Chapter 714: 714
Seeing that Long Chen had been plotted against, the Dragonblood warriors were enraged . They all took out their weapons, about to charge their way into the storm zone .
“Don’t cause trouble!” shouted Gu Yang . “It’s already hard enough for us to be here . You won’t even advance a few miles before being blown back . As for the storm zone, you won’t be able to enter . Acting like this is just inviting humiliation!”
“Then what are we supposed to do?!” raged a Dragonblood warrior .
“You guys, really? As your cultivation bases grew, it seems your brains have become dumber . Do you think boss is someone who will suffer without retaliating? Just obediently cultivate and wait to watch the show . Remember, boss is unrivaled!” said Guo Ran .
Long Chen had already charged back into the white zone . What shocked everyone was that he was practically a bolt of lightning .
“Heavens, that’s way too fast!” The disciples in the trial watched as Long Chen sped by . This speed was even greater than the Four Heavenly Geniuses when they had charged forward . He was out of the white zone in just a few breaths .
Even in the blue zone, his speed didn’t decrease . He directly pierced through to the red zone . Upon reaching there, Long Chen let out a furious roar, and his aura erupted .
Space trembled, but Long Chen’s speed still didn’t decrease . He was like a flying arrow, and he even became faster .
BOOM!
Long Chen used the most direct, most barbaric method to barge right into the storm zone . This was too ruthless . He didn’t even give himself time to breathe or adjust .
The spectators were dumbfounded . Of course, this included Shui Yuncong . He had a bad premonition .
The four families’ experts could all tell that Long Chen’s current mood wasn’t good . Since Shui Guanzhi had plotted against him, it seemed he wasn’t willing to be struck without striking him back .
Only Shui Wuhen’s expression was calm . She knew Long Chen was completely infuriated .
With his previous experience, Long Chen merely trembled slightly upon entering the storm zone . He took half a step back . This half step was truly excellent . Originally, when you entered a new zone, there would be a powerful impact force . But now, the impact striking him had dropped thirty to forty percent, so he wasn’t injured .
Then with a cold snort, he began moving toward Shui Guanzhi .
Although his speed wasn’t fast anymore, in less than two hours, he was less than a mile from him .
Shui Guanzhi once more turned back with a disdainful expression . “This isn’t a place you can stay . But since you are so obstinate, I can only help you scram again . ”
A large fist suddenly condensed in the air and shot toward Long Chen .
This time, Long Chen managed to see it . Shui Guanzhi was truly a sinister person . He might have turned his head back, but he didn’t turn the rest of his body . He had actually been forming hand seals in front of him to secretly set up an attack . That was how Long Chen had been struck last time .
Furthermore, Long Chen was at a disadvantage . With the tide’s power behind him, Shui Guanzhi’s attack was much stronger .
His power was increased by the current, while Long Chen was forcing his way through the current . Of course he would be the one to suffer .
Suddenly, a saber appeared in Long Chen’s hands . That was an Enchanted item he had obtained from someone else’s hands .
His Blooddrinker was still crazily absorbing the Phoenix Blood Black Gold’s energy to heal itself . Long Chen didn’t want to disturb it .
Saber Qi soared into the sky . With a slash of his saber, the fist was cleanly cut in half . Furthermore, the leftover power continued toward Shui Guanzhi .
Shui Guanzhi hadn’t expected Long Chen to be so strong . His hand seal suddenly changed, and a curtain of water appeared in the air .
Long Chen’s saber-image landed on the curtain of water . The water curtain trembled a few times, but it still completely dispelled Long Chen’s attack .
“Fuck off!”
Suddenly, a cold shout rang out . Long Chen had already crossed the mile that had separated them . Holding his saber with both hands, he mercilessly slashed it down .
Long Chen’s previous attack hadn’t just split apart Shui Guanzhi’s attack, but it had also cut a channel in front of him, one that greatly reduced the pressure of the current . He had taken advantage of that to charge right up to Shui Guanzhi .
This time, his attack was even stronger . His saber caused a spatial-tearing sound that caused Shui Guanzhi’s expression to change .
“Skywater Shield!”
Shui Guanzhi hastily formed a hand seal, and runic energy formed a three-meter-wide shield in front of him .
This shield was condensed from countless water element runes . It appeared as if it was made of water .
BOOM! Powerful qi waves erupted . Zhong Wuyan and Yue Qianshan frowned . They were affected by the shockwaves .
The two of them slowly moved further away . Although they weren’t afraid, that didn’t mean they would stupidly waste such a good cultivation opportunity .
As for Zhao Wuji, he sneered . This was the best possible show for him .
He represented the Zhou family, while Shui Guanzhi represented the Shui family . The two families were like fire and water . He had exchanged blows with Shui Guanzhi many times, but it had always ended up in a draw .
