“What?” Both Dongfang Tianxing and Dongfang Tianxuan were offended when Long Chen underestimated them. However, they knew that it was important for them to work together; their pride was not the priority here. If Long Chen was stupid enough to antagonize them, they were more than happy to fall for his taunt.
“You asked for it! We won’t take responsibility if you lose!” Dongfang Tianxing turned serious, while Dongfang Tianxuan felt nothing but disgust when she looked at Long Chen.
“Go!” she roared, and Dongfang Tianxing followed her order. Both of them moved at the same time, each using an advanced Black-tier martial technique.
“I don’t have time to waste on you guys.” Long Chen smiled before his feet moved rapidly.
Nine Dragon Flashes!
Long Chen easily escaped their encirclement, causing their attacks to miss him completely.
“How can Long Chen move so fast? Is he really at the Heavenly Core Realm?” They were just as surprised as the onlookers when they saw how fast Long Chen had moved. Long Chen had advanced two cultivation levels in just one month, putting him at the Heavenly Core Realm. What kind of a genius was he?
But he was too lazy to be bothered by their reactions. After escaping the encirclement, he ran towards Dongfang Tianxing and brandished the Azure Dragon Halberd.
“Dongfang Tianxing, time for you to taste this technique again!” Long Chen was extremely fast. He left afterimages as he charged towards Dongfang Tianxing. Even Dongfang Tianxuan could not keep up!
He’s too fast! Dongfang Tianxing felt chills run up his spine. Long Chen was like an arrow shot out of a bow, aimed directly at him. Dongfang Tianxing had a feeling that he could not dodge the attack.
“Tianxuan, save me!” At the critical moment, he called for help before making seals with his hands. His Qi condensed and swirled around him, his hair billowing in the wind. If Dongfang Tianxing hadn’t been so scared, he would’ve looked cool.
“Comet Dragon Seal!” Dongfang Tianxing launched his attack at Long Chen. When he did, an illusory dragon charged towards Long Chen, the force hidden within it surprising everyone. It seemed Dongfang Tianxing had improved as well.
But to Long Chen, the dragon was like a passing fart.
Long Chen swung the Azure Dragon Halberd around his body, and an illusion slowly formed. Split Yellow River was a simple swing of the halberd, while Shattered Skies was numerous thrusts that perforated the heavens!
“Azure Dragon Technique, Shattered Skies!”
The wind howled and a horrible screeching sound exploded in the air. Numerous sparks flew out as Long Chen thrust the Azure Dragon Halberd forward numerous times. His stabs were so fast that they coalesced into a solid, azure dragon. The dragon’s sharp horn contained immense energy that was concentrated at the tip. It was an unbreakable thrust aimed straight at Dongfang Tianxing.
Long Chen had not used his Dragon Soul Transformation, so this was not Shattered Skies’ true strength, but it was more than enough to deal with Dongfang Tianxing.
Plus, Long Chen had more Qi than him and was even using an intermediate Earth-tier Divine Weapon.
In front of everyone’s shocked gazes, the Comet Dragon Seal was shattered into oblivion. If Long Chen’s powerful strike hit Dongfang Tianxing, he would die instantly.
Everyone was certain that Dongfang Tianxing would die, including Dongfang Tianxuan.
Dongfang Tianxuan’s ultimate technique was slowly closing in on Long Chen. If Long Chen hit Dongfang Tianxing, he would get hit by Dongfang Tianxuan’s attack.
“Tianxing!” Dongfang Xuanyu shouted and cried when she saw that her son was going to die! She could not suppress her killing intent and ran towards Long Chen.
Long Chen had no intention of killing Dongfang Tianxing.
Li Xuanji is gone, and while I can blackmail them, they will retaliate if I overdo it. I need to enter the ancient ruins, so I must not antagonize them too much. Long Chen steered his attack sideways to avoid Dongfang Tianxing, but in the process, he used his Destructive Mountain Kick to pulverize Dongfang Tianxing’s skull, caving in his face in the process.
When Dongfang Tianxing flew backwards from the impact and landed in Dongfang Xuanyu’s embrace, his face was burning and his vision was swimming. He cried from the pain.
It was too painful.
No one managed to react to what had happened.
The Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch released his clenched fists when he saw that Dongfang Tianxing was safe. If Long Chen had not held back, he would’ve intercepted the attack and saved Dongfang Tianxing. He was the Patriarch’s grandson after all.
