Chapter 690: Battling Feng Xuan
“Dead?” Feng Xuan looked at him with surprise. She could tell that Long Chen wasn’t the type to lie. Based on his cold and stern glare, Feng Xuan sensed that it was true.
“He has many things, making him as strong as Zhao Wuji. Yet he died by your hand?” Feng Xuan had to reevaluate Long Chen with fresh eyes.
Zhao Danchen was a scumbag. A true scumbag with madness in his personality. But Long Chen was different—he had the qualities of both a wolf and a venomous snake. Compared to Zhao Danchen, who was like a fierce tiger who used brute force, Long Chen was much scarier.
Long Chen did not answer Feng Xuan. If this woman suddenly asked him to leave, she surely had her reasons. He smirked and said, “Tell me the truth. Did you notice something strange with this tombstone? Are you planning to study it? You’re worried I’ll disturb you, so you’re asking me to leave?”
“You also know that this tombstone has a secret?” Feng Xuan was even more surprised. Long Chen was right—she had been studying the tombstone intently but was interrupted. She also knew that killing Long Chen would require a huge amount of effort, so she wanted to continue delaying their battle.
But Long Chen saw through it.
“Don’t you know? There used to be a Heavenly Phoenix here.”
“And then?”
“I killed it.”“You killed it too?” Feng Xuan found him to be more and more mysterious.
She faintly remembered that when they first met, Long Chen did not possess the strength to defeat her and was forced to run away. But it had barely been two months. She suddenly realized that he was actually the most terrifying person in the Divine Martial Empire. Long Shan, Zhao Danchen, and Zhao Wuji were all incomparable to Long Chen.
He could suppress his anger, was young, patient, calm, and decisive with killing. These were all good qualities forged from his long journey of cultivation!
“So does that mean that you’ve learned the combat technique hiding in the tombstone?” Feng Xuan’s expression gradually turned cold.
“Do you usually talk so much nonsense?” Long Chen grinned.
“Alright.” Killing intent appeared in her eyes. No matter how patient she was, when she faced Long Chen, she could not wait any longer.
“In that case, there’s nothing else for me to say. If I eliminate you, the Ancient Token shall be mine. And this combat technique will also be mine …” Feng Xuan had always liked young juniors with great potential such as Zhao Danchen and Huangfu Yu. However, Long Chen, who used to be not outstanding at all, made her feel fear!
“Same. If I kill you, everything will belong to me, Long Chen!” Long Chen said with a smirk. He paused, then he continued, “Do you still remember when Xiaolang and I attacked you? When I was far weaker than you? Let me show you the power of us brothers today!”
“Xiaolang?”
While Feng Xuan was puzzled, black flames sprayed out of Long Chen’s chest. They twisted quickly around Long Chen like a storm, soon blocking out the sun!
Flames usually represented high temperatures, but these black flames were the opposite. Feng Xuan sensed that the surrounding temperatures were falling to extreme lows!
Whoosh!
The black flames dispersed and a pitch-black demonic wolf appeared by Long Chen’s side. The wolf was muscular, with sharp teeth and claws. It was burning with black flames, and two deep and cold flames replaced its pupils. This made the demonic wolf look like it had come out of hell. Compared to Long Chen, it was even colder and more frightening!
Very soon, the Sun Devouring Wolf’s body shrank down to the size of a horse. Although doing this decreased his strength, Xiao Laang gained a lot of speed!
“Category Four King-tier!” Long Chen discovered that after refining the demonic core of the Heavenly Phoenix, Xiaolang had successfully reached the Category Four King-tier. Xiaolang had gained a lot from the ancient Phoenix blood in the demonic core. It was even more beneficial than some of the Category Five King-tier beasts!
Previously, the two brothers were pathetic before Feng Xuan. Now it was time to wash away their humiliation!
A human and a wolf. One on the left and the other on the right. One with blood-red eyes and a violent aura scarier than the Ancient Demon Corpse. The other with a dark and cold gaze. Both of them were powerful and radiated strength that shocked Feng Xuan!
She furrowed her brows, slowly sensing that this was going to be a difficult battle!
“Does this mean you want me to fight?” Feng Xuan asked coldly. A cold breeze occasionally blew in Sky Isle. Her long dress billowed in the wind, revealing her fair legs. She did not look like a woman in her thirties at all.
Long Chen and Xiaolang looked at each other.
