Chapter 330

Chapter 330 Want to Die? Then Come!

“As expected, Long Chen, you didn’t die!”

The three Chosen’s expressions were extremely ugly when they saw Long Chen smashing a brick into the coffin .

Guo Ran had caused two Favored to die and then ignored them . Then the lightstone had been taken away, causing the passageway to become completely dark again . They had no idea what Guo Ran was doing . But thinking of the possibility of Guo Ran finding a pile of riches and throwing them into his pocket, they were all filled with pain .

However, they had had to endure it . With the terrifying mechanisms set up, perhaps only Chosen had a chance of passing through .

However, that chance wasn’t necessarily high . A slight mistake would cause them to die . To risk their lives without even seeing any treasure was stupid .

So the three Chosen had been unwilling to test it out . As for the Favored and other disciples, that went without saying . Those two Favored that had been tricked by Guo Ran had only lasted for a couple breaths before being killed miserably within the passageway . Who would dare try it again?

And so all the disciples had been waiting up there, suffering endless torment . Each breath had felt like an hour, but they were also unwilling to leave just like that .

But later, they began to hear loud noises from inside . That had been the sound of Long Chen and Guo Ran collecting the bricks .

Hearing that noise, their hearts began to burn . Although they couldn’t see what was going on, that was most likely the sound of Guo Ran collecting treasures .

They had become like agitated ants, clenching their teeth and glaring down the passageway . But they didn’t have the courage to barge in .

Finally, when Long Chen started using the brick to smash the stone coffin, shaking the entire tomb, there had been someone who hadn’t been able to hold back any longer . He felt as if he was going crazy .

There was someone inside getting treasures, while they were like idiots, standing outside the treasure house . That feeling nearly drove them insane .

“Fuck it!”

He had finally thrown in a lance into a wall of the passageway . That naturally activated the mechanisms .

But this time, the mechanisms only half activated, and stopped midway . Despite how cleverly the mechanisms had been set up, the tomb had existed for too long . The passage of time had still affected them slightly .

With some portions of the mechanisms having degraded, then adding on the crazy impact Long Chen had caused the passageway, the mechanisms were now half broken .

As a result, everyone now saw that in truth, the mechanisms were only able to activate partway . They were all jammed, unable to do anything . After killing those last two Favored, it seemed the mechanisms had finally been unable to bear any more impacts . As long as they went down carefully, they wouldn’t be struck .

“AHH!”

One of the Righteous core disciples suddenly let out a cry as someone threw him directly into the passageway .

The one to throw him was a Corrupt Favored . None of the Righteous disciples showed any anger at one of them being used as an experiment . Instead, seeing that he was completely fine after reaching the bottom, they all celebrated and charged through .

The fastest ones were the three Chosen . No one else dared compete with them .

Those three people had arrived just in time to see Long Chen smashing a huge coffin with a brick .

“Kill them!” ordered Zhao Mingshan furiously . He charged at Long Chen, his terrifying aura causing the entire tomb to tremble intensely . His fist smashed at Long Chen .

The other two Chosen also went to attack Long Chen after a pause .

They had decided to first kill Long Chen and take his treasures before investigating what the other treasures were .

“Guo Ran, you run away in the mess . Wait for me somewhere far away,” Long Chen whispered stealthily to Guo Ran . Then, with a cold shout, he raised a brick to receive Zhao Mingshan’s fist .

BANG!

The entire tomb rocked . Zhao Mingshan felt a burst of pain on his fist, feeling as if his wrist had almost broken .

The next thing he knew, Long Chen was smashing a brick at his head at an incredible speed .

Zhao Mingshan was shocked by that brick . But he didn’t have time to be shocked . Long Chen’s attack speed was inconceivable, and he hastily tried dodging back .

However, he had still underestimated Long Chen’s speed . That brick managed to clip Zhao Mingshan’s forehead .

Although it wasn’t serious, the powerful force caused him intense pain . If it had been a Favored, they probably would have had their head split open from it .

A large bump appeared on Zhao Mingshan’s head, almost looking like a bizarre horn .

Feeling that bump, Zhao Mingshan was infuriated . In his carelessness, he had ended up wounded, and in an extremely humiliating manner .

“Die!” Zhao Mingshan took out a dark gold saber and slashed it down on Long Chen .

At this time, the other two Chosen also arrived . They were both startled by Long Chen’s combat strength .

Although they had heard Long Chen was extremely strong, he had clearly just broken through to Tendon Transformation . His aura had yet to stabilize, and he couldn’t even count as having reached the first Heavenstage .

