Chapter 33 – A Shocking Scheme!
Long Chen roared and turned into a pale-red dragon illusion. He charged at Bai Shiji with great power!
Black light danced between Bai Shiji’s fingers. He smirked and unleashed the first finger of the Abyssal Heaven Fingers, First Finger of Devil Transformation. A ray of black light shot like an arrow towards the dragon shadow and the two sources of insane power collided, releasing a huge amount of energy that flattened the area around them! His half-baked Vast Dragon Seal isn’t a match for Bai Shiji’s First Finger of Devil Transformation, a skill he’s already mastered ...
That was what Yang Wu was thinking.
Bai Shiji was thinking the same thing, sensing that his opponent’s Qi wasn’t as powerful as his. But in the next moment, he sensed a frightening aura coming from Long Chen. Its ancient power made him turn pale instantly!
Then, he saw his First Finger of Devil Transformation blasted backward by his opponent's pale-red dragon-shaped shadow, which then pulverized the Finger. Before Bai Shiji could react, it collided with him with a boom. Bai Shiji cried out in pain, blood splattered out of his mouth, and he collapsed!
His eyes widened in complete disbelief.
He didn’t understand. How could a Vast Dragon Seal wielded by a person merely at the Sixth Draconic Stage be so powerful?! And that frightening aura, what was that?!
Although the Vast Dragon Seal had been weakened, it had still hit Bai Shiji directly. It left all his internal organs shaken and the pain in his core made his face contort. Black blood continued to flow out of his mouth and his fingers grasped the soil weakly, trying to pull himself back on his feet but it was useless!
Yang Wu and Yang Lingyue, who had been full of hopeless despair, were stunned. Yang Wu’s mouth was agape and he shook his head hard. When he realized that it was real, he cried in surprise, “That’s impossible ... Impossible!”
Yang Lingyue’s eyes were wide with shock and the clothes she was clutching fell to the ground, almost exposing her body but she didn’t even notice it. She was in too much shock! “This is impossible ... Impossible!”
She never imagined this could happen. Long Chen was a spoiled brat who never put any effort into learning. Forget about cultivation, forget about his defeat of Yang Zhan–and the time he defeated her had already left her in shock–but now Long Chen had defeated the true prodigy of their age! “What has happened to this world ...”
Bai Zhixing and Bai Shidong didn’t dare move.
When Bai Shidong recalled what he’d said to Bai Shiji, he felt his knees go weak.
Bai Shiji was struggling with all the strength he had but it only worsened his internal injuries. He felt his vision becoming blurry, the sun grew a little too bright. He faintly recognized the silhouette of a man looking down at him as Long Chen.
A hand grabbed his neck. Feeling the brutal strength within the fingers, Bai Shiji faintly thought to himself, Am I ... going to die ... Is he going to kill me? Why ... It wasn’t supposed to be like this ... Why?
But the hand suddenly released his neck.
Long Chen spat in his face and said coldly, “I’ll save Lingqing before coming back to kill you!”
Long Chen’s eyes were still on Bai Shiji as his body moved in a flash. Bai Zhixing and Bai Shidong, who were still guarding Yang Wu, cried out in pain.
Long Chen first hit Bai Zhixing, who passed out. When Long Chen’s fist hit Bai Shidong’s face, he fell to the ground staring at Long Chen. Long Chen smelled the stench of urine once again ...
Long Chen struck him unconscious with one kick. “Fuck! He peed himself again! I’m going to kick you every time we meet and we’ll see how many times you can pee yourself in a day!”
When he was done, he did not even look at Yang Wu, who was looking at him with shock and fear. He turned to Yang Lingyue, who was in a daze, and gave a small smile. “Yang Lingyue, isn’t it a little inappropriate for you to show your cousin your beautiful body?”
Yang Lingyue suddenly realized there wasn’t much clothing covering her body. She screamed, hurriedly picking up the torn clothing on the ground as she glared at him.
Long Chen was not interested and skipped the small talk to say, “I’m going to go save Lingqing. I’ll leave this to you guys. Keep the three of them here. Now tell me, where is Yang Lingqing?”
Yang Lingyue was still pale but Yang Wu pointed in a direction. “Lingqing went that way. Bai Shichen was chasing after her!”
Long Chen wasted no time on chit-chat. He shot towards the direction Yang Wu said.
Yang Wu watched him disappear in a daze. He looked at Bai Shiji on the ground, who was sputtering blood and struggling, then at the unconscious Bai Shidong and Bai Zhixing. “Xiao Yue, tell me, do you think he can defeat Bai Shichen?”
“Huh?”
Yang Lingyue had put her clothes on but they were too torn up. Since Bai Shidong’s clothes were soaked, she took off Bai Zhixing’s outer clothing for herself.
Yang Lingyue had nothing but hatred towards the Bai family for their sudden betrayal. “Say, do you think he can beat Bai Shichen?” Yang Wu asked.
