Chapter 382 - Black Wind Sword Technique
Dongfang Xuanxiao was right. Long Chen was indeed going after Yang Danfeng!
Long Chen had used the Soul Swallowing Gaze earlier and saw Yang Danfeng hiding three hundred meters away! This confirmed that tonight’s events had been arranged by Yang Danfeng and maybe even the three Demon Elders!
Every dragon had a reverse scale, and touching it meant death!
Long Chen would not have been this furious if Yang Danfeng had attacked Wang Xing. But he had targeted Dongfang Xuanxiao! Dongfang Xuanxiao was an elder worthy of Long Chen’s respect. Anyone who touched him, no matter who it was, would end up dead! It was only a matter of when!
The most powerful person in the Heavenly Demon Palace was Zhao Qingyun. Yang Danfeng had targeted his son-in-law and had been caught red-handed by Long Chen. Therefore, Long Chen knew that no matter what he did, Zhao Qingyun would definitely support him, which was why he decided to disregard everything and go for the kill. It didn’t matter if the sky fell—Zhao Qingyun would be there to hold it up, so Long Chen was not afraid!
That was why he had asked Wang Xing to call Zhao Qingyun over. He was not afraid of anything with a Heavenly Passage Realm master protecting him.
When Yang Danfeng realized that Long Chen was there, he was shocked. His mind raced and he instantly thought of someone. His face reddened and he clenched his teeth. “It must’ve been that bitch, Murong Yu! She must have told him my plan! Murong Yu! I can’t believe you openly disobeyed your master! You’re so dead! I can’t wait to watch you die when the Demon Elders find out about this!”
By the time Yang Danfeng spoke to himself, He Tian had already been killed by Long Chen. When Yang Danfeng saw that his plan had failed, he was about to sneak off, but to his utter surprise, Long Chen knew his location and was charging over to kill him!
How the hell does he know where I am? Yang Danfeng gasped. He didn’t think he could not defeat Long Chen, but didn’t his presence prove that he was the one who had brought He Tian here? If Zhao Qingyun found out about this, then Yang Danfeng would be dead. With that thought, Yang Danfeng turned around to flee, but a black shadow rushed in front of him with a loud boom, blocking his way!
Yang Danfeng had been tortured by Xiaolang once in the Pyro Passageways. Xiaolang had the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire and Divine Fire Clone, which had left Yang Danfeng traumatized. He thought of running off in a different direction, but Long Chen appeared behind him with his Star Sword in hand!
“Long Chen, why are you blocking me? Do you think it’s that easy to bully me? Let me tell you this. Get this demon wolf out of my way, or there will be casualties!” Yang Danfeng knew he could not run, so he opted to dish out threats!
Long Chen’s expression was so dark, it was scary. Without a word, he raised the Star Sword and pointed it directly at Yang Danfeng. Even Yang Danfeng felt a little scared when he saw Long Chen in this state.
“Xiaolang, this is a duel to the death. Do not intervene,” Long Chen said coldly as blood-red scales covered his body. His transformation was instant, and his sharp, bony spikes made Yang Danfeng’s scalp go numb!
Long Chen’s Qi was boosted by ten times thanks to the Dragon Soul Transformation, so he was now on par with Yang Danfeng! Both of them had Eighth River Stage strength!
When he fought Song Zhongcheng, Long Chen used Blood Sacrifice to force his Qi to level up to the Eighth River Stage. Right now, however, he truly had the combat ability of an Eighth River Stage cultivator!
Yang Danfeng was startled to find that the aura that exploded from Long Chen’s body was as strong as his. He felt very irritated at Long Chen’s arrogance, so he glared and said, “Does this mean that you’ve decided to fight me? Long Chen, I don’t want to fight you. Don’t pick a fight you’re sure to lose. If I hurt you, I don’t know how I’ll explain myself to the Palace Lord.”
“A fight I’m sure to lose? You sent someone to kill my stepfather. This is a blood grudge. If I had been just a second slower, I would have regretted this all my life. The only way to cleanse this grudge is with your blood!” Long Chen’s eyes glinted fiercely.
“What do you mean by that? What evidence do you have?” Although both parties knew, Yang Danfeng would never be stupid enough to admit it. Long Chen had no evidence, so he could stubbornly refuse!
“Evidence? The evidence is in my sword. Yang Danfeng, I will take your life today!” Long Chen stepped off the ground. With a whoosh, he turned into a blood-red shadow that shot towards Yang Danfeng and swung the Star Sword straight at his head!
