Chapter 559 - Wind God Kick

With the emergence of the Ancient Demon Domain squad, all of the top parties were present.

After the Black Water Viper’s show of might, its massive body rose once more, blocking out the sun as it looked down on the crowd. It was deeply nervous about three specific humans, which were Long Yue, Yang Ningfeng, and Jiang Wuxie.

Long Yue landed in front of Long Chen and the others and said, “Everyone, back off. The Black Water Viper has swallowed the Red Emperor Seal, so we have no choice but to kill it. There will be a huge battle, and you all must stay safe. Wuya, protect them well.”

Jiang Wuya nodded and led Long Chen and the rest to retreat quickly. On the other side, everyone from the Martial Alliance except for Yang Ningfeng left as well. Since the Red Emperor Seal was in the Black Water Viper’s body, this meant that the only useful person in their group was the Martial Emperor.

“I know who you are! You’re the Demon Emperor of the Ancient Demon Domain! I am Yang Ningfeng; how have you been?” Yang Ningfeng said with a smile.

When Jiang Wuxie saw that his identity had been exposed, he did not continue to hide himself. He instructed the two Demon Saints to retreat with his son, then he said with a smile, “So it’s Great Priest Yang of the Wind God Sect! It’s been a long time.”

Jiang Wuxie had purposely not used the title the Martial Alliance had given him, but instead hit him where it hurt the most. There was an intention to mock him within his words, and Yang Ningfeng was painfully aware. However, this was not the time for him to rage, so he said coldly, “What was the Wind God Sect worth anyway? I am one of the Three Martial Emperors of the Martial Alliance, Yang Ningfeng. And you, Demon Emperor, are a grand elder of the Martial Alliance. In fact, we’re actually comrades.”

Long Yue and the Martial Alliance were enemies, and she also had a terrible relationship with the Ancient Demon Domain. On the other hand, Jiang Wuxie was part of the Martial Alliance. If he and Yang Ningfeng worked together, they would likely succeed in beating both Long Yue and the Black Water Viper.

But the Demon Emperor was no idiot. If he agreed to it, who would get the Red Emperor Seal in the end?

If he fought as a member of the Martial Alliance, he would never get the Red Emperor Seal. That was why Jiang Wuxie said, “True, true, but right now, the Black Water Viper has swallowed the Red Emperor Seal. Let’s work together to deal with the Black Water Viper first, then we’ll talk. Long Yue, what do you think?”

He intended to remain neutral, which was why he had chosen to seek an opinion from Long Yue.

He’s an old fox.

Long Yue smirked to herself and said, “Since we have all come for the Red Emperor Seal and the Black Water Viper has swallowed it, how will we ever get the seal without killing it first?”

“In that case, let the three of us work together. All grudges can wait until after the Black Water Viper dies. What do you think?” said Jiang Wuxie, looking at the two of them.

Long Yue and Yang Ningfeng could only nod.

This was the only way.

Of course, there were too many unpredictable factors, so all of them remained cautious.

Long Chen was paying close attention to them. The Martial Alliance and the Ancient Demon Domain were considered allies, and both also wanted to exterminate the Dragon clan. If they worked together, Jiang Wuya and the others would also be in danger.

Jiang Wuya also had the same thought, so he said, “The Ancient Demon Domain and the Martial Alliance have four Second Earthly Martial Realm cultivators in total. If the four of them work together, they can definitely kill us all. No one expected this to happen. If we stay here, we’ll only become a burden to Yue’er. That is why we must leave.”

Everyone thought about it and realized it made sense. Long Yue was very strong and she could retreat safely if the Martial Emperor and the Demon Emperor worked together to kill her. However, it would be different with them nearby. If they were held hostage, it would end badly.

Everyone nodded.

“In that case, we’ll leave now!” Jiang Wuya instructed.

Long Chen, however, suddenly said, “Everyone, I would like to stay.”

“Why?” Jiang Wuya asked hurriedly. They had already come to an agreement, but Long Chen suddenly wanted to stay?

“I have a technique that allows me to travel five kilometers very quickly. At my current level, even a Third Earthly Martial Stage cultivator cannot catch me. I want to stay and watch for a while so that if anything happens to Big Sister, I can inform you guys. If someone tries to attack me, I can use my technique to escape,” Long Chen explained.

Everyone knew about his technique.

It was a good idea for Long Chen to stay behind and become their lookout. That was why Jiang Wuya nodded and said, “We will be five kilometers away in this direction. If you’re in danger or Yue’er is in danger, you must come to us immediately! Remember that!”

“Second Brother, everyone, don’t worry. I know my limits,” Long Chen said solemnly.

They knew his personality well too.

