<h4>Chapter 225 Asking to be Killed</h4>


    Trantor: BornToBe


    When the iron gate closed, the rebirth monolith at the top of their heads began to slowly descend. ording to Elder Tu Fang, they only had two hours.


    If they couldn’t kill their opponent in two hours, the rebirth monolith would fall, and their fates would be the same as those two ‘drawings’ from before.


    Wu Qi unsheathed his longsword, and the aura of the peak mid Tendon Transformation realm immediately erupted.


    “This son of a b*tch was actually hiding his strength!” raged Wilde. When he had fought Wu Qi, Wu Qi had clearly not possessed such power!


    “Foolish kid, that’s obvious. This is a life and death battle, not a normal fight. Who would hold anything back?” scolded the old man.


    “Bastard, if I had known he was so sneaky, I would have smashed him with my club!” Wilde regretfully raged.


    “Ah, just watch calmly.”


    Wu Qi’spletely unrestrained aura astonished everyone. Even from hundreds of meters away, they could still sense an incredible pressure. Wu Qi was much, much stronger than those previous twow enforcers.


    Tang Wan-er and the others were incredibly worried now. But then seeing how calm Long Chen looked atop the death-deciding stage, they calmed back down a bit.


    The current Long Chen did not appear angry, nor did he appear nervous, nor did he appear afraid. His eyes were merelypletely calm, a calmness that was even a bit frightening.


    There was not even the slightest emotion of his face. It was like he was just a spectator watching this.


    “Now that you’re about to die, you suddenly decide to be calm?” Wu Qi raised his sword. The space around it was constantly trembling from its might.


    “The person who will die is you,” Long Chen icily replied, his bone de resting on his shoulder, his aura constantly rising.


    His huge divine ring appeared behind him. Even the huge rebirth monolith was unable to block it from crazily absorbing energy from heaven and earth.


    Long Chen’s aura quickly rose, going from a small kitten to a fierce tiger.


    At the same time, a rumbling came from his body. His aura caused the space around him to be unstable.


    “What sound is that?”


    Everyone could hear an extremely odd sound. It was almost like the roaring of a river.


    Wilde’s master, Ling Yun-zi, and Tu Fang all looked in shock at Long Chen. They had found the source of that sound.


    “It’s the sound of his blood flowing…” Tu Fang muttered to himself.


    That was the roaring of Long Chen’s blood. That was something that would happen when people entered the peak of Blood Condensation.


    But for most cultivators, if that sound was able to be heard even a meter away, that would already mean they were extremely powerful.


    If that sound could be heard over a couple meters away, that meant a person’s qi and blood had reached a shocking point, that their physical body was withoutpare. Even Gu Yang with his powerful physical body was only able to let that sound transmit out thirty meters.


    But now Long Chen’s blood sounded like the pounding of a war drum. It could be clearly heard even five hundred meters away, and it even echoed along the surrounding mountains. It was truly shocking.


    This fight was not the same as when he had fought Gu Yang. Although Long Chen detested Gu Yang and them, they were all cultivators who were struggling for resources. And so he didn’tpletely hate them.


    But Little Snow’s miserable state hadpletely infuriated him. That desire to ughter, which he had suppressed for so long, finally erupted.


    Long Chen had always been a bit afraid of this desire for ughter within him. He could sense that this desire came from the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art.


    This desire had erupted out of his control once before. That was when his whole family’s lives had been at stake. At that time, Long Chen had killed that white-robed man.


    But by now he had realized that that white-robed man was actually only slightly stronger than the secr world’s Tendon Transformation cultivators. He wasn’t even close to the same level as the Tendon Transformation experts in the monastery. That was the difference betweening from a weak sect and a powerful sect like the Xuantian Monastery.


    Facing a true peak mid Tendon Transformation expert now, Long Chen also didn’t hold anything back,pletely letting out his desire for ughter.


    Only when he no longer suppressed that desire would the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art reach its peak state. His blood roared, and countless golden particles flowed within it, his aura bing increasingly powerful.


    “Not bad, but it’s unfortunate you’re only a brat in the Blood Condensation realm. Today, the only one who will die is you! Maybe you should say some final words to your friends now; otherwise you won’t have a chanceter,” sneered Wu Qi.


    The energy from Long Chen’s body immediately doubled.


    Pointing his bone de at Wu Qi, Long Chen icily said, “Put away your infantile words. If you try to give me, Long Chen, a psychological blow, then that will just reveal your own heart’s terror.


    “Do you think I can’t see the panic in your eyes? You’re afraid, afraid of being unable to kill me in the time limit and dying with me.


    “You want to break my confidence, hoping to use words to break my spirit. Don’t bother.


    “In my life, I, Long Chen, have been attacked by countless enemies. I’ve experienced countless life and death battles, and I’ve walked out from the line between life and death. Do you really think your juvenile methods are able to shake my confidence?”


