Long Chen, who had just been shot out from the void, didn't even have the time to stabilize himself before a ten foot long saber aura struck his face. It was so sharp that it hurt his face.

Long Chen raised his sword to block. After a loud noise, Long Chen's feet brushed against the ground and he retreated three or four steps back. Focusing his gaze, he saw that it was a middle-aged man wearing a Silver Mark Wolf Robe.

This was a main road, an official road. A city could be vaguely seen in the distance.

There were also many other people fighting nearby, and it was obvious that they were divided into two factions. One of them was dressed like the person in front of him, in silver robes, while the other people wore all kinds of clothes. The only similarity was that they all had red ribbons tied around their arms.

The middle-aged man looked at Long Chen in surprise. He was baffled by the sudden appearance of Long Chen, but he did not die from his own blade. This made the middle-aged man somewhat unable to catch the young man in black robes.

Long Chen's longsword turned, and the tip of the blade gently rose. A four-petaled black lotus instantly formed, and with a swing of the longsword, the black lotus shot out in a straight line, aiming straight for the middle-aged man's face.

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. He twisted his body, and the saber aura appeared again, slashing at the black lotus. After a loud explosion, Long Chen's figure flashed, and four figures rushed out from his body.

Surrounding the middle-aged man from all four directions, ruthlessness filled his eyes. With a sweep of his saber, the four figures seemed to be blown away by the wind as their lights flickered and then extinguished. The middle-aged man's eyebrows creased together tightly.

Ding –

With the support of his sword, Long Chen stood upside down on top of the middle-aged man's head. The ruthlessness in the middle-aged man's eyes increased as his eyes gradually turned blood-red. The hilt of the broadsword above his head opened up and a wolf howled as it rushed towards Long Chen. Long Chen flipped backwards and retreated.

The death of Free and Unrestrained Hero caused Long Chen to feel guilt, but at the same time, it also added a hint of killing intent. The killing intent toward the cannibal horde, the killing intent towards any enemy who wanted to kill him.

Long Chen looked at the middle-aged man rushing over and stood still. The long sword was held horizontally in front of his chest. He raised his hand and touched the sword.

"Great Destruction Sword, first move!"

The long sword slowly slid down. It did not have the slightest bit of gorgeous Qi, only a simple and unadorned sword.

The middle-aged man was still rushing forward, but in that instant, he turned into a dried corpse. His momentum only allowed him to run four or five steps further, staring at Long Chen with his protruding eyes, and he fell to the ground not far from Long Chen.

At this moment, the battle was more or less over. The strength of the group wearing the Silver Winged Wolves was clearly much higher than the other group. There were dozens of corpses lying on the ground, and only four or five of them were dressed in silver robes.

"Big brother!" Just as the middle-aged man fell to the ground, the silver-robed men called out 'Big Brother' in succession. Long Chen indifferently looked at the few people who approached him.

The person in the lead was a youth who was about the same age as Long Chen. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and even though he was wearing cloth clothes, his first glance gave off a fierce aura, and there was a lot of calm between his brows. The other people were older than the middle-aged man, tightly protecting the youth in the middle.

"Together?" The youngster grinned at Long Chen, his lips red and his teeth white. He did not fear the silver-robed men that were charging at him.

Long Chen's face was pale, and the spirit energy in his dantian's core was almost depleted. With a flip of his hand, he put away the long sword, and the remaining spirit energy entered the three runes on his wrist.

Long Chen did not reply. He directly rushed towards a silver gown that was coming at him. A single punch. That silver robe spat out blood as it flew backwards, knocking over several silver gowns that were about to charge at him.

"Ha ha!" On the other side, the young man laughed loudly. He raised the golden sword in his hand and wiped off the blood on his face as he shouted, "KILL!" He then rushed out.

Ding ding dang dang. All of the silver-robed individuals that had fought Long Chen were incomparably shocked.

Long Chen didn't use a weapon and only used his fists. He'd beaten the blades of many people to a pulp, completely ignoring the blood that dripped from his fists.

