Chapter 1005
There was a sea of people ahead . Hundreds of thousands of disciples were watching an intense battle . Sand and stone tore through the air alongside the powerful winds .
There were two figures on the battlefield . One was a beautiful figure surrounded by whirling wind blades . Like a celestial G.o.ddess, she was Tang Wan-er .
The one she was facing was a man in thick armor . That armor had runes the color of the ground, and powerful earth energy continuously surged towards him . It was the Western Desert’s heavenly genius, Yan Mochen .
“It’s sister Wan-er . Boss, let’s go cut down that ground beetle,” raged one of the Dragonblood warriors .
“Hey, what did I tell you guys before? This place is not the Eastern Wasteland . Don’t think about fighting and killing all day . Use kindness to subdue others . Furthermore, Wan-er isn’t losing . She hasn’t fought in a long time, so fighting a bit is good . Maybe then she won’t want to fight me all day . Let’s go find a good place to watch . ” Long Chen didn’t plan on immediately interfering . He wasn’t worried for Tang Wan-er at all .
She had obtained a powerful inheritance in the Immemorial Path . Combined with her refining the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood, her power was extremely great .
Most importantly, she was someone who had faced death with him several times and was a true expert forged through many great battles .
The wind blades around her surged and crashed like a tsunami . With two wind blades in her hands, she forced Yan Mochen to retreat miserably over and over again .
Fortunately for Yan Mochen, that thick armor around him was the Great Earthen Armor condensed from his core runes . It was his strongest defense, and the wind blades were all blown back when they struck it .
However, the wind blades also possessed immense destructive power, leaving countless nicks in his earth armor . He was forced to constantly draw out earth energy to repair those nicks, or his earth armor would have long since shattered .
All the experts watching were stunned . They had never imagined that a rank four Celestial like Tang Wan-er would be able to repeatedly force back the rank five Celestial Yan Mochen .
“Sister Wan-er is mighty!”
“Sister Wan-er is mighty!”
“Sister Wan-er is mighty!”
There was a group of people that were constantly cheering . When Long Chen looked over, he couldn’t help but laugh . Who could the person leading that group be other than Guo Ran?
Long Chen immediately saw Gu Yang’s bright head behind him . He was relieved to see him, and he brought his group over .
“Haha . Boss, you’ve come too! That Yan Mochen was such a d.a.m.n poser, saying that he could challenge the entire Eastern Wasteland . Thus, sister Wan-er decided to teach him a lesson,” explained Guo Ran with a smile .
“Did you manage to obtain the secrets of the wooden puppets?” Long Chen suddenly thought of the last time he had seen him .
“Ugh, it’s too depressing to talk about . The only thing I got was my own tears,” said Guo Ran sorrowfully .
“Gu Yang, how did you manage to get out of the illusion formation?” asked Long Chen .
“I…” Gu Yang blushed, causing Long Chen to be stunned .
“This little fellow paid someone to bring him out, hahaha!” laughed Guo Ran, his gloom vanis.h.i.+ng in an instant .
Gu Yang rubbed his head, embarra.s.sed . “There was no way around it . Otherwise, I’d have failed on the first part . ”
“Even that’s an option? Not bad, not bad . In truth, there are many things that money can solve . Sometimes it’s even more effective than martial strength, so it’s not embarra.s.sing,” laughed Long Chen .
“Oh, boss, look, our ferryboat has also come . He’s even looking wors.h.i.+pfully at you,” exclaimed the Dragonblood warrior who had spent a few days acting as a ferryman .
Long Chen quickly saw a pair of eyes filled with rancor glaring at him . That gaze clearly said he wanted to bite Long Chen to death . How was it wors.h.i.+pful?
That person was precisely the person who had been viciously put in his place twice, Han Yunshan .
“I wonder if the brother who bought him managed to make back his money?” laughed the Dragonblood warrior .
Long Chen ignored Han Yunshan . That idiot was nothing to him, unable to pose the slightest threat .
Han Yunshan was gathered with the Northern Source’s disciples . Although the people here looked to be in disarray, they were actually split into four regions .
Long Chen quickly saw a beautiful woman in the Southern Sea’s side waving slightly at him . She was Zhao Ziyan .
Long Chen smiled slightly and nodded toward her, which could count as a greeting . Guo Ran was shocked and wors.h.i.+pfully said, “Boss, you really are the boss! No matter who she is, any woman ends up captured in your hands! When it comes to seducing-”
A hand clamped onto Guo Ran’s throat . Long Chen raged, “Brat, when are you going to reserve yourself a bit?! I almost got killed several times because of you . Do you know how many times Tang Wan-er beat me in private because of your blabbing mouth? If you want to die, can you not bring me down with you?”
Long Chen’s fury immediately erupted . Because of Guo Ran, he had been interrogated by Tang Wan-er many times when no one else had been watching . Thinking of that, he ground his teeth .
