chapter 1663 netherpassage vs. netherpassage

it happened too suddenly, so suddenly that everyone was dazed. it felt like time was moving slow as they witnessed one of the most shocking sights of their lives.

long chen’s palm slapped across the middle-aged man’s face, and that dignified man was forced back several steps by the immense power. as for long chen, he used that force to retreat.

just as they separated, a powerful bolt of sword qi slashed through the space where the middle-aged man had just been. it was like a celestial blade, a blade of the starry sky. this attack had been to prevent the middle-aged man’s attack. however, it was one step too late, as the middle-aged man had already been slapped back.

long chen retreated a dozen steps, each of his steps causing the ground to crumble beneath him. although he was the one who had slapped the middle-aged man, the resulting backlash was still difficult for him to bear.

his left hand concealed a nail, which he silently put away. that was what he had originally prepared before he had sensed the sword qi.

a life and death domain might be able to restrict everyone else, but it wasn’t able to restrict him. he didn’t know if it was because he had entered purgatory, but this kind of life and death energy couldn’t bind him.

before, just to prepare himself, long chen had asked the old patriarch, a netherpassage expert, to use his life and death domain against him. at that time, long chen hadn’t been able to move a finger.

however, it was different this time. he didn’t know why, but this life and death energy wasn’t able to bind him in his place. therefore, long chen had acted like he was completely bound, just waiting for the middle-aged man to approach carelessly.

the middle-aged man was truly terrifying. long chen had prepared the nail from the gates of hell, however, just as he had been about to use it, he had changed ideas and switched to the slap that he was most proficient in.

long chen stabilized himself and looked up to see a woman standing in the air. her sword was still shining with divine light. that attack had come from her.

“greetings, alliance head!”

long chen smiled when he saw that woman and respectfully bowed. she was the head of the martial heaven alliance, qu jianying. she had attacked to force back the middle-aged man and save long chen.

however, qu jianying’s current expression was very strange. she had been planning to save long chen, but long chen’s slap was outside her expectations.

“die!” that middle-aged man’s dignified face immediately became filled with killing intent, and he pointed a finger.

a black and white spear shot out of it, prying apart the void. it was as if all the cosmos’s energy was concentrated within this spear, and the laws of life and death revolved around it. this middle-aged man was finally infuriated.

“alliance head, someone is trying to kill your disciple! you must stand up for your disciple!”

“is this true?” qu jianying was startled.

“long chen has already personally admitted to it. how could it be false?” sneered han wanchang.

“long chen, is it true?” qu jianying barked at long chen.

“well... i suppose... it’s possible... that it’s likely... maybe... true.” long chen didn’t know how to reply.

“you...!” qu jianying was enraged.

“let me first declare that they wanted to kill me, and i had no choice but to fight back. it was well within the bounds of self-defense.” long chen hastily expressed his innocence.

“tell us clearly! with no evil smile!” raged qu jianying.

only now did long chen narrate everything that had happened in the jade lake sacred land, including the trap that di xin and shen bijun had laid for him right from the start. when long chen had still managed to fight back, shen bijun had used devil music to control the southern xuan region’s experts to attack the pill fairy, tang wan-er, and the others. in the end, they had all died to his star fall.

“what nonsense! we only have your word and one side of the story. who could believe such a thing?!” roared an expert.

“it’s because you wouldn’t believe me that i didn’t say anything. however, since the alliance head ordered me, i had no choice.” long chen shrugged indifferently.

“you shameless bastard, you killed so many people and still want to act innocent?! you’re the most shameless bastard in this world!”

“the illusive music immortal palace is one of the protectors of the continent. they have a mission to protect the martial heaven continent, so how could they be so sinister? you definitely tried to kill someone for their treasures and then silenced others by killing them. long chen, how sinister! if you don’t die, the heavens won’t be able to rest!”

“we refuse to believe long chen’s one-sided story. furthermore, even if they were controlled, how could you kill the innocents? they had lost their minds, but you still killed them. how vicious is your heart? are you even human?”

the southern xuan region’s experts’ roars surged out in waves, each louder than the last.

“are you joking? they wanted to kill us. how did we become the vicious ones for killing them? you must have a mental illness!” liu ruyan couldn’t hold back any longer.

“slut, shut your mouth! we have to kill long chen as vengeance for those departed souls. otherwise, they’ll never be able to rest in peace. long chen must die!” liu ruyan’s words provoked those experts’ fury even further.

“i just knew that talking reasonably had no use. that’s why i couldn’t even be bothered to try. as i said before, either fight or fuck off.” long chen then turned to qu jianying. “alliance head, now you know what happened. i don’t like causing trouble, but i’m not afraid of trouble. no matter who tries to kill me, i will fight back with my full power. right now, as long as you can stall that fellow for one incense stick’s worth of time, i will make sure these noisy people never open their mouths again. alliance head, just give me the order!”

hearing that, those cursing experts immediately shut their mouths. it felt like a blade was pressed against their throats. everyone was deathly silent.
