"Boom boom boom... The
thunder net sealed off heaven and earth, making the whole world look like a birdcage. When the net contracted, ripples appeared in the void.
Those were the figures of powerful figures from the Fate Hunter clan. When they fantasized about breaking through the thunder net and escaping to the heavens, they realized they had been overthinking it.
The moment their swords touched the Thunder Net, violent thunder surged into their bodies, and each of them exploded like fireworks—none escaped.
"Tch."
Seeing this, Yue Zifeng sheathed his sword, stopped chasing these people, and instead stood quietly, watching coldly.
"Come out, everyone. Stop hiding. Your disguise is nothing but a joke in front of us." Long Chen hoisted the Dragonbone Xie Yue onto his shoulder and said lazily.
As Long Chen finished speaking, dozens of figures slowly appeared before everyone, and all the powerful figures present were shocked.
The Fate Hunter Clan is extremely mysterious. Even those of us from Emperor Heaven have only heard of it, but have never seen it.
Although he knew these people weren't killing them, their ghostly movements and elusive movements still sent chills down his spine.
Saying you're not afraid is a lie. Who could ignore an assassin who can't be seen or touched, ready to behead you at any moment?
When dozens of people appeared, Yue Zifeng shook his head and said, "How foolish to the extreme, wasting your last chance for nothing." "
Cack!"
Yue Zifeng's long sword appeared, but no one could see his movements clearly. In an instant, spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the void, and hundreds of figures fell from the void like dumplings.
It turned out there were still people hiding in the void. They clearly didn't believe Long Chen's words and tried to resist, but were all killed by Yue Zifeng.
The dozens of Life-Hunting clan experts who appeared all wore cold expressions, seemingly indifferent to their comrades' deaths. That coldness made the powerful figures present tremble.
"Stop pretending. No matter how you pretend, from the fluctuations of your souls, I can feel both your inner fear and your longing for life.
In this world, there are no absolute hunters, nor absolute prey; hunters and prey often switch between each other.
I don't kill you because you're too weak. Killing you is meaningless. I'm keeping you here so you can send a message to your higher-ups." Long
Chen glanced at the group and said, "Go back and tell your higher-ups that from the moment you sent people to assassinate Luo Ning, we have been mortal enemies."
So, don't send scapegoats to test me again. I'll soon find your headquarters and have your executives wash their necks clean. I won't make them wait too long." Long
Chen's voice was quiet, and he didn't deliberately show any arrogance or hatred. It was as if he were chatting about family matters, his tone calm.
But in an environment full of blood and corpses, speaking in such a calm tone was especially terrifying.
"Get lost!"
Long Chen said calmly.
"Whoosh."
As Long Chen finished speaking, the net of thunder that had covered the sky vanished. The Life-Hunting Clan experts present showed a look of disbelief in their eyes, and someone's figure flickered and vanished.
Seeing nothing unusual, the others also disappeared one after another. Dozens of people instantly disappeared, as if afraid Long Chen might change his mind.
"Why would they send such a group to test us? Looking down on us? Yue Zifeng approached Long Chen, frowning.
Logically, all the experts inside the Nine Heavens Gate had seen Long Chen slaughter the Nine-Star Destiny Warriors—either they wouldn't provoke him, or they would strike with thunder.
This is also why Long Chen and Yue Zifeng sensed the aura of the Fate-Hunting clan assassins, and why they acted so seriously.
"Who knows? Maybe he's out of his mind! Or there are too many people to afford, so they want to save some grain. Long Chen shook his head. He couldn't figure it out either. This kind of probing was completely meaningless and hard to figure out.
However, Long Chen had already sent these people back to deliver the message. It seemed they wouldn't harass Lingxiao Academy for the time being, but would instead focus on how to deal with Long Chen's revenge.
"Dean Long Chen, Tianfu is something you can't mess with!" At this moment, a Saint King-level expert stepped forward from the crowd, earnestly explaining.
"Oh?" Why can't you provoke him? Long Chen asked.
"That Tianfu is incredibly powerful. Even in Emperor Heaven, no one dares to provoke them. They come and go without a trace, impossible to guard against."
The key is, they're different from us. We have families and jobs, but they're like a group of wandering souls, with no fixed abode—no one knows where their old nest is.
We've been constantly attacked by various monsters, fighting for years, yet they seem unaffected. Their numbers are skyrocketing. If given enough time, they'll definitely become the strongest force in Emperor Heaven.
Therefore, no matter how powerful the forces within Emperor Heaven, none want to provoke them. Attacking from both front and rear would be unbearable.
After all, only thieves can be thieves for a thousand days, but no thieves can be guarded against for a thousand days. So, Dean Long Chen, you've really caused big trouble. The old man sighed.
"No wonder these guys are so arrogant. It seems that after their numbers grew large, they gained the leverage to act arrogantly, so they started brazenly showing off." Long Chen nodded.
"That's not all. Back then, the Fate Hunter Clan fought fiercely with the Purple Blood Clan and nearly wiped out their entire clan and lineage. Now the Purple Blood lineage is missing. The Fate Hunter Clan has reestablished the Tianfu banner, claiming they want to redeem themselves from past humiliations. They are well prepared, so their strength may well have surpassed their most glorious era." The old man said.
"You say the Purple Blood Clan is missing?" Could it be that there are no people from the Purple Blood Clan left in the Imperial Heaven? "Long Chen was startled.
"That's not entirely true. Ninety percent of the Emperor Heaven's area is considered a wild region, and our living space is compressed into a very small space.
As for whether those wild regions have been preserved by races like ours, no one dares to say.
After all, the Purple Blood lineage is one of the strongest bloodlines of the human race and shouldn't be extinct. But Emperor Heaven is so vast that many regions cannot be crossed, so no one knows how many races truly exist within it. The old man said.
Hearing the old man's words, Long Chen finally relaxed. As for the Fate Hunter clan, he didn't care. With over seven thousand brothers in the Dragonblood Legion, he feared no one.
"Excuse me, who is Dean Long Chen?"
At that moment, an elderly man dressed in a white robe, with dragon patterns embroidered on both the cuffs and collar, walked over.
The Saint King who had spoken to Long Chen earlier opened his mouth
wide when he saw the white-robed elder:
"Tianhuang... The Long family? "
