Chapter 866 Shun Long’s new ability
”Senior brother Guo Chen… he actually made a move personally against an early-stage Dao King? Am I hallucinating?”
”That’s to be expected! A peak rank 3 Dao King who is able to jump levels and kill a peak-stage Dao King like Mao Huang isn’t someone who can be ignored! Even someone like Guo Chen would probably feel somewhat afraid if he has to face such a monster later on! Clearly, it’s better for him to kill him now instead of giving him a chance to grow and letting him become a threat to him in the future!”
”What? You think that senior brother Guo would be afraid? Who do you think that senior brother Guo is? You actually think that a genius ranked in the top 100 among all the Dao Kings who have entered the ‘City of Immortals’ would be afraid of a small early-stage Dao King? Are you stupid?”
”Stupid? Clearly you are the stupid one here! Perhaps Guo Chen isn’t afraid right now but there are still 8 more years until the ‘City of Immortals’ closes! Although that guy may not have been a threat to the current Guo Chen, he was still strong enough to kill Mao Huang after he burned his blood essence and activated his immortal-grade bloodline! Do you really think that Guo Chen would have an easy time killing such a person if he was allowed to breakthrough and become a late-stage or even a peak-stage Dao King in the future?”
”Kill him? Why would senior brother Guo have to kill him in the first place? It’s not like every single person who has entered the ‘City of Immortals’ will have to fight with each other!
Besides, just like you said, there are only 8 years left until the ‘City of Immortals’ closes. Forget about the peak of rank 9, it would be impossible for an early-stage Dao King to reach even the late stages of the Dao King realm in a mere 8 years!”
At that moment however, the black-robed young man who was standing behind Shun Long, Guo Chen, suddenly pulled his dagger from Shun Long’s back, causing a fountain of blood to spurt from it in the process, before he turned his attention towards the surrounding Dao Kings and said calmly
”Afraid? Do you think that I killed this kid because I was afraid? You are wrong! I, Guo Chen, am not afraid of anyone within the ‘City of Immortals’! Forget about this brat… even those who are ranked in the top 10 aren’t enough to make me feel afraid of them! However, this doesn’t mean that I am blind either.
Someone who can kill a peak rank 9 Dao King like Mao Huang when they are just a peak rank 3 Dao King can indeed become a threat to me in the future. Although it’s unlikely that this kid would have managed to become a peak-stage Dao King within the next 7 years, in the end, this is still the ‘City of Immortals’ and nothing is really impossible. The treasures that are hidden in this place are innumerable after all.
Although I am not afraid, I have to admit that if this brat was a peak rank 9 Dao King, I would probably have to exhaust quite a few of my trump cards if I really wanted to kill him! Since that’s the case, it’s better for me to kill him now instead of waiting to do so in the future.”
The surrounding Dao Kings immediately fell silent when they heard Guo Chen’s response. Although many of them weren’t satisfied with it, as that didn’t explain why Guo Chen killed someone that he had no enmity with, in the end, nobody dared to refute his words either.
After all, Guo Chen was indeed the strongest person in this place right now, and it was also true that he was someone whose combat skills were still considered first-rate among all the Dao Kings who had entered the ‘City of Immortals’!
In fact, only those monsters who were ranked in the top 30 in the rankings of the ‘White tiger chamber of commerce’ would be able to overpower someone like him!
At the same time, inside the foggy space in the ‘Stone of Time’, Little Black whose massive body was now emitting an extremely bloodthirsty and murderous aura, an aura that would cause even most peak Dao Emperors to start trembling in front of it, continued to stare at Guo Chen for a few more moments, before the black dragon said to Shun Long in a worried manner
”Master! You have already exhausted all the blood essence in your body and your dragon form is about to disappear!”
After a moment of silence, Shun Long who could still feel that the wound on his back was having trouble healing for some reason finally nodded his head, before he turned to look at Guo Chen who was still standing behind him and said calmly
”Guo Chen, huh? Even if you somehow manage to leave the ‘City of Immortals’ alive, I will definitely take your life once we get out of here!”
”Oh? You are still breathing?” Hearing Shun Long’s voice, Guo Chen turned around and stared at him in a surprised manner, before his cold eyes narrowed into two threatening slits.
In Guo Chen’s eyes, since he had been stabbed by his dagger, Shun Long was doomed to die no matter what.
However, for some reason, the last sentence that Shun Long had said, had actually made Guo Chen start feeling both angry and uneasy.
Although he had killed an uncountable number of people in his life and had heard plenty of rumblings and curses before his victims died, Guo Chen could tell that Shun Long’s words weren’t the desperate rumblings of a dead person.
Hearing the cold tone that was full of certainty in his voice, Guo Chen clenched the dagger in his hands tightly, before he looked at Shun Long and said in a voice that seemed to be lacking even the slightest hint of emotion
”Fine. I was planning to let you live for a bit more but since you are so eager to die, so be it then!”
At that moment however, Shun Long completely ignored Guo Chen who was about to make his move and closed his eyes as he placed his entire attention inside his spiritual sea, before he said in a calm but extremely serious voice
”World… Zero.”
