Chapter 714 – Kill With One Strike
Chapter 714 – Kill With One Strike
Feng Xuan had left a mark on Long Chen when she died. That was how the two Wind clan members knew that Long Chen had once killed a clansman. Both of them glared at him with bloodlust, then charged at him!
Both were at the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage. Long Chen could kill one if he fought as hard as he could, but the other person would be a problem. He didn’t know what other special tricks the Wind clan had. That was why he was prepared to run. In a situation where strength was insufficient, the best solution was to run.
However, both of them could pinpoint Long Chen’s cultivation level. He was only at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage, so only one person was needed to deal with him. Therefore, one of them suddenly retreated and smirked. “Brother, this guy is only at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage. I’ll leave it to you. He has another partner over there too!”
The partner he mentioned was Shao Yu!
After he spoke, he sped up and charged at Shao Yu!
With his capabilities, he could definitely kill Shao Yu in one second!
Long Chen did not expect this to happen, and his mind went blank. Everything had happened so fast. He charged as fast as he could towards Shao Yu, but the Wind clan member had already arrived by Shao Yu’s side. Shao Yu’s eyes were filled with panic as the man gently pressed his chest with his palm!
“Long ...” His Adam’s apple moved, but he did not finish uttering Long Chen’s name before collapsing. His breath was gone. Even in death, he had a confused expression. After Long Chen had saved him twice, he thought he was safe and free from danger. He finally had a plan for the future, but he did not expect to die when he was so close!
“Shao Yu!” Long Chen was left in a daze and his world shattered. He stopped and looked at Shao Yu’s body. The whites of his eyes were slowly covered in blood vessels and a violent aura erupted from him!
“Die!” Shao Yu’s death triggered Long Chen’s rage and hatred, and he drowned in deep self-blame. If it weren’t for him, Shao Yu would not have died. But also, without Long Chen, Shao Yu would have died a long time ago!
Perhaps this was fate. People with terrible fates still ended up the same, no matter how hard they fought!
Long Chen’s mind was blank as anger rushed into his brain, filling his whole world with blood. He had not been this furious in a long time. The last time this happened was when Feng Xuan was preparing to steal Huangfu Qi’s Heavenly Wind Veins. This time, it was because they had killed a friend!
“You all shall die!” Blood-red scales covered his whole body and an even stronger aura erupted from him!
“Oh? You’re a Beast Warrior too? What demonic beast is your Beast Soul Origin?” The two Wind clan members did not take Long Chen seriously at all.
“Who knows? And it looks like this brat plans to fight us hard? How interesting. Haven’t you already learned how large the gap between each cultivation level is?”
“Which of us shall deal with him?”
“Me, of course. You’ve already killed one. Don’t take this guy from me.”
“Haha, alright. He’s yours. But that fat pig just now really was weak. This little brat looks tougher. Play with him for a while; don’t kill him so quickly like I did!”
Both of them laughed as if no one else was present. They did not take Long Chen seriously at all. One of them turned into a fast-spinning tornado as he laughed and charged at Long Chen. Shimmers coming from the tips of blades flickered in the tornado!
“Tornado Strike!” The man used one of his best moves. How dare Long Chen kill a Wind clan member? If that person even planted a mark on him, it was clear how much the victim hated Long Chen! That was why the Wind clan cultivator had decided to use this technique to torture Long Chen to death!
But he had underestimated Long Chen.
After using his Dragon Soul Transformation, he possessed endless power. Long Chen had killed a Sixth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator before, so he could surely do it again, especially when his opponent underestimated him. They were very close to a city claimed by the Wind clan, so Long Chen knew he could not stay for long.
You’ve already passed away, so I cannot save you no matter what I do. In that case, let me avenge you ... Long Chen smiled bitterly to himself.
A bright, cold light burst from his eyes and his right arm erupted in flames. The fire-red Burning Heaven Seal in his palm suddenly lit up. His Martial Meridian was filled with flames now, and the gigantic image of the Burning Heaven Seal appeared in his palm!
“Burning Heaven Seal!”
