chapter 5317 a greeting gift
cheng ye was ripped apart in midair as long chen and elder lu pulled at him through space. unable to withstand the force, his body was torn in two.
“you... you brute! how vicious! why did you kill him? what sin did he commit for you to kill him so cruelly, not even leaving him an intact corpse!?” long chen pointed at elder lu, cursing him in mock outrage, as if heartbroken over cheng ye’s demise.
elder lu nearly passed out from sheer fury. he had intended to save cheng ye by pulling him back, but he hadn’t anticipated the overwhelming strength of long chen’s pull. elder lu had believed he could overpower long chen and rescue cheng ye with ease. unfortunately, long chen’s power was too great. but in any case, it wasn’t a complete failure. at least, he had managed to pull back half of cheng ye.
hearing long chen shift the blame onto him after tearing cheng ye apart, elder lu seethed in fury, his face twisting with rage. if qing xi hadn’t been so nervous, she might have laughed at the absurdity of the situation.
boom!
three emperor runes appeared on elder lu’s forehead as he unleashed his full power as a three-vein emperor. from that first exchange, he could sense that long chen was no ordinary opponent, so he couldn’t afford to be careless.
when he drew the sword on his back, flames burst out, its intense heat igniting the sky.
seeing this scene, the wang family’s experts cried out in shock and quickly retreated. they hadn’t expected elder lu to immediately use his divine weapon—a flame element divine weapon that gave off an incinerating heat.
they had assumed elder lu could easily crush long chen, but here he was, using his full power and even summoning his divine weapon right from the start.
elder lu’s emperor qi locked onto long chen, and even though qing xi wasn’t the target, she felt suffocated by the overwhelming pressure. she turned pale. it was her first time facing such a terrifying opponent.
unfazed, long chen turned to qing xi and said, “qing xi, for our first meeting, it would be rude of me not to offer you a gift.”
qing xi was completely baffled. this wasn’t the time to talk about such nonsense, right?
however, qing xi quickly responded, “senior apprentice-brother long chen, the medicinal pill you gave me is the most precious thing i’ve ever received.”
pow!
a large hand slapped elder lu in the face, sending him spinning back to where he started. dazed, he barely stabilized himself when long chen’s finger shot forward, piercing his forehead.
“soulsearch!” long chen shouted, unleashing his spiritual strength. in an instant, elder lu’s soul shattered, and long chen quickly scanned through the fragments.
through this soulsearch, long chen learned that the wang family was the overlord of this region, which was located at the border between the heaven essence world and the endless desolation. due to the chaotic clash of auras between the two worlds, this area was a treasure trove of mutated demonic beasts and rare medicinal ingredients for adventurers.
the wang family, as the region’s most powerful force, often sent their disciples to hunt for these resources. in particular, they loved to snatch the young cubs and eggs of mutated demonic beasts. after all, these beasts held immense potential for growth and could even awaken new divine abilities. they were the coveted companions of countless experts.
as for mutated medicinal ingredients, there was even less to be said about them. they possessed a fatal attraction to any alchemist.
this wilderness was unsuitable for human cultivation, so not many cultivators resided here. however, because half of the wang family’s territory lay in this lawless zone, adventurers had to register with them to explore the region. this allowed those shitheads to monitor—and often kill—adventurers who stumbled upon valuable treasures. rumors spread over time, resulting in many adventurers avoiding this place.
not knowing any better, qing xi had run over here to complete her mission without a proper investigation. if she had gone to the wang family first and registered, the wang family wouldn’t have stopped her. in fact, to suck up to the wind god sea pavilion, they would have helped her out.
from elder lu’s memories, long chen confirmed that the wang family’s reputation was as sinister as rumored. backed by an ancestor who was a nine-vein human emperor, they ruled their territory without scruples or honor. upon learning that they were not good people, long chen was fully at ease.
with a swift pull, long chen withdrew his hand, and elder lu’s lifeless body crumpled to the ground.
the remaining experts paled in terror. a three-vein emperor had been slain by long chen in a single blow, so what chance did they have?
without hesitation, these experts fled for their lives. long chen didn’t pursue them. instead, he called out arrogantly, his voice ringing across the battlefield.
“boss long san will be waiting! go fetch your ancestor! let’s see if a nine-vein emperor is really so formidable. i’ll tear off his head and use it as a chamberpot!”
