Chapter 337 - Young Sword EmperorAfter leaving the Clear Water City, he was only half the distance away from the West Sea Country. Because of the mysterious person that Liu Qing Qing talked about, in addition to the fact that Ling Xi"s condition had improved, Long Chen sped up his pace. He followed suit and used his feet to travel for two days, but the little wolf still showed no signs of waking up. On the other hand, because of Ling Xi"s b.u.mpy journey, she did not rest well.
Therefore, Long Chen could only slow down.
According to Liu Qing, the mysterious man was even more powerful than Song Zhongcheng, who could already guess who he was. Amongst the royal family, there were three great powerhouses. Among them, the existence known as the Emperor of the sword would definitely not come. Therefore, the mysterious person could only be the Sword Demon and Lin Zichen, and the Sword Demon had to protect the Inverse Wonderland, so Long Chen guessed that the mysterious person was most likely Lin Zichen.
If it was Lin Zichen, Long Chen didn"t have confidence. After all, Lin Zichen was the legend of the entire Canyang Kingdom, and already had the supreme ninth level of the Milky Way Realm at such a young age. Furthermore, he was a Sword Fighter with extremely strong fighting strength, and he even possessed a super divine weapon like the Emperor Sword.
To be able to be called the number one divine weapon of the Canyang Kingdom, Emperor Sword s should definitely be at an Earth Ranked or above level. From this, it could be seen that the Emperor Sword should be the legendary Heaven Ranked Divine Weapon!
Heaven Ranked Divine Weapon, this was an existence that Long Chen looked up to.
If he used his blood sacrifice, he wouldn"t need his life. He could kill Song Zhongcheng, but Lin Zichen was different. Long Chen had a faint idea that up till now, Lin Zichen would be his most terrifying opponent!However, in order to survive, he had no choice but to give it his all!
"Brother Chen, where are we going?" Ling Xi lightly leaned her head against the side of Long Chen"s ear, and the delicate fragrance that belonged to a pure white refined being pounced towards Long Chen."Let"s head in the direction of the Diremonster Mountain." Long Chen looked forward and quickened his pace.
"Why? Didn"t you say that the other way would be closer? " Ling Xi was at a loss. Traveling day and night, even with the help of medicine, her body still felt very uncomfortable."Within the Diremonster Mountain, there are some powers that the royal family is wary of, the Demonic Palace. If we approach that road, it is very possible that we will be intercepted, but in Demonic Palace"s territory, the royalty would not dare to do anything rash. " Long Chen explained as he hurried along his way.
"Okay," Ling Xi nodded, burying her face on Long Chen"s back and not speaking anymore. The spring wind was still a little cold, and only by hiding behind Long Chen"s back, would she feel warmer.
"Brother Chen, can you carry me like this for your entire life?" Ling Xi suddenly said with her head lowered.
"Silly girl, what are you thinking about now?" Long Chen laughed helplessly.
"We don"t want the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit. I just want to stay with you and find a place where there is no more killing." Ling Xi knew that this request was a little unrealistic, but she still voiced it out after some hesitation.
"Hmm? Don"t think about it anymore, I must obtain the Nine Celestial Spirit Fruit. If the royalty treats me like this, if I am able to escape, I will definitely make a comeback one day and ma.s.sacre the entire Imperial City. Of course, Little Wolf will take his revenge too! " Long Chen said with a dark look in his eyes.
"Okay then," Ling Xi nodded her head helplessly. She was not worried that Long Chen would be in great danger when he returned to the Biyang Royal City, in fact, she trusted his strength a lot since he had a lot of experience. What she was worried about was that if she had recovered her true body and possessed strength, the people of her clan would be able to feel it. If that was the case, she might have to part with Long Chen forever.Their status and ident.i.ty was a huge gap between them.
"Forget it, it"s best if I don"t think too much and distract the Brother Chen. This is still a critical moment, and as long as we pa.s.s this last trial, we"ll be able to successfully escape and lead a peaceful life. Also, Brother Chen has been holding on to his body these past few days, so he should be tired as well," Ling Xi thought to himself.
Not only was Long Chen a little tired, the little wolf was even in a coma right now because its life force was ignited. Long Chen hung him on a piece of cloth around his neck.
The days pa.s.sed one by one as they travelled on their journey.
"Xiao Xi, do you see that black mountain that is holding up the sky?" Long Chen stopped and raised his head to look at the steep mountain peak in front of him that pierced through the clouds. This mountain was ridiculously tall. The surrounding mountains could already be considered to be tall. A steep mountain peak in the middle stood out from the rest.
"This mountain looks like a sword!" Ling Xi said in surprise.