Yang Lingyue finally came back to her senses, looked around, and replied in a shaky voice, “... Lingqing should be fine.”
When Yang Wu heard her response, he slowly closed his eyes. He knew that the title of being number one among the younger Yang generation no longer belonged to him. It belonged to the other teenager who radiated strength and power. During the moment Long Chen defeated Bai Shiji with his Vast Dragon Seal, it was as if Long Chen was no longer human but a blood-colored dragon.
Dragons had always been kings.
The blood-red color was a symbol of massacre. The Massacre King. That was the title Yang Wu coined for Long Chen.
***
Long Chen had taken less than ten minutes to defeat Bai Shiji using his Meteor Fist and Vast Dragon Seal. However, he was extremely worried about Yang Lingqing.
Bai Shichen was much more powerful than Yang Lingqing. If he wasn’t toying with her, he would have already made a move on Yang Lingqing!
When he thought that Yang Lingqing might be raped, fire shot out of Long Chen’s eyes. The Qi in his body didn’t decrease from defeating Bai Shiji, it was quickly rising! “Long Chen, I can sense them! Over there!”
Ling Xi’s voice came from the sword once more. It was much easier for Long Chen to move through the Desolate Mountains with her present. He sprinted off as fast as he could towards the direction she pointed out!
Long Chen was extremely anxious arriving at the scene because he was terrified of seeing something heart-wrenching! However, Ling Xi said, “Don’t worry, your sister is fine. They’re talking!”
Long Chen relaxed but he still wanted to kill Bai Shichen.
There was a huge conflict between the Bai and Yang families. Long Chen and Bai Shichen were the most powerful fighters on either side. Now that Long Chen had injured Bai Shiji and Yang Wu was severely hurt, the damage to the relationship of the families was irreparable.
When Long Chen heard that they were still conversing, he slowed down and moved within the shadows. Very soon, he saw that Bai Shichen had forced Yang Lingqing into a corner.
Yang Lingqing’s eyes were red, and streaks of tears flowed down her cheeks. She glared at Bai Shichen coldly, clenching her teeth. She was even trembling in anger.
Bai Shichen spoke mildly. “Lingqing, you must believe that I am sincere. I have seen you many times before, I just never had the chance to get to know you. If you’re willing to be with me, you’ll live a very happy life.”
Yang Lingqing glared at him coldly without a word.
Bai Shichen’s voice started to turn cold at Yang Lingqing’s stubborn refusal. “We have suppressed Yang Wu and Yang Lingyue. And when the wedding ceremony begins, the Yang family will drink the poisoned wine and they will all die. Yang Wu will also die. As for Yang Lingyue, I’m sure she will make the smart decision to pick Shiji!”
“Even Yang Xueqing chose my father and abandoned the Yang family. I like you too. As long as you’re with me, even if there is no Yang family, you three Yang daughters will live happily! You must know that my grandfather has given me the command to kill you all in the Desolate Mountains!”
Long Chen paled when he heard Bai Shichen. So that’s why they’re attacking the Yang family in the Desolate Mountains. The Bai family is aiming to wipe out the entire Yang family!
The sudden surge of information shook Long Chen to the core.
The Bai patriarch looked like such a good person and had a great relationship with the Yang patriarch. It was so unexpected that he would commit such a betrayal. He was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Why is the Bai patriarch doing all this? If it’s just for the right to rule for twenty years, they could have won easily with the Bai youth alone. They don’t need to resort to this!
It was indeed a devious idea to serve the Yang family poisoned wine at the ceremony. The Yang patriarch was ecstatic that his daughter was getting married. He would probably down a cup of urine in one shot, much less a cup of poisoned wine.
They had to kill all the Yang family’s elders, then the Bai youth would kill the Yang youth. This tactic was vicious indeed; they could destroy the entire Yang family in just one day.
They must have been planning this for a while since the marriage between Yang Xueqing and Bai Zhanxiong was one of the key elements of the plan!
When he thought of Yang Xueqing, Long Chen’s eyes turned bloodshot. I once thought that despite your contempt for me, you were humane and filial towards your parents, kind to your peers, and good at educating the younger ones. But I never knew how vicious you are! How dare you help them kill your own family?
Yang Xueqing! Have you gone insane? Are you sick in the head?
Long Chen could not figure out why Yang Xueqing would do such a thing because this was far from anything he could imagine!
However, he would not abandon the Yang family even if Yang Xueqing did. He decided immediately that he had to kill Bai Shichen immediately, save Yang Lingqing, and then rush back to the Bai family!
Since Yang Lingqing still wasn’t cooperating, Bai Shichen said sternly, “Yang Lingqing. Seeing as you don’t appreciate my kindness, I’m not going to waste a breath on you. You won’t be able to change the outcome, so what can you do?”
