Chapter 34 – Primordial Dragon Seal!
When Yang Lingqing heard such an evil threat coming from the once-gentlemanly Bai Shichen, she smiled in despair and eyed him in disgust. “When I heard that you’re the top martial artist in Baiyang Town among the younger generation, I swooned over you like other girls. I was mesmerized by your aristocratic airs. But today, I see that you are nothing. I will not laugh at you, but I will laugh at myself. I can’t believe I once worshiped an animal like you!”
Yang Lingqing’s look of contempt drove the calm Bai Shichen to madness. He exposed his true nature as he bared his teeth in anger.
The way he made himself look fiercer made Yang Lingqing look at him as though he were a clown.
She said flatly, “Bai Shichen, you must remember that even if you get my body, you won’t get my soul.”
She suddenly thought of someone and smiled. “There’s someone who’s so much better than you. Everyone thought he was just some hopeless spoiled brat. Even the way he speaks can be coarse but there is a clarity deep within his eyes that is a thousand times purer than yours. You’re just an animal.”
Bai Shichen knew who she was talking about and mocked her, “You whore. You call me an animal but you have fallen for your own cousin. Aren’t you the animal here, displaying such incestuous behavior?”
Yang Lingqing’s face reddened and she cried in anger, “Bastard! Only you would think of such perverted things. Does admiring a person mean romantic interest? If your mother loves you, is that incestuous?”
When Bai Shichen saw that Yang Lingqing was still not unafraid, the madness within took over. Without another word, he pounced at Yang Lingqing and he exclaimed in a guttural voice, “I don’t care what you are. Wait till I conquer your body. You think I won’t conquer your soul too? Yang Lingqing!”
Yang Lingqing was about to scream when her eyes widened. She stared at something behind Bai Shichen. Bai Shichen was wondering why she wasn’t fighting back until he felt someone standing behind him and was instantly drenched in cold sweat. He turned around.
While he was stunned by the sight of Long Chen, Yang Lingqing punched Bai Shichen’s waist and took this chance to sprint towards Long Chen. “Run!”
She wanted to take the opportunity to run but she was frustrated to see that Long Chen seemed to be in shock, his feet nailed to the ground. He wouldn’t move no matter how she pulled at him.
But Bai Shichen had already come to his senses. They wouldn’t have another chance to run again.
Yang Lingqing knew that Long Chen was stubborn and ill-tempered. If they stayed, he would fight Bai Shichen to death. All she could do was block Long Chen, glaring at Bai Shichen as she said to Long Chen, “Run! The Bai family intends to serve Grandfather and the rest poisoned wine! Run back to tell them quickly!”
Tears streamed down her face as she spoke.
This was the most traumatic day of her sixteen-year life.
Yang Lingqing might have been born on the same day as Long Chen but they had both lived very different lives. She had been raised in a loving environment while Long Chen had been left to fend for himself since he was young.
Long Chen was moved to see the girl standing in front of him once again to save him. However, he would never leave Yang Lingqing.
Long Chen was not a man who would let a woman protect him from danger.
Bai Shichen laughed coldly. “Are you the person she was talking about? Well, you’re asking for it. Seeing as you’re so close with my Lingqing, we’ll both put on a good show for you.”
Yang Lingqing had already given him her instructions but she was panicking as Long Chen didn’t move. She roared, “Brother Chen! Are you a man? Don’t you know how to prioritize? My family’s lives are in your hands!”
Long Chen gazed at her lovingly. He pursed his lips and pulled the girl behind him. He spoke with determination, “Lingqing, you’re already sixteen and as your cousin, I’ve only stood up for you once. That’s very embarrassing. He made you cry today, I’ll make him pay it back in blood ...”
“As for Grandfather and the rest, just give me under ten minutes. It will be enough.”
Although his tone was flat, the determination, confidence, and decisiveness in it stunned Yang Lingqing.
She suddenly recalled the time Bai Zhixing had bullied her at the Warrior’s Market. Long Chen had stood like that in front of her too. Although he wasn’t very muscular, he had a backbone made of iron that made her feel oddly calm.
Even when Long Chen was facing the top prodigy of Baiyang Town! “I’ll handle this. Stand back and watch how I teach bad apples a lesson.”
Yang Lingqing nodded woodenly, then he gently pushed her into the forest.
Bai Shichen was bewildered when he saw that Long Chen didn’t make Yang Lingqing run. He growled, “Kid, shouldn’t you let her run away? I was about to feel very moved but didn’t expect you to be stupid.”
Long Chen replied, “That’s because I’m fighting you; there’s no need to ask her to run. I need less than ten minutes. I heard you’re a legend in Baiyang Town. Today, I’m going to disprove it with my sister as a witness!”