“Do you think you’re the only one with a sword?” Yang Danfeng smirked and took out a huge sword from his Universe Pouch. It was heavy, all black, and well over a meter long. He gripped it with both hands and brought it down on Long Chen!
“While I am best at the Abyssal Piercing Finger, I’m also good with the Black Wind Sword Technique!” Yang Danfeng knew that Long Chen was not holding back. Since he had never been one to willingly be trampled on by another person, he had no choice but to react, and he slashed with all his strength!
When the swords collided, a deafening sound of friction rang out! Their Qi levels were equal, so both of them were sent flying!
When Long Chen was thrown back, there was a cold glint in his eyes and he gently stepped on a bamboo behind him, then he shot right at Yang Danfeng!
Yang Danfeng was startled. In a direct collision, Long Chen’s Star Sword was actually the inferior weapon compared to his. However, Long Chen was not hurt at all, and he bounced back instantly!
“It looks like you’re not going to give up until you die. Black Wind Sword Technique, Manic Wind Storm!” Yang Danfeng’s face darkened. His sword vibrated hard, then turned into a shadow that rained attacks on Long Chen like a manic storm!
No wonder he’s an Eighth River Stage prodigy. He’s definitely no average cultivator! Although Long Chen looked like he had lost his mind, he was calm. When Yang Danfeng’s Black Wind Sword Technique arrived, he used Traceless Demon Shadow to dodge the attack instantly. At the same time, his Divine Fire Clones exploded from him, and 125 clones instantly pounced on Yang Danfeng, who was now trapped in a very small area!
He knows this bizarre technique too! Yang Danfeng had seen Xiaolang’s Divine Fire Clone, but didn’t expect Long Chen to know it as well. However, Long Chen’s Divine Fire Clones only possessed Sixth River Stage strength, so they were easier to fight!
“Do you think you’re the only one who knows Traceless Demon Shadow? I do too!” Yang Danfeng used Traceless Demon Shadow. After countless years of study, his mastery of the technique was only almost on par with Long Chen!
When the technique was activated, the clones could no longer find his location. He wove through them like a black shadow, and every time he slashed with his sword, he killed one clone. Long Chen knew that the clones were no longer effective, so he retracted them.
“Have you admitted defeat?” Yang Danfeng stopped and smiled. “Then this matter has come to a close. Nothing happened anyway. I won’t hold a grudge against you for stopping me today. Farewell!”
“Do you think you’re dreaming?” Long Chen appeared in front of him in a flash.
“Long Chen, I admit that you’re decent, but if I fought you with my full strength, you would be no match for me even if you used every ounce of your strength! I’m holding back because of your master, but a dog can jump over the wall when it’s cornered[1], so don’t blame me!” The corner of his mouth curled up into a smirk.
“Oh? Then let’s see how you, the dog, will jump over this wall!” Long Chen mocked him.
“You’re looking for death!” Yang Danfeng felt like he was showing Long Chen mercy for not engaging in battle. However, the brat was not intelligent enough to see it and had even insulted him! Yang Danfeng was furious!
“You’re the one looking for death, so you cannot blame me for this! Long Chen, let me show you what the Demon Seed Planting Technique is like! You’ll die when I double my strength!” Black smoke rose from Yang Danfeng’s body, which was a sign that his Demon Seed had merged with his Qi!
Yang Danfeng’s aura intensified until it was double the previous level. Thick, black mist swirled in his eyes, making him look demonic.
“Do you think you can defeat me when I am in this state?” Yang Danfeng chuckled coldly. His speed had doubled, and he instantly appeared in front of Long Chen and swung his sword!
Long Chen laughed coldly and slashed the Star Sword horizontally. His opponent’s enhanced strength sent him flying backwards, knocking down many bamboos before he finally stopped.
“What’s the matter? Do you finally understand how strong I am?” Yang Danfeng asked smugly.
“Is that the best you can do?!” Long Chen was not hurt at all. He chuckled coldly, then, to Yang Danfeng’s shock, the same thick, black smoke rose from Long Chen’s body and his aura also intensified. An instant later, he reached Yang Danfeng’s level!
“I’m so sorry. I’m not very familiar with the first stage of the Demon Seed Planting Technique yet. However, it’s enough for me to take your life!” Long Chen said with a faint smile.
“What?” Yang Danfeng took a step back in disbelief. Had Long Chen mastered the first stage of the Demon Seed Planting Technique in three days?
Was Long Chen a monster?
