chapter 1645 catching one

just as long chen rushed over to tang wan-er, he noticed that the invisible blades in this space didn’t react to his presence.

“long chen, wait!” shouted meng qi suddenly. long chen immediately stopped. “wan-er should be in the midst of an inheritance. her soul is in a different world right now, so she can’t hear us. however, her wind soul mark has appeared on her forehead.”

long chen saw a mark on tang wan-er’s forehead, which represented her wind energy. her soul was in a calm state. there wasn’t anything strange about her right now.

when she had coughed up blood, everyone’s nerves had tightened, resulting in long chen charging out. however, now he saw that her fresh blood was entering the sphere, almost like a seed germinating within it.

seeing this, long chen relaxed. it had really been frightening just now.

“long chen, we’ll guard this place. you can find an opportunity somewhere else,” proposed meng qi.

“me? i’m not good at finding opportunities, but i’m decent at snatching them.” long chen shook his head. he would never have this kind of good luck, of that he was sure.

“you can’t put it that way. although the jade lake venerate’s main inheritance was the four kinds of elemental energy, there are others as well. furthermore, you’re a flame cultivator, so you should have an affinity with the fire inheritance. with the four of us guarding wan-er, no one can get close, so don’t worry,” said meng qi.

long chen hesitated. “i’m just worried about di xin and shen bijun. shen bijun is especially sinister and difficult to deal with. i don’t want you falling for one of her schemes.”

“even if shen bijun comes, we have four people here. she won’t have an advantage,” said meng qi confidently.

“just go. i’m here, and even if shen bijun comes, she won’t be able to harm any one of us. i’ll be the one killing her. her zither music is ineffective against me,” said liu ruyan indifferently.

liu ruyan wasn’t a human. she was an undying willow, and her senses were different from humans. shen bijun’s music was truly unable to do anything to her.

“alright, then i’ll go for a stroll. be careful.” long chen nodded. liu ruyan’s promise was very relieving.

in truth, the one he was most worried about was shen bijun. she was too sinister. the most frightening thing wasn’t someone suicidal, but someone absolutely shameless. those people were the most difficult to deal with.

however, liu ruyan’s power was the greatest amongst them, and with her undying body, she should be able to fight even one on one against shen bijun.

he exited the palace and looked around at the surrounding giant palaces. he felt himself to be an ant crawling around in an imperial palace.

he left a spiritual mark on this palace so that he could return as fast as possible if he needed to. he then went in a random direction. he knew that with his bad luck, rather than running into a lucky opportunity, he’d more likely run into a deathtrap. he was most interested in seeing if he could catch di xin and his group.

those fellows were all empyreans with great luck. stalking them might get him some benefits.

the fact that tang wan-er had instantly found her inheritance made him sigh about how people really had different fates. he was someone whose opportunities had to be won through risking his life against other experts, and if he did manage to win it, it would become like a slippery loach in muddy water. then if he did catch it still, it would become a viper and bite him.

wang shan was appalled as long chen’s speed was too great. he was unable to bring out any of his power against long chen. he couldn’t even summon his manifestation.

his head was muddled. however, he did his best to focus and also circulated his dantian. he had to summon his manifestation, or in a clash of just physical strength, he couldn’t possibly win.

however, just as his dantian was circulating, he felt a burst of pain. a finger was pointed at his forehead. he saw long chen’s ice-cold eyes looking at him like he was a god of death.

“i said that i could take your life in ten exchanges. it seems i overestimated you,” sneered long chen. he had overestimated the southern xuan region’s so-called heavenly geniuses. so they were nothing more than a pack of idiots. even summoning their heavenly dao energy took them so much time, and yet they dared to get so close to their enemies.

he had captured him without requiring any effort. wang shan hadn’t even had a chance to unleash any of his power before being defeated just like this.

it could only be said that wang shan’s battle experience only came from martial competitions of exchanging pointers. he hadn’t fought any life and death battles. such a person, no matter how strong they became, would never be more than a slightly stronger pig. when they ran into a butcher, they would instantly be slain.

perhaps the southern xuan region was just too peaceful, which resulted in such an idiot being born. compared to hu xiaolin, jin mingwei, and the others whom long chen had fought in the grand han, wang shan’s actual power was around the same level, but his real fighting experience wasn’t worth a fart.

“long chen, don’t kill me! i know many secrets that i can tell you! i know that shen bijun and di xin have joined hands! they-”

long chen coldly looked at wang shan. lightning suddenly circulated around his finger. wang shan’s body stiffened.

a sharp dagger clattered to the ground. that dagger sparkled with seven differently-colored runes.

those seven different runes contained terrifying power. it was an incredible one-time killing tool. once stabbed into a person’s body, those runes would explode, killing whoever was stabbed.

“what an idiot. to use such a flashy dagger to assassinate me, did you think i was blind or stupid?” long chen’s lips curled into a disdainful sneer. this wang shan was really stupid.

to use such a bright object as a sneak attack, it was probably something only a pampered young master would think of. a normal person wouldn’t be so stupid.

“heavens!”

long chen had just slain wang shan when several other experts of the southern xuan region appeared, looking at long chen with shock.

when long chen turned to look at them, they immediately fled in terror. long chen ignored them. he grabbed wang shan’s spatial ring and saw a small mountain of spirit crystals in it. there should be hundreds of thousands of them. there were also quite a few weapons and other treasures that he didn’t look through closely. he tossed the ring and the jade tablet into the primal chaos space. he’d look through them later.

just like that, long chen patted his butt and continued. although his luck wasn’t good, who said a blind cat couldn’t find a mouse?

after over two hours of searching, he didn’t run into any opportunities as this place was too big. he also didn’t make any gains. there were even several times he encountered hidden mechanisms that injured him.

just as long chen was flying around like a headless housefly, he heard a loud roar, and a surge of flames appeared in the distance. he immediately looked over.

“damn, i finally know what kind of flame it is!” exclaimed long chen, delighted.
