Chapter 234: Killing
Once they left the restaurant, Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang returned to the Lingwu family. He didnt want to return to the Eastern Azure Dragon quarters, so he followed Mo Xiaolang back to the Silver family. Other than when they were cultivating, they never left each others side.
Mo Xiaolang was very experienced in cultivation and real battle, so he was a great person to learn from. That was why Long Chen spoke to him often during his stay with the Silver family. They discussed the flaws in his cultivation, and his practical experience increased.
Long Chen mainly focused on studying the Azure Dragon Combat Technique. It was an Earth-tier combat technique that was difficult to master. Even with his talent, he was forced to put in effort to slowly learn the technique. While the text was easy to understand, it was not easy to truly wield it effortlessly.
So far, when they sparred in their peak forms, Long Chen was no match for Mo Xiaolang, though he was close. Based on Mo Xiaolangs estimations, Long Chen was currently more powerful than people such as Beitang Mo, even though they had Earth-tier Divine Weapons.
The Dragon Soul Transformation and the Azure Dragon Halberd both offered the greatest boosts to his strength.
During this time, Mo Xiaolang had been long puzzled over Long Chens Beast Soul Transformation.
Long Chens Beast Soul Transformation was clearly the Underground Blood Lizard, which was the same as what he used when he was at the Draconic Realm. How could a Category Five Yellow-tier demonic beast boost Long Chens strength by ten times? Mo Xiaolang wouldnt believe any explanations, but he knew that this was the largest secret that Long Chen held. My Moon Devouring Wolf transformation only boosts my original Qi by two times. Even the Peak Essence Beast offers a boost of five times, yet Big Brother is only using a Yellow-tier beast? How is he so terrifyingly strong, then? Mo Xiaolang kept wondering about this.
He didnt know that Dragon Warriors existed, nor that it was normal for the Primordial Dragons Inherited Blood Essence to boost Long Chens Qi by ten times.
In fact, when he absorbed the rest of the essence, he would gain even more peculiar powers, ones even more powerful than the Blood Transmutation.
Although Mo Xiaolang was puzzled, he didnt ask. It was best not to talk about secrets that were related to ones life and death.
Long Chen knew that while he and Mo Xiaolang were getting close, it was still not the time to reveal his trump card.
All the previous drama had come to an end. Other than the approaching fight at the ancient ruins, there were no other events on the horizon. When he was not cultivating, Long Chens favorite thing to do was to have fun in Yuanling City with Mo Xiaolang, doing things like pulling pranks on unscrupulous businessmen, teasing housewives, and more. Sometimes, if Mo Xiaolang couldnt come out, hed go alone. How nice itd be if Ling Xi was with me. Long Chens heart sank whenever he felt the emptiness in his ear.
To be honest, he was still very worried about the girl who had accompanied him for half a year. If he was alone and not cultivating, he would become miserable with longing and self-blame. That was why he had to take walks outside. Plus, he was testing the pulse of Yuanling City.
There was going to be a huge event in the city, which was the fight for the right to rule. The youths of Yuanling City had become much more famous, attracting a lot of attention. People also gradually got to know Long Chens name.
In fact, those who had excellent information channels even developed a Potential Ranking Board based on the prodigies capabilities.
The Potential Ranking Board was a ranking of Yuanling Citys young prodigies. It also represented the opinions of the outside world towards the three major factions younger generation.
Three people topped the Potential Ranking Board, all of them being late Heavenly Core Realm cultivators. In third place was a girl named Li Ziling from the Dawn Trading Alliance, but Long Chen didnt read much about her. Second was Mo Xiaolang, who had the Heavenly Wolf Dagger. In first place was Yan Danqing of the Beast Soul Palace. Yan Danqing possessed the Category Nine Black-tier Peak Essence Beast soul. The public opined that he was stronger than the disappeared-and-reappeared Mo Xiaolang.
Long Chen was ranked tenth, just on top of Dongfang Tianxuan.
Beating Dongfang Tianxuan was his most glorious achievement so far. As the only initial Heavenly Core Realm cultivator in the top ten, he also attracted a lot of attention. And because he had a good relationship with Mo Xiaolang, this boosted the publics confidence in him.
As he traveled within Yuanling City, conversations about the Mayors Battle could be heard everywhere, including discussions about the people on the Potential Ranking Board. It was clear that the Mayors Battle was the hot topic of the city.
Long Chen, do you have the guts to come with me? On this day, Long Chen was strolling around aimlessly and was preparing to head back when a voluptuous woman stood in front of him, glaring coldly.
It was Dongfang Xuanyu.
