Dragon-Blooded War God

This was a battle between Zhao Wuji and Long Shan, so Long Chen temporarily fell back from the frontlines and observed.

When Zhao Wuji arrived, he did not attack immediately. He looked calm, as if he was admiring his own garden, while studying Long Shan carefully without any visible emotion on his face.

Long Shan had been trapped for more than thirty years, and he had suddenly emerged on this day. This was very unexpected, yet Zhao Wuji looked very calm. This showed how resilient his mind was. The more mature an opponent was, the harder they were to defeat.

“Wuji, it’s been many years since we last saw each other,” Long Shan said mildly.

Zhao Wuji was silent for a while, then he finally gave a resigned, bitter smile. “Yes. It’s been many years.”

“You never expected me to be alive, right?” The longer Long Shan looked at Zhao Wuji, the worse his expression became. Zhao Wuji was Chen Xiong’s disciple, and hatred burned in his heart as he stared at the disciple of the enemy who had brought him the worst suffering of his life.

Zhao Wuji did not say anything. He only nodded.

He indeed thought Long Shan had died a long time ago, unaware that the latter had been in the Nine Spirit Purgatory all along.

Although Zhao Wuji knew how to get out of that place, he would never enter it.

Long Shan managed to suppress his desire to kill. He looked at Zhao Wuji for a while and said, “It’s been many years, and you’ve achieved great heights. Now that I’m back, you must understand that the Martial Alliance’s days are numbered. Although Chen Xiong is dead, I must take my revenge. The next time we meet, it will likely be war!”

Then he turned to leave.

“Wait.” Zhao Wuji held up one hand to stop Long Shan.

“You want to fight now?” Long Shan turned around with a flash of coldness on his face.

Zhao Wuji did not reply, but he suddenly dashed towards Long Shan. There was finally a flash of coldness in his clear gaze.

“Everyone, fall back!” shouted Long Shan. Long Chen and the others nodded and quickly backed away. Long Chen knew that Zhao Wuji would not let Long Shan go easily because if he could not kill Long Shan today, it would be worse the next time they met.

The two ultimate masters of the Divine Martial Empire met in the air, before the gazes of countless people. Both of them looked calm, and they did not use any fancy techniques. All they did was throw one punch each!

The punches looked very normal, and when they collided, there was no sound, as if they had merely bumped fists.

But the whole city shook gently from their mere punches!

Only cultivators at the Earthly Martial Realm could sense the faint vibration. Although it was faint, the way it had spread across the whole city made it clear how powerful the attacks were.

Even Long Chen felt scared.

The punches looked simple, but it showed how much control they had over their energy. Long Chen was unable to launch an attack where not a single drop of energy was leaked out. All energy was focused on one point, making it much stronger than most combat techniques.

Whoosh!

After the fists collided, both men were thrown back. It was clear that both of them were affected by the force, especially the Martial Overlord, who almost collided with Martial Overlord Palace before he stabilized himself.

He supported himself on the golden wall of the palace and looked up at Long Shan, panting slightly. On the other end, Long Shan had already stabilized himself. He looked at Zhao Wuji with a smile on his face and said, “Wuji, how do you feel after taking my punch?”

There was a tiny change on Zhao Wuji’s face.

He did not seem talkative today, and he did not reply.

The whole city saw that this mysterious old man seemed to be slightly stronger than Zhao Wuji!

Everyone was shocked.

Had someone more terrifying than Zhao Wuji appeared in the Divine Martial Empire?

Zhao Wuji did not speak. Did that mean that he had admitted defeat?

This was a huge blow to the Martial Alliance. The Martial Kings all surrounded Zhao Wuji and peered nervously. If Zhao Wuji fell, then the whole Martial Alliance would fall too.

“Remember this! The Long family will take back the Divine Martial Empire one day! Not just you, Zhao Wuji—every member of the Martial Alliance must remember this!” Long Shan laughed coldly, having won the fight with just one move.

Long Shan turned and left happily, leading Long Chen and the others.

This time, Zhao Wuji did not speak and no one stopped him.

“Who was that old man? Long family?”

“My goodness, he defeated the Martial Overlord …”

“Don’t jump to conclusions! They only exchanged one strike! It’s not clear who would win in a serious fight yet!”