When his opponent charged at him, Long Chen immediately used his best attack. He even used the Blood Devouring Domain at the same time to suppress the man’s essence. Such an aggressive attack instantly made the magnificent cultivator look laughable.
After the Blood Devouring Domain was activated, he pushed out the Burning Heaven Seal!
Rumble!
“What?” The man, who was in the middle of launching the Tornado Strike, was startled by the Blood Devouring Domain. Before he could react, Long Chen aimed the Burning Heaven Seal at his head!
“How could he be this strong? That’s surely an Emperor-tier technique!” Both men were stunned. They initially looked down on Long Chen, but now their expressions were colorful, especially the one fighting. He was going to be directly hit with the might of the Burning Heaven Seal!
The heaven-encompassing seal flew down at his head!
“No!” After a tragic howl, his attack was completely drowned out by the Burning Heaven Seal and his body was turned into charcoal. He died without even leaving behind a corpse!
Long Chen had killed a Sixth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator with just one strike!
Long Chen was only at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage, but he could kill enemies two levels above him. Long Chen was probably the only person who could do this in the whole Ancient Graveyard.
How scary was this to the other Wind clan member?
He initially thought that Long Chen would die easily like Shao Yu. How could he have known this would happen? After he saw his partner, who was similar in strength to himself, get killed so quickly by Long Chen, his first thought was to run!
The Wind clan’s Iron City was right in front of his eyes. The moment his partner died, he ran like a madman. The Wind clan had a great advantage in speed. If Long Chen did not use Blood Warp, he would not be able to catch up to him.
Blood Warp was more suitable for fleeing as it was too difficult to control if used for chasing down an enemy. If he was too fast, he would pass the man. However, Long Chen was unwilling to let an enemy go, especially when this man was the guy who killed Shao Yu. How could Long Chen ever let him live?
So he ran as fast as he could and gave chase!
But that was when a huge commotion came from Iron City. The people based there had already noticed the fight here, and they knew that a Wind clansman had been killed at their own doorstep. Enraged, several masters beyond the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage rushed over at lightning speed. If they arrived, Long Chen would never catch up to the other person.
“Damn it!” Those masters were surprisingly fast. In just an instant, Long Chen sensed that they were about to close in. Due to the delay caused by his previous battle, the other person had managed to run some distance away. Long Chen could not avenge Shao Yu before the others arrived!
“There’s a lot of time left. I refuse to believe that I can’t kill you one day! And the rest of the Wind clan!” There was a cold flash in Long Chen’s eyes. He returned to Shao Yu’s side and put his body in the Primordial Realm. Before the masters of the Wind clan arrived, he used Blood Warp and turned into blood-red light, disappearing into the horizon!
The masters could not find Long Chen at all!
“Who was that?”
“Investigate this matter now! How dare he harm our men right in front of our city! He is truly insolent! Check which faction he is from! If he’s not from the Nine Great Clans, destroy his whole faction!”
“Yes, Sir!”
***
After putting Shao Yu’s body away, Long Chen traveled for a very long distance. He turned around and saw that the city had disappeared. There was a silhouette the size of an egg far away on the horizon. That was likely the Wind clan’s Iron City.
He clenched his teeth, feeling bitter.
Although he had performed very well since his arrival in the Ancient Graveyard, he still felt like he was not strong enough. How could he face the people of the Nine Clans at this level? How was he going to save Xiaolang? Getting to the Royal Territory was going to be even more difficult!
I shouldn’t overthink it. I’m going to focus on cultivation after burying Brother Shao Yu! The ground was quite hard in the Metal District. Long Chen spent a long time searching before finding a fairly secluded spot. He buried Shao Yu, then, in front of his grave, Long Chen sighed and said, “The world is like that. The strong eat the weak. Since your life has not been favorable, I hope you’ll get your peace after death.”
He stood silently before the grave for a very long time before he finally left.
Long Chen did not know where to go next. His logic told him that he had to find a safe spot to cultivate, then only come back out when he was strong enough. That way, he would have a higher chance of keeping himself alive. But Shao Yu’s murderer was still alive. This was a thorn in Long Chen’s heart.
Without another thought, Long Chen set off toward the Wind clan’s Iron City!
