Chapter 603: Insults
Chapter 603: Insults
Jiang Kun withstood the ravaging of the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire with his great strength, but then Xiaolang concentrated the flames all on Jiang Kun.
Long Chen had notified the other party that they had admitted defeat for the second round. Since Jiang Kun continued to attack, then they could not blame him for taking action. Despite Xiaolang’s Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, Jiang Kun had decided to rush in.
Considering his speed, the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire might not have been able to catch up to him in a real confrontation. However, he had rushed into it on his own accord, so this was a whole different matter.
The furious roars of a wild beast rang from within the flames, and after a few times, the roars disappeared completely. When Xiaolang retracted the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, only a hyperrealistic ice sculpture of Jiang Kun remained.
The Dragon clan and the Battle clan huddled close together as they eyed the Martial Alliance, awaiting their next move.
This time, the Martial Alliance was the one who did not follow the rules, so it was none of their business.
However, the Martial Alliance had always been arrogant, so why would they care?
Every Martial Alliance member present was furious at Jiang Kun’s death. When Yang Ningfeng saw it, he first calmed them down then said coldly, “Battle clan, you have intervened in the duel and even killed our Martial Saint. I think that’s against the rules.”
“We admitted defeat, yet Jiang Kun continued to attack. He was the one who broke the rules first, and we had to kill him because we didn’t have a choice. Anyone who saw it would understand, yet you’re trying to distort the truth, Martial Emperor Yang. Aren’t you afraid that the heroes of the world will laugh at you?” Long Chen said with a smile. After Jiang Wuya fainted, Long Chen became their rock, especially after they saw him and Xiaolang working together to kill Jiang Kun.
“Also, everyone knows that even if we hadn’t done anything, Jiang Kun would’ve died after a while due to his technique,” he added.
Yang Ningfeng had never been good at banter, so he was left speechless by Long Chen’s argument. He looked at Zhao Danchen, silently asking for help. Zhao Danchen’s face turned green as he yelled, “Don’t you waste any more time! Haven’t we won? Ask them if they are submitting to us! If they don’t, we’ll attack!”
Zhao Danchen was always pro-war and did not care what the cost was. He would’ve been happier to kill off the whole Battle clan, yet Yang Ningfeng had set this bet, which restricted what he could do. If he didn’t have to take the Martial Alliance’s reputation into consideration, he would have invaded already!
Yang Ningfeng quickly nodded in an ingratiating manner, then he glared at Long Chen’s party and said loudly, “In that case, we will not dwell on the matter. However, you have already lost the bet. Good men of the Battle clan, from today onwards, the Battle clan shall submit to the Martial Alliance! You will be under the control of the Martial Alliance! True men are true to their word. I believe that Clan Leader Lei Zhen isn’t an imbecile who breaks his promises, right?”
This moment came after all!
A look of tired acceptance flashed across every person’s face.
Yang Ningfeng did not understand the Battle clan and thought that they were going to submit to them. In reality, they were accepting the fact that the final war was about to begin!
Deep breaths.
They had to wait for Lei Zhen to make the final decision. Lei Zhen was now the clan leader, so no matter what he said, the six Battle Kings would obey him.
Looking at Jiang Wuya’s injuries and the Martial Alliance’s looks of contempt, Lei Zhen clenched his fists. Everyone knew that he had made his decision.
The tension in the air was broken by a cold voice.
“Who said that we have already lost? Isn’t there supposed to be three rounds? Don’t we have one round left?”
It was Long Chen’s voice. Everyone turned to look at him. Long Chen looked up with fierce violence in his eyes. His voice was filled with determination.
Long Chen knew that Lei Zhen and the rest would forget about the last fight. After Jiang Wuya lost, they thought that the Battle clan had lost. The last fight was the Third Earthly Martial Stage fight after all. They did not want Long Chen to take the risk, as it was an impossible fight!
“Seventh Brother, forget about it!” advised Lei Zhen, grabbing Long Chen’s arm.
“Starting a war will likely end with death. Let me try; there might be a way!” Long Chen said gently as he gently pushed Lei Zhen’s hand off. Everyone wanted to say something, but they didn’t; they watched as he walked up to the Martial Alliance!
Everyone wanted to call him back, but when they saw how determined he was, they realized their words were stuck in their throats and remained silent.
