Chapter 6736 Spirit Mark Barbarian Ox
With Xue Ying gone, Long Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit sad.
Xue Ying was carrying the hopes of her entire race. Too many things were buried in her heart—things she could not speak of to anyone.
Long Chen was the same. There were too many burdens on his shoulders as well. Speaking of them would not lighten his own load and would only add weight to others. In the end, nothing would truly be resolved.
Perhaps this was fate. No matter how many people surrounded you, you still walked alone. And yet, it was precisely because no one fully understood you that you remained unique. If everyone understood everything about you, how dull would life become?
Before long, Long Chen sensed Xue Ying’s aura disappear from the ancient city. She had used a spatial transportation formation.
As for when Xue Ying would reach her destination or what kind of dangers she would encounter on the way, Long Chen couldn’t predict it. Still, he was confident that she could handle whatever came.
Then, Long Chen also entered the city.
It was genuinely ancient. There were no city walls, yet the air itself carried the weight of history.
This was the Ox Head Range.
The terrain resembled an ox’s head. A massive city had once stood here, but an immense battle had eradicated it without mercy.
Everything standing now was constructed afterward. Even so, these buildings still carried histories spanning tens of millions of years.
Long Chen saw various lifeforms once he entered. Some had horns, others wings. Some were covered in scales. He even saw a one-eyed giant.
However, the most common kind of lifeform here had two horns and muscular builds—the Spirit Mark Barbarian Oxen. They were the masters of this city. Whether the Ox Head Range gave rise to them or they gave rise to the land was unknown. Either way, this place was their territory.
This race possessed an ancient greater demon bloodline. Any race that had survived from the primal chaos era to the present could not be ordinary.
“Another human?”
When Long Chen stepped into the city, a tall man blocked his path, irritation and hostility flickering in his eyes.
“Little brat, you dare step into demon territory on your own? If you’re smart, scram immediately, just like that girl!” the man roared.
His roar immediately drew the attention of the passerbys.
Long Chen glanced at the irritating fellow. When Long Chen noticed the swelling on this man’s cheek, he suddenly laughed.
Long Chen’s laughter made this man go crazy. He reached out to throttle Long Chen, but his vision suddenly blurred.
He crumpled to the ground, and the other side of his face was rapidly swelling. There was a clear handprint on it.
Long Chen walked by this man, shaking his head.
“Are you stupid? Someone already slapped your face once, and you haven’t learned your lesson?”
Long Chen had laughed because someone had clearly slapped the irritating man in the face. That slap had been Xue Ying’s work.
The man had provoked Xue Ying in the same way, only to be slapped aside as she left. Now, he even tried it on Long Chen.
Naturally, Long Chen couldn’t fail to give this man what he wanted.
With stars spinning in his eyes, the man took a long while to struggle upright. Once he did, he charged clumsily toward Long Chen.
“Damn, so you were together! I’ll kill you!”
When the man neared, Long Chen pressed a finger on the man’s head.
Pzzt!
Blood splashed across the street.
That man’s death shocked everyone in the vicinity. Their expressions changed, and they hastily retreated.
This person was from the Spirit Mark Barbarian Ox race. Killing ordinary experts here was one thing, but killing one of the Spirit Mark Barbarian Oxen was forbidden.
“Brat, you dare to kill my people?! Don’t even think about leaving here alive!” someone shouted as fierce auras erupted from all directions.
However, Long Chen almost burst into laughter when he sensed them. All of them were Sovereign Lords, and not even from the new generation. Their Blood Qi had already declined to a pitiful level.
To put it bluntly, Long Chen had to hold back from farting in front of them. Otherwise, his fart could accidentally kill them all.
The idiot who had provoked Long Chen was also incredibly weak—only a mid-stage Divine Emperor. That was likely why Xue Ying had merely slapped him and moved on.
Being stopped by someone like that was like an ant trying to block a dragon. Killing him was an insult in itself.
Long Chen retracted his finger. His soulsearch was complete.
This soulsearch yielded good information.
The Spirit Mark Barbarian Oxen were actually quite famous. This Ox Head Range was merely a minor city under their jurisdiction. Their true strength was far from this, and they even had a powerful backer.
Long Chen was much more confident now that he knew the Spirit Mark Barbarian Oxen had some fame in the demon race.
Just then, more than ten Sovereign Lords surrounded Long Chen in the air.
Before they could attack, Long Chen clenched his hand, and a powerful domain crashed down on them.
“Get down here!” Long Chen shouted.
Those Sovereign Lords instantly fell into the ground, their legs shattering under the immense pressure.
Gasps rang out from the vicinity. No one present had ever witnessed such oppressive power.
Those Sovereign Lords were instantly suppressed. None of them had expected an existence like this to appear in such a remote place.
“You... you dare to provoke our Spirit Mark Barbarian Ox race?! You’ve brought ruin upon yourself!” an ox elder shouted.
Luckily, he wasn’t so foolish as to threaten Long Chen badly. His words only carried anger and an attempt to invoke the authority of their race.
“If you kneel there nicely until someone decent from your race appears, then you’ll be fine,” Long Chen said casually as he walked toward a large building. “If any of you stand up early, ox heads will start falling.”
“You—!”
The ox elder was shocked and incensed, but did not dare to rise. The others remained kneeling as well.
“Don’t panic,” the elder whispered urgently. “The news will spread quickly. The race’s experts will come deal with him.”
Long Chen went up to that building. It was a restaurant.
“Please, come in!”
The people inside the restaurant had personally witnessed Long Chen’s power and quickly welcomed him in as courteously as they knew how to.
Surprisingly, the restaurant was quite popular. It had seven floors, and half of the seats were taken.
Judging by their attire, most were adventurers or mercenaries. Their cultivation levels were nothing impressive. But aside from Long Chen, everyone present belonged to the demon race.
They were all silent as Long Chen walked through their midst. Some didn’t even dare to look at him for fear of provoking him.
Long Chen went straight to the top floor and took a seat by the window. From there, he could overlook the Ox Head Range. The kneeling figures below were still obediently pressed to the ground.
“I’m hungry,” Long Chen said calmly. “Bring me some ox soup.”
When the experts in the restaurant heard this, their expressions instantly changed.
