The middle-aged man looked ordinary, but gave off an extremely gentle aura. Especially his gaze, as he looked at others, constantly searching for their weaknesses.
He seemed completely unconcerned about Long Chen slaying Moluo Tianxing and the Nine-Headed Lion. He stepped forward from the crowd and walked to the front of the main hall.
"I've been a Nine Nether Hunter for three thousand years. You're the fourth Nine-Star successor I've met. Looks like you're about to make another big profit." The middle-aged man chuckled, looking at Long Chen as if he were his own prey, his eyes filled with delight.
Meanwhile, Long Aotian, Jiang Wuchen, and Ye Liangchen's eyes were filled with the thrill of revenge. In their eyes, Long Chen was doomed to die today.
"Long Chen, although I can't kill you with my own hands, it's okay. You still have many brothers and beauties. I'll take good care of them, hahaha..." Long Aotian laughed loudly toward the sky. Long Chen had killed his parents, and he finally felt the thrill of revenge.
"I won't kill you either. I will make sure you live in this world." Long Chen snorted coldly, then suddenly moved and was already standing right in front of Long Aotian.
Long Aotian was shocked. He hadn't expected that with the Nine Nether Hunters present, Long Chen would dare to charge straight in. Long Chen's speed was so fast that with a wave of his hand, heaven and earth trembled, space was locked shut, and he couldn't move a muscle, forced to watch helplessly wait for death.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, a chain suddenly flew out, charging straight at Long Chen. The chain's head had a lump, like a venomous snake's head, containing terrifying power.
"Bang!"
Long Chen waved his hand to block, and the chain twisted off and turned to crash into Ye Liangchen and Jiang Wuchen.
"No..."
The two were terrified, trying to dodge, but it was too late. They watched helplessly as the chains crashed into them.
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered, and the moment Ye Liangchen and Jiang Wuchen were touched by the chains, they were instantly shattered into dust, blood mist filling the air.
Next to Jiang Wuchen, Feng Fei was covered in blood. Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with terror.
The chains contained terrifying divine power; any mortal would shatter instantly upon touch, and the chains would fly right against her cheek, nearly killing her.
Everything happened so fast—so fast that before he even felt it had begun, it was already over. The arrogant Long Aotian was already grabbed by Long Chen's throat, held like a chick.
The Nine Nether Hunter's expression changed. He had been careless, not expecting Long Chen's power to be so terrifying. He missed this strike, and the chains in his hand trembled as he was about to strike again, but the middle-aged man waved his hand, stopping his move.
The middle-aged man looked at Long Chen indifferently, seemingly indifferent to Long Aotian's fate, as if he was just watching the spectacle.
"Sir... Save me... Long
Aotian never dreamed that so many powerful figures could not protect him and ended up in Long Chen's hands. For a moment, he was terrified out of his wits.
"Tick-tock tick... What
no one expected was that Long Aotian's crotch was soaked and he was so scared he wet himself, dripping down his pant leg.
"Coward" Countless
people on the Tianwu Continent despise him. Is this what they call the Imperial Seedling? The so-called peerless prodigy? Before the death trial, they were utterly cowardly.
Long Chen faced death countless times, never compromising or bowing his head. Long Aotian was a useless fool, making a mess in front of everyone—utterly humiliating.
Facing Long Aotian's plea for help, the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "You reap what you sow. When I was speaking, Do you have the right to butt in? You can only say you brought disaster upon yourself, so you can't blame others.
Although you were the one who passed the news about the Nine Star heirs to me, I also promised the Long family that I would give you some benefits.
But you're the kind of person who annoys me, so your life and death have nothing to do with me. Don't you always like to interrupt? Then keep begging for mercy. That
middle-aged man clearly held a very high status. Long Aotian interrupted and spoke too much when he appeared, offending him. Therefore, he did not stop Long Chen from making a move.
"No...!"
Long Aotian shouted in despair. Falling into Long Chen's hands, where was his chance to survive?
"Please... Our Long family... I will repay you. Long Aotian still wouldn't give up and pleaded.
"You?" The Long family is vast and powerful, with disciples spread across the land, countless prodigies, and countless strong warriors.
And your lineage is just a branch within a collateral branch. With your talent, you weren't even considered average in the last session.
If I saved a dog from the Long family, maybe they would still be grateful to me. Saving you is like saving an ant. Will your Long family repay me because of you? Are you joking with me? The middle-aged man shook his head and said calmly.
"I... Ahem..."
Long Aotian was about to speak but was grabbed by Long Chen by the neck, coughing up blood. Colorful blood gushed out, looking terrifying.
"You don't need to beg him, because I won't kill you. You stole my spiritual root, spirit blood, spirit bones, and caused me endless suffering. Do you really think I'd kill you like this?"
No, I will let you live, I will make you live a life worse than death. You are so weak, you surely have no courage to kill yourself. Long Chen looked at Long Aotian's terrified face, and a black pill appeared in his hand.
"I've been preparing this pill for you for a long time, and today it finally came in handy." After Long Chen finished speaking, he directly placed the jet-black pill into Long Aotian's mouth.
Although Long Aotian didn't know what the pill was, he guessed it was definitely not something good. Gritting his teeth, Long Chen smashed his teeth with a single finger, swallowing both the pill and his teeth whole.
"Whoosh"
Long Chen pushed Long Aotian away with a large hand, and Long Chen actually let Long Aotian go.
Long Aotian was overjoyed at first and hurried into the Immortal Hall, but as soon as he stepped through the gates, he suddenly let out a piercing scream.
"Puff puff puff puff...
From his body, sharp spikes sprouted out like bamboo shoots, writhing like maggots born from a rotting corpse.
"Nether Corpse Gu Poison."
The middle-aged man was slightly surprised to see Long Aotian's appearance. He recognized what kind of poison Long Aotian had been poisoned.
However, he mistakenly believed that this poison pill was refined from Long Chen's own essence blood and black soil essence. The death aura in the black earth made him mistakenly believe it was the energy of the underworld.
But the Gu poison was indeed correct. Once the pill entered his stomach, it instantly transformed into billions of maggots, devouring Long Aotian's essence, blood, and soul.
The most terrifying thing was that these maggots couldn't be killed; if they were killed, Long Aotian would die as well.
These maggots were connected to his primordial spirit, and he knew clearly that these maggots were formed from his own blood soul. Killing them would mean killing himself.
"Ah..."
Long Aotian screamed in terror. Worms sprang out all over his body, and every movement caused him unbearable pain—an indescribable torture.
"Buzz!"
A Nine Nether Hunter slapped Long Aotian on the forehead, knocking him down. Long Aotian's voice abruptly stopped, but his body kept convulsing, just unable to speak. Inside the temple, some powerful members of the divine race hurriedly carried Long Aotian back.
"Whoosh!"
A chair appeared in the void. The middle-aged man sat down and said to the person behind him, "
Go to hell, weigh his strength, and don't kill him too quickly, or it will be a waste."
"Yes."
The Nine Nether Hunter who had previously attacked Long Chen but failed to stop him stepped forward, flicking the chain in his hand, and shot toward Long Chen like a poisonous dragon emerging from its hole.
