area in the first place, and the remaining few had run away when they saw the dwarves, so the area was now empty.
Long Chen sighed when he looked at the beast-like dwarves. He didnt know the name of the doctor, but he felt that it was a shame for him to die at the hands of dwarves.
Nevermind. I will kill as many dwarves as possible to avenge you. Long Chens eyes were resolute. He looked at the house where Ling Xi was in, and Xiaolang was guarding the entrance. Xiaolang looked at Long Chen with readiness in his eyes.
Protect Ling Xi Long Chen whispered. Xiaolang understood, so he nodded! To him, this was an important mission that he absolutely could not fail!
Xiaolangs heart was beating rapidly as he swore to himself, I must not let Ling Xi get captured again! I must protect her even if it costs my life!
I will just burn the flames of life if I need to fight. I dont believe Ill lose if I use it to fight them!
Long Chen naturally didnt know what Xiaolang was thinking, but he knew that Xiaolang would do his best. Long Chen only needed to taunt them one by one to kill them!
So your name is Song Bendao? Good. You will be the first animal to die by my hand today.
What? You idiot! Did you bang your head against a door? I heard that you have the prettiest lady in the Cangyang Kingdom by your side. Once Ive defeated you, I will ask the Patriarch to let me sleep with her for a night!
Long Chen was angered.
You savages!
In that instant, the Blood Devouring Domain and Divine Fire Clones engulfed Song Bendao.
