A Graceful Sword
Liu Cang Lan's words carried a lot of weight.
In fact, even Huang Pu Lei didn't expect that Long Chen was actually a King Stage Alchemist. He was really too young …
"Guild Leader Liu, I, Huang Pulei, naturally wouldn't dare to offend the Pill Tower. However, this person isn't even twenty yet, yet you claim that he's a King Stage Alchemist? Wouldn't that be a joke … "Huang Pu Lei said as he stared at Long Chen.
But when he saw Long Chen, he frowned.
This young man was too calm, so calm that it was somewhat frightening.
Seeing that Liu Cang Lan was about to say something, Long Chen slowly walked out from behind him.
"So you're King Beside the Emperor. If it weren't for the fact that I'm in a hurry to reach the Divine Transformation Stage, perhaps I would've gone to find you when I was killing these people. Now that you've come to me yourself, you've saved me a lot of trouble …"
Long Chen's words made everyone stunned. Huang Pulei, who was on the flying demon beast, looked at Long Chen as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
This was Huangpu Lei, the King of the Great Qian Empire, a late-stage Soul Transformation Realm expert.
"Looking for me? You've just stepped into the Divine Transformation Realm, so what if you have heaven-defying battle prowess? So what if you can summon a heavenly anomaly … Today, I'd like to see how you're going to kill me! "Huang Pu Lei shouted coldly.
As soon as his voice fell, the hundred or so Late Divine Transformation Stage cultivators behind him also burst into laughter.
They wouldn't be afraid even if there were a thousand of them, let alone an Early Divine Transformation Stage cultivator!
"Long Chen, don't do anything stupid. Each of these cultivators at the late stage of the Divine Transformation Realm is probably at the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm.
"As long as you stay in the Pill Pagoda, the people of the Pill Pagoda will never back down!"
…
Qin Qing, as well as the princes and generals around them, looked at Long Chen in confusion. Although his breakthrough into the Divinity Realm today had caused a vision of heaven and earth, how could he not know when to retreat in such a situation?
Just as everyone was guessing, a cold light answered all their questions.
"The sword in my hand is enough!" A cold sword light flashed. Long Chen held his sword and soared into the sky.
Everyone was first stunned when they saw this scene, and then they cried out in shock without end. Who would have imagined that Long Chen would actually dare to take the initiative to attack under such circumstances? This was simply no different than suicide!
However, in the next moment, everyone reacted.
Liu Cang Lan and the other elders of the Pill Tower all released their spiritual light, and they sent beams of spiritual light into the sky. They wanted to restrain the many powerhouses behind Huang Pulei and give Long Chen a chance to survive.
For a moment, the sky was filled with intertwining spiritual lights, and violent rumbling sounds spread out.
Huang Pulei's eyes were filled with mockery as he roared, "You're courting death!"
Silhouettes flashed behind him and dozens of people rushed towards Long Chen in an instant. The rest of the people launched attacks in all directions.
Only Qin Qing and the other generals had no intention of joining the battle. In their opinion, no matter how talented Long Chen was, there was only death awaiting him.
It was unwise to offend the Great Qian Empire at this moment, but one of the princes rushed out.
This person was the Third Prince, Qin Lie!
Seeing Qin Lie rush out, the Great Prince Qin Feng revealed a smile on his face. He secretly thought that the Third Prince was stupid.
Now that Long Chen was undoubtedly going to die, saving him like this was simply asking for trouble. It was very likely that it would cause a great disaster for the Black Dragon Empire.
However, in the next moment, everyone was stunned. Even Qin Qing couldn't help but widen his eyes.
They saw Huang Pulei, who was surrounded by more than a hundred people, spurt out blood from his neck. The light in his eyes instantly dissipated … His face was filled with confusion, as if he didn't know why he had died.
However, he really did die!
The battle had just begun, and the Great Qian Empire's Prince Beside Huang Pulei had died … He was killed in front of everyone!
After the first round, the Soul Transformation Realm powerhouses stood on the ground in a daze, and their spiritual light instantly dissipated.
The scene was terrifyingly silent for a moment.
Whether it was the people from the Pill Tower, the hundred Soul Transformation Realm powerhouses around Huang Pulei, or Qin Qing and the others, all of them could faintly hear rapid breathing.
After a long while, the late stage Soul Transformation Realm cultivator under Huang Pulei cried out in shock, "The Prince Beside Huang Pulei is dead!"
"The Prince Beside Huang Pulei of the Great Qian Empire has died in the Black Dragon Empire!"
… …
Roars that resounded through the sky rang out, and everyone in the Imperial Capital stopped what they were doing at this moment.
After the roars, the hundred or so late stage Soul Transformation Realm powerhouses stared at Long Chen with bloodshot eyes.
At some point, Long Chen was standing in the same place again. His face was as calm as water, as if none of this had anything to do with him. However, drops of blood were dripping from the long sword in his hand.
At this moment, Qin Qing and the others also reacted. Everyone stared at Long Chen. They never thought that such a big change would happen in the blink of an eye.
They didn't even see how Long Chen killed Huang Pulei!
How did he kill Huang Pulei in front of the hundred or so Soul Transformation Realm powerhouses?
Looking at the hundred or so late stage Soul Transformation Realm powerhouses with bloodshot eyes, Qin Qing's face became completely gloomy. He coldly said, "All generals, listen up. Kill the invaders from the Great Qian Empire. Leave no one alive!"
As Qin Qing's voice fell, the generals behind him all charged out. At the same time, silver crossbows came crashing down from all directions.
During this period of fighting, the military forces within the Imperial Capital had already surrounded the Pill Pagoda by three layers.
In an instant, the Pill Tower and the royal family fought with the hundred or so late stage Soul Transformation Realm powerhouses left behind by Huang Pulei. Under the countless crossbows, the hundreds of Soul Transformation Realm powerhouses in the sky were all seriously injured.
The corners of Long Chen's mouth curled into a smile when he saw this.
Qin Qing's actions were not entirely for the sake of helping him. Otherwise, Qin Qing would have made a move before Huang Pulei died. Now, Qin Qing had no choice but to do this. He had the intention of sizing up the situation.
Huang Pulei died in the imperial capital of the Black Dragon Empire. No matter what, this would lead to a war between the Great Qian Empire and the Black Dragon Empire. Instead of letting these people go back alive, it would be better to kill them.
Moreover, since the Great Qian Empire had become enemies with the Great Qian Empire, why not take the opportunity to rope in Long Chen? At this moment, Long Chen held a very high position in Qin Qing's heart.
On the other hand, it had to be said that Qin Qing's decisiveness made Long Chen admire him. In such a short time, he made the best choice.
Seeing the spiritual light shoot out and gradually drown the hundreds of late stage Soul Transformation Realm powerhouses in the imperial army, the Great Prince Qin Feng's face became unprecedentedly ugly. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented crisis.
That was Huang Pulei, one of the strongest fighters in the Great Qian Empire. He was at the peak of the late stage Soul Transformation Realm.
At this moment, he was killed by Long Chen with a single sword strike. No one could even see the sword strike clearly.
Just how strong was this person?!
Qin Feng's eyes fell on Long Chen from afar. He then turned to the two people behind him and asked in a low voice, "Are you two sure you can kill him?"
The two young men didn't answer for a long time.
