When Mo Bo spoke, Chu Zhentian and the others were immediately put in a difficult position. On one hand, they didn’t dare to offend these people from the World King Palace. On the other, they didn’t want Long Chen to be captured by them without just cause.
Tuoba Jin was also deeply conflicted, unsure of what to do.
Only Shangguan Yuan wore a smug smile. Now that the World King Palace was involved, avenging Shangguan Pojun would be much easier, with far fewer consequences to consider.
Long Chen saw the predicament Chu Zhentian and Tuoba Jin were in. He immediately turned to Mo Bo’s group and said coldly, "This matter started because of me. It has nothing to do with the Martial Ancestor."
"Direct it all at me. I, Long Chen, am not afraid. I’ll take whatever you’ve got."
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Chen retreated, trying to leave their vicinity to avoid dragging the Martial Ancestor into this thorny affair.
"Where do you think you’re going!" Seeing Long Chen attempt to leave, the men from the World King Palace immediately gave chase.
One of the men glared at Long Chen and snarled, "Surrender obediently!"
Long Chen paid him no heed.
Displeasure crossed the faces of the men from the World King Palace.
They were incredibly fast. WHOOSH! In a flash, they appeared before Long Chen, blocking his path.
Another man sneered, "Kid, if you don’t want to be tortured, you’d better do as I say! Otherwise, I guarantee you’ll suffer excruciating pain!"
"Noisy!" Unwilling to listen to any more of their nonsense, Long Chen swung his sword at them.
An exceedingly dazzling flash of cold light burst forth!
Everything blurred before the eyes of the four men from the World King Palace. Before they could even react, Long Chen had already closed the distance with his incredible speed.
Just as Long Chen’s attack was about to land, the four men from the World King Palace scrambled to dodge.
Immediately after, they drew their own Sharp Swords and thrust wildly at Long Chen!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Several beams of sword light shot out in all directions. The air distorted and seemed to explode from the impacts.
Fortunately, these men were mere lackeys and posed no real threat to Long Chen.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Long Chen quickly gathered his power and swung his sword. An overwhelmingly powerful force surged forward!
The expressions of the two men from the World King Palace changed drastically, their eyes bulging as wide as bronze bells as a searing pain shot through their abdomens.
Looking down, the two men were utterly dumbfounded. Blood gushed from a wound across their abdomens. A moment later, their bodies slid apart, each split clean in two.
The scene was horrifically gory.
Everyone who witnessed this was left completely dumbfounded.
No one could have imagined that Long Chen would actually attack members of the World King Palace. Such audacity! At this point, not even the greatest of immortals could save him.
"Is that all?" Long Chen remarked, his gaze indifferent. "Such trash. For every one you bring, I’ll slay one."
"You bastard! Don’t you get cocky!" Ma Cheng shouted, eager to make a name for himself. "I’ll deal with you personally! Let’s see how you get past me!"
"Why bother dealing with an ant yourself?" Mo Bo said with a faint smile, not giving Long Chen a second thought. "What just happened was merely an appetizer. The real show is just beginning."
Then, he snapped his fingers, and the two men behind him once again advanced on Long Chen.
This time, two experts at the Fourth Level of the War King Realm were joining forces. He refused to believe they couldn’t handle Long Chen!