Long Chen looked carefully, and indeed, the mountain peak looked like a sky-upholding sword that had been stabbed out from the ground. Not only did it look similar, it also looked similar, and under the illumination of the sunlight, the black mountain peak released wave after wave of sword beams, causing Long Chen to not dare to look directly at it."This should be the Canyang Kingdom"s number one peak Diremonster Mountain. I heard that the Demonic Palace was established inside this Diremonster Mountain. The strength of the Demonic Palace is about equal to that of the royal family, so there should be an expert on the same level as the Sword Emperor. " Long Chen sighed.
In actuality, Long Chen had already heard of the name of Demonic Palace when he was still in Source Spirit City. At that time, when he rescued Xuan Ming from the Azure Dragon Star, he heard that he was someone from the Demonic Palace, and his position was not low either.
"I wonder what will happen to foster father and the others after he escaped from Star Demon Prison. I hope they will be happy." Long Chen laughed and said.
"They must be living happily together. To be honest, I envy them too." Ling Xi revealed an expression of longing.
"Xiao Xi, let"s go. As long as we pa.s.s this Diremonster Mountain, then it will be the territory of the West Sea Country. I don"t believe that the royalty would dare to go there to cause trouble if we go straight to the imperial city." As he neared his destination, Long Chen felt a little more relaxed in his heart.
Of course, he didn"t dare to completely relax yet.
Although Lin Zichen had yet to arrive, he still seemed like a huge mountain, pressing down on top of Long Chen"s head.
Just as he was getting close to the Diremonster Mountain, Long Chen stopped in his tracks. This time, his steps were a bit heavy. He was still joking with Ling Xi earlier, but when he saw the proud and aloof back figure in front of him, Long Chen"s heart sank.
This was a road that lead to Diremonster Mountain, and in front of Long Chen, there was a man with a body similar to his, who was currently facing away from him. It could be seen that this tall and stern youth, with long black hair, was more terrifying than the Diremonster Mountain itself, and continuously erupted from his body.
Just the fact that this youth was standing there was enough to make it impossible for people to cross him.
Long Chen gently put Ling Xi down, then untied the little wolf and placed it in Ling Xi"s embrace. At this very moment, his expression was incomparably heavy, because the person in front of him, was the legendary young Sword Emperor, Lin Zichen!
Long Chen thought that she had already escaped his control, but he did not expect that he was still unable to escape his grasp in the end.At this time, Lin Zichen slowly turned around. This was the first time Long Chen saw this legendary super genius up close. His long hair was like ink as it scattered across his white clothes, only using a white ribbon to tie the hair in front of him behind his head. His entire body was exuding an aura as cold as his sword! His thin lips were pursed tightly, and his unfathomably deep eyes shone with a sharp light, as he coldly looked at Long Chen.
Of course, Ling Xi knew in her heart that the person who could make Long Chen so wary was the legendary Lin Zichen. Although they were both princes, Lin Zichen was much more outstanding than the Ninth Prince Lin Cangtian. With Lin Zichen"s strength, even a thousand Lin Cangtian would be no match for him.
Lin Zichen"s appearance had caused him to lose control of himself. She knew how terrifying this person in front of her was. In the previous two trials of the six great commanders and the j.a.panese, Long Chen had already risked his life, and only now did he pa.s.s.
His appearance was tantamount to sentencing the two of them and the wolf to death. This made Ling Xi almost collapse.
"Be good and don"t worry. If there are any monsters or ghosts, I will definitely stand in front of you and kill them one by one. You close your eyes and you will pa.s.s quickly." Long Chen knew the nervousness in her heart, so he told Ling Xi to carry the little wolf and retreat while he spoke.This was the final battle.
If he won, then Long Chen had truly changed the direction of life and death, and if he failed, that meant that he had reached the end. This was the most difficult and critical time.
At this moment, it was still the first time Lin Zichen had met him. He nonchalantly sized up Long Chen, and only now did his lips lightly move, as he said: "I"m really surprised that such a person like you appeared in Canyang Kingdom. However, you still have to go against the Imperial Family …"
"I"m not going against the royal family. I"m merely pestering you and not letting you go." Long Chen said indifferently."I had long heard that you were very bold, but now that I look at it, indeed, the six great commanders of Guard and the Da He family have all been annihilated by you. This time, the losses of the Imperial family are not just average, no matter how much I love talent, I will bring you back."
Lin Zichen raised his eyebrows, and continued: "Honestly speaking, I have already been alone in this Canyang Kingdom for too long. Thus, I wanted to give you some time to grow properly. Your matter has caused the imperial family to lose all face. My royal father has already ordered me, if I don"t kill you, let me lift my head to meet him! "
"There"s also this beautiful girl. Because of her, she also went to the Imperial City. I heard that my ninth brother died because of her. That idiot … However, his wish … it seems that I, as his elder brother, am going to finish him … "
