Chapter 169 - Earth-Tier Divine Weapons!

Yin Mengyao had only just healed from the poisoning, so she really needed time to recover. That was why after learning that Long Chen also knew Mo Xiaolang, she finally nodded. “Be careful,” she said, then she stepped back.

When Li Feng saw that Yin Mengyao was actually allowing Long Chen to fight in her place, he was frustrated. He too pushed Wang Tong behind him and said, “Alright, then let’s fight, man to man! Xiao Tong, just watch me.”

“Yes, Brother Feng! In my eyes, you’ll always be the best!” said Wang Tong demurely, although she turned and glared coldly at Long Chen.

“Since you’re volunteering to take her place, don’t blame us for killing you. It looks like you two have beaten a team since both of you have two jade bracelets. Once we defeat you two, we’ll have six bracelets in total. What a great deal!”

“Dream on.” Long Chen had activated the Dragon Soul Transformation, so his body and aura had strengthened. A violent and bloody aura radiated from him.

Upon closer inspection, there were even lightning and flames on his scales. Ever since he achieved the Level Two Blazing Thunder Combat Body, Long Chen’s power had surged to an unfathomable level.

He had already merged with fifty Blazing Thunder Crystals after all.

“Is that a Beast Warrior’s Beast Soul Transformation? It doesn’t look like much to me.”

The distance between Li Feng and Long Chen was only ten meters now.

“All it takes is one move to determine the winner,” Long Chen said mildly.

Li Feng was a little puzzled by Long Chen’s confidence. He laughed and said, “Do you know how powerful my strongest attack is?”

“Didn’t it get beaten by Yin Mengyao’s attack though?” Long Chen mused.

“You! Good! Good! It looks like you truly have a death wish! So, I shall grant you that wish!”

“Enough with the nonsense! Let’s go!”

Long Chen was too lazy to banter with a person who was no match for himself. He leapt powerfully towards Li Feng, turning into a red silhouette. Li Feng was shocked at his speed.

“How’s he so fast?! But he still cannot escape death!”

He clenched both fists, and his powerful Qi turned into ten Qi blades that orbited his hands.

“Die! Ten True Strikes!”

The ten blades suddenly merged together, then Li Feng released ten punches, whose power merged into one. This was not a simple addition equation, because the resulting force was almost twenty times more powerful than one normal punch from him!

Long Chen smiled faintly. He gave a small cry and punched! “Burning Devil Sun Fist, Devil Sun Collision!”

Long Chen himself turned into a gigantic, black sun. The tsunami-like aura and burning energy seemed to make the air and tree branches around him burn.

He’s that powerful? Wang Tong’s brows were knitted as she watched from the side. “It probably just looks cool but isn’t actually powerful,” she said in an attempt to comfort herself.

However, she had lost some of her confidence after seeing his attack. Seeing as he was awarded the right to participate in the qualifiers despite being at the Human Core Realm, he indeed isn’t as simple as he looks.

When that thought flashed in her mind, Long Chen and Li Feng had already collided!

Victory was determined in one moment.

The Ten True Strikes shattered like glass when they met Long Chen’s Burning Sun Devil Fist. The remaining momentum from the Burning Sun Devil Fist quickly arrived in front of Li Feng.

“What?” Li Feng was in disbelief. His blood was churning from the vibrations, and he would die if he was hit by the shockwaves!

Although he was in disbelief, Li Feng used the intermediate Black-tier Body Combat Technique he had mastered to quickly dodge it.

The Body Combat Technique must have been decent, because only a small portion of the Burning Sun Devil Fist struck him. However, that was enough to severely injure him. Blood sprayed out of his mouth, and he was sent flying towards Wang Tong!

“Brother Feng!” Wang Tong let out a chilling shriek and reached out to catch Li Feng, falling backwards from the force. When she stabilized herself, she saw that Li Feng was barely breathing.

She completely surrendered before Long Chen, though she couldn’t figure out how someone at the initial Earthly Core Realm could be strong enough to defeat Li Feng.

She was torn due to Li Feng’s tragic state, but in the end, determination flashed in her eyes. Without another word, she tossed Li Feng in Long Chen’s direction and then ran off.

“Yin Mengyao, Li Feng was the one who came up with the idea to betray Mo Xiaolang! It had nothing to do with me! You can kill him if you want!” said Wang Tong nervously as she ran.

Yin Mengyao’s expression changed, and she exclaimed, "Long Chen!”

He didn’t expect her to leave her man behind like this and run off on her own, even offering to trade Li Feng’s life for her own. Long Chen was disgusted by such a selfish person. This girl is evil! Unlike my darling Xiao Xi, Long Chen thought happily. He left Li Feng behind and shot towards Wang Tong like a blood arrow!

With his speed, she was no match for him. The panting Wang Tong realized that Long Chen was already next to her, smiling, in just a few breaths’ time. “Don’t kill me!” Wang Tong was as pale as a sheet.

