Just as Long Chen was about to start plucking, the green parrot’s eyes changed, revealing six strange spots—three white and three black. In an instant, Long Chen was hit by a wave of dizziness, as if his soul was being drawn out of his body and pulled toward those eyes.
Suddenly, black spots appeared in Long Chen’s own eyes. The Purgatory Eyes activated automatically, and both he and the parrot screamed in pain.
Long Chen threw the parrot aside, clutching his eyes. It felt like sandpaper had been scraped across them, and tears streamed down his face. The parrot was also squawking, covering its eyes with its wings. Anyone hearing the racket might think that the two were long-lost friends reunited and crying with joy.
After a while, the pain subsided. Long Chen and the green parrot glared at each other, both with red, watery eyes. But now, after probing each other’s abilities, both were far more cautious.
“Brat, who are you?!” the green parrot screeched, its feathers puffing up in defense.
“I’m your Lord Long San!” Long Chen snapped back, summoning Evilmoon into his hand. He was no longer underestimating the parrot and even started to doubt the Earth Cauldron’s advice—how could it say this fearsome creature was only good at scaring people?
The parrot’s pupils shrank slightly after seeing Evilmoon. Its feathers bristled.
“You call yourself Lord Sixth? Well, I’m Boss Long San. Bring out your true body, and let’s settle this once and for all!” shouted Long Chen.
He was nursing a belly of fire after having been beaten by the Silver Hair Void Crusher. Hence, when he saw a formidable opponent in front of him, his fighting spirit flared.
Seeing Long Chen enter a combat state, the green parrot seemed to panic. After a while, it calmly said, “Don’t bother. You’re no match for me. I’ve lived countless years, and if I were to fight you seriously, it would be considered bullying. My reputation as Lord Sixth would be tarnished.”
Looking at the parrot coldly, Long Chen mocked, “Don’t tell me you’ve gotten old and can’t even ignite those runes of yours. You probably can’t even fight anymore.”
Long Chen had seen the six runes materialize on the parrot’s body, and they radiated an aura so terrifying that it rivaled the Silver Hair Void Crusher’s throne.
At that moment, Long Chen wasn’t in his combat state and had come perilously close to being crushed. That was what triggered his desire to fight. He wanted to fight the green parrot to see how much he had grown.
“Shut the hell up! You’re the old one! Your whole family is old! You little brat, if I don’t teach you a lesson, you really won’t understand just who Lord Sixth is!” The green parrot spread its wings wide.
Suddenly, a green divine radiance flooded the sky, and an enormous figure emerged, overshadowing the heavens. Powerful divine energy reverberated through the world.
This figure was that of an enormous Kunpeng surrounded by primal chaos qi. The barrier of death covering this place instantly shattered as if the world could not contain it.
Long Chen’s expression changed. This parrot’s aura was even more terrifying than the Silver Hair Void Crusher’s. He had really kicked an iron board this time.
“Don’t be scared,” the Earth Cauldron spoke up. “This thing is just bluffing with its aura. It’s nothing more than a paper tiger. Go ahead and attack!”
Long Chen gritted his teeth and chose to believe in the Earth Cauldron. After all, it had already recognized him as its master. Against the Silver Hair Void Crusher, it had even given up its chance to run, just to fight to the bitter end with him.
“Fine, let’s decide everything in one attack! Eight Star Battle Armor!” Long Chen shouted.
As his divine ring and Eight Star Battle Armor appeared, stars covered the sky. Long Chen immediately entered his strongest combat state.
“Nine star heir?” the parrot squawked, shocked. “No... how’s your Blood Qi so strange for a nine star heir.”
“Is that any of your business? Come on, let’s fight!” Long Chen raised Evilmoon, ready for battle.
“Hey, don’t be rash. Since you’re a nine star heir, I won’t bully you. After all, I have a slight history with the nine star line,” the green parrot quickly backpedaled, retracting its Kunpeng manifestation. Its eyes darted around nervously, though it tried to sound dignified.
However, just who was Long Chen? He instantly saw through the parrot’s act. With the Earth Cauldron’s reminder on top of it, Long Chen believed that this fellow was really just a paper tiger.
“You think I’m going to believe a word out of your beak? You insulted me and injured me, and now you want to talk peace? Boss Long San has never been humiliated like this before. You’re going to pay for it today,” Long Chen declared coldly.
Long Chen was determined to find out the parrot’s true origins. Based on how the Earth Cauldron spoke of it, this parrot must have an extraordinary background. But clearly, it wasn’t trustworthy. Now that Long Chen had grasped its weakness, he naturally wouldn’t let it go.
“You little brat, don’t look down on me! Lord Sixth isn’t afraid of you! If you really piss me off, you won’t survive!” the parrot squawked, furious.
“Fine, then show me what you’ve got!”
Black energy surged from Evilmoon, filling the air with a sinister aura.
“Stop, stop! I’m not going to argue with a little baby. Due to my history with the nine star line, you can treat it as me being afraid of you,” said the green parrot, lifting its wings in a placating gesture.
The parrot continued, “There are six Silver Wing Heaven Devil corpses here. The Heaven Devil set up some formations to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. Using life qi to destroy the death qi, they tried to awaken these corpses. I’ve been standing guard over here for countless years, so for you to come here today, it can be said that we have destiny. Let’s split these corpses equally and call it a day!”
Only then did Long Chen notice that after the barrier shattered, the black qi was slowly receding, revealing the corpses of Silver Wing Heaven Devils. However, the number wasn’t quite right. There were thirteen—not six.
Before Long Chen could reply, the Earth Cauldron chimed in, “Find a way to trick it into revealing its control technique."
