Chapter 127 - He’s Long Chen?
“Who are you?!” Li Jing shouted unconsciously, but she had already been dragged back by the mysterious person.
She was still stunned when she saw an incomparably hot flame gather around the stranger’s fist. A moment later, it crashed into the two Sect Elders. She then realized that the mysterious person had managed to kill the Sect Elders!
“How is this possible? He’s a Beast Warrior!”
Both Li Jing and the two brothers stopped fighting when they saw the Beast Warrior defeat the two Sect Elders.
The Beast Warrior was Long Chen.
Long Chen had been waiting to ambush them for a long time. He was waiting for the time when the five Sect Elders left the Great Priest. Once he saw his chance, he pounced.
Now that he was at the mid Human Core Realm, had cultivated the intermediate Black-tier Blazing Thunder Combat Body, and was capable of using the intermediate Black-tier Devil Sun Collision, he was more than capable of defeating Feng Wutian at the peak Human Core Realm, much less the two Sect Elders of the Blood Saints.
After killing them, he instantly moved to his destination.
Nine Heavens Dragon Step!
Using the Nine Heavens Dragon Step, Long Chen swiftly dove into the crowd and removed his transformation. He quickly activated Blood Transmutation and consumed the blood essence of the two late Human Core Realm cultivators.
For Long Chen, cultivators at the late Human Core Realm were the same as Category Three Black-tier demonic beasts. It didn’t take him long to absorb their blood.
I can’t defeat the Great Priest yet. I can only lure the Sect Elders one by one and consume their blood essence. Hopefully, I can break into the late Human Core Realm!
This was Long Chen’s plan. He used the Nine Heavens Dragon Step and weaved through the terrified crowd. The only one who could track his movements was the Great Priest, but the latter was busy talking to Yang Lingqing.
Two mummified corpses appeared in front of everyone, and they gasped.
When they reacted, Long Chen was long gone.
Or to be more accurate, he had hidden himself into the crowd once more.
“What’s going on?”
Li Jing and the two brothers tried to find where the Beast Warrior was, but that person had disappeared!
“Senior! The members of the Blood Saints must be killed! Please help us!” the two brothers shouted at the crowd.
They thought the Beast Warrior was at the Earthly Core Realm after watching him kill two late Human Core Realm cultivators that easily. Therefore, they assumed the Beast Warrior would be able to take down the Great Priest!
But no one replied to them. Everyone searched the crowd for a Beast Warrior, but they saw none. Li Jing glanced at Long Chen. Seeing that he was still waiting there quietly, she felt relieved.
Who was that expert?
While everyone was confused, the Great Priest learned what had transpired from the remaining three Sect Elders.
“Parlor tricks! You two, go and defeat the three of them. If someone else suddenly appears, I will intercept them immediately!”
The Great Priest dared not let his guard down this time. Someone capable of killing two Sect Elders was by no means weak.
Since they are hiding and attacking from the darkness, that must mean they are afraid of me. So that means they are still weaker than me ...
The Great Priest stood at the side of the bridge and stared at the crowd.
He dared not cross over and find the culprit himself, because he was afraid someone would rescue Yang Lingqing while he was distracted.
“Granny Huang, go and secure that girl. I will defeat the sneaky intruder instead!”
After giving his order, the Great Priest warned Yang Lingqing with a glare before finally standing in the middle of the blood pool. He knew someone was hiding within the crowd.
Yang Lingqnig, however, was staring at the two dried-up corpses.
She knew a little about Long Chen’s cultivation. In fact, she knew that this was how Bai Zhanxiong had died previously.
Brother, did you come for me ...?
Yang Lingqing’s ashen face lit up. But she was still unsure due to the gap in strength. The two Sect Elders were immensely powerful, while Long Chen was only at the Eighth Draconic Stage when he left Baiyang Town. He couldn’t be as strong as the red shadow just now.
Even though I never saw it properly, the red shadow should be him. But how did he get so strong?