This was the start of a fiery, passionate battle.
Long Chen still remembered that this terrible woman had almost killed Huangfu Qi, and if he had not risked his life to go to the Immortal Sea, the child wouldn’t have survived. She was willing to kill a young girl like Huangfu Qi just to make herself stronger. It showed just how evil Feng Xuan was!
“Since you killed Zhao Danchen, it means you have the right to fight me too!” Feng Xuan said with a cold smirk.
Long Chen and Xiaolang charged at Feng Xuan at the same time from the left and right. Although their attacks looked chaotic, they were working together seamlessly!
When she saw them charging at her, her expression soured!
Two unlikeable brats! Don’t blame me for this, then … This ignited rage within her. Feng Xuan also moved quickly, using a body combat technique similar to Willow Step.
Long Chen did not dare let his guard down in the face of a Fifth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator! He chose a strong offensive strategy with Xiaolang, where they would overwhelm Feng Xuan in the shortest time possible!
When he was near her, he immediately used his most powerful technique, the Blood Devouring Domain, which spread out across the area. Under Long Chen’s control, only Feng Xuan was influenced while Xiaolang remained safe!
Blood-red mist spread across the whole square. This was Feng Xuan’s first time seeing him use this divine technique. Just like his other opponents, the huge sucking force acted on her body. Despite her Fifth Earthly Martial Stage essence, she was not immune to this force at all!
What the hell is this? A domain-type divine technique? Or a domain from the Heavenly Martial Realm? He’s only at the Earthly Martial Realm, so he surely doesn’t have the Heavenly Martial Realm’s domain. Then it must be a divine technique. But how could a regular divine technique be this powerful? Feng Xuan spent twenty percent of her essence just to keep her boiling blood under control. She could not use this portion at all, or her blood would go out of control and start moving erratically through her body. And if she used a powerful technique that required her essence, it would cause complications!
The formation of the Blood Devouring Domain shocked her from the beginning.
Then Xiaolang charged as fast as he could and arrived in front of her instantly. Cold Nine Devils Ancestral Fire burned on his four limbs and teeth, and he pounced on her. His sharp teeth and claws glinted with a chilling light!
Demonic beasts had great physical strength. Some people were not as strong as beasts despite having cultivated strong body tempering techniques. Furthermore, Xiaolang was a Category Four King-tier beast, so he was stronger than the Heavenly Phoenix!
What made him even more terrifying was the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire on his claws!
“What kind of fire is that?!” Feng Xuan was shocked again. She had seen this fire once before and was very well aware of how scary it could be. That was why she did not face it directly and used a technique that turned herself into an illusion. She brushed past Xiaolang, causing him to land on nothing!
By this point, Long Chen had already rushed up to Feng Xuan and leaped forward. He flew like a sharp blade into Feng Xuan’s defensive range!
“Wind God Style!” This was the most powerful move of the Wind God Kick. Long Chen’s endless kicks flew like a storm. Even though Feng Xuan had powerful attacks, it was difficult to use them when she was restricted by the Blood Devouring Domain, so she was forced back consecutively by his kicks!
“Roar!”
After Xiaolang’s first miss, he turned abruptly and pounced on Feng Xuan again. Demonic beasts had their own combat techniques, and he was no exception. The Sun Devouring Wolf possessed great strength, so every swipe and pounce was as powerful as a combat technique!
“Bastard!” Feng Xuan was furious to be forced back like this at the start of the fight! When the duo surrounded and attacked her, she suddenly spun!
“Three Thousand Illusions!” This was Feng Xuan’s most mysterious technique. A storm blew around her, and three thousand illusions were released. Long Chen and Xiaolang were blown backwards!
Then the storm materialized into more than three thousand humanoid figures that looked like they were made of the wind and could disperse at any time.
But they did not disperse.
The three thousand illusions were her three thousand clones. Under her control, the dense crowd of illusory figures swarmed at Xiaolang only, as if she wanted to separate herself from him. After they successfully surrounded him, she looked at Long Chen and said, “You brat, it’s your turn to die!”
As she spoke, a powerful gust of wind blew around her.
Long Chen squinted.
Feng Xuan was no idiot, so she knew to use the Three Thousand Illusions against Xiaolang. However, Long Chen was not worried. The illusions could not trap Xiaolang now, as the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire would make short work of them!
