Chapter 890 – Tyrannosaurus Punch

The Emperor Vanquishers were Divine-tier weapons, and Long Chen could only communicate with them on a surface level through his Yin Yang Sword Soul. Therefore, he could only control a portion of the energy in the Emperor Vanquishers.

The power of this weapon did not belong to any element. It was only after the transformation process by his Yin Yang Sword Soul that they became hot and cold.

“Are those punching gloves? They’re of a high level too ...”

Qian Canglong’s eyes shone with greed when he saw the gloves.

Although he was not a Sword Warrior, he would be able to utilize a portion of their strength. Just based on their exterior, he knew that they were no simple gloves. However, he never would have thought that the gloves were Divine-tier.

Even in Scarlet Water City, Divine-tier weapons were very rare. His father, the mayor, did not have a Divine-tier weapon either.

However, it was not known if Zhao Kongming had one. It was easier for Underworld Soldiers to obtain Divine-tier items.

Qian Canglong’s attention turned from Liu Qing’er’s death to Long Chen’s gloves.

His domain suppressed Long Chen greatly!

“Tyrannosaurus Punch!”

The advanced Emperor-tier combat technique was his best technique. He used it once again, along with his Sixth Heavenly Martial Stage domain. An earth-shaking Tyrannosaurus image shot towards Long Chen!

“Little Cat, it’s your turn.”

Long Chen clenched his fists. Although it was very hard for him to move in the domain, his lips were still curled into a small smile.

“Let me say this first! I want half of his Emperor Crystals—no, wait, three-quarters!” said Little Cat hurriedly. A fuzzy head popped out of Long Chen’s chest. The Dream Demon’s eyes shone with a strange light. After Little Cat’s modifications, the Dream Demon’s hallucinatory magic had reached a mature stage.

Whoosh ...

Confusing Qian Canglong’s Martial Soul and making him think that Long Chen had quickly fled in another direction was an easy task for Little Cat!

How is that possible?! He managed to run away despite being trapped by my domain!

Qian Canglong gasped. At this critical moment, he quickly changed the direction of his Tyrannosaurus Punch towards the Long Chen illusion that Little Cat had created!

Boom!

The Tyrannosaurus Punch brushed past Long Chen!

“That’s not right!”

Qian Canglong suddenly realized that Long Chen had not changed his location in the domain. He was still in the same spot—Qian Canglong had made a mistake.

“What satanic technique was that?!” cursed Qian Canglong. His Tyrannosaurus Punch had hit something else, and it did not hurt Long Chen. He backed away in panic!

This was a rare chance for Long Chen, so how could he let him go?

Just as the Tyrannosaurus Punch shot off in the wrong direction, Long Chen turned into a ray of blood-red light within Qian Canglong’s domain and shot toward him!

“You think you can engage in melee-” Qian Canglong couldn’t finish his sentence, because Long Chen threw a lightning-fast punch at him. The golden punch contained so much heat that it was like a volcano was flying at him!

Qian Canglong quickly held up both hands to block.

Slam!

The fierce flames left black burn marks on his arms, and the immense force made Qian Canglong cry out in pain as he stumbled backward. Long Chen followed him closely like his own shadow and landed a punch on his arm once more. He had started with a right jab, so he followed it up with his left hand. The chilling, corrosive Qi collided with the wound on Qian Canglong’s arm.

“How could this be?!” Qian Canglong was completely stunned. He shook his head and checked, but the person before him was still Long Chen.

But it was too late.

Long Chen’s punch had broken through his defenses and landed on his head. There was a crack, and his skull shattered. Under the immense force of the Emperor Vanquishers, blood flowed out of his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

“Die!”

Long Chen reached out with his left hand like a flying dragon and grabbed Qian Canglong’s neck. With a crack, his neck was bent at an extreme angle.

“Long Chen ...”

Qian Canglong’s eyes widened as he glared at Long Chen, then he died.

“Damn it, I’m exhausted! I spent all my energy casting my spell twice on this guy. Don’t take risks like that again. You’re not strong enough to beat a Sixth Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator yet,” said Little Cat, who was now lying in the Primordial Realm. Although he was tired, he still spoke smugly.

Indeed, without Little Cat, Long Chen would be in danger.

After killing these people, it was best to flee the scene quickly. Long Chen found both their storage rings and took all the items they carried. Then he burned their bodies and left.

He tidied up the scene so that it looked like nothing had happened.

He had snuck out of the city, so no one had spotted him. Similarly, he snuck back in. No one noticed.

