Chapter 327: Second Commander
Their situation was extremely dangerous.
Long Chen howled and burned his Qi to use Blood Warp. His speed exploded and surpassed even that of a Category Nine Earth-tier beast. In just ten breaths, he reached the waterfall again.
How did they manage to find them? Long Chen was confused. His plan had been perfect. Lure the beast, kill it, advance to the next stage, and lure the other commanders with the loud sound. That way, Ling Xi would be safe inside the cave. He thought everything was going smoothly, so what had gone wrong?
Long Chen stopped thinking about it. He wouldnt know until he entered the cave.
This was an unforgettable lesson for him. Not everything, and everyone, would work as he intended.
Ling Xi Long Chen stopped Blood Warp. Even though he had only covered a short distance, he had burned through a tenth of his Qi. He needed to conserve his Qi to fight the two Seventh River Stage commanders!
What happened to Ling Xi? How is she? It took me some time to get here. Did they kill her? Long Chens eyes were bloodshot and his mind was clouded.
He would never forgive himself if anything happened to Ling Xi.
He prepared himself as he approached the waterfall, where he saw Xiaolangs clones in a fierce struggle.
Long Chen saw Ling Xi being held up by a man surrounded by Xiaolangs clones while Xiaolang was fighting fiercely against a woman on his own!
Long Chens appearance attracted their attention. The two commanders smiled.
You finally returned. Had you been a few more moments later, she would be dead. The female commander chuckled when she saw how angry Long Chen was. Even though she was a woman, the fact that she had managed to reach the rank of Third Commander proved that she was not weak.
The other commander was a middle-aged man that had a dangerous look in his eyes. He was staring at Long Chen, and he noticed the killing intent leaking out from him.
Looks like you killed the other commanders. The mans voice was cold. He was the Second Commander.
Ling Xi was in his hand. Long Chen had to calm down even though his anger was on the verge of exploding. He had no choice if he wanted to save Ling Xi! He suppressed himself as much as he could!
Only then could he ensure her safety!
Xiaolang conveyed a sense of defeat through his eyes when he saw Long Chen. Long Chen had asked him to protect her, but he had failed to do so, so he was ashamed to see him. That was why he was recklessly attacking the Third Commander, though even the Seventh River Stage commander could do nothing against Xiaolang.
Xiaolang, stop. Both of them are at the Seventh River Stage. I dont blame you. Focus on your fight and dont be reckless.
Long Chen looked at Ling Xi after consoling Xiaolang. He looked at her pale face and hinted at her to calm down before he looked at the two commanders in front of him. Im curious. How did you find this place? Shouldnt you have headed to the flare instead?
We have to admit that you are smart and bold, but its too bad you are facing us. Do you know what this is? The lady smiled and pulled a small beast from her sleeve. It took one look at Long Chen with its large eyes before retreating back into the sleeve.
This is a Lotus Weasel. Its only a Category One Yellow-tier beast, and it can barely qualify as a demonic beast. But it has a very special ability: it is very sensitive to the scent of the lotus. It can sniff out where lotus flowers are within a radius of several Li. Your little girlfriend is exuding such a dense smell of lotus that even I envy her. Unfortunately, shes going to lose her life because of it
Long Chen finally understood why. He admitted that this was an oversight. Despite how much he had planned for it, he had no way of knowing that there was a beast capable of doing that.
So, what do you want? Long Chen knew that they would not kill Ling Xi immediately. They were planning to use her as a hostage. Now that she was in their hands, Long Chen could do nothing as he didn't know how the situation would change. Even if he could kill both of them, Ling Xi would die in the process.
What do we want? The Second Commander chuckled. You killed four of my brothers. I want you to feel the same way. The people around you will die, both her and the beast. We will then capture you and bring you back to be executed by the imperial family, Long Chen!
Long Chen was angry, but he had to calm down. Only then could he find a way to survive today.
You two have really opened my eyes. To think that the Second and Third Commanders would need a hostage to capture a cultivator at the Fourth River Stage. You couldve killed me easily, yet youre using a hostage. Looks like you dont have the confidence to fight me head-on Long Chen taunted.
The Third Commander looked at Long Chen before slowly saying, Hehe. Long Chen, there's no point in taunting us. We wont fall for it. This is such a pretty girl; why dont we keep her alive and give her to the Emperor? Maybe we can get promoted and get a lot of treasures. But this beast is so distasteful. It must die today! Second Brother, I will kill the beast, so you deal with Long Chen.
Everyone wouldve mistaken that voice for that of a regular lady, but Long Chen felt his scalp go numb. Those two would most definitely die if Long Chen failed to kill the commanders right now!
The Third Commander was about to fight Xiaolang seriously! But he was ready.
Xiaolang, are you confident in winning? Long Chen frowned. It would be easier if Xiaolang could distract the Third Commander so Long Chen could focus on the Second Commander.
Xiaolang nodded without hesitation. His eyes were bloodshot and he was ready to fight. He would hate himself if he couldnt do that at the very least, and he swore to himself that he would kill her even if it meant he would die!
Go. I trust you! Long Chen saw him as his brother, so there was no need for sappy words.
Xiaolang nodded and gave the woman a taunting look. He snarled at her before jumping away and landing in a field of stone a hundred meters away. He could fight as he pleased over there!
The Sun Devouring Wolf was a beast with immense potential, so how could he lose to her?
The Third Commander laughed even louder when she saw Xiaolang taunt her. This was the first time she had seen such a smart beast.
Looks like you are smart. Its just that your gaze is so displeasing to look at. Fine, I will kill you first. Second Brother, kill Long Chen and show him how strong your techniques are.
I wont show him mercy. The Second Commander flashed a rare smile. His grin was cruel.
The woman said nothing more and ran after Xiaolang. She was ready to kill him.
Hmph! You are just a beast and you dare look at me like that? You will die today.
Their battle started immediately. Long Chen was worried about Xiaolang, but he knew his opponent was in front of him. Ling Xi was still in the Second Commanders hands.
Ling Xi was worried about Long Chen. Her body trembled when the killing intent leaked out of the Second Commander.
Long Chen silently analyzed the Second Commander. Looks like the Second Commander has a Body Tempering technique too. His body looks stronger than the Meteorite Body of the Sixth Commander. It must be an advanced Earth-tier Body Tempering technique!
Doge & Chacha's Thoughts
That's a convenient beast to have. I wonder how did she know Ling Xi had a lotus scent?
