Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Long Chen_1

"Hmph, how do I know this isn’t a trap?"

Lord Long snorted coldly, "Unless you bring that person out, there’s no point in talking outside!"

"That’s fine, but for the safety of both sides, please have your men retreat 500 meters away.

You may keep one person by your side."

Ma Chao said.

"That can be arranged. Ghost Blade, you stay. Everyone else, retreat one kilometer away. There, is that sincere enough?"

Lord Long called out loudly.

"Thank you!"

Ma Chao bowed slightly and shouted into the house, "Zhao Long, bring the person out."

Lord Long then whispered to Xue Ying, "Proceed with the plan!"

"Understood!"

Xue Ying led the troops in retreat.

At a distance of one kilometer away, no one was visible anymore.

After all, the terrain here wasn’t flat, and although Wang Han’s mansion was the only residence within a hundred-mile radius, it was an area of scenic beauty with plenty of cover.

Doing something stealthily was quite easy.

The new head of Jiangbei was brought out, and Lord Long checked the time.

He smiled and said, "So you’re the new leader here. Why bother with all of this? We could very well keep to our own waters.

Stay in your Jiangbei, and I’ll stay in my Jiangnan. Why must we resort to violence and killing?"

As he spoke, he walked toward Ma Chao and Zhao Long.

Ghost Blade followed closely behind.

A cold sneer flashed in the new Jiangbei leader’s eyes.

Up to now, he still thought the old fool had fallen for his ruse.

"Nonsense! How could we keep to our own waters? You killed Wang Han!

Our Family Head has sworn to take your head to pay respects to Wang Han.

If I fail to complete my mission, my own head will fall to the ground.

So, I’m really sorry about this!"

The Jiangbei leader sneered coldly, "Old fool, you’ve calculated everything, but I’m afraid you didn’t foresee falling into someone else’s scheme. Gentlemen, it’s your move!"

At that moment, Lord Long was only two or three meters away from Ma Chao and Zhao Long.

Both Ma Chao and Zhao Long had the opportunity to kill Lord Long.

Even Ghost Blade couldn’t stop both of them at the same time.

The new leader of Jiangbei burst into laughter, "You’re finished, hahaha!"

However, Lord Long’s expression remained as calm as ever.

He shook his head, "Pitiful. If you weren’t so bent on killing me, I wouldn’t have to kill you!

You think I’ve fallen into a trap, but you don’t realize that the one who has really fallen into a trap is you."

As his words fell, the Wang Residence suddenly burst into flames.

Constructed in the American wooden style, once it caught fire, it became completely uncontrollable.

And the people of Jiangbei were all inside.

Upon seeing the fire, they panicked and scrambled outwards.

However, Xue Ying and his forces had already surrounded the residence tightly.

They could escape, but they would be crippled first.

We don’t want your lives, but we can’t let you keep your fighting strength.

"What’s going on? Why aren’t you taking action!"

The new leader of Jiangbei became anxious.

Hiss!

All of a sudden, he felt an intense pain accompanied by a violent shake of his body.

He was bleeding!

"You! You guys are not from the north!"

On the brink of death, the new Jiangbei leader realized he’d been played.

He also recognized the terror of Lord Long.

But it was all too late.

His consciousness quickly blurred, and soon after, he fell to the ground, lifeless.

"Your leader is dead. Do you still wish to resist stubbornly?"

Ma Chao yelled out to those inside the house.

The people from Jiangbei became even more panicked.

As one side weakened, the other gained strength.

The battle had only just begun when it was already clear it was nearing its conclusion.

"Watch out!"

Suddenly, Zhao Long cried out in alarm.

Amidst the glow of the flames, a person appeared behind Lord Long, seemingly out of nowhere.

A terrifying person, with iron gloves on his hands, glinting with a cold light.

He aimed a powerful blow at Lord Long’s back.

Clang!

A clear ringing sound echoed as Ghost Blade blocked the deadly strike just in time.

If Zhao Long hadn’t discovered the danger in time, Lord Long might have already been killed.

The person who came was extremely terrifying.

His combat power was perhaps even more horrifying than Ghost Blade’s.

"Long Chen!"

Lord Long recognized the man; he was a master from his Family Clan.

His strength was absolutely more terrifying than Ghost Blade’s.

"Hehe, I knew it, you old fox are tougher than a bunch of wine bags and rice bags.

So, the master sent me to send you to heaven."

Long Chen said with a laugh.

"Why!"

Long Hao said coldly, "I have guarded Jiangnan Prefecture for decades for him, amassing so much wealth.

And he wants to kill me?"

"You made him lose face; of course you must die!

Your strategy was clever, indeed killing Wang Han, but it’s undeniable that the provincial city was breached.

Many people mocked him because of that.

So, why be so clever for nothing?"

Long Chen said as he toyed with his Iron Fists, smiling.

"Just because of that reason?"

Lord Long was stunned; he thought the Long Family knew that he had pledged loyalty to Xiao Chen.

But it turned out that wasn’t the case.

"Uh, just this reason, of course. Plus, you’ve gotten old and increasingly disobedient.

Maybe there are other reasons, but they’re not the main point.

The main point is you made the master lose face."

Long Chen said with a laugh.

"Alright, no more talking, let’s send you on your way!"

Long Chen charged to kill once again.

Naturally, Ghost Blade wouldn’t allow him to kill Lord Long.

He met the charge, clashing mightily with Long Chen.

Ghost Blade was a master, his Black Blade extremely terrifying.

Able to slay Wang Han without a scratch showed his fearsome ability.

But Long Chen was stronger.

Each clash made Ghost Blade’s palms tingle from numbness.

Yet, Ghost Blade didn’t shy away; even injured, he was determined to protect Lord Long’s life.

Long Chen was forty years old.

Ghost Blade was only in his thirties.

Therefore, Ghost Blade felt he still had room to grow!

"I really don’t want to kill you!"

Long Chen fought while he sighed, "Ghost Blade, why don’t you come with me to Capital City.

With your skills, you would still be highly valued in Capital City.

Why follow a hopeless wreck?

He is doomed to die.

Do you want to be buried with him?"

Without a word, Ghost Blade’s blade sped up, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Ignorant of death and life!"

A chill flashed in Long Chen’s eyes; suddenly he thrust out both fists.

Ghost Blade desperately resisted.

But he was still sent flying by the other’s extreme force.

However, Ghost Blade staggered several steps backward and forcibly stopped himself.

Blood spurted from his mouth, yet he still charged back into the fray.

Long Chen was somewhat surprised, "This guy, given a few more years, might become even stronger than me!"

But such a person, if he refused to submit, could only be killed.

Otherwise, he’d become a major problem in the future.

"Ghost Blade, go! You’re no match for him; no need to throw away your life for an old man like me!"

Lord Long roared.

He could see it.

Ghost Blade was tough, but definitely no match for Long Chen.

"I won’t go!"

Ghost Blade replied with just two words, still fiercely engaging in the fight.

At a certain moment, Long Chen found an opportunity, knocking Ghost Blade to the ground.

His Iron Fist smashed viciously toward Ghost Blade’s head.

Had it connected, Ghost Blade would be dead.

However, just at that moment, two figures appeared.

One of them grabbed onto one of Long Chen’s arms.

It was Ma Chao and Zhao Long!

Knowing they were unlikely to intervene successfully in the battle, they had been waiting for an opportunity.

Now, it had arrived!
