Chapter 37 - Die Together!
Yang Xueqing’s self-sacrificing ambush shocked the whole Bai family. Her target, Bai Zhanxiong, could not defend himself because he was too close. He never expected Yang Xueqing would make such a suicidal attack!
The Yang family was heartbroken!
Although they knew that their entire family might perish, watching a family member die before their eyes was still gut-wrenching, especially to the Yang patriarch and the others. Their faces paled instantly! “Xueqing! Get back here!”
Despite the Yang patriarch’s stern cry, Yang Xueqing had already made up her mind. Why would she stop? In her view, only her surging Qi and the smug grinning Bai Zhanxiong remained!
It was at that moment that the wooden red door blasted into pieces, knocking down the guards. Under the shocked gaze of the group, several teens rushed into the great hall. The one in front kicked the guards who blocked them so hard that the guards were thrown back against the hall’s giant dragon pillar!
Jaws dropped when they saw the faces of the teenagers.
The Bai family looked at the unexpected guests in disbelief. Even the scheming Bai patriarch’s eyes were wide with shock. He drew a sharp breath in horror.
The Yang family still felt like they were in a dream, especially Yang Qingxuan and the others. They had believed their children were dead but here they were, alive and well! It was a huge surprise, hardly anyone could prevent themselves from hyperventilating.
The sudden return of hope was so abrupt that their faces remained frozen!
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Long Chen and three others stormed coldly into the great hall.
Yang Wu grasped Bai Shidong’s neck. Bai Shidong looked terrified and trembled uncontrollably. Bai Zhixing’s life was in Yang Lingqing and Lingyue’s hands. Long Chen held Bai Shiji and Bai Shichen up by their collars in one hand and dragged them into the hall!
Bai Shiji and Shichen were bleeding profusely, both ghostly pale from blood loss. Two long trails of blood followed behind Long Chen!
The Bai family was both horrified and in shock over such a scene.
The fathers present, including Bai Zhanxiong, were especially shaken. His heart ached to see his son barely breathing with only a shred of life force left.
Bai Zhanxiong looked at Long Chen in disbelief, which slowly morphed into a terrifying killing intent!
When Yang Xueqing saw Long Chen enter and met his solemn gaze, she stopped her attack and stared at him in a daze. The Yang patriarch took this chance to pull her back.
Yang Xueqing was still in a dream-like state.
Everyone disappeared in her vision. All that remained was this teenager, whose eyes were filled with arrogance and contempt, dragging the spoils of war with him as he sauntered proudly into this hall that belonged to the masters of the Bai family!
Deep regret filled Yang Xueqing’s eyes.
Long Chen had seen her attempt to attack Bai Zhanxiong.
Before Long Chen had arrived, he’d received an unbelievable piece of information: Yang Xueqing had betrayed the Yang family. His heart couldn’t take it. However, now he saw that it was only a lie Bai Shichen had told Lingqing to win her over.
Long Chen’s heart relaxed a little.
When he saw the Yang family’s faces and conditions, he knew they had already been poisoned. He had interrogated Bai Shidong and knew what the poison was. He also knew that the Bai family had the antidote to the Nightmare Flower!
Bai Shidong and Bai Zhixing were still conscious. When they realized that they were back home, they screamed in panic, “Father, Grandfather, save me! Save me!”
Yang Wu and the others were anxious too, especially Yang Lingqing and Lingyue. But when they saw Long Chen standing unyieldingly in front, the two girls calmed down.
At that moment, everyone could see that the leader of the Yang family youths was no longer Yang Wu but the rising phoenix, Long Chen!
Bai Shichen and Bai Shiji were both teenage elites at the Seventh Draconic Stage, with Bai Shichen considered the best prodigy of Baiyang Town in twenty years. Long Chen now held up these two chosen ones in his hands as though they were dead dogs–that meant he had defeated them both!
The thought was so unfathomable that almost no one believed it. The Bai family accepted the outcome of the Demon Hunting Tournament; they had lost.
The Bai patriarch stood up from his seat, glaring sternly at Long Chen. A powerful aura pressed on Long Chen as he asked coldly, “Looks like you’ve got some tricks up your sleeve if you managed to ambush my family! I commend you for your cunningness! But do you think this will help you when you’re in front of us? You’re looking for death!”
The Bai patriarch’s heart ached to see the two prodigies of the Bai family hurting like this.
Black blood sputtered out of Bai Shiji’s mouth, indicating that he had sustained severe internal injuries. Even if they managed to save him, he would need more than a year to heal, and his cultivation would deteriorate during the process. Bai Shichen’s face was a dark red as he clutched his crotch, twitching in pain. Everyone could see that he had ended up like Bai Shixun.
