Chapter 713 – The Wind Clan Attacks

The gigantic seal slammed into Du Jiu’s body, making him scream in agony. His scream grew louder and more devastating as the frightening destructive force from the Burning Heaven Seal shattered his bones and internal organs. He died instantly!

At the same time, tall flames turned him into a burning corpse.

Surprisingly, Long Chen ended up unharmed from the battle, yet Du Jiu was thrown back into the air like a firebird. There was the smell of roasted meat in the air.

Long Chen flew past Du Jiu, and by the time he landed, he was holding Du Jiu’s Universe Pouch. The burning corpse crashed into the ground with a loud

thud

. Other than the burning flames, there was no movement.

Even upon death, he never thought that Long Chen would have such a terrifying combat technique. That was not the scariest part—it was the fact that Long Chen had mastered it!

It had completely overwhelmed Du Jiu’s advanced King-tier combat technique, meaning this technique was unquestionably an Emperor-tier technique. Very few people owned one, and Du Jiu never thought Long Chen was one of them.

All these surprises led to Du Jiu’s death.

Shao Yu was stunned by the result. He stared at Long Chen in a daze and his mouth agape. The young man made his mouth turn dry and he could not utter even a single word, as if he had a whole egg in his mouth.

After utilizing the Burning Heaven Seal, Long Chen had completely spent his essence. The Ancient Graveyard was a place of massacre, and such a huge commotion would likely attract people. That would be bad, so Long Chen said hurriedly, “Brother Yu, we cannot stay here for long. Let’s run first and talk later. Hurry!”

After Long Chen’s final instruction, Shao Yu woke up, gulped, and stuttered, “Al ... Alright. I’m coming ...”

His shock was like a bone lodged in his throat that he could not get out.

The other teammates had all been killed by the Metal Devouring Wind, so that was none of Long Chen’s business. As for Du Jiu, he deserved to die. Only Shao Yu remained. Long Chen had to make sufficient arrangements for him before embarking on his own journey.

After traveling a while, Long Chen placed Du Jiu’s Universe Pouch in Shao Yu’s hand and said, “Brother Yu, this is yours. The ax you wanted is inside. Take a look.”

Shao Yu hurriedly pushed it back to Long Chen and stuttered, “I ... I can’t accept this. This is your war spoil! How could I take it?”

Long Chen pulled out Shao Yu’s hand and put the pouch on his large palm, then said, “To be honest, this is useless to me. I took it for you. If you don’t accept it, it means you’re not giving me face.”

Long Chen was insistent, and Shao Yu thought about how Long Chen would look down on him if he was hesitant. Therefore, he took it decisively and said determinedly, “Thank you for your kindness, Brother! I will remember what you did today for the rest of my life!”

Long Chen nodded. He was not one to be draggy either. As they walked, he spoke honestly. “I had to fight today because I had no other choice. If I didn’t, Du Jiu would have killed you sooner or later. However, I’ve killed him now and your other teammates are dead too. And I have some personal matters to attend to ...”

“Brother, don’t worry about that. I’ve figured it out!” Shao Yu smiled and said, “Although I don’t have any goals for the moment, I will go to an Iron City. I will stay for a month there and should be able to make some good friends. After this incident, I’ve learned how to read people and distinguish those who are brothers and those who will stab me in the back! Don’t worry about me. I can find a city on my own. If you’re busy, you can go ahead and leave me!”

Shao Yu was a sensible person. He was already embarrassed that Long Chen had to save him. Long Chen was much stronger than he was, and they were from different worlds. Long Chen had many things he wanted to do, and he did not want to be a burden to him.

Long Chen’s worries disappeared after Shao Yu’s offer and said, “I do have some matters to attend to, but they’re not too urgent. It’s dangerous here. I’ll taker you to an Iron City first, then I’ll make a decision once you’re safe.”

“In that case, thank you, Brother Long Chen!” Shao Yu looked at the young man gratefully. He had a feeling that this young man would become one of the most outstanding people in this trip to the Ancient Graveyard.

Long Chen did not know anything about the Ancient Graveyard, yet he had so many trump cards. Who was he?

