Chapter 770 - Killing Chen Yang

Chen Yang had a much deeper understanding of the blade than his son; he also had more essence than Chen Xu. It wasn’t easy for Long Chen to fight against him even though the Dragon Soul Transformation had boosted his essence to the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage. Long Chen fought cautiously.

The two of them used their techniques consecutively. Long Chen kept using the Big Dipper Step to avoid Chen Yang’s attack. Chen Yang noticed that Long Chen was buying time! He was here to assassinate Long Chen, so the more he delayed it, the more perilous his situation would be. He wouldn’t be able to steal the inheritance of the Seven Star Lord if people gathered around them.

I need to use my ultimate technique, or I won’t be able to kill him!

Chen Yang thought to himself as he took glances at the fight between Suxue and the man in black. The man in black had already noticed that Long Chen was still alive and was aware that the plan had failed, so he was looking for a chance to escape.

I need to do this quickly, or I’m dead for certain!

Chen Yang stopped hesitating and swung his blade towards Long Chen.

“Nine Consecutive Killings!” This was an advanced King-tier martial technique for a blade. Chen Yang hadn’t taught it to his son because it was too powerful. Nine rays of black blade Qi shot upwards and slammed towards Long Chen. They flew in nine different directions to encircle him!

“There’s no chance you can escape from this attack!” Chen Yang laughed and channeled his essence into the technique to kill Long Chen as quickly as possible. Situ Yao was already trying to escape. If he was successful, Suxue would come to help Long Chen and Chen Yang would end up dead.

Chen Yang needed to end this quickly!

“Die!” Chen Yang howled with fury.

Long Chen was not intimidated by the rays of blade Qi surrounding him. They tore through the trees and grind them to dust, but Long Chen closed his eyes and used the Big Dipper Step. This time, however, his speed on the starplate had exceeded his previous record. The starplate even flew upwards and spun rapidly. Long Chen disappeared!

Bam, bam, bam.

The rays of Qi crashed into each other in the air and canceled each other out, but Long Chen was still unharmed since the attack had missed.

Chen Yang was dumbfounded when he saw the attack he had poured all his hope into being avoided with such ease.

While he was caught in a daze, the man in black escaped Suxue’s encirclement and ran into the darkness. He soon disappeared under the cover of night.

“Damn! Who is that guy?” Suxue could not uncover the identity of the man because her opponent was too sly. Her opponent had made plans to escape the moment he noticed that he was going up against Suxue and Long Chen ran away. Even though he and Suxue were almost equally strong, the man fought in a passive way that allowed him to escape the moment Suxue lost her focus.

The man in black was very experienced in battle. Even though Suxue was confident that she was stronger, she had failed to kill him. She watched him escape but didn’t chase after him since she still needed to protect Long Chen.

The identity of the man in black remained a mystery.

Long Chen had an idea of who it could be, but he didn’t want to make assumptions. As for Chen Yang, since he was from the Demon clan, Long Chen wasn’t sure if he would be able to kill him if others arrived. This was when Long Chen decided to use his ultimate moves.

It was a close call for Long Chen to avoid the Nine Consecutive Killings using the Big Dipper Step just now.

“Long Chen, be careful!” Suxue shouted, but then she saw Long Chen avoid that fearsome attack completely!

At the same time, she was shocked to see Long Chen charging towards his opponent. A golden light lit up in Long Chen’s palm and turned into a massive, golden seal.

“Golden Emperor Veiled Heaven Seal!” A massive seal covered the skies and crashed down towards Chen Yang. His attack was almost as strong as Chen Yang’s!

Boom, boom, boom!

Chen Yang used Nine Consecutive Killings again out of instinct. The rays of Qi crashed into the seal, setting off a large explosion that rocked the entire city. To think their techniques were almost equally strong! Long Chen’s technique was stronger since it was at the Emperor-tier, but Chen Yang had more essence to cover the gap!

“Long Chen, I will deal with him.” Suxue was shocked by Long Chen’s strength. She assumed that he had no issue dealing with someone at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage. However, she was worried about his safety, so she had told him to stop.

