Dragon War God - Chapter 617 - Final Struggle

Chapter 617 – Final Struggle

Long Chen wasn’t afraid of the Fengyun Group because they were trapped in the Nine Spirit Purgatory for so long.

He had obtained even more information about Long Yue from the cultivator. The man had told them that he last saw Long Yue yesterday and didn’t know where she was today, but he was certain that she was nearby. If Long Yue wasn’t captured yet, then Long Chen and the youth would have spotted them immediately since having numerous people chasing after a single cultivator would’ve roused a huge commotion.

Long Chen and the youth separated but maintained a distance of a hundred meters so that they were always in each other’s sight. They then started combing the area. Both of them started panicking after learning that Long Yue was in danger, but they weren’t afraid of the Fengyun Group. Both of them were born for battle and didn’t even fear the Martial Alliance, much less a group of bandits.

Gray clouds covered the sky as a cold wind blew past the wasteland. The gray earth stretched all the way to the horizon as if there was no end to it.

Long Yue was tired. She had spent most of the time running away from her pursuers after she was thrown into this place half a month ago. She had already used up most of her essence, so she was relying solely on her willpower to run now.

She had fallen numerous times, so her clothes were dirty. Her clothes were also covered in blood from both herself and others.

Long Yue felt dizzy and accidentally fell down again. Her body told her that she needed to rest, but the presence of pursuers spurred her to wake up again.

“No, I cannot stop, or I will really die.” Behind her were the people from Fengyun Group. At first, they wanted to capture her to satisfy themselves, but after Long Yue killed some of their partners, their greed and hatred had amplified many times. Long Yue knew she would be done for if she was captured.

Long Yue had never thought she would die in this place and in the hands of people like them.

She gritted her teeth and stood up. Her red face was now pale from exhaustion. The wounds inflicted by the Martial Overlord and her constant usage of her essence had left her on the brink of collapsing.

She didn’t know how much longer she would be able to handle this, but she still gritted her teeth and continued forward. Even so, the obscene laughter and angry shouts were getting closer and closer.

Long Yue felt fear for the first time when she heard those bestial shouts. She had always been fearless and didn’t cower when she confronted the Martial Overlord, but the people from Fengyun Group were like demonic beasts after suffering in the Nine Spirit Purgatory for so long.

Her strength was nearly exhausted and she couldn’t last any longer. The more she used the last remaining bit of her essence, the faster she felt her dizziness coming back again.

“What should I do to escape this?” Long Yue despaired. She wasn’t afraid of death, but she was afraid of not finding her brother here. If both of them died in this place, the Dragon clan would go extinct. She felt ashamed for letting her ancestors down.

The dizziness grew stronger and her vision blurred. Her legs went limp and she hit the ground again. This time, she didn’t crawl back up. Her pursuers saw that she was down for good and immediately ran towards her.

When Long Yue crawled up again, the group had encircled her. There were five men, and all of them were wearing tattered clothes. Their hair was a mess and looked like beggars, but their auras were stronger than Long Yue’s because they had Royal Crystals.

All of them were glaring at her with hatred and lust. One of the skinny men approached her as he panted. His eyes were filled with intense desire.

“Long Yue, I actually yearned for you ten years ago. I thought I lost my chance when I was imprisoned in the Nine Spirit Purgatory, but I never thought you would end up here too. You once defeated me, and now you even killed members of the Fengyun Group. I will make you pay for everything here today!” Visitt nov𝒆lbin(.)c𝒐/m for the l𝒂test updates

The man’s shirt was in slightly better condition than the others because he was the leader of the Fengyun Group. He had a supply of Royal Crystals, so no one could defeat him. He always took most of the Royal Crystals for himself.

Long Yue knew that without Royal Crystals, they wouldn’t have lived for so long. The Nine Spirit Purgatory was a barren place, but she had learned that many of the prisoners spent their time digging because there was a chance they could get a King Crystal or two if they were lucky.

It was all thanks to the buried Royal Crystals and the occasional new prisoners bringing in Royal Crystals that they were able to survive until today.

Long Yue smiled as she glared at Feng Zhiyun. “I thought you were already dead, not surviving like a zombie here in the Nine Spirit Purgatory. Do you think you’re great for bullying the people here? Everyone here is weak and pitiful. You are accomplishing nothing by bullying them.”

Long Yue’s taunt hit a sore spot. Feng Zhiyun knew that no matter how glorious he was in the Nine Spirit Purgatory, he was nothing but a joke to outsiders.

“Fine! I, Feng Zhiyun, love to bully the weak, but so what? You are now in my hands. Don’t think that I will let you off so easily. Ten years … I haven’t tasted a woman in ten years, especially one of your caliber. I never thought I would have the luck to experience this again. Once I’m done with you, I will let my brothers savor you too! I won’t let you die easily—I will use you as a tool for as long as I live.”

“Thank you, Boss!” The other four became excited when they heard that Feng Zhiyun was going to give them a chance too. They were also tempted by Long Yue’s beauty.

Brothers shared everything.

But Long Yue was not afraid. She chuckled and shook her head. “No matter what you do, you will always be a loser to me. A lowlife piece of trash.”

Long Yue wasn’t afraid of them, as she could just kill herself before they touched her, but she was disappointed that she was unable to find her brother.

Feng Zhiyun was angry after getting insulted by Long Yue so many times. He shouted angrily, “Go! We’ve wasted two Royal Crystals just for her! We cannot waste any more!”

“Yes, Boss!” The four men revealed lecherous looks and pounced towards her. After so many years, even their attacks had become pitiful.

Long Yue didn’t have enough essence to do much, not even to use the Dragon Soul Transformation. But even without it, she had her base strength as a Third Earthly Martial Stage cultivator.

“Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw.” Using her physical strength and the last of her essence, Long Yue decided to go all out. Killing one more before she died was more than enough.

Long Yue’s final struggle was even more fearsome than they had thought. The Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw was a strong attack that intensified even more when she attacked recklessly. The four men who hadn’t had a real battle for a long time were pushed back.

“Die! Five Piercing Dragons!” Long Yue wanted to kill Feng Zhiyun, but to her surprise, he asked his followers to block the attack.

Even so, with enough Royal Crystals, Feng Zhiyun’s followers could defend themselves from an injured Long Yue with no essence. Feng Zhiyun could even ensure his safety.

Long Yue mustered all of her remaining strength and used the Five Piercing Dragons. Four of the dragons attacked the four men while the final one charged towards Feng Zhiyun, but the latter had miscalculated. Long Yue’s final desperate attack was not something a regular First Earthly Martial Stage cultivator could block. Feng Zhiyun was shocked when he saw his four followers’ necks cut open with heavy slash wounds, causing blood to be sprayed from their arteries.

“No!” Feng Zhiyun used all of his strength to block Long Yue’s final attack. He had underestimated her strength, which resulted in the deaths of his followers.

After using the last of her strength and killing four of the men, she fell to the ground without any strength left. She couldn’t fight back against Feng Zhiyun anymore; her strength left her body and her consciousness faded.

The only thing she heard was Feng Zhiyun’s angry shouts. His four followers had helped him a lot, and after spending the last ten years together, he had formed a brotherly bond with them, but now they were dead.

Feng Zhiyun suddenly stopped shouting and laughed. “Fine. They are all dead. That means I get to enjoy Long Yue on my own. She’s all mine now. I have even more Royal Crystals to use now that they’re dead. Not bad. Not bad.”