Resilience. Refusal to submit. They saw a spirit even more authentic than that of a Battle clan member within him!
“My good brother! Do your best!” The look of worry in Lei Zhen’s eyes turned into passion! Long Chen’s decisive footsteps ignited the fires within all of them!
Be courageous! View death as coming home!
Long Chen walked up to the Martial Alliance, passing the ice sculpture of Jiang Kun. Without an expression, he gently flicked the ice sculpture, and it turned into a black powder that slowly fluttered to the ground.
The master had completely disappeared from this world. Nothing of him remained.
The moment Jiang Kun used Corpse Transformation, he was fated to die. It was a similar technique to Blood Sacrifice, but Long Chen’s Blood Sacrifice was countless times superior.
He looked up at the Martial Alliance. Although they were all powerful, he did not avoid their gazes at all!
Forward!
The people behind him quietly cheered him on in their hearts!
The injured Jiang Wuya slowly closed his eyes and his lips moved gently. “Seventh Brother is a good man. He will avenge us …”
“But …” Everyone hoped that Long Chen would survive, but was that possible? The Battle clan had killed two people from the Martial Alliance. If Yang Ningfeng had the advantage in the battle, why would he ever let Long Chen live?
Long Chen did not overthink this. He did not think about the results; he only knew that if he beat Yang Ningfeng, the Martial Alliance would get out of this place!
That was why he had to fight!
The Martial Alliance was a little puzzled by his actions.
Yang Ningfeng arched an eyebrow and said, “Lei Zhen, what is the meaning of this? I asked you to submit, but you sent us a brat?”
Long Chen did not wait for Lei Zhen to speak and said, “What, submit? We’ve agreed to three matches, and only two have taken place. Yang Ningfeng, stop spouting nonsense and let’s fight!”
The Martial Alliance first smiled at Long Chen’s arrogance, then they burst into laughter. Initially, the two deaths had angered them, but Long Chen’s words made them so happy that they forgot about their grudges …
“What did you say? You want to fight me?” Yang Ningfeng was first confused, and he burst into laughter. After a long time, he straightened his clothes and said, “Hey, kid, just go home. Don’t think you’re so strong just because you’ve reached the Earthly Martial Realm. Someone at your cultivation level isn’t even fit to carry my shoes. If you want to participate in the third round, send someone who is more presentable. Don’t you guys have Old Vulture?”
When Long Chen heard him, he squinted and roared, “Yang Ningfeng, enough of the nonsense! If you have the guts, get the hell over here!”
His roar was like the rumbling thunder, and the Martial Alliance members instinctively took a step back!
Long Chen had inherited the blood of the ancestral dragon, so every part of him contained its ancient regalness. Although he had a human form, he was also like a large, fierce beast. More specifically, a dragon!
His roar contained the might of a dragon!
At this time, dense, blood-red scales quickly covered his whole body. The silhouette of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon appeared on every single scale as if they were flying in the air. Sharp, blood-red spines shot out of his body, covering his spine, elbows, and knees. These were also powerful weapons for him, especially the ten claws on his hands, which were like blades!
Instantly, the weak-looking teenager turned into a war machine. After seeing his new look and hearing his previous shout, the Martial Alliance quickly took him seriously.
If Yang Ningfeng did not fight him after being insulted like that, his reputation would surely take a hit. His face gradually turned green as he stared at Long Chen, then he turned to Lei Zhen and said, “Lei Zhen, are you sure you’re sending this bratty kid for the third round?”
Lei Zhen had just nodded when Long Chen chuckled and said, “I’m able to bed your mother three hundred times; are you sure I am just a bratty kid? Take your sisters and daughters out for me to have a taste, and you’ll know whether I’m still just a bratty kid!”
Lan Ling’er’s eyes widened, and everyone else was also shocked. They had known Long Chen for a while now, but they did not know he had such a rough side to him. But it did seem quite adorable.
Only Mo Xiaolang knew that the true Long Chen had returned. Ever since Ling Xi left, Long Chen had become much more reserved, much colder, and more violent. Now, in the face of the Martial Alliance, Long Chen’s true personality had awoken once more.
He had not spoken like this in a long time!
Yang Ningfeng’s face turned green when he heard all those insults from a weak-looking kid. The people around him quickly backed off while a terrifying aura radiated from his body. His eyes, which had turned red from rage, invoked fear in the rest of them!
