Chapter 269 - Killing the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch

The crowd was cheering because the Nine Heavens Dragon Ascension and the Nine Spinning Fire Shields were clashing for the first time! Everyone thought Long Chen was dead, but now they saw that there was hope.

The Nine Heavens Dragon Ascension landed on the Nine Spinning Fire Shields.

Explosions rang out continuously and the yellow soil was blasted away, kicking up another dust cloud and obstructing the view once more.

The spectators could barely see that the Nine Spinning Fire Shields was still rotating and dispersing the power of the Nine Heavens Dragon Ascension. The scattered power blasted out holes everywhere on the surrounding soil.

Long Chen was facing immense pressure; he felt like he was blocking a mountain. It was heavy, but Long Chen was very happy that the Nine Spinning Fire Shields was able to block the Nine Heavens Dragon Ascension! The purpose of the Nine Spinning Fire Shields was not to block attacks head-on. Through rotation, it could disperse the power to its surroundings!

“How is this possible?!” Sensing that his attack was useless, the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch was stunned, and his eyes grew red from killing intent. “Long Chen, do you think you can stop me like that? Die!”

The Patriarch used even more of his Qi to empower his attack. The huge amount of energy made Long Chen take a few steps back.

“Die?” Long Chen gritted his teeth and blocked it vehemently. He would not allow the Patriarch to get any sort of advantage! When he felt that it was time, Long Chen suddenly lowered one of his arms and retrieved the Azure Dragon Halberd.

“You shitty bastard! Do you still not understand who will die here today?” Long Chen roared.

When the Nine Spinning Fire Shields first blocked the Patriach’s attack, Long Chen knew that there was hope. His eyes were cold when the mysterious red whirlpools appeared on his scales, and a strong devouring energy filled the air.

“Blood Devouring Domain!”

Long Chen finally used his unique martial technique! The blood-red mist covered the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch. This time, Long Chen focused on just the Patriarch, causing the effects to be magnified by several times!

“What is this?” While using all of his Qi to empower his attack, the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch’s face paled when he felt his blood going berserk after he was engulfed by the red mist. His blood was ignoring him as it thrashed wildly in his body. The internal organs were the softest part of the human body, and with them getting damaged, the Patriarch could not focus on attacking!

In fact, he felt like he lost a portion of his control over his technique and felt the backlash damaging his organs!

“What is this? Long Chen! What kind of monster are you?!” The calm Patriarch instantly panicked when he sensed what was happening. His woeful shout made the spectators who heard him go numb from fear.

They could only barely see the Patriarch inside the red mist.

“I won’t say much, but I promised myself I would kill you the moment you made my baby Ling Xi fall asleep. And now I will fulfill it!”

Long Chen scoffed and deactivated the Nine Fire Spinning Shields. He used his body to block whatever the Patriarch threw at him and lifted his halberd. The Azure Dragon Halberd roared as Long Chen dragged it across the ground and launched another Azure Dragon at the Patriarch.

“Die to your most cherished technique! Azure Dragon Technique, Nine Heavens Dragon Ascension!”

The Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch had spent all of his Qi and was almost locked down by the Blood Devouring Domain. When he saw the Azure Dragon illusion approaching him, he finally felt despair.

“Impossible! How could I be killed by you?! This can’t be! I won’t allow it! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!”

Everyone felt their heart drop when they heard the Patriarch’s final cry before his death. They saw the Patriarch get swallowed by the Azure Dragon illusion before being carried into the sky and crashing back down onto the ground.

After being struck by the Nine Heavens Dragon Ascension, the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch’s skeleton was shattered, his veins were severed, and his organs were ruptured. He was dead before he even hit the ground.

Long Chen put the halberd away and deactivated his transformation. He stood in front of the Patriarch’s corpse and stared listlessly.

Everyone was silent when they saw what had happened, then an eruption of noise deafened the entire city.

Everyone’s minds were blank on the city walls. They had just witnessed a miracle, and no one could believe it. Even their voices trembled.