“It was just a misunderstanding, boss! Furthermore, sister Meng Qi and Wan-er aren’t here . ” Guo Ran begged for forgiveness .
Only then did Long Chen release him . He wasn’t afraid of a G.o.d-like opponent, but he was afraid of a pig-like ally . He had been implicated by Guo Ran far too many times .
“Reporting to boss, that Wei Changhai is glaring at you,” said Guo Ran immediately after being released .
“Ignore him . They’re all just idiots . Is the entire Dragonblood Legion present?” asked Long Chen .
“Yes, they’re all here . But there are over seventy brothers that came with us that didn’t manage to pa.s.s,” said Guo Ran .
“Over seventy?” Long Chen sighed . Only five hundred people had come from the Eastern Wasteland, and the Dragonblood Legion had taken up most of those spots . Now that seventy had been taken from their number… it really was pitifully low .
For over seventy people to be unable to pa.s.s such a simple trial, the power difference was truly immense .
Long Chen looked around . Doing a rough estimate, he’d say there were less than seven hundred and fifty thousand people .
Of eight hundred and seventy-six hundred thousand disciples, only over a hundred thousand of them had been washed out . The failure rate wasn’t very high . Long Chen had originally thought that at least half of them would fail .
BOOM! Tang Wan-er suddenly summoned a huge wind blade and exchanged a head-on blow with Yan Mochen . Both sides fell back .
“Sister Wan-er is mighty! Beat this ground beetle!” cried Guo Ran . Gu Yang and the others also cheered along .
Although this exchange had ended in a draw, everyone could clearly see that it was Yan Mochen who was at a disadvantage .
Tang Wan-er’s attacks were too agile and drifting . She could attack from any angle with great destructive power . As for Yan Mochen, he had only managed to keep up thanks to an earth attribute expert’s great defensive power .
If this continued, then the attacking Tang Wan-er would have much higher odds of winning . As for Yan Mochen, he wouldn’t even have a chance to counterattack and would only be able to stall for time .
This result was unacceptable to the Western Desert’s people . It was they who had mocked the Eastern Wasteland the most, calling them dogs .
But now Yan Mochen, their top expert, a grand rank five Celestial, was at a disadvantage against a rank four Celestial . Their faces were burning hot as if they had just been slapped .
“Hmph, Yan Mochen refuses to use his full power against a woman . Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to last even a hundred exchanges!” cried one of the Western Desert’s disciples .
“You’re still alive?” Guo Ran was stunned . That person was the one who had come out to insult the Eastern Wasteland’s disciples first, Xie Wei .
On that day, he had almost been killed by a single slash of Yue Zifeng’s sword . If it hadn’t been for an Elder saving him, he’d have died . Then, Long Chen had slapped him so hard that he had fainted in front of everyone .
“Hmph, of course I’m still alive . You think an insignificant trial of this difficulty can stop me?” sneered Xie Wei .
“No, you misunderstand . What I meant was, you’re not embarra.s.sed to stay alive? You lost so much face that day that anyone else would have killed themselves out of shame . I admire your bravery,” praised Guo Ran .
“You!” Xie Wei almost coughed up blood . Guo Ran was intentionally picking at his scab . Thinking of how much face he had lost that day, he clenched his teeth but was unable to retort . He could only endure .
“Don’t be like this, I’m not trying to humiliate you . I really admire you . This is praise… Yes, it’s praise,” said Guo Ran .
Although he said it was praise, that evil smile made it so no one could believe him .
“Yan Mochen, next time you want to say such big words, you should consider your own power first . Don’t spout whatever you want, or you can come and try me any time,” said Tang Wan-er indifferently before ignoring him and returning to her side .
“Sister Wan-er is mighty!” cheered the Dragonblood warriors .
Seeing Long Chen looking at her with a mischievous smile, Tang Wan-er blushed slightly . She rebuked, “What are you looking at me like that for? Did I do something wrong?”
“You didn’t do anything wrong, but you said something wrong . ”
“What?”
“Your words were too filthy . ”
“Filthy? How?”
“Just look at how big he is . You want him to appraise his ‘c.r.a.p’ power before speaking? Don’t you think that it’s too filthy?”
Tang Wan-er didn’t understand for a long time . But seeing Guo Ran and Gu Yang smiling, she suddenly realized what he was saying .
“Long Chen, you’re disgusting!”
“Hahaha…”
Long Chen’s words truly were disgusting . Tang Wan-er couldn’t bear it, but the Dragonblood warriors all laughed . As for Yan Mochen, his expression sank .
Buzz .
Suddenly, s.p.a.ce shook, and a majestic pressure descended, causing everyone’s hearts to shake .
This is a pun on 分量 and 粪量 which sound the same, but Tang Wan-er’s says power, while Long Chen’s says c.r.a.p . So in Long Chen’s words, Tang Wan-er said, “next time you want to say such big words, you should first appraise your c.r.a.p . ”
