Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts Chapter 5382 Getting a Piece of Meat

Chapter 5382 Getting a Piece of Meat

The Fullmoon Gold Horn Rhinoceros and the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow shot through the sky, both building up their energy. It seemed a clash was bound to happen because disciples from both sides were glaring daggers at each other, spurred by the heated exchange between Liao Qingyu and Ye Lingkong.

While no one was paying attention, Long Chen slipped to the rear of the Fullmoon Gold Horn Rhinoceros. When Tang Wan-er and the others noticed him, Evilmoon slashed down in a flash of black light. The next moment, blood spurted as a chunk of flesh the size of a small mountain was cut from the rhino’s ma.s.sive right leg.

Because the Fullmoon Gold Horn Rhinoceros was too focused on its opponent, it didn’t sense Long Chen until it felt the sharp pain. It then let out a furious bellow as it jolted forward. Its reflex sent the flying boat soaring into the sky, and everyone on it was flung off.

The sight stunned everyone present—Ye Lingkong included, who hadn’t sensed Long Chen’s movement at all.

In truth, Long Chen had managed to appear behind the rhino only with the Earth Cauldron’s a.s.sistance. Upon spotting the Fullmoon Gold Horn Rhinoceros, he suddenly recalled the unforgettable flavor of the beef soup he’d once had, courtesy of Long Ziwei[1]

Eyeing the rhino’s plump hind leg, he felt the overwhelming urge to take a piece. When he asked the Earth Cauldron for help, he’d half-expected it to scold him for being crazy, but to his surprise, it agreed and asked him to gather some essence blood for refining pills.

It appeared that the Earth Cauldron had its own interest in the Fullmoon Gold Horn Rhinoceros. Long Chen wasn’t sure if the Earth Cauldron also had eyes on the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow but was restrained from acting against it due to being on the same side. However, Long Chen couldn’t care less—it was time to get some “meat.”

So, while everyone’s attention was elsewhere, the Earth Cauldron transported Long Chen directly behind the Fullmoon Gold Horn Rhinoceros. Long Chen carefully suppressed his aura until the very moment of attack, when his starry sea’s power erupted. His saber then struck without warning, slicing off a ma.s.sive chunk of flesh.

Blood from the half-step Demon Emperor sprayed into the air, shocking everyone around. Liao Qingyu’s face contorted with fury when she saw Long Chen.

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, so it was you! Die!” she shrieked, recognizing him instantly as the thief of the Soaring Dragon Company’s treasury.

After all, Long Chen was on their wanted list. Her sharp claws tore through the air with deadly intent, sending a s.h.i.+ver down Long Chen’s spine. It wasn’t something he could block head-on. However, Long Chen didn’t flinch. He simply reached out and grabbed the chunk of meat along with the essence blood.

BOOM!

Ye Lingkong flicked his finger, shattering Liao Qingyu’s claws with a gust of wind. The impact shook the ugly shrew, showing the difference in power. After all, this was her full-force attack against his casual gesture.

Calmly, Long Chen returned to the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow’s back, knowing that Ye Lingkong would block Liao Qingyu’s strike.

Furious, the Fullmoon Gold Horn Rhinoceros glowed with rage, and its killing intent filled the air. But the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow had been ready for a fight from the start, and its wings now spread, bursting with a seven-colored radiance as its n.o.ble bloodline power erupted.

“Control your rhino, or it’ll end up as lunch,” Ye Lingkong said flatly to Liao Qingyu.

“Gold Horn, stop!” Liao Qingyu ordered, knowing her beast was no match for the Qilin Horn Heaven Swallowing Sparrow.

She also knew that she couldn’t beat Ye Lingkong. While her mouth was sharp, she would definitely be at a disadvantage if they were to fight. However, that didn’t hinder her from snapping angrily at Ye Lingkong. “Ye Lingkong, what do you think you’re doing?! How dare you harbor a wanted criminal of the Soaring Dragon Company?!”

“Wanted criminal? Are you talking about him? No, he is a new disciple of the Wind G.o.d Sea Pavilion. His name is Long Chen, and he’s not a wanted criminal, so you’ve got the wrong person,” replied Ye Lingkong.

“Bulls.h.i.+t! He stole the Soaring Dragon Company’s treasury! Countless people saw it! Do you think you can refuse to admit it?!” roared Liao Qingyu.

Xiao Yue and the other Hidden Dragon warriors exchanged glances, now realizing that the treasury Long Chen had given them came from the Soaring Dragon Company.

“Slander! How dare you accuse me of such lies!” shouted Long Chen in righteous indignation.

“So you refuse to admit it?!” demanded Liao Qingyu.

Long Chen put his hands on his waist, righteously saying, “What kind of person do you think I, Long Chen, am? Am I the type of person to refuse to admit to my deeds? You say that I stole your Soaring Dragon Company’s treasury? You’re wrong—I clearly and honorably took it from you!”

Long Chen’s retort was filled with indignation and outrage, causing Tang Wan-er to almost burst into laughter. His buffoon character was reappearing.

Seeing Liao Qingyu quivering and ashen with rage, Tang Wan-er cheered inside. When it came to p.i.s.sing people off, if Long Chen claimed to be number two, no one would dare to say that they were number one.

Xiao Yue and the others also saw Liao Qingyu fuming—steam practically bursting out of her ears. They almost cheered out loud for Long Chen.

Liao Qingyu was so enraged she didn’t even know how to reply. She turned to Ye Lingkong. “Your Wind G.o.d Sea Pavilion is set on harboring a wanted criminal?”

Ye Lingkong simply shook his head. “Our Wind G.o.d Sea Pavilion never harbors any wanted criminals. As I said, you have the wrong person.”

“Fine! Don’t regret it!” she spat before storming off with the Fullmoon Gold Horn Rhinoceros.

As they departed, a burly man turned to Long Chen and the others, his powerful aura crackling as he warned, “You dare provoke the Soaring Dragon Company? I’ll take your head on the Wind Domain Battlefield.

This man’s aura was powerful, and his gaze was electric—a sign of a powerful expert.

Unfazed, Long Chen replied, “A little servant like you should keep quiet. You’re not even qualified to speak here.”

“You...!”

Long Chen's words. .h.i.t right where it hurt. Being called “servants” was especially insulting to the Divine March Gate, as their “alliance” with the Soaring Dragon Company often drew such ridicule.

“Go!” Liao Qingyu gritted her teeth and ordered her people to withdraw. Fighting here would only put them at a disadvantage. Their grudges would have to be settled on the Wind Domain Battlefield.

“Hahaha, before the big battle, I’ll treat you to some good beef—cough, rhino meat!” shouted Long Chen.

Liao Qingyu and the others hadn’t gone far before they heard Long Chen’s voice from behind. When they turned back to look, Long Chen pumped his fist in victory, driving them mad with anger.

“Just you wait!” Liao Qingyu gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to break. She quickened the pace, leaving before they really died of anger.
