Chapter 39 – The Wicked Talent Long Chen
At last, the day’s drama had truly drawn to a close.
The fate of the Yang family had turned away from destruction thanks to Long Chen. Not only did he hurt the two hopes of the Bai family, the Yang family managed to retreat without any casualties because of him. The Yang family now looked at him in a completely different manner.
They looked at him with admiration, gratitude, and even a bit of fear.
The Yang patriarch had just been betrayed by his good friend and his whole family had almost died. He didn’t want to speak to the Bai patriarch and led the Yang family out solemnly.
Yang Xueqing was still wearing her red bridal gown.
When they exited the gates, Long Chen followed behind the group while Yang Xueqing and Yuntian walked in front. Long Chen’s focus was completely on Yang Xueqing, and he didn’t pay any attention to the conflicted Yang Yuntian.
On one hand, Long Chen had heroically saved the entire Yang family. On the other hand, memories of Yang Yuntian’s son flooded his mind.
He had watched his son grow up and witnessed every joy and tear he shed. More than half of his life was filled with Yang Zhan’s memory. And Yang Zhan had died because of Long Chen …
Zhan’er, Zhan’er! When will I get to avenge you? He can kill a man in the Seventh Draconic Stage! I promised Father I wouldn’t touch him before the Demon Hunting Tournament but now that it’s over …
After tonight, I won’t be a match for him again. I will never be able to kill him and avenge you!
Zhan’er, what do I do? Do you hate him? Yes, I hate him too but he saved the Yang family …
They were only twenty steps away from the entrance of the great hall that Long Chen destroyed. No one noticed the Yang Yuntian’s internal conflict the entire time.
Everyone was too relieved to have survived the ordeal. Even Long Chen had momentarily forgotten that Yang Yuntian was still his nemesis.
As memories of his son flooded through his mind, the hatred in Yang Yuntian’s heart grew slowly. When he thought that he’d never have a chance to beat Long Chen after tonight again, his face paled and he clenched his teeth with a manic look on his face!
He was just two steps ahead of Long Chen. Yang Yuntian suddenly turned and struck Long Chen with his Meteor Fist. At such a short distance, all Long Chen could do was lift his arms to block Yang Yuntian!
The unexpected strike sent shockwaves through Long Chen's body, throwing him back into the air, out of the Yang family contingent and towards the Bai family!
Everyone was startled by this turn of events, then the Bai family burst into hysterical laughter. The Yang family glared at Yang Yuntian in fury. "Second Brother, have you gone mad?!" cried Yang Xueqing.
But there was no time to reprimand him. The Yang patriarch, Yang Qingxuan, and Yang Xueqing sprinted after Long Chen as fast as they could!
Although Long Chen had blocked Yang Yuntian’s strike, he was injured and so could not control his body mid-air.
While still in mid-air, he realized that the Bai family members would be waiting at the spot where he would land!
Long Chen was like a fish delivered right to their doorstep for slaughter! The Bai family hated Long Chen to the bone, especially Bai Zhanxiong and Bai Zhanlong, who would flay Long Chen alive if they could. Why would they ever let this chance to kill him go?
Long Chen had been greatly startled. The three Yang masters chased after him but it was too late. He turned quickly but he already saw the excited smirk on the person closest to him–Bai Zhanxiong!
A black tornado swirled powerfully on Bai Zhanxiong’s finger, ten times more powerful than Bai Shiji’s Abyssal Heaven Finger!
Long Chen was stunned. He heard the panicked advice from Yang Xueqing and the others behind him. The residual energy from the Meteor Fist dispersed and he immediately formed the Dragon Seal!
His actions shocked everyone even more–they were even more insane than consecutive Meteor Fists. Each hand was independently forming a Vast Dragon Seal!
Yang Xueqing was ghostly pale when she saw that Bai Zhanxiong was unleashing the Abyssal Heaven Finger and almost lost all hope. But the powerful aura of two Vast Dragon Seals instantly radiated from Long Chen. This strong aura shocked all three of the Yang masters! Double-handed Dragon Seals? How’s that possible? I can’t even wield the Vast Dragon Seal this accurately!
The Yang patriarch was filled with shock because it was utterly unbelievable.
He’d found the Dragon Seal in a mysterious location years ago and had used the Vast Dragon Seal for many years since. But he’d never realized that the Vast Dragon Seal could be used this way!
Long Chen knew it was because of the mysterious dragon jade. Thanks to it, Long Chen had mastered the Vast Dragon Seal quickly and even innovated new ways of using it and achieving perfect control!
He moved extremely quickly despite being mid-air. When Bai Zhanxiong thrust a finger forward to unleash his First Finger of Devil Transformation, Long Chen’s eyes glinted coldly and he pushed his hands forwards, unleashing a tsunami of power and the pale red force turned into two overlapping dragon images!
Long Chen’s attack collided with Bai Zhanlong’s Abyssal Heaven Finger, causing a powerful explosion!
The force of the blast slammed Long Chen into the wall. The wall shattered and threw a cloud of dust into the air!