Now that their next course of action had been decided, they all looked at each other and started moving immediately. Jiang Wuya led the other four away while Long Chen remained in the same spot. Everyone else saw them leave, but without the Martial Emperor or the Demon Emperor’s instructions, they did not move.

The Red Emperor Seal was their highest priority. To prevent further unexpected events, they did not instruct their people to give chase.

However, the fact that the Dragon clan had left behind a teenager at the Heavenly Passage Realm surprised them, especially Jiang Wushang.

Long Yue was happy with Jiang Wuya’s decision, because this was exactly what she needed. If the Martial Alliance and the Ancient Demon Domain worked together, the Dragon clan would surely die. But why had Long Chen stayed?

Then she thought of his escape technique and understood.

In that case, she could now focus completely on the battle ahead.

Long Chen was also watching closely. This battle would help him comprehend the Martial Realm greatly.

“Hiss!”

The Black Water Viper felt an immense pressure when it was surrounded by three Third Earthly Martial Realm cultivators. This also provoked it greatly. There was a crackling sound coming from its body, and they realized that it was shrinking!

That gigantic body is its original form, which could easily kill off tens of thousands of regular cultivators with just one breath of the venom mist. However, now that it’s battling stronger cultivators, shrinking down will make its attacks more concentrated and it’ll be much faster and more agile. The only drawback is that his range will be smaller!

This was Long Chen’s guess.

Very soon, the Black Water Viper was now only a hundredth of its initial size and a tenth of the Blood Ocean Viper’s size. The Blood Ocean Viper was previously hundreds of meters long, but now, the Black Water Viper was only thirty meters long and less than half a meter wide!

However, it was now more terrifying because it was both tough and agile!

Long Chen guessed that this was its strongest form.

The three Third Earthly Martial Stage masters were nervous when it shrank down to its smaller form. There was a thick tension in the air and no one dared to move first.

The Black Water Viper held its head high up and emerged completely from the mud and coiled up. As its body twisted and turned, it displayed shocking strength.

Strange trails were left behind as it moved its tail, and to Long Chen’s surprise, even the King-tier demonic beast's movements were connected with the pulse of the earth. The King-tier and the Earthly Martial Realm were both on the same level.

This was why King-tier beasts were so powerful.

“Hiss!”

A bright, red forked tongue darted in and out of its mouth.

Jiang Wuxie and Yang Ningfeng looked at each other. Jiang Wuxie said, “Yang Ningfeng, I hear that your Wind God Kick is the number one kick technique in the whole Divine Martial Empire! Will I have the honor of witnessing it?”

Yang Ningfeng smiled and said, “I hear that the Demon Emperor’s Ancient Demon Punch is the Divine Martial Empire’s number one punching technique! Will I have the honor of witnessing it?”

“You two are dilly-dallying and being absolute cowards! You have lost my respect,” Long Yue said expressionlessly when she heard their banter. Then she disappeared and reappeared in front of the Black Water Viper.

Red scales covered her whole body. Long Chen was familiar with this because it was the Dragon Soul Transformation! The transformation was quickly completed. Just like Long Chen, not only was her body much tougher than before, but the quality of her Qi was much more concentrated. Of course, it had not strengthened as much as Long Chen’s Qi, which became ten times stronger.

Long Yue was not a true Dragon Warrior after all, only the descendant of one.

Light red dragon scales covered her entire body. It looked like a layer of clothing fit tightly on her body, revealing her graceful curves. Due to her feminine figure, her Dragon Soul Transformation looked better than Long Chen’s form.

Of course, that was from a male perspective ...

After seeing Long Yue’s Dragon Soul Transformation, Fat Cat scoffed. “So it’s the lowest-level dragon, the Red Dragon. Green Dragons and Red Dragons were the equivalent of normal humans who did not cultivate in the Ancient Era. The difference between them and the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon is as big as the distance between heaven and earth. Of course, that girl thinks you’re part of her family since you’re both red.”

Long Chen nodded. Her Dragon Soul Transformation indeed looked similar to his.

However, Green and Red Dragons were only normal people? How terrifying was the Dragon Continent in the Ancient Era?

Long Chen really wanted to travel back in time to see how the dragons who ruled the Dragon Continent went extinct.

Such terrifying creatures should have been able to survive! Why had they all disappeared?

Long Chen could not figure it out.

Long Yue’s mocking tone and her Dragon Soul Transformation had provoked the Black Water Viper.

“If you guys don’t want the Red Emperor Seal, I’m taking it.” Then, with a

whoosh

, she rushed towards the Black Water Viper. The two emperors locked eyes and quickly attacked. They only needed a person to begin. With her leading them, they followed suit.

The three Third Earthly Martial Stage cultivators surrounded the Black Water Viper in three directions.

“Hiss!”

The Black Water Viper let out ear-piercing hisses!

The battle had begun!
