Chapter 683

== 'Gale Inferno Steps' ==
"Idiot, I'm using the Gale Inferno Steps. Are you blind? Do you not see the flames beneath my feet?" sneered Long Chen.
But Long Chen was startled inside. Just now, he truly had used the Netherworld Ghost Steps. It was an extremely peculiar technique, and he couldn't tell whether it was a Battle Skill or a magical art.
As his strength increased, the speed of the Netherworld Ghost Steps also increased. He truly could move like a phantom, making it so people couldn't even defend. When it came to close-range attacks, it was truly a great assistance.
But Long Chen was smart. When he had used it, he had summoned some flames on his feet. Then it would seem very similar to the Gale Inferno Steps, a technique of the Pill Tower.
Despite doing this, it had still been recognized by the Corrupt Celestial. But all Long Chen had to do was refuse to admit it, and he wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
A faint cyan fluctuation appeared on the scholarly Celestial's forehead. A powerful spiritual spike slowly condensed over Long Chen's forehead and began to drop down toward the Celestial's head.
== Soul Heartask Thorn Art ==
"Right now, in front of everyone, I will use Soul Heartask Thorn Art. In front of my spiritual thorn, you don't have the ability to lie. Because if you do, my spiritual thorn will sense it from your spiritual fluctuations and immediately stab into your soul, turning you into a corpse. Of course, if you think your soul is stronger than a Pill Emperor's, you can try lying."
The spiritual thorn arrived just above the Celestial's forehead. He immediately felt like his soul was almost frozen.
In this situation, he had to reply to whatever Long Chen asked him. Any lie would release a fluctuation that would be sensed by the spiritual thorn. Even Long Chen wouldn't be able to stop the thorn from killing him. So right now, his life and death were up to himself.
Icily staring at the Celestial, he asked, "Did you go to the Fang Manor yesterday?"
The Celestial was sweating, but in the end, he couldn't muster the courage to lie. He nodded.
"Did you go to capture a woman? Was the one who told you to do that Huo Wufang-"
== Poison ==
Suddenly, a black light shot toward Long Chen's head. It was incredibly fast, and even Long Chen was shocked by it. He hastily dodged, flinging the Celestial in his hand toward it.
The black light pierced straight through the Celestial's body, leaving a black hole.
The curious thing was that no blood came out. That hole was black as coal. Long Chen's expression changed, and he hastily tossed the Celestial into the air.
Everyone was appalled to see that the Celestial had already died. The hole was rapidly growing. Before his body landed on the ground, he had been corroded to nothing.
The air was filled with a disgusting stench now, one that made people want to vomit. Everyone's expressions changed and they hastily retreated.
The Corrupt path was truly vicious. It was unknown what that black light had been, but it had been able to one-shot a Celestial.
Long Chen was shocked. That black light was too strange that even he didn't know what it was. All he knew was that it had come from an extremely strange-looking man standing beside Huo Wufang.
That person's eyes were white and black. The black one was completely black, and the white one was completely white. It was extremely frightening.
"Enchanted weapon." 
Long Chen suddenly began to clap, breaking the silence. "Not bad, very beautiful. What a good way of silencing someone. Not only did you silence the witness, but you even cut down a future enemy. You even have won a favor from Huo Wufang! Amazing, truly amazing!"
The Righteous Celestials by Huo Wufang's side all looked suspiciously at the attacker.
"Idiot, I, Wu Ming, would disdain doing such a thing. Do you think I'm as stupid as the Righteous path?" sneered the odd-looking Corrupt Celestial.
This infuriates the Righteous Path disciples.
LC then beats back Huo Wufang by smashing his fist into the road.
Fang Mingyuan, Chai Gaoyang and reinforcements also arrive. Dozens of Sea Expansion experts also appeared.
But Huo Changsheng also arrives with Sea Expansion experts.
But before all out battle breaks out, a shout rang out:
"Everyone stop!"
Long Chen smiled. He had known he would come.
