“lei long, don’t make a fuss.” long chen pulled off lei long, not letting it mess around.

he knew that lei long was angry that he had unleashed the divine lightning in its stomach to send the seven string sea suppressing zither flying and defeat shen bijun.

long chen might be refreshed at unleashing that trump card, but lei long was very dissatisfied. that divine light was his food. recently, it had become capable of directly absorbing that energy and had been growing stronger day by day.

long chen had used its food to attack. that aggrieved lei long, so it wrapped around long chen to express its anger.

“alright, alright. i just used a third of it, so you still have plenty of food! i guarantee i won’t touch the rest of it!” promised long chen.

only then did lei long stop fussing and return to long chen’s body.

long chen’s yuan spirit returned to his main body. however, he didn’t merge back with it but instead charged into di xin’s heavy water domain and launched a punch at him.

di xin stabbed his water-thorn onto long chen’s fist only to get knocked back, shocked.

“how can your yuan spirit be so powerful?!” roared di xin furiously as he coughed up a mouthful of blood. there were cases of spirit transformation experts sending out their yuan spirit to fight, but he had never heard of someone’s yuan spirit being able to fight against a divine item barehanded.

normally, yuan spirits were only able to assist the main body and form some hand seals for magical arts.

in truth, the yuan spirit was a final trump card, usually only used when the physical body was destroyed. even if a yuan spirit was extremely powerful, it was also a fatal weakness.

“you hate me so much? well, i only hate you for one thing. i hate you for being an arrogant idiot with an unchanging poser act. people like you think that as soon as you’re born, you’re a supreme existence that others must revere and worship. if someone doesn’t worship you, it’s disrespectful and blasphemy, so it depends on your mood whether to torment them or even take their lives. as for this unchanging poser act with absolutely no skill, that’s even more detestable. i feel like it should be you who dies instead,” said long chen tranquilly.

he had seen many people from the eastern wasteland to the central plains that were just like this. he didn’t know where these people’s superiority complex came from.

were their parents and elders all fools to raise such arrogant people? they were like pigs. so what if you raised them up to be bigger? was it so they could cook them into a delicious meal eventually? he really couldn’t figure out the point of these people. did being a poser all day show their brilliance?

“are you jealous? hahaha!” di xin laughed delightedly. “the strong are respected, while the weak can only be slaves to the strong. that’s the only way for them to survive. what’s wrong with that? i, di xin, have an illustrious status, as well as an exceptional talent. as for my looks, i’m miles ahead of you. what qualifications do you have to compare to me? you could kill shen bijun because you have information that can be used against her, but do you dare to kill me? if you kill me, let alone you and your wives, even your sect and families will be eradicated to the last. do you dare?”

long chen looked at di xin with a hint of hesitation. “in truth, i can’t confirm if i dare to or not. how about you show me your neck and let’s test that theory right now?”

“you...!” di xin almost choked. he roared, “do you think i’m as stupid as you?! i’m telling you, you don’t have the power to kill me! in fact, you’ll all die here at my hands! the only reason i’m telling you this much is so that you’ll understand just how foolish you are.”

di xin suddenly formed a hand seal. his heavy water domain began to boil as a huge mass of figures appeared.

those figures were silver fish. each of them was fist-sized, but their head took up two-thirds of their body. their mouths were lined with sharp teeth.

there were tens of thousands of these strange fish. they rapidly swam forward like a bolt of silver lightning at long chen.

long chen’s true body slashed its saber. however, his power was impacted by the heavy water domain, and his saber-image only caused a metallic ringing sound when it struck the silver fish. they were completely unharmed.

one of them shot toward him and immediately bit down on his arm. long chen felt a burst of pain. his skin was as tough as an ancestral item but was still penetrated by these teeth. his arm began to bleed.

“hahaha, these are life-devouring silverfish! they’re a mutant species whose bodies are stronger than metal. furthermore, they are immune to lightning, so don’t even think of using your thunderforce against them. they eat precious ores to grow, making their teeth even sharper than ancestral items. these life-devouring silverfish are something my family raised off the embryo of a dead life-devouring silverfish. they spent endless time and money on them. including now, i’ve only used them three times. the two previous times were when i encountered enemies even stronger than you, but they were still devoured by the life-devouring silverfish. as for you, you’ll be the third. i want to personally see you be torn apart along with your yuan spirit, hahaha! magical water devours the heavens!” di xin laughed and his manifestation vanished. his heavy water domain was enveloped by seven consecutive waves of divine light. he was clearly concentrating all his power on strengthening the binding of the heavy water domain so that long chen couldn’t escape.

“idiot, if it weren’t for shen bijun, you’d have long since died.” long chen was indifferent to di xin’s actions. he was also indifferent to these life-devouring silverfish. his yuan spirit merged back with his true body. he waved his hand, and a black sphere of water appeared in his head. terrifying nether qi spread.
