"Ah... The
disciple fell into the lava, letting out a piercing scream. His clothes and hair instantly caught fire.
He struggled frantically. Seeing this, a disciple hurriedly threw out a flying rope and shouted, "
Grab it!"
The rope landed precisely above the disciple's head, and the disciple grabbed it in one swift motion.
"Whoosh."
He was pulled out, but as the disciple's body flew out, everyone present gasped; the part below the disciple's chest disappeared.
But the disciple was completely unaware, thinking he was saved. His face was full of wild joy, but just as he tried to stand up, he realized what was happening to him.
"No..."
The disciple let out a piercing scream. Although he had ignited the divine fire, he still had no power to regenerate his body. Without a body, he would soon die.
The disciple cried out wildly on the ground, but no one could save him; they could only watch helplessly as he died.
"You are too cruel." Long Chen shook his head and sighed, a noble compassion appearing on his face.
"Nonsense! You were the one who killed them, so how did it make us cruel?" A disciple cursed angrily.
Everyone was furious. Long Chen had ruined someone in such a tragic state, yet still pretended to be a good person.
"I killed him. If you don't intervene, he will already be sleeping in warmth, returning to nature's embrace.
But what about you? On the surface, you save him, but in reality, you deliberately harm him, giving him hope, and then making him wait for death in despair.
If you really treated him well, you shouldn't have saved him. I even suspect that the person who saved him must have some deep grudge against him and treated him so cruelly. Sigh, I can't stand it anymore. Long Chen sighed, looking utterly reluctant as he spoke.
"Nonsense, I ..."
The disciple who saved the person was furious. This Long Chen was despicable—he was clearly trying to save people out of kindness, yet he was being labeled a vicious man.
"Ah..."
The disciple who had saved the man suddenly let out a miserable scream. The man with half his body left suddenly grabbed his ankle and bit down his calf, forcibly tearing off a chunk of flesh.
"Zhang Zuo, you bastard! You treat me like this just because I messed with you. I'll fight you to the end..." the disciple roared angrily, biting the man's leg again.
"Ah... Are you crazy... The
man endured the intense pain and tried to push the disciple away, but before dying, the disciple unleashed all his strength and simply couldn't push him away. In an instant, the flesh and blood on his calf were bitten off, exposing the bones, making him look extremely bloody and terrifying.
"Pfft!"
The man was both shocked and furious. Suddenly, he slashed his sword at the disciple's neck. The disciple's head was severed from the body, but the head still hung on his lower leg, biting down on a chunk of flesh.
"You really have a heart, daring to lay hands on someone who is about to die." Long Chen shook his head and spoke casually while standing.
The man had just taken the head off his leg and had a chunk of flesh torn off. He was both shocked and furious. Hearing Long Chen fanning the flames nearby, he was so angry he felt like his lungs would explode.
"Die!"
The man roared, and the rope in his hand shot out from an extremely strange angle, coiling like a monstrous python toward Long Chen's throat.
On the rope were countless sharp barbs. If entangled by the rope and pulled hard, the barbs would cut through like saws—not just flesh and blood, but even rock. This was a rare weapon.
"Smack"
But as soon as the ziprope reached Long Chen, a large hand covered in dragon scales grabbed it.
"As you wish,"
Long Chen snorted coldly, waved his hand, and the man was involuntarily sent flying. Amid countless gasps, he fell into the lava with a thud.
"Ah... Help... The
man screamed in terror. He had only just ignited the divine fire and couldn't take off yet. Thinking of the disciple's miserable state just now nearly made him faint from fear.
"Whoosh!"
As soon as he cried for help, Long Chen swung his hand and sent him back. Just like that person, only half of him came back, and the part that had fallen into the lava disappeared.
"Long Chen, you damn bastard, don't you die a horrible death..." Seeing his current state, the man knew he wouldn't live much longer and let out a hysterical roar.
"You're really unfair. You said you were dead just now, and I let you have it. Then you called for help, and I pulled you back. What more do you want from me? It's really hard to be a good person these days. Long Chen shrugged helplessly.
"You... You ... "Screw you, good guy..."
Pfft!
The man was still a bit ruthless; after cursing, he slapped his own forehead and actually took his own life.
The two inner sect disciples who had ignited the divine fire in a confused way died so confused and helpless, and no one understood what had happened.
On the other hand, the two sisters, Luo Bing and Luo Ning, had eyes full of wild joy. Although Long Chen had never shown his true combat power from beginning to end,
But to be able to toy with two powerful figures who ignite divine fire in the palm of a finger—that calmness is definitely not an act—this is the mark of a true master.
Although Luo Bing also had the ability to fight above his level, Long Chen wasn't fighting; he killed two powerhouses who had ignited divine fire with a single gesture.
The people on Chu Kuang's side were both shocked and furious. They never expected Long Chen to come out, and Long Chen seemed even more terrifying than the rumors said.
The two of them attacked, but without even probing Long Chen's true strength, they lost their lives. Long Chen's calm and composed demeanor sent chills down their spines.
Although everyone here was strong and had killed before, Long Chen's calm gaze after killing made them feel fear.
They had killed people, and that calmness and calmness were all pretense; no one could slay their own kind without being moved.
But Long Chen's gaze seemed numb, unable to stir even a ripple. That was precisely the chilling part — a terrifying calm.
"Chu Kuang, no need to test the waters. Your strength can fool others, but you can't fool me.
Playing dumb to outsmart others? It's meaningless. No matter how you dress, in front of me, you're just a pig. Long Chen looked at Chu Kuang, his gaze gradually sharpening, like a sharp long sword slowly drawn, its edge tearing through the sky.
At that moment, Long Chen's aura began to change. For the first time since entering the Immortal Realm, Long Chen felt a fighting spirit, because among everyone, only Long Chen could see through Chu Kuang's true strength.
This was also the only one among the peer-level powerhouses Long Chen had encountered so far who was worth his attention.
"Hmph, bluffing, attack together, kill him." Chu Kuang sneered and waved his large hand to issue the order.
"Kill!"
The inner disciples all drew their weapons and surged forward, charging straight at Long Chen.
Luo Bing and Luo Ning both drew their long swords, preparing to fight, but Long Chen waved his hand and said,
"Don't make a move. Just protect yourselves."
As Long Chen spoke, he took a step forward, charging toward the disciples like a ghost. With a single sword strike, three weapons were severed, and three heads shot into the sky, blood splattering for several zhang, the stench of blood overwhelming the area.
