Nine Star Hegemon Body Art - Chapter 561
Chapter 561: 561
Countless runes condensed in the air, surrounding that woman . The void trembled in a rhythmic cadence .
“She’s actually a Celestial!”
Long Chen was now too familiar with this manifestation, because in that instant, he felt the will of the Heavenly Daos expel him .
He sensed the world immediately become inharmonious with him . He was isolated and also suppressed by some kind of energy, making it so he couldn’t absorb more spiritual qi .
This was a Celestial’s manifestation: the Cry of the Heavenly Daos . It was a very resounding, very arrogant name . But Long Chen was filled with hate and killing intent towards this manifestation .
The instant she activated her manifestation, all the Mo family’s experts’ pupils shrank . Although they had known she was a Celestial, the Cry of the Heavenly Daos was rarely seen .
Furthermore, even if you saw this manifestation a hundred times, you would still be incomparably shocked . This represented the will of the Heavenly Daos, something no one could resist .
This was why Celestials were termed the top heavenly geniuses of this world . Under that Heavenly Dao suppression, even Xiantian experts would have to lower their heads .
Mo Nian clenched his fists tightly . If it weren’t for this manifestation, he wouldn’t need to be afraid of her . If he could just defeat her, then he would be completely free . What he said would be what counted . But before he could defeat this fiancée of his, he would have to listen to her .
BOOM!
The ground beneath Long Chen emitted an explosive sound . The strength behind her palm multiplied, and it was like a mountain trying to crush Long Chen .
Long Chen instantly sank into an inferior position, the ground beneath him crumbling . Her power had explosively increased, while his own was being reduced .
“Let’s stop . Don’t play this kind of nonsensical game,” sighed Long Chen .
“Admit defeat . You aren’t a Celestial, and there’s no way you are my match,” she advised .
“Let me say it again, let’s stop playing this nonsensical game . You aren’t able to suppress me,” said Long Chen icily .
Long Chen’s expression was dark, and his eyes shone coldly . A dense killing intent was surfacing out of his heart .
He was currently doing his best to suppress that killing intent . That killing intent wasn’t towards this woman but towards the Cry of the Heavenly Daos .
After entering the Meridian Opening realm, Long Chen’s primal chaos bead had become stronger and endless energy filled him . He felt as if his own blood was boiling .
He knew this was the involuntary reaction of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art towards the Cry of the Heavenly Daos . It felt an intense desire to destroy it, which caused Long Chen to feel an urge to kill this woman .
But this woman wasn’t really an enemy . In fact, she was Mo Nian’s fiancée, so there was no way he could kill her . That was why he was giving her a warning .
However, she didn’t notice the situation, causing him to feel anger . As soon as he got angry, the killing intent became even stronger .
“Did you hear me?! I said stop!”
Long Chen suddenly roared and killing intent surged out of him . This terrifying killing intent caused the world to shiver .
His roar was like thunder, and he seemed like a devil as he stood there . That killing intent grew stronger and stronger, and the Mo family’s experts that were spectating all felt their hearts turn cold .
It was as if Long Chen had transformed into a bloodthirsty monster that might go berserk at any moment . That intense feeling of danger caused their hair to stand on end .
“You…!” That woman also sensed it . A terrifying energy was on the verge of erupting from Long Chen’s body . However, she had no intentions of retreating .
BANG!
Suddenly, a gentle force appeared between their hands, and the two of them were immediately blown back dozens of meters .
“Gate master!”
The woman turned her head to see Mo Yi had already stood up . It was he who had separated the two of them .
“Zongying, let this competition go as a draw . We’re all one family, so there’s no need to go all-out . Long Chen didn’t win, and you didn’t lose . The matters between you and Mo Nian should be resolved between the two of you . Let me say the same thing again, whoever is stronger has the bigger voice . ” Mo Yi smiled towards her .
“I’ll listen to gate master’s instructions . ” She hastily bowed . Evidently, she was extremely respectful towards Mo Yi .
Once she put away her manifestation, Long Chen gradually returned to normal . Even he didn’t know why his reaction towards this manifestation of the Heavenly Daos had become so intense after advancing to Meridian Opening .
Back when he had faced Yin Wushang, all he had felt was rejection . But now, he had almost been unable to suppress his own emotions . That killing intent and hate was uncontrollable .
“Don’t be angry, Long Chen . Our Mo family’s people all have this kind of temperament . We also don’t treat you like an outsider now that you’re here . A battle between youngsters isn’t some bad thing . Here, let me give you an introduction . This is Mo Nian’s fiancée, Liu Zongying . ” Seeing that Long Chen’s expression was still a bit gloomy, he thought Long Chen might still hold some ill-feelings towards her, so he opened his mouth .
“Hey, you couldn’t actually be angry, right? For a man to be so petty, getting angry just because he couldn’t win, that would be too unmanly . But if you really are angry, I will apologize to you,” said Liu Zongying magnanimously, extending a hand towards him .
Long Chen smiled bitterly inside . Why did it seem like she wanted him to say he wasn’t a man? He wasn’t actually angry, but just now, he had almost gone berserk .
If he really did go berserk and go all-out, that would cause a huge disturbance . If Liu Zongying was an enemy, then fine, but the main problem was that she wasn’t .
