Chapter 678: 678

His long hair fluttered in the air, and the flames around him continuously burned . Long Chen seemed just like a flame god . The instant Long Chen destroyed those Heavenly Dao runes, it felt like time slowed down .

Personally seeing a Celestial be killed by Long San completely stupefied everyone . A Celestial had disappeared in front of them just like that .

A new flame spear appeared in Long Chens hand, and he pointed it at Huo Wufang . Contemptible brat, do you dare fight?

Do you dare fight?

Do you dare fight . . . ?

Long Chens shout echoed throughout the silent mountain valley . That voice caused everyone to tremble . They had been completely suppressed by Long Chens unrivaled imposingness .

The leftover aura from killing the Celestial was still present on Long Chen . His powerful will caused heaven and earth to shiver . It made it so no one could form an urge to fight against him .

Holding his spear, with his aura surging out of him, Long Chen made everyone speechless . Huo Wufangs expression darkened while the other Corrupt Celestial by his side was trembling inside . He was actually too afraid to fight Long Chen .

The elder hidden in the crowd smiled and then silently disappeared .

Xiao Die was filled with delight . Long Chen gave people an extremely trustworthy feeling, as if anything could be given to him to handle .

Were going . Huo Wufang was furious, but he still decided to bring his people away . From start to finish, all he had done was embarrass himself . Now that this Celestial had been killed, Huo Wufang had already lost all his face .

Huo Wufang! Long Chen suddenly appeared in front of him . I know that this was all your dirty little plan . To dare touch my woman, you really are looking to die . I, Long San, dont have anything except my own life . If you want to play, then Ill accompany you . But let me warn you, if you once more touch my woman, I will make you regret ever being born in this world .

Long San, are you threatening me?! raged Huo Wufang .

Youre wrong . I never threaten anyone . I am someone who gets things done, someone who does whatever he wants to do . If you are a real man, then dont hide behind your schemes . I hear you once dared to face Long Chen . Could it be that after being beaten half-dead by Long Chen, your guts have shrunk and you dont dare face people head-on anymore? sneered Long Chen .

BOOM!

Huo Wufangs aura suddenly erupted, the ground beneath his feet trembling . A terrifying pressure rose as if an ancient beast was awakening within Huo Wufangs body .

Long Chens heart shook . In that instant, he felt an extremely dangerous sensation . Something was definitely off with Huo Wufang . Long Chen hastily retreated a few steps and readied himself .

Wufang, you child, how can you get angry so easily? If you get angry even from an ants provocation, how will you ever accomplish anything in the future?

Suddenly, a cold shout rang out and Huo Changsheng appeared .

Child knows his mistake, Huo Wufang hastily said .

Lets go . Your world wont be limited to this place . The opponents here are just stepping stones for you . Your target is a much vaster sky .

Huo Changsheng didnt even look at Long Chen . He brought their people away just like that . Everyone was startled . Huo Changsheng had actually long since arrived but had just been watching in secret .

Long Chen was also startled . Huo Wufang was someone Long Chen had been able to play with like a child back in the Jiuli secret realm .

But just now, he had felt a chill . That was a feeling the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art would only give him when there was a danger to his life .

Just what happened to Huo Wufang for him to give me such a dangerous feeling? wondered Long Chen .

It seemed he had been a bit careless . Huo Wufang had completely changed . But it seemed he didnt want to release his true strength .

Long San, you are amazing! Even a Celestial can be killed by you! At this time, Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo also came over . They almost prostrated themselves toward Long Chen in admiration . In fact, it was almost a kind of worship .

His alchemy skills were incredible, and his combat abilities were also terrifying . He was a monster; there was no way he was human!

Sorry, in the Secret Tome Pavilion, I apologized Long Chen .

No need to apologize . Youre a member of our Pill Tower . You can learn whatever you want . If others want to fart about it, just let them . Furthermore, any disciple who joins the Pill Tower can enter the Secret Tome Pavilion once a month, and youve only entered once . We didnt break any rules .

