Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Kill This Man For Me

"Master, that’s the Wang Family Master, Wang Luo. He’s a Realm King expert."

Long Ao nodded indifferently. Even with the Wang Family Master here in person, his expression remained just as apathetic.

The more Long Ao acted this way, the more mysterious and unfathomable he seemed, which even took Wang Luo by surprise.

’Is he this fearless because he has something to rely on?’

"Long Heng, will your Long Family interfere in this matter?"

Wang Luo wasn’t afraid of this man. No matter what, the man was from Kyushu, too far away for his influence to reach here. Besides, the Outer Sea Cloud Island was the Wang Family’s territory.

Before Long Heng could even speak, Long Ao said, "The Long Family will not interfere in this matter."

Long Ao understood the Long Family’s situation very well.

Three years ago, given Long Heng’s status in the family, the Long Family would have likely stepped in to resist the Wang Family. But now that Long Heng had fallen from a genius to a waste, there was a one hundred percent chance the Long Family would not act.

With a grateful glance at his master, Long Heng suddenly declared, "Regardless of whether the Long Family gets involved, I will stand with you, Master. We’ll face life and death together."

Ordinarily, such words from Long Heng would have drawn ridicule, but now, no one dared to laugh at him.

"What do you propose?"

"In three hours, a battle to the death on the plaza’s fighting ring."

"Fine."

Watching the two from the Wang Family leave, Long Heng spoke before Long Ao could even ask. "Master, the Wang Hao that Wang Luo just mentioned is the Wang Family’s true number one genius. At only thirty-four years old, he has already broken through to the Peak of Great Venerable. It’s said that he will definitely reach the Realm King Realm within a year."

If that was the case, Long Ao knew that this Wang Hao from the Wang Family truly possessed incredible talent.

The Peak of Great Venerable at only thirty-four years old... Never mind the Wang Family, even in the entire Celestial State, he would absolutely be considered a top-tier existence.

Worry was written all over Long Heng’s face. In his eyes, a Peak Great Venerable Martial Artist was already an unattainable existence.

’No matter how powerful Master is, I doubt he’s a World King Martial Artist.’

Sighing deeply, Long Heng said guiltily, "Master, this is all my fault. I dragged you into this. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have provoked Wang Yifei, you wouldn’t have provoked the Wang Family, and you certainly wouldn’t be facing a life-or-death battle with Wang Hao. Master, I’m sorry."

Seeing Long Heng’s guilty expression, Long Ao felt an extreme headache coming on. He said, "You don’t need to worry about the duel between me and Wang Hao. Tell me, what’s the story behind the Cyan Nether Sword?"

At the mention of the Cyan Nether Sword, Long Heng seemed a bit surprised as well. "Master, I never would have imagined that for this life-or-death duel, the Wang Family would offer up the Cyan Nether Sword."

Taking a deep breath, Long Heng explained, "Master, legend has it that the Wang Family’s old ancestor accidentally obtained a Divine Sword. Wielding it, he was unrivaled across the Outer Sea. However, he was eventually killed by a Divine Dao Martial Artist, and the Cyan Nether Sword became a Treasure passed down through the Wang Family for generations."

"Long Heng, do you want to obtain the Cyan Nether Sword?"

Nodding, Long Heng answered honestly, "I do."

Long Heng was no fool. Of course he knew what his master meant by asking. He wouldn’t even believe himself if he said he didn’t want it. After all, the legend of the Cyan Nether Sword was right there.

"Master, you’re injured."

"I have an Elixir that can temporarily suppress the injury."

Long Heng was very worried, but his master had already made his decision, so he couldn’t say much more. However, Long Heng had resolved that whether his master won or lost, he would stand by his side without hesitation and face life or death with him.

The moment the Wang Family left the restaurant, they immediately spread the news throughout all of Cloud Island.

The news that Long Heng’s master was to fight a life-or-death duel against the Wang Family’s number one genius, Wang Hao, on a public fighting ring spread instantly. Everyone who heard it was shocked, as no one believed someone could be so blind as to dare challenge the Wang Family’s top genius.

After all, Wang Hao, the Wang Family’s number one genius, was not only exceptionally talented but also incredibly powerful. He was acclaimed as the foremost expert of Cloud Island’s younger generation, and his Cultivation had reached the Peak of Great Venerable.

Everyone who got the news began to speculate on the identity of Long Heng’s master.

But when they remembered that Long Heng was a waste, they figured his master couldn’t be much better. As a result, the crowd seemed to lose much of its interest in the fight.

However, countless people still wanted to watch Wang Hao fight and flocked to the plaza. As for the Long Family...

When the Long Family Master, Long Bai, heard the news, his face instantly darkened. He summoned Long Ling and Long Fan and got straight to the point, "Have you met Long Heng’s master?"

Long Bai had a complicated love-hate relationship with his son. Three years ago, Long Heng had brought him immense glory, but for the past three years, his son had brought him nothing but shame. Even so, Long Bai had never given up on him, though all his efforts had ended in failure.

A year ago, Long Bai had intentionally distanced himself from his son. It wasn’t that he wanted to give up, but rather that he simply couldn’t face him.

"Uncle, this is what happened."

Long Ling immediately recounted everything that had happened, but he didn’t just embellish the story; he completely twisted right and wrong, painting Long Ao as a villain guilty of the most heinous crimes.

After listening, Long Bai’s expression grew even darker. He immediately sent for Long Qian’Er and asked, "Qian’Er, what is the origin of this Long Ao?"

Long Qian’Er had never seen her father like this and was startled. Not daring to hide a single detail, she told him everything that had happened at sea.

"A Sixth Level Long Family... It seems this person’s strength can’t be higher than an Earth Venerable. If that’s the case, why would he accept the Wang Family’s challenge? Strange, very strange."

Long Bai truly couldn’t figure it out. After all, he knew the details of the Sixth Level Long Family crystal clear. Under normal circumstances, a Sixth Level Long Family wouldn’t have an Earth Venerable, let alone a Venerable or a Supreme Venerable overseeing it.

’If I’m not mistaken, it seems this person isn’t from the Sixth Level Long Family after all. Who on earth could he be?’

Long Ao, Long Heng’s master, had accepted Wang Hao’s challenge. In just half an hour, the entire plaza was already a sea of people, everyone waiting anxiously. In truth, they were all waiting for Wang Hao; as for Long Ao, not a single person recognized him.

"Hao’Er, I want you to kill this man for me."

"I know, Father."

Wang Hao was dressed in flowing blue robes, his resolute face etched with the marks of a weathered life. It was common knowledge that Wang Hao, the Wang Family’s number one genius, was not only supremely talented but also extraordinarily diligent. He had spent years traveling and training, tempering himself through life-and-death struggles to gain his current strength.

It was for this very reason that everyone admired Wang Hao and wanted to see just how much the strength of this number one expert of Cloud Island had grown.

When Wang Hao arrived at the plaza, he immediately caused a wave of shrieks. Countless young women screamed, cheering for the idol of their hearts. Some even confessed their love on the spot. If their families hadn’t been holding them back, who knows what might have happened.

A charming woman isn’t scary; what’s scary is a charming man.

Just as everyone was shouting Wang Hao’s name, a figure approached from the distance. While others might not recognize Long Ao, they certainly recognized Cloud Island’s number one piece of trash, Long Heng.
