Chapter 1016: 1016
That was the beautiful expert that had said she would accept all talented and beautiful women to her side . Now she was in front of Long Chen .
More precisely, she was in front of Tang Wan-er and didn’t even look at Long Chen .
“Junior sister, your strength is not bad . Join my faction . There’s no need to rely on a pack of smelly men,” said she .
Long Chen was just a bit surprised at first, but her words made him frown slightly . The insults towards men that came out of her mouth were irritating .
Her tone was icy, but her beauty gave off a feeling of innate haughtiness and grandeur . It made it so the Dragonblood warriors were unable to express their anger . It was like she was an arrogant peac.o.c.k . Although she was arrogant, she had the qualifications to be, making people feel like her arrogance was simply natural .
Long Chen frowned but didn’t say anything . It seemed that this phrase did have a bit of reason behind it . Compared to women, men really did smell more . But if men had to wear perfume all over their body, it would be too annoying . Being a bit stinkier was better .
“Me?” Tang Wan-er was stunned . She hadn’t expected this powerful woman to take the initiative to invite her .
“You don’t need to have any misgivings . If anyone is threatening you, just tell me and I’ll trash him . ” That woman glanced at Long Chen coldly, her meaning was clear .
Seeing her dense hostility made Long Chen even more irritated . He had seen countless people now, and with his experience, he could basically see through a person’s character with a glance . This was a powerful but conceited woman .
Whether it was in terms of power or beauty, she truly had the right to be conceited . But he refused to be threatened by her .
“My temper’s not good . Don’t think that I won’t beat you just because you’re a woman . Let me tell you, when I get angry, I even beat myself,” he said, glaring at her without yielding a step .
After saying this, he clearly felt the Central Plains’ disciples become silent . They stared at him in shock . Quite a few people had wors.h.i.+pful looks, while even more had expressions delighting in his misfortune . There were also some who had been prepared to see a good play like this from the start and were full of expectations .
“This brat’s definitely dead . The Hundred Flower Fairy hates it when people discriminate against her for being a woman,” muttered some people . This woman’s temper was something all the Central Plains’ disciples were aware of .
“Brat, you dare look down on me, Hua s.h.i.+yu? Do you believe me when I say I’ll twist your head off?!” As expected, she frowned and a cold aura began to rise .
Suddenly, millions of flower petals appeared, revolving around her . Boundless pressure erupted . Each one of those flower petals had five-colored runes moving within them . They surged into the sky, forming a huge phoenix .
The phoenix was lifelike and even let out a beautiful phoenix cry that resounded throughout heaven and earth, causing countless people’s expressions to change . That voice contained a terrifying spiritual suppression . It was like it truly came from an ancient G.o.d, making people have an urge to kneel in wors.h.i.+p .
Even the distant Su Mo’s expression twitched . Closely staring at Hua s.h.i.+yu and the phoenix formed of flower petals, two words involuntarily escaped his mouth . “Ancient art . ”
Long Chen was startled by this power . Although he had known she was powerful, he hadn’t expected it to have reached this level . That phoenix behind her was like a powerful ninth rank Magical Beast .
In front of this inviolable Hua s.h.i.+yu, Long Chen indifferently spat out, “I don’t believe that . ”
That made everyone from the Central Plains take in a cold gasp of air . Was Long Chen really looking to die?
Hua s.h.i.+yu’s expression sank . Her phoenix’s runes lit up, and its powerful aura locked onto Long Chen .
In that instant, Long Chen jumped in shock . He suddenly felt like an ancient beast had set its gaze on him . What would follow would probably be a thunderous attack, and he was just about to release his own power to defend .
“That’s enough . Do I need to explain that this is against the rules?”
Just at this moment, Su Mo’s cold voice rang out . Hua s.h.i.+yu glared at Long Chen, her aura not weakening at all because of Su Mo’s words .
Long Chen glared back at her . His spiritual yuan was already circulating within him, and he was ready to attack at any time .
He knew these Central Plains geniuses were on a completely different level than Yan Mochen and the others . They were true experts, and once they fought, it would definitely be a heaven-shaking battle .
But he was confident he wouldn’t lose . This was the confidence built up from never experiencing a loss to anyone in the same realm . It hadn’t happened in the past, and he was confident it wouldn’t happen in the future .
Long Chen glared at Hua s.h.i.+yu, and Hua s.h.i.+yu glared at him . Neither side took even half a step back . Hua s.h.i.+yu’s aura continued to rise .
Long Chen was starting to be unable to endure it . If he didn’t release his power, he would be forced into a disadvantageous position, and if Hua s.h.i.+yu attacked at that time, he would be instantly defeated .
