Long Chen raised his large hand and grabbed Liao Yong's long sword.
At first, the sword was like a roaring hungry wolf, its momentum devouring the sky. Now, in Long Chen's hand, it was like a docile puppy, not daring to utter a sound.
The world fell silent. Countless powerful figures opened their mouths wide, unable to believe their eyes.
Even a dual-vein Human Emperor-level expert would have to withstand Liao Yong's strike with all his might; one wrong move could result in serious injury.
Yet Long Chen grabbed the sword barehanded. Most terrifyingly, all the power attached to Liao Yong's strike was silently dissolved by Long Chen.
Taking a hit isn't hard, but to silently dissolve the opponent's power, you need at least ten times their strength to do so.
What shocked people most was that Long Chen took Liao Yong's strike without moving his arm, not even a single strand of his hair fluttered.
"Tick-tock tick-tock... Sweat
appeared on Liao Yong's forehead, slowly dripping down his forehead onto the floor. The sound was soft, but in the silence of the ring, everyone present could hear it clearly.
Only now did Liao Yong realize just how terrifying Long Chen's strength truly was. When he struck Long Chen's palm with his sword, the power he was most confident in vanished without a trace like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
At this moment, facing Long Chen was like facing an endless sea of stars. He seemed so insignificant, and this strike completely shattered his confidence. He knew the gap between him and Long Chen was a despairing gap, a gap that could never be bridged even after ten lifetimes.
"Thud!"
To everyone's shock, Liao Yong suddenly lost all support and actually knelt down before Long Chen.
"Do you want to die or live?" Long Chen asked.
"I want to live!" Liao Yong shuddered all over and hurriedly said.
His longsword was still in Long Chen's hand. Through the sword, he sensed Long Chen's killing intent. At that moment, the threat of death surged in his heart. He was terrified, his instinct for life forcing him to submit.
"When did you betray Tianyu City?" Long Chen asked.
As soon as Long Chen said this, the whole room was shocked. They stared at Liao Yong in disbelief, never expecting him to be a traitor.
"I'm ...," Liao Yong had just begun.
"Liao Yong, how dare you betray Tianyu City? Go to hell!"
At that moment, a furious shout rang out as a four-meridian Human Emperor appeared on the arena and struck Liao Yong's head with a palm.
"Smack" However,
the four-branch Human Emperor was fast, and Long Chen acted even faster. A giant hand covered in stars struck the man's face first. The man clearly hadn't expected Long Chen's reaction to be so swift. Before his hand could touch Liao Yong, Long Chen slapped him away with a single slap.
"Boom!"
The four-branch Human Emperor expert was sent flying by Long Chen's slap, crashing hard into the edge of the arena. With a loud explosion, the edge of the arena was smashed to dust.
Long Chen slapped the Four Veins Human Emperor with a slap, smashing half his head and rolling far away. The scene caused the assembled experts to gasp in shock.
Long Chen's slap was infused with the power of the stars. The experts here were all immortal cultivators, their spells extremely powerful, but their bodies extremely fragile.
Even a four-vein Human Emperor-level expert couldn't withstand Long Chen's star power, let alone that he only wanted to silence him. He hadn't expected Long Chen to come after him, and was nearly killed by Long Chen's slap.
"Long Chen, you've got some nerve, completely disregarding our Tianyu City. Guards, seize Long Chen. If you resist, kill him without mercy." Seeing Long Chen severely injure the powerful figure with a single slap, Chi Feng flew into a rage. With a fierce shout, dozens of powerful figures charged at Long Chen at once.
These dozens of experts were all core powerhouses of Tianyu City, powerful enough to have long prepared to ambush Long Chen. Dozens of divine lights slashed straight toward the arena where Long Chen stood.
"Rumble...
All attacks came from different angles, sealing off all of Long Chen's escape routes. The terrifying divine light instantly engulfed the entire arena.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion erupted, all the attacks converged, causing the entire Tianyu City to tremble, sand flying everywhere, waves of energy rolling violently. At that moment, all the powerful figures present were stunned.
Everything happened so suddenly. It was supposed to be the decisive battle between Long Chen and Liao Yong, yet the Four Veins Emperor intervened. The people hadn't yet recovered from the shock of the Four Veins Emperor being smashed off half by Long Chen's slap, and with a combined strike, they were completely stunned.
"What?"
When the dust settled and everyone thought Long Chen and Liao Yong had been smashed to dust, endless thunder surged, arcs of lightning poured down, and a beautiful young girl appeared above Long Chen, holding up a thunder barrier.
That girl was Lei Ling'er. Her jade-like hand stretched out at the Thunder Realm, carrying vast imperial might, yet this imperial might was condensed yet unleashed, gathering rather than dispersing.
After enduring the Human Emperor Tribulation, Lei Ling'er absorbed a vast amount of Heavenly Tribulation power. At this moment, she possessed the might of a Human Emperor, truly a Human Emperor realm powerhouse.
These people wanted to kill Long Chen, but they never imagined that Long Chen would have such a terrifying expert protecting him.
Inside the Thunder Barrier, Liao Yong, kneeling on the ground, trembled all over. Even if he was dumb, he knew that Chifeng and the others wanted to kill him along with him to silence him. He roared:
"You actually want me dead? Fine, then none of you will live. That's right, I betrayed Tianyu City, but it was all arranged by you, Chifeng. You are the biggest traitor of Tianyu City."
Liao Yong was also going all out. Since he was going to die anyway, it was better to drag a few people down with him. If chaos broke out in Tianyu City, he still had a slim chance to escape.
As soon as Liao Yong said this, the powerful figures present erupted in an uproar. Liao Yong shouted, "Everyone who attacked has betrayed Tianyu City and defected to Jiang Yiming. They want to overthrow Tianyu City and offer the entire city to Jiang Yiming, to the Stone Spirit clan." "
Liao Yong, you're slandering us! We never sided with Deputy Clan Leader Jiang..." a dual-vein Human Emperor shouted.
But this guy was a pig-headed. Because he had secretly met Jiang Yiming in the Stone Spirit clan before, he even called out how he was addressed. At that moment, everything was like lice on a bald head—obvious.
At that moment, the strong warriors of Tianyu City felt as if the sky had fallen. The city guardian had actually betrayed Tianyu City and defected to Jiang Yiming. Was there still hope for Tianyu City?
The powerful figures present burned with rage. Each of them gripped their weapons, gritting their teeth as they glared at Chifeng and the others. Seeing danger, Chifeng flickered and tried to escape.
"Pfft!"
Just as he moved, a pitch-black long blade stabbed into his back, protruding from his chest.
