Chapter 383 - Killing

Yang Danfeng was shocked that Long Chen had mastered Traceless Demon Shadow in twenty days. He himself had taken five times as long to master it, and he was a rare prodigy in the Heavenly Demon Palace. This meant that Long Chen was the prodigy of prodigies.

When he found out that Long Chen had completed the first stage of the Demon Seed Planting Technique in only three days, he could only say that Long Chen was nonhuman.

However, Yang Danfeng would never accept this!

That’s impossible! He must have used some kind of trick! Maybe Zhao Qingyun has been mentoring him in secret for a long time and only introduced him to the public when Long Chen mastered them!

Both of them were in their strongest forms.

“Good, good! Not bad! This is not bad at all! However, you have successfully made me angry!” As he spoke, Yang Danfeng put away his sword. He was best at finger techniques, so when Long Chen used the Demon Seed Planting Technique, he truly felt threatened and was forced to use his true combat abilities.

“Abyssal Piercing Finger Technique! This is an extremely powerful technique ranked just below the Demon Emperor Sword Technique. Out of all the advanced Earth-tier techniques, this is one of the best! My master has complete mastery over it, and while I have only scratched the surface, it’s enough to kill you, Long Chen! Since you won’t let me leave, then enjoy this!” Yang Danfeng sneered.

“Idiot,” Long Chen said gently.

“What did you say?” Yang Danfeng had always been a favored disciple with a high rank, and he had never been afraid of anyone other than the three Demon Elders and Zhao Qingyun. A line was crossed when a newcomer like Long Chen insulted him. He flew into a rage and his Qi exploded to its maximum level, preparing his finger attack directed at Long Chen!

“Abyssal Piercing Finger, Moving Starry River!”

This was the most powerful Abyssal Piercing Finger technique. Usually, only Ninth River Stage cultivators were able to use this move, but Yang Danfeng was exceptional! Rays of light shot out of his finger and flew at Long Chen like swords flying through space. It was so powerful that even the stars in the sky seemed to tremble!

“Son of trash! Will you be able to withstand this?” Yang Danfeng let out a bout of manic laughter as he launched the attack. With the boost from the Demon Seed Planting Technique, the intensity of his attack rose. His aura took the shape of a large finger and shot directly at Long Chen!

Long Chen chuckled and his eyes flashed coldly!

“Blood Devouring Domain ...”

This was Long Chen’s final attack. Under Long Chen’s control, blood-red mist spread across the area. Being at the same level as Long Chen, Yang Danfeng needed to use at least half of his Qi to suppress his boiling blood or his blood would be sucked away and he would die!

“What the hell is this?” This was Yang Danfeng’s first time seeing the Blood Devouring Domain, so he was terrified. The mist swirled around him and turned into dragons, sticking onto his body. Then the strong sucking force made his face go pale!

He felt as if his blood was boiling as it surged chaotically. Moments ago, he had been guiding most of his Qi to launch his most powerful attack, but now he was being forced to use part of it to suppress the effects of the Blood Devouring Domain. If not, blood would spray out of his body and he would die in a grotesque manner!

When Yang Danfeng had to weaken his final attack because he had to re-distribute part of his Qi, Long Chen knew that his opportunity had come. His body exploded using Traceless Demon Shadow, and he dashed, thrusting his Star Sword forward. Then he disappeared!

“Shadow Sword Technique!”

This was Long Chen’s first time using the Shadow Sword Technique. And how could a technique that Ling Xi taught him be simple? Yang Danfeng instantly felt an energy that suffocated him. He looked up fearfully, and multiple sword shadows appeared in front of him, along with Long Chen’s Traceless Demon Shadow! Yang Danfeng lost his mind when he saw how dense the attack was!

He was in mortal danger!

At that moment, Dongfang Xuanxiao had led Xuanming over, and they were shocked to see this. From the other end, the three Demon Elders rushed over and also saw them!

“No!” They were too far away, so it was impossible for them to save Yang Danfeng. They roared so loudly that their voices shook the heavens, but it was useless. Long Chen’s eyes were cold and his sword, as intended, slid across Yang Danfeng’s neck. He retracted his Blood Devouring Domain when he succeeded.

Long Chen had sensed the arrival of the three Demon Elders. He called Xiaolang over, then, without a word, stood in front of Dongfang Xuanxiao.

