Dragon War God - Chapter 561 - Let Him Go
Chapter 561 – Let Him Go
Long Chen had stayed back only to keep an eye on Long Yue for her safety. He had not expected Jiang Wushang to attack.
Long Chen had previously caused major losses to the Ancient Demon Domain, and as the Young Master of the Ancient Demon Domain, Jiang Wushang’s hatred for him was far more intense than Jiang Wuxie’s.
That was why his very first attack was heavy-handed.
“Although your True Martial Demon Body is decent, the strongest body tempering technique in the Ancient Demon Domain is the Ancient Demon Body!” Jiang Wuxie smirked coldly. Based on Long Chen’s moves, he guessed that his opponent wasn’t capable of killing a Second Earthly Martial Stage cultivator.
What he did not know was that Long Chen never lost to opponents who had as much Qi as himself due to the Blood Devouring Domain. After using the Dragon Soul Transformation, the enormous amount of Qi in his body became comparable to the essence of a First Earthly Martial Stage cultivator.
The fight for the Red Emperor Seal would only last a short time, so Long Chen had to resolve this battle quickly.
That was why he immediately used the Blood Devouring Domain!
Blood-red mist enveloped Jiang Wushang. The unbeatable and terrifying technique left him stunned.
To be honest, he had seen Long Chen use the Blood Devouring Domain before, but he had not expected it to be this powerful. A strong sucking force was acting on his body, causing his blood to boil. It was as if every drop of blood in him had grown sentient and wanted to break free from his control to return to nature outside.
He had no choice but to use his essence to suppress his blood.
The moment he did this, almost half of his essence could no longer be used.
As a result, Long Chen was one step above Jiang Wushang in terms of strength.
“Is this some kind of satanic technique? When faced with true power, tricks like this are insignificant!” Jiang Wushang calmed himself down and did not slow down at all. He did not even glance at the Demon Illusion clone behind him and charged towards Long Chen, turning into a shadow.
“Ancient Demon Body!”
The Ancient Demon Body was powerful. He used his essence to suppress his blood while he threw a powerful punch at Long Chen. It was indeed no simple technique.
Long Chen was not an idiot, so he did not choose to face his foe’s attacks directly.
He quickly dodged the attack while the Demon Illusion clone approached Jiang Wushang. If Jiang Wushang continued to attack, he would be in an unsafe situation.
His only choice was to dodge.
“You’re looking for death!” After Jiang Wushang avoided the clone’s attack, he turned around and came back. The clone caught up to him and unleashed the Heaven Sword Array in his direction!
The clone’s Heaven Sword Array was naturally much weaker than Long Chen’s real attack. However, since part of Jiang Wushang’s strength was being spent on suppressing the Blood Devouring Domain, the Heaven Sword Array was a considerable threat to him!
“This clone is annoying! I’m going to destroy it now!” Jiang Wushang snickered coldly without a hint of fear. He clenched his fists and performed a punching routine. This was exactly the same as the Ancient Demon Punch technique that the Demon Emperor had previously used. Now that Long Chen was so close to Jiang Wushang, he could see it even more clearly.
Faint silhouettes so numerous that they covered the sky appeared behind Jiang Wushang, then they shot into his fist when he threw his final punch. Then a terrifying black Fist Seal erupted from his fist. Long Chen felt as if he saw the face of the devil on the Fist Seal!
“Have you finally used your ultimate attack?” Long Chen gave a faint smile. After his clone used the Heaven Sword Array, he recalled it before it sustained any damage. Then the Heaven Sword Array and Jiang Wushang’s Ancient Demon Punch collided. Although Jiang Wushang had only used half of his strength, it was an intermediate King-tier combat technique, something that Long Chen’s clone couldn’t withstand. Therefore, the clone’s attack was quickly shattered.
“It may have looked good, but it was useless! This is within my expectations!” Jiang Wushang snickered and threw more punches until the whole Heaven Sword Array dispersed and stopped.
But was this the end?
The moment the clone’s Heaven Sword Array dispersed, the real Long Chen’s Heaven Sword Array appeared. It was more than ten times more powerful! Blood-red flames burned brightly above the dense storm of sword symbols! DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()/lbin(.)com
The scorching flames stunned Jiang Wushang. He knew that Long Chen’s swords did not bear flames before, so he wondered how they had come about. Furthermore, he sensed a terrifying regalness coming from the flames.
“Heaven Sword Array!”
Another Heaven Sword Array fell, and this one was even more terrifying. Loud whooshes accompanied the endless storm of sword symbols shooting toward Jiang Wushang!
The Eagle Martial King was no match for this attack, even without the Blood Devouring Domain. Jiang Wushang did not fare much better; although his Ancient Demon Punch was powerful, he was unable to invest all his power into the technique. Under the battering of Long Chen’s sword symbols, the Ancient Demon Punch was completely destroyed!
