Chapter 717

“A life and death match?”

Everyone was shocked . Long Chen wanted to kill? Did he really have the confidence to fight a rank two Celestial?

“Hmph, how ignorant!” snorted Shui Yuncong .

“Yes, truly ignorant . ” Shui Wuhen nodded . But the same word had a different meaning in her mouth .

Shui Wuhen knew that Long Chen was truly furious . He could accept anything, but he couldn’t accept others hurting his comrades, especially not when they were someone impossible for them to defeat and when they used such despicable methods . Once that happened, Long Chen would become a completely different person .

“Do you think you’re fit to have a life and death match with me? I won’t kill you today, but I’ll crush every single one of your bones to dust!”

Seeing Long Chen walk out of the storm zone, Shui Guanzhi was delighted . As long as he wasn’t in the storm zone, then he didn’t have anything to worry about .

“Long Chen, I’ll make you regret provoking me!” Shui Guanzhi suddenly spread his hands . Countless runes appeared in the space between them, forming a huge arrow .

The arrow continued to grow, becoming hundreds of meters long . It was formed entirely of his runes, and a terrifying pressure spread that caused the other disciples’ expressions to change . This level of attack could instantly kill them .

The huge arrow shot toward Long Chen . It wasn’t fast, but it caused the void to rumble . Its powerful aura had locked down Long Chen .

“Don’t play this kind of senseless game . Bring out your full strength, or you’ll die . ”

Suddenly, Long Chen completely disappeared . When he reappeared, he was right by Shui Guanzhi’s side, and his saber was slashing at him .

“What?!” Everyone was shocked that Long Chen could ignore Shui Guanzhi’s lock and escape this attack .

But was Shui Guanzhi trying to make a joke? If you wanted to lock down your opponent, you either needed stronger Spiritual Strength or a greater aura than your opponent . He had truly underestimated Long Chen .

Despite immediately summoning a water shield and retreating, Shui Guanzhi was still cut by Long Chen’s Saber Qi . Blood burst from his chest .

If he had been any slower, he would have been cleanly cut in two . Long Chen’s Netherworld Ghost Steps were too difficult to deal with . As his cultivation base had grown, he discovered just how exquisite this technique was .

His speed was too fast, so fast that others couldn’t even react . The Celestials were especially horrified . They would be killed without even realizing it .

The vice sect master narrowed his eyes upon seeing Long Chen’s footwork . He felt it was a bit familiar, but he wasn’t sure .

Shui Yuncong and the rest of the Shui family all jumped upon seeing Shui Guanzhi injured .

“Heavenly Dao Recovery!” Shui Guanzhi was also shocked . Just now, he had instinctively shot back upon sensing the danger . If he hadn’t, he would have died . Now, he no longer dared to be careless . He directly summoned his true Cry of the Heavenly Daos . Previously, he had only activated a portion of his runic power .

He had always thought that summoning the Cry of the Heavenly Daos would just be elevating Long Chen’s status . But now he finally realized that if he continued playing around like this, he might play himself to his grave .

BOOM! With Shui Guanzhi at the core, two kinds of Heavenly Dao runes erupted . Space trembled as they interweaved . Even the flow of the current was forced aside by his power .

For many people, this was their first time seeing the manifestation of a rank two Celestial . It was much more terrifying than ordinary Celestials . Even from a hundred miles away, this pressure made it hard for people to breathe .

“Are they really going to undergo a heaven-shaking battle?” The disciples were filled with anticipation . It was rare to witness a battle on this level .

Suddenly, Long Chen began to rush away, instantly disappearing from other people’s sights . People were at first astonished that he was running, but then Long Chen said, “Let’s switch locations . ”

In order to not disturb others, Long Chen wanted to change the battlefield . That filled these disciples with gratitude .

Shui Guanzhi snorted and followed . Today, he was completely infuriated . This was his first time being slapped in the face . Although he couldn’t kill Long Chen in front of everyone like this, he could definitely humiliate him as much as he pleased to retrieve his dignity .

Now, he no longer even cared that much about the trial . If he didn’t defeat Long Chen, he would become the Xuantian Dao Sect’s laughingstock .

“Don’t just stand there . Even if you want to watch the fight, watch from inside,” said Long Chen to the Dragonblood Legion . Because he was following the current, he reached the edge of the basin in just a moment .

