Dragon War God - Chapter 330 - White Lotus Core

Chapter 330 – White Lotus Core

“Good girl.”

When Ling Xi closed her eyes, Long Chen raised the halberd and pointed it at the Second Commander. The Second Commander was already close to dying and could barely stand. He looked at Long Chen with fear in his eyes. He knew Long Chen was going to kill him, but he didn’t know how.

“You punched me five times.”

Long Chen spoke softly as he approached the man. “I don’t like to get treated badly. You punched me five times, so I will cut you six times. You’ve already received the first one on your chest. Now it’s time for the second one.”

He swung the Azure Dragon Halberd at the Second Commander and cut off his arm. The arm flew towards where Xiaolang was fighting, and the Third Commander cried out in shock when she saw the twitching limb.

She wanted to save the Second Commander, but Xiaolan stopped her.

Long Chen’s revival gave Xiaolang a boost of energy to continue the fight. Xiaolang knew that if he couldn’t even delay the woman, he would be so ashamed that he would never be able to face Long Chen again.

“Awoooo!”

The Third Commander was pushed back by his attacks.

“Now it’s your turn to tell me that I’m weak, you old fart. Go ahead.” Long Chen chuckled.

The Second Commander was just inches away from death. The pain coming from his chest was so intense that losing an arm meant nothing to him.

Unable to form any words, he slowly slid onto the ground and looked at the sky in despair.

Long Chen swung his halberd at the commander again and cut off his other arm.

The Second Commander’s body twitched.

“The fourth and the fifth.” Long Chen cut off the commander’s legs, whose eyes rolled upwards and he slowly lost consciousness.

“Fine, I will just send you off.” Long Chen cut off the head and looked at the dismembered body of the Second Commander, smiling weakly.

“No one can belittle and defeat me.”

His voice was faint, but it was nothing short of domineering.

The Third Commander cried out in pain. She was completely surrounded by Xiaolang’s clones. She was never his opponent to begin with, and she cried out in despair after getting surrounded. She soon burned from the clones engulfing her and became a lump of charcoal.

Xiaolang panted and turned smaller. He lay on the ground, exhausted. Long Chen took a few steps and approached Ling Xi. The three of them looked at each other and smiled. They had survived!

Long Chen fell to the ground.

“Brother Chen!” Ling Xi was scared and quickly propped him up. She looked at his bloody body and almost cried when she saw his wounds. The blood covered her and made her look like she was wounded too.

Xiaolang quickly came over. He knew that Long Chen was heavily injured after the Second Commander’s attacks.

“I’m fine.” Long Chen rested his head on Ling Xi’s soft thighs and smiled. He was worried that both of them would do something stupid because of him. But in reality, he had come very close to death. He had only survived thanks to his unique body. Even without Recovery, his body was slowly mending the wounds with the help of the blood. Long Chen knew that the Inherited Blood Essence was the reason he had survived today.

“You bastard. You are almost dead, yet you say you are fine …” Ling Xi wiped her tears and snot away before wiping the blood off Long Chen’s face. His face would forever be imprinted in her soul. She knew Long Chen had been aiming for something by enduring those attacks.

It was only when the opponent let his guard down after the fifth punch that he had a chance to launch a deadly attack.

It was an insane gamble, but he had won. Now he was alive and the six commanders were dead. The strongest people who were chasing after them were dead!

There was no doubt that Long Chen’s name would spread far and wide after today.

“Spiritual herb …” Their situation was still dire though, and this was not a safe place. Long Chen needed to recover as quickly as possible.

He had taken a large number of spiritual herbs from the Ninth Prince’s Universe Pouch, many of them being intermediate Earth-tier spiritual herbs. Long Chen took one and refined it immediately. The medicinal properties entered his body and helped him recover.

Even though the wounds were too severe to be healed by a single herb, it brought him back from the edge of death.