If the broadsword struck its chest, it wouldn't care at all. It would just continue to hack forward, but if it struck any other place, it would directly use its arm to block. The clanging sound made all the silver gowns tremble.

However, what caused them to be even more shocked was Long Chen's suicidal madness. His ice-cold gaze would cause anyone who looked at him to feel weak in the bottom of their heart. The few youths by the side were all astonished.

Long Chen was venting his anger, venting his hatred towards the cannibal branch, and also his guilt towards the unaffiliated. With each stroke, Long Chen's hatred grew even stronger, and his killing intent grew even more intense.

No one was willing to come into direct contact with Long Chen. There were seven or eight people surrounding him, but they did not move forward. Long Chen's sleeves were torn apart, revealing his arms.

"Young master!" A loud shout suddenly came from not too far away.

"Retreat!" With a loud shout from Long Chenyi, he lifted his saber and ran. The others in the silver gown, upon hearing the shout, ran away. The people surrounding Long Chen ran the fastest, afraid that Long Chen would catch up to them.

Long Chen turned around and a group of people came. Leading them was an old man wearing a grey robe with grey hair. His hands were tucked into his wide sleeves and he had a slightly hunched back.

"Young master." The group of people gathered around the youth with thick eyebrows and big eyes. "I'm fine." The youth waved his hand and walked towards Long Chen.

Approaching Long Chen, the youth cupped his hands together and said in a clear voice, "I enjoyed the beating!" "May I ask what your name is?"

Long Chen paused. "Long Chen."

The youth paused for a second and then probed, "Brother Li Tang, does Brother Long have enmity with the Tiger and Wolf Guards?"

"The Tiger Wolf Guards?" As he thought about it, Long Chen glanced at the people lying on the ground, clad in silver clothing, and shook his head. "No."

Li Tang was stunned again. "Brother Long, this Tiger and Wolf Guards are the elites of the imperial family. Although you didn't have anything to do with them before, but now that you've killed their men, it's likely going to lead to a lot of trouble."

"If he wants to kill me, I'll kill him. No matter how troublesome it is, just kill him." Long Chen stared at Li Tang as he spoke. Until now, Long Chen still didn't know Li Tang's origin and purpose. He had already contacted Mo Jian, who was in his soul, and at such a close distance, Long Chen was confident that he could instantly take Li Tang hostage.

However, if he were to get involved in this battle for no reason, it was just as Li Tang had said; he feared that it would bring about some trouble.

Although he spoke of killing intent, this was directly linked to his strength. He didn't have the strength to kill so many people right now. Killing a small leader would use up almost all of his spiritual energy.

When Long Chen and the Sharp Scales came out, they had separated. Long Chen and the Sharp Scales were connected by their minds, and even though they were connected to the Sharp Scales at the moment, they weren't that strong, so they didn't know how to find them.

Hearing Long Chen's words, Li Tang was startled. That faintly discernible killing intent came forth without restraint. The old man behind Li Tang slowly stretched out a pair of large, thick hands from his sleeves, staring at Long Chen with bright eyes.

As he looked at Long Chen's exposed chest, his heart started to sweat. If such ruthlessness at such a young age were to occur in the future, just how far would he be able to go?

"Brother Long, I mean no harm, your injuries are so severe, if you don't mind, can you come to my manor to rest for a bit, and then we can go to the place you want to go after you recover. What do you think, Brother Long?" Li Tang said sincerely.

There wasn't the slightest bit of malice in his actions, but Long Chen still didn't dare to relax. After being together with that scum Rui Lin for a long time, he had already learned a few things, what kind of problems do you need to grasp before doing them properly? Otherwise, he would be played around like a fool in the dark, just like a wanderer who had been lured by the sharp scales and eaten by a fire sparrow.

Not only that, Long Chen was equally unsure. Li Tang had just said that the Tiger Wolf Guards they killed were the hounds of the Tianxin royal family. How could they possibly fight against the Tiger Wolf Guards?

"Why did the Tiger Wolf Guards kill you?" Long Chen straightforwardly asked.

"It's just like what happened with Brother Long. They killed our people, so of course we have to go back and kill them." Li Tang said.

