Chapter 604: Whirlwind Style
Long Chen, despite being targeted by Yang Ningfeng, did not even take one step back. With a manic grin on his face, he pointed a finger and made a come hither motion at Yang Ningfeng, saying, “Come here, little dog!”
“You’re looking for death!” Yang Ningfeng held a lofty position, yet he was being humiliated by Long Chen. He felt like his head was going to explode. He no longer cared if Long Chen qualified to be his opponent—he was completely filled with rage!
He shot a punch at Long Chen’s face!
He’s fast! Yang Ningfeng was very fast, even faster than Huangfu Fengchen’s fluttering techniques!
“Willow Step!” Long Chen’s feet left the ground, and after the punch, his feet moved quickly. He instantly turned as light as a willow seed!
Whoosh!
Yang Ningfeng’s punch seemed to carry an invisible gust of wind. The immense power approached Long Chen, and Yang Ningfeng assumed he would shatter his head with it. However, Long Chen suddenly turned as light as a piece of paper and was instantly blown away before he was hit!
“Willow Step!” Everyone was stunned, as they knew that Willow Step belonged to the Huangfu clan. Why did Long Chen know it? And how had he mastered it so well within such a short time?
Willow Step was an intermediate King-tier technique, on par with the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw. A cultivator could only learn it once they reached the Earthly Martial Realm. Of course, Long Chen, the inhuman prodigy, was an exception!
“Why do you have the Huangfu clan’s Willow Step? That bastard Huangfu Fengchen must have given it to you!” Yang Ningfeng asked hurriedly after blasting Long Chen away.“He gave it to me? Why don’t you give me your Wind God Kick? Are you that generous?” Long Chen laughed after succeeding on his first try. Of course, this was just acting. He knew that if this had been a true fight, he would never be able to beat Yang Ningfeng.
“Do you mean that you stole it?” Yang Ningfeng’s brows were furrowed.
“What I mean is, can you spout less nonsense while we’re fighting?” Long Chen did not want to continue this banter. He had to win, or he would die!
Whoosh!
After Long Chen was blasted away, the crowd watched as he turned into a ray of blood-colored light and charged at Yang Ningfeng!
“Blood Devouring Domain!” Blood Devouring Domain had a significant effect on Yang Ningfeng. Right now, Long Chen’s essence was equivalent to the Second Earthly Martial Stage, and other Second Earthly Martial Stage cultivators would need to use almost half of their essence to suppress their Qi in order to withstand the Blood Devouring Domain. Even a cultivator like Yang Ningfeng would need to use twenty percent of his Qi!
This blood-red space instantly weakened Yang Ningfeng by twenty percent!
Twenty percent was actually a lot!
Any single one of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon’s divine techniques was very impressive when utilized to its full potential!
The moment the Blood Devouring Domain appeared, Yang Ningfeng felt the changes in his body. His face changed as his boiling blood and Qi impeded the usage of his essence. He also had to focus part of his attention on withstanding the powerful gravity of the Blood Devouring Domain, causing him to become distracted!
Within the Blood Devouring Domain, the blood-red Long Chen became hard to spot, but Yang Ningfeng could still easily locate him. As long as Earthly Martial Realm cultivators were in contact with the ground, they were very sensitive to the movements in it. Although Long Chen was using Willow Step, he still used the ground for strength!
As long as he was standing on the ground, Long Chen would have a constant source of power!
“Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw!”
Whoosh!
The Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw was a technique good for close-range combat. Long Chen instantly approached his opponent and launched his attack, which turned into a blood-red dragon flying at Yang Ningfeng!
Pairing the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw and the Blood Devouring Domain, Long Chen was able to launch his maximum-power attack!
Swish, swish, swish!
His sharp claws turned into groups of Claw Seals that flew at Yang Ningfeng from all directions. Long Chen’s attack speed had far exceeded everyone’s expectations!
“How is that possible? He’s only at the First Earthly Martial Stage, but he is already that strong?”
“Looking at the strength of his essence, isn’t he at the Second Earthly Martial Stage?”
In the beginning, the Martial Alliance members only saw Long Chen as a joke at first. They did not expect him to be this frightening in battle. Other than Yang Ningfeng and Zhao Danchen, no one dared say that they could confidently defeat Long Chen!
“With time, this brat will surely become like the other Long Chen! He is a rare prodigy!” Even the Martial Alliance members started to praise Long Chen.
