a grand rank five celestial had been captured in just one move. this toppled all their understanding of heavenly geniuses.
in truth, this result was not because long chen was too powerful, but simply that han yunshan was too stupid. long chen practically hadn’t had to do anything.
han yunshan’s ice blade truly had been powerful, practically capable of freezing even space. it was on the same level as the double dragon destruction, which was enough to show how powerful it was.
but this idiot had no battle experience at all. after releasing this one move, he had just waited in anticipation to see long chen on his last breaths. as a result, long chen knocked him unconscious with a single punch.
for a cultivator to be this stupid, long chen’s eyes were truly opened to the world. it was his first time admiring someone so much.
“everyone, prepare to cross the lake. we have a boat now.”
long chen dragged the unconscious han yunshan over to the lake. with one foot on his dantian, ice qi rapidly condensed over the lake.
under the control of long chen’s spiritual strength, a three-hundred-meter ice boat rapidly formed over the lake. it floated calmly on the surface of the water, and han yunshan was the core at the bottom of the boat.
“come, there’s no time to explain. get on.” long chen was the first to jump onto the ice boat. this boat was condensed of ice, so it didn’t sink into the water. it was very safe.
everyone’s jaw dropped. han yunshan was actually being used as a tool to ferry everyone across. long chen really had some crazy ideas.
but seeing long chen jump onto the boat, they clenched their teeth and jumped on as well. a few people took out some tools to use as oars, and the ice boat began to smoothly advance.
“aiya!”
suddenly, a woman’s frightened scream rang out, causing everyone to jump. they thought that water had invaded the ship, and their souls almost fled in terror. but when they looked around, they didn’t see anything odd.
they glared at that woman. she blushed and pointed to the bottom of the boat. “he... he...”
everyone looked and saw that han yunshan had woken. he was now looking at them through the translucent boat.
they then looked at the woman who was wearing a skirt and came to a sudden comprehension.
“don’t worry, his meridians have been sealed by me. he won’t be able to break that seal without ten to fifteen days. as for your problem... hehe, well, he’s helping us so much, so you’re not losing out by letting him have a peek,” joked long chen.
“senior apprentice-brother long chen, you’re evil!” the woman was completely red. she jumped to the end of the boat. just thinking of that pair of eyes staring at her, she felt goosebumps.
he rushed over to take a look and saw five disciples fighting an eighth rank magical beast. it was a scarlet blaze lizard. from its aura, it should be at the mid eighth rank.
“this scarlet blaze lizard is on an even lower level that the earth dragon. the amount of dragon blood inside it is essentially negligible. in the eastern wasteland, the scarlet blaze lizard would at most be able to grow to the sixth rank. this one doesn’t have anything special about it, and its bloodline is also very impure, but it has reached the eighth rank. it seems the dense spiritual qi in the central plains allows magical beasts to grow to even greater heights,” muttered long chen to himself.
it seemed the density of spiritual qi in different regions affected magical beasts a great deal. but then its effect on humans should be even greater.
just at this moment, a woman amongst the group of five was sent flying by a swat from the scarlet blaze lizard. her blood splattered as one of her arms blew apart.
“careful!” the other four all cried out, because the scarlet blaze lizard’s huge tail was now smashing toward her.
they were all aware of how powerful that tail was. if she was struck in her current state, she would instantly be blown apart and killed.
“what? you can actually lose your life in this trial? there should be someone who will save her, right?” long chen was startled. there was no way the woman could block this attack on her own.
based on the previous parts of the trial, this should just be a very foundational test, and there shouldn’t be any danger to anyone’s life. thus, long chen didn’t immediately interfere and just watched instead. but when that tail was just about to strike her body, he had no choice but to go out personally.
boom!
debris exploded into the air. the other four all thought she had died, and they were stunned that there was danger of dying in this trial.
but when the dust settled, they saw someone standing in front of that woman, still in his punching posture.
“many thanks-” that woman had thought she was dead for sure, so realizing she wasn’t, she was ecstatic. she was just about to say her thanks when a blood-colored light shot out and directly cut off the scarlet blaze lizard’s head.
this terrifying scarlet blaze lizard was killed in one move, making the five of them dumbfounded. it took them a while before one of them reacted and hastily bowed. “many thanks for saving our lives, senior apprentice-brother long chen.”
although long chen had not reached the ranks of the rank five celestials, everyone from the four regions knew this miraculous figure.
“it was nothing. but if you knew you were going to die, why didn’t you crush your jade plate? then someone would come to save you. why throw away your life?” long chen curiously asked that woman.
a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes. she shook her head, saying, “i have a blood debt i have to repay, but i was powerless to kill my opponents. if i can’t grow in the central plains, i won’t be able to get revenge, and then my life won’t have any meaning. many thanks for saving me, senior apprentice-brother long chen.”
“hmm, so a woman with her own story. but then again, everyone has their own stories,” long chen thought to himself. he nodded and said, “the five of you lack battle experience and aren’t ruthless enough. you should bring in a few people to strengthen your force before continuing onwards. people have to have goals, but as long as you are alive, there is hope. even if that hope is very remote, that hope will disappear once you die.
“throwing your life away is running away from responsibility. death is easy, but living is hard. however, just because something is hard doesn’t mean it’s impossible.”
that woman’s eyes lit up and she said, “thank you for the reminder. i understand.”
long chen nodded. taking away the scarlet blaze lizard’s corpse, he continued onwards. this experience gave long chen a warning: the xuantian dao sect’s trial wasn’t as simple as he had thought.