Just as he was preparing to summon his divine ring, Hua s.h.i.+yu retracted her aura, and her huge phoenix let out a cry as it decomposed into flower petals that then faded in the air .
When those flower petals disappeared, Yan Mochen, Wei Changhai, and Han Yunshan were all startled . Now they understood the true terror of merging with heaven and earth .
A portion of Hua s.h.i.+yu’s Heavenly Dao runes stayed within her body, while another portion was merging with the s.p.a.ce around her, and they couldn’t be sensed by others .
In battle, she could release her full power in the shortest time possible . If her opponent wasn’t ready, they would be instantly killed .
This was also why Yan Mochen was suppressed from the start against his opponent . This was the power of merging with heaven and earth .
Furthermore, when they weren’t in battle, that portion of Heavenly Dao runes in the s.p.a.ce around them would give them a close connection to heaven and earth, making it easier for them to comprehend the Heavenly Daos .
“Hmph, I’ll let you off today . Don’t provoke me again, or you won’t be so lucky . ” Hua s.h.i.+yu suddenly turned to look at Tang Wan-er . “Junior sister, come . Men are never reliable, and being powerful yourself is the correct path . ”
“Thank you for your kindness, but I’d prefer to stay here . Other than that, Long Chen really is a good person . I hope you won’t make things hard on him,” said Tang Wan-er .
For some unknown reason, Tang Wan-er felt some wors.h.i.+p for this female expert . She saw another kind of beauty from her . So a powerful and domineering woman was also so moving .
“Alright . If you have any troubles, just tell me . The Heaven Female Alliance’s door will always be open to you . ” Hua s.h.i.+yu nodded and left .
But before leaving, she didn’t forget to glare at Long Chen threateningly .
“Heaven Female Alliance?” said Long Chen as he watched Hua s.h.i.+yu leave .
“This big sister is very powerful . To tell the truth, I really am a bit moved by her proposal,” said Tang Wan-er .
Long Chen’s face immediately turned dark . “Girl, do you not have the slightest trust in me?”
“No, not that . I was thinking of helping you form an alliance . ” Tang Wan-er stuck out her tongue at him .
Guo Ran raised his hand . “I agree with that plan . ”
Gu Yang: “Seconded . ”
Song Mingyuan: “I second it plus one . ”
Li Qi: “Same . ”
“Shut up!” Long Chen raged, “All of you want to go against me? You want to play this voting game with me? Stop messing around . The upcoming trial is not going to be ordinary . Start getting tense and stop spouting nonsense . ”
These brats had all been led astray by Guo Ran . Instead of learning other things, they had become experts in talking nonsense .
“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen…” Just at this moment, a man hesitantly walked over .
At this time, the four regions’ disciples had all run over to the Central Plains’ side, wanting to find a good faction to rely on . Only this person came over to Long Chen’s side .
“Qian Duoduo, come over . Stay with us . ” Long Chen smiled . This was the person who had been peddling those miraculous and divine seeds .
“Many thanks!” Qian Duoduo was so delighted that his voice quivered slightly .
Previously, he had already run over to the Central Plains’ side, but none of them had wanted him . And so he could only return and ask Long Chen .
He hadn’t expected Long Chen to agree without saying another word . The Dragonblood Legion had never admitted new people before .
“Guo Ran, you bring him along during the trial . ” Long Chen left Qian Duoduo with Guo Ran . Qian Duoduo’s power truly wasn’t that great .
“No problem . Brother, stick with me and I’ll carry your posing arts soaring over the horizon . ” Guo Ran patted Qian Duoduo’s shoulder .
“What…?”
Qian Duoduo didn’t know how to reply to that . Long Chen laughed, “Don’t look down on him just because he talks drivel . His power is definitely reliable, and as long as you stay with him, you’ll be fine during the trial . ”
Hearing that, Qian Duoduo was much more relieved . He didn’t get the feeling that Guo Ran was extremely powerful .
The Dragonblood Legion was an isolated faction now . But they weren’t accepting others, so they didn’t affect the other factions’ recruiting . Naturally, no conflicts arose from that .
Long Chen saw that the powerful Central Plains’ experts had accepted many elites into their camps . But there were over thirty thousand disciples that had been excluded .
These disciples decided to form their own factions since no one else had claimed them . They had the numbers, but not the power . However, there was no way around that . If they didn’t band together, their chances of surviving the trial would be even lower .
Seeing that the factions had been formed, the taciturn Su Mo finally opened his mouth . “The inner sect trial can start now . I wish you good luck in surviving to the end!”
BOOM!
Suddenly, a loud explosion erupted, and the world changed around them . Their vision darkened, and they appeared in a desolate valley without the slightest life . Brutal auras crashed upon them .
Before they could even figure out what was happening, furious roars shook the heavens . Countless figures charged out from every direction .