Now that she had extended her hand so heroically, he couldn't help sighing emotionally . Mo Nian really was lucky to run into such a top grade person .
“No need for an apology . I’m not so petty . I suppose it’s as the expression goes, you can’t make friends without fighting . ” Long Chen also extended his hand .
Originally, he had just been intending on having a gentle shake with her to express that any of their grievances ended here . He hadn’t expected her hand to tightly clench his . He felt as if his hand was caught in an iron loop .
Long Chen immediately felt an urge to laugh . This woman really was peak grade . Even at this time, she didn’t give up a chance to compete .
But it went without saying that Liu Zongying’s strength was incredible . Let alone another woman, even a male Xiantian expert who spent years bitterly training his physical body wouldn’t necessarily be stronger than her .
If it was just physical strength, Long Chen wouldn’t fear anyone . No matter how Liu Zongying tried, Long Chen just smiled calmly . What kind of joke was that? His body had been tempered by heavenly tribulation . Within the same realm, the only one who could make him feel pain in this way was probably Wilde .
“If you keep holding my hand like that, Mo Nian will get jealous,” said Long Chen bashfully .
“Ah, no, no, I won’t get jealous . You can keep holding it for a while . ” Mo Nian laughed .
Of course, he wouldn’t be jealous . Just from Liu Zongying’s posture, he knew what was going on . His bones had already been crushed several times now . He really was not the slightest bit jealous .
“Alright, Zongying, why have you suddenly come here?” Mo Yunshan finally interjected to defuse the situation .
“Uncle Mo, my father wanted me to give you a letter . Here . ” Only now did Liu Zongying remember her proper business and hand over a letter .
Mo Yunshan read that letter and smiled coldly . He then handed it to Mo Yi . Mo Yi didn’t have any expression upon reading it . “There are always people who like to join in on the fun . But that’s not always a bad thing!”
“Zongying, if you have nothing else to do, you should live here for a few days . With Mo Nian and Long Chen present, you’ll have some playmates,” said Mo Yunshan .
Hearing that, Mo Nian’s expression instantly changed . If he was able to defeat this father of his, he would have long since attacked . Wasn’t he trying to harm him now?
“I still have one more matter to take care of . Once I finish it, I’ll come back to find Mo Nian . Gate master, Uncle Mo, I’ll take my leave first . ” Liu Zongying bowed towards Mo Yi and Mo Yunshan .
Afterward, she walked over to Mo Nian . “You better listen to me . Unless your strength surpasses mine, don’t even think about being fickle hearted and getting multiple wives . ”
Liu Zongying left just like that . She was extremely direct and straightforward .
Once Liu Zongying left, Mo Yi told Long Chen and Mo Nian to stay inside for a few days . They were about to attempt to attain the ancestral inheritance . They had to maintain their peak state .
Then the others left, and it was only Long Chen and Mo Nian . Long Chen looked at Mo Nian, not saying anything, merely laughing mischievously .
Mo Nian was a bit scared of Long Chen’s laughter . He awkwardly said, “Well, now you’ve seen my future wife . So that means I really treat you like a real brother…”
“Tch . Tell me, did you do this intentionally or not? You wanted me to be your shield?” raged Long Chen . As soon as Mo Nian had left, Liu Zongying had arrived . That was definitely a trap .
“I swear, I had no idea she would come . Otherwise, no matter what, I definitely wouldn’t con you! I really went to get the wine . But when I returned, I saw her and then… well, you know,” said Mo Nian .
“Mo Nian, are you even a man? Don’t you feel it’s embarrassing to be this afraid of your woman?” said Long Chen .
“Please, you don’t even understand my struggles . Would you like to try having such a valiant woman? Our arranged marriage was set when I was just six years old . She has bullied me for twelve whole years, and I haven’t had the slightest chance to reverse the scales!” cried Mo Nian helplessly .
“You were actually childhood friends?” asked Long Chen .
“Childhood friends?! As if! When she was ten, she awakened as a Celestial . My talent was never able to compare to hers . More importantly, my Mo family’s cultivation technique focuses on offense, not defense . It’s not like I can really attack her mercilessly… Cough, well, the main point is that even if I did, I wouldn’t be able to beat her . Each time, I can only be bullied by her . So, I want to switch to a more gentle woman .
“But you’ve also seen just how difficult it is to achieve such a grand dream! Right now, my only hope is the ancestral inheritance! If I can obtain that inheritance, there will still be a chance I can reverse the tides . But if I fail, then just thinking about those dark days will make me want to kill myself,” said Mo Nian bitterly .
This was Long Chen’s first time feeling a trace of sympathy for Mo Nian . His grievance faded a great deal . He supposed it really was difficult for a man to live this way .
“It’s alright, don’t cry . Let’s go find a place to taste your old man’s fine wine . Then I’ll help you refine pills in preparation for the inheritance . ”
Long Chen and Mo Nian switched locations . They chatted as they drank, and only then did Long Chen learn that the Mo family and the Liu family were old friends . However, it seemed that since the Mo family declined, the differences between the two had only grown .
As for the specifics, Mo Nian didn’t know . Only the higher-ups of the family knew, and they all kept their mouths tightly sealed .
After resting for a bit, Long Chen had Mo Nian keep watch as he began refining . As a result, when he refined a furnace of pills in front of him, Mo Nian became dumbfounded .
