Chapter 420: Chapter 406: One Wave Subsides, Another Arises

Dongfang Wuxin coughed violently, struggling to breathe.

Seeing this, Long Chen retracted his foot, gazing down at Dongfang Wuxin, and said calmly, "You wish to kill me? You’re still too inexperienced. If you decide to come after me in your next life, do me a favor and bring someone stronger. These weaklings are barely worth the effort, hardly meaningful."

Pfft.

Hearing this, Dongfang Wuxin spat out blood, his face turning fiercely dark as if he was about to pass away.

"Sigh, never mind, talking too much to you is useless, I might as well send you on your way."

Long Chen made a move to end Dongfang Wuxin’s life.

Frightened, Dongfang Wuxin quivered and desperately yelled, "Don’t kill me, I don’t want to die, I’m not ready to die."

"Whether or not you want to die is your concern, whether I kill you or not, that’s up to me," Long Chen said indifferently.

"Just don’t kill me, and I can tell you many secrets, really, I swear the things I can reveal are worth far more than my life," Dongfang Wuxin hurriedly said.

He hoped to preserve his life by doing this.

Long Chen paused for a moment, then asked, "What secrets? If what you say isn’t explosive enough, you’ll still die. Of course, if your information is valuable, I might just spare your life. After all, whether you live or die doesn’t really matter to me, it all depends on your performance."

"Alright, I promise what I have to say will interest you," Dongfang Wuxin hurriedly said.

"What are you planning to reveal?"

Just then, a fire appeared in the sky, transforming into a blurred human figure.

Seeing the figure, Dongfang Wuxin’s expression drastically changed, "Mas... Master, I’m sorry, I... I don’t want to die, I must speak."

"Don’t be foolish," the figure said in a low voice.

This figure was a Dharma Body projection of the southern Sword Master.

Immediately, the Sword Master turned to Long Chen, "Long Chen, please let my disciple go. If there’s a grudge between us, let’s settle it ourselves. It has nothing to do with others."

"What grudge do I have with you? It was you who acted without understanding, and if so, I am fully prepared to see it through to the end. As for your disciple, whether I kill him or let him live, it’s not your place to decide anymore," Long Chen scoffed.

"Young man, are you sure you want to do this?" the Sword Master asked, his expression darkening.

"Get lost."

Long Chen waved his hand, and with a slap, disbursed the Sword Master’s Dharma Body.

It was the second time his Dharma Body had been shattered.

Seeing this, Dongfang Wuxin knew he really had to divulge something valuable today, or his life would truly be in danger.

Long Chen stared at Dongfang Wuxin, not speaking, waiting for him to reveal the information himself.

After organizing his thoughts, Dongfang Wuxin said in a low voice, "Actually, my master is currently undergoing a Breakthrough in retreat. He has been in retreat for over a year now, and although the success rate is uncertain, it is certain that once he successfully Breakthroughs, he will be invincible in this world."

"What is your master’s current realm?" Long Chen asked.

"He is at the peak of the Cave Law Realm. If he succeeds in his Breakthrough, he will enter the Rune Dao Realm. Rune Dao is divine. Reaching this realm, he becomes a Land Immortal Divine," Dongfang Wuxin said somberly.

Long Chen’s pupils shrank upon hearing this.

The Cave Law Realm was his current realm.

But the Rune Dao Realm was a whole different world.

Rune Dao, where Spiritual Power transforms into law, possesses immense power and can control some of the universal Taoist Principles. Saying they are Land Immortal Divine was not an exaggeration.

Long Chen hadn’t imagined that the old man was trying to break through to the Land Immortal Divine Realm.

If he succeeded, would it be a fatal blow to himself?

Pondering this, Long Chen felt somewhat solemn.

"Don’t even think about interrupting his seclusion. The location of his retreat is unknown to anyone, and it’s also guarded by a Divine Beast. That Divine Beast’s realm is also the Cave Law Realm.

Moreover, my master’s lover from his youth is also guarding him. No, I should say my master’s wife.

My master’s wife is the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect and is also at the Cave Law Realm.

Long Chen, I’ve told you everything I know, please let me go," Dongfang Wuxin bowed his head, pleading for his life.

"Did you ever consider that by revealing your master’s secrets now, you won’t be able to live afterwards?" Long Chen said lightly.

"I can live," Dongfang Wuxin said. "As long as I destroy my Cultivation and live hidden amongst commoners, he won’t be able to find me since he can’t track me by a cultivator’s aura."

"You’d really give up your Cultivation?"

Long Chen was astonished.

"I would."

Dongfang Wuxin raised his hand and immediately destroyed his Spirit Sea, debilitiating his Cultivation right in front of Long Chen.

With his Cultivation gone, Dongfang Wuxin seemed to age several years, transforming from a youth to a middle-aged man. His appearance greatly altered.

"Can you let me go now?" Dongfang Wuxin asked cautiously.

"Get out."

Long Chen turned away.

Initially, he had intended to kill Dongfang Wuxin.

But since Dongfang Wuxin had taken such drastic steps, whether Long Chen killed him or not was now completely meaningless.

Such a person would no longer have any interaction with him in the future.

"Thank you."

Dongfang Wuxin struggled to stand up, each step he took exceedingly difficult.

After a few steps, Dongfang Wuxin suddenly stopped and said, "Long Chen, provoking you was the biggest mistake of my life. The Dragon Order means nothing before you. I’ve a strong premonition that even my master might not be able to defeat you. I hope you reach the pinnacle of Great Xia. Until we meet again."

Long Chen didn’t respond, but felt a wave of emotions internally.

Dongfang Wuxin was a talented individual. Had he not encountered Long Chen, his Cultivation could have been dominant far and wide.
