Chapter 830 – Revival From Death

When the Long-Bearded Guest announced the result, everyone knew that it was official. It had been an exciting duel. In the beginning, Wu Guangyu had an advantage over Long Chen, but then Long Chen used his triple Emperor Seal combination to retaliate, and when everyone thought he would turn the tides, Wu Guangyu used the advanced Emperor-tier Azure Lotus Manual to kill Long Chen instantly!

Wu Guangyu was still the strongest.

He had not reached the Heavenly Martial Realm yet, but had already comprehended the first stage of the Sword Path and could use an advanced Emperor-tier technique. No one else was comparable in terms of talent. Even many prodigies from the Royal Territories could not compare.

He had cemented himself as the number one prodigy of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory.

“Xue’er ...” Bai Lan felt like something was stuck in his throat, and he could not say a word. He could only silently help his daughter up.

“Is Long Chen dead?” Suxue suddenly felt like her world had crumbled. The healthy and energetic young man had turned into an ice-cold corpse.

It felt worse than Long Chen leaving her side ...

“Father ...” When she looked at her father’s moistened eyes, she could not hold back her tears. It was at this moment that she finally realized how much she cared about the young man. Unfortunately, it was too late. He was gone.

“Let’s go!” The champion had been decided. The Divine clan would receive the Yellow Emperor Key. Although the Five Elements Alliance hadn't gained anything, they had not lost as badly as the Demon clan. Indeed, the tides could turn at any time. They were just admiring how the Demon clan had two people in the top four.

The Divine Wind Faction were basically laughing out loud now. Wu Guangyu was still severely injured and had to hold himself upright with great difficulty. Wu Lian did not give any instructions, but people were already preparing to go help him up. The battle was over, and it was time to treat his injuries. Although Long Chen was dead, it was an extraordinary feat to injure Wu Guangyu to this extent.

The Divine clan would forever remember this person.

This included Feng Zhilin, who was staring woodenly at Long Chen’s corpse. She suddenly thought there was something wrong ...

He’s dead, so his body should be on the ground. But he’s been standing there for a long time ...

Then they heard loud laughter, causing everyone to get goosebumps. Everyone looked up in shock in Long Chen’s direction. They sensed that the laughter had come from him, and it was indeed Long Chen’s voice.

Suxue, Bai Lan, and the others were stunned too, and they stared at Long Chen’s standing body. Everyone saw the dead Long Chen suddenly move a little bit, then he turned around completely to face the crowd. Long Chen grinned mischievously and said, “Has everyone gone blind? I’m standing right here! How could you say that I’m dead?”

Long Chen’s face had color, and he did not look injured at all. He looked a hundred times better than Wu Guangyu in his pathetic state, as if he had not started the duel yet. He should've been dead. Everyone had watched the Azure Lotus Sword slash his throat—it had cut right through. How had Long Chen survived that?

Everyone had very colorful expressions.

The members of the Thunder and Demon clans felt like they were reborn. Suxue and the others felt like they were in a dream and stuttered when they tried to speak. They could not believe it at all. They looked at each other, and from the other person’s eyes, they saw that this was not a dream. Long Chen was not dead.

“How Is that possible? I clearly saw Wu Guangyu’s sword cut his throat. How could his neck not be injured at all?” Feng Zhilin was greatly shaken and fell two steps back with shock in her eyes. The other people in the Divine Wind Faction shouted too. Even the terrifying and calm Wu Lian’s eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

The one who was filled with the most shock was naturally Wu Guangyu.

He was the one who had attacked Long Chen, and his Azure Lotus Sword had definitely cut Long Chen’s throat. He had killed many people before, and he knew the feeling of a sword slashing through flesh. Long Chen had the Seven Star Body, so he had to use a lot of strength to cut his skin.

He was standing while using the sword as support, so he turned around with great difficulty, only to see Long Chen’s chilling smile.

“I haven’t died yet, so whatever the Long-Bearded Guest announced just now was nonsense. Therefore ...” Long Chen turned into a gust of wind and charged at Wu Guangyu!

This was the perfect chance to go for the kill!

The reason why Long Chen was alive was simple. He had used the Primordial Dragon Talisman’s Rewind technique. Rewind was the most shocking divine technique he possessed; it could reverse his body’s condition. Within less than a breath after Wu Guangyu’s sword slit his throat, Long Chen returned his body to its condition from ten breaths ago.

