Chapter 486: Emperor-Tier Combat Technique
In reality, the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake was only punishing them. If they escaped successfully, it would not chase them. Due to the woman blocking its strike, the man had managed to create a lot of distance. If he could get the Universe Pouch in her hand, he could leave unscathed!
When Fu Yang saw that the woman was about to land and the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake did not intend to chase after them, he looked ecstatic. He shouted excitedly and then pounced!
He could run the moment he snatched the Universe Pouch! He couldn’t care less about the woman!
When he was about to reach her, something unexpected happened. There was a sudden red flash, and something caught the woman. At the same time, a hand quickly searched her clothing. In less than a moment, the hand fished out a Universe Pouch from her voluptuous chest.
Fu Yang fell from heaven to hell in an instant!
“Who are you?! You’re looking for death!” Fu Yang roared in fury, then he pounced on Long Chen. Unfortunately, Fu Yang was no match for Long Chen in his dragon form. His Qi was on par with Fu Yang’s, and he had a super strong body. That was why when Fu Yang lunged at him, Long Chen dodged him in a flash using Traceless Demon Shadow, reappearing in front of Fu Yang.
“What?!” Fu Yang looked at the bony spikes and claws that had pierced through his internal organs in despair. He understood that he was about to die. Long Chen’s quick attack had caused him injuries as severe as the woman’s.
In just a flash, Long Chen was able to kill him. It was clear just how large the gap between them was!
“Who the hell are you?” Fu Yang looked at the Beast Warrior in front of him. His face was ghostly pale and he had lost all hope. “We’ve met twice. I’ll be taking the Black Emperor Seal. Thank you for telling me where the second layer of the demon world was,” Long Chen said with a grin.
When the man heard him, his eyes widened in disbelief. He remembered Long Chen, of course, but wasn’t he only at the Second Passage Stage? How was he this strong?
“You’re the three-time consecutive champion.” The man suddenly recalled someone at the last moment. At this point, he regretted underestimating Long Chen.
“I am. The first time we met, you helped me; the second time we met, you wanted to kill me. They cancel out. Since we’re both fighting for the same thing now, and no one must hear about the Black Emperor Seal …”
“Don’t kill me!” the man cried in panic, but it was too late. Long Chen twisted gently, and his neck snapped. Long Chen let go, and his body slumped to the ground. His eyes were still wide open in shock, even in death.
Long Chen’s icy stare turned to the woman, who was on the brink of death.
“Jiang … Jiang Cheng… Don’t kill me … I’m willing to be your woman; I won’t tell a soul! I’ll obey your every command … Please?” The woman had heard of Long Chen too.
Unfortunately, there was a woman Long Chen knew who was much more beautiful than she was.
“I, Long Chen, am not worthy of such an offer from a beautiful woman like you. Since you two could not love each other sincerely while you were alive, I hope you’ll do better in hell,” Long Chen whispered into her ear, his voice ice-cold.
One of Long Chen’s bony spines pierced through her heart.
In the end, she was still confused over the name “Long Chen.” His name was Jiang Cheng, so why had he called himself “Long Chen?” And why was the name Long Chen so familiar?
Someone named Long Chen was ranked third on the bounty board, and he was at one of the three Martial Realms. He was not that Long Chen.
In a very short time, Long Chen had taken two lives. He arranged their bodies so they were in a tight embrace, then he turned around. At this point, the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake was furious because it had caught yet another human causing trouble in its territory.
Something about Long Chen’s aura truly stirred its anger. Although it was faint, there was something terrifying about him. The Frostflame Twin Headed Snake was used to being king, so it refused to acknowledge the feeling of submission it evoked, and it flew into a rage as a result.
Furthermore, Long Chen had killed prey that belonged to it, right in front of it too!
There was thick tension in the air as the man and snake approached each other.
Long Chen knew that he was only one step away from completing his objective in the Seven Layered Demon World—kill the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake and ascend to the Fifth Passage Stage!
The Black Emperor Seal, which was one of the Five Emperor Seals, a Emperor-tier technique, had come as a surprise. It was a secret he could never make public, because if he did, he would be in mortal danger.
