Chapter 381 - Massacre – He Tian

Chapter 381 - Massacre – He Tian

The couple liked peace and quiet, so the Little Bamboo Court was situated further from the other buildings. At this point, Dongfang Xuanxiao knew that no one would come to their rescue.

“Ming’er, I’m so sorry. I’m useless. In the end, we couldn’t escape the suffering. Perhaps I really am not suited for you. I deserve to die for wasting so many years of your youth.” The pain on Dongfang Xuanxiao’s face would make anyone’s heart ache.

“Brother Xuanxiao ...”

There were tears in her eyes. She held Xuanxiao’s hand tightly, looked at He Tian with a lump in her throat, then gritted her teeth and said, “Even after being locked up for twenty years, I’m very content with being able to see you again and spending so much time with you. Today, I will die with you before I am humiliated. It’s too bad this child will die before it’s born ...”

Her words broke Xuanxiao’s heart.

“No! He can never touch you! Ming’er, I will stop him even if I die! Even if it’s for a moment!” Dongfang Xuanxiao stared with determination in his eyes. Although he was countless times weaker than He Tian, he was equal in terms of fierceness!

He Tian was a little uncomfortable in the face of Dongfang Xuanxiao’s fearlessness in death. He smirked and spat, “Not bad! That was touching. But I’ve never believed in that sort of thing. You’re trash! Do you have the guts to fight me? Do you want to try?”

He Tian knew that he had no time to waste. He walked towards Dongfang Xuanxiao as he spoke, and a heavy weight pressed on Dongfang Xuanxiao. The blood-colored blade glinted coldly, and Dongfang Xuanxiao’s vision blurred. A threat he could not withstand was approaching! He gritted his teeth and tried to think of a way out, but he knew how weak he was in the face of such a large gap in cultivation levels!

No! I cannot let Ming’er die with me! And our child cannot die before it’s born! God, what do I do?! Why do you do this to me? You played me for twenty years, and I suffered for twenty years so I could be with Ming’er. Do I not have a say in my own life?!

Dongfang Xuanxiao breathed heavily as redness slowly spread through his eyes.

“Brother Xuanxiao ...” Xuanming’s heart ached when she saw Dongfang Xuanxiao like this. Her nails almost punctured his flesh.

“Ming’er, I only have one request. Will you promise me this?” Xuanxiao quickly said next to her ear.

“Don’t say it. I can promise you one thing—even if I die, I will remain by your side to face it all together. I am being selfish to our child, but I am sure they will understand!” Zhao Xuanming’s eyes were filled with tears ...

Dongfang Xuanxiao had lost all hope in the face of Xuanming’s stubborness and the approaching He Tian.

Strength. Everything boiled down to strength. He wasn’t strong enough years ago, that was why Xuanming had been locked up in the Star Devil Prison for twenty years. This time, he wasn’t strong enough, so they had no choice but to accept death!

“Ah!” Dongfang Xuanxiao slammed his fist into his own chest!

“If I am reborn, I will definitely work as hard as Chen’er!” roared Dongfang Xuanxiao, his eyes fixed dead on He Tian.

“Chen’er? You mean Long Chen, the one that has been famous in the Heavenly Demon Palace? The kid that people are talking about across the whole Cangyang Kingdom? He’s indeed a prodigy. You’re very lucky to have taken in a stepson like that. Unfortunately, he won’t save you today!” He Tian laughed and gently raised the Blood Ocean Knife. He would split Dongfang Xuanxiao in half in the next second!

That was when a cold voice rang from behind He Tian.

“You’re wrong. Today, I am saving him.”

This cold voice obviously came from a teenager. He was so close, yet He Tian had not noticed him. He Tian was startled and quickly turned around in a panic, Qi exploding from his body.

When he turned around, he saw a tall teenager with elegant features and long, black hair that fluttered in the wind standing behind him! In his hand was a sword that radiated faint starlight.

“Long Chen, why would you be here?” He Tian was completely shocked. Yang Danfeng had guaranteed that no one would show up. So why was Long Chen here?

Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuanming felt like they were dreaming when they saw Long Chen. Xuanming almost fainted, but fortunately, Dongfang Xuanxiao was there to catch her. Their eyes were filled with tears. They had truly survived a very close brush with death. Only they knew just how dangerous it had been.

