Chapter 881 - Amateur

There were seven men in black in the other group. They looked much older. Long Chen estimated that they were in their thirties, which meant that their true age was somewhere in the hundreds. At their current age, they were seen as young adults in the Three Royal Territories.

They were not people who the Barbaric Bear Tribe could deal with right now. Each of them was at the Third and Fourth Stages of the Heavenly Martial Realm; they were also exuding dense killing intent and bloodlust, meaning that they had murdered even more people than the average cultivator. The youths could never win against them.

Even though they were fewer in number, their cultivation levels were higher and their techniques were stronger. They showed no mercy when they killed, and they took their victims’ storage rings with ease.

Three youths had died by the time Long Chen arrived. The ones who were dead were at the Second Heavenly Martial Stage. To think that people who could’ve ruled the Ten Thousand Nations Territory would die just like that.

Even though the youths and the men in black were roughly the same strength, the gap in battle experience was vast. That was why the youths had died.

Jun Xiong was very brave, because he was fighting an opponent at the Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage and was even pushing the man back! Every time Jun Xiong punched, his fist unleashed a profound destructive power. It looked simple, but it was powerful. Long Chen was certain that someone at the Long-Bearded Guest’s level would die with just one hit.

Everyone except for Jun Xiong was losing their battle, including the girl called Xiong Wan’er.

She was at the Third Heavenly Martial Stage, but two men at the Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage were suppressing her. They completely overpowered her and started tearing off her clothes without mercy.

“Little lady, stop moving or I will kill you!”

The men pushed her down and smiled deviously.

“Sister!” Xiong Jun's eyes were red from anger. He tried to break away from his fight to save his sister, but this only gave his enemy a chance to attack him!

“Ground Splitting Seal!”

A large seal appeared in the man’s palm as he ran towards Xiong Jun’s back. The golden seal in his palm radiated a lot of power.

“Xiong Jun, behind you!” Xiong Wan’er cried.

Xiong Jun was almost hit by the man when Long Chen stepped in. He broke off a branch and threw it towards the man’s face. The branch turned into a black streak and reached the man instantly!

The branch would never be able to block the man’s intermediate Emperor-tier martial technique, but Long Chen’s goal was to scare him. As expected, the man was shocked by the branch and jumped backwards.

Crack!

The branch stabbed into a tree, causing it to shake violently. Long Chen had thrown it with a lot of force.

“Who’s there?”

They were almost done killing the youths when someone stopped them. The men weren’t afraid, because they were used to killing. They stopped and charged towards Long Chen instead.

Using this chance, everyone except for Xiong Wan’er, who was still being held down, gathered together. They were now injured and weren't looking as great as before.

They were confused too. Who had just saved them?

They saw a calm man walking out of the woods. He was tall and strong. It was none other than Long Chen!

“It’s you!” Both Xiong Jun and Xiong Wan’er were shocked, but soon, their surprise turned into sadness. They thought their elders were here to save them; they never thought it would be Long Chen.

It seemed they would all die here today.

“Why are you here?” Xiong Jun glared at Long Chen.

The others were speechless too. They had just bullied Long Chen and didn’t want him to see how disheveled they were.

After seeing their reactions and examining Long Chen’s aura, the men laughed. “So it’s just another amateur. You are indeed fearless for interrupting our hunt! You even scared our brother! We will torture and kill you for that!”

“Just do it. I can’t believe that you would get surprised by a chick. What a joke.”

“We will deal with the rest of them. You two can take your time, but don’t break her. We want to have our fun with her too. She’s too pretty to die right now; we have to keep her alive for a few days at least.”

The two men that were pinning Xiong Wan’er assured the rest that everything was fine. “Don’t worry and go crazy. Stop wasting time now. I can’t hold back anymore when I see her face like this.”

“Ha! You might be strong, but you will certainly lose to her in bed.”

“Hahaha!”

The men laughed and ignored Long Chen while Jun Xiong glared at them angrily.

“Leader, what should we do?”

“What else? Fight to the death!” Jun Xiong howled and was about to attack when someone stopped them.

“Go back.” Long Chen had his back to them as he took out the Three Thousand Star Clusters.

“What?” Xiong Jun thought he had misheard him. He grew angry at Long Chen and snapped back, “You better scram! I will skin you if something happens to my sister! I’ve actually skinned someone before!”

“Is that so?”

With a

whoosh

, the tip of the Three Thousand Star Cluster was positioned just in front of Xiong Jun’s nose. One more centimeter and it would’ve stabbed into his nose.

“So fast ...” Everyone was shocked because they couldn’t see Long Chen’s movement at all. Wasn’t he only at the Second Heavenly Martial Stage?

“How did he do that?”

“I didn’t see it.”

Xiong Jun was the most surprised. He hadn’t even seen the spear move before it was right in front of his nose.

Long Chen could stab him at any time.

Long Chen wasn’t the most patient person. Xiong Jun was boastful and arrogant, the type that wouldn’t learn until he was given a warning.

“One more peep from you and I will stab your eye. Don’t doubt me—I actually did that before.”

Bloodlust seeped out of Long Chen. It was the dense kind of bloodlust that only someone who had killed a lot of people could emanate. His bloodlust was stronger than that of everyone here. Xiong Jun thought he wasn’t looking at a man, but a massive beast.

So he stepped back silently.

“Boss, what’s wrong?” the others asked.

“He dares to point his spear towards us! We must kill him!”

“Wait, don’t move and don’t talk. Let him die. It doesn’t concern us,” Xiong Jun told them.

He didn’t know why, but he wanted to see Long Chen in action. He knew that Long Chen was only at the Second Heavenly Martial Stage. Could he really defeat all of the men?

The men were laughing at what Long Chen was doing. The two men who had been pinning down Xiong Wan’er couldn’t resist and tried to help themselves, but Xiong Wan’er wasn’t going to take it like that. She resisted wildly and used her essence to stop them.

She was also staring at Long Chen.

“It’s him again? Is he an Armament Warrior? His spear looks strong ...”

She was worried because Long Chen was weak; he was only at the Second Heavenly Martial Stage. How could he win against these men?

“Long Chen, run away! This doesn’t concern you at all!” Xiong Wan’er shouted amidst her sobbing.

“Stop talking and kill him now,” one of the men said. The others followed his order. They sent one of them to fight Long Chen while the others attacked the rest of the Barbaric Bear Tribe.

There are so many experts here even though I’ve just reached this place. It might be a bad idea to go into this without picking my fights carefully. I need to find more support here.

Long Chen was silent.

He only transformed into his dragon form. The blood-red scales covered his body in an instant.

“Is that a Beast Warrior? Interesting. A Beast Warrior and a Sword Warrior at the same time. But unfortunately, you are only at the Second Heavenly Martial Stage, so I can just kill you with my domain.”

The person facing Long Chen was at the Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage!

He unleashed his domain and covered Long Chen with it. Long Chen also had a domain, but since he was only at the Second Heavenly Martial Stage, it was useless against a Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage opponent.