Long Chen punched her abdomen without another word, and she curled up in pain. He then lifted her by her neck and tossed her towards Yin Mengyao along with Li Feng.

Long Chen looked up to ask, “What do you think? To kill or not to kill?”

His nonchalant question sounded like a question from the devil himself. Both Li Feng and Wang Tong shivered in fear, staring at him, unable to speak.

Although he had a grin on his face, they found him more terrifying than Yin Mengyao.

Yin Mengyao was torn. On the one hand, she had come to Mortal Devil Mountain to avenge Mo Xiaolang. On the other hand, with her personality, she found it difficult to kill two people just like that.

“Are they the ones who placed Mo Xiaolang in his current predicament?” asked Long Chen.

Yin Mengyao nodded.

“Then there’s no need to hesitate.” Long Chen looked friendly, but he was much more vicious than Yin Mengyao. These two had committed evil crimes and were not good people. If Yin Mengyao didn’t have Long Chen with her, she would’ve been a lump of snake poop by now.

Long Chen spoke fast, but he also acted fast. Before the three of them reacted, he slammed both fists on Li Feng and Wang Tong’s heads. The strength of his punches immediately killed the defenseless duo.

Their bodies slumped onto the ground, and he reached out to retrieve their jade bracelets, at the same time putting their Universe Pouches in his own Universe Pouch. His face did not even turn red when he committed these acts.

“This is yours,” said Long Chen, hooking one of the jade bracelets on her arm.

“You ...” She stared at him, then at the bodies, not knowing what to say. She didn’t hate Long Chen for this, but if it had been up to her, she wouldn’t have been able to do it.

But Long Chen’s decisiveness and viciousness left her deeply shaken.

She stared at him in a daze, suddenly feeling that he was a terrifying person.

Miracles kept happening since they entered Mortal Devil Mountain. He was powerful, even as powerful as Yin Mengyao, yet he kept it hidden and only attacked during critical moments, going straight for the kill.

People with such capabilities and mindsets were always top-tier figures and tended to be extremely terrifying.

“Anyone who shows mercy to people who are a threat to themselves will eventually die by their hands.” Long Chen gave a brief explanation, then he turned to leave.

Without turning around, he said, “Let’s go. We’ve delayed our journey again. They’re all at the Mortal Caves waiting for us.”

Yin Mengyao took a deep breath, glanced at Li Feng and Wang Tong one last time, and then followed him.

“Long Chen, how did you get to know Mo Xiaolang?” Yin Mengyao blurted anxiously while they traveled.

Long Chen told her about Mo Xiaolang in Baiyang Town.

“It looks like you were brought together by fate,” said Yin Mengyao wistfully when she heard his explanation.

“What about you guys? What’s your relationship?”

There was a rare warmth in her eyes when she thought about him. She reminisced, “I entered the Lingwu family at the same time as Xiaolang. He was only ten at the time, but his talent was nonhuman. We spent four years together there. As for relationships, I guess we’re something like siblings. He was young, so I’ve always treated him like a younger brother.”

“That’s good,” Long Chen responded with a smile. Since that was the case, he no longer felt guilty about carrying Yin Mengyao for so long while they were on the run.

“What?” Yin Mengyao asked, looking at him in confusion.

“Nothing. Oh, tell me about why Xiaolang was sent to the Star Devil Prison. Also, what was up with Li Feng and Wang Tong?”

Her face darkened when she recalled what happened to Mo Xiaolang. After a pause, she slowly explained, “Xiaolang is a prodigy so talented no one could touch him. He reached the mid Heavenly Core Realm at just fourteen years old. Even the inner families don’t have a prodigy like him. So when a prodigy like that pops up in the outer family, what do you think happens to them?”

“If the inner family can’t use him, then he must be killed.”

Long Chen saw through the situation clearly. The inner family controlled the Lingwu family. If Mo Xiaolang couldn’t be used by the Lingwu family, then they wouldn’t let a prodigy of his caliber exist. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You’re right. Long Chen, do you know about the Five Secret Divine Weapons?”

“Five Divine Weapons, like the Azure Dragon Halberd and the others? I’ve heard of them.”

He’d heard about the Five Divine Weapons from Ma Tianyang of the Gold family. At the time, he wasn’t paying much attention, but they piqued his interest now that Yin Mengyao had mentioned them.

“The Five Divine Weapons are important treasures of the Lingwu family. They are the Azure Dragon Halberd, the Vermillion Bird Fan, the White Tiger Blade, the Black Tortoise Axe, and the Heavenly Wolf Dagger. Do you know what tier they are in?”

When he heard her question, he gasped and asked, “You mean they’re beyond the Black-tier?”

Yin Mengyao nodded. “That’s right. The Five Divine Weapons are Earth-tier weapons. They are infinitely more powerful than Black-tiers.”
