At some point, giant golden-maned lions appeared around Long Chen, surrounding him tightly.
"Damn, did I mess up a lion's den?" Long Chen was startled—the dozen or so giant golden lions around him were all of that caliber.
This made Long Chen's heart skip a beat. If it were just a Six-Meridian Emperor, he was ready to try—after all, if he couldn't win, he could run.
However, with a group of Six Vein Emperors present, Long Chen felt very uncomfortable. However, with a little lion in his hand, they hesitated and dared not act rashly.
At this moment, Long Chen was already stuck in a deadlock, stuck in a stalemate. The golden-manged lions kept roaring in anger, as if trying to express something to Long Chen, but they couldn't utter human language.
"If you don't want this little guy dead, then move aside. Otherwise, at worst, we'll fight to the bitter end." Long Chen shouted loudly.
"Fight to the death, you're overestimating yourself, you human brat!"
At that moment, an aged voice rang out, followed by an even stronger aura—another golden-haired lion approached.
The aura of this golden-haired lion was even more astonishing, but its fur had already faded, and its vitality was clearly insufficient. Clearly, this was an extremely old lion, likely running out of its lifespan.
As soon as the golden-haired lion appeared, the other lions hurriedly made way for it, clearly showing its high status.
Finally meeting someone who could speak human language, Long Chen immediately felt much more at ease. As long as we could communicate, nothing was a problem. Long Chen said calmly,
"Do you think I'm overestimating myself?" How about I kill it first and show you? "
Screech"
Long Chen suddenly squeezed his large hand hard, sending the power of the stars into the little lion's body, causing the little lion to grimace in pain and let out strange cries.
Long Chen's "courting death"
move instantly enraged all the Golden-Haired Lions. It was a bold provocation, and they almost simultaneously took a step forward.
But the moment they took a step forward, the lion cub in Long Chen's hand shuddered violently, and blood immediately gushed from its eyes, nose, and mouth. At that moment, the golden-haired lions were so frightened that they quickly took a step back.
"Don't play tricks with me. If you want it dead, just say so. I, Long Chen, don't need this bargaining chip." Faced with the threat from the Golden-Haired Lion clan, Long Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
If they dared to step forward any further, Long Chen would crush the little lion to death and then engage them in a bloody battle. Last time fighting the silver-haired Sky Fragment, Long Chen had been holding back his anger and was worried about where to vent. At the same time, he wanted to see how much his strength had improved after advancing to Saint King.
Seeing Long Chen's firm attitude, the golden-haired lions finally became afraid, because this little lion was the prodigy of their younger generation, raised as the future clan leader. If it died, the loss would be unbearable.
"What exactly do you mean? Our Golden Lion Clan and you humans keep to themselves. Are you trying to provoke a great war between the Golden Lion Clan and the Human Clan? The old lion looked at Long Chen, his voice filled with rage.
"Human?"
Long Chen's heart raced wildly upon hearing this. Could there be humans here too?
However, Long Chen forced a smile and said, "Don't try to scare me with this. Clearly, this little guy coveted the dragon blood on me and took the initiative to attack me."
How? Only your Golden Lion clan can kill others, but you can't fight back? If others retaliate, is that maliciously provoking war? Long
Chen's words left the old lion speechless. It said coldly, "Then what do you want?" Draw the next line! Let me remind you, what you hold is the future leader of our Golden Lion clan. If anything happens to him, I swear I will make all of you humans perish with you." "
Boom!"
As soon as the old lion finished speaking, Long Chen grabbed the little lion and smashed it hard into the ground. With a loud crash, the earth exploded, dust flew everywhere, and the little lion was knocked out by Long Chen's mouth until blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he passed out on the spot.
The old lion was furious: "You ...!"
"Boom boom!"
Long Chen swung the little lion and slammed it down twice more on the ground. The immense force caused the ground to collapse. The little lion was unlucky—Long Chen grabbed his vital spot, unable to resist at all. In such a weak state, It felt like it was falling apart.
"Come on, keep beeping. If you beep once, I'll knock it down until it dies." Long Chen looked at the old lion and said calmly.
The surrounding group of Golden Lion clan experts trembled with rage, wishing they could rush forward and tear Long Chen to pieces. But with the little lion in Long Chen's hands, they dared not make a move. They could only grit their teeth and endure, though their eyes were about to shoot fire.
Long Chen didn't care about any of this. This group of golden-haired lions was clearly no good. Even if he killed the little lion, he could just escape. Although the Qiankun Cauldron hadn't fully recovered yet, escaping with him shouldn't be a problem.
Although this group of golden-haired lions was terrifying, compared to the silver-haired Sky Void, they were still far behind. Since they wanted to play, Long Chen would play alongside them.
"What exactly do you want?" The old lion roared angrily, clearly about to be driven mad by Long Chen as well.
"If you don't want it dead, then all of you, get lost. Otherwise, I'll kill it right now!" Long Chen said coldly.
The old lion shouted angrily, "Impossible! "
Pfft"
Long Chen's large hand trembled, star power erupted, and the little lion in Long Chen's hand spat out a mouthful of blood. It struggled desperately, trying to call for help, but couldn't open its mouth. Its eyes were filled with terror.
"Since you want it dead, why say so much nonsense? I'll grant your wish." After Long Chen finished speaking, his large hand trembled violently.
"Buzz"—
On Long Chen's palm, stars swirled rapidly, violent starlight enveloping the little lion's entire body. Its body was visibly expanding at a speed, instantly swelling into a ball. Long Chen was about to use the power of the stars to force it apart.
"Stop, please, stop! We agree to all your terms." The old lion screamed in terror, finally submitting.
"Tch, what a despicable wretch! Get lost! If anyone dares to stop me, I'll kill this brat right away. Long Chen sneered.
With Long Chen's voice, the old lion let out a low growl at the other golden-furred lions, and only then did the golden-haired lions reluctantly make way.
Although the path was cleared, their eyes were already filled with fierce killing intent. Their hatred for Long Chen had run deep into their bones. If they seized the opportunity, they would tear Long Chen to pieces immediately.
Long Chen ignored them, tossed the golden-maned lion in his hand to the ground, and straddled its back. He said coldly to the little lion, "
If you don't want to die, take me to the human race. If you do, just say the word—I'll be there for you anytime."
The little golden-haired lion gritted its teeth, but it was already terrified by Long Chen's beating. To it, Long Chen was like a devil. Even though it knew it was embarrassing, it still had to grit its teeth and carry Long Chen away.
"Roar."
Watching Long Chen's departing figure, the Golden Lion clan experts let out thunderous roars, as if declaring something.