    Long Chen’s voice was full of disdain. His powerful confidence made is so that no one doubted the veracity of his words.


    Song Mingyuan and them were astonished. If what Long Chen said was true, then he had really experienced absolutely terrifying things.


    “Tch, rubbish. Since you don’t want to be more tactful, then you can just die now.” Wu Qi roared and rushed at Long Chen, ruthlessly shing his sword at Long Chen’s face.


    His attack was extremely fast; as soon as he had moved, his sword had already practically reached Long Chen. His footwork was extremely sly.


    But what shocked everyone was that Long Chen acted as if he didn’t see Wu Qi’s sword, stabbing his bone de at Wu Qi’s stomach.


    The bone de was over three meters long. The instant Wu Qi’s sword would slice through Long Chen’s face, his bone de would also definitely pierce through his stomach.


    This was a move to bring down an opponent with you, a suicide move. But Long Chen’s expression was stillpletely calm. There was not even the slightest ripple. It was as if he didn’t even care about his own life.


    But while Long Chen might not care about his life, Wu Qi definitely did. He was absolutely horrified.


    He quickly brought back his longsword to block Long Chen’s bone de. With his powerful Tendon Transformation cultivation base, Long Chen’s full force stab was blocked by him.


    “As expected, you’re afraid of death,” ridiculed Long Chen icily.


    “Bastard!” Wu Qi roared. Although he had blocked Long Chen’s bone de, the power that had been behind it made his heart grow cold, almost injuring his inner organs.


    He knew that all of Long Chen’s power had been concentrated on that bone de. If he had been thrust through by it, the power behind it would have erupted like a volcano and he would definitely have died.


    Wu Qi roared and strange lines appeared over his sword. A cold ray of Sword Qi shed down on Long Chen.


    But what was outside of everyone’s expectations was that Long Chen also raised his bone de high into the air.


    “Parting Wind sh!”


    Long Chen again seemed to act as if he still didn’t see Wu Qi’s attack. A terrifying de image appeared, shing down on Wu Qi. This was clearly another suicidal attack to bring them both down.


    Wu Qi was horrified; his Sword Qi would definitely kill Long Chen. But Long Chen’s de image would also cut him to pieces.


    It was already toote to dodge. He went all out to tilt his Sword Qi, bringing it shing against Long Chen’s de image.


    When the two collided, Wu Qi immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood and retreated a couple steps.


    That injury wasn’t because of just Long Chen’s de image. It was the effect of both their attacks. In order to forcibly change the direction of his Sword Qi, he had ended up receiving an internal impact. In ordinary times, that was just a slight shock and nothing to worry about.


    But Long Chen’s full strength de image had then crashed down on him. His Sword Qi had ended up losing over half its power because he had forcibly changed its path, causing him to be injured.


    Seeing Wu Qi cough up blood, everyone’s hearts jumped. Wu Qi was clearly incredibly powerful. But in front of Long Chen who was risking his life, he was unable to do anything at all.


    As for Long Chen, he waspletely calm. Even after two exchanges that could have cost him his life, his expression still didn’t change. That kind of icy calmness was absolutely terrifying.


    Wu Qi became infuriated. He had all kinds of powerful attacks, but both times he was forced back by Long Chen.


    Just as he was preparing to once more attack him, Long Chen’s bone de appeared before his face, just about to cut off his head.


    He hastily twisted his head and jumped back. He just narrowly managed to avoid Long Chen’s attack.


    But unfortunately, he had forgotten one thing. This was not the outside world, but the death-deciding stage. It was only a couple hundred meters wide.


    After Long Chen’s previous two attacks, he had already been forced near the edge. Now that he had jumped back…


    With a loud bang, everyone was dumbfounded to see Wu Qi’s head m into an iron pir.


    But it went without saying that his peak mid Tendon Transformation power was extremely great. Despite having shot back like a cannonball and then crashing into the pir, only a trace of blood flowed down his head.


    However, he was still extremely dizzy for a moment, stars appearing in his vision. But then realizing what situation he was in, he quickly recovered.


    He had only just recovered from that bout of dizziness when he saw Long Chen’s bone de’s cutting a strange arc towards his stomach. It was so fast that he didn’t have time to dodge.


    In his fright, he threw his sword right at Long Chen’s heart. His sword wasn’t as long as Long Chen’s bone de, so in order to force him back, he had to throw his sword. That way his attack would arrive a bit faster and Long Chen would have to dodge, allowing him to escape his present predicament.


    But what appalled everyone was that Long Chen still ignored the de, continuing his attack.


    Two weapons cut through flesh. Long Chen’s bone de stabbed through Wu Qi’s stomach. But a sword was sticking out over Long Chen’s heart. For a moment, everyone was deathly silent.
