Chapter 5614 Long Chen vs. Long Zaiye
Long Chen was like a phantom, striking so quickly that no one could react. And yet, his movements seemed so slow that everyone saw them clearly.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
However, even though everyone could see it clearly, Long Zaiye was somehow unable to dodge it. It was only when Long Chen’s hand was about to strike his face that people saw Long Zaiye’s head start moving. But it was too late.
Long Zaiye flipped through the air three times before stabilizing. There was a clear handprint on his face now.
Countless eyes almost popped out of their sockets. People were unable to believe what they were seeing. Even the peak experts like Jiang Yue’e and Long Zimo were stunned.
They were unable to comprehend it. How did this seemingly ordinary slap manage to hit Long Zaiye?
Of all of them, only Feng Fei shook her head helplessly. “This fellow has always opened with this move.”
She understood Long Chen far too well. In truth, from the moment that Long Chen had taken Jiang Yue’es spot, she had noted that Long Chen was starting to move forward while speaking.
Long Chen had been judging the optimal distance to attack. Feng Fei had already predicted this outcome. This technique of Long Chen’s never failed.
Jiang Yue’e looked from Long Chen to Feng Fei in shock. Feng Fei had already told her about the ‘illustrious’ history of this move. Jiang Yue’e had been speechless. Who would train and refine a technique that had no killing power and that only humiliated the opponent?
However, thinking about it, sometimes the pain of the physical body simply couldn’t compare to the pain of mental humiliation.
This theory was already proven right here and now. Long Zaiye’s eyes instantly became bloodshot. There even seemed to be a viper wriggling into his pupils. He looked terrifying.
As for Long Chen, he looked at his hand and praised, “What a thick face! I’ve slapped countless people, but I’ve never seen someone with such a thick face.”
Somehow, this praise sounded extremely off.
Everyone was silent. The atmosphere was so thick that it felt solid. People could only hear the sound of their own heartbeats. Countless eyes locked onto Long Zaiye.
“Ignoring everything else, this courage is quite rare,” whispered Jiang Yue’e.
“Big sister Yue’e, you should distance yourself from him,” said Feng Fei suddenly.
“Why? Are you afraid that I can’t beat him?”
Jiang Yue’e was a bit displeased by that. She was also a peak heavenly genius who had never tasted defeat from ancient times to now. Other than Long Zaiye, no one was able to give her any sense of pressure. Even the Zhao clan and the Ye clan’s two peak heavenly geniuses were unable to enter her eyes.
“It’s not a matter of whether or not you can beat him. It’s just that… well, nevermind.” Feng Fei smiled bitterly.
Jiang Yue’e was baffled for a moment. Looking at her expression, she suddenly laughed. “Are you afraid that I’ll fall for this fellow?”
Feng Fei nodded.
Now it was Jiang Yue’e’s turn to be speechless. “I’ve seen countless people in my lifetime. Even in the primal chaos era, despite the countless monstrous heavenly geniuses there were, none were able to enter my eyes. You think that he can?”
Feng Fei simply smiled and shook her head. She and Jiang Yue’e were like sisters. It was not easy to find such a peerless expert as a backer. In the future, she would do everything to help her reach the peak of the nine heavens.
She was worried that Jiang Yue’e would end up on the same path as her. She had told Long Chen back then that it was because of how strong Long Zaiye was that she had lost her desire to continue competing for the position of number one on the martial path.
In truth, only she knew that it was because of her own concerns disturbing her Dao-heart that resulted in her giving up this path, causing her to change to supporting Jiang Yue’e.
“This is a nine star heir? Someone who uses lowlife sneak attacks? With the nine star line’s pride, there is no way that they could do such a thing. You definitely aren’t a nine star heir.”
Unexpectedly, after a few breaths, Long Zaiye suppressed his anger and spoke calmly.
“What a frightening fellow.” Long Zaiye’s words interrupted Feng Fei and Jiang Yue’e’s conversation. Both of their hearts shook.
They had always felt that Long Zaiye was an explosive, wild fellow with no control. But unexpectedly, he was still able to retain his cool after being slapped in the face.
Even Long Chen was startled. He had actually misjudged. This Long Zaiye was not just some brute..
“The nine star line numbers in the trillions. For a variant like me to appear is normal. Don’t be so close-minded. Since you have the blood of nine star heirs on your hands, it is fated for us to be enemies. Let’s not waste more words.”
After saying that, he looked around at everyone and announced, “My friends, can you all back up a bit? I don’t want you to get splattered with blood when the fighting starts.”
Countless people almost spat out blood. This was a legendary unrivaled warrior?
“This is a nine star heir? I just can’t believe it.”
“It’s impossible, absolutely impossible. How could a legendary warrior be so second-rate? He doesn’t seem at all like some peerless expert.”
“He’s definitely a fake. Just watch, his disguise will soon be torn apart.”
“He could have disguised himself as anyone, but he just had to choose the nine star line that is mortal enemies with the Brahma line? Was he tired of living?”
Countless people began to discuss it. Some people even began to jeer at Long Chen, saying that he was shameless and wasting everyone’s time.
Long Chen ignored them. His gaze had turned back to Long Zaiye. Although he acted frivolous, he was now getting serious.
Long Zaiye gave him a sense of immense pressure. In truth, that slap of his was also a probing blow.
Long Chen sensed that he hadn’t even pierced his instinctive defenses. In that case, he still couldn’t tell his true power. It could be said that he had truly encountered a powerful enemy this time.
“I was really angry just now. I almost lost control and just killed you with my full power. But I held myself back. Do you know why?” asked Long Zaiye.
“Do you think that I’m your long lost daddy?” asked Long Chen in shock.
This sudden turn almost made Jiang Yue’e and Feng Fei burst into laughter. They endured with all their might.
“This bastard.”
Even Jiang Yue’e couldn’t help cursing him. At this serious time, he was still in the mood to make such a joke.
Long Zaiye’s expression sank. A vein throbbed on his forehead. He was clearly reaching the limits of his control.
However, he still managed to endure. He coldly said, “That’s because I will drag out the full power of each nine star heir that I meet before slowly tormenting them to death. I like seeing those arrogant fellows suffer like dying dogs. If you are a nine star heir, then I’ll do the same. But if you aren’t, then I’ll make sure to make you suffer ten times what a nine star heir does.”
Long Zaiye’s figure suddenly shook, and what remained was only an afterimage. He appeared right in front of Long Chen and smashed his fist at him.
“What speed!”
Startled cries rang out. Feng Fei’s heart tensed. She knew that this battle might not end until one of them was dead.
In front of this sudden attack, Long Chen didn’t dodge. Instead, he unleashed his own punch.
