After hearing Long Chen’s words, Shangguan Pojun and Su Miaoyu were slightly taken aback. They exchanged glances before bursting into derisive laughter.
"You want to issue a life-and-death duel to me?" Shangguan Pojun pointed at Long Chen, then at himself.
"That’s right." Long Chen nodded, his expression cold.
Shangguan Pojun sneered with contempt. "Fine. Since you’re so eager to court death, I’ll make you understand the meaning of regret."
Su Miaoyu also let out a chuckle. They were well aware that Long Chen would inevitably challenge them to a life-and-death duel after becoming a First-class Disciple. They just hadn’t anticipated he would issue the challenge so soon.
Long Chen spoke indifferently, "There’s no better time than the present. Let’s settle this in the life-and-death arena."
Seeing Long Chen’s confident demeanor, Su Miaoyu found it rather unusual.
Where does he get this confidence?
Su Miaoyu cautiously said, "We have important matters to attend to for the next few days, so we’ll let you live a little longer. In three days, we will ensure you die in the arena."
"Boy, we’ll give you three more days to live. Cherish what little time you have left," Shangguan Pojun chimed in. "When the time comes, you’ll be a corpse. No, I’ll grind your bones to dust and make sure you have no place to be buried!" With that said, he turned and left with Su Miaoyu.
Watching them leave, Long Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly as a bone-chilling cold emanated from his body.
Chen Yao reminded him, "Are you prepared?"
"Shangguan Pojun is a disciple of the Grand Elder of the Earth Court, and he has the backing of the Shangguan Family Clan. Dealing with him won’t be as simple as you think."
"I don’t care who’s backing him. He and Su Miaoyu must die!"
Seeing Long Chen’s unwavering resolve, Chen Yao sighed softly and said no more. She knew very well why he had been cultivating so diligently. He wanted to become a First-class Disciple so he could one day challenge Su Miaoyu and Shangguan Pojun to a life-and-death duel and avenge his deep-seated hatred.
"Deacon, I’ll take my leave now," Long Chen said to Chen Yao before returning to his room to cultivate with the Mirror Breaking Pill and the other precious herbs.
After Shangguan Pojun and Su Miaoyu left, Su Miaoyu asked, "Brother Po Jun, have you arranged for the men?"
"Rest assured, I’ve already made contact. They can move out tomorrow."
"The Long Family is destined for a bloodbath!"
Hearing this, Su Miaoyu revealed a sinister smile. "Perfect."
"As long as we capture his father, our plan for the life-and-death duel in three days will be foolproof! Then, Long Chen will be nothing but an ant for us to crush."
「Two days passed.」
Long Chen was using the Mirror Breaking Pill to break through to the War Ancestor Realm, completely unaware of the crisis engulfing his family in Dragon City.
「Dragon City, Long Family Estate」
A group of men in black suddenly poured in from outside, slaughtering everyone on sight!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Sword light flashed, and numerous Long Family members collapsed into pools of blood. Agonized screams echoed throughout the vast estate.
Long Dou and the other Long Family elders were in the main hall. When they heard the commotion outside, their expressions instantly grew stiff and grave. They all rose to their feet and rushed outside.