“Hey ... Did I see that right? Did Long Chen just defeat the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch?”

“I think so ... I don’t think my eyesight is going bad ... I saw it too!”

“Don’t be stupid! This is reality! Long Chen is a fucking monster of a genius! He’s not even twenty and he killed the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch!”

“Shit. He’s a monster ...”

Long Chen’s status in Yuanling City had just been elevated to that of a leader of the city.

Some were happy, while others were sad.

The Dawn Trading Alliance was the only one who stood to gain something from this. Both of the Dawn Trading Alliance’s opposing factions were being weakened.

The Beast Soul Palace was most likely going to lose the Immortal Guard position and the right to rule the county, so they were worried.

The Lingwu family, however, was left with nothing but anger and hatred.

All of them had watched Long Chen kill the Patriarch with their own eyes. They didn’t want to believe it, but it was real.

Even though the Patriarch and Long Chen had agreed that the battle was to end all of their grudges and they could not lay a hand on Long Chen or his family again, most of the Lingwu family forgot that and ran down the wall.

But the black-clothed butler blocked them. “Lingwu family, do you want your entire family to be eradicated?”

The Lingwu family froze when they heard the threat. They stopped, forced to suppress their anger.

“Don’t forget your promise to Long Chen. You are the strongest family in Yuanling City and yet you can’t honor such a simple promise?” the Ninth Prince asked in a calm voice.

The members of the Lingwu family felt their hair stand on end.

Even though their hearts were on the verge of bursting from hate and anger, they had no choice but to swallow it. The death of the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch was a severe blow to them.

They still could not believe it.

Even those not related to them couldn’t believe it.

When the Lingwu family was blocked by the Ninth Prince, the crowd shouted something again. They saw the black wolf howling into the air. The mangled body of the Northern Black Tortoise Patriarch was under Mo Xiaolang’s feet. A black flash of light flew back to the Northern Black Tortoise family’s mausoleum—the Black Tortoise Axe.

“Our fourth brother is also dead!”

The Lingwu family didn’t know how to react to that. All of them lost hope, and many of them collapsed from the shock.

The Lingwu family had lost two of their Patriarchs. Their glory as the strongest family in Yuanling City was now gone. Everyone knew that the unknown Long Chen was the one responsible for their downfall.

Long Chen. His name would now be forever chanted in the city!

No one had ever single-handedly defeated a superpower in Yuanling City, but Long Chen had managed to do it!

“My Lord, please allow us to take our elder brother and fourth brother home,” the Western White Tiger Patriarch said, his voice hoarse and wizened.

“Go ahead,” the Ninth Prince responded calmly.

The Lingwu family had lost, and they needed to leave now. They would only embarrass themselves more if they stayed.

Everyone watched the Lingwu family carefully collect the corpses of the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch and the Northern Black Tortoise Patriarch before leaving. Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang took a step back to give them space.

There was no right or wrong. Long Chen and the Lingwu family had become enemies long ago, and it was either his life or theirs. It was only natural that someone would die today. If Long Chen had not worked hard, he would’ve been the one on the ground.

So he felt no pity. The winner taking everything was a very common occurrence.

No one from the Lingwu family dared to even take a glance at Long Chen. All of them were afraid of him.

Yin Mengyao was also hiding within the crowd. She had watched the entire fight as she tightly held onto the letter Long Chen had given her. It was the letter explaining that Mo Xiaolang was still alive.

She was not sad after hearing the news of Mo Xiaolang’s death, because she had read the letter first. She was here to ask Long Chen about Mo Xiaolang, but she realized that she could not approach him, as Long Chen was far too radiant.

Is this the same kid that I teamed up with just a few months ago to enter the inner family?

Yin Mengyao thought she was dreaming.

Just then, she looked at the Sun Devouring Wolf beside Long Chen.

Why are the eyes of the beast so pure? Have I seen them somewhere before?

Yin Mengyao stared at the beast for a while, lost in thought.
