Li Ziling was a late Heavenly Core Realm cultivator with powerful Qi that was a level higher than Long Chen’s when he used the Dragon Soul Transformation. She also had the Level Three Blazing Thunder Combat Body, so she was on the same level as Long Chen in that regard. However, Long Chen possessed the Azure Dragon Halberd, which boosted his combat abilities.
Long Chen had robbed her of the Blazing Thunder Crystal Soul and even humiliated her in public. Li Ziling, who had been treated like a princess all her life, would never live this down.
That was why she did not care about any schemes and immediately charged at Long Chen.
“Big Brother? Do you need me to do something?” Mo Xiaolang whispered.
“It’s fine. I need this bitch to give up completely. Watch Yan Danqing, don’t let him get to the inheritance first,” Long Chen said flatly. Then he stepped towards the left side of the plaza. Roaring flames rose from the right side, so it was more convenient to fight on the left.
“You’re looking for death!” Li Ziling gave chase.
Their battle attracted everyone’s attention.
Mo Xiaolang and Yan Danqing did not, as Li Ziling hoped, engage in battle. Yan Danqing was no idiot; this was the time to save up his energy. He would not attack unless necessary.
He led the rest of the Beast Soul Palace to watch the situation unfold quietly with no intention of fighting, nor did he rush to get the inheritance immediately. He knew that Mo Xiaolang would fight him the moment he moved.
Also, a strong force was flowing through the light membrane. Yan Danqing was not sure how to pass through it at the moment.
That was why everyone watched Long Chen and Li Ziling’s fight.
“Brother Qingling, do you think Miss Ziling will win?” asked a teenager from the Dawn Trading Alliance.
“My elder sister is at the late Heavenly Core Realm, and she has the Level Three Blazing Thunder Combat Body. Long Chen is merely at the initial Heavenly Core Realm and his Qi is several times weaker. How could he beat her?” Li Qingling said smugly.
When he finished speaking, Long Chen was thrown up into the air by Li Ziling.
“Just as I said.” Li Qingling watched Long Chen coldly. He remembered the two times Long Chen had humiliated him in the Fire Thunder Mountain Range.
“Sister Ziling and Brother Qiling are so awesome.”
There was a similar conversation taking place in the Beast Soul Palace contingent, though Yan Danqing had a different opinion. He said, “I heard that Long Chen has a powerful Beast Soul Transformation. And they’ve only just begun. We’ll see.”
As they fought, Long Chen was thrown back into the air with one punch from Li Ziling. She huffed, then caught up to him.
“Long Chen, aren’t you a Beast Warrior? Show me your Beast Soul Transformation, then! Your current form is no match for me!” Li Ziling punched again!
“As you wish.” It was true that he had far less Qi than her. This gap could only be filled if his Qi was more condensed.
Long Chen’s Dragon Soul Transformation was completed quickly, and he was now in his most powerful form. The blood-red scales covering his whole body and the sharp, bony spines were a magnificent sight.
“Your Beast Soul Transformation is special indeed,” Li Ziling said, though she did not mean it as a compliment. She attacked with all her strength the moment he transformed.
“Really?” Long Chen smiled. With the Azure Dragon Halberd in hand, he collided with Li Ziling.
Admittedly, she was a powerful opponent. He used Split Yellow River and Shattered Skies consecutively, even weaving in the Spirit Devil Sword Finger to ambush her, but it was too difficult to injure her!
Li Ziling unleashed a seal technique that was very impressive. The technique brought with it a heavy attack that felt like mountain peaks getting in Long Chen’s way, so he could not fully use the Azure Dragon Halberd.
“Since Black-tier combat techniques aren’t working, I’ll let you try out the Earth-tier one.” Long Chen used the Nine Dragon Flashes and quickly rushed behind Li Ziling.
In reality, Li Ziling was getting more shocked as she fought. In the beginning, she thought it would be easy to defeat Long Chen, but she hadn’t expected him to be this difficult to deal with. All the attacks she had used were difficult even for late Heavenly Core realm cultivators to withstand. But not only could Long Chen block them, he could also retaliate!
“Seal of Mountain and Ocean, Magpie Mountain Seal!”
When the seal technique was unleashed, a gust of wind blew. It was undeniably an Earth-tier combat technique. Li Ziling did not hold back at all—when Long Chen was about to use his Earth-tier technique, she also expertly unleashed one of her own!
