Chapter 582 - Act

Huangfu Fengyun had always doted on her, but now she was nothing. He ignored her and punched Long Chen, setting off a massive shockwave in the room.

“You don’t even care about Huangfu Qi’s safety. What a pity.” Long Chen sighed and quickly retreated with Huangfu Qi. He then ran out of the building in one go.

“Chase after him! Don’t let him escape!” Huangfu Yu followed his father and called on the others to quickly chase after Long Chen.

The others were outside the building when the wall exploded and Long Chen ran out with Huangfu Qi. Huangfu Fengyun led the others to chase after them.

“Stop that bastard! He killed Wu’er!”

When someone shouted that out loud, the others immediately understood what had transpired. All of them glared angrily at Long Chen and chased after him.

Long Chen landed and placed the panicking Huangfu Qi on the ground. “Qiqi, don’t worry. Your uncle can’t defeat me. Go and call your father.”

Huangfu Qi nodded. She was certain that Long Chen would never do that, so she quickly ran towards where her father was.

Huangfu Fengyun and five Earthly Martial Realm cultivators surrounded Long Chen.

“Long Chen you bastard. I will kill you today to appease Wu’er’s soul!” Huangfu Yu almost shouted his lungs out.

The others stood behind Huangfu Fengyun while three cultivators at the First Earthly Martial Stage tried to pull Huangfu Yu back. Even so, his bestial eyes and howls looked very real.

“Not bad. Huangfu Yu, you are a really talented actor.” Long Chen smiled bitterly.

If Huangfu Fengchen didn’t arrive soon, Long Chen would have no choice but to fight.

He was itching to fight someone at the Second Earthly Martial Stage.

After absorbing the Inherited Blood Essence, he had been feeling abnormally competitive. Combat made his blood boil and excited him a lot.

“Little Yu, give me the Golden Warlord Spear.” Huangfu Fengyun was an expert, and the spear was originally his. He hadn't used it in a while, so he had loaned it to Huangfu Yu in hopes that his son could become stronger, but to think he had lost to Long Chen.

Huangfu Yu tossed him the golden spear and yelled, “Father, kill him for me!”

“Don’t worry. I won’t be able to meet our ancestors if he doesn’t die today.” Huangfu Fengyun took the spear and swung it around. A golden whirlwind formed and shot towards Long Chen.

The golden light enveloped Long Chen. As expected of someone at the Second Earthly Martial Stage—his attack was ten times stronger than Huangfu Yu’s.

This was a true expert that had lived through real tribulations.

Huangfu Fengyun had plenty of combat experience. He was in a different category than Huangfu Yu.

Splat!

Long Chen could not avoid one of the attacks, so it pierced through his arm. The force from the impact sent him flying! He crashed through a tree before landing in the pond.

Splash!

A large plume of water flew upwards.

“He’s dead!” Everyone cheered because they thought it was a simple matter for a legendary figure like Huangfu Fengyun to kill someone younger with just a single blow.

“Long Chen is an idiot for thinking that the Huangfu family is weak.”

“He dared to harm one of us! To think he’s so arrogant to blatantly disregard us!”

“It’s such a shame that he died so early. Wu’er was such a pretty lady, yet he killed her. I wouldn’t have given him such a quick death.”

Everyone started chatting after they thought Long Chen was dead.

“What are you talking about? He’s not dead,” one of the Earthly Martial Realm experts told them.

When Long Chen fell into the pond, Huangfu Fengyun stood on the surface of the water and looked down.

“Come out.” He thrusted the Golden Warlord Spear downwards, causing the pond to explode. The pond was split in half, revealing even the muddy bottom.

Everyone saw Long Chen at the bottom of the pond. He stood up and approached Huangfu Fengyun. Long Chen was completely different now because he was covered in blood-red scales and bone spikes. His claws were five centimeters long, and each of them resembled a blood-red blade. The way he looked left a deep impression on the onlookers.

Long Chen’s strongest body part was undoubtedly his claws.

Everyone was shocked by how he looked. They had thought Long Chen was dead.

“Why is Long Chen fine? And why is he stronger now?”

Long Chen knew that he would have to transform to face off against Huangfu Fengyun. His Dragon Soul Transformation was one of his trump cards.

The blood-red glow of the Golden Crow Flames covered his body. The fire and his essence melded perfectly.

It was rare to see such a perfect melding.

Huangfu Fengyun frowned and twirled his spear when he saw Long Chen. “Child’s play. You are just putting on an act.”

Huangfu Fengyun thrusted the Golden Warlord Spear numerous times. The afterimages blanketed Long Chen.

The pond slowly leveled out. Long Chen wasn’t adept at fighting on air; he would rather fight on the surface of the pond since it didn’t affect his combat capabilities at all.

Huangfu Fengyun was fast. He suddenly swung his spear at Long Chen. That was how Long Chen was blown back previously.

The golden spear was like a snake that whipped towards Long Chen’s neck. Everyone was looking forward to seeing Long Chen get decapitated, but ...

Clang!

Sparks flew and Long Chen managed to block the Golden Warlord Spear with just his hands. The spear wouldn’t budge no matter what.

“Is this all you got? Huangfu Fengyun, you are getting old.” Long Chen chuckled and moved his arm. He smashed the spear off his body and punched Huangfu Fengyun’s heart with his other arm.

“Bastard! Die!” Huangfu Fengyun was shocked. He never thought he would have to defend against Long Chen’s attacks!

“Are you running? Aren’t you the honorable Huangfu Fengyun?” Long Chen chuckled.

It wasn’t because he wanted to run, but Long Chen’s attacks and defense were too strong. Huangfu Fengyun was beyond shocked by this.

He’s indeed strong! I thought the rumors were false, but it seems he really did kill the Void Sword Saint! I cannot be careless and tarnish my reputation here!

That was why Huangfu Fengyun was being so careful.

He ignored Long Chen’s taunt and continued fighting at a range he was comfortable with. He needed more space to unleash the strength of the Golden Warlord Spear.

It was simple enough for him to do so.

He pushed Long Chen back with numerous thrusts, but Long Chen had expected it.

“Is that all you got?” Long Chen chuckled. He had a feeling that the only way to defeat Huangfu Fengyun was to pour everything into offense.

The onlookers were surprised when Long Chen’s claws suddenly lit up in flames. There were numerous illusions of dragons swimming in the flames. For some reason, they could even hear the dragons roaring.

Golden Crow Flames and the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw. It was an absurdly strong combination.

Long Chen laughed and became a blur of red as he charged towards Huangfu Fengyun.

“Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw!”

Everyone recognized the technique.

But the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw had undergone a transformation when Long Chen used it.

“Hmph! Such a technique could never compare to the Huangfu family’s Warlord Spear Technique!” Huangfu Fengyun laughed and launched numerous Sun Piercing Rays using the Golden Warlord Spear.

It was sunrise. The sun was just rising in the east, and Long Chen positioned himself with his back facing it. Every time Huangfu Fengyun thrusted the Golden Warlord Spear, it created a ray of light that shot towards Long Chen!
