Chapter 419: Killing Lin Zichen

But what was up with the surprised cries from the people on the wall? Lin Zichen froze. He had a bad feeling. He quickly turned around and looked towards Long Chen’s direction. At that moment, he saw the Supreme Sovereign Sword that he was so proud of get forced backwards by Long Chen’s stronger attack. Then it shattered and turned into a large cloud of powder falling back on him. The Supreme Demon Sword carried with it the power of a fierce oceanic tide, instantly drowning Lin Zichen!

“No!” A scream full of despair that echoed across the skies above the battlefield. More than ten thousand people heard his scream; they felt goosebumps all over their bodies, and their scalps went numb.

They watched in shock as Lin Zichen’s final attack completely lost to Long Chen’s attack. Lin Zichen was swallowed by Long Chen’s Supreme Demon Sword!

While the scream of despair was still ringing in everyone’s ears, everything ended. Yellow sand fell gently, and the howling wind stopped. Everyone stared at Long Chen in a daze as he was the only person who remained standing in the whole battlefield. He put away the Demon Emperor Sword with utmost calm. His look of contempt made everyone draw in a sharp breath.

They all spotted a golden sword stabbed into the ground not far away from him—the Imperial Sword. They did not know where its owner was.

Lin Batian knew.

After Long Chen’s powerful attack, Lin Zichen was completely pulverized into dust, scattered in the air. Long Chen’s final strike was almost powerful enough to shatter Ginger City’s protective walls, let alone Lin Zichen’s tiny body.

The strongest prodigy of the Cangyang Kingdom had died in Long Chen’s hands right in front of Ginger City’s gates.

The people of Ginger City were not as emotional because all they had seen were two experts who were similar in strength dueling in an earth-shattering manner. However, the three thousand Ghost Riders, Eight Generals, and Lin Batian were overcome by a huge wave of shock. To them, this was a twist of events. They couldn’t help but rub their eyes to check several times in order to confirm that Lin Zichen really had disappeared from this world.

Lin Zichen was dead.

He had been killed by Long Chen using the Demon Emperor Sword.

This news would cause many people in the Imperial City to fall off their chairs in shock, including Lin Batian’s father, who was the most powerful master of the Cangyang Kingdom—the Sword Emperor!

Lin Batian was sitting on the ground, ghostly pale. He wasn’t worried that Long Chen would kill him; he was just too shocked by reality to remain in his chair.

Although he was competing against Lin Zichen, he was well aware of Lin Zichen’s importance in the Cangyang Kingdom. The Fourth Prince was basically the symbol of the kingdom’s cultivation world. On this day, this symbol had been stepped on. The individual behind it all had performed miracles, one after another, and his latest miracle had shaken the world.

He was Long Chen.

Everything was silent as they all stared at him.

He moved slightly, and everyone jumped in fear and quickly took several steps backwards.

At this moment, Long Chen was not as excited as he imagined he would be. He suddenly realized that Lin Zichen was only an obstacle in his path to growth. Now that he had kicked this obstacle down, he felt like his mind had opened. He knew that this battle would be the start of a new beginning, and not the end.

This was a brand new start. From today onwards, he would walk on an even wider path.

After he put away the Demon Emperor Sword, he looked up at the sky and suddenly felt as if the metaphorical clouds had opened up to reveal the moon. His heart was much brighter. He initially wanted to kill Lin Zichen to vent his anger, but now that the grudge had been resolved, he felt lighter.

He also put the Imperial Sword in his Universe Pouch.

I overdid it and everything was destroyed. If not, I would have been able to collect more stuff. Since I’m taking the Heavenly Demon Palace’s Demon Emperor Sword, I’ll leave the Imperial Sword with Master. There’s no difference between good and evil in the minds of the Demon Emperor Sword and the Imperial Sword anyway, thought Long Chen.

Xiaolang and Ling Xi happily made their way to his side. Xiaolang had turned back into his adorable state, looking at Long Chen with some admiration. Even he had to admit that even though he was Category Nine Earth-tier, if he fought Long Chen, despite having the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, he did not know who would win.

“Brother Chen …” Ling Xi was moved by this because she knew that Long Chen held a huge grudge against Lin Zichen. If it wasn’t for him, Ling Xi would not have abandoned the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus.

“What’s the matter? I’ve finally taken revenge. You should be happy, right?” Long Chen asked gently, holding her carefully in his palm.

