Chapter 1774: The First Commander’s Trus

Long Chen pushed his speed to his peak . From Qingqing’s panicked expression, he had a bad feeling .

“Lu Qingshan is our first commander, while Di Ruyun is Di Xin’s younger cousin and one of his confidants . He’s one of Di Xin’s powerful generals, and his power isn’t inferior to Di Xin’s . Di Xin himself has previously caused quite a few conflicts for the disciples of our Martial Heaven Alliance, but the first commander has always been calm and steady . He isn’t easily provoked . For him to have a deathmatch against Di Ruyun, I… I’m worried . ” Qingqing had thought of a terrible possibility .

Long Chen quickly arrived at a giant valley . There were countless experts gathered at the border here .

Within the valley, explosions of light could be seen . The world was rumbling as Heavenly Dao energy clashed against itself . Huge ripples spread, crashing against the walls of the valley .

There were two figures fighting in midair . Both of them were fighting all-out, and killing intent surged out of them .

Long Chen’s vision was sharp, and he managed to see through the constant ripples to see a man in embroidered robes who looked somewhat similar to Di Xin .

His manifestation was at full force, and there was a vague image within it . He was an expert whose manifestation had reached an initial point of awakening .

Facing him was a square-faced man whose expression was frighteningly dark . It looked like flames were about to burst out of his eyes, and his killing intent was soaring .

Long Chen recognized him as Lu Qingshan, the first commander, because he was wearing the robes of the Martial Heaven Alliance’s disciples .

Lu Qingshan’s manifestation was also at full force, and he seemed almost insane . He was fighting in a completely suicidal manner, trying to bring down his opponent .

That man in embroidered robes was most definitely Di Ruyun, and there was a faint mocking smile on his face . He wielded a battle ax, which he slammed down .

Lu Qingshan was insane, and instead of dodging or blocking, he stabbed his spear forward . As a result, an explosion erupted, and Lu Qingshan was knocked out of the air, smashing into the ground and coughing up blood .

“Bastard, return my sister’s life!”

Lu Qingshan let out a bestial roar . His voice was hoarse, filled with grief and anger . He once more shot after Di Ruyun .

Long Chen was startled . He looked around and rushed toward a large group of disciples wearing robes of the Martial Heaven Alliance .

They were surrounding a woman . All of them had tears in their eyes and were glaring at Di Ruyun with killing intent .

“Second commander…” Qingqing ran over and let out a mournful cry .

This woman looked young . She had no visible injuries, but her aura had already vanished .

Long Chen pressed a finger against her forehead, but his heart turned cold . Her Yuan Spirit had fully vanished .

“What’s going on? Why would she kill herself?” demanded Long Chen .

“The second commander refused to be humiliated . . . so… so she was forced to suicide,” answered one of the Martial Heaven Alliance’s disciples between sobs .

“Who did it?” demanded Qingqing angrily as she wiped away her tears .

“It was that bastard Di Ruyun . They came prepared . Di Xin and Xiang Yunfei are both in the distance . ” One of the disciples pointed toward a distant mountain .

Long Chen looked in that direction and quickly saw two pairs of eyes glaring at him . One was Di Xin who he hadn’t seen in a long time, while the other was the one whose clone he had killed, Xiang Yunfei .

Di Xin had an excited and malicious expression . He was pointing in Long Chen’s direction and whispering to Xiang Yunfei . Xiang Yunfei smiled, killing intent surging out of him .

BOOM!

The first commander Lu Qingshan was sent flying once more and crashed into the ground . He landed in front of Long Chen and the others, wildly hacking up blood .

“First commander!”

Those disciples immediately went over to support him . The first commander’s eyes were scarlet as if he was crazy . He was about to shake them off when he suddenly saw Long Chen .

Shockingly, the first commander knelt in front of Long Chen and slammed his forehead into the ground in a kowtow .

“Brother Lu, what are you doing?” Long Chen reached out to help him up, but Lu Qingshan shook his head . He actually slammed his own hand toward his head, and Long Chen hastily grabbed his arm to stop him .

“Why bother?” demanded Long Chen .

“Brother Long, you are the hero I respect the most . I entrust things here to you . I grew up with my little sister, and we’ve depended on each other for over twenty years to live . I can’t let her go on a new journey by herself . Please brother Long . ” Lu Qingshan looked at Long Chen .

Startled cries rang out as Long Chen slowly released Lu Qingshan’s hand .