“Die!” The storm of Soul Dispersing Dragon Claws flew at Yang Ningfeng!
The Blood Devouring Domain had shocked Yang Ningfeng, and Long Chen’s powerful attack shocked him a second time!
After waking up from his shock, he realized that he would have to fight seriously in order to defeat and kill Long Chen to vent his anger.
“You damn brat! I must kill you today, no matter the cost!” Yang Ningfeng’s expression was cold. The Wind God Sect was famous across the Divine Martial Empire for its kicking techniques. The legs were much stronger than the arms as they contained Martial Veins and Martial Meridians. Therefore, when a cultivator mastered a kicking technique, it was more terrifying than an upper body technique!
“Wind God Kick, Whirlwind Style!”
While Long Chen used the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw, Yang Ningfeng did not hold back. Long Chen was just like a pouncing beast, but he shot out like a sharp blade!
Whoosh!
Yang Ningfeng’s long legs turned into flexible whips and collided with the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw. The dragon claws collided with his legs several times. They exchanged hits fervently, and in terms of retaliation and style, Long Chen was on par with Yang Ningfeng. The only disadvantage he had was his essence!
Every time they collided, Yang Ningfeng’s legs felt like mountains hitting Long Chen’s body. Long Chen held on bitterly because he knew he could not lose!
“Roar!” With a furious roar, Long Chen’s claw broke free from Yang Ningfeng’s kicks and instantly swiped at Yang Ningfeng’s neck. Long Chen had risked his life to make this move because he intended to kill his opponent!
No matter the cost!
“Die!” A beast-like voice rumbled from Long Chen’s throat!
“Die?” While attacking, Yang Ningfeng smirked smugly. He had to admit that Long Chen was an extreme prodigy, but the gap between them was huge. One was a master from the previous generation, while the other was a newcomer who had only recently risen to power. They were not on the same level!
Boom!
When Long Chen was about to touch Yang Ningfeng, Yang Ningfeng’s storm-like flurry of kicks landed on Long Chen’s abdomen. The powerful force sent Long Chen flying!
Fresh blood flowed from his mouth. The powerful force caused Long Chen to tumble many times on the ground, leaving behind a long, bloody trail. Long Chen struggled to dig his claws into the ground before finally stabilizing himself!
“Seventh Brother!” cried every Dragon clan member as their faces paled. They were about to run up to him when Long Chen climbed onto his feet with great determination. He raised his hand, gesturing for Lei Zhen and the rest to go back!
Seeing the bloody teenager standing straight, everyone’s eyes moistened.
They all hoped that Long Chen could win, but this was the Martial Alliance. How could a mortal beat such a huge superpower?
“Seventh Brother …” Everyone’s hearts rose to their throats when they saw this teenager stubbornly get back on his feet.
Yang Ningfeng hadn’t held back in his attack, and Long Chen had taken it directly. If it was not for the great defensive and regenerative properties of the dragon body, he might have died.
Withstanding the pain, Long Chen stood up and clenched his teeth, chuckling coldly. “Yang Ningfeng, you live up to the reputation of being one of the three Martial Emperors! You’re about… as strong as a woman!”
Yang Ningfeng licked his lips. He was quite impressed that the teenager could stand. But the more impressed he felt, the more he wanted Long Chen to die!
Under Long Chen’s control, the Blood Devouring Domain spread across the battlefield once more!
I was too rash just now, too impatient to win. I didn’t expect to give this old fart the chance to hurt me!
Long Chen knew what he had done wrong.
However, he still had no way to kill him!
Death was inching closer.
Long Chen paused. The strength of his opponent reminded him of Ling Xi. He knew that the girl was waiting for him, so he couldn’t die here!
I must not abandon those important to me and die! Especially not my woman! That is why I only have one way out of this, which is to kill Yang Ningfeng! I have no right to choose death! I, Long Chen, have two lives anyway!
His blood surged with passion.
Through the dragon scales, they could see his thick veins popping out of his skin, making him look terrifying. The killing intent of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon erupted from him. Even Yang Ningfeng feared this aura!
His blade-like claws swiped decisively at Yang Ningfeng once more!
The blood-red Claw Seals flew at Yang Ningfeng’s head like a magnificent red dragon!
Long Chen’s battle spirit dampened Yang Ningfeng’s spirit a little!
This brat is basically a natural born war machine! I must eliminate him!
With that thought, Yang Ningfeng began his powerful attacks once more!
“Wind God Kick, Typhoon Style!”