They had paid twenty years of their lives to be together today, but everything they had built was going to be destroyed. It was truly fortunate that Long Chen had appeared. Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuanming had full confidence in him, so they knew that they would not die tonight!

The emotions running through them were indescribable.

He Tian sensed an aura that scared him from Long Chen’s body. At this critical moment, he made the decision to kill Dongfang Xuanxiao as quickly as possible and then flee!

He was at the Seventh River Stage, and he had heard that Long Chen was only at the Sixth River Stage. Of course, he had heard about Long Chen defeating Yang Jun as well, which made him very nervous!

He Tian turned around again, ready to kill Dongfang Xuanxiao with one slash. However, he didn’t expect the face of a large wolf to be right in front of his eyes. Powerful flames shot at him! He Tian gasped and used all the strength in his body to barely dodge the fire.

Xiaolang stood guard next to the couple and puckered his lips in contempt. If it wasn’t for Long Chen’s instructions, he would have killed the bastard immediately.

He Tian only had one thought: run. After dodging Xiaolang’s flames, he leaped from the ground to flee, but to his dismay, the teenager rushed up to him.

Long Chen’s eyes were red as he glared at He Tian and the Blood Ocean Knife. He could not imagine the tragedy that would have taken place here if Murong Yu had not informed him! He would have regretted it forever!

Had he arrived one second later, he truly would’ve been overcome with regret. Although He Tian had not succeeded, the hatred in Long Chen’s heart did not dissipate!

“Since you’re here, you might as well stay ...” Long Chen mused.

He Tian felt very uncomfortable by his tone, then madness slowly appeared in his eyes, and he roared, “Alright! Since you don’t want me to leave, then I’ll leave after I kill you! I refuse to believe that a Seventh River Stage cultivator like myself can’t beat you at the Sixth River Stage!”

He Tian was already cornered into fighting back.

“I would’ve toyed with you if I were in a better mood. But today, you must die.”

Then He Tian roared and swung his sword at Long Chen, its cold glint forming an arc in the air.

Long Chen was slashed in half!

After the attack, He Tian was surprised to discover that he had cut Long Chen in half! Relieved, he thought, The father’s trash; the son’s trash too!

He was about to kill Dongfang Xuanxiao and run, but a voice rang in his ear.

“Who did you cut just now?” The voice seemed to be right next to his ear, and all his hairs stood on end. He was about to turn and swing his knife behind him when the tip of a sword pierced through his chest, extending half a meter out of his body!

A drop of blood fell from the Star Sword, which was dotted with starlight.

He Tian finally realized that his heart had been pierced through.

Whoosh! Long Chen pulled the Star Sword out. He Tian had not died yet. He turned and looked at Long Chen in disbelief, stuttering, “You brat .... Didn’t ... didn’t I just cut you?”

“Don’t you know about Traceless Demon Shadow?” Long Chen then sliced his throat with his sword.

He Tian finally collapsed with his eyes still open.

Even in death, he did not understand why he could not fight back when he should have been much stronger than Long Chen.

Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuanming watched the scene unfold in a daze. It was only when He Tian’s body threw up a cloud of dust in the air that they finally believed that Long Chen’s combat abilities had far surpassed He Tian’s.

After a close brush with death, Dongfang Xuanxiao was extremely emotional. He quickly said, “Chen’er, we owe you so much ...”

“Today’s matters have not come to an end yet.” Long Chen suddenly cut him off, then he disappeared right before Dongfang Xuanxiao’s eyes. Xiaolang howled, then followed him.

Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuanming looked at each other, wondering what Long Chen was doing. That was when they heard an earth-shattering yell in front!

“Yang Danfeng! Do you still think you can run?!”

Dongfang Xuanxiao froze.

“Yang Danfeng?”

“Brother Xuanxiao, it must have been Yang Danfeng. I was just wondering how He Tian could’ve gotten here with how strict the Heavenly Demon Palace’s security is. Someone inside must have let him in! Chen’er received two stages of the Demon Seed Planting Technique a few days ago, and Yang Danfeng must have gotten angry. He was the one who let He Tian in!” Xuanming quickly connected the dots.

“That’s terrible! If Chen’er knows the truth, he will definitely kill Yang Danfeng!” Dongfang Xuanxiao’s face changed. He knew Long Chen’s personality well.
