Dragon Blooded War God

The stand-off between both sides began.

After Zhao Danchen spoke in a contemptuous tone, the tension in the air rose. The Martial Alliance clearly did not take the Battle clan seriously. That was why their icy expressions quickly turned into mocking sneers the moment they arrived.

When Zhao Danchen called the Battle clan cowards, they all burst out in laughter, pointing at Lei Zhen and the others.

“Does the Martial Alliance need to resort to childish insults? The Martial Alliance is the number one faction of the Divine Martial Empire, yet your behavior is nothing but embarrassing. It really is difficult to believe,” Lei Zhen said after a cold chuckle.

“What?” Zhao Danchen had a personality similar to Long Chen’s; he was more talkative and never lost a verbal fight. He continued, “What do you mean, number one faction? There is only one faction in the whole Divine Martial Empire, and that is the Martial Alliance! The other factions are just our dogs! As for the laughable Battle clan, it will also soon be one of them.”

The term “dog” cut deep into the warriors’ hearts. Every Battle clan warrior’s expression grew icy. There was a deep enmity between them!

The Martial Alliance was the archnemesis of the Battle clan!

“The duel has not begun; the results have not been set yet. Don’t you celebrate too early,” said Jiang Wuya, who was standing next to Lei Zhen.

Zhao Danchen’s gaze fell on Jiang Wuya. He suddenly thought of something and laughed. “Dragon clan! You guys are clowns who think too highly of yourselves! If you weren’t all cowards that did nothing but hide, you would have been dead by now! You guys are being very nosy here.”

“The Martial Alliance has always been arrogant; you have never taken anyone seriously. You, Zhao Danchen, are even more violent than the rest of the lot! We’re here for no reason other than helping the heavens enforce justice!” Jiang Wuya said proudly.

“Helping the heavens enforce justice? Hahaha! Alright, Dragon clan! It seems you’re unaware, but your dragon has lost its head!” Zhao Danchen broke into the grin of a madman.

The moment he said that, the whole Dragon clan shuddered, including Long Chen. Did Zhao Danchen mean that Long Yue was dead? Everyone paled for a brief moment.

“Don’t believe him! Don’t let him get to you! Long Yue isn’t stupid, how could she be killed?” Jiang Wuya said hurriedly, slowly pulling them out of their grief. They realized he was right; how could they trust what Zhao Danchen had said?

When Zhao Danchen saw that their reactions were mild, he laughed even more with a perverted look in his eyes. “Looks like you don’t believe me. That bitch Long Yue wanted to enter the Nine Spirit Purgatory to save her younger brother, but she didn’t expect that it would alert my master, the Martial Overlord. How could she hope to run from someone as powerful as him? In the sky above Martial Overlord City, my master stripped Long Yue naked and humiliated her for three days and three nights! Then she killed herself! It was a magnificent sight! Just imagine … Beneath the beautiful moonlight, two naked bodies twisting in the air while ten thousand people watched from below …”

Zhao Danchen spoke with no restraint, and his words made every Dragon clan member’s eyes turn red. Their breathing grew rugged, especially Jiang Wuya’s, whose eyes had turned blood-red. He was the one who cared most about Long Yue. If this was true, his world had collapsed.

Sky-high killing intent rose from every Dragon clan member, with the strongest intent coming from Jiang Wuya. He seemed to have lost his mind and turned into a crazed wild beast.

There was no question that Jiang Wuya liked Long Yue, or he would not have betrayed the Ancient Demon Domain and become a stray together with her. Usually, he never spoke much with Long Yue, but Long Chen could tell that the look in his eyes resembled the way he looked at Ling Xi.

It was love coming from the depths of the heart.

That was why Zhao Danchen’s words were a huge blow to Jiang Wuya.

Long Chen panicked.

“That’s nonsense! Who would believe your lies? If such a major thing had really happened, we would have learned about it a long time ago! Do you think you’d be the one to tell us? Zhao Danchen, don’t you need to think your lies through before telling them? And my Big Sister is no weakling! If she wanted to kill herself, do you think Martial Overlord Zhao Wuji would be able to stop her?” said Long Chen.

He was the only one whose wits were still intact. He did not believe Zhao Danchen at all since there were simply too many flaws in the story. Plus, it was clear that Zhao Danchen was only trying to affect the Dragon clan’s combat abilities.

Long Chen’s words successfully snapped everyone to their senses. Jiang Wuya and the rest privately thought to themselves that it was close. If Long Chen had not spoken, they would have likely fallen into the trap. Long Yue had taken great care of them; if anything happened to her, they would likely lose their minds and pounce on Zhao Danchen immediately.

