Dragon-Blooded War God

Long Chen had always been one to do unexpected things, and although Bai Lan and the other people were used to it, they were still sweating at a moment like this.

He had taken the full brunt of the intermediate Emperor-tier attack. Who would dare do such a thing? Not even Bai Lan and the others were stupid enough to do something like that.

After the loud boom, Long Chen was thrown back into the air.

“Long Chen!” Suxue was frozen with shock. She descended woodenly and stood in her spot in disbelief. However, she was privately resentful too. She was just slightly venting her anger on him; how could she have known that he would do this?

That was completely Long Chen’s decision. It had nothing to do with her.

When she saw Long Chen fly through the air, she rushed over to him.

Was he dead?

This was the question that popped into everyone’s minds, but then they saw the flying body suddenly flip, and he stably landed on the ground.

That bitch! Her attack was definitely very strong! Long Chen was privately regretting his decision ten thousand times over. The pain in his chest was making him grit his teeth. He actually had blocked her attack by gathering all the celestial Qi from the Seven Star Body in his chest. The celestial Qi would also bring harm to Suxue, so in the end, Suxue retracted some of her force.

The Three Thousand Star Clusters also helped Long Chen block the attack. It was made out of three thousand stars, so under his control, they formed a circular shield at his chest. Very few people saw this, and even Suxue was not sure what had happened. She had not expected him to not dodge her attack at all!

She had merely wanted to complete a full set of the Divine Demon Nine Spins. If she still had not defeated Long Chen by then, she would have automatically admitted defeat.

To her surprise, Long Chen had not dodged her attack, which stunned her, and she frantically tried to retract the final spin.

She was familiar with exactly how strong it was, and even thought Long Chen would die. But after Long Chen was hit, although his face was pale and there was a little blood on the corner of his mouth, his essence was still strong and his gaze was still sharp.

When she saw his response, she hurriedly stopped in front of him.

The whole place was absolutely silent for a moment.

“Why … why didn’t you dodge?” she stuttered after she saw that he had survived.

Long Chen withstood the fiery pain in his chest, gritting his teeth. He looked at her determinedly and said, “Don’t overthink it. I’m just trying to see how strong my body is. Since you weren’t able to defeat me, it’ll be my turn to attack you next.”

Is that really the case? Suxue asked in her heart as she stared at him hesitantly. She had a feeling that it was not the only reason.

“Let’s continue,” said Long Chen, raising his hand.

“There’s no need.” Suxue shook her head, took a glance at Bai Lan, then said, “I have already lost. You win.”

Even her most powerful attack had barely damaged Long Chen, so she had lost. She did not say anything else and walked past Long Chen to return to her spot behind Bai Lan. Long Chen’s reaction had made her very emotional.

Is he compensating for what he said to me yesterday? Suxue bit her lip. She was not sure why, but her vision was getting blurry and tears were about to fall.

Long Chen had won. He had successfully entered the finals.

After Long Chen left, Wu Guangyu and his opponent, a Five Elements Alliance expert, entered the ring. After a quick attack, that person lost to Wu Guangyu. As a result, Wu Guangyu became Long Chen’s final opponent. Everyone had expected this result.

The final fight no longer had anything to do with the Five Elements Alliance.

This was a fight between the Divine and the Demon clans. Both factions glared at each other, and the tension in the air thickened.

“If you can, take Long Chen’s life for me,” Feng Zhilin said softly into Wu Guangyu’s ear with an icy expression on her face.

“Don’t worry, Sister Zhilin. I will surely do it.” Wu Guangyu nodded with a smile on his face.

Next to him, Wu Lian shook her head and said, “You will have many chances to kill him in the future. There is no need to take the risk here. Most importantly, you must defeat him and become the champion. Long Chen really is a rare prodigy, proven by how he could withstand Suxue’s final Divine Demon Spin.”

“I understand, Mother,” said Wu Guangyu with a respectful nod. Though there was some reverence in his eyes when he looked at his mother, there was not much familial love in his gaze.

Wu Guangyu had grown up being loved by Wu Lian, and he did everything she told him to. In front of Wu Lian, he was an obedient son through and through. Only when he was away from her did the arrogant Wu Guangyu appear.

Although Wu Guangyu looked quiet and obedient, his inner heart was filled with insane arrogance and coldness. He was even more arrogant than Feng Zhilin was, having been the second most powerful person in the whole Divine clan his whole life.

