long chen turned to look at the people entering and his eyes turned cold. this group of people was hovering around one certain fellow, similar to how the stars flocked around the moon, groveling.
he seemed to be carved out of jade and appeared extremely handsome. he was none other than the person who had beaten long chen on the martial arena to the point where he had almost died, the savage marquis’s son, zhou yaoyang.
zhou yaoyang was the noble heir of the savage marquis, and his cultivation base was at the peak amongst his peers. therefore, his popularity was very high amongst his fellow noble heirs.
zhou yaoyang immediately noticed long chen’s group, and smiling slightly, he walked over. looking at long chen, he said, “many apologies for what happened last time. i didn’t expect that my one blow would cause you to not even be able to recognize your own mother.”
although he spoke words of regret, his face didn’t have even the slightest trace of apology. his words were filled with disdain, just like he was a king far above looking down on long chen.
“don’t worry about it. very soon i’ll beat you to the point where you don’t even recognize your own grandmother.” long chen indifferently smiled, but inside he was secretly furious.
when he had awoken that day, only his mother and that old alchemist had been there. therefore, this news must have been transmitted by that old stick.
zhou yaoyang’s one sentence was equivalent to him telling long chen that the old alchemist had been one of his people. and furthermore, long chen’s injury that day might have been extremely frightening, but in reality, it wasn’t actually a life-threatening injury. even the injury on the back of his head had only appeared bad due to the amount of blood, but it was not actually too severe.
therefore, there had basically been no point in using an expensive medicinal pill in order to treat it. the old alchemist had clearly been trying to frighten his mother and make sure that he could suck up all of their savings.
something like that basically had no benefit for himself, but instead weakened the long family’s resources. with their current living situation, it was like adding hail onto snow. to think that there was actually such a hidden plot behind his back...
“long chen, are you looking to die? i think that you seem to have forgotten the pain now that your wounds have healed. don’t tell me you want to once again be beaten half dead by brother yaoyang?”
“that’s right, the trash who’s incapable of cultivating actually dares to open his mouth viciously. he’s obviously looking to die.”
“what an idiot. letting such an idiot count as a noble heir is just an insult to us.”
zhou yaoyang didn’t even need to speak before the people beside him began cursing long chen, their saliva spraying wildly.
“long chen, you might be a noble heir like me, but one of us is in the heavens while one of us is on the ground. you are just a small ant, and all you can do is stare up at me. therefore, even if i am bullying you, all you can do is suffer in silence. otherwise, the consequences will be just like last time, and you will end up being beaten into a dead dog,” said zhou yaoyang, lifting a finger to point at long chen’s nose.
pow!
long chen indifferently smiled, and suddenly, he extended his hand; before anyone could react, he tightly clenched onto zhou yaoyang’s extended finger. using a slight amount of force, a snapping noise rang out.
zhou yaoyang emitted a miserable cry as the pain of his snapped finger shook his whole body. his ten finger one heart technique was actually so easily broken and snapped by long chen!
even though he was a strong person at the seventh heavenstage of qi condensation, as long as a person hadn’t stepped into the blood condensation realm, they would still only be slightly stronger than ordinary people.
in addition, he had been taken by surprise, so he hadn’t had time to defend himself, meaning he was basically no different than an ordinary person.
long chen condescendingly looked down on zhou yaoyang whose face was contorted in pain, and with a questioning tone, he asked, “you think you’re above others? others are nothing to you? are you sure you’re not talking about yourself?”
the sudden unexpected turn of events shocked everyone, and zhou yaoyang was in such pain that he was unable to reply. only then did the others react and throw themselves at long chen.
“bastard, hurry up and release brother yaoyang!” when the others following zhou yaoyang saw that long chen had dared to attack him, they all shouted and swarmed around him.
even the people who had no way of cultivating also followed. within the battle skill pavilion were countless battle skills and cultivation techniques, and going through them might offer them a lucky encounter.
the battle skill pavilion had three floors, but only the bottom level was opened to all the noble heirs.
even though it was just one floor, there were still seventeen bookshelves completely packed with all kinds of battle skills and cultivation techniques. it was a brilliant sight that dazzled people.
“big brother yaoyang, i already have a life-and-death battle agreement with long chen. this time i’ll definitely kill him to help take revenge for you,” li hao respectfully said. who knew when, but li hao had at some point stealthily ran over beside zhou yaoyang.
at this point, zhou yaoyang had already used his energy in order to suppress the pain in his finger, but the important thing was that the meridians had been fried, and so he had to find an alchemist to help him treat it.
“it’s still not the right time to kill him; otherwise, i would have killed him last time.” zhou yaoyang shook his head. suddenly he asked, “that’s right, how did you end up getting beaten up by him last time?”
“ai, actually, it was just me being careless, and long chen happened to catch that opportunity. the result really infuriated me; to think that the trash could actually beat me one time.” li hao answered with endless regret.
that one loss had caused his reputation to plummet, and the people whispering and gossiping about him behind his back drove him crazy with anger. he believed that last time was simply a small moment of carelessness, and so this time, he definitely had quite a bit of killing intent towards long chen.
“long chen cannot be permitted to die, at least not for now. don’t mess this up.” zhou yaoyang worried that li hao hadn’t understood, so he purposely repeated himself.
“then what should i do? just let him off like this?” li hao somewhat unwillingly asked.
zhou yaoyang looked at his twisted broken finger and grinding his teeth in anger, he said, “although you can’t kill him, if you wanted to take back a couple of things on his body, that would be fine.”
when li hao heard this, his eyes brightened with excitement, “excellent! this time, i’ll take what he took from me, and oh, i think i’ll also take one his eyes too. tch, seeing the expression in his eyes really pisses me off.”
zhou yaoyang and li hao grinned, but they didn’t notice that long chen, who was faking interest in the tomes, also smiled. however, his smile was much colder compared to theirs, like a leopard staring at two bleating sheep.
from long chen’s current position, he was perfectly placed so that he could use his spiritual strength to spy on what the two of them were talking about. although he couldn’t hear what they were saying clearly, but looking at their expressions, he could still infer most of it.
observing the two of them start acting like nothing had happened and begin browsing the ancient tomes on the bookshelf, long chen was also disinclined to go deal with them. instead, he switched to looking for his actual objective.
by now he had realized that the pill god memories he had were actually extremely incomplete. other than the nine star hegemon body art, the rest of it only pertained to alchemy. there were no battle skills, so he absolutely needed to obtain one today.
long chen had finally settled on a battle skill and was just about to reach out his hand to take it when suddenly, a dark-faced fellow grabbed onto it before him.
“i’m sorry, this book has taken my fancy.”
that person didn’t even look at long chen, and acting like no one was beside him, he started browsing the tome.
long chen frowned slightly. this was done very obviously on purpose, but long chen didn’t take action, instead switching to a different bookcase.
just as he saw a palm battle skill and reached out to take it, the dark-faced fellow who had long since been waiting to the side once again grabbed it.
“i’m sorry, this”
pow!
a ruthless slap landed on that dark face, interrupting his words and sending him flying.