“But why did the Martial Overlord not make him stay and fight him? Is he afraid?”

“What do you know? This is Martial Overlord City. The Martial Overlord is concerned about our safety. If they fought here, wouldn’t it flatten the whole city?”

Similar discussions erupted below.

The Martial Overlord had not been injured by the strike, but he had figured out Long Shan’s capabilities. Long Chen knew that Zhao Wuji was concerned about the city, and that was why he had decided not to fight Long Shan today. He was aware that the whole city would be destroyed if they went all out.

That was why Long Chen could leave smoothly.

“Grandfather, even the Martial Overlord couldn’t beat you! You’re amazing!” The gray-clothed teenager followed closely behind the icy Long Shan with admiration in his eyes. Long Shan was already powerful; how strong would he be if he regained his Fifth Earthly Martial Stage strength?

“It’s all thanks to the kid’s King Crystals, and he got us out of the Nine Spirit Purgatory. If not him, we would just be one of the many corpses in the Nine Spirit Purgatory,” said Long Shan, looking at Long Chen.

They all looked at Long Chen gratefully.

Long Chen said with a small smile, “Eldest Sister and I are close; I merely fulfilled my duty. It’s nothing.”

The four of them left the inner city nonchalantly, heading towards the outer city. After the huge commotion, almost everyone in Martial Overlord City had come out, including the people in the outer city.

This was the first time anyone had left Martial Overlord City so effortlessly.

Saving Long Yue was an almost impossible task, yet Long Chen managed to do it. The Dragon clan members who had stayed back at the Battle clan had probably lost all hope by now.

Long Chen and Long Yue locked eyes. They had decided where to go after leaving Martial Overlord City.

Suddenly, Long Chen saw a familiar figure looking up from the crowd. Long Chen had once memorized the location where this person was standing.

I almost forgot about the Blue Devil Flame! But it has delivered itself to my doorstep. Beneath him, a lady was watching the four of them fearfully. Long Chen had seen her at the Martial Merchant Alliance, and she had been with Zhao Danchen at the time. She had snatched Xiaolang’s Blue Devil Flame, and although it was likely useless to Xiaolang now, the lady was rude, vicious, and clearly not a good person. If Long Chen hadn’t been quick on his feet, she would have also asked Zhao Danchen to kill him.

“Please wait a moment.” With a whoosh, Long Chen rushed downwards. They were about to leave, but Long Chen had suddenly dove down, causing the crowd to erupt again.

Long Chen was quick. He was instantly above the residents and stopped ten meters away from the lady. When she realized that he was looking at her, her face changed.

“Give me the Blue Devil Flame, or I’ll kill you.” The corners of his lips curled up into a smile.

“Ah …” The lady fell several steps back. She was confused at first, but once his gaze started to turn cold, she quickly fished out a Universe Pouch from her clothing and tossed it to him with trembling hands. It still had a lingering smell.

She had no idea how Long Chen knew that she had the Blue Devil Flame.

After Long Chen took the Universe Pouch and confirmed that the Blue Devil Flame was inside, he flew back to her and said in her ear coldly, “Is Zhao Danchen not here?”

The lady became even more afraid when he came close. She was most afraid of that mysterious old man, and he was clearly one of his people. She was just the princess of a small faction, so how could she afford to offend Long Chen?

“He … he has gone to marry someone from the Ancient Demon Domain …” said the lady, her teeth chattering.

“How long has he been gone?” asked Long Chen.

“About f-f-five days …” she stuttered.

“Very good.” Long Chen laughed, then he slapped her. She was sent flying and knocked down several walls before landing in a yard.

Long Chen did not care if she lived or died. He then flew up into the air and returned to Long Shan’s side. “We can leave now.”

The three of them had seen what he had done, but it was just a minor interruption, so they did not ask questions.

Long Chen had publicly attacked someone in Martial Overlord City, but the people of the Martial Alliance had not moved because Zhao Wuji had not given any commands. All they could do was watch indignantly.

After the four of them completely disappeared, Zhao Wuji asked Xiao Lin with a mild expression, “That teenager who attacked her just now—he must be the guy they’re recently talking about, the Long Chen who killed that idiot Yang Ningfeng, right?”