The endless sword symbols and blood-red flames forced Jiang Wushang to stop his Ancient Demon Punch. Then they swarmed around him and started attacking him fiercely!
Long Chen planned to kill Jiang Wushang, but now was not the time. Jiang Wuxie was just too powerful. Long Chen did not want to burden himself and other people before he was strong enough to kill Jiang Wuxie.
Jiang Wushang was shocked to find himself trapped, then Long Chen stabbed his Desolate Cleaving Sword into his abdomen and slammed the back of his head, causing Jiang Wushang to faint from the pain. Of course, this injury was not fatal.
Even Jiang Wushang was absolutely shocked by this outcome.
He never would have imagined that the final wave of Long Chen’s Heaven Sword Array was this powerful. He had already cultivated an intermediate King-tier technique, but that was not enough to defend himself against the Heaven Sword Array!
“How is that possible …”
Before he was knocked unconscious, Jiang Wushang’s expression was full of disbelief.
But the pain in his abdomen told him that this was all real.
Of course, Long Chen was only able to do this because he had access to the Golden Crow’s power. The boost it provided was immense. So far, it had increased Long Chen’s combat abilities by several times!
Defeating Jiang Wushang was no surprise to Long Chen. He held Jiang Wushang in a backhanded grip and stood in front of the immense Black Waver Viper carcass, waiting. Several explosions occurred within the carcass, indicating that there was an intense battle unfolding inside. The Red Emperor Seal must have been found.
After waiting for fifteen minutes, several large holes tore open on the Black Water Viper’s skin and several people rushed out. They were the Demon Emperor and the two Demon Saints, and they had excitement written all over their faces. They had clearly retrieved the Red Emperor Seal.
Finding the Red Emperor Seal in the viper’s carcass required luck; therefore, Long Chen was not surprised to see that the Demon Emperor had gotten it. He was even happy with this outcome, though he knew that the enmity between them would deepen greatly this time.
Then Long Yue and the Martial Alliance members also emerged from the carcass and surrounded the Demon Emperor and the Demon Saints. Yang Ningfeng’s expression was dark as he said, “Demon Emperor, you are also a subordinate of the Martial Overlord. Let me take the Red Emperor Seal back to him; I know he will reward you generously!”
The Demon Emperor laughed dryly and said, “Who said I found the Red Emperor Seal? Did you see me take it? If I don’t have it, how could I give it to the Martial Emperor?”
Yang Ningfeng’s expression darkened even more. “Jiang Wuxie, do you really want the whole Ancient Demon Domain to be taken over? If you want to continue barely surviving, you need to be smart and hand it over.”
“If you’re talking about the Red Emperor Seal, which I do not have, you must know that we, the Ancient Demon Domain, are not afraid. Do your worst.” The Demon Emperor stood his ground stubbornly. The fact that the Ancient Demon Domain could still live on despite the threat of the Martial Alliance meant that it was no simple faction. The Demon Emperor definitely had some sort of trick up his sleeve.
Long Yue spotted Long Chen at this point, and her eyes lit up when she saw him holding Jiang Wushang. She immediately went to his side, which attracted the others’ attention. Everyone suddenly saw the unconscious Jiang Wushang in his hands, as well as blood dripping from his abdomen, which had stained a large patch of his clothing!
“Wushang!” Jiang Wuxie’s chest tightened when he saw his son. Thankfully, Jiang Wushang was not dead, or he would have gone mad. He had finally raised a son who could take over his role after twenty-plus years. If he had died just like that, Jiang Wuxie would’ve blown his top off.
After some thought, they all knew what had happened. Long Chen and Jiang Wushang must have taken the opportunity to fight while everyone else was fighting over the Red Emperor Seal. n Jiang Wushang ended up losing and was now his hostage.
“This is the Long Chen from the rumors; he worked with Jian Chen to kill the Void Martial Saint,” a middle-aged man whispered into the Martial Emperor’s ear.
Yang Ningfeng’s expression was solemn as he studied Long Chen closely. “He possesses great combat abilities at just the Ninth Passage Stage. This is exceedingly rare. Doesn’t this mean he will be able to fight a Second Earthly Martial Stage cultivator once he enters the Earthly Martial Realm?”
“I guess so.”
This is a prodigy, yet the Martial Alliance is unable to use him, and he has decided to join the Dragon clan. The only solution is to kill him as soon as possible so we can rest easy … Yang Ningfeng made his decision.
This teenager made him extremely nervous.
The Martial Alliance side was already radiating killing intent, but the Ancient Demon Domain members were even more furious. The Demon Emperor glared at Long Chen coldly and said, “Let him go, or I will shatter your bones.”
Long Chen was not afraid. He said calmly, “Let him go? That’s an easy matter, but I won’t do this without a gift in return. I’ll let him go, and you’ll give me the Red Emperor Seal. What do you think?”
