Chapter 5117 Eight Sons of Brahma
The head elder of the devil creatures was shocked to see the coffin empty, so he unleashed a heaven-shaking roar. “The altar, the Devil Spirit... You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, where are they?!”
“Don’t worry, they’re doing very well. I just moved them, and I’ll help you look after them,” replied Long Chen as he laughed mischievously.
Even in front of so many Earth Devils, Long Chen remained fearless. After all, the Devil Spirit had been captured, and the Earth Cauldron had the power to bring him away at any moment.
“Long Chen, I didn’t expect to meet you here. Do you know who I am?” Lu Fan shouted, thinking that Long Chen wouldn’t recognize him because of his mask.
“You are... Lu Fan? No, Lu Fan doesn’t have a scar on his face. Where did that scar come from? It looks like it was left by a shovel!” exclaimed Long Chen in feigned shock.
Lu Fan was shocked by this, thinking that Long Chen had a strange divine ability that allowed him to see through his mask.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Fan removed his mask, glaring at Long Chen. “You two are both third-rate trash. You don’t dare to fight me directly, so you can only set up sinister traps. Today, we’ll see if you still have anything up your sleeve!”
This scar was clearly left by Mo Nian through some unconventional means, and Lu Fan was still nursing a grudge over it.
“We’re third-rate trash? Then what are you, ninth-rate trash? Colluding with devil creatures to control all the races within the nine heavens and ten lands—someone so despicable calling others trash is laughable!” sneered Long Chen.
“You... you were eavesdropping?!” Lu Fan’s expression changed dramatically.
“If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it. Now that you’ve done it, why worry about others knowing?” Long Chen replied.
At this point, there was no need for Long Chen to hide anything. He was already mortal enemies with the Brahma Pill Valley and wasn’t afraid of increasing their enmity.
“Lock down Earth Devil Valley!” the elder roared. Countless devil creatures directly surrounded this place. The six six-vein Heaven Saints positioned themselves strategically, while the three-vein Heaven Saints formed a solid line. This place instantly became an impa.s.sable prison—not even a fly could escape.
Now that Long Chen knew their secrets, they couldn’t let him leave alive no matter what. The leader stepped forward to crush him, but Lu Fan shouted, “Hold it! He’s mine. I’m going to personally kill him and bring his head to Domain Lord Han Qianye.”
Smiling lightly, Long Chen said, “It seems you know about how I slapped Han Qianye. But I’m curious... since even a Human Emperor wasn’t a match for me, who gave you the courage to challenge me?”
The Earth Devils were all shocked, their expressions changing as they didn’t dare to believe their ears. He had slapped a Human Emperor in the face? That was crazy.
Lu Fan sneered, “I’ve long since heard of you—a despicable person with countless sinister tricks. You are truly the same as Mo Nian. You only know how to act shamefully. If you had run a bit slower, Domain Lord Qianye would have crushed you to bits with one palm. This place has been locked down, so show me where you’ll run this time. I’ll cut off your head first, and then I’ll kill that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Mo Nian.”
“Give it up. Mo Nian’s shovel almost cut your face in half, and the scar hasn’t even healed. Do you feel like you can stand here saying such big words?” asked Long Chen.
Lu Fan instantly exploded. “That b.a.s.t.a.r.d sneak attacked me! By the time I wanted to counterattack, he had fled! Otherwise, I’d have ripped him into a thousand pieces!”
“Alright, don’t be so emotional. Let’s pretend that everything is as you say. I believe you, okay?” Long Chen consoled Lu Fan.
Long Chen’s consolation was adding fuel to the fire. Gritting his teeth, Lu Fan declared, “Go ahead and make your move. I’ll make sure that you’re fully convinced of your defeat this time. I’ll show you the power of the Brahma line’s inheritance. I’ll make you despair at the power gap!”
Lu Fan pointed at Long Chen and beckoned, looking down at him with disdain.
“Stall a bit longer. The Demon Moon Cauldron is quickly merging, and Dragonbone Evilmoon is on the verge of awakening after my disturbance,” transmitted the Earth Cauldron.
Long Chen’s heart shook. Dragonbone Evilmoon had said not to disturb it unless it was a matter of life and death. For the Earth Cauldron to forcibly awaken it meant that Evilmoon was crucial in the fight against Lu Fan.
In front of Lu Fan’s provocation, Long Chen shook his head. “Before I attack, I have a question. I heard that you are one of Brahma’s eight sons? It seems that this position is a bit higher than the three thousand disciples, huh?”
Unaware that Long Chen was stalling, Lu Fan sneered, “The three thousand disciples of Divine Venerate Brahma are just elites who have pa.s.sed rigorous trials. Those who are more talented or powerful can compete for their positions. But I am different. I was chosen by the heavens from birth, blessed by Divine Venerate Brahma himself. As I bear Brahma’s divine mark, I am destined to inherit Divine Venerate Brahma’s legacy. The three thousand disciples are merely ants compared to me. How can you even compare them to me?”
“Oh, I understand. So you are someone the heavens chose, and what you have is something other people can’t obtain even if they work hard for a lifetime!” Long Chen said, nodding.
“That’s correct,” said Lu Fan proudly.
“Then tell me, what’s your ranking amongst the eight sons of Brahma?” asked Long Chen lightly.
Lu Fan’s face twitched, but he still sneered, “The eight sons of Brahma are all Divine Venerate Brahma’s children. There’s no way to rank us.”
“Hahaha!” Long Chen laughed. “Don’t tell me you’re ranked last of the eight sons? Are you the weakest of them?”
When Lu Fan introduced himself on the Glacial Heaven Plaza, he claimed to be ranked last, but that was a deliberate act of humility. No one would actually believe he was in last place. In reality, his ranking was a sensitive subject, and Long Chen’s mocking had hit him where it hurt the most.
“Shut your mouth!” Lu Fan roared, his face contorted with rage.
Unable to tolerate the provocation any longer, Lu Fan moved in an instant, appearing directly in front of Long Chen. The two were close enough that Lu Fan’s fingers, like sharp claws, reached for Long Chen’s face. He hated Long Chen’s smug expression very much.
Pow!
Just as Lu Fan attacked, Long Chen moved in response. Even though Long Chen’s attack came second, his palm landed on Lu Fan’s face before Lu Fan’s claw could reach him.