Masters were as common as clouds in the Ancient Demon Domain, and he was still part of the bottommost tier of society, or in the middle tier at most.
During the standoff, Long Chen took out the Demon Emperor Sword. There was no time to waste. Long Chen charged and swung the blade, sending a powerful blade of Sword Qi flying at the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake!
“Demon Emperor Sword Technique, Supreme Demon Sword!” The power unleashed by the Supreme Demon Sword technique could not be underestimated. A dense swarm of black blades flew at the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake!
The Frostflame Twin Headed Snake let out two screams, and both heads rushed towards Long Chen. Their jaws opened, then red fire and blue ice shot out of each mouth, which mixed together and clashed with Long Chen’s Supreme Demon Sword! The gigantic force it produced far surpassed the Supreme Demon Sword!
Rumble!
The Supreme Demon Sword attack dispersed from the impact, and the remaining fire and ice flew towards Long Chen. Long Chen gasped and quickly used Traceless Demon Shadow to dodge the residual waves of the impact.
The Frostflame Twin Headed Snake is strong! What a difficult opponent! Long Chen’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed. He had hoped to kill it in one strike, but it was not going to be easy. There were few openings for him to use the Heaven Sword Array, and if the snake survived the attack, it would be very difficult to kill it afterward. And the commotion would probably attract more people!
That was when he heard Xiaolang’s voice. “Big Brother, try getting close to it. I’ll try hitting it with my Nine Devils Ancestral Fire!”
It was indeed a good idea. If Xiaolang suddenly emerged from the Primordial Realm, he would catch the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake unaware, especially while using the terrifying Nine Devils Ancestral Fire. Xiaolang had become stronger, and so had the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire.
Long Chen grunted in agreement, then he used Traceless Demon Shadow to quickly approach the snake. Since his objective was merely to get closer, it was easy!
Whoosh!
The snake’s gigantic tail swept beneath Long Chen’s feet. Long Chen quickly leaped to dodge the attack, then he stepped off its tail and shot toward its heads!
The Frostflame Twin Headed Snake raged, and one of the heads suddenly turned and shot a volley of flames at Long Chen!
“Xiaolang!” The moment he shouted, Xiaolang leaped out of the Primordial Realm. The flames that he had been accumulating within him shot out all at once at the head. Since the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire was fundamentally a much stronger fire, the snake’s fire was swallowed instantly. Then the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire grew stronger and leaped on the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake’s red head!
This time, the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake could not react in time because Xiaolang’s appearance had been too sudden. Even the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire was very unexpected, so it completely engulfed the red head. The head was pulverized quickly!
The Frostflame Twin Headed Snake let out a hiss of agony at the pain of losing one head. If it was not still engaged in battle, it would have rolled on the ground in pain. However, it had no time to roll around, because it was Long Chen’s turn to attack right after Xiaolang.
“Heaven Sword Array!” A violent storm of Sword Qi was unleashed. The Frostflame Twin Headed Snake could not withstand it at all, so it was dead a moment later. Long Chen put its carcass away, not even wasting a drop of blood, then prepared to leave.
Before he left, Long Chen inspected the couple’s bodies but did not find any more Universe Pouches. Then he checked the Universe Pouches he obtained and found a black, normal-looking seal inside. He assumed that it was the Black Emperor Seal. Once he confirmed that he had obtained the seal, he said to Xiaolang, “Just to be safe, I think we need to destroy the bodies to destroy the evidence.”
Xiaolang nodded. Faced with the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, the couple disappeared completely.
“It’s too bad you destroyed the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake’s fire-type demonic core along with the head. It would have been useful for your growth,” said Long Chen, shaking his head with regret.
Then he set off to find a safe place to perform Blood Transmutation. After he reached the Fifth Passage Stage, he would leave this place and return to the Clear Shallows PAvilion.
I think training was supposed to begin on the day after the Demon Light Bath. Although the strict cultivation style of the Ancient Demon Domain is effective, it doesn’t suit me. I wonder if they will cause me trouble again when I return … I did stay in the Seven Layered Demon World for almost three days after all … thought Long Chen worriedly.