And yet, in their very first exchange, he caused Zhao Mingshan to suffer . Long Chen was clearly not as easy to deal with as he appeared .

“Everyone be careful . That brick in his hand is a powerful treasure!” warned the other Righteous Chosen .

Hearing that, Zhao Mingshan was extremely grateful . That ‘warning’ was just to cover up his embarrassment at having lost out to Long Chen .

Long Chen sneered and was too lazy to expose them . He put away the brick and summoned out Devil Decapitator . Devil Decapitator was now covered in nicks from passing through the mechanisms in the passageway .

Long Chen was filled with killing intent towards these three Chosen . Previously, he had almost died because of them .

He roared, his voice like heavenly thunder in their ears . Devil Decapitator swung out at the three of them .

BOOM!

The entire tomb rocked . Sand and dirt began to rain from the ceiling .

Long Chen was forced back dozens of meters, but he was filled with excitement .

After advancing to Tendon Transformation, his strength had completely transformed . He was now able to control his physical strength even more precisely .

The three Chosen were shocked . Even the three of them working together had been unable to injure Long Chen . Instead, they were knocked back a couple steps because of his power .

In other words, Long Chen should be on the same level as them when they all used their full strength, despite the fact that they had a huge advantage due to their cultivation bases which were all in the late Tendon Transformation realm .

“We can’t leave Long Chen alive!” The Corrupt Chosen now fully understood why Long Chen had been ranked number two on their must-kill list, second only to Han Tianyu .

His talent was too terrifying . Once he matured, then it would definitely be Han Tianyu who was ranked second to him .

“You two, as long as we are able to kill Long Chen, then the Corrupt path will not take a single piece of this tomb’s treasure,” offered the Corrupt Chosen .

Hearing that, the two Righteous Chosen were shocked . They instantly understood he was offering a reward for Long Chen’s head . However, inside, they cursed the Corrupt path for being idiots and not knowing how to be subtle .

“How could us members of the Righteous path work together with someone despicable from the Corrupt path? The reason we want to kill Long Chen is to remove a scourge from our Righteous path, not because we’re working with you . Stop spouting nonsense and kill him,” said Zhao Mingshan .

He was saying this to emphasise that he had no relation with this Corrupt Chosen . Working with Corrupt disciples was an intolerable crime for Righteous disciples .

That Corrupt Chosen sneered in ridicule . The Righteous disciples were forever a bunch of self-righteous hypocrites .

“You guys go capture that little brat . Remember, I want him caught alive- eh? Where’d he go?” The Corrupt Chosen suddenly realized Guo Ran had somehow disappeared now .

“Reporting to senior apprentice-brother, he… fled,” replied a Corrupt disciple with an unnatural expression .

“Fled? How did he get away so fast?” The Corrupt Chosen couldn’t believe it .

“He… that bastard’s too crafty . ” All of them were looking at each other . One of the Corrupt disciples finally summoned the courage to explain .

Guo Ran had known that he wasn’t able to help Long Chen here with his little strength . Instead, he would hold him back .

So the instant Long Chen struck Zhao Mingshan with a brick, he took advantage of everyone’s attention being focused on Long Chen to stealthily slip away into the passageway .

However, in the end, he was still noticed by a few Righteous disciples . They had immediately raised their weapons and charged at him .

At that time, Guo Ran had suddenly taken out a strange cylinder, and a rain of needles had shot out over a huge area . More than a dozen people had been hit .

All those needles had poison on them, and those who were hit all consumed antitoxin pills .

However, they had then had to stop and had to circulate their spiritual qi to suppress the poison and force it out . That was because they realized their antitoxin pills were unable to completely suppress the poison .

Taking advantage of everyone’s panic, Guo Ran had already succeeded in getting up the passageway . He had taken out some ball and thrown it down the passageway, where it had exploded into a cloud of smoke so thick that they couldn’t even see their own hands .

Those disciples who had started chasing him had all retreated, afraid the smoke also had poison or that Guo Ran would shoot more poison needles from within .

By the time the smoke dissipated, Guo Ran had long since disappeared . None of them had really cared about Guo Ran getting away, as they just considered him a random weakling .

But now that this Chosen asked about him, they immediately felt apprehensive .

All the Chosen’s expressions were ugly now . They didn’t care about Guo Ran’s life, but it was very likely Guo Ran was holding a portion of the treasures from here . In fact, he could be holding the majority of them .

However, he had already run, and it wasn’t likely for them to be able to catch up . The three of them now focused completely on Long Chen .

Long Chen lazily rested Devil Decapitator on his shoulder, indifferently looking back at the three of them .

“Want to die? Then come!”