Shui Guanzhi’s water element cultivation technique was too abnormal, and it restricted him . He was an earth element expert . Shui Guanzhi’s water technique might not specialize in offense, but it was unrivaled when it came to softness and flexibility .
Each time Zhao Wuji’s fists tried to hit him, it would be like hitting cotton . The feeling of his fists landing on nothing was so irritating that it almost made him puke .
Shui Guanzhi rarely fought head-on with others . He used his endless water magical arts to exhaust his opponents to death . So Zhao Wuji hated fighting him the most .
Long Chen’s saber landed on Shui Guanzhi’s water shield . He found that this water shield was constantly rippling . Each time it rippled, it erased part of his power . It was extremely strange .
The two of them were deadlocked for a moment . Shui Guanzhi sneered, “You’re just a country bumpkin and have no qualifications to be here . You should leave while you still can . Stay in the red zone . ”
Shui Guanzhi had long since heard of Long Chen, but he had never taken him seriously . He considered him nothing more than a slightly strong bumpkin who had come from the mountains .
He and the other rank two Celestials had all been found to have an innate Dao mark by the time they were five years old . They were innate rank two Celestials .
There were two kinds of rank two Celestials . One kind had advanced from the first rank . But that was extremely difficult .
For example, Yin Wushang had been a powerful figure amongst rank one Celestials . If he could have perfectly merged his true body with his clone, then he would have had at least a thirty percent chance of becoming a rank two Celestial .
Not all Celestials would have a chance of advancing . It would depend on their Heavenly Dao runes, as well as their talent . The most important thing was that it required an ocean’s worth of resources . Amongst one hundred rank one Celestials, less than one might advance to the second rank .
Most rank two Celestials were innate . They simply had to awaken their Heavenly Dao runes . That was what made Shui Guanzhi, Zhao Wuji, Zhong Wuyan, and Yue Qianshan supreme existences in the Xuantian Dao Sect .
Their arrogance was natural . They didn’t place any rank one Celestials in their eyes, let alone Long Chen who wasn’t even a Celestial .
“Hehe, Long Chen really has struck an iron board . Shui Guanzhi has never been defeated by someone in the same realm . His water magical arts are something even late Sea Expansion experts are helpless against,” sneered one of the Shui family’s experts .
A rank two Celestial’s Heavenly Dao runes could help them activate magical arts . Through training, they would be able to unleash incredible power . Rank two Celestials could truly dominate the Sea Expansion realm . But rank one Xiantian Celestials were only able to fight the early Sea Expansion realm .
Amongst rank one Celestials, ninety-nine percent of them didn’t have any attributes . So the only thing they could depend on was their Heavenly Dao manifestations . But rank two Celestials were blessed by the Heavenly Daos and had higher chances of having an affinity with an element . That created a huge chasm between rank one and rank two Celestials .
So no matter how monstrous Long Chen was, no matter how heaven-defying he was, no one had a favorable opinion of his chances against a rank two Celestial .
Shui Yuncong smiled . Shui Guanzhi was a descendant of the Shui family, and that was much more dependable than an outsider . Just having Shui Guanzhi in the Shui family was enough . As for Long Chen, he would at most be fit to be Shui Guanzhi’s servant .
Of course, if Long Chen was willing to be Shui Guanzhi’s servant, he definitely wouldn’t mistreat him . But if Long Chen wasn’t willing, then there was no way around it . Shui Guanzhi would ruthlessly suppress him .
The sky did not have two suns . The people didn’t have two masters . A family couldn’t contain two pinnacle figures . One had to suppress the other .
Shui Yuncong glanced at Shui Wuhen . But seeing her cold smile made him furious . Shui Wuhen was becoming more and more unreliable . Since that was the case, then he would just allow Shui Guanzhi to properly beat Long Chen up .
As for Zhou Tianyi, his expression was calm, but he was laughing with delight inside . He had never expected that he wouldn’t even need Zhao Wuji to do anything . The Shui family’s own people were helping him out .
Zhou Tianyi hated Long Chen to the core . He hated him so much that he wished Long Chen would die in the trial . It was because of him that his Zhou family had lost so miserably .
The vice sect master frowned slightly . He was unable to understand what Long Chen was doing . He was clearly exceedingly powerful, but he still refused to release that power . Were all the youngsters these days so low-key?
“In front of me, you are just an ant . You are helpless against me . ” Shui Guanzhi continued to block Long Chen’s saber . Although Long Chen was constantly increasing his power, his water shield was dispelling it at the same time . Long Chen was just wasting his time . He was unable to threaten him .
“Is that so? Then I want to see whether or not I can threaten you . ”
Long Chen suddenly smiled . His saber fiercely cut down . What flabbergasted everyone was that Shui Guanzhi’s incomparably tenacious shield was directly cut apart .
Shui Guanzhi was dumbfounded . This was something that had never happened before . But before he could react, a hand came from a strange angle . It made an intimate connection with his handsome face .
POW!
