Chapter 327 - Courting Death
“Don’t occupy the latrine without pooping. Let your Lord Guo demonstrate for all of you what is called heaven shaking methods!”
Guo Ran’s arrogant voice sounded, causing everyone to cast their gazes behind him.
Guo Ran and Long Chen arrived in front of the cave entrance, and the disciples of both sides couldn’t help but take a step back.
In the eyes of the righteous disciples, Long Chen was an evil path in every sense of the word. Among the evil disciples, Long Chen was even more evil enough to make them fear him.
Guo Ran saw how his words scared the crowd so much that they all retreated in fear. He couldn’t help but feel pleased with himself.
Although it was a bit of a fox pretending to be a tiger, he wasn’t unnatural at all. His boss’s might was his glory.
Guo Ran was overjoyed to see those people glaring at him but not daring to make a sound, especially those powerful Dao Seeking(Favored) experts and Martial Saints(Chosen) who were looked down on by him.
Although the disciples of both sides were extremely dissatisfied with Guo Ran’s expression, they did not stop him from courting his own death when they saw that Guo Ran wanted to give it a try.
One had to know that there were already many experts who had come up with countless brilliant strategies, but none of them were able to make it through. Basically, all of them had their lives on the line, and no one believed that an ordinary core disciple would be able to make it through.
They felt that Long Chen might have come up with some ingenious plan, so they didn’t say anything and waited for him to make a move.
"Boss, I’ve already bragged about it. Are you sure you can send me over? “Don’t break the chain, otherwise you’ll be embarrassed!” Guo Ran walked to the entrance of the cave and whispered.
“Rest assured. There will definitely be no problems. After I send you over, there will be a tall platform. Stand on the platform and don’t move. Wait for me to go over first.” Long Chen quietly said.
Long Chen’s voice was filled with soul force. The others could only see Long Chen moving his lips, unable to hear what he was saying.
“Okay, what does boss want me to do?” When Guo Ran heard Long Chen’s words, he immediately felt his confidence multiply and his arrogance skyrocketed.
"Put your feet together, clasp your hands together in front of your chest, and lean forward!" Long Chen said.
Guo Ran was very obedient and quickly displayed an extremely cool posture. The most important thing was that his butt was extremely prominent, facing the two disciples of both the good and evil sides. He even shook his butt coquettishly.
Whether it was the righteous or evil disciples, all of them were gnashing their teeth in hatred. They all thought that Long Chen and Guo Ran were purposefully humiliating them.
“Let’s go!”
Just as Guo Ran was about to turn purple from anger when he looked at these people, Long Chen viciously kicked his butt as he was in a great mood.
"Aiya, what the f * ck!"
"Phew!"
Guo Ran immediately felt a strong force travel through his body. His entire being was like a sandbag as he was sent flying with a kick by Long Chen. He flew straight towards the cave and was so frightened that his face turned green.
However, Guo Ran immediately noticed that Long Chen’s kick was accurately aimed at the center of the cave and wouldn’t touch the wall.
He sped along with incredible speed. When he reached the end of the tunnel, a tall platform appeared. When Guo Ran flew out of the cave entrance, he coincidentally landed in the middle of the platform.
When the crowd outside saw Long Chen kick Guo Ran into the cave, they all jumped in fright. They all thought Long Chen was purposely trying to kill Guo Ran.
However, when they discovered the direction that Guo Ran was flying at, everyone’s eyes lit up.
However, they didn’t have as much soul power as Long Chen. They didn’t know how long this mechanism passage was, but from start to finish, they didn’t hear any sound of triggering mechanisms or screams, indicating that Guo Ran was safe and sound.
"Phew!"
The wind whistled as a figure jumped off the stone wall and shot into the cave like a cannonball, his speed even faster than Guo Ran’s.
“It’s Long Chen!”
Someone exclaimed, recognizing the figure.
"Haha, want to go over? "Die!"
Suddenly, the two Martial Saints(Chosen) in the righteous path made their move at the same time. The dozen or so flying daggers in their hands were like lightning. They flew towards Long Chen with a wind as strong as a mountain.
Long Chen couldn’t help but feel angry in his heart. This group of despicable fellows was simply courting death. When they saw the flying daggers flying towards him, he stretched out his right hand.
"Pah pah pah …"
His hands were like lightning as he caught all the throwing knives with his own hands. Then, he caught the strength of the flying knives and flew inside at an even faster speed.
“Let’s attack together!”
Those two Martial Saints didn’t expect Long Chen to have such a strong control over his power.
One had to know that of the ten or so throwing daggers, as long as one of them hit the stone wall, it would trigger the mechanism on the wall, and Long Chen would die without a doubt.
However, Long Chen had relied on a valiant method to catch all the throwing daggers in his hands without a single one escaping his grasp.
Actually, before the two had the chance to speak, quite a few people had already taken action. They threw flying daggers, daggers, bullets, and other similar weapons towards Long Chen.
However, after hearing the orders of the two, the disciples who were hesitating followed suit and took action as well. In that moment, the concealed weapons of the two evil and righteous experts blotted out the sky as they flew towards Long Chen.
Long Chen was frightened and anxious. With this kind of overwhelming attack, he didn’t even have the chance to dodge, much less block it.
The most hateful thing was that most of the attacks were not directed at him, but at the stone wall beside him.