Gu Yang and the others hastily nodded . This trial was an extremely rare opportunity . They had already sensed immense benefits . The people who had been knocked unconscious had awoken, and they once more returned to their original location .

With their previous experience, their speed was much faster . By the time they reached their original location, Long Chen and Shui Guanzhi were already facing each other in the distance .

The vice sect master didn’t stop them, nor did he have any plans to . For a genius to rise within a sect was a good thing . But if multiple geniuses rose, they would definitely fight . Geniuses were all extremely self-confident . They only wanted to recognize themselves as geniuses . Each of them wanted to be king, to be the sole ruler .

That wasn’t a bad thing . Geniuses needed all kinds of motivation and passion to get stronger . If everything was peaceful and perfect, a genius would have no drive . It was an iron law of the world that competition was required . This was a rule that no one could change, and so the vice sect master only watched .

Whether it was the disciples in the Xuantian Sea or the four families’ experts, everyone’s focus was on Long Chen and Shui Guanzhi .

“Although I can’t kill you, I can return the humiliation you’ve given me a thousand times!” said Shui Guanzhi arrogantly .

“Then be careful . I, Long Chen, am not good at fighting . I’m only good at killing . If I accidentally kill you, don’t blame me!” Long Chen shook his head .

“Arrogant! I’ll let you experience the true power of a rank two Celestial, a power you can only look up to!”

BOOM! Shui Guanzhi’s runes suddenly blossomed with light as if they had come alive . A terrifying pressure crashed down on the ground, causing space to tremble .

The ground beneath Long Chen’s feet suddenly cracked . Although Shui Guanzhi hadn’t attacked yet, the aura he had released had already locked onto him .

Long Chen was under Shui Guanzhi’s terrifying pressure . Now that Shui Guanzhi had released his full strength and summoned the Cry of the Heavenly Daos, this pressure was no weaker than at the edge of the storm zone .

However, the storm zone’s power was spread throughout a large area, while Shui Guanzhi’s power was completely focused on Long Chen, which was the only reason it could match the storm zone .

“As expected, a true rank two Celestial is much more terrifying . That idiot Huo Wufang didn’t even have half this power . ” Battle intent soared out of Long Chen . It had been a long time since he had exchanged blows with a true expert . It would be good to have a fight . “Divine ring!”

When the divine ring appeared, his powerful aura was like a dragon soaring into the sky . The divine ring had three colors, but on the edge, there was an incredibly indistinct color, one that was practically impossible to see .

“What magical art is that?!” asked a monastery head .

This divine ring possessed a will that could subdue the entire universe . Even heaven and earth would have to lower their heads .

Such a technique was something they had never seen or heard of . The most shocking thing was that this divine ring was actually able to resist Shui Guanzhi’s Cry of the Heavenly Daos .

“It wasn’t like this before! Why are there more colors now?” Some people had seen photographic jades of when Long Chen had previously summoned the divine ring .

But those images were from when Long Chen had fought in the Jiuli secret realm . The divine ring had completely transformed, and its new power had reached an inconceivable level .

“Long Chen, let me see just how strong you are . ” Shui Wuhen was full of anticipation . Although she had known Long Chen for so long, she was never able to tell what his limit was .

When Long Chen summoned the divine ring, Shui Guanzhi immediately felt a great deal of pressure . That kind of feeling was something he had only sensed when he fought the other rank two Celestials . Did Long Chen truly possess the power of a rank two Celestial?

“If you keep hesitating, then I’ll have to attack first . Be careful . You’ve bullied my brothers, so I’m actually quite angry . If you don’t want to die, bring out your full strength!”

BOOM!

The ground beneath him crumbled . Long Chen shot forward, his saber mercilessly slashing down .

“I’ll make you pay for your arrogance!” Shui Guanzhi was infuriated by Long Chen . His words were a complete insult to him . Even a fellow rank two Celestial had never dared to say such a thing to him .

“Water Dragon Twister!”

Endless runes lit up behind Shui Guanzhi, forming a huge water dragon that crashed toward Long Chen .

BANG! The huge water dragon was directly cut in two by Long Chen . Long Chen found it odd how easily he destroyed it, but then his heart clenched and he hastily swung his saber behind him .
