Chapter 882 - Nine Spinning Star Cluster

It was indeed difficult to face off against a Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage foe, especially since the domain was difficult to resist. But Long Chen wanted to test the strength of the Yin and Yang Sword Root, so he channeled the Yin and Yang energy into the Three Thousand Star Clusters.

While he was ignored by pretty much everyone, he suddenly released a blinding light. Even the men who were supposed to attack the rest of the Barbaric Bear Tribe decided to surround him instead.

“Hey, why does this Sword Warrior look strong?”

Their focus turned to Long Chen.

“Who cares? I will just test how strong he is!” The man who had used his domain laughed, then black mist wrapped around his body,

The man fashioned the black mist into something sharp before shooting it towards Long Chen!

“Blood Devouring Domain!”

The red space covered everyone. Long Chen had trapped five of the men inside of his Blood Devouring Domain!

Long Chen didn’t underestimate them, because he knew how strong they were. He used his Dragon Soul Transformation and the power of the Yin and Yang Sword Root. His body exploded in power as he roared. His Blood Devouring Domain and regular domain expanded outwards at the same time to destroy the other party’s domain.

“What is this?”

All five men shouted in fear.

“He’s too mysterious! He’s actually affecting our blood! Kill him quick!”

The men were experienced and immediately worked together to kill him. Killing their opponents had always been the most reliable way to survive a fight.

“River Blade!”

“Heavy Dragon Elephant Fist!”

“Sky Shaking Seal!”

“Earth Splitting Seal!”

Various attacks were launched towards Long Chen.

Back in the Ancient Graveyard, the Seven Lords had left a lot of treasures. That was how many of the cultivators obtained their advanced Emperor-tier martial techniques. But advanced Emperor-tier martial techniques weren’t common. If the demons were interested in them, they would’ve long taken them away.

That was why the experts in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory all had advanced Emperor-tier martial technique even though they were only at the Second Heavenly Martial Stage at most. The people in the Three Royal Territories mostly had elementary Emperor-tier martial techniques even though they were at the Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage. At most, they would have an intermediate Emperor-tier martial technique as their ultimate move.

But Long Chen had two advanced Emperor-tier martial techniques. One was the fusion of the Five Emperor Seals, and the other was the Three Thousand Star Clusters Spear Manual.

Long Chen’s eyes were serious as he swung the Three Thousand Star Clusters around him. The Blood Devouring Domain had not only drained the attackers’ strength, but also clouded their vision.

“Three Thousand Star Clusters Spear Manual, Nine Spinning Star Clusters!”

The Three Thousand Star Clusters Spear Manual complemented Long Chen’s domain and was performed perfectly. Now that Long Chen was at the Second Heavenly Martial Stage, he could use the Three Thousand Star Clusters more easily. A radiant starlight transformed into a sharp edge that swung around Long Chen like a whirlpool before it flew towards the men!

The Three Thousand Star Clusters Spear Manual was one of the strongest advanced Emperor-tier martial techniques!

When he used it, the numerous spears pierced through the men’s techniques. Long Chen had roughly the same amount of essence as they did. Thanks to the Blood Devouring Domain’s suppressive effect and the Yin and Yang Sword Root’s incredible power, along with the advanced Emperor-tier martial technique and Divine Weapon, Long Chen was capable of suppressing all five of them at the same time!

“Ah!”

The men cried in pain when Long Chen thrust the spear. The starlight pierced through three men at the Third Heavenly Martial Stage and killed them instantly. To think that Long Chen was capable of killing someone at the Third Heavenly Martial Stage so easily!

The other two were at the Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage, but they were severely injured. Long Chen smacked and tossed them towards where Xiong Jun was. The two men coughed up blood as they flew through the air.

“Tie them up and hold them tight.”

Long Chen’s voice was cold.

Xiong Jun and the others were shocked. It wasn’t until the two injured men landed in front of them that they tied them down. Xiong Jun’s broad palm grabbed an injured man’s neck. When he exerted a little force, the man’s neck started bleeding and he coughed up blood. The man’s face was pale as he stared at Long Chen. It was as if the latter was a demon.

