Chapter 596 – Lightning Vulture Talons

“Who are you?! Who are you?! Who are you?!” Old Vulture panicked when he felt the immense force of the attack. His opponent was clearly at the Second Earthly Martial Stage and was much stronger than Lei Zhen. Old Vulture had only managed to cause such large harm to Lei Zhen mainly because he had caught the latter off guard.

Old Vulture knew his own abilities well. When he exchanged blows with the intruder, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to kill this person in a short time!

He was privately panicking too because now Long Chen knew that he had attacked Lei Zhen, meaning his crime would be exposed. The key to his plan was to make sure the killer was unknown so that he could pin the blame on Zhao Danchen. Then he would take the opportunity to let his son, Lei Ming, become clan leader. However, if everyone knew that he had killed Lei Zhen, the whole Battle clan would see both him and his son as enemies!

The Battle clan had always refused to surrender. The clan was very united, so every clan member hated killing between clan members the most!

Long Chen’s appearance had completely disrupted Old Vulture’s plan!

After Long Chen knocked him up into the air, another dark figure rushed out—Jiang Wuya. Jiang Wuya’s face was green, especially when he saw Lei Zhen’s condition!

Everyone quickly arrived too.

“Old Vulture, there must be something wrong with your head! The Martial Alliance is the enemy, and yet you want to kill Lei Zhen!” Jiang Wuya cried through gritted teeth. His voice was thick with killing intent!

“Second Brother! I’ll deal with him! You take care of Fourth Brother!” Long Chen said with a cold voice.

When Jiang Wuya looked at Long Chen and sensed his killing intent, he felt like he had fallen into a freezer!

Long Chen’s heart filled with rage when he saw Lei Zhen’s wounds. He considered every member of the Dragon clan a person that he needed to protect. He had prioritized coming to the Battle clan instead of leaving to search for more information about the Ancient Graveyard because he took this brotherhood seriously!

Although Lei Zhen’s injuries were not fatal, Long Chen’s blood boiled. He knew that if he had discovered the plot just a little later and taken just a few seconds longer to arrive, Lei Zhen would likely have been killed by Old Vulture!

And if Lei Zhen died, Long Chen would not be able to fully vent his anger even if Old Vulture died a hundred times!

Long Chen shot a venomous glare at him!

“You bastard! How dare you hurt my Fourth Brother! You have a death wish!” Long Chen roared. He looked terrifying in his dragon form. Violent dragon aura erupted from his body and radiated toward Old Vulture.

Then blood-red mist enveloped Long Chen and flowed towards Old Vulture.

It’s that teenager!

Old Vulture was utterly shocked. He recognized Long Chen from his voice!

Long Chen was only at the First Earthly Martial Stage, so how was his attack powerful? And how could there be such immense power radiating from his body?!

It would be difficult for a cultivator to radiate this level of power without reaching the Second Earthly Martial Stage.

But when Jiang Wuya appeared, Old Vulture lost all hope. He knew that his plan had failed completely. What rose within him next was not fear, but madness! All the emotions erupted within him!

“So you figured out my plan? Great! Everyone must die! Everyone must die!” Old Vulture laughed like a madman.

Long Chen took a few steps forward, locked in a stalemate with Old Vulture. Jiang Wuya initially wanted to tell Long Chen that he would deal with Old Vulture, but he swallowed his words. At the final moment, he realized that he trusted Long Chen.

When he was at the Ninth Passage Stage, he defeated an Earthly Martial Realm master. Now that he is at the Earthly Martial Realm, he might actually be able to defeat Old Vulture.

Ever since they saved Long Chen from the Ancient Demon Domain, he had shown them miracle after miracle.

Before Long Chen attacked, the Battle Kings and everyone else started to arrive.

When more people gathered, Old Vulture’s eyes turned blood-red.

Long Chen studied Old Vulture, who had undergone the Beast Soul Transformation. He was covered in blue feathers that looked like steel blades. Terrifying blue lightning flowed all over them, providing him with a powerful defense. At the same time, like Long Chen, his fingers turned into sharp talons with crackles of blue electricity flowing on them.

Clearly, he had a vulture-type Beast Soul, and it was a strong one too.

“Everyone is here! That’s fine! Everyone must die! Might as well let the Martial Alliance kill off the whole Battle clan—that would be for the best!” Old Vulture roared manically. When he saw that his son was being held hostage by Jian Chen, he let out a furious roar and charged towards them.

𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Whoosh!

Long Chen stood in his way.

Old Vulture was likely as strong as Huangfu Fengchen, so Long Chen was confident in defeating him. His claws burned with Golden Crow Flames, and he rushed in front of Old Vulture, immediately waving them to unleash the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw!

“Seventh Brother!”

Everyone cried out anxiously when they saw Long Chen attack. They were naturally worried for his safety, but then they saw that his attack was forcing Old Vulture back!

“Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw!” They watched Long Chen with joyful surprise, especially Jiang Wuya and the others. They recognized the attack as it was the technique that Long Yue was best at!

It was magnificent! Cool! Violent!

This battle surpassed everyone’s expectations!

Old Vulture felt immense pressure from battling Long Chen!

The brat knows the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw, and his cultivation level isn’t low!

Old Vulture immediately sensed that Long Chen was quite a terrifying opponent. Slashes of blood-red Claw Seals flew towards him, and every Claw Seal contained a blood-red dragon whose jaws were open, making them look terrifying. He could already sense the bloodlust within them before they even approached him!

Old Vulture roared. His face changed and he waved his talons very quickly, creating Talon Seals that formed a web of lightning that flew toward Long Chen!

Sizzle!

Both seals collided, and everyone saw two silhouettes quickly moving within the countless ever-changing seals. It was impossible to tell them apart. Blood-red flames and blue lightning collided constantly!

“Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw!” Old Vulture was an old man after all, and Long Chen knew that Old Vulture was no match for himself. His Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw was much more powerful than Old Vulture’s attack, especially with the boost from the Golden Crow Flames. Every time Old Vulture was hit once, the blood-red flames quickly wrapped around his body. Old Vulture spent a huge amount of essence to block off the flames!

Beneath the Battle Emperor, the second strongest member of the Battle clan was Old Vulture, who was the only Battle Saint. Long Chen’s storm of attacks left the Battle Saint shouting with pain while constantly forcing him back!

This fight had left everyone stunned, not just Old Vulture.

When the Battle clan’s Battle Kings witnessed this, they had mixed feelings. What they wanted most was to question Old Vulture and ask why he would do such a thing. However, when they arrived, Old Vulture’s crazed declarations made them swallow their words. Right now, they could only watch to see what would happen!

Thankfully, Lei Zhen was no longer in mortal danger. If he took some time to rest, he would heal from his injuries!

Jiang Wuya should have been the one to deal with masters like the Old Vulture. However, Long Chen had stepped up, and he looked even more fierce than Jiang Wuya. Old Vulture was no match for him at all!

Does this mean that the second strongest member of the Dragon clan isn’t the Second Earthly Martial Stage Jiang Wuya, but Long Chen?!

Everyone was privately shocked!

His Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw has directly suppressed Old Vulture’s Lightning Vulture Talons! Long Chen isn’t just intelligent enough to expose Old Vulture and Lei Ming’s plot, he is also a strong fighter. Is he also stronger than Jiang Wuya?

The Battle Kings started to analyze the situation.

How would today’s events end?

At the end of the day, the Battle clan considered the act of hurting a fellow clan member to be a great tragedy. At first, they were stunned by Long Chen’s strength, but then they looked at each other with heavy hearts, as they had to face the threat of the Martial Alliance.

“Your name is Long Chen, right? I must admit, you’re strong! No First Earthly Martial Stage cultivator is your match!” There was a hint of panic in Old Vulture’s voice. Due to the Golden Crow Flames in Long Chen’s Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw, his arm was almost crippled at this point!

“It’s good that you know that! How dare you hurt my Fourth Brother?! Your life is mine today!” It was impossible to fend Long Chen off when he intended to kill.

Old Vulture was going mad as the threat of Long Chen killing him loomed. His son was still with Jian Chen! If he did not fight as hard as he could today, neither of them would survive today!

“Everyone, die! Lightning Vulture Talons! Nine Soul Chasing Bolts!” He was cornered, and Old Vulture finally used his most powerful technique. A total of nine lightning Talon Seals shot at Long Chen from all directions.

“Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw, Five Piercing Dragons!”

Five dragons exploded from Long Chen’s claws. Old Vulture was no match for his Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw, let alone the Five Piercing Dragons. The mighty Five Piercing Dragons flew at him menacingly.
