Chapter 1425 - Chapter 1425 Chapter 699 Senluo Purgatory_2

Chapter 1425: Chapter 699: Senluo Purgatory_2 Chapter 1425: Chapter 699: Senluo Purgatory_2 Negotiations are an accumulation of experience. Although Tang Luo had extraordinary martial prowess and courage, his age was still showing.

Facing the Beast Taming Sect, Zhongzhou Divine Court, and the patrols of the Dutian Heavenly King was daunting, how could he not be nervous?

Due to the heinous crimes committed by the Demon Lord Gou Chen, he was already at the top of the most-wanted list in the Three Realms Holy Land.

It was clear that once Tang Luo’s identity was exposed, it would implicate the entire Longxi Alliance and Tang Clan. The seemingly fierce new power of the dragon boats was like a flat boat on the ocean in the eyes of the established holy lands.

They didn’t even need to stir up a tempest, just the lingering ripples were enough to capsize it.

He wanted to shatter Tang Luo’s “disguised” strong fortress as well.

“The fish is bound to die, but the net will not break.”

Duan Longcheng smiled and said, “If it were only the Evil King Palace and the Longxi Alliance, then there might be a chance to fight desperately, but what if my palace sends someone to Long Valley?”

“Are you threatening me?”

Tang Luo stood up suddenly, his eyes wide with anger, and shouted at Duan Longcheng, as if he was about to charge at him the next moment.

Duan Longcheng was not flustered at all. He still had that relaxed demeanor, and instead of putting his hands in front, he took several steps closer to Tang Luo.

“It is a threat, what can you do about it?”

Duan Longcheng steadily advanced, his tone becoming increasingly oppressive, “Crush the beast soul in your body using Yin-Yang Grinding? Do you really think that counts as leverage? The beast soul can be re-cast upon its destruction, but I assure you, all that you cherish will crumble in an instant! Want to give it a try?”

At this moment, the distance between the two was less than three yards. With the explosive power of a Fierce Realm fighter, this distance was as good as standing face to face.

And Tang Luo, being a recognized master of physical combat in the Longzhou Martial Arts World, Duan Longcheng was fearless despite being so close.

“A master of Earth Manipulation Technique, with the enemy right before you, but do you dare to make a move, Tang, Heaven’s, Pride?”

With arrogance, he pointed at his own nose, Duan Longcheng’s face filled with mockery, “Trembling with rage yet unable to strike, it must be unbearable, right? This is just the beginning.”

“The Longyuan Spirit Realm belongs to the Evil King Palace, as does the Yun Family’s Divine Artifact.”

“So, hand over the Eight Treasure Kasaya and the Ghostly Cloud Lock!”

Tang Luo’s face was somber. He slowly raised his hand, stripped off the Divine Artifact and Divine Armor, and threw them on the ground in front of him.

Duan Longcheng looked down, scoffed, and did not intend to challenge the remaining pride of Heaven’s Pride, he looked up and continued, “Very good, it seems Heaven’s Pride is sensible. I hope you can continue to be obedient like today, which will spare us many unnecessary sacrifices and conflicts.”

“What do you mean!?”

Tang Luo’s face remained dark as he coldly asked.

“To protect what you cherish always comes at a price.”

Duan Longcheng smiled and pointed at Tang Luo from afar, “As long as Heaven’s Pride continues to obey, the secret that you are the Demon Lord Gou Chen will remain just between you and me, no third person will know.”

Reporting to the Dutian Heavenly King about Tang Luo being the Demon Lord would have no benefits for the Evil King Palace, but controlling this astonishingly powerful Heaven’s Pride could be extremely profitable.

“Ha ha ha, hahaha, hahahaha.”

Tang Luo suddenly burst out laughing, loud and pitiful like a ghost wailing.

As his voice echoed, the Diancang Mountain Valley was filled with this laughter that sounded like crying, even the high-level fighters of the Evil King Palace stationed far away were filled with this ghostly laughter.

Duan Longcheng, who was closest, felt the ground tremble slightly with Tang Luo’s laughter, but he didn’t care.

He knew Tang Luo was a proud man and that a proud man needed time to lower his head to be a dog, to say goodbye to the past, to overcome that barrier in his heart.

This bit of forbearance and tolerance, the Young Palace Master of the Evil King Palace had it.

Of course, apart from forbearance and tolerance, what was more important was the confidence in his own strength.

As a formidable champion of the heroic contest, Duan Longcheng’s expertise wasn’t just in the Red-eyed Evil Dragon Spirit; his mastery in physical combat and Spirit Arts hadn’t fallen behind either.