Shao Yu almost worshiped him.

Next, Long Chen and Shao Yu traveled in the direction of a city. Along the way, they encountered a lot of killing involving both demonic beasts and humans. Everyone killed crazily for the sake of merging Ancient Tokens.

During the previous journey, Du Jiu and his gang had merged with the other victims’ Ancient Tokens, but the gang’s Ancient Tokens were destroyed by the Metal Devouring Wind. However, Long Chen was not worried because subsequently, two separate squads attacked him they saw only two people. In the end, Long Chen killed them all. Half the Ancient Tokens went to Long Chen and the other to Shao Yu.

Merging the Ancient Tokens was a very simple task to Long Chen. In the beginning, his recorded level was too low. That was why seven Ancient Tokens was enough to turn half of his Ancient Token golden. It was almost the same for Shao Yu. As for the rest, Long Chen could not continue helping him. Everyone had to rely on themselves in order to survive in the Ancient Graveyard. They were lucky enough to meet each other, but he could only help Shao Yu up till this point.

After traveling for five or six days, the silhouette of a city finally appeared in front of them on the vast, dark-brown land. It was still very far away, but Long Chen could see that the city was made of pitch-black iron. It looked like a fearsome beast crouching on the horizon!

Long Chen could faintly make out a large, green flag planted at the very top of the city!

“We’ve finally reached a city! There’s a green flag at the top, meaning the city has been claimed by the Wind clan. I’m from the Heavenly Wind Empire myself, so I should be able to get better treatment in a city claimed by the Wind clan. Brother Long Chen, thank you for taking care of me. I can’t believe that trash like me managed to meet a kind person like you!”

Long Chen sighed in relief. He smiled and said, “Don’t dwell too much on it. Fate brought us together, and you taught me many things too.”

Since it was a city claimed by the Wind clan, Long Chen did not plan to go there. He had killed Feng Xuan and her mark was left on him. If it was discovered, it would be a complicated problem. There were countless masters in the Wind clan, and many were as strong as the young master of the Divine clan. Long Chen did not want to die like that.

Long Chen pursed his lips, then he smiled and said, “I’ll leave you here, then. You can go over on your own. Goodbye and we’ll see if fate brings us together again.”

It was impossible for Shao Yu not to feel grateful after Long Chen saved his life twice in a row. After a few days together, he knew Long Chen better too, and he was a little unwilling to separate. However, they were worlds apart, so their time together was short.

“If I get a chance, I will surely repay you well, Brother Long Chen! You saved my life!” said Shao Yu determinedly.

“Alright, you may go. Don’t drag this out,” said Long Chen with a grin.

Shao Yu nodded and bade Long Chen farewell. He turned to glance at Long Chen several times before heading towards the city far away.

However, that was when another twist happened. Long Chen suddenly noticed two fearsome auras behind him. He turned around quickly and saw two men in long, green robes rushing quickly towards the Iron City. Long Chen and Shao Yu were in their way, so they would surely pass him!

From their gazes, Long Chen saw that they had only taken a casual glance at Long Chen and Shao Yu and did not intend to attack. If other people had passed them like this, Long Chen would not have been worried. However, their clothing and auras, as well as their great speed, showed that they were influential members of the Wind clan.

Oh no!

Long Chen quickly dodged sideways and pretended to give way to them in an ordinary manner. If he overreacted, they could find something amiss.

Both men quickly dashed past him and were approaching Shao Yu. Shao Yu also sensed them and quickly turned around. When he saw that they were two Wind clan members, he was relieved.

Thank goodness ...

Long Chen sighed in relief. He was very fortunate that they did not notice him.

But the two men suddenly stopped between Long Chen and Shao Yu, about ten meters away from both of them. They then turned around and stared at Long Chen. Their confused gazes swept past him, then one of them said coldly, “You brat! You killed one of my clansmen! You’re looking for death!”

Then both of them charged at Long Chen!

Oh no! I was still found out!

Long Chen was exasperated at how bad his luck was. He had not expected Wind clan members to pass by here.

It looked like a battle was unavoidable unless he used Blood Warp.