In public, I am only a Second Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator. If those two disappear for a few days, people will merely assume that they’ve gone out to have fun. Who would suspect me? This is an airtight plan.

After returning to the inn, Long Chen inspected his war spoils excitedly.

“I can’t believe this brat carried his clan’s specialty technique, the Tyrannosaurus Punch, around with him. I guess he hadn’t mastered it completely yet and was still studying it.”

Out of all the things he had taken, the advanced Emperor-tier Tyrannosaurus Punch was the most attention-grabbing. That was Scarlet Water City’s mayor’s specialty technique, yet it was with Long Chen.

Long Chen already had two advanced Emperor-tier combat techniques, but the Tyrannosaurus Punch was more suited to be used with the Emperor Vanquishers than the Five Seals Combination.

If he had time, it would be good to practice the Tyrannosaurus Punch.

After he put it away, Long Chen counted the Emperor Crystals. After arriving in the Three Royal Territories, he realized that currencies like the Emperor Crystals were important. Not only did he need the power contained in them to advance his cultivation, he also needed them to purchase items. At the same time, Little Cat needed them to sustain his power.

He did not know what the Dream Demon had become after Little Cat had modified it.

After counting, he discovered that he had more than six thousand Emperor Crystals.

Qian Canglong had more than two thousand Emperor Crystals. That’s a normal amount. As for Liu Qing’er, although her cultivation level was not as high, she had more than four thousand. Indeed, the people of the Scarlet Water Association are rich.

He put the Emperor Crystals in the Primordial Realm, and Little Cat pounced on them as if they were precious treasures. Long Chen still wanted to use them as money to buy the Heavenly Fortune Pill, so he only took some out for Little Cat to attempt to absorb essence from them. The brat was still a young Dream Demon, so the number of Emperor Crystals he needed was still within an acceptable range to Long Chen.

The other belongings were not important to Long Chen. He had the Five Emperors’ treasure, so they had no value to him.

There are still ten days left. These six thousand Emperor Crystals should be enough for me to bid for the Heavenly Fortune Pill at the auction. I’ll be able to see Zhao Kongming’s true character then. Will he beat me in the auction using Emperor Crystals, or will he suppress his desire for it? After that, will he murder me in secret after I get the pill, or choose to give up on it?

Long Chen was unfamiliar with this person, so he could not make any assumptions.

If they discover that Qian Canglong and Liu Qing’er are dead, there will be a huge commotion in this city. I initially came with Wan’er and the others, so when Wan’er leaves tomorrow, I’ll leave with her. I’ll return to Scarlet Water City during the auction, although I’ll need to hide my identity then.

The stronger Long Chen became, the better he could hide his true strength.

When he first arrived at the Divine Martial Empire, he had used the dragon’s divine techniques several times. That allowed the Scarlet Emperor’s Divine Martial Soul to discover that he was a legendary Dragon Warrior. Here, he needed to use them carefully, as it was not wise to reveal his Dragon Warrior identity to Divine Martial Realm experts.

Dragon Warriors held great significance, so a weakling like Long Chen would surely be dissected and studied.

After making his decision, Long Chen skimmed through the manual for the Tyrannosaurus Punch and memorized the profound concepts of the technique. Thanks to the experience he had accumulated by studying other advanced Emperor-tier techniques, the Tyrannosaurus Punch was not too difficult to him.

It would be dawn soon. There was too much killing in the wilderness at night, so Xiong Wan’er did not dare travel in the dark. Even during the day, due to the previous incident and the fact that Long Chen and Xiong Jun were not with her, they were still afraid.

When they gathered outside, Long Chen arrived with his hands behind his back. They all thought he had come to bid them farewell, but to their surprise, he said, “The journey isn’t safe. Let me escort you.”

“Really?” Xiong Wan’er was overjoyed. She had thought about asking but was too embarrassed to, as she did not want to trouble Long Chen.

“Mhm. Let’s go,” Long Chen said with a smile.

The youths of the Barbaric Bear Tribe were ecstatic. Xiong Jun descended the steps noisily, then looked at Long Chen and asked, “Brother Long Chen, are you going to escort my sister back?”

“Yes. What’s your plan?” Long Chen asked.

“My master is leaving in ten days. I’m going to follow him to Scarlet Sun Medium City. That’s a city a hundred times larger than Scarlet Water City. In the future, I must work hard and do my best to join the Underworld Soldiers, and make the Barbaric Bear Tribe proud,” Xiong Jun said emotionally.
