NINE STAR HEGEMON BODY ARTS

Chapter 5797 Must Kill

Long Chen’s words resounded throughout the plaza, and deathly silence greeted him. 

Everyone was staring at him in shock, including the Luo family’s people.

The Luo family had shouted about wiping out the Bi family, but deep down, everyone knew it was impossible. The race leader would never allow it.

In the end, they would have to return to the negotiation table and probably go through the same old political maneuver—the Bi family would pay some kind of price, and the conflict would be swept under the rug.

While the Bi family had started everything, Long Chen had led Luo Yanfeng and the others into the Bi family’s territory and massacred them. From a political standpoint, the Luo family no longer held the moral high ground.

For most experts here, the best possible outcome was for both sides to let things go. After all, the Bi family had already suffered massive losses—millions of their disciples had perished, and even a mid-stage Divine Emperor had been killed.

By contrast, the Luo family had barely lost any disciples in this battle. Luo Yanfeng’s group were all elites, while their opponents had been second- and third-rate disciples at best.

The Bi family’s peak experts were terrified of them. They had only dared to attack because they vastly outnumbered Luo Yanfeng’s group. But in the end, they merely sent themselves to their deaths.

Once the rest of the Luo family’s disciples joined the fray, the battle turned into a complete massacre. The Bi family suffered a hundred casualties just to take down one or two disciples of the Luo family. It was a devastating and one-sided bloodbath.

For the Luo family’s younger generation, their fury was genuine. After all, they had lost too much to the Bi family. However, for their seniors, their outrage was only half sincere. They understood the reality of politics—no matter how intense the battle, it would inevitably end at the negotiation table. The real question was how much they could get out of these negotiations.

If the race leader chose to overlook their assault on the Bi family, it would already be a massive concession in their favor.

But when Long Chen spoke, his demand left the Luo family’s higher-ups stunned. He wasn’t interested in negotiations.

“What a joke! So many of our Bi family’s people died because of you, and you dare to make such an outrageous demand?! You brute!” A Bi family Elder bellowed, his voice filled with rage.

Before he could say another word, Luo Zichuan raised a single finger. A violet bolt of light shot forward, piercing through the Elder’s forehead. His body stiffened for a brief moment before collapsing lifelessly to the ground.

The Shadow Guard’s expression twitched. Even in his presence, Luo Zichuan had the audacity to kill a Bi family Elder. It was a blatant show of contempt toward him.

On the Shadow Guard’s transparent face, a pair of fiery eyes slowly emerged. Ripples of power radiated from his gaze, which carried an overwhelming pressure that bore down on Luo Zichuan.

Luo Zichuan gripped his saber tightly with both hands. His violet blood ignited, flames surging from his body as he prepared to fight to the death.

Long Chen had stepped into this storm because Luo Zichuan had called for his help. So, no matter what kind of catastrophe Long Chen caused, Luo Zichuan would stand by his side. Even if it led to complete annihilation, he would not waver.

Seeing the Shadow Guard about to explode, the race leader sighed, “Long Chen, you’re making it hard on me!”

With a cold tone, Long Chen replied, “You don’t need to feel that way. Today, I am telling everyone in the violet blood race—not all grudges can be settled on the negotiation table. Every life has value. We are not bargaining chips to be traded away at someone else’s convenience. Today, I will carve out the rot that festers within the violet blood race. The pain will be severe, but it is necessary.”

The race leader’s expression darkened. Long Chen’s stance was absolute, and he had no intention of compromising.

“A blood debt must be paid with blood! Today, the Bi family will answer for their crimes in blood!” Long Chen shouted, his voice icy and unyielding.

“Big words! And what if we refuse?!” the Shadow Guard roared.

“Are you deaf? Does it sound like I’m negotiating?” Long Chen’s gaze was razor-sharp. “This is not a request. If the race leader refuses, I’ll kill them all myself.”

“Hahaha!” The Shadow Guard let out a furious laugh. “Then I’d like to see what kind of trump card gives you the arrogance to—”

BOOM!

Before he could finish, Long Chen waved his hand, and the void detonated. The nine heavens split apart, as if the very fabric of the world was unraveling. From it, a bronze cauldron emerged, its presence tearing through space itself. The ten thousand Daos crumbled before it, and the heavens and earth trembled at its arrival.

The Battle God Drum, which had been locking down the battlefield, let out a deep, resonating boom before it was sent flying. Compared to this cauldron, it was nothing more than a frightened beast. It shuddered uncontrollably, its divine aura collapsing in submission.

“Come, keep laughing,” taunted Long Chen.

The Shadow Guard’s laughter died instantly, and his eyes widened in pure shock.

Under the crushing pressure of the Earth Cauldron, the Shadow Guard’s transparent form was forcibly revealed. He was an elder covered in shimmering scales. 

The Earth Cauldron’s divine might spread through heaven and earth, pressing down on all creation. Even the race leader and the Shadow Guard felt like ants before it.

“That is…” The Shadow Guard’s voice trembled. He recognized it.

The race leader was equally stunned. The Shadow Guard had previously warned that Long Chen carried an unfathomable treasure, something that had blocked his spiritual probing. But the race leader had never imagined it would be this—one of the legendary primal chaos divine items, the Earth Cauldron.

Even though the race leader had never seen it in person, the ancient records contained detailed information of it. And if there was any doubt, the Battle God Drum’s terror erased it. Only such existence could terrify it so much.

Long Chen declared, “Now, do you still think I’m joking? I told you—I don’t care about your opinion. Either you deal with them, or I do it myself. Every last person who participated in the attack on the Luo family must die. Even a Sovereign can’t stop me from killing someone I’ve marked for death.”

The Shadow Guard stood frozen, his mind blank. He had no argument, no retort. 

Luo Zichuan also stared at the Earth Cauldron in astonishment. One of the legendary ten great primal chaos divine items was actually in the hands of his grandson.

As for the Luo family’s disciples, they could only stare in awe. To them, Long Chen had transcended mortal limits. He was no longer just a warrior—he was a god among men.

Luo Yanfeng and the others felt the same. But amid that admiration was an unexpected sense of loneliness.

At this moment, it felt like they had been left behind.

Long Chen had stepped into a realm beyond their reach. The gap between them was no longer just strength—it was an entirely different world. Even speaking to him suddenly felt like an offense, an act of blasphemy.

Just then, the race leader sighed deeply, his voice carrying a weight of helplessness.

“…Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Bi Yingxiong and the others’ faces instantly turned deathly pale.