Bai Shichen eyed Long Chen, then burst into laughter. “You can dream ...”
Even as he laughed, Long Chen’s powerful aura was already heading towards him. Both of them immediately entered battle stances while Yang Lingqing watched nervously next to an old tree.
Although she knew that Long Chen was no match for Bai Shichen, there was a peculiar confidence in her heart that made her believe that Long Chen would win. “Although you accidentally caused my brother’s death, you’ve always been my hero ...”
Long Chen had actually long forgotten an incident in the past but Yang Lingqing always remembered it.
When they were about six years old, Yang Lingqing was a mischievous child who often slipped out of the house to play deep in the forest. When she met a pack of wolves one day, Long Chen was the one who had stood in front of her to fend them off.
Long Chen was covered in bite wounds but Yang Lingqing wasn’t hurt, only traumatized.
Yang Lingqing couldn’t stop crying when they returned home. Yang Xueqing had thought Long Chen was the one who led her into the forest and punished him severely.
Yang Lingqing had felt very guilty for many years. “You’ve forgotten that this is your third time standing up for me. You’ve never faltered ...”
As she gazed at his back, she was brought back to the time she was six, watching the skinny kid fighting the hungry wolves with a sharp rock. Despite bleeding from his bite wounds, he never shed a single tear!
Yang Lingqing’s eyes welled up with tears as she thought about it.
Long Chen’s eyes were fixed on Bai Shichen. After a few exchanges, he had figured out from the fight that Bai Shichen was indeed much stronger than Bai Shiji. He had almost attained the Eighth Draconic Stage!
Bai Shichen stopped and looked at Long Chen in surprise. “They all said you were at the Fifth Draconic Stage but I didn’t know you’re in the sixth, almost seventh! You’ve hidden your strength well but do you really think you can defeat me with your measly cultivation?”
Long Chen admitted that this was the biggest fight of his life. The Blood Lizard King had been strong and a few times larger than Bai Shichen but Bai Shichen was much harder to defeat!
Bai Shichen had embarked on his cultivation journey for more than ten years, his talent far exceeded that of Bai Shiji. It was not going to be easy to defeat him.
Bai Shichen took one look at the beautiful Yang Lingqing again and his heart burst on fire. He had no more time to toy with Long Chen and said directly, “I’ll admit you’re tough to beat. The Abyssal Heaven Fingers will be the only skill I possess that can defeat you. So ... Die!”
Abyssal Heaven Fingers again?
Long Chen looked up. “I heard you mastered the second Finger of the Abyssal Heaven Fingers? I wonder if I will have the honor of witnessing it?”
Bai Shichen froze, then smiled. “I understand what you mean. You want to die a more heroic death in front of Lingqing. Seeing as you’re not a bad fighter yourself, I have no choice but to fulfill your wish!”
Yang Lingqing looked at Long Chen, puzzled, not knowing what he was up to.
The First Devil Transforming Finger of the Abyssal Heaven Fingers was on par with the Vast Dragon Seal but how was Long Chen going to defend against the Second Finger?
Although she trusted Long Chen, her heart raced.
Thinking that he was going to get Yang Lingqing to himself soon, Bai Shichen was unbelievably excited.
Bai Shichen stared at the idiot who had no fear of death and slowly extended the middle finger on his right hand. A black stream of water swirled quickly around his middle finger, unleashing a powerful aura in all directions!
This airflow was as powerful as a water current, and it gained strength as it swirled and whooshed. In a flash, a gigantic whirlpool had formed. Bai Shichen’s eyes turned cold. He took one look at Long Chen, then prepared to attack with the Second Finger of the Abyssal Heaven Fingers. It was at that moment when he realized Long Chen was quickly forming his seal too! You learned the Vast Dragon Seal in under twenty days? All the more reason I can’t keep you alive!
Bai Shichen unleashed the full power of the Second Abyssal Heaven Fingers and the black whirlpool expanded; the air swirled like a storm!
Branches snapped, leaves ripped apart, and soil flew in the air. Bai Shichen cried out and sent the powerful attack towards Long Chen! “Abyssal Heaven Fingers, Nine Yellow Rivers!”
Yang Lingqing was already as pale as a sheet. But Long Chen’s expression did not change!
Long Chen remained unaffected by Bai Shichen’s Second Finger and focused on completing his own attack. An even more powerful aura erupted from his body.
Nine red streams of air danced between his fingers. As the seal approached completion, nine dragons materialized, all under Long Chen’s control!
Yang Lingqing had wanted Long Chen to hide but now she saw the faint images of nine blood-red dragons on Long Chen. She had seen this once before when Yang Qingxuan had fought. It was the most powerful attack in the Yang family’s Dragon Seal scripture.
“Primordial Dragon Seal!”
