1527 Chapter 1527
Long Chen nodded. "Since we are already in this mess, we might as well use it to our advantage. I do need to boost my cultivation even more. I need to reach the peak..."
"You'll need to make him use his Origin Attacks, but he seems like he wants to use his Soul Weapon. That won't give you anything."
"I know, but after I make him realize that his weapon can't hurt him, of course, he would have to shift."
He wanted to avoid the battle, but if he couldn't, it was better to use it to his advantage, and what could be better for him than his Sword of Time?
The Sword was a God Tier weapon, but it wasn't just any God Tier weapon. It was the King of those weapons. The Sword of Time could absorb and refine the origin energy from attacks to boost someone's strength, and at the level Long Chen stood, there were only a few people with such massive strength which could help him grow his strength, and one of them was the person right before him who was angered by him.
Long Chen took a calm breath as he stretched his arms.
"I'm telling you the truth, but if you don't want to believe me, then I won't try too much. You're a grown man, but if you still want to pretend to be a kid, then be my guest. But just know, you can't defeat me either."
"Such arrogance." Even in the face of death, Long Chen was talking so confidently. The White Tiger King couldn't believe it.
"I'll see how long your arrogance lasts."
He didn't even move himself to attack Long Chen. Instead, he just tossed his spear. The spear flew at a speed that made it impossible to even be seen at times for many. Long Chen used his Buddha's Gaze to keep an eye on the Spear. Without it, even he would've been in trouble.
He swiftly moved to the side, avoiding the spear. Moreover, he had conveniently stood before the entrance of the Maze of Death for that moment itself.
If the spear got inside the maze of death, it was going to be closed inside, and then the other side was supposed to be the exit. Even the Spear couldn't break the wall of the Maze of death to return.
Just as Long Chen had planned, the spear missed him and flew inside the maze of Death. It tried to return to the target, but by the time it turned around, the doors had already closed.
Long Chen flashed a bright grin. There was no way for the spear to return without clearing the maze twice from scratch, and that wasn't possible without the help of the White Tiger King. If he wanted his Soul Spear back, the only way to get it back was if he personally went inside and brought it back while clearing the maze again.
Long Chen was sure that the old man wasn't going to do it. He was so infuriated that he wasn't going to go anywhere without killing Long Chen, and it was exactly what he wanted.
Now that the old man didn't have his soul spear, all he had left were his insanely powerful skills that Long Chen was waiting for. Those skills were his food.
The skills certainly had the potential to overwhelm the Sword of Time since they were coming from such strong people, but Long Chen was willing to take the risk.
Long Chen finally called out his Sword of Time, letting the powerful aura free. "If this is what you want, this is what you shall get. I hope you don't hold back."
*****
In one part of the realm of the White Tigers, Long Chen and the White Tiger King were prepared to go against each other, while at another end of the same realm, another group had arrived.
A portal appeared straight at the entrance of the Royal Castle of the White Tiger Clan. Seeing the portal, all the Royal Guards surrounded the Portal, wondering who could've arrived. Since their King wasn't here, they needed to be really careful regarding any guests.
A small group of people stepped out of the portal, being led by the Black Tortoise King. The old man was followed by his son Zhu Chang, one man who appeared like a human and a Demon.
The old man had arrived here many times before and had some good reputation in the entire clan. The Black Tortoise Clan had no enmity with anyone as they were considered most peaceful. The men lowered their weapons. One of them went to inform the Young Prince about the arrival of guests while the others stayed with the group.
After a long time, the guard returned and informed everyone that they were invited in.
The group of four people, accompanied by the Snake Monarch, were brought inside the castle under the strict supervision of the guards.
They were taken to the Royal Court, which was now being heard by the young prince in the absence of his father.
The massive doors of the Royal Court opened, and the group of four was allowed to enter.
"Greetings, Senior Zhu. I apologize, but I must welcome you in the absence of my father this time. Father isn't here at the moment."
The Black Tortoise King glanced at Long Chen's clone. Until now, everything was as he had described.
The White Tiger King was absent, which meant the story about him being with Long Chen was true.
"May I ask where he went?" The Black Tortoise King inquired
"I'm afraid I can't answer that question. That aside, who are the people you brought with you? And what's the purpose of your arrival? I might be able to help you in father's stead. Please tell me." The young Prince had assumed the role of his father, and he was willing to do everything his father would've done, including helping the Black Tortoise King.
"I'm afraid it's something that only your father can help with. There is a person we are looking for. He arrived in this Realm, and we got some information that he's with your father, and they're both in danger."
"My father is in danger? In our own realm?" The young prince burst into laughter. "You surely jest. There's nothing that can harm my father. Moreover, you don't even know where he is; how can you know he's in danger?"
"Your Father is near the southeast town. He went there on exploration with his daughter and twenty of your Royal Guards, and at the moment, he is trapped in the Maze of Death," Long Chen lazily stated.