Long Chen stared at Li Tang, and Li Tang looked at Long Chen. The only feeling Li Tang gave Long Chen was that his cultivation was unfathomable. It wasn't that his cultivation was unfathomable, but rather, it was a type of intelligence.

"Brother Long, I do not have any ill intentions. I just want to invite Brother Long to come to the manor to take a seat. Would Brother Long be willing to give me some face?" Li Tang extended another invitation.

Long Chen did not hesitate and nodded his head in agreement. Right now, he still did not know how far away the sharp scales were. Long Chen hoped that he could find a place to cultivate and quietly wait for the sharp scales.

Another reason was that he had killed the people from the Tiger Wolf Guards. The Tiger Wolf Guards might even know that they were chasing after him. There were also several that had seen him before. If he came again, Long Chen wasn't sure if there would be others with higher cultivation.

If more came, then it would be too late to run. And right now, Li Tang and his group had also killed the members of the Tiger and Wolf Guards, so even if the Tiger and Wolf Guards came, they would still have a group of helpers, saving him a lot of trouble. Furthermore, Long Chen didn't feel any malice from Li Tang's side.

Li Tang was overjoyed as he ordered the few people behind him to clean up the corpses on the ground before turning around and making a gesture towards Long Chen. Long Chen walked out with Li Tang by his side, and the old man silently followed behind him.

As Long Chen walked, he took out two pieces of chaos saliva and was about to sprinkle them on his wounds, but he stopped when he took them out. This was taken from Free and Unrestrained, so Long Chen put it back. When Li Tang and the elder behind him saw the Primal Chaos Saliva, their pupils shrank. Li Tang's pair of black and white eyes continuously flickered. From within, one could see the faintly discernible Wings of hope.

"Brother Long, this is the spiritual medicine passed down to me by my ancestors." Li Tang handed Long Chen a small bottle. Long Chen paused for a moment, but still accepted it. "Thanks. I'll return it to you in the future."

"Brother Long, I'm sorry." Li Tang laughed.

"Why is there only a man wearing a silver robe and imprint wolf among the Tigerwolf Guards?" Long Chen suddenly asked.

"Brother Long, you don't know. The Tiger and Wolf Guards are divided into two parts. The Wolf Guards came today and the Tiger Guards came. Compared to the Tiger and Wolf Guards, the Wolf Guards can't even compare in power."

Most of the Wolf Guards were at the Core Formation stage, while the leader was only at the Spirit Transformation stage. The leader was only at the soldier building stage, but the weakest of the Tiger Guards was at the soldier building stage. However, they've heard that the two commanders of the Tiger and Wolf Guards were at the same level.

People like us are nothing but clowns in the eyes of the Tiger Wolf Guards, so they don't put us in their eyes at all. Therefore, they will only send the Wolf Guards, but sending this Wolf Guards here would almost kill us all. Li Tang explained, and at the end, he could not help but sigh.

Long Chen was stunned. "Brother Li, you flatter me." Long Chen cupped his hands together. Long Chen's reaction caused Li Tang to be somewhat astonished. He thought that Long Chen would only reply coldly, but he didn't expect him to say something like that.

He couldn't blame Long Chen for this, especially after spending so much time with the scales. Long Chen's words had even surprised him, not to mention Li Tang.

Li Tang laughed and whistled. Four or five horses came running from a distance.

"Brother Long, after you." Li Tang raised his hand. Long Chen, who had never ridden a horse before, was stunned. He wanted to get close to the horse, but the horse would retreat with a scream as if it was extremely intimidating.

"This …" Li Tang was stunned.

"The killing intent is too strong, the horses are frightened." The old man behind Li Tang slowly spoke. Long Chen leaped up onto the back of the horse, and the horse galloped back and forth. He wanted to throw Long Chen off his back.

"If you don't want to die, then calm down." The sound of the horses' hooves was too loud. Li Tang did not hear what Long Chen said. He only saw Long Chen bend over and grab the horses' ears to steady himself. This made the hope in Li Tang's eyes grow even stronger.

Everyone galloped away on their horses.