Facing the attacks from so many people, even Long Chen’s expression changed. He was not afraid of those attacks. Rather, he was afraid of the consequences of them being attacked.
However, Long Chen couldn’t just sit there and watch. When those hidden weapons hit his body, his aura exploded and he slashed forward.
"Boom!"
Terrifying waves of air directly knocked away those concealed weapons. Usually, hidden weapons were common weapons, and they were not common amongst cultivators.
The main reason was that cultivators valued power more and looked down on concealed weapons, so their weapons didn’t have much offensive power.
However, they did not expect these hidden weapons to be able to kill Long Chen or even injure him. They did not expect such an outcome either.
boom rumble rumble *
Indeed, as Long Chen slashed out, the blast wave and the broken pieces of his weapon shook the passageway. Long Chen had already flown more than half the way. Suddenly, countless stone doors opened and steel arms stretched out.
Many hammers that were as large as small tables were held in their hands as they crazily swung about, emitting an ear-piercing sonic boom.
“Haha, Long Chen, this time you’re really awesome!”
Many orthodox disciples couldn’t help but laugh loudly when they saw that the mechanism was changed to a terrifying sledgehammer. That power was absolutely capable of turning a person into meat paste.
Guo Ran was the first to reach the end. When he turned around and saw that Long Chen had been set up by the crowd, he couldn’t help but grimace.
"Mad Autumn Wind Dance!"
With a low growl, the golden blade in Long Che’s hand rushed forward like a rolling mountain of blades, filling the sky with blade qi.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
An ear-piercing explosion sounded, causing the entire ancient tomb to shake. The earth shook greatly, and from time to time, there would be debris falling from the ancient tomb, scaring everyone to the point that they had to retreat, feeling like the ancient tomb was about to collapse.
At the same time, everyone was shocked. The mechanisms of the ancient tomb were too terrifying, but they were even more shocked by Long Chen’s battle prowess.
This was because the terrifying explosion from inside meant that Long Chen was not dead yet and was still frantically struggling.
Suddenly, the passageway regained its silence. Everyone looked inside and found that the entire passageway had regained its tranquility. The steel hands had also been withdrawn into the wall.
"Dead?"
“I didn’t see any corpses. Did they turn into minced meat?”
"There are traces of blood on the wall. They should be dead, right?"
As everyone looked at the tunnel, they saw bloodstains on the walls. It should have been left behind by Long Chen.
However, there wasn’t a lot of blood. If Long Chen had been smashed into meat paste, there should have been a large amount of blood.
But when he looked deeper into the tunnel, he was met with pitch-black darkness. He couldn’t see the end of it at all.
"Phew!"
Suddenly, someone threw out a illumination stone. It was a type of ore that could emit light, and its range was very wide. Once the energy inside was activated, even if the stone was useless, it would burn away all the energy inside the stone.
When everyone had just entered the hall, there were only three people who were willing to contribute this kind of ore to light up the hall.
In order to confirm whether Long Chen was dead or alive, he had no choice but to endure the pain. He threw out a piece, and after it was thrown out, the entire tunnel was lit up.
"Ah?" "So this tunnel was only about three hundred feet long!" At first, those people thought that they could not see the end of the tunnel and that it was only a few miles long. They never expected it to be so short.
“We didn’t see Long Chen’s corpse!” someone cried out in alarm.
This was because in the entire passageway, besides the bloodstain, there were no other ghosts. Everyone could not help but be bewildered.
At the end, one could see a high platform, but because the hole was too small, one couldn’t see the entire face of the platform.
“Boss, you died so miserably. This bunch of f * cking bastards, they’re all bastards that were struck by lightning. Why didn’t they all die out just like that …”
Suddenly, Guo Ran’s cry came from the end of the tunnel. It made everyone happy. With Long Chen dead, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
“Boss, you have lived the life of a hero, looking down on everyone else, yet you actually died miserably here. How am I supposed to live …” Guo Ran’s voice was extremely miserable as he sniffed the air.
“Hey, hey, that’s about it. Why are you crying so much? I almost thought that I was really dead,” Long Chen said in a low, unhappy voice.
At this moment, Long Chen’s right shoulder had exploded, and blood was flowing. Even his bones were exposed. That was a wound left from a hammer blow.
Thinking of those giant hammers, Long Chen felt a lingering fear in his heart. If he were to be struck in the head by a hammer, how could he still be alive?
After he passed through the huge hammer array, his feet directly touched the ground, passing through the last distance in the air and landing on the high platform.
If this was the last part of the mechanism, Long Chen would definitely die. Even so, when Long Chen was using all his strength to break through the Giant Hammer Formation, the Evil Slaying(Devil Decapitator) in his hands had actually caused several holes to appear.
At the same time, he hated those who were outside the sect to the point that even the roots of his teeth were itching. Compared to those evil disciples, Long Chen hated those righteous disciples even more.
He didn’t expect that the first to take action would be those disciples on the same path as him. The most hateful thing was that all of the righteous disciples had actually made their moves. This caused Long Chen’s killing intent to boil.
“Boss, only by crying like this can I show that you’ve really died to lure them in!” A sinister smile appeared on Guo Ran’s face.
"Phew!"
Just as Guo Ran finished speaking, a figure flew in, imitating Long Chen’s previous methods.