Yang Lingqing shook her head.
Maybe I’m thinking too much and was just seeing things.
She chuckled bitterly and bit her lip. She continued observing the Great Priest.
The Great Priest sent another two Sect Elders to get rid of the trio while he himself would watch the crowd. He wanted to force Long Chen out of hiding, so this was indeed a good idea.
“If you are a man, then come out and fight me fair and square! What kind of hero are you to fight in the darkness?”
The Great Priest scanned the crowd, but no one moved. Only then did he order the two Sect Elders to fight against Li Jing and the brothers. Li Jing was able to fend herself against one of them, but the two brothers were fighting a losing battle!
Long Chen was observing what was happening, and he was furious.
I’m almost at the late Human Core Realm now. I need to risk it one last time!
When the Li brothers were about to die, Long Chen suddenly transformed and ran towards the two Sect Elders like a red arrow.
“Burning Devil Sun Fist, Blazing Flame!”
He launched Blazing Flame with both his hands!
Facing the strong attack, the two Sect Elders grunted and used their strongest attacks to defend themselves. The Great Priest locked onto Long Chen’s location and ran towards him at great speed!
“Die, you brat!”
But he had underestimated Long Chen, who was much closer to the two Sect Elders. Long Chen increased his speed and transformed into a fiery tornado that scoured past the Sect Elders. When he was done, the two had been reduced to corpses.
The Great Priest was shocked at what he had seen!
But it was not enough. When Long Chen killed the two Sect Elders, he also planned to use Blood Transmutation to absorb their blood essence.
The two Sect Elders have killed innocent people, so I’m taking revenge on their behalf! I will absorb their blood essence to strengthen myself. Whether I make it or not depends on this!
Long Chen grabbed the two corpses and ran into the crowd with the Nine Heavens Dragon Step. He immediately used Blood Transmutation to absorb their blood. He absorbed their blood essence and directed it to his Dantian.
“Who are you?! How dare you kill my Sect Elders! You deserve to die!”
The Great Priest didn’t mind seeing regular sect members die, but the five Sect Elders had been following him for a long time. They were his loyal servants, and now Long Chen had killed four of them! The Great Priest was infuriated!
The Great Priest is indeed at the Earthly Core Realm! He’s really fast!
Even though he was weaving through the crowd, Long Chen still felt that the Great Priest was closing in on him.
But I still have time to absorb their blood essence!
After absorbing their blood essence, Long Chen threw the bodies toward the Great Priest. Killing intent burst forth from the latter when he saw the mummified husks.
Long Chen took his time to refine all of the blood essence into Qi, but he was disappointed to find that his Human Core merely shook a little. It was not enough for him to step into the late Human Core Realm!
I’m so close to becoming strong enough to defeat him!
The Great Priest was strong, to the point that even Long Chen didn’t know how he would deal with him. Long Chen hated leaving things to chance, but he had no choice if he wanted to save Yang Lingqing.
Yang Lingqing started crying when she saw that it was indeed Long Chen.
How could she forget Long Chen’s Dragon Soul Transformation? She had seen it clearly when Long Chen stopped for a while.
At this point, she stopped caring about how he had gotten so strong. All she knew was that he had come to save her. This was enough.
“Brother ...”
Tears welled in her eyes, staining her cheeks wet, but she had accidentally spoken out loud.
Granny Huang heard what she had said and immediately recalled everything that had happened recently. “Great Priest! That man is Long Chen from the Lingwu family! He is the one from the Yang family who killed Xue Yuanzi, Protector Qin, and Protector Shi!”
The Great Priest stopped when she called out to him. He was just about to attack Long Chen when Granny Huang passed on the information. Then he immediately recalled everything he had learned about that man. While the circumstances and history were correct, the information about his strength was not.
“You are Long Chen?” The Great Priest knew Long Chen could not escape, so he relaxed.
“He’s Long Chen?” Li Jing and the other two were surprised to hear that the expert who had stepped in was Long Chen!
