Chapter 885 - Conflict in Scarlet Water City

The young lady appeared to have come from a well-to-do family. She was wearing red robes with a fox-fur cape. Her hair was tied up and she had a toned body, which was surprisingly strong yet nimble. Her face was pretty, but unfortunately, her eyes exuded a venomous glare and ruthlessness.

“How dare you look at me? I will gouge out your eyes!” the girl shouted as she punched at Xiong Jun. Her fist was filled with the profoundness of the Heavenly Martial Realm, and she pushed Xiong Jun back!

“Domain!”

She released her domain and completely suppressed Xiong Jun. Her domain was even larger than Xiong Jun’s at the Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage. Long Chen was surprised to find that she was at the Fifth Heavenly Martial Stage!

It was no surprise that she could fight all of them at the same time. It was due to her superior cultivation level!

Based on her clothes, she appeared to be one of the nobles here in Scarlet Water City.

“True Divine Fire Scripture, Nine-Winged Blazing Bird!”

She did not hold back at all. Fire covered her body and the clear cry of a bird sounded. She then threw out a punch that manifested a burning bird that threatened to consume Xiong Jun!

“Xiong Jun!” Xiong Wan’er, who had just exited Long Chen’s room, was surprised to see such a scene.

Everyone else in the main hall was surprised too. They were certain that Xiong Jun would die at the hands of the lady. Additionally, the others from the Barbaric Bear Tribe standing behind Xiong Jun would be injured too!

It was just a small altercation and yet the lady was being completely ruthless in public. No one could do anything at this point.

“Sigh. Those guys have no one but themselves to blame. To think that they would even glance at the little princess of the Liu family. Everyone here knows that she’s a little tyrant. Even though her family isn’t large, they are still influential here because of their connections to the mayor.”

“That young man is dead for sure.”

“Everyone who catches her ire is sure to die.”

The intense flames broke through Xiong Jun’s techniques and threatened to swallow him whole!

Shit! I didn’t even get to meet the Underworld Soldier yet, and now I’m going to die by her hand! Dammit! She’s so ruthless! I only looked at her a couple of times and now she wants to kill me!

Xiong Jun’s eyes were bloodshot from anger.

At the last moment, a strong wind blew past them. Xiong Jun and the others were shoved away by someone. The attack from Liu Qing'er missed and the fiery bird crashed into the wall of the inn. A massive hole formed on the wall, and smoke billowed everywhere.

“Who are you? Who dares to interfere with me killing someone? Get out here!”

The lady was angry, and her frosty killing intent spread out. She was glaring at everyone.

No one actually dared to stop Liu Qing'er when she was angry.

Everyone remained motionless, but they were also looking around to see who had helped Xiong Jun.

Everyone almost immediately looked at Long Chen, who was currently standing in front of him.

“Big Brother Long Chen ...” Xiong Jun had been saved once again. He was looking at Long Chen like a savior.

“Go and treat them.” Long Chen had silently become their backbone. Liu Qing'er glared at him. She knew instantly that Long Chen wasn’t from the Barbaric Bear Tribe.

She didn’t want to accidentally kill someone from an influential family, so she asked tentatively, “Who are you?” Long Chen gave her a very weird feeling.

“That’s not important, little lady. You should stop now. I know you have some kind of fight with them, but you’ve already injured them enough. I think we can stop here for today. This is Scarlet Water City, and this is an inn. Everyone is having their meals and resting here, yet you want to murder someone? I don’t think that’s appropriate. Let’s stop here; there is no need to escalate things further, alright?”

Long Chen’s tone was very courteous.

He had seen girls like her before. It was because of their family’s influence that they became arrogant and didn’t even think twice about killing someone. Long Chen had just arrived here and didn’t want to offend anyone.

Under normal circumstances, he would’ve slapped her already.

Liu Qing'er observed Long Chen. She could easily tell that he was only between the First and Third Heavenly Martial Stage.

He doesn’t have a background, and he’s weak. He’s just an idiot.

After making a brief assessment, Liu Qing'er knew what to do.