The destruction of their lineage was a terrifying, infuriating concept to the Bai family!
Long Chen had already done it before, and they could still suppress their anger then, but he’d done it again!
The Bai family was furious to see their children in such a terrible state.
A middle-aged man from the Bai family who was nearest to Long Chen lunged at Long Chen instantly. It had to be one of Bai Zhanxiong’s younger brothers. Although Long Chen wasn’t sure who he was, he saw that the man was heading towards him with the Abyssal Heaven Fingers. Long Chen smirked coldly.
The Yang family gasped when they saw the Bai man’s ambush. The Yang patriarch and the rest knew Long Chen’s cultivation potential and all wanted to save him even if it meant a suicidal move!
In particular, Yang Xueqing’s emotions had received a huge shock, changing her as a person. The Bai Zhanxiong she admired had turned into the devil; the children she praised, Bai Shichen and Shiji, had turned into traitors. In turn, Long Chen’s position in her heart had risen!
Yang Yuntian finally peeled his eyes off his daughter when he saw that she was unscathed. He was very proud of her display of courage. But his face changed when he turned to look at Long Chen!
His son’s suicide and the incident today might be two different matters but the loss this middle-aged man suffered was heartbreaking!
The Bai family members smiled when they saw someone attacking with such good timing. They all knew Long Chen’s cultivation level. Long Chen could have only beaten their children because he used some dishonorable tricks.
They never once considered that they were the truly dishonorable ones!
Long Chen and the others had been worried that someone would stop them before they reached the great hall, so they had snuck into the Bai estate by climbing over a wall. The rest of the wedding attendees outside were completely unaware of the drama inside the great hall!
“Careful!”
They couldn’t save him in time, so all the Yangs did was warn him anxiously. Long Chen was certain that his opponent’s mastery of the Abyssal Heaven Fingers was almost the same level as Bai Shiji. But …
Long Chen smirked and lifted Bai Shichen and Bai Shiji up, casually placing them in front of him. At the same time, he let his other hand fall, and a pale red current quickly concentrated on his palm, swirling fast!
When he saw Bai Shichen and Bai Shiji blocking the way, the man using the Abyssal Heaven Fingers paled and quickly retracted his attack. The Bai people behind warned him sternly, “Zhanyun! Careful!”
Bai Zhanyun froze. Long Chen put Bai Shichen and Bai Shiji down to reveal his grinning face. Bai Zhanyun noticed the slyness in his smirk and in the next moment, an image of a pale red dragon blasted into his chest. Bai Zhanyun spat out a mouthful of blood and his face paled instantly!
Bai Zhanyun was thrown more than ten meters back and crashed into the wall with a loud boom. When he fell, he was no longer breathing!
Bai Zhanyun was dead!
“The Vast Dragon Seal?”
The name of the attack popped into everyone’s heads. Everyone knew exactly when Long Chen received the Dragon Seal and they also knew the level of expertise it took to control the attack with just one hand!
In the Yang family, there were only three people who could wield the Vast Dragon Seal so casually with one hand!
Yang Xueqing was the most surprised of them all. She stared at the teenager in a daze and saw the burning confidence in his eyes. He seemed to counter the pressure of so many masters of the Bai family on his own. He was just like Long Qinglan had been years ago! Were you and your father sent here to torment me?
When she thought about Long Qinglan, it no longer seemed surprising that Long Chen could use the Vast Dragon Seal with one hand and kill a Bai family member at the Seventh Draconic Stage with just one strike.
To her, both Long Qinglan and Long Chen shone brightly when they displayed their talents and stood out among their peers.
Bai Zhanxiong had lost dreadfully to Long Qinglan years ago.
The Yang family had been shocked by his mastery of the Vast Dragon Seal. However, the Bai family had been shaken by Bai Zhanyun’s sudden death, which quickly led to a tsunami of anger!
Bai Zhanyun was the Bai patriarch’s beloved youngest son and had been about to attain the Eight Draconic Stage; they couldn’t believe that he died just like that!
The atmosphere turned hostile very quickly. Every Bai member at the Eighth Draconic Stage and above erupted with power and suffocating pressure on Long Chen. He remained calm, his hand continuing to squeeze Bai Shiji’s neck.
“If you all want to see the Bai family’s little prodigy die … Bai Zhanxiong, if you want to watch your son die by my hand, I welcome you all to try that again! I guarantee that all four of these people will die before you take your next breath! You all can kill the whole Yang family but your children will die with us! I’m curious to see if the Bai name will still live on without them!”
