Chapter 739 740: Endurance
Long Wu's arrival made Long Cangjue and others frown slightly, secretly shocked in their hearts. It was evident that they sensed an air of threat from Long Wu, as he was an existence on the same level as them.
And those Iron Blood Army behind Long Wu were absolutely the elite among elites. Just the firearms held by the Divine Spear Camp alone were capable of exterminating Celestial Realm powerhouses.
In other words, this was an undefeated battle force.
Of course, this army didn't pose a threat to Long Cangjue. The real threat to him was Long Wu's words. Long Cangjue didn't want tonight to end definitively for one reason alone: he knew of Long Xiaoyun's might. Even if poisoned, Long Cangjue had no chance to win, seemingly as Long Ling'Er had previously stated, he dared not gamble.
Yet his only son Long Ao lay dead in front of him, while Xiao Tianyu was unharmed. Without killing Xiao Tianyu, he couldn't swallow this anger.
Moreover, Long Ao was a son he was very proud of, whose future achievements in Martial Arts would surely surpass his own. But now, he's dead, and all his hopes are dashed.
Swoosh~
Suddenly, a wave of cold, murderous air erupted from Long Cangjue, directly targeting Xiao Tianyu, who stood there unmoved, his gaze calm as ever.
"Big brother!" At this moment, Long Hao tugged at Long Cangjue's sleeve and spoke: "Big brother, you can't. Why not wait until tomorrow? The old man from Miaojiang also said that tomorrow is Long Xiaoyun's final deadline. Once Long Xiaoyun's time comes to an end, it's not too late to kill Xiao Tianyu then!"
"What the third brother said is correct. Let Xiao Tianyu live one more night, what harm could it be? Tomorrow you can personally end his life. At that time, the entire Long Family will be under your control. Certainly, Long Ao's death saddens us greatly since we watched him grow up, but even so, we can't be reckless. Does big brother really want all efforts to be in vain?"
"..."
The Long Family brothers all advised him to hold back, and the aura from Long Cangjue gradually retracted, obviously agreeing with their words. After planning for so long, if things fail, it's definitely not what Long Cangjue wishes to see.
Unbeknownst to them, their brotherly advice indirectly saved Long Cangjue's life. Otherwise, if Long Cangjue had truly acted against Xiao Tianyu, he would likely be a dead man by now.
Of course, Xiao Tianyu wasn't reluctant to kill these people. He simply thought they should be left for Long Xiaoyun to handle personally. He was waiting here for the people from the four academies.
"Regarding today's matters, I, Long Cangjue, will not let it go. Tomorrow, I will demand an explanation from the Clan Leader!" Long Cangjue snorted coldly and then turned his gaze to Xiao Tianyu, coldly saying, "You're good. I hope the Clan Leader can protect you for life; otherwise, I will avenge my son's death!"
After speaking, Long Cangjue personally picked up Long Ao's corpse and left the Palace with a group of people.
Long Ling'Er and the others all knew that Long Cangjue wouldn't just let this go. They didn't act against Xiao Tianyu because they were held back by Long Wu's words.
However, as Long Xiaoyun said, as long as he's not dead, the Long Family is his realm. Long Cangjue dares not act recklessly.
Indeed, even with Long Ao killed, Long Cangjue still chooses restraint. Certainly, this is also the calm before the storm.
After Long Cangjue and others left, Long Ling'Er stepped up in front of Xiao Tianyu, her beautiful eyes glancing at him, "Brother Xiao, you're too bold. Luckily, I arrived in time, otherwise, you wouldn't even know how you died!"
Thinking back, Long Ling'Er still felt a bit scared. She hadn't expected Xiao Tianyu to dare to storm into Long Ao Palace alone, kill so many people, and even slay Long Ao.
Even though Long Ling'Er was surprised by Xiao Tianyu's strength to slay Celestial Realm powerhouses, but those few in Long Cangjue's group were Saint Heaven Level. If they made a move, could Xiao Tianyu survive?
Yet, in the next second, Xiao Tianyu glanced at Long Ling'Er: "If you didn't come, they would have been the ones to die!"
"..." Hearing this, Long Ling'Er was speechless, thinking, can't this guy go a day without bragging?
Plus, you claim to be so powerful; why didn't you just kill Long Cangjue earlier?
Geez, these days, is it easy to brag without even drafting?
Long Ling'Er truly hadn't thought that Xiao Tianyu would still have the audacity to boast big talks, saying they'd be the ones to die.
What Long Ling'Er wanted to say was, since you're so powerful, why not directly resolve the Long family's crisis? Do you really think you're the head honcho of Emperor Star Academy?
"Let's go back!"
At this moment, Long Wu cast a deep glance at Xiao Tianyu before leaving the site with the elite group.
Long Ling'Er's beautiful eyes flickered, continuing: "Brother Xiao, can we not brag in the future?"
"I didn't!" Xiao Tianyu shrugged.
"Alright, you win!" Long Ling'Er found herself utterly speechless at Xiao Tianyu's earnest demeanor; brag once or twice, isn't that enough? Can't you brag every day? It's not like no one knows each other.
Immediately, Long Ling'Er gave Xiao Tianyu an eye-roll, "Let's go!"
"Mm!" Xiao Tianyu nodded.
At this moment, Shangguan Biyue and Guan Zhongyuan approached Xiao Tianyu.
Shangguan Biyue patted Xiao Tianyu's shoulder, showing concern: "Are you alright?"
"How could anything happen to me?" Xiao Tianyu replied.
Hearing this, Shangguan Biyue had the urge to give Xiao Tianyu a kick, "You're fine, but if Long Ling'Er had been a step later, you'd have had a big problem!"
"Do you think that too?" Xiao Tianyu expressed a speechless look, wondering why these people always doubted him.
Then, Xiao Tianyu continued, "Actually, I'm from Emperor Star Academy..."
"I know!" Shangguan Biyue interrupted.
Xiao Tianyu's pupils widened greatly, "You know?"
"Of course!" Shangguan Biyue replied earnestly, "You are the Saint Child of Emperor Star Academy, aren't you?"
Thud~
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu's eyes darkened, almost spitting a mouthful of blood. This...is what she means by 'knowing'?
Xiao Tianyu just wanted to ask, am I the Saint Child? Who told you that? I'm the bona fide Executive Chairman, okay.
Seeing Xiao Tianyu's eyes almost spitting blood, Shangguan Biyue chuckled lightly, "Did I guess right?"
"Alright, let's say you guessed right!" Xiao Tianyu felt quite speechless.
Actually, Shangguan Biyue's words were not without basis, as in Huaxia, if three major Saint Heaven Realm experts went just to fetch her to Emperor Star Academy to practice, then Xiao Tianyu's status at Emperor Star Academy must be very formidable. Moreover, Xiao Tianyu is so young with such talent; besides him being the Saint Child, Shangguan Biyue really couldn't guess what other role Xiao Tianyu might have at Emperor Star Academy.
Thus, Shangguan Biyue always assumed Xiao Tianyu was the mysterious Saint Child of Emperor Star Academy.
Add the fact that the Saint Child of Emperor Star Academy is extremely mysterious, never seen by anyone, Shangguan Biyue was even more certain of her thoughts.
