Dragon War God

Chapter 23 - Killing Intent

Long Chen easily recognized the owner of the voice.

Yang Xueqing.

Hearing her voice, Bai Shiji stopped in his tracks and glared at Long Chen. Only then did he slowly dissipate his Abyssal Heaven Fingers.

Long Chen disengaged and stopped the Vast Dragon Seal.

“Aunty, we are here ...”

Upon hearing Yang Xueqing’s voice, Yang Lingqing sighed in relief and shouted excitedly.

Yang Xueqing had seen Bai Shiji first. Her face was filled with concern as she looked at him. But when she heard Yang Lingqing’s voice, she suddenly realized that none other than Long Chen was fighting Bai Shiji. Her gentle gaze turned cold in an instant.

Long Chen smiled coldly. He was impressed by how fast her emotions shifted. It was deplorable that she cared more for someone else’s son than her own son.

Long Chen really hated the feeling and he didn’t want to see Yang Xueqing only caring about Bai Shiji. The moment Yang Xueqing showed up, Long Chen turned around and walked away as if nothing had happened.

“Stop right there!” Yang Xueqing’s chilly voice reached his ears.

Long Chen turned around and asked, “What does the wife of the Bai family want from me? Is it because I beat up two useless people from the Bai family? That’s right, I was the one who beat them up. What are you going to do about it?”

Yang Lingqing had been excited when she saw Yang Xueqing, and now she deflated like a balloon. She stared blankly at Long Chen and then at the grim-looking Yang Xueqing. She couldn’t understand why he would say that.

Long Chen’s words were filled with hostility, and even Yang Xueqing had difficulty breathing. To think that Long Chen would not give her any respect in public. Looking at his nonchalant attitude, she grew angrier.

She knew that her marriage into the Bai family was already tarnishing her reputation. If she dealt with Long Chen now, people would spread rumors which would bring no benefit to either the Bai or Yang family.

Yang Xueqing decided to ignore Long Chen and turned around to check on Bai Shiji. “Shiji, I apologize to you and the Bai family. I heard that he beat up people from the Bai family. Is it true?”

Bai Shiji nodded. “He did indeed hurt Zhixing and Shidong. I was just about to advise him not to fight since our families have such a deep friendship. But before I could, you showed up. Aunty Yang, I trust you. Please take Long Chen back with you.”

Yang Xueqing was very satisfied at the youth’s understanding. Bai Shiji was also very strong, and he had reached the Seventh Draconic Stage at the age of twenty–an excellent achievement.

She nodded. “Please say hello to your father on my behalf. I will visit your house and apologize personally soon. I have to leave now.”

“Take care, Aunty Yang.”

Long Chen felt disgusted by their asskissing.

Yang Xueqing’s appearance resolved the issue just like that. But Bai Shiji’s overwhelming strength and the threat of the Abyssal Heaven Fingers was still fresh in his mind. Please visit 𝓃𝑜vel-𝒏𝑒xt.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update

If I don’t have a method to counter the Abyssal Heaven Fingers, I will die if I meet him in the Demon Hunting Tournament. There won’t be many witnesses there!

Long Chen was infuriated by the way Yang Xueqing and Bai Shiji acted towards each other. An idea popped into his mind.

The wedding and the Demon Hunting Tournament are on the same day. If I kill Bai Shiji, then the Bai family will have to conduct a funeral instead. There’s no way their wedding can proceed!

At first, he hadn’t thought much about it, but then he suddenly recalled that the man who tried to kill him had used the same blade and was also at the Second Draconic Stage. The man also had the same stature as his attacker. He was about to investigate when the man took off. It seemed that he was feeling guilty. Long Chen decided there and then that it was the same assailant who had tried to kill him that night.

After chasing for quite some time, Long Chen finally managed to catch him. Long Chen growled, “I’ll keep this short. Who paid you to kill me? Give me a name or die.”

Facing Long Chen’s strength, the assailant had given up all hope. But upon hearing that there was a chance to turn everything around, he made a decision immediately. “You won’t kill me if I tell who it was?”

Long Chen nodded. “But you will have to leave Baiyang Town.”

The assailant only wanted to live so he answered simply. “Easy. Bai family, Bai Zhanxiong.”

Long Chen was surprised by two things. One was how easily the answer came, and two, it had been Bai Zhanxiong all along.

He wants to marry my mother. Why the heck does he want to kill me over that?

Long Chen was perplexed.

The assailant continued to say, “I’m not lying to you. The only reason why I'm telling you this is that I hate him. He promised that he would let my daughter go if I killed you but he had already killed her! The only reason why I am still in Baiyang Town is to see if I have a chance to get my revenge!”

Long Chen watched the assailant’s eyes slowly turn red. Looks like he’s telling the truth. It didn’t matter who the hired hand was. To think that the mastermind was Bai Zhanxiong–although it was convenient for Long Chen as he wanted to kill Bai Zhanxiong too.

Long Chen released him and smiled. “You almost killed me once but now you are at my mercy. Since I already promised that I won’t kill you, you can leave, but only after you eat shit.”

Before that man could react, Long Chen threw him into the toilet. Water splashed everywhere as Long Chen left hastily. Phew, that was dangerous. Luckily I was fast enough ...

The sun had already set.

“Xiao Xi, let’s go to the Desolate Mountains.”

Ling Xi paused and asked. “Why? Are you afraid that the lady will hit you? Don’t be scared. Once I refine the Dream Lingzhi Mushroom, I can protect you. She will never be able to hurt you.”

Long Chen smiled. “What do you know? I’m not afraid of her, but it's just that there are many people in the Yang family. You are going to refine the Dream Lingzhi Mushroom and help me decipher the secrets of the Dragon Seal. Considering that everything must be done secretly, doing it at the Yang residence is very inconvenient.”

“Is that so? Then let us hurry. I finally have something nice to eat ...”

Ling Xi’s voice was weak but her tone revealed her excitement.

“Eat?”

“Hm? Don’t you know that after I ended up like this I’ve never eaten anything? I found some herbs last time and they tasted good.”

Long Chen heard her excited voice and felt sad. To think that she couldn’t eat and could only experience the delicious taste of food through herbs. It was a difficult thing for a little girl from a wealthy background.

“Xiao Xi ...”

“Hm?”

“One of these days I will let you experience the feeling of eating good food.”

“Really? I’m a glutton. It won’t be easy to feed me. I’m still a glutton even though I’m like this. A single Dream Lingzhi Mushroom is not enough for me so you’d better work hard!”

“Yes! This humble person understands!”