And about that Long San, are you sure youre human? To have learned this much from entering the Secret Tome Pavilion once, are you sure you arent a monster? asked Chai Liehuo .

Alright, dont spout nonsense . This isnt the place to talk . Lets go back . Lady Xiao Die, Ive already sent someone to buy you from the House of Pleasures . Youll be your own person in the future, said Fang Chang .

Brother Fang really, thank you, said Long Chen . In truth, Long Chen knew that this was just his way of pulling him onto his side even more .

No need to thank me . Brother Chai and I might be junior masters of our families, but we actually get very little income . It cant even make up for a month of Huo Wufangs expenses . This bill is something my familys old man paid for, said Fang Chang .

Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo were both treated extremely strictly by their families . They had to make their own money through refining pills .

Alchemy was one of the greatest money-making tools in the world . But the two of them had it different . Their families goal was to temper them . They only allowed them to make money off refining extremely difficult pills with high odds of failure .

Sometimes they might spend a month refining without earning a single copper coin . In fact, they would even owe money for the ingredients . It was only in the past few years that their alchemy had improved enough that they managed to repay their debt and get some savings .

Long Chen approved of this method . At the very least, the two of them didnt have the same vile habits as Huo Wufang . The feeling they gave others was completely different .

Ill have to thank him . Long Chen smiled . This matter was now over . Long Chen pulled Xiao Die back with him to the Fang family .

The Fang family head was truly worthy of being a leader . He directly made a large courtyard available for Long Chen and Xiao Die . They had a large house with their own servants .

Long Chens relationship with the Fang and Chai families had grown even more intimate now . Now they no longer called him the same thing . Instead, they called him junior master Long, a name on the same level as Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo .

First master Chai, second master Fang, and third master Long . Now their three names rang throughout Pill Yang Prefecture .

A large disturbance erupted on the day Long Chen killed the Celestial . However, while the Corrupt path might feel fine abusing the Righteous path, they didnt dare to do anything to the Pill Tower .

Later that evening, the Fang family held a grand feast as a celebration . Fang Mingyuan was growing more and more pleased with Long San .

But after that feast, Fang Mingyuan told Long Chen he should focus on alchemy . Although he didnt say it directly, his meaning was very obvious . He didnt want Long Chen wasting his energy on Xiao Die . If a problem occurred during the finals because of that, it really would be a joke .

Long Chen didnt know whether to laugh or cry . But he immediately patted his chest and guaranteed he wouldnt do such a thing before the finals .

That satisfied Fang Mingyuan . To be so sensible at such a young age and to possess such shocking abilities but still be low-key was truly rare .

When the social niceties were finally over, Long Chen returned to his residence . Xiao Die was already there, but her expression was a bit unnatural from nervousness .

Long Chen smiled slightly . Perhaps Xiao Die had misunderstood . Xiao Die, Ive refined the pills already . Theyre in this ring . Do you need to use a transportation formation to leave or do you have another method?

Hearing that Long Chen had prepared the pills this quickly delighted Xiao Die . I dont need a transportation formation . We have our own secret technique . As long as I activate it, Ill immediately be sent away .

Long Chen handed the spatial ring to her . Then you should leave quickly . Remember to tell Xiaoqian that I um just tell her that I miss her .

Thank you, brother Long . Ill definitely pass on your words .

Xiao Die quickly took out a dozen strange bones . Those bones had mysterious carvings on them that possessed powerful spatial strength .

Will this be sensed by others? asked Long Chen .

No . Our original devil races secret technique causes almost no spatial fluctuations . The people outside this room wont be able to sense a thing .

Buzz .

The bones began to glow . Xiao Die was enveloped by a gentle light, and then her body slowly faded .

Brother Long, thank you for everything . Goodbye . Xiao Die waved all the way until she completely disappeared .

The bones disintegrated, turning into a fine powder .

Xiao Dies gone now . Ill have to think of an excuse . Long Chen rubbed his chin, thinking . Suddenly, he felt almost ten powerful auras creeping into his courtyard .

Damn, what perfect timing! Long Chen smiled with delight .