“We need to leave now. There are still many people looking for us. We need to run even further to escape, and we shouldn’t delay this any longer.”

“But Brother Chen … Your wounds …” Ling Xi was worried.

“No worries. I can refine the spiritual herbs while sitting on Xiaolang …” Long Chen patted her head and forced a smile.

He gradually stood up with Ling Xi’s help.

Just then, Xiaolang detected something and raised his head. He stared at a boulder. Long Chen looked in that direction and saw a person walking out from behind it. The person was dressed completely in black and wore a heavy veil. They couldn’t see who it was, but her figure was clearly that of a lady.

“Don’t worry. I’m not an enemy,” the girl said cautiously. Judging from her voice, Long Chen thought that she was roughly his age. But the girl sounded a bit more mature.

“What’s going on?” Long Chen guessed that she had been waiting behind the boulder for a long time. The reason why he had never noticed her was because he had been focused on the Second Commander. Still, he didn’t know why she was here.

“I know you are suspicious of me, but there’s no reason to be wary. I was the one who injured the Devil Earth Dragon. I chased after it, though you were the one who benefited from it.” The girl stopped ten meters away from Long Chen.

Long Chen was surprised. She looked young, yet she had emerged unscathed from fighting the Devil Earth Dragon! Didn’t that mean that she was at least at the Eighth River Stage? Only Lin Zichen of the imperial family was at that level!

“I know who you are. You are Long Chen, correct? News of you has been spreading throughout the Cangyang Kingdom. I don’t want to meddle into your affairs, but I need to tell you that a hidden wound will remain in your body if you don’t have an advanced Earth-tier spiritual herb. It will affect your cultivation later on. I have one, but I want to trade it for the Beast Soul of the Devil Earth Dragon.”

Long Chen sighed.

The trade favored him a lot. She could’ve just taken it from him, and he wouldn’t have been able to fight back. The Beast Soul belonged to her originally too, since Long Chen had stolen her prey.

He took out the Soul Collecting Bead from his Universe Pouch and threw it to her.

The girl took it and passed Long Chen a jade box. “Refine it as soon as possible. The dwarves are already preparing to move against you. They swore that they will capture you before the army does. I remember there being an Eighth River Stage cultivator amongst them. You better prepare yourself.”

The girl left afterwards.

“Thank you.”

It was clear that the girl was helping them. Not only had she given him the spiritual herb, she had even given him important information. Her identity was not important for now, because they had a bigger problem.

“Brother Chen, what should we do?” Ling Xi shivered in the night wind.

“Let’s continue our escape. Xiaolang, we still have to rely on you.” Long Chen eyes were unyielding. He never feared the dwarves.

Xiaolang was somewhat ashamed because he had failed to protect Ling Xi properly, resulting in Long Chen being injured. Now that he saw he could be useful, he transformed back into his battle form and allowed both Long Chen and Ling Xi onto his back.

Long Chen recalled the map in his mind and pointed in a direction. Xiaolang started to run again.

While they were escaping, Long Chen opened the jade box and saw what spiritual herb it was.

“Advanced Earth-tier, White Lotus Core.” The faint scent of lotus surrounded them.

“Xiao Xi, the spiritual herb smells just like you.” Long Chen chuckled.

Ling Xi lowered her head sadly.

“It’s because of this stupid scent that we were attacked by them today.” Ling Xi bit her lips, hating herself.

“What are you thinking, you idiot?” Long Chen patted her head and looked up at the sky. After fighting throughout the night, the sun was slowly rising, painting the sky red. He looked back and saw the golden sunlight covering the land.

“Xiao Xi, remember this …” Long Chen smiled. His face was illuminated by the sunlight, making him look radiant.

“All of the enemies and difficulties I will face in the future will be my driving forces to become stronger. One day, I will step on everyone and destroy all obstacles. You will then see that the person you love is the strongest person in the world!”

Ling Xi looked at him with adoration and awe.

She took care of his wounds while they escaped.