And they would then fall into his trap.

Zhao Danchen and Yang Ningfeng were two Martial Emperors of the Martial Alliance. Long Chen’s team wasn’t even close to their level. Zhao Danchen was an utterly shameless person.

When Zhao Danchen saw that his trick had failed to work, he was not disappointed. Instead, he chuckled smugly. He said with a grin, “It looks like at least one of you isn't an idiot. Not bad, not bad! Your name is Long Chen, right? Probably a descendant of the Long family too. The Long family has three descendants, and two are already in the Nine Spirit Purgatory. They’re probably going to be there for the rest of their lives!”

Long Yue was also locked in the Nine Spirit Purgatory?

That was probably true.

If that was not the case, how would anyone know that Long Yue had gone to Martial Overlord City, considering how skillful she was at hiding? The only way Zhao Danchen could’ve made up that story was if he knew that Long Yue had gone there.

Jiang Wuya, Jian Chen, Long Chen, and the others looked at each other. Long Chen was more collected than the rest, and he was currently the strongest fighter on their side. Somehow, he had become the rock of the group, so he said, “I don’t care if that is true; we will deal with it after the duel! Zhao Danchen is a slippery trickster; we must not let this affect our duel! Big Sister may not be in trouble! We shouldn’t worry when we don’t know what the truth is!”

Everyone nodded. What Long Chen had said made sense. Worrying now was useless as the Martial Alliance was a gigantic obstacle. Even the strongest among them, Long Chen, was far from their level! If Yang Ningfeng had not set up this bet to avoid using military force, they would not even be able to talk to these people!

“Especially you, Second Brother. You must trust Big Sister.” Long Chen was most worried that Jiang Wuya’s mental state would affect him during his fight.

“Don’t worry, I’m not a child,” Jiang Wuya said with a bitter smile, seeing as he was just lectured by Long Chen, who was twenty years younger than he was. He knew what he had to do.

Long Chen did not want to give Zhao Danchen any more opportunities to trick them, so he said to the grinning Zhao Danchen directly, “Since the time has come, let’s not waste time talking. Let’s begin the duels. I wonder, which First Earthly Martial Stage expert will represent the Martial Alliance?”

Zhao Danchen was nonchalant. He had only come here to hurt the Dragon clan using Long Yue’s situation. Now that his objective had been reached, he took several steps back, ignoring Long Chen. Yang Ningfeng was the one who had set this up; it was none of his business.

Snap!

A Martial King took out a luxurious, comfortable chair and placed it behind Zhao Danchen. He then invited Zhao Danchen to sit down. Zhao Danchen lay lazily on this lounge chair-type seat, squinting. He took a glance at Yang Ningfeng and said, “You’re the one who made the bet, so you deal with it!”

Although Zhao Danchen’s tone was rude, the usually arrogant Yang Ningfeng did not dare rebuke him. He nodded obediently, then he prepared for the start of the duel.

It was clear that although they were both Martial Emperors, the gap between their ranks was huge.

They were at the came cultivation level; however, Zhao Danchen was a prodigy and the Martial Overlord’s direct disciple. Was that enough for Zhao Danchen to order Yang Ningfeng around?

Long Chen was puzzled, and when he saw Lan Ling’er next to him, he asked, “Sister Lan, how strong is Zhao Danchen if even Yang Ningfeng obeys him?”

Lan Ling’er put on a look full of disgust. “That brat is famous for being arrogant and violent; people get scared the moment his name is mentioned. He has done many terrifying things and is a very evil guy. However, he does indeed have the right to be arrogant, because he is very powerful. He is definitely number one out of the three Martial Emperors, and the Martial Alliance officially recognizes him as their second strongest member and the second strongest in the whole empire. If he wasn’t, how could the old Battle Emperor have been killed by him?”

“Is that so …” Long Chen and Zhao Danchen had a slight clash previously, but he did not know that this person was this strong.

Lan Ling’er gave a dejected look. “If we lose the bet today, many people are going to be killed by Zhao Danchen, including you and me. Very few people in the whole Divine Martial Empire are a match for that psycho!”

“Why?” Long Chen whispered.

“Zhao Danchen is very talented, and it is rumored that the Martial Emperor has passed down his intermediate King-tier combat technique, the Yellow Martial Divine Seal, to him! He has successfully cultivated it, and what makes it more terrifying is the Golden Combat Body that he was born with! As his cultivation level rises, the Golden Combat Body strengthens. This not only strengthens his physical body to the level of an intermediate King-tier body tempering technique, it also allows him to use many divine techniques such as the Golden Eye of Annihilation!”