Her arms turned into mountain peaks, blasting heavily towards Long Chen!
“Azure Dragon Combat Technique, Starsweep Dragon!” Long Chen slammed her with this attack without hesitation, and countless halberd tips turned into a dense mass of tiny dragons. The two forces collided instantly.
This was a critical moment. Everyone’s eyes were locked on the fight, anxiety running through them.
It was not common to witness a battle as intense as this.
Those who previously looked down on Long Chen were privately impressed when they saw him use an Earth-tier technique so well.
Li Qingling’s smug smirk was long gone. He was full of fear and anxiety as he watched the teenager fight his prodigy sister.
The collision led to an explosion. This was Long Chen’s first time using Starsweep Dragon on such a powerful opponent. He felt like it had not done much damage to Li Ziling because the Magpie Mountain Seal was equally powerful.
Long Chen did a flip in the air, then he landed gracefully on his toes. As agile as a swallow, he sprinted at Li Ziling once more with the Azure Dragon Halberd in hand!
Li Ziling had stumbled backwards from the collision just now, causing some of her hair to fall from its updo. It made her look crazy and more desperate than the graceful Long Chen.
“You… You’re looking for death!” Li Ziling was beside herself with rage, which filled her entire body. Glaring at his shameless grin, she wanted to tear him apart.
Then she charged once more.
“Has the tigress gone mad?” Long Chen teased her, then he retreated slightly to welcome her storm of attacks.
Everyone looked at each other quizzically. They resembled a married couple fighting.
When Li Qingling saw his sister get humiliated by a lowly lecher, his whole face turned purple, and he almost wanted to beat him up himself.
At this moment, Long Chen had a sense of his opponent’s capabilities and knew that it was time to end it all.
He was prepared to end the fight, but the whole tomb suddenly started to shake. A black pillar suddenly rose from the ground at the center of the plaza, throwing up dust in the air.
“What the hell is going on with that pillar?” Everyone was puzzled.
The pillar itself was nothing special, but there was something on top of it that attracted their attention, which was a mysterious, black steel token. At this moment, the steel token was burning with bright red flames.
When he saw the token, Long Chen was startled because it was exactly like the steel token he had found in the Burning Heaven Mountain Range.
Long Chen had no time to think, because everyone knew it was time to fight for the steel token.
Mo Xiaolang and Yan Danqing, who were closest to it, turned into two shadows as they shot towards the black pillar. Because they were in a fight, Li Ziling and Long Chen were a bit slower, but it did not matter!
Mo Xiaolang and Yan Danqing were very close to the black pillar. There was a glint in Mo Xiaolang’s eyes, and he turned to throw a punch at Yan Danqing!
Mo Xiaolang decided to do this because he felt like he might not be as strong as Yan Danqing, but he knew that Long Chen was stronger than Li Ziling. Instead of having himself and Yan Danqing fighting over the token, he wanted to have Long Chen and Li Ziling fight over it instead.
Just as he expected, Yan Danqing had no choice but to block the sudden punch. This small delay allowed Long Chen to overtake them. While he ran, he put away the Azure Dragon Halberd and unleashed the Spirit Devil Sword Finger twice while approaching Li Ziling! She had no choice but to block his fast-paced attack!
Long Chen was now closest to the pillar.
I’m so close! He was relaxed because Yan Danqing was occupied with Mo Xiaolang, while Li Ziling was biting dust at the back. The rest were just bystanders.
Everyone went crazy with rage when they saw that Long Chen was about to get the mysterious steel token.
That was when Long Chen faintly heard a wolf’s howl.
He thought he had imagined it at first, but a huge pressure locked onto him. It was a killing intent that sent chills through his body. Connecting this to the wolf’s howl, an image of ten thousand wolves worshiping a figure appeared in his mind. Ignoring the mysterious steel token, he retreated and yelled towards Mo Xiaolang, “Fall back!”
Mo Xiaolang had also heard the howl, and since Long Chen was backing away, he ignored Yan Danqing and reunited with his brother.
At that moment, a black shadow sprinted forward and stopped in front of the black pillar. Long Chen looked closer and indeed, it was the Sun Devouring Wolf.
Following closely behind it were tens of thousands of Moon Devouring Wolves, all charging into the plaza.
