Chapter 2606 The Evil Hand

chapter 2606 the evil hand

long chen had evilmoon stabbing through the elder of the divine families’ chest. right now, black runes lit up on top of evilmoon, filled with explosive power ready to be unleashed at any moment.

even if that elder was a heaven merging expert, his life was still in long chen’s hands.

seven other elders were just a few feet away from long chen, but they came to a sudden stop, not daring to attack.

although they detested long chen, they knew that he was a madman. he had even killed a sovereign sprout, so he wouldn’t be afraid of killing one of their heaven merging elders.

in fact, this elder belonged to the zhao family, so he naturally hated long chen to the bone. their side had been extremely unwilling from the start to have long chen be invited here to chat.

however, he had never dreamed that long chen would be able to ignore their bloodline pressure with the azure dragon battle armor. he was also the unlucky one to be standing closest to long chen.

“scram!” long chen barked at the other elders. he then spun the unlucky elder around, forcing those elders back.

“long chen, hurry and release elder zhao xing!” roared those elders.

in response, long chen slapped the elder in his hand thirty-six times, and this happened in the blink of an eye. no one else was capable of face-slapping someone so smoothly, not even a sovereign.

after all the slaps, that elder fell unconscious, and his head was no longer in a proper form. his face was no longer recognizable.

on the other hand, long chen’s killing intent was soaring. calling him a half-breed was insulting his parents. after finishing his slaps, rather than sating his fury, evilmoon’s light suddenly grew.

“stop!”

the various elders had thought that things would turn to negotiations once long chen’s slaps were done, but long chen was going completely off conventional reasoning. he was going to kill his hostage.

suddenly, space twisted. just as evilmoon’s power erupted, the elder vanished.

everyone was startled and turned to the front of the plaza to see a new group of people. their leader was a square-faced middle-aged man in violet-gold robes. he wore a crown and a jade belt. divine runes flickered within his eyes whenever he blinked.

when he arrived, it felt like spacetime had been taken control over. it was as if all fluctuations within heaven and earth existed only for him. the world’s laws seemed to revolve around him.

this was a terrifying expert that could not be described with simple words. he was holding the elder that long chen had been about to kill.

“greetings, lord venerate!”

all the elders bowed toward him. this was the divine families’ lord venerate.

at this moment, every expert present sucked in a cold gasp of air. they stared at the heaven executioner, waiting for his reaction.

the heaven executioner. this wasn’t a name but a title. it was the highest level of authority within the divine families’ law enforcement division.

the heaven executioner was an existence almost all members of the divine families were terrified of. he was called cold-blooded, merciless, and incomparably cruel because he had an almost perverted desire for torture. all those who had fallen into his hands regretted being born in this world.

the heaven executioner had strange desires when it came to the human body, especially to those with special abilities. it was said that his private room was filled with people’s organs. those people that the divine families had executed were all ‘studied’ by him.

other than a few people that could be counted, everyone in the divine families was afraid of this fiendish existence. hence, for long chen to call him not a man or woman stunned them all. at the same time, quite a few people felt some admiration that he would dare to say the words that they did not dare to say.

“little fellow, i’m very interested in you.”

the heaven executioner smiled. he whisked away the elder and vanished.

“lord venerate, elder zhao xing was simply overwhelmed by a moment of anger. his words were a bit emotional. but long chen...” the zhao family head immediately spoke up for elder zhao xing’s mercy. in fact, even the family heads couldn’t offend the heaven executioner, because being targeted by him was frightening. their fear for him even surpassed their fear for the lord venerate. therefore, the zhao family head only spoke up once the heaven executioner was gone. as for the execution coffin, it was the divine families’ most humane death sentence. a person would have their soul slowly extinguished inside. they would fall unconscious and not feel the slightest pain.

“elder zhao xing ignored the orders of the lord saint. death is too easy for him. the ones who previously insulted long chen can go see the heaven executioner themselves for the flogging punishment.” the lord venerate waved his hand, disregarding the zhao family head’s pleading.

the people who had previously insulted long chen all turned ashen. they didn’t dare to say anything though, so they left without another word.

the other elders’ expressions also changed. the lord venerate was truly enraged. he had killed one elder and punished dozens of others. hence, everyone was silent.

quite a few people rejoiced that they hadn’t said anything. as expected, calamity came from the mouth.

at this moment, the zhao family head’s expression was ugly, but she could only sit back down. she then glared at long chen with rancor that almost turned solid.

“do you have any complaints about how i handled things?” the lord venerate turned to long chen, speaking surprisingly politely. this shocked everyone.

long chen put away evilmoon and smiled. “nice job. first a show of might, and then killing the chicken to warn the monkey. not only that, you’re also killing two birds with one stone. how could i have any complaints?”

how could long chen not see through the lord venerate’s intentions? the lord venerate had to have been here from the start. why had he waited until long chen had been about to kill that elder?

it was because if long chen killed him, it would lose the face of the divine families. but by doing it himself, he gave a show of power, not to long chen, but to the other elders of the divine families. essentially, he had also used long chen.

the long family’s deputy elder shook his head. long chen was still too young. how could he directly say such words? was this not provoking the lord venerate?

however, unexpectedly, the lord venerate smiled. “as long as you can see my sincerity, then it's fine. why don’t we have a proper conversation now?”
