Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts-Chapter 5898: Cheating

“Boss Long Chen will be fine, right?” asked someone from the Undying Willow race’s camp.

Their hearts tensed when Long Chen walked onto the stage. Although they knew how strong he was, the enemies were beyond their imagination. Among them, this short fellow named Yuanshan was especially strong. Even though he was suppressing his aura, he radiated a soul-piercing intimidation that chilled them to the core.

As the final fighter, Yuanshan was definitely the strongest of the three. Hence, it was hard for Liu Minghao and the others not to feel worried for Long Chen.

“Don’t worry,” said Chu Yao with a warm smile, her gaze fixed on Long Chen’s back. “The reason Long Chen is so terrifying is that no one ever knows just how strong he really is.”

“Long Chen looks nonchalant at all times. He will never let others know all his trump cards. What you’ve seen is only a fraction of his power, so don’t even bother worrying!” added Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan and Chu Yao understood Long Chen far too well. Long Chen lived in a constant state of crisis, creating his habit of never exposing his trump cards.

Long Chen had a saying: “The moment an enemy knows all your cards, you’re already one foot in the grave.” So, not even Chu Yao, Liu Ruyan, or Guo Ran could claim to know how many aces Long Chen had up his sleeve.

When Long Chen stepped on the martial stage, it instantly recovered to its original state. At the same time, a square blood-colored barrier covered it.

Liu Xihua’s pupils contracted when she saw this blood-colored barrier.

She said, “That barrier… It’s specifically designed to counter the Sovereign Lord’s command tablet!”

“It’s not just strong—it isolates external auras,” said a senior member of the Undying race. “They want to ensure Long Chen can’t use the tablet.”

“Lian Sanqiang really intends to kill Long Chen,” another added darkly. “He’s even willing to sacrifice his race’s karmic luck to summon this Blood Heaven Formation.”

“What should we do? That barrier is formed from the Sea of Oblivion’s karmic power. Even if we combine forces, we can’t break it in one blow!”

“And more importantly, would Lian Sanqiang just sit and watch us try?”

The Undying race’s higher-ups exchanged anxious glances, helpless to act.

“Everyone, don’t panic,” Liu Xihua declared firmly. “First, Long Chen won’t lose so easily. And even if he does... I won’t let him die here.”

Only once the Blood Heaven Barrier was fully activated did the short man step onto the stage. The barrier did nothing to restrict him, and he passed through it effortlessly.

“Hahaha! Long Chen, this Blood Heaven Barrier will be your grave!” Yuanshan cackled, his shrill voice grating like needles stabbing into everyone's ears.

Long Chen replied, “Are you expending so much energy on this formation because you’re afraid of me using the Sovereign Lord’s tablet? You guys are laughable. Other than Little Qiang-zi, no one else is qualified to make me use it. And you? You’re just an ant—slightly stronger than most, but an ant all the same. And no matter how strong an ant gets, it’s still just an ant.”

Long Chen clasped his hands behind his back, looking at Yuanshan with mild disdain. His arrogant display enraged the spectators, but to Chu Yao and Liu Ruyan, it brought a smile to their lips. This was the Long Chen they knew.

“Boss Long Chen’s aura has changed!” Liu Rujiao exclaimed.

Long Chen now exuded an aura they’d never sensed before.

“When he fought in the Undying Demon Forest, he never saw you as true enemies. He was holding back,” Liu Ruyan explained excitedly. “This is the real Long Chen. Now you’ll witness his true power.”

In truth, even she was curious about Long Chen. He was a mystery—one that constantly drew her in.

“Hahaha, you’re funny. Does the human race not study history? Do you not know that humans were once enslaved, nothing more than livestock?” Yuanshan sneered. “Your race is the true ant.”

Shaking his head, Long Chen remarked, “First of all, the human race isn’t made of ants. If we were, we wouldn’t have led an era or stood at the peak of the ten thousand races. Second, when I say ‘ant,’ I’m not talking about the Devil Eye Water Lily race or the vegetative demon race. I’m talking about you. And third… whether someone is an ant or not depends on the gap between them. Even though we’re standing on the same stage, I’m still looking down on you—from far above.”

Long Chen’s tone remained unshakably calm, as if the life-and-death stakes of this battle didn’t concern him in the slightest. Furthermore, his words were sharp and merciless. The human race might have once endured humiliation, but they also had a legacy of glory—standing at the peak of the ten thousand races.

As for the Devil Eye Water Lily race, they had never produced talents who could compare to the human race’s best experts, let alone lead an era.

And as for Long Chen looking down on him—that wasn’t just a metaphor. Yuanshan was really short. It was simply impossible to look up and meet his eyes. The visual alone made the comment sting.

“You dare to look down on me?!”

Yuanshan was already furious, but that last remark sent his rage into overdrive. Killing intent exploded from him.

“Look down on you?” Long Chen shrugged. “If you were any shorter, I wouldn’t even be able to find you.”

That sudden jab caught everyone off-guard.

Chu Yao and Liu Ruyan tried their best to stifle a laugh. Even Liu Xihua’s lips twitched.

This joke was funny, but to the short man, it was as intense as venom. His fury boiled over into madness.

“You damn ant, I’ll definitely tear you to pieces today!” roared Yuanshan.

As he slammed his hands on the ground, the martial stage shuddered. But then, the tremors spread outward, affecting the area around the arena.

“The Sea of Oblivion’s energy… it is gathering toward him!”

In a mix of shock and outrage, an elder from the Undying race shouted, “This martial stage is basically a spirit-gathering array made for him! This is cheating!”