Bai Zhanxiong rushed forward to intercept Long Chen!
Long Chen wasn’t hurt but Bai Zhanxiong had caught up to him. Although Bai Zhanxiong was a lot stronger than him, Long Chen was not the kind of person to admit defeat so easily!
The Yang family members had just arrived. The Yang patriarch stopped Yang Qingxuan, and then chased after Yang Chen. Yang Xueqing shot forward faster than he did because she was worried about Long Chen.
The Yang patriarch couldn’t stop her in time so he rushed over too. The Bai patriarch led Bai Zhanfeng out of the great hall through the hole in the shattered wall and immediately stood in front of the Yang patriarch and Yang Xueqing. They were challenging the Yangs to duels.
Yang Qingxuan stayed behind to protect the rest of the Yang family members. Bai Zhanlong, an Eighth Draconic Stage cultivator, stayed with the Bai Family. The combatants outside had already started to fight and despite Yang Qingxuan’s anxiety, Bai Zhanlong was preventing him from saving Long Chen!
The Yang family was lacking another Eighth Draconic Stage cultivator, which was why Long Chen was forced to face Bai Zhanxiong!
Leading the rest of his family, Yang Qingxuan glared coldly at Bai Zhanlong and moved to exit the great hall. Bai Zhanlong also led the fighters of his family out, pestering Yang Qingxuan endlessly. As long as Yang Qingxuan couldn’t intervene in the fight between Long Chen and Bai Zhanxiong, it was enough!
This time, the Bai family only had one target—Long Chen!
Long Chen’s performance had been too extraordinary and too arrogant. The Bai family were now aware of Long Chen’s shocking improvement in cultivation and his frightening talent. If they didn’t kill Long Chen now, he would kill the Bai family in two or three years!
Long Chen was a huge threat. They had to nip him in the bud so they could live in peace!
The Bai family members worked seamlessly together. The Bai patriarch blocked the Yang patriarch; Bai Zhanfeng blocked Yang Xueqing; Bai Zhanlong kept Yang Qingxuan occupied. All this so that Bai Zhanxiong had enough time to kill Long Chen!
Both families had migrated outdoors by now. Since it was a high-level battle, people like Yang Lingqing couldn’t intervene. All they could do was watch.
The huge commotion drew the wedding guests who hadn’t passed out from alcohol over. When they saw the situation, they were full of disbelief and started speculating loudly. "What… What’s going on? Didn't the two families join in marriage? Why do they look like enemies now?"
"The Bai patriarch is fighting the Yang patriarch; that’s … Bai Xueqing and Bai Zhanfeng; that’s Bai Zhanxiong but who’s his opponent?"
"Isn’t that the kid from the Yang family who made a name for himself recently, the third Yang lady’s son? How is it possible that he’s fighting Bai Zhanxiong?"
"Oh my, what’s happening to this world?"
"Look, the Bai patriarch and Bai Zhanfeng look like they’re just keeping their opponents occupied. It looks like he’s the Bai family’s true target. But why do they want to kill him? I heard he was the one who castrated Bai Zhanxiong’s son. Is that true?"
"The two families are fighting because of that?"
"From what I can see, the kid’s definitely going to die."
The Yang family watched the fight anxiously, furiously glaring at Yang Yuntian. Yang Yuntian was the reason for the battle.
Even Yang Yuntian’s daughter, Yang Lingqing, looked at her father in disbelief. "Father, I know he caused Elder Brother’s death but it wasn’t intentional. And he saved the whole Yang family today! How could you do this?"
Yang Yuntian was filled with guilt from his daughter’s questions and his kin’s furious glares. All he could do was look away, not daring to face them. Suddenly, everyone gasped in surprise. Yang Yuntian turned to look and was shocked. "Primordial Dragon Seal?!"
"How is that possible? The kid’s only in the Sixth Draconic Stage, how could he wield the Primordial Dragon Seal?"
"What?"
Even the Yang patriarch and Yang Xueqing, who were fighting the Bai patriarch and Bai Zhanfeng in a panic, looked at Long Chen in shock!
Long Chen was using the Primordial Dragon Seal—a technique that only members at the Eighth Draconic Stage could master! Long Chen couldn’t be human!
When they saw the Vast Dragon Seal, the family knew that if they didn’t kill this superhuman prodigy that night, he would probably kill the whole family in the future. "He is a devil that defies the heavens. If I were one of the Bai family, I would kill this inhuman genius too!"
"But both families have always had a cordial relationship. Unless this is over the right to rule?"
"That’s probably it."
Bai Zhanxiong’s eyes grew wild when he saw that Long Chen was using the Vast Dragon Seal.
The young man’s talents were so great that he felt both jealousy and fear. He felt like he was looking at the Long Qinglan of the past once more. Bai Zhanxiong’s heart was filled with resentment but at the same time, the violence within him ignited! "You brat, you must die!"
"Abyssal Heaven Fingers! Nine Yellow … Rivers!"
