long chen had only been rushing for an incense stick’s worth of time, and pill yang city was not yet in view, when he saw a group of people up ahead.

“long chen, are you alright?”

the people who had come were actually fang mingyuan and chai gaoyang. the two of them were leading a dozen sea expansion experts.

“haha, i’m fine. i just suffered some minor injuries. looking at your state, it seems everything went smoothly?” long chen smiled.

fang mingyuan said, “it went extremely well. that old fellow huo changsheng felt too secure in his position, thinking the huo family was still the same huo family of the past.

“over many years, we’ve established secret alliances with quite a few sects, and we’ve even bought some of the members of the huo family. with our coordination from inside and outside, the huo family was completely destroyed. out of their three thousand members, not one managed to escape.”

hearing that the huo family had been completely destroyed, long chen frowned slightly. although the huo family was trash, he still felt a bit unwell to hear that the women and children had also been killed.

“did you end up encountering huo wufang?” asked fang mingyuan.

“he ran. i ended up killing a few of his celestials, and the others got too scared to fight. i couldn’t catch up to them, and i was worried about what was happening, so i returned,” said long chen.

long chen didn’t want to expose too much of what had happened with huo wufang. furthermore, he had a bad feeling for some reason. perhaps it was because he felt uncomfortable with the huo family being exterminated to the last man.

“it’s fine if he got away. we’ll chase. without the huo family’s support, he’s just a random dog.” chai gaoyang smiled and walked up to long chen. he patted him on the shoulder. “long chen, it’s all thanks to you.”

“senior is too courteous. in truth”

pfft!

long chen suddenly felt a burst of pain from his chest. he saw a black thorn sticking out from it. space suddenly trembled and the surroundings changed. long chen found himself in a barren land.

chai gaoyang, who had previously been talking so amicably to him, now had a slightly cold expression. as for fang mingyuan, he retreated a bit, staring closely at long chen.

the other sea expansion experts also took out their weapons and surrounded long chen.

long chen looked down at the thorn through his chest. although he hadn’t seen where it had come from, based on the angle, it seemed like it had been fang mingyuan who had shot him.

this arrow was clearly poisoned. it was a kind of mixed poison, one with practically no cure. furthermore, this poison was extremely fast-acting. before you could even figure out what poisons were part of this mixture, you would already be dead.

long chen slowly raised his head to look at fang mingyuan. he sighed, “can you tell me why you did this?”

a slightly guilty expression appeared on fang mingyuan’s face. “long chen, don’t blame us for being heartless. we did this for our families.”

fang mingyuan and the others were all startled. dead? all of them? impossible! with that many celestials, even if they couldn’t kill him, they should have been able to run.

“the third matter is that the skeleton huo wufang merged with was special, and he is now a rank two celestial,” continued long chen.

“nonsense! if he was rank two celestial, how could you still be alive!?” roared chai gaoyang.

a rank two celestial was a terrifying existence. at the xiantian realm, they could match a late sea expansion expert.

“i’m alive, so he’s obviously dead,” said long chen.

“tch, impossible!”

long chen shrugged. “it’s up to you if you want to believe me. now it’s time for the fourth matter. this is also the last matter.

“i have to say goodbye to you all. in the other world, you can continue to fight huo changsheng. i hope you’ll still be the winners at that time.”

fang mingyuan and the others were surprised. more and more, they were unable to comprehend what long chen was saying. at the same time, a bad feeling rose in their hearts.

“his... his injury!”

suddenly, someone pointed at long chen’s chest. at some unknown point, the wound had completely healed without leaving the slightest scar.

in truth, long chen had been taking advantage of this time to circulate the primal chaos bead. endless life energy had erased the poison.

but this poison had truly been terrifying. long chen had almost exhausted all the life energy in the primal chaos space before recovering. but despite that, he had achieved his goal.

“attack!” ordered fang mingyuan. blazing flames erupted from his body, and a flame blade appeared in his hands. he was the first to attack long chen.

as soon as he attacked, he used his full strength. long chen gave him a strange feeling of terror. despite being a late sea expansion expert, he didn’t dare to be careless.

boom!

a huge divine ring appeared behind long chen. a terrifying pressure descended and suddenly a cold light slashed forth.

“split the heavens!”

the blade long chen was using wasn’t blooddrinker. it was something he had taken from a corrupt expert.

as soon as he attacked, there were eight sea expansion experts that didn’t even have time to react. they were directly blown apart by long chen’s attack.

fang mingyuan and the others’ hearts shook. they finally believed long chen’s words. but now it was too late. long chen had suddenly soared into the air, both hands holding his saber.

“split the heavens 2!”