She covered her mouth and chuckled. “You are right, but they’ve offended me, so they need to pay the price. Why don’t you take their punishment for them? Give me your life, and I will spare them. Wouldn’t it be kind of me to let them all go for the price of just one life?”

She proceeded to laugh at her own joke.

She was young and yet her heart was as cruel as a demon’s. Xiong Wan’er was already biting her lip and was on the verge of crying when she heard that.

“No! I must pay for my own mistake! Big Brother Long Chen, let me die!”

Xiong Jun was angry and tried to step forward, but Long Chen pushed him back.

Long Chen said calmly, “Let’s make a bet instead. We can fight for one round. You will scram if you lose, but if you win, you can take my life.”

“Hm?”

Liu Qing’er thought Long Chen was joking.

“You are interesting. Alright, then, as you wish.”

Flames covered Liu Qing’er’s body again.

“Fifth Heavenly Martial Stage?”

Long Chen had to admit that she was his strongest opponent so far. He was only at the Second Heavenly Martial Stage. Everyone else was certain that Long Chen would lose.

Liu Qing’er was interested in seeing why Long Chen was brave enough to fight her.

“He must be stupid. He’s only at the Second Heavenly Martial Stage—he’s going to die for sure.”

“I think he’s doing it to save them. People like him are rare nowadays.”

“Liu Qing’er is really crossing the line right now. She’s pretty, so it’s normal for people to look at her...”

“Shh, be quiet or she will kill you next.”

The customers talked amongst themselves about the fight.

“Ready to die?” Liu Qing’er chuckled.

Long Chen ignored her. He would go all-out since she had already agreed to the fight in front of everyone.

“Domain!”

At her cultivation level, her domain was more than strong enough to suppress someone three stages lower than her like Long Chen. The oppressive feeling enveloped Long Chen and almost made him kneel. His knees slowly bend downwards from the pressure.

“Kneel down to me.” Liu Qing’er laughed as she used her domain to test Long Chen. She was certain now that he was only at the Second Heavenly Martial Stage and was weaker than the youths she had beaten up just now.

“You dare to shield them despite being weaker? What a joke. Time to die!”

Liu Qing’er had no patience for someone so weak, so she tried to use her domain to crush Long Chen directly!

“Churn and rip!”

Liu Qing’er’s Domain became exceedingly chaotic, and the wild energy inside of it slammed on Long Chen’s body repeatedly. He would die if he did nothing.

“Is this as strong as your domain can get?”

Long Chen chuckled. His knees, which had been bending slowly, gradually straightened. He then transformed, blood-red scales covering his body. He turned into a bloodthirsty war machine, and the primordial bloodlust covered the entire place.

“Three Thousand Star Clusters, Yin and Yang Sword Root, and the Five Emperor Palm!”

Long Chen’s strength increased explosively to a terrifying degree. He held onto the Three Thousand Star Clusters and channeled the power of the Yin and Yang Sword Root into it. His strength was multiplied by ten times.

He also used the Five Emperor Palm for the first time.

The familiar power circulated from his palm into his body. The five-colored essence fused with his own harmoniously and became a terrifying force. For every one unit of his Dragon Soul Essence, he could control nine units of the five-colored essence.

Long Chen was now stronger than a regular Fifth Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator!

It took him just a moment to grow explosively and become a being capable of destroying Liu Qing’er! Everyone was shocked by the sudden rise in strength, but before anyone could react, Long Chen turned into the wind and charged at Liu Qing’er!

“Three Thousand Star Clusters Spear Manual, Nine Spinning Star Clusters!”

Long Chen expanded his domain, and the stars turned wildly inside it. He transformed into a spear of starlight while Liu Qing’er thought the entire galaxy was crashing down on her!

“What’s happening?!” She was surprised by Long Chen’s sudden growth!

A weakling that she could kill at any time had suddenly become someone that could kill her! How could someone grow so strong?

Liu Qing’er realized that Long Chen had been hiding his strength all this time!

That was why he had rescued Xiong Jun and the others just now!

“Damn!”

Liu Qing’er punched, and the fiery bird appeared again. This time, she used her full power and directed it at Long Chen.

“Die!”
