The super prodigy Weng Tianyao was dead, crushed by Long Chen's crush. The endless thunder power within him surged like dazzling fireworks, roaring throughout the grand hall.
On Long Chen's body, a phantom of a thunder dragon appeared. Its huge mouth opened wide, absorbing all the thunder in the hall. When all the thunder vanished, it vanished as well.
Weng Tianyao had vanished, his soul completely destroyed, and even his energy absorbed by Lei Ling'er. Weng Tianyao's master trembled all over, unable to believe that Long Chen actually dared to kill Weng Tianyao.
A divine light surged in Yu Xiaoyun's eyes, and a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Long Chen's domineering attitude finally brought him a hint of joy—this was the spirit a man should have.
"Long ... Chen ..."
Weng Tianyao's master roared, his figure suddenly flickering as he lunged straight at Long Chen. The violent pressure was like a vast sky, and a withered claw slashed down at Long Chen's face.
Long Chen gripped the Minghong Blade, ready to fight with all his might. Suddenly, his body relaxed, as a figure appeared before him—it was Yu Xiaoyun, the Vermilion Bird Emperor.
Yu Xiaoyun extended his large hand to block Master Weng Tianyao's strike. There was no explosion, no surging shockwave. The entire hall trembled slightly, as the overwhelming power of Master Weng Tianyao's overwhelming force was actually absorbed by the entire hall.
"Smack!"
At that moment, Long Chen released his large hand on the Minghong Blade and struck Master Weng Tianyao hard across the face.
Not to mention that Weng Tianyao's master was completely focused on Yu Xiaoyun at the time. Even with all his concentration, he might not have been able to dodge this strike.
Long Chen slapped with a well-prepared move, swinging his arm in a rounded motion and using as much force as possible.
With a loud bang, Weng Tianyao's master crashed into the wall like a meteor.
"Boom!"
The entire hall shook, runes flickering continuously. In the end, the hall remained unharmed, while Weng Tianyao's master was slapped against the wall by Long Chen, his entire body slammed flat, hanging like a mural.
When a powerful figure from the Purple Thunder Empire tried to tear him off the wall—yes, tear him off—Weng Tianyao's master had a deformed head.
It looked like a toad run under a wheel, almost unrecognizable in its original form, its flat body still bearing many runes.
Those runes were all from the hall's walls. When subjected to severe impact, the hall was created to protect itself and reach its strongest state.
Weng Tianyao's master had already fainted, and the faces of the other nation's experts changed. They couldn't understand how Long Chen's slap could possess such terrifying power.
In fact, Long Chen's power was terrifying, but no matter how terrifying, he still couldn't compare to a Sanhua-level Earth Venerable at his peak.
But Long Chen had just seized the opportunity. When Weng Tianyao's master, all his power was transferred by Yu Xiaoyun to the main hall, just as his old strength had faded and new power had yet to emerge.
At this moment, he was at his weakest, essentially out of combat mode. But Long Chen's rounded slap didn't hold back at all—all his power landed squarely on his face, not wasting a single moment.
This is what it means for a three-flower-level Earth Venerable to activate the Three Flowers Protection at a critical moment. If it were someone else, they would have been slapped to pieces long ago.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? We're guests from afar, and you're going too far. The powerful warriors of the Purple Thunder Empire shouted loudly, both shocked and furious, filled with fear.
He was afraid that Yu Xiaoyun, in a fit of rage, might act in a fit of rage and kill them. This was the Vermilion Bird Imperial Capital—if he activated the killing array, all of them would die.
The reason they dared to be so arrogant was because they had anticipated that the Vermilion Bird Empire would not resort to violence against them. But now that the emperor had made a move, they were all terrified.
Yu Xiaoyun snorted coldly, just about to speak, when his eyes suddenly shifted to Long Chen:
"You come and reason with them."
After Yu Xiaoyun finished speaking, he returned to his seat, as if nothing had happened.
For a moment, everyone was stunned, even Long Chen was stunned. What was this father-in-law up to?
But Jiang Huixin and Xu Lanxin showed strange expressions on their faces. They exchanged glances, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.
But Long Chen didn't care about that. Looking at the delegations before him, he sneered, "Too much?" How could you be bullying me? A guest from afar? Does being a guest have anything to do with distance? Are you guests? Don't you have any sense of what you want?
What are you all doing here? Mockery? Forced? Rude? Pressure? Testing? How? You've bullied us to the point of being home, and others still want to support you? "
Honestly, when have we ever mocked, pressured, acted arrogantly, or pressured the Vermilion Bird Empire?" A Sanhua-level Earth Sovereign shouted angrily.
"Reasoning?" When we reason with you, you talk to me about fists; now that I'm talking about fists, you have to reason again.
When we were reasoning, you acted like bosses, but now I'm acting arrogant with you, and you're acting like mere losers again.
I'm not that idiotic Master Sun, and not a single person here is spineless. Your childish schemes and tricks—better cut them down. With your intelligence, you're still playing a scheme of sow discord? Aren't you afraid of making people laugh their teeth off?
Peace between nations has never been achieved through begging, nor by reasoning; true peace in the world comes from mutual respect and gratitude.
So, you want to force the Vermilion Bird Empire to leave Long and test their attitude and strength.
You eight great empires are not here as guests, but to force a palace attack. If the Vermilion Bird backs down and tolerates, you will only become more aggressive.
If the Vermilion Bird Empire shows a tough stance, you will unite against it under the pretext of the Vermilion Bird threat. To put it bluntly, unless the Vermilion Bird Empire continues to tolerate it, you will ultimately have an excuse to unite against it. Long Chen sneered.
"Nonsense! We never had such intentions; you made this up out of thin air." An elder shouted angrily.
"Do you dare swear by your Sanhua Vision?" Long Chen said coldly.
"You ...," the old man was instantly speechless.
The Three Flowers reach the heavens, and heaven cannot be deceived. This is one of the most effective oaths. Human words can communicate with heaven and earth, and heaven and earth serve as witnesses. Those who break their oath will not receive a good end. Therefore, no Three Flowers Earth Venerable would make such a poisonous oath.
The old man's face was flushed and his neck bulging. In his panic, he didn't know how to respond. His expression confirmed Long Chen's words. The princes and princesses present were burning with rage—this was truly outrageous bullying.
"Your Majesty, is this the attitude of your Vermilion Bird Empire?"
The elder of the Tianxi Empire said with a dark expression, "Could it be that the Vermilion Bird Empire really intends to confront the Eight Great Empires in arms?" Aren't you afraid that the Vermilion Bird Empire will be erased from the mortal world from now on? "
Hahaha..."
Yu Xiaoyun suddenly laughed loudly toward the sky, and after laughing, a cold murderous intent spread across his face:
"If you want to fight, I'll go with you. How about that?"
"Okay!" Alright! Alright! The
elder of the Tianxi Empire said three times of approval, then finally exchanged a glance with all the Earth Venerable-level experts. The experts from each delegation stood up, their faces dark as they left. The grand hall returned to its former calm.