Dongfang Xuanxiao stared at the teenager, who stood tall with the Star Sword in hand. Fresh blood dripped slowly from it.

The three Demon Elders finally arrived. Their eyes widened as they stared at Yang Danfeng in shock and discovered a line of blood on his neck. Yang Danfeng stared back at them with horror in his eyes, unmoving.

“Danfeng!” the First Demon Elder screamed before rushing towards Yang Danfeng. When he touched Yang Danfeng’s body, the latter’s head came loose and tumbled to the ground, leaving a trail of blood as it rolled several times.

The First Demon Elder clutched the headless corpse, which started to spray out a large amount of blood, leaving him drenched!

Twenty years of mentorship. All that was left was this cold corpse.

Long Chen had already been mentally prepared to kill Yang Danfeng. He guessed that Yang Danfeng was behind this and that he would be nearby. His guess had been proven correct.

Although he had killed Yang Danfeng, he remained calm. He stared at the three Demon Elders coldly without any intention of retreating. He had already planned this by telling Wang Xing to find Zhao Qingyun. Before he fought Yang Danfeng, he had already spotted Zhao Qingyun using the Soul Swallowing Gaze, but Zhao Qingyun never showed himself; he merely watched from the dark.

Long Chen knew in his heart that this was Zhao Qingyun’s way of giving him permission to do this. That was why he had intensified his attack and killed Yang Danfeng before the three Demon Elders arrived, even beheading him using the Shadow Sword Technique.

Zhao Qingyun was hiding not far away from Long Chen’s left side.

The First Demon Elder stared at his disciple in a daze with disbelief in his eyes, then regret, anger, and finally killing intent. He placed Yang Danfeng’s body and head in his Universe Pouch, then glared at Long Chen with blood-red eyes!

The other two Demon Elders were filled with grief! Yang Danfeng was the most outstanding disciple, and because he was male, they focused more on him than on Murong Yu. They had spent a lot of effort on him, but it had all amounted to nothing because of Long Chen!

They had already wanted to kill Long Chen, so why wouldn’t they act now? They looked at each other, and then the youngest of the trio, the Third Demon Elder, took a step forward and said, “Big Brother, I’ll do it! He killed Yang Danfeng! Even the Palace Lord’s disciple can’t escape death after this. Let me kill him! Big Brother, I’m begging you!”

“Don’t let him die too quickly ...” the elderly First Demon Elder said in a hoarse voice. It was clear that he was trying his best to control his emotions!

“I understand!” The Third Demon Elder approached Long Chen with a sneer on his face and was in front of him in a flash. He was ready to attack when a middle-aged-looking man with white hair appeared between them. It was Zhao Qingyun!

“Palace Lord!” The Third Demon Elder gasped and quickly retreated to the side of the other two Demon Elders. He knew that he could easily kill Long Chen, but the three of them could not defeat Zhao Qingyun even if they fought him together.

There was a momentary quiet. Zhao Qingyun’s cold gaze met the First Demon Elder’s violent glare. The elderly First Demon Elder suddenly turned into an awakened beast, radiating a terrifying, wild aura.

“Palace Lord! I spent the last twenty years of my life mentoring my disciple! And he’s gone, just like that! If you don’t settle this appropriately, I’m afraid this will not end peacefully,” said the First Demon Elder after a moment of silence.

This meant that if Zhao Qingyun did not hand Long Chen over, then he would never give up.

“First Demon Elder, actually, there are a few things that do not need to be said out loud,” Zhao Qingyun suddenly said. He had actually arrived not long after Long Chen, so he was clear about everything that had happened.

The First Demon Elder was startled by Zhao Qingyun’s words. He knew that it was very likely that Zhao Qingyun already knew of their plan.

Long Chen then said loudly, “I don’t think you know what just happened. Yang Danfeng conspired with an outsider and let him sneak into the Heavenly Demon Palace in order to kill my stepfather. What kind of cruel and ungrateful person would target the Palace Lord’s son-in-law? Say, do you think he deserved to live? As my stepfather’s stepson, should I have spared him?”

“Nonsense! You have no evidence to make such accusations!” The Third Demon Elder laughed coldly. “Do you think we should just take your word for it? Where’s your proof? Where are your witnesses? Also, Long Chen, even if Danfeng had committed an error, what right do you have to kill him? We are the ones who enforce punishment! I think you have committed a huge sin, and you are the one who deserves to die!”