Only Dongfang Tianxuan was left. All of them looked at her anxiously while Dongfang Xuanyu was busy consoling and treating her son. Dongfang Tianxing’s face was heavily bruised, and Dongfang Xuanyu’s heart was shattered upon seeing her son so heavily injured. She hated Long Chen even more now.
Long Chen, that bastard! Fucking mongrel! Once your master is gone, I will tear you apart! Only then will I be satisfied! Dongfang Xuanyu’s heart was filled with the flames of vengeance.
But only Dongfang Tianxuan could beat up Long Chen at this point.
Still, they had some confidence in Dongfang Tianxuan. That was because she had made some progress with her cultivation a few days ago, much to the Eastern Azure Dragon family’s delight.
Dongfang Tianxuan and Long Chen were the only ones left.
After defeating Dongfang Tianxing and using the Nine Dragon Flashes to avoid Dongfang Tianxuan’s attack, he was now ready to face her head-on.
Long Chen still remembered how Dongfang Tianxuan had bullied Yin Mengyao due to her strength.
“Young lady, I see that you’ve reached the mid Heavenly Core Realm.” Long Chen chuckled without a hint of fear.
Dongfang Tianxuan scoffed and retorted, “You know that, yet you still dare to talk shit in front of me? Do you think you’re some kind of hotshot after defeating Tianxing?”
She had indeed reached the mid Heavenly Core Realm. Excluding Mo Xiaolang, there were only five people in their age group who had reached the mid Heavenly Core Realm, and she was one of them now. She was indeed very excellent.
In terms of Qi, she was stronger than Long Chen if he did not use the Dragon Soul Transformation. Still, Long Chen’s advantage was the Azure Dragon Halberd.
The Azure Dragon Halberd contained immense power thanks to the azure dragon within it. He could use the Qi from the halberd to increase his fighting power explosively, making his attacks numerous times more powerful. The multiplier from the attack was almost as strong as Long Chen’s Dragon Soul Transformation!
“Mid Heavenly Core realm? Dongfang Tianxuan, no matter how strong you are, you are just a weak lady in my eyes. Your wrists and legs are too frail. How could you ever beat me? Sure, you have a bigger chest and a fatter butt than me, but that won’t help you.” Long Chen taunted her while using the Nine Dragon Flashes.
His crude remarks made everyone flushed from anger. All of them were cursing Long Chen, while Dongfang Tianxuan’s face was red from anger. Killing intent spilled forth from her.
“Die, Long Chen! Earth-tier martial technique, Piercing Wind Dragon!”
She used her strongest technique after falling for his taunt. She was so talented that the power of her Piercing Wind Dragon could match Dongfang Xuanyu when she used the same technique.
The powerful attack lit everyone’s hope up! An Earth-tier martial technique from someone at the mid Heavenly Core Realm was probably enough to defeat Long Chen at the initial Heavenly Core Realm.
Within the wild winds, the immense dragon illusion made Long Chen squint.
“Not bad, but it’s not as strong as my Earth-tier martial technique …” Long Chen sighed and waved the Azure Dragon Halberd again, spinning it wildly around his body before he jumped into the air. Facing the Piercing Wind Dragon, he soared downwards like a meteor, and the Azure Dragon Halberd transformed into a divine dragon in his arms.
“Azure Dragon Technique, Split Yellow River and Shattered Skies!”
A slash and a thrust. The techniques were meant to be used consecutively. When used as they were intended, their resulting destructive force was much stronger than when using them individually.
Long Chen used Split Yellow River to chop the Piercing Wind Dragon in half, much to everyone’s dismay. Shattered Skies then stabbed towards the pale Dongfang Tianxuan, who dodged as best as she could.
Even though she was on the verge of death, Dongfang Tianxuan didn’t know she had lost. If Long Chen had not held back, she would’ve been dead already.
“Tianxuan!” Dongfang Xuanyun, the only one who had a friendly relationship with Dongfang Xuanxiao, cried out anxiously.
Long Chen would never kill Dongfang Tianxuan. His grudge with her was not very deep, and it was thanks to Dongfang Xuanyun’s help that he had gotten his hands on the Sky Soul Fruit.
Dongfang Tianxuan was worn out and gave up on fighting. She felt her spine tingle when she was locked in a battle where her life was on the line.
At the same time, the deadly presence disappeared. She knew Long Chen had shown her mercy. She sighed in relief before feeling a peculiar sensation on her chest.
The strange sensation made her body tingle. When she opened her eyes, she saw Long Chen smiling mischievously in front of her.
Long Chen was fondling her breasts! He fondled her and then patted them before saying with satisfaction, “Not bad, but there’s still room to grow.”