Long Chen remembered how he had angered her just a few days ago. Nothing good was going to come out of this if she was looking for him. However, he wasnt afraid of her and wanted to see what trick she had up her sleeve. So he said, My guts are bigger than your donkey brain. Just bring me to wherever you want to go. But youre old enough to be my aunt, alright? Unless youre interested in men far younger than yourself?
Long Chens words were extremely insulting, and he thought Dongfang Xuanyu would immediately explode. Yet she swallowed her anger and led him on to a small alley with fewer people. Soon, they arrived at an abandoned area with not a single soul to be found.
This place was dirty and messy, with dilapidated houses everywhere. Long Chen looked up and asked when they arrived, So? You want to kill me?
She turned around and said coldly, You are a bold one. Ill tell you, regretfully, that you are right. If I do it here, no one will know that I was the one who killed you. Accept your fate, Long Chen.
Long Chen froze. He didnt expect Dongfang Xuanyu to do this. It looked like he had put too much pressure on her, pushing her past her limits. If I die, it doesnt matter who killed me. My master will annihilate the entire Lingwu family! Long Chen shrugged.
Dont worry about that. I have planned for this. You killed Yan Chixue of the Blood Saints. So after you die, I will pin the blame on the Beast Soul Palace. Ive been working on this plan for the past few days. I have accounted for everything. So, die!
As she spoke, she was already preparing her Qi. She raised her hand with a whoosh.
Damn, did you really do that? Long Chen was a little speechless. He had always thought that she was a dumb pig-brain, but she was actually quite smart. If she really had a way to pin the blame on the Beast Soul Palace, then the Lingwu family would be able to avoid tragedy.
Next, considering Long Chens arrogance, she was sure that she could lead him to this quiet place. At that point, there was a zero percent failure rate.
Of course, while there were no problems with the plan, Dongfang Xuanyu had overlooked one thing: Long Chens capabilities.
Late Heavenly Core Realm? To Long Chen, she was an amazing opponent. He guessed that Dongfang Xuanyu was as strong as Beitang Mo and the others with Earth-tier Divine Weapons. It was great to have a sparring partner before he fought them.
She and Mo Xiaolang were indeed on the same level, the late Heavenly Core Realm, but she lacked actual battle experience compared to Mo Xiaolang.
Long Chen! Ever since you entered the clan, I have never had a good nights sleep! Youre a cancerous tumor! You terrorize the youths of my clan, and if I dont stand up for them, how can I call myself their senior? You should be honored to die by my hand! When she attacked, she vented all the anger in her heart!
There was too much resentment towards Long Chen accumulated over time.
Comet Dragon Seal! Supported by a late Heavenly Core Realm cultivators powerful Qi, the Comet Dragon Seal she produced was ten times stronger than what Dongfang Tianxings. Instantly, a roaring dragon soared and charged at Long Chen, leaving a trail of pulverized waste in its wake!
Not bad. Long Chen snickered. He didnt dare slack off while facing Dongfang Xuanyu. The moment she attacked, he used the Dragon Soul Transformation, and his Qi was boosted to its peak form. His body, now covered in blood-red dragon scales, was filled with explosive combat power!
Long Chen was not in a hurry to take the Azure Dragon Halberd out. When the Comet Dragon Seal came hurling towards him, a ray of starlight shot out of the fingers on both his hands. Ling Xi, if only you could see me use the Sword Devil Finger you gave me When he thought about her, infinite rage rose in his heart.
Sword Devil Finger!
With a roar, two shining blades of Sword Qi shot out consecutively from his fingers!
Boom!
The Sword Qi and dragon image collided, leading to several explosions. The surrounding broken walls and scattered roof tiles were instantly pulverized from the shockwaves. Sword Qi shot in all directions!
How is that possible? Dongfang Xuanyu was shocked. She had clearly seen that Long Chen had only used the Sword Devil Finger, yet its strength was equal to her attack!
Do you still think you can beat me now? Long Chen laughed. His body flickered and he charged at her. Now that he had used two blades of Sword Qi from the Sword Devil Finger to successfully defeat Dongfang Xuanyus attack, he had a rough guess of her strength.
In terms of combat technique and real battle experience, she was almost equal to Dongfang Tianxuan. The only difference was that her Qi was ten times stronger, and therefore her attacks were ten times stronger.
Youve merely withstood one strike; whats there to be so smug about? Dongfang Xuanyu knew that she had to finish this battle as soon as possible so that she could appropriately clean up the crime scene. After realizing that the brat had withstood her Comet Dragon Seal, she decided to use the attack that she had once used on him at the Black Tortoise Pavilion.
At the time, Long Chen looked so scared that he stumbled backwards. If it wasnt for Li Xuanji, he would have died.
But was that really what had happened?
Doge & Chacha's Thoughts
She actually attacked him? Kill her!