Chen Yang was alarmed by those words because he knew he had lost his chance to kill Long Chen. He would be digging his own grave soon if he continued to dally, considering Situ Yao had run away too.

While he was running, Chen Yang was astonished to find Long Chen chasing him.

Long Chen ignored Suxue and chased after Chen Yang. The latter felt chills running down his spine when he saw Long Chen’s blood-red eyes in the darkness.

I can’t let him catch me, or Suxue will catch up!

Chen Yang made the same choice as his son had done during the most critical moment and threw his blade towards Long Chen.

“Die!” Chen Yang was confident that he would at least injure, if not outright kill, Long Chen if the blade exploded so close to him!

But what he didn’t notice was that Long Chen had expected this. The two Emperor Seals, the Scarlet Emperor Seal and the Golden Emperor Seal, in his palm lit up at the same time. Within his right palm’s Martial Meridian, the two energies reached an equilibrium as they channeled their power.

“Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal! Golden Emperor Veiled Heaven Seal!”

The two seals formed rapidly in Long Chen’s palm. Suxue was shocked by the power behind the seal. She was quite close to Long Chen, so she felt the energy coming from the two seals very clearly. Long Chen combined the two seals and amplified their destructive power. To think that Long Chen, a cultivator at the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage, could wield so much power!

Suxue had been worrying about the blade thrown towards Long Chen, but she stopped when she saw the two combined Emperor Seals in his palm. She was curious to see if it had enough power to kill Chen Yang!

The blade exploded in the air and let out a massive shockwave, directing its energy and countless pieces of shrapnel towards Long Chen. Chen Yang started laughing when he heard the explosion because he saw that Long Chen hadn’t evaded it. He was certain that the explosion would kill Long Chen!

But he didn’t know that the tragedy his son had faced would befall him tonight.

Long Chen was calm as he gently sent the combined Emperor Seals forward. The fused energy from the two seals howled towards Chen Yang, but it was ten times stronger today compared to yesterday! The massive trees were reduced to dust as the seals plowed through them. The dust flew up into the night sky and floated aimlessly.

All Chen Yang saw was an entire ocean surging towards him. The horrific energies of metal and fire combined together to form an incredibly fast and destructive technique that Chen Yang could never imagine. He knew that the technique would kill him outright.

He now realized how his son had died in Long Chen’s hands.

Impossible! He’s only at the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage! How could he wield such explosive power? I refuse to believe it!

Chen Yang was still in denial as his eyes were drowned in the fires of spite, but there was nothing he could do. The combined Emperor Seal caught up to him and turned his body into ashes little by little.

No! I cannot let Long Chen live!

That was Chen Yang’s only thought while he was on the threshold of death.

Long Chen was strong, mysterious, and even had the inheritance of the Seven Star Lord. It was as if he had been chosen by the heavens. Chen Yang swore that he would bring him down!

At his final moments, Chen Yang mustered the last of his strength to shout one last time, “Long Chen has the inheritance of the Seven Star Lord! Long Chen, Seven Star Lord! It’s the truth!”

The voice of someone at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage could be monstrously loud. He had emphasized Long Chen’s name and the name of the Seven Star Lord so loudly that the entire area rumbled. It was highly likely that almost everyone in the city had heard what he had shouted.

Chen Yang was consumed by Long Chen’s technique after he shouted his final words. Even though he wasn’t sure how much trouble he would cause for Long Chen, he was satisfied that he could bite Long Chen at the final moment.

Long Chen was shocked when he heard Chen Yang’s final shout.

He never thought that Chen Yang would do something like this just before his life ended. Everyone in Heavenly Wood City, including the Demon clan, the Thunder clan, and even the regular cultivators, would know his secret now. Soon, they would spread the news throughout the entire Ancient Graveyard.

The inheritance of the Seven Star Lord was something that everyone coveted. Long Chen was doomed to encounter a lot of trouble in the future. It was now up to Bai Lan to come up with a plan to protect him.
