Chapter 5140 Final Battle

Long Chen was sitting on top of the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone, looking down on everyone.

Beneath him, Bai Yingxue and the others were startled, their eyes widening as they looked up at him. After all, they had been directly transported into a trap that knocked them unconscious, leaving them baffled as to what was happening.

“Long Chen!”

While everyone else was simply shocked, Lu Fan’s handsome face twisted with rage. As he gnashed his teeth, he asked, “You didn’t die?!”

“Tch, did you think a little Heavenly Fate Curse could kill me? Aren’t you overestimating yourself? If it weren’t for those old fellows from the Earth Devil race, you’d already be on the path of reincarnation,” Long Chen replied, shaking his head with a hint of mockery in his voice.

After that, Long Chen turned to face Yan Hong and said, “Yan Hong, don’t be angry. I also beat the crap out of this idiot in the Earth Devil race’s territory, and even his underpants went flying. He almost cried and begged for his daddy’s help. Although you died last time, in some respects, he ended up worse off than you. Furthermore, I feel like in terms of power, you are a bit stronger than him.”

Everyone was shocked by Long Chen’s words. It seemed that he had fought Lu Fan and even beaten him? They found it hard to believe. After all, Lu Fan was one of the eight sons of Brahma. With Lord Brahma’s will protecting him, he was practically an unrivaled existence in this domain. How could Long Chen defeat him?

However, seeing Lu Fan’s enraged expression, they knew Long Chen was telling the truth.

Long Chen had defeated Lu Fan... a fact that left everyone in stunned disbelief. Netherdragon Wushang, Luo Yujiao, Huang Wudao, and the others were all taken aback. Although they hadn’t personally fought Lu Fan, their instincts as experts told them that his power was immense and difficult to gauge. None of them felt confident that they could defeat him.

On the other hand, Yan Hong was quite happy to hear Long Chen’s taunts. Being targeted and humiliated by everyone had stoked his rage, so seeing smoke come out of Lu Fan’s head pleased him a lot.

“Lu Fan naturally isn’t a match for me. If he weren’t a son of Brahma, I’d have killed him!” sneered Yan Hong. “I want to thank you for your words, so how about this? In a bit, I’ll leave your corpse intact!”

“Please don’t. If you’re going to be so courteous, I’ll feel bad killing you. There’s no need for any mercy. I’m also not planning on letting you leave here alive,” replied Long Chen with a chuckle, his tone light but deadly.

“Fool, I’m no longer the old Yan Hong. Today, I’ll be the one to kill you,” countered Yan Hong.

Long Chen was unfazed by the threat and seemed rather excited. After that, his gaze swept across Lu Fan, Li Tianfan, Netherdragon Wushang, Luo Yujiao, Huang Wudao, and the other top experts.

“Devil race, Blood race, Stone race, Lifehunter race, Netherworld race, demon race—my enemies are all gathered. Li Tianfan, do you represent the Chess Sect? And Qin Keqing, do you represent the Zither Sect?” Long Chen asked, turning his attention toward the two at the end.

Li Tianfan looked at Long Chen. Although he had been shocked at the start, he was now calm. He said, “I’ve long since heard that the High Firmament Academy’s youngest dean in history possesses unmatched intellect and power. However, it seems the rumors are a bit exaggerated. You’ve practically sent yourself to your death. Don’t you know this place is fundamentally a trap? To be honest, I would have liked to experience the power of the High Firmament Academy’s number one expert, but unfortunately, with so many people eager to take your life, it seems that I won’t get a chance. How regrettable.”

“A trap? What trap? Are you trying to lie to me? Child, you’re too naive,” scoffed Long Chen. “Everything here was set up by the Brahma Pill Valley. With Lu Fan’s intelligence, there’s no way he could plan for my arrival. That conceited fellow actually thought that his Heavenly Fate Curse would kill me. Even if it didn’t kill me, he believed it would take half my life, and my only option would be to flee, right? You can just give up on playing psychological warfare with me. Save your psychological warfare for conning your little friends!”

After saying that, Long Chen turned to Qin Keqing and Liao Yuhuang. “Can you two express your stance? Who really represents the Zither Sect? I don’t want to have so many misgivings when the fighting starts.”

Qin Keqing sneered, “With death at hand, you still dare to be so arrogant? Then I, Qin Keqing, will tell you that the Zither Sect is the firm ally of the Brahma Pill Valley. Pill Valley’s enemies are my Zither Sect’s enemies.”

Long Chen nodded to express that he understood. He then turned to Liao Yuhuang and smiled slightly. “Old friend, thank you for your kindness toward the white dragon race. The Dragon Cow Zither really doesn’t choose a bad master.”

Liao Yuhuang was also shocked by Long Chen’s arrival, but she had a strange yet favorable impression of him. In her view, Long Chen was an extremely wise person with profound expertise in musical theory.

When Long Chen mentioned the Dragon Cow Zither, Liao Yuhuang’s eyes widened in realization. So, Bai Daole, who had discussed music with her on the Glacial Heaven Plaza, was Long Chen.

Long Chen had dropped his disguise, which had been meant to avoid implicating the white dragon race. Given Pill Valley’s insidious actions toward the white dragon race, Long Chen no longer needed to care about that. The enmity between the two sides was clear and absolute, like water and fire.

Staring at Long Chen with a complicated expression, Liao Yuhuang shook her head. “It can’t count as kindness. With my little power, I cannot interfere in other people’s battles. We can only look after ourselves and uphold our principles. We don’t want this bloody cake. This is the Zither Sect’s bottom line, and beyond defending it, I can’t do much.”

Sadness flitted across Liao Yuhuang’s eyes. Long Chen was someone she greatly admired. After all, he was wise and was known for his deep commitment to friendship and loyalty. She wished she could offer more help, but her actions represented those of the Zither Sect. Bound by this status, she couldn’t help him much, so she felt bad.

Long Chen gave her a reassuring smile. “That’s the best course of action. Since you aren’t my enemy, you should back up a bit to avoid getting splashed by their filthy blood.”

With a sinister grin, Lu Fan interrupted, “There was a path to heaven but you didn’t take it. There was no door to hell but you still barged in. Long Chen, today will be our final battle!”

After he finished speaking, he formed a series of hand seals. Countless runes appeared on the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone, and an immense divine pressure radiated from it.
