Chapter 21: 21 Magic Snake Rope
An old man about 60 years of age bowed to the king, then said, "He must be bound with this Magic Snake Rope, Your Majesty."
"Can that rope bind him?" the king asked. He was still somewhat doubtful whether the bonds imposed by his officers could subdue Chen Long, as he had witnessed Chen Long's power, which was even capable of defeating and killing Monk Anbu.
"Even those above the Realm of Soul Power, namely cultivators who have reached the Realm of Foundation Building, would be powerless against this Magic Snake Rope," the old man assured the king.
Hearing this, the king smiled contentedly. He immediately asked the old man, who turned out to be one of the heroes in his government, to bind Chen Long.
Once Chen Long had been successfully bound by the Magic Snake Rope, which was said to be extremely powerful, the general who had been threatening Chen Hoklong's life finally released his sword from Chen Hoklong's neck.
The commander felt he had done a great service to the king, so he puffed out his chest and said to the king, "Your Majesty, allow me to immediately examine the body of this boy named Chen Long to find out what treasure has made him suddenly so strong."
The king nodded and allowed his commander to examine Chen Long's body.
The commander left Chen Hoklong under the supervision of several of his officers. Then he immediately approached Chen Long, who was bound by the Magic Snake Rope.
At that moment, a loud noise was heard, followed by the sound of growling and the cries of pain from several people.
A tall, muscular young man, approximately 211 centimetres tall, suddenly went berserk around Chen Hoklong, striking and punching the officers surrounding Chen Hoklong.
"Brother Chen, go! Let me handle them!" the tall, muscular young man said.
Chen Hoklong stood up. He then looked towards his younger brother on the other side. "I cannot leave my younger brother."
At that moment, Chen Long laughed and said, "Brother, since you are free, I will also free myself."
Hearing Chen Long's words, everyone became alert, including the Commander who was approaching Chen Long's position.
The old man who had bound Chen Long with the Magic Snake Rope laughed heartily. "You're just bluffing, aren't you? Naughty child, you won't be able to break free from the bonds of the Magic Snake Rope. Anyone below the Foundation Building Realm will be powerless against my Magic Snake Rope!" the old man said proudly.
Chen Long nodded his head. "You're right. Your words are true. Anyone below the Foundation Building Realm cannot break free from these bonds. But unfortunately, I must say now that I am the only person below the Foundation Building Realm who can remove this object from my body."
"Foolish child, don't just talk! Prove that you can do it!" said the commander who had been holding Chen Hoklong back.
Therefore, after briefly stopping his steps, he now slowly walked towards Chen Long.
Chen Long noticed that his older brother, Chen Hoklong, had already obtained a very powerful protector across the way, so he appeared to be more at ease.
Chen Long looked at the elderly owner of the Magic Snake Rope and said, "You must think that this Magic Snake Rope is only useful for binding people. Right?"
The old man nodded. "Yes. Since my grandfather had this item, its only use has been that."
Chen Long burst into laughter, and then his still-bound hands began to form Taoist characters. He said, "The use of this item isn't just that, you fool! Besides being able to bind cultivators into helplessness, this object can also become a highly dangerous flying weapon."
As soon as Chen Long finished speaking, suddenly his hands, which had been bound behind his back by chains and the Magic Snake Rope, were now fully open, and the Magic Snake Rope was already in his hands.
The commander immediately stopped in his tracks upon seeing this development.
"Look at another use of this snake!" Chen Long said as he threw the Magic Snake Rope in his hand at the commander, who had stopped in his tracks upon seeing Chen Long successfully free himself from the Magic Snake Rope.
The Magic Snake Rope thrown by Chen Long seemed to have eyes. It immediately slithered toward the commander's neck.
The commander tried to swat the Magic Snake Rope away, but it quickly slipped past his wrist and continued toward his neck.
After that, a heart-wrenching snoring sound was heard as the Magic Snake Rope swiftly choked the commander's neck.
In just a few seconds, the mighty commander, with his muscular body and height of 190 cm, had his neck severed by the Magic Snake Rope.
The commander's massive body fell heavily to the ground behind him. His life had ended as his head rolled onto the ground.
After that, the snake quickly moved on to other targets. It swiftly attacked the officers one by one, causing their necks to snap and their bodies to fall to the ground.
Almost simultaneously with the Magic Snake Rope's attack, Chen Long also moved. He carried out one killing after another while shouting, "ANYONE WHO NO LONGER WANTS TO BE UNDER THE CONTROL OF THIS ROTTEN EMPEROR, THEN QUICKLY JOIN MY SIDE. THOSE WHO STILL STAND WITH THE KING WILL BE KILLED!"
The arrival of the ceremonial minister with his tale of Chen Long's greatness in replacing the dynasty in the King's City caused the soldiers to reconsider which side they would follow for their future.
"LONG LIVE MINISTER CHEN! LONG LIVE MINISTER CHEN!"
Eventually, a third of the soldiers began to move to side with Minister Chen, who had become king in the city.
Ah Man, the man who had helped Chen Hoklong earlier, also went on a rampage with his fists, which could shatter the sharp weapons of his opponents.
Seeing the situation worsening, some of the king's loyal followers, including the old man who owned the Magic Snake Rope, began to retreat with the king.
Chen Long allowed them to retreat a few steps while continuing to try to improve the situation with the troops loyal to him.
When he saw that the number of soldiers loyal to him had grown significantly, as many of the king's soldiers had been killed, he moved towards the king and his retreating entourage.
Chen Long raised his hand, and immediately the Magic Snake Rope came closer to him. Then Chen Long looked at the old man who owned the Magic Snake Rope. "You haven't seen the other uses of this Magic Snake Rope. Right?"
While retreating, the old man had been continuously forming the character "Tao" with his fingers, hoping the Magic Snake Rope would return to him. But it didn't work.
The old man was terrified. This was the greatest fear he had ever felt in his life. "I don't want to! I don't want to see its use again! Please!"
Chen Long's face became terrifying. "But I must force you to see the use of this object of yours. So you won't be curious before going to the other world." After saying that, Chen Long launched the Magic Snake Rope.
