This time Long Tian was keeping an eye on them. He swiftly told Long Chen what was happening.
”He is coming to you. I think you should’ve responded to him!” Long Tian said. From the beginning, he was telling Long Chen to respond to that person and not let things escalate, but Long Chen wasn’t listening.
Long Chen closed his pitch black eyes, only focusing on the footsteps as he tried to calm himself, but he felt as if he had had enough insult. His fist was already clinched.
The Royal reached Long Chen and slowly raised his hand. “You have some real attitude problem!”
Xun also stopped talking and focused on Long Chen. She didn’t have a good feeling about this. Many people thought Long Chen was going to get beaten badly.
The Royal was just about to grab Long Chen by the neck. The other Royals looked with amusement. Only the Seventh Royal was sitting calmly, not even bothering to look back as he kept drinking. He wasn’t interested in such games.
”Hah!”
”What?!”
”Did he just….?”
Gasps filled the entire bar, followed by a pin drop silence. This sudden silence was odd, but there was only one person who didn’t care. It was the Seventh Royal. He thought that the silence was only because Long Chen was killed, which shocked the people in the bar. He didn’t bother about that. He lazily kept drinking.
If only he had raised his glance and noticed the expressions of his friends, he would’ve noticed that it was something different.
The silence was broken by a thud as a head dropped on the ground, followed by a body. The headless body that fell belonged to none other than the Fifth Royal, who didn’t even notice his Long Chen did it. All he knew was that he saw a flash of a blade as he was about to touch Long Chen, and the next thing he knew was that everything turned dark.
He had never expected Long Chen to attack him back, and that too, so swiftly.
Long Chen held the King’s sword in his hand. His cloak had fallen by now, revealing his human body. The blood dripped from the blood-covered sword.
As the figure of Long Chen was revealed, the people in the bar finally understood how he was strong enough to kill a Royal! He was a Royal himself! Only the real Royals knew that this guy wasn’t one of them.
If he wasn’t one of them, then who was he? Someone from the outside world?! Someone managed to break in?! Those pitch-black eyes couldn’t belong to a Royal White Tiger!
Bloodlust and arrogance were already visible in Long Chen’s dark eyes as he observed the men in his surroundings. Observing the scared expressions of everyone, he got a satisfaction that he hadn’t received in a long time. So what if he couldn’t use his Laws?! He could still use his strength that he already had.
He knew he needed to reserve his Qi since that was scarce in this place, but even then, he wasn’t going to back off now that he had started. He didn’t go looking for violence, but if violence came looking for him, he wasn’t going to avoid it!
”Xun, get up.” He commanded Xun.
Xun wanted to say something to stop Long Chen, but she didn’t know what she could say. She stood up. Long Chen grabbed her chair with his other hand and started stepping toward the table of the Royals. The other Royals stood up, watching him get close.
Long Chen didn’t even glance at them. His focus was on the seventh man instead, who was still seated.
”You wanted a seat. Here, let me give you some.” Long Chen swung the chair with full strength.
The Seventh Royal heard the voice coming from his back. He turned around only to see a chair coming towards him. The chair smacked on his face and shattered to pieces. Despite hitting him, the man didn’t fall. He didn’t even make a noise as if he was made of stone.
He observed Long Chen from top to bottom and noticed the body behind him, which brought a frown to his face.
The man who had been silent until now opened his mouth. “You aren’t one of us. Those eyes of yours… I’ve read about them. You’re a demon?”
”Doesn’t matter. You killed a Royal. Even if you’re a demon, we won’t go easy on you. For a Demon to appear in the city where His Majesty is staying, you must be planning to hurt him. As the leader of the Royal Guards of His Majesty, a command you to surrender and tell us how many more of you are here and how did you manage to get in without alerting anyone”
The Seventh Royal seemed like an ordinary member of the team, but he was the strongest member and also the leader of the squad, which was for the protection of the White Tiger King!
It was already very insulting that a member of their squad was Killed. Just for that, he would’ve killed Long Chen. The only reason he hadn’t attacked Long Chen was because he was sure that there wasn’t just one Demon in this town. If they found a way to enter without alerting others and came to hurt the King, there was no way he was going to come alone!
The Seventh Royal needed an answer, and only Long Chen could provide it.
”The King is here as well?” Long Chen frowned. Things just became more complicated. He thought he was just going to deal with some guards, but if the King was here, he was in trouble since he couldn’t teleport to escape. If news of him being here spread out in the town, it was going to take a few seconds for the White Tiger King to come here. Long Chen couldn’t let that happen.
”Thank you for telling me. Now I’ll be careful in dealing with you,” he responded as he swung his sword once again. Unfortunately, this time his surprise attack didn’t work as the Seventh Royal blocked the sword of Long Chen with his bare hands, catching the blade.
”This toy is good, but it can’t always come in handy,” the Seventh Royal reminded Long Chen before he kicked his chest, making Long Chen fly back.
Long Chen controlled his body mid-way and landed on the ground, noticing his sword was now in the hands of the Royal.