After returning his body to ten breaths ago, he was unscathed. On the other hand, Wu Guangyu had collapsed and could barely stand.

He had used up all his essence and even risked getting injured to launch a fatal strike. But Long Chen had used his only Rewind for the day to deal with his attack.

Wu Guangyu’s pupils dilated when Long Chen started charging!

He had dealt a killing blow to Long Chen, so now, Long Chen dared to do the same. There was nothing else he could say. Plus, they had all agreed that killing was permissible in the Nine Clans Martial Youth Competition. Since Wu Guangyu was so vicious a moment ago, Long Chen was equally vicious now!

Yield?

To Wu Guangyu, this word was foreign. That was why he did not choose to admit defeat now, but rather, he used all his strength to stumble backwards, with the Azure Lotus Sword still in hand!

“Yield.” At that moment, Wu Lian’s voice rang in Wu Guangyu’s ears. He heard the determination in her tone.

No matter how humiliating it was, Wu Guangyu had no choice but to yield, now that she had instructed him to.

Long Chen arrived right before his eyes instantly.

“I yield!” Wu Guangyu stumbled backwards, tripping over himself as he bled. This was a humiliating moment for him. Although he had yielded, he glared at Long Chen with seething hatred!

Long Chen was merely five meters away from him at this point.

“That’s too bad ...” Long Chen knew this would happen. Even though Wu Guangyu was stubborn and did not want to yield, the Divine Wind Faction would make him do it. Long Chen probably could have killed him instantly, but Wu Guangyu had yielded before the final blow landed!

The time to kill Wu Guangyu had not arrived yet.

But he could take Xiaolang back now. Under such circumstances, it was logical for Long Chen to take Xiaolang back to his side. Although they also saw Xiaolang as their pet beast, according to the rules of society, Long Chen was now stronger than Wu Guangyu, so he naturally could take back what belonged to him.

“Stop!” At that moment, the Long-Bearded Guest finally was able to do his job and appeared between Long Chen and Wu Guangyu to separate them. His main task was to protect Wu Guangyu and prevent Long Chen from taking advantage of the chaos to kill Wu Guangyu. He fully expected Long Chen to do this.

However, to his surprise, Long Chen did not attack. The moment Wu Guangyu said he yielded, Long Chen stopped moving.

If Wu Guangyu had not yielded, then it was within the rules for him to kill Wu Guangyu. If he still pressed on after Wu Guangyu yielded, then it was a declaration of war against the Divine Wind Faction!

He was no idiot. His opponent had been defeated, so he was not in a hurry to kill him now. Looking at Wu Guangyu’s current condition, with his internal organs injured from the impact, he probably needed some time to heal.

If the Black Emperor Key appears soon ...

Another plan formed in Long Chen’s heart.

“Big Brother, what now?” Previously, everyone thought that Long Chen was dead, but Xiaolang was the only one who knew about the insane divine technique called Rewind. That was why he did not panic.

When he saw that Long Chen had won, he quickly spoke to him using the language of beasts.

“I have a plan. Let Wu Guangyu live a few more days. Stay with him for now. I’ll let you know later,” said Long Chen.

“Alright.” After Xiaolang replied, he did not say anything else.

He had asked Long Chen several times when he could leave, which showed that he did not want to stay with Wu Guangyu any longer. Xiaolang was furious at how Wu Guangyu had forcefully taken him away.

Long Chen was also furious about that.

“What, why aren’t you announcing the result? The remaining slot for the Yellow Emperor Key belongs to the Demon clan,” said Long Chen mildly after a glance at the Long-Bearded Guest.

The Long-Bearded Guest studied the shocking teenager for a while, then his gaze swept across the crowd. He said, “Everyone has seen the final result. Wu Guangyu has admitted defeat, so the champion of the Nine Clans Martial Youth Competition is not Wu Guangyu of the Divine clan, but Long Chen of the Demon clan. I was mistaken; apologies, everyone!”

Even the Long-Bearded Guest was serious at a moment like this.

Everyone was just too shocked by the ending.

The Martial Youth Competition had come to an end.

Everyone felt like they were in a dream.

“Long Chen, come here ...” Bai Lan had already rubbed the tears away from his eyes, and he waved at Long Chen. Next to him, Suxue, who had been fully crying, was also trying her best to rub her tears away.

Long Chen walked up to them. The Thunder and Demon clansmen looked at Long Chen’s neck for a long time as they made surprised noises. This was just too strange.