“Many thanks . ”

Lu Qingshan slammed his own head, making it explode . His Yuan Spirit floated out and slowly dissipated .

When Lu Qingshan’s Yuan Spirit faded, a scene appeared in Long Chen’s eyes: The second commander was provoked by Di Ruyun, and they made an agreement to exchange ten blows . As a result, Di Ruyun treated her lightly and crushed her . Despite the second commander's crazy counterattacks, the more ferocious she became, the worse her situation . She was completely humiliated and directly took her life .

The first commander had been rushing over, but he had been too slow . He had personally seen his little sister commit suicide and had immediately gone crazy, wanting to kill Di Ruyun in vengeance .

Regretfully, in his rage, the first commander’s fighting style was thrown into chaos, and he was unable to defeat Di Ruyun . Seeing that he was powerless to avenge his little sister, he chose to try and kill Di Ruyun in a suicidal self-detonation, but Di Ruyun saw through his intention and didn’t give him any chance to get close .

When he saw Long Chen, he immediately abandoned his vengeance and chose to go with his little sister . The moment he died, Long Chen felt his love for his little sister .

This love could be considered a conviction in its own right . In his life, he lived to protect his little sister . Without his little sister, he had lost his reason to live . Stopping him would only make him feel worse, so Long Chen let him go .

“First commander, second commander!”

Qingqing and the other disciples were all crying tears of grief .

At this time, Ye Lingshan also came . Seeing the first commander and the second commander’s corpses, and then the dark-faced Long Chen, she said, “Long Chen, this is probably a trap . ”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a trap . This matter started because of me . I will give the two of them an explanation . ”

Long Chen looked at the distant Di Ruyun . Long Chen’s furious expression actually vanished, and his gaze became calm .

“Hahaha, is this the Long Chen that cheated his way onto the Devil Slaughter Rankings? Everyone, look, this leopard from the Eastern Xuan Region has come to the Central Xuan Region . What, do you not like the way I look? Why don’t you learn from them and just kill yourself?” laughed Di Ruyun .

Hearing that, the distant experts focused their gazes on Long Chen .

“He is Long Chen?”

“He looks very ordinary . ”

“I don’t feel like he’s an expert at all . Seems like the rumors aren’t unfounded . He looks like someone who would cheat . ”

“Hehe, there’ll be a good show to watch . In truth, this entire conflict started because of Long Chen . His conflict with the ancient family alliance erupted after the Devil Slaughter Rankings . We’ll quickly learn whether or not he deserves his fame . ”

Countless voices began to discuss Long Chen . Experts were gathering from every direction as this huge commotion drew them over .

“Ye Lingshan, help me out,” said Long Chen .

“With what?”

“Help me look after them . I should be very quick . Thanks . ” Long Chen vanished .

Long Chen reappeared in the air . He was so fast that the experts watching were stunned .

“Haha, I knew that you wouldn’t be able to control yourself . Taste my ax!” Di Ruyun laughed . His ax had long since been prepared, and he swung it down .

Shockingly, that destructive ax stopped in midair because a single hand was holding its head . It was unable to move .

Di Ruyun was famed for his power, or there was no way he would have been able to prevent the first commander from even approaching him .

However, his attack, which he had fully stored up energy for, had been easily caught by Long Chen, stunning everyone .

“You are not fit to fight against me . ”

BOOM!

A scale-covered fist smashed into the huge ax head, and it exploded . Di Ruyun’s divine item exploded into bits, along with its master . The powerful explosion shook the world .

“What?! He destroyed a divine item with his bare hands?!”

People’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets . This scene was something that they had never dreamed of .

To block a divine item was rare but possible . However, a Soul Transformation expert destroying a divine item with his bare hands didn’t exist even in legends .

The power of the divine item’s explosion was immense . These people had never seen such power before .

“AHH!”

Suddenly, a mournful screech rang out . A cluster of golden flames appeared in the air, and the sound came from within those flames .

When the world recovered from the explosion of the divine item, they saw Long Chen clutching a translucent figure . It was Di Ruyun’s Yuan Spirit . Long Chen was currently burning him with the Heaven Incinerating Flame .

“If I wasn’t so busy today, I’d roast you for three days and nights . Count yourself lucky . ”

Bang!

Long Chen’s hand tightened, and Di Ruyun’s Yuan Spirit exploded . His screech faded .

“Di Xin, you idiot, if I don’t kill you today, I won’t be Long Chen .

Long Chen turned to the distant Di Xin and shot toward him .