After the Long-Bearded Guest announced Wu Guangyu’s victory, the Divine and Demon clans did not talk much. They returned to their original spots. The atmosphere was very strange due to the spat between Long Chen and Suxue.

Looking at the pair, Bai Lan sighed and decided not to bother with it. Long Chen taking a blow from her was basically paying back what he owed. Now that he had paid her back, he no longer owed Suxue anything.

But to Suxue, for a short while, this would make her even sadder.

Long Chen did not know what to do at all. He merely wanted to let the girl vent her anger on him and did not overthink it. However, now Suxue had more misunderstandings and he could not do anything about it.

“The final duel will be tomorrow. You’re the hope of the Demon clan. Do well. It doesn’t matter how difficult your opponent is, just use a hundred percent of your strength. You can do it!”

This was what Bai Lan said to Long Chen before he left.

I’ve waited six months for this. Now the time has finally come … Looking at the moon in the sky, Long Chen clenched his fists. It could be said that he had put in all that effort to grow so he could prove his strength tomorrow in front of Wu Guangyu.

He had already proven a lot during this time, but before he truly defeated Wu Guangyu, the legendary young master of the Divine clan and the strongest of the younger generation, his accomplishments meant nothing.

This was about to be the most anticipated duel in the Nine Clans Martial Youth Competition.

Suxue had indeed injured Long Chen today, as the Divine Demon Nine Spins was not a joke. However, after a night of treatment and rest, Long Chen quickly recovered. In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. It was time for the finals.

Long Chen suddenly thought about the Five-Colored Altar.

Those black-robed people—no, they’re from the demon race. They said they want to give away the Black Emperor Key, but when? Once we receive news about the Black Emperor Key, the patriarchs of the nine clans, the Long-Bearded Guest, Ancestor Jin, and the others will not be able to stand still.

Long Chen hoped that the news would not come too quickly, or it would ruin his plan for defeating Wu Guangyu.

Taking Xiaolang from him was an unforgivable offense. If it wasn’t for the fact that Xiaolang was not affected by Wu Guangyu’s hypnosis, Long Chen and Xiaolang’s brotherly relationship would have been broken just like that.

This was a major offense.

The most anticipated moment had come. The Martial Youth Competition was about to end, and it was time for the final duel. Everyone was a little anxious. It was noon, and very soon, Bai Lan arrived. He and Long Chen locked eyes. Long Chen did not speak as they made their way to the outside of Confounding City.

“I won’t say much. For my sake, for Xue’er and Yan’er’s sakes, you must keep yourself alive. Be careful,” Bai Lan said calmly.

“Alright.” Long Chen did not have much to say.

Suxue was behind Bai Lan. Long Chen was about to enter the most important fight, and the results were uncertain. Despite her reservations with him, she let them go and whispered, “Be careful.”

“Just hearing that from you is enough,” Long Chen said with a grin.

He turned around and looked at the Divine clan.

Feng Zhilin, Feng Qing, Wu Guangyu, Wu Lian, and the elders of the Divine Wind Faction were there. They were all experts at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage and above. All of them were looking at Long Chen, and a powerful aura swept toward him. This imposing force was enough to make anyone nervous.

But it did not scare Long Chen.

The expressions from the Divine Wind Faction were icy, like permafrost that could not melt in ten thousand years. Sky-high killing intent erupted from every one of them. Their objective was to intimidate Long Chen.

Do you think you can scare me with such cheap tricks? Long Chen’s gaze turned cold. He straightened his back and walked forward. Purple celestial Qi swirled around his body, forming a thin membrane. Killing intent as strong as his opponents’ radiated from him.

He strode to the center between both factions. He was not intimidated by them at all.

The Divine Wind Faction immediately felt bored by his lack of reaction. After they retracted their auras, they put on nonchalant expressions.

“Yu’er, go,” Wu Lian said gently in the center of the group.

Wu Guangyu nodded. Everyone watched with anticipation as he arrived in front of Long Chen in a flash. Sophisticated but terrifying power radiated from his body.

That was the Azure Lotus Lord’s inheritance.

Long Chen’s journey had led him to become one of the two strongest prodigies of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory.

His starting point was countless times lower than Wu Guangyu, but he had made it anyway. Because he was Long Chen.
