Dragon War God

Chapter 17 - Prideful Gaze

Long Chen’s behavior sent shockwaves through the crowd. Everything had happened in a single moment. Yang Lingyue’s furious Typhoon Nine Fingers landed one by one on Long Chen. Each time the Qi-reinforced finger struck Long Chen, the clothes on his back exploded to shreds and blood flowed from his mouth!

The sudden events made all of the Yang family members in the audience shoot up from their seats, uncertain how to react. Yang Xueqing was as pale as a sheet, and she’d even squeezed the arms of her chair to bits.

Yang Lingqing, who was paler than ever, rushed to the fighting stage! “Stop it! Sister Lingyue!”

But there was no stopping the Typhoon Nine Fingers once they were unleashed. The Yang patriarch was about to react when he caught sight of Long Chen’s eyes!

Long Chen’s eyes were fixed on Yang Lingyue. Blood sprayed from his mouth but a fire continued burning in his eyes, leaving the Yang patriarch deeply shaken!

It was the most unshakable glare he’d ever seen.

Ferocity! Unyielding! Pride! Insanity! Viciousness!

These were the qualities he saw in Long Chen’s eyes. Although his abilities far exceeded those of Long Chen, even he felt fear at Long Chen’s glare! “If the boy matures ... Just based on his inner qualities ... Shocking!”

Since the Yang patriarch did not react, no one else dared to move either. Yang Xueqing took a step forward but the patriarch pulled her back.

No one noticed Yang Xueqing’s reaction, and she herself didn’t even realize what she’d done.

Everyone thought Long Chen was about to die when the Typhoon Nine Fingers’ seventh finger, Lingyue’s limit, struck Long Chen. That was when he suddenly let out a hysterical roar. He raised his fist and punched, his movements as smooth as flowing water, as if he had practiced them tens of thousands of times!

Yang Lingyue, who was partially spent from using the Typhoon Nine Fingers, was both frightened and shocked when Long Chen struck her in the stomach. She cried out in pain before being thrown off the stage. She hit a wall with a boom. Blood sprayed out of her mouth, and she fainted! Please visit 𝓃𝑜vel-𝒏𝑒xt.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update

Yang Wu flew into a rage but Yang Qingxuan stopped him. “Go help Lingyue with her injuries. Do not attack.”

Yang Wu glared at Long Chen then obeyed. He had already decided to severely beat Long Chen up. He loved Yang Lingyue deeply since she was his precious younger sister. He had never even reprimanded her a single time.

The Martial Courtyard fell silent. Everyone stared in shock at the young man onstage still standing tall!

The Typhoon Nine Fingers had torn his clothes to shreds, exposing his back. He was a bloodied mess from his chest injuries and the blood that sprayed from his mouth.

And yet, he stood firmly on the stage. The Typhoon Nine Fingers didn’t push him back an inch! His last move had defeated Yang Lingyue but he remained standing. A vicious smile spread across his face as he looked around like a war god. His bloodshot eyes fell on Yang Xueqing, and he laughed coldly.

Yang Xueqing’s face was as pale as a sheet as she watched the man standing proudly on stage. She fell a step back, and waves of emotions rolled in her heart!

Not daring to look Long Chen in the eyes, she turned and ran.

Long Chen watched her leave without a word. “Did you see that? Are you afraid? Yes, I am from the Long family! I am Long Qinglan’s son! We are proud! To everyone who has ever looked down on me: you all will realize that I, Long Chen, will one day become your nightmare! And today is only the beginning!”

“Yang! Xue! Qing! From today onwards, you will see a different Long Chen! He is the leader of the people! You no longer have the right to look at him with contempt! He will be a presence that inspires awe and admiration!”

Waves of emotion rose in his heart.

It was the worst he’d ever been injured, but it was also his proudest moment. He could finally stand up for himself today. He stood with his shoulders back as his gaze swept across the audience.

Everyone else stared at him, stunned and speechless.

Worried about Long Chen’s safety, Ling Xi willed the Ling Xi Sword to expand and she left the sword once more.

Everyone had expected Long Chen to die from the Dragon Seal but to their surprise, his ear stud turned into a sword. Then, a fairy-like girl appeared in a cloud of mist ...

“You idiot, you’re always worrying me ... If you do this again, I’m not going to rescue you ...”

It was Ling Xi’s voice.

Long Chen lifted his head to watch as he lay on the stage. He still couldn’t see Ling Xi’s face but from the dazed expressions of the spectators, he knew she had to be beautiful ...

A few rays of light shot through the mist from the sword and shattered Yang Yuntian’s attack, finally giving the Yang patriarch his chance to block Yang Yuntian.

Yang Yuntian was too quick. Even though the patriarch was more powerful and had rushed forward immediately, he still hadn’t been fast enough.

Long Chen had almost died!

Ling Xi dissolved into mist once more, returning to the Ling Xi Sword. The sword shrank again, returning to Long Chen’s ear. He heard Ling Xi’s extremely weak voice. It seemed like this endeavor had cost her a lot of energy.

“... Mmm, I’m going to sleep, I can’t help you with the rest ...”

“Xiao Xi ...”

She had now rescued him twice. Long Chen was extremely grateful.

He had always believed in giving back what you received, and he would return the kindness to Ling Xi many times over.

It had been an eventful Family Meeting. Long Chen’s appearance was already a shock, then he defeated Lingyue, and then Yang Yuntian had attacked him. However, what shocked everyone the most was the girl who had emerged from the sword and saved him.

Long Chen was now shrouded in a veil of mystery.

Even with his vast experience, the Yang patriarch didn’t know what that was either. This grandson of his had given him so many surprises and obviously held many secrets.

But it was not the time for questions. Yang Yuntian thought he could kill Long Chen but he never imagined a girl would appear and block his attack. By the time he could attack again, the patriarch was already standing in front of him ...

Glaring at the patriarch with bloodshot eyes, Yang Yuntian screamed, “Father, he killed your grandson, my son! And you’re protecting him? How can you do this to me?”

The Yang patriarch’s gaze turned cold. “You’re already forty. You’re not young anymore and I’m not going to say much here. This is the Family Meeting with many esteemed guests of Baiyang Town; I refuse to let you embarrass me here! We’ll talk about this later! Xuan’er, take him away!”

The Yang patriarch had the full presence of a leader. Although Yang Yuntian wanted nothing more than to kill Long Chen immediately, he knew the patriarch had made up his mind. If he didn’t read the situation right and further angered his father, it would diminish his chances of killing Long Chen later.

He glared daggers at Long Chen, then swallowed his anger and left.

He knew that as long as Long Chen was in the Yang Residence, there would be ten thousand ways to kill him!

The patriarch wouldn’t let him kill Long Chen today to protect the family’s reputation but there would be countless opportunities in the future. Yang Yuntian could easily act before dealing with the aftermath!

When Yang Yuntian left, the patriarch heaved a sigh of relief. He was extremely conflicted by today’s events. He looked at Long Chen, who was still onstage, and checked his injuries. Long Chen was already in a sitting position, and his hand positions showed that he was cultivating.

That’s right!

The demonic ginseng he’d consumed contained great medicinal strength, and some of it remained in his body. His severe injuries had triggered its medicinal properties. In addition to that, even more Qi flowed from the mysterious jade pendant after he was hurt. The overlapping forces made Long Chen realize he now had the ability to attain the Fifth Draconic Stage in front of everyone!