“I’m not sad. I’m just very touched.” Ling Xi looked at Long Chen. Her bright eyes shimmered with tears.

“Silly girl.” Long Chen smiled in exasperation. “Even though I’ve killed Lin Zichen, it doesn’t mean anything. I haven’t gotten you the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit yet.”

“There’s no hurry for that,” said Ling Xi hurriedly. “Brother Chen, if other people bully me in the future, will you take revenge for me like this?”

“Of course. Anyone who touches even one hair on my Xiao Xi’s head will wish they were dead,” answered Long Chen with a grin.

“A true man must stick to his word. Don’t lie to me, alright?” said Ling Xi.

“Of course. Don’t you know what kind of a person I am? I am a man through and through. However, this man has some matters to attend to first. Xiao Xi, return to the Ling Xi Sword.”

“Alright.” Ling Xi nodded and obediently returned to the Ling Xi Sword. Long Chen called for Xiaolang to follow him and then dashed to Ginger City’s wall. Everyone stared in terror as Long Chen arrived in front of Lin Batian’s eyes. He was the devil in their eyes, and they quickly stumbled backwards when he approached. Not a single person dared to stand between him and Lin Batian.

“Lin Batian, do you understand why I beat you up just now?” Long Chen asked mildly.

“… I understand. With your strength, beating me up … is normal.” Lin Batian stared at him with a pale face. Despite trying to control himself, his legs were shaking slightly and he could not stand.

“Do you finally know to fear me?” Long Chen chuckled coldly.

“Long Chen, don’t kill me. I’m begging you. When they chased after you months ago, I was at war somewhere else. That was none of my business. Could you have lured Lin Zichen out without me?” Lin Batian explained hurriedly.

“Don’t worry, I will not kill you.” Long Chen paused, then continued, “However, you need to help me do something. Something very important!”

“Please, tell me. If I can do it, I will definitely do it!” Lin Batian was willing to risk it all at this critical juncture.

“What I want is actually very simple!” Long Chen looked up at the three thousand Ghost Riders and raised his voice, uttering every word slowly. “Lin Batian, go back and tell the Sword Emperor! Tell him that I have killed the Sword Devil and Lin Zichen. I believe that soon, I will return to the Imperial Capital once again! Ask him to clean his neck before then, because I, Long Chen, will kill him with the whole Imperial Capital as my witness! Do you all remember what I said?!”

Everyone looked at each other after they heard his dramatic declaration!

Initially, they thought he was powerful because he had killed Lin Zichen. However, announcing that his target was the Sword Emperor was a show of arrogance and insubordination. Did he say he wanted the Sword Emperor to clean his neck in preparation for a beheading?

Everyone drew in a sharp breath.

“Lin Batian, did you hear me? If you can’t do that, I’ll ask someone else. But if that happens, I won’t be able to guarantee that you’ll live,” Long Chen said coldly.

“I can do it! I can do it for sure!” Lin Batian said hurriedly. Long Chen’s declaration had stunned him. Of course, he was privately speechless at Long Chen’s ignorance and arrogance.

Lin Zichen was the number one prodigy of his generation, but Long Chen killing him was nothing. How strong was the Sword Emperor? He was a master at the Heavenly Passage Realm, and it was widely agreed that he was the number one master in the Cangyang Kingdom. They had even heard that the Heavenly Demon Palace’s Zhao Qingyun was not as strong as he was.

Of course, no one knew if those two had ever fought before. Right now, since a large portion of the Cangyang Kingdom was under the control of the imperial family, it was easy for the royals to toot the Sword Emperor’s horn.

“However, Long Chen, why do you want to kill off the whole imperial family? My father hasn’t tried to kill you, has he?” Lin Batian asked in a trembling voice.

“You all want to know why?” Long Chen smiled and looked at everyone. He said loudly, “I’ll tell you all, then. First of all, when you were chasing after me, the Sword Emperor must have given the command. Now that I have killed two of his sons and his younger brother, would he ever let me go? Also, there’s one thing that is even more important!”

Long Chen’s expression darkened and he slowly continued, “I used to have a brother. He was a member of the Mo family, which was one of the four great noble families of the Imperial Capital. However, when he was six, his entire family was killed off. You guys must know where this is going, right? Only the royals have the right to kill off a whole clan. That is why the Sword Emperor must die!”

Long Chen: Supreme Emperor Sword -> Supreme Demon Sword

Lin Zichen: Supreme Martial Sword -> Supreme Sovereign Sword ☜