To think that someone at the Second Heavenly Martial Stage could kill them so easily and so fast. They would’ve all been dead if Long Chen hadn’t shown them mercy.

“How... How is he that strong?”

Xiong Jun and the others felt their scalps go numb when they looked at Long Chen and the ice-cold spear. Long Chen looked weak, but he was terrifying when he was serious! Xiong Jun had a feeling that the amount of people he had killed would not even amount to a tenth of Long Chen’s body count.

Long Chen’s bloodlust was definitely something he had accumulated by killing a lot of people.

“Come here!”

Xiong Jun and the others brought their hostages to Long Chen after hearing his command. They knew that Long Chen was going to exchange hostages for Xiong Wan’er. Xiong Jun changed the way he viewed Long Chen. Rather than underestimating him, he was now very grateful.

“Big Brother, I’m sorry for offending you just now. I will kneel down if you save my sister.”

Xiong Jun wasn’t that bad after all. At the very least he was honest.

Long Chen ignored him and instead looked at the two remaining men. “I won’t say much. Give her back to me in one piece and I won’t kill you. I can rescue her if I use my full strength, but I can’t guarantee your lives if I do.”

His cold voice, icy stare, and bloodlust were very oppressive. The men holding onto Xiong Wan’er were scared even though they regularly killed people for fun.

The hands holding onto Xiong Wan’er loosened a little.

Xiong Wan’er was at the Third Heavenly Martial Stage, so she wasn’t weak at all. While the two men were stunned, she gathered her essence and punched backwards. She used the impact to run towards Long Chen.

Long Chen was very satisfied with her reaction. He ran to her to secure her safety.

Without a hostage, the two men looked at each other and said, “We’ve returned the girl. Please keep your word and return our brothers to us.”

Long Chen chuckled. He let Xiong Wan’er get behind him and then swung the Three Thousand Star Clusters. “Unfortunately, she came back on her own accord!”

Long Chen charged towards the two men. He had already defeated five of them, so the remaining two were a piece of cake. Xiong Jun and the others watched in awe as Long Chen stabbed their limbs and crippled them completely. The fight ended swiftly.

The two men glared at Long Chen and cursed, “You brat! How dare you go back on your word! You said you wouldn’t kill us! How dare you go back on your word as a warrior!”

Long Chen put the Three Thousand Star Clusters away and undid his transformation. He then smiled at them plainly. “First, I’m not a warrior. Second, I won’t kill you. But that doesn’t mean the others will let you live. Xiong Jun, attack!”

Long Chen’s brutality and slyness had won Xiong Jun over completely. He laughed and snapped the hostages’ necks before he ran towards the two men on the ground.

“You brat! You must die!” the two men shouted in despair.

“You have to pay the price one way or another. You should’ve prepared for a day like this. If I wasn’t here, they would’ve been the ones to die instead. Unfortunately, you won’t see me die.”

Right after Long Chen said that, Xiong Jun snapped their necks too. All seven of them had died by Long Chen’s hand just like that.

The Barbaric Bear Tribe looked at Long Chen with awe and respect.

They followed Xiong Jun and Xiong Wan’er to kneel down in front of Long Chen, saying, “Thank you for saving our lives!”

Xiong Jun said, “It was wrong of me to offend you last time, but you did not take it to heart and even rescued us! I wish to become your servant and work for you!”

Long Chen chuckled. “There’s no need to become my servant. I just want to ask if I’m qualified to join your journey to Scarlet Water City?”

Xiong Wan’er chuckled. “Of course. It’s our honor to have you protecting us, Big Brother Long Chen.”

“In that case, let’s go. The stench of blood is very heavy here. We need to leave now if we don’t want to die!”

“Alright!” With Long Chen guarding them, they were all smiling happily. Long Chen’s performance had won them over.

Long Chen smiled bitterly when they called him “big brother.” He was definitely younger than them, but they all thought he was older.

It was normal for someone to look like Long Chen in their twenties. Unfortunately, everyone grew up slower here in the Three Royal Territories.