The true meaning of being exceptionally capable is that the weak points of a real powerhouse are still stronger than the strong points of most pretenders.

What’s more, he was wearing the Silver Dragon Divine Armor, and with this Divine Armor protecting him, even if he was slightly weaker in physical combat, he could still confront Tang Luo face-to-face.

This was the fundamental reason he dared to be so blatantly aggressive in front of Tang Luo.

The reliance of the strong has always been on oneself alone.

Like a general confident of victory, Duan Longcheng stood with his hands behind him, his head held high, turning the ghastly and miserable ghostly laughter into a song of triumph.

After a while, the laughter abruptly stopped.

Along with the howling, Tang Luo’s expression also disappeared.

“Have you laughed enough?”

Duan Longcheng said calmly, “Since you have laughed enough, you should understand that after today, whatever this palace tells you to do, you will do. In front of others, you are Longxi’s Pride, but in front of this palace, you are a dog. Do you understand?”

Called a dog, the Longxi’s Pride laughed, showing not a hint of anger but rather a touch of pity in his eyes, which somewhat displeased the confident Duan Longcheng.

“What kind of look is that?”

“Of course, it’s the look of pity for a fool!”

Tang Luo spoke indifferently, flicking the Ghostly Cloud Lock off the ground with the tip of his foot and into his hand, chuckling lightly, “Although I have long known that the Mimicry Technique uses soul casting and the whimsical inspirations are tied to the spirit beast, the Young Palace Master, being a titled strongman, has such poor perception?”

Duan Longcheng frowned, “What nonsense are you spouting?”

“What I am saying, the Young Palace Master will know right away!”

The Ghostly Cloud Lock flew out of his hand, and the long chain transformed into a mist enveloping them both.

Suddenly, Tang Luo made his move, but Duan Longcheng did not panic, infusing Spiritual Power into the Silver Dragon Divine Armor on his body, causing his physique to swell.

“It seems that the pride is not smart enough to choose such a time to take action.”

Duan Longcheng’s voice became very deep as his figure grew extremely muscular.

Each Divine Artifact has its unique features; aside from being incredibly sturdy, this Silver Dragon Divine Armor possesses the power of dragon force.

Empowered by immense strength, Duan Longcheng was confident in facing any opponent, including Tang Luo before him.

It was not until he saw Diancang Mountain’s land stretch out into gold, and golden rock walls booming up from all directions, that his expression changed.

The golden rocks that rose from all corners met in the clouds above, sealing the space within the Cloud Lock.

With his Evil Pupil open, Duan Longcheng could clearly see Tang Luo standing right in front of him, and behind him, another aura rose like a fierce beast.

“Confident Young Palace Master.”

Clenching his fists in the darkness, Tang Luo bared his white teeth and said with a sinister smile, “Welcome to Senluo Purgatory.”

…

The experts of the Evil King Palace, vigilant on all sides, would never have expected that just as they had finished setting up their formation, trouble would erupt at the heart of Diancang Mountain.

The sudden rise of the eight-sided golden rock sealed into a corner tower–a signature Earth Manipulation Technique of Tang Sen–was instantly recognized by the Evil King Palace Martial Ancestors, who had been at odds with the Longxi Alliance for years.

They knew this fierce body cultivator all too well.

Seeing their Young Palace Master trapped under the golden rock, along with Tang Luo inside, even though Duan Longcheng was wearing the Silver Dragon Divine Armor, an ominous premonition arose.

Rushing back to the center of Diancang Mountain, Spirit Arts poured down like waterfalls onto the golden corner tower.

Although the golden rocks were tough, facing attacks that were at least at the peak of the Profound level, they began to crumble.

But Tang Sen had been hiding under Diancang Mountain for a long time and had accumulated an unknown amount of golden rocks under the cover of Tang Luo’s ghostly laughter.

The broken corner tower was instantly replenished and healed, and through a corner torn open by the Spirit Arts, the experts of the Evil King Palace glimpsed, by the light, the greatly enlarged and muscular figure of Duan Longcheng being torn apart by two even larger creatures, bellowing in pain.

“Hurry and find the Grandmaster! The Young Palace Master is in danger!”

Three Martial Ancestors, biting their teeth in agony, went to summon Duan Siping, while the remaining Martial Ancestors of the Evil King Palace could not care less and directly used their strongest attacks.

The sturdy golden corner tower was instantly shattered, revealing the situation inside.

Tang Sen and Tang Luo, both covered in blood, stood on the golden ground, holding the head and torn limbs of Duan Longcheng, whose eyes were wide with shock.
