Chapter 833 - 833: Rage

Sweat appeared on Zhu Kong's face as he learned about the possibility of Long Chen being the mysterious Prince of a High Ranking Kingdom. For a brief moment, his mind became blank.

He couldn't believe it. No, he refused to believe that a twenty-year-old boy could be Heaven Realm Cultivator. It should be impossible for even Princes of the High Ranking Kingdoms to achieve such cultivation at such a young age! There was no way for Long Chen to be so young. He didn't wish to believe it. 

In his rage, he truly believed that the person behind him was someone who was way older but only looked young. 

"You can't he the Prince! I will show you your right place!"

Zhu Kong released the Princess's hand as he turned back without caring for anything and punched straight ahead.

"W-what?"

He failed to comprehend what was happening. There was no one standing behind him. Where did Long Chen go? The voice came from behind him! How could Long Chen but be there? The Guards also said that Long Chen was behind him! Why did he disappear!

Many questions floated through the heads of Zhu Kong as his head started aching.

He furiously looked around; however, he failed to find Long Chen.

"Where is he?" the  Prince asked his guards again, but he didn't need to wait for their answer.

His heart had a chilly feeling as he saw them looking towards him. No, they weren't looking at him, but they were looking above his head. Zhu Kong understood their gaze instantly.

Above him! From their gaze, it was clear that Long Chen was above him.

His heart thumped as fast as it could as he raised his head upwards.

The first thing that his eyes fell on was a bright arc of light that was coming straight to him. Before he could even take a second to absorb all the information of his surroundings that was rushing through his head, the arc of light reached him.

"Aaaaa!" 

An anguished howl left his mouth that was so sharp that it sent chills down the spine of everyone who heard. 

A hand slowly dropped to the ground, separated from the rest of the body. Zhu Kong cried in pain as his hand was sliced.

"Sigh, I wanted to be considerate, but I couldn't. I guess my anger got the best of me," Long Chen said to Zhu Kong calmly.

Hearing Long Chen's words, Xun materialized near him. She floated beside him as she peered at him curiously. 

"Anger got the best of you? Didn't you separate the angered part of the Heart Demon?" she asked.

 Gazing towards his left, Long Chen saw Xun. A faint smile appeared on his face as he answered, "Hah, my dear Xun, a man doesn't need the Heart Demon to be angry, does he? It just means I can get angry when I want, not when my Heart Demon wants, and I am angry now."

"Oh, so that's it. I thought something had gone wrong in the process," Xun replied as she nodded her head.

A knowing smile formed on Long Clan's lips as he answered softly, "Don't worry. What can go wrong? It's not the right time for you to have anything go wrong with me, is it? Nothing can happen to me."

Hearing Long Chen's response, Xun's face went pale. Why did she get such a strange feeling suddenly as if she was standing naked before Long Chen and he could gaze at her deepest of secrets? Just what was it? Why did his words sound like he knew something? Could it be that he knew everything?

'No! He can't know! I didn't slip in front of him! There is no way he would know!' she thought as she calmed herself down.

"W-what are you talking about? What do you mean it's not the right time for me?" Xun asked Long Chen.

"Nothing," Long Chen replied softly as he shook his head. "I just meant nothing could happen to me as long as I have you with me. It won't be the right time of my death with you protecting me. That's all I meant."

"Why? Did you think of something else? What could have made your face go pale?" Long Chen asked Xun with a concerned look on his face. 

Even though Long Chen looked concerned, Xun felt as if she noticed a faint smile on his face. Was it her misconception? That must be it, she thought.

"Nothing. Focus on your battle," Xun said sternly before she disappeared.

' I will focus on my battle. That doesn't mean I won't put my focus on you, my dear Xun. I promise you; I won't fall, no matter who stands against me. Even if the enemy is someone close to me,' Long Chen thought as he smiled.

He had closed the access of his thoughts to Xun since the beginning so that she couldn't read his thoughts. This made him be free to think anything without letting Xun know. He only allowed her to listen to her thoughts when he wished to talk to her without speaking.

"Come on, guys? I thought you would attack me instantly. You guys are pretty slow," Long Chen taunted the warriors of Zhu Kong, who were standing shocked at the sight of Zhu Kong crying in pain.

"You bastard! You dare attack our Prince! You shall die!" The Heaven Realm Warriors finally came out of their daze as they started flying towards Long Chen.

"That's better. Let me see how stronger I am than last time. Being an assassin is fun, but not as fun as blowing off some steam properly," Long Chen chuckled as he landed on the ground while keeping both his swords in his hand.

The Spirit Sword still circled around the Xie Clan Elder and Ji Shan, keeping them safe from unexpected attacks.

Ji Shan didn't wish to have Long Chen fight, but after hearing Long Chen's words, he decided to trust him and leave the battle to him while he focused on the man before him. 

"Brother, stop them! We still have a chance! If a fight takes place and something happened to Long Chen, our whole Kingdom will pay. The High Ranking Kingdom will kill us all! Stop our men!" The Princess pleaded with Zhu Kong, trying to stop the fight; however, he didn't listen. 

Instead, he was even more infuriated.

He glared at his sister with bloodshot eyes.

Raising his other hand, he slapped his sister hard, making her fly far away. The Princess crashed on the ground, and her head started bleeding.
