Chapter 361 - Beating Yang Jun
Chapter 361 - Beating Yang Jun
“It’s alright to be cowardly. There’s no need to hide it ...” Yang Jun chuckled and stretched out his arm. Everyone saw Yang Jun cover himself in Qi, making his massive body look like a powerful bomb waiting to explode.
Long Chen smiled.
“Dragon Soul Transformation.”
Long Chen’s body was quickly covered in red scales, and he turned into a crimson killing machine. He was supposed to look gnarly, but everyone thought he looked like a divine beast instead.
“Your transformed look is ugly. I can’t believe you would show it in public.” Yang Jun smiled and his face turned fierce. He hollered like a barbarian before he dug his feet into the ground and launched himself towards Long Chen like a missile.
The entire arena shook when Yang Jun did that. It was clear that he was very strong.
He must’ve cultivated an advanced Earth-tier Body Tempering technique! His body must be stronger than mine. I need to use my speed to deal with him!
Long Chen strategized.
His Qi was almost equal to Yang Jung after he attained the Sixth River Stage and transformed. The difference was in brute strength.
The Azure Dragon Halberd appeared in his hand once more. Even though it was not very effective anymore, it was Long Chen’s only weapon. He held it firmly and ran towards Yang Jun.
The sight of them running towards each other was visually shocking. One was young, while the other was more wizened. One rampaging, and one calm.
“Die! Seven Killings Demon Finger!” Yang Jun used the advanced Earth-tier technique the moment he got close to Long Chen. The strong wind and murderous Qi shot towards Long Chen!
Long Chen had seen the technique twice already, so knew what to do. He chose to fight it head-on as he had absolute confidence in himself.
“Azure Dragon Combat Technique, Dragon King’s Burial!”
The Azure Dragon Halberd transformed into a blood-red line and shot itself towards the Seven Killings Demon Finger. Yang Jun’s technique covered a wide area, while Long Chen’s technique was focused. Disregarding their cultivation levels, Dragon King Burial was a suitable technique to break through the Seven Killings Demon Finger.
“It's suicidal to use a lower tier technique to fight against a higher tier technique when one doesn’t have the Qi to supplement it. Long Chen didn’t learn Traceless Demon Shadow, and he even used his strongest technique. He must be scraping the bottom of the barrel now, hahaha!” The Third Demon Elder was cackling.
He was very happy to see his disciple beating the disciple of the Palace Lord.
But what happened next made his jaw drop.
Long Chen suddenly increased his strength, and the power behind Dragon King Burial pushed the Seven Killings Demon Finger back. The Azure Combat Halberd even pushed Yang Jun back!
Long Chen had used his strength at the Sixth River Stage and an intermediate Earth-tier technique to push back an advanced Earth-tier technique! Not only that, he had even pushed back Yang Jun! Yang Jun lost the first clash.
“Impossible!” Yang Jun shouted. His eyes were bloodshot, and he ran towards Long Chen with an even fiercer technique.
Looks like my tendency to go berserk and my craving for blood has lessened after I trained in silence in the Heavenly Demon Palace. Long Chen was happy, but Yang Jun had lost his rationality. He could not accept losing to Long Chen, so he panicked a little.
“Long Chen! I will skin you alive! Since you could neutralize the Seven Killings Demon Finger, I will show you this instead! Seventy-Two Path True Fists!”
It was a simple fist technique, but it contained the strength of a whirlwind, and each punch was stronger than the last. As long as Long Chen could endure all seventy-two punches, he would survive, but that is if his body was strong enough to withstand all of it!
“First path!”
Yang Jun’s stance was oppressive, to the point that the entire arena shook. The crowd was worried too.
A massive demonic shadow appeared behind Yang Jun. It was channeling strength into him. With it, he had enough strength to use all seventy-two fists!
“Long Chen is dead this time.” The Third Demon Elder was stunned at what Long Chen had done to the Seven Killings Demon Finger, but he was sure Long Chen would not survive this time.
“Seventy-Two Path True Fists?” Long Chen wasn’t worried.
It’s time to use Traceless Demon Shadow. Long Chen chose not to move for now. He waited until Yang Jun was closer.
“What’s happening?” Everyone was confused. Even if Long Chen couldn’t fight back, there was no reason to just stand there and wait to die.
“Father-in-law?” Dongfang Xuanxiao was worried. He was about to stand up when Zhao Qingyun sat him back down. The Palace Master was grinning.
Did he? Zhao Qingyun was not worried, and Dongfang Xuanxiao was not an idiot. He had a feeling that Long Chen was going to surprise everyone.
While everyone was looking at Long Chen in confusion, Yang Jun’s first fist closed in on him. If it hit, Long Chen would lose half of his strength, but he didn’t move at all. Everyone closed their eyes because they couldn’t bear to see the bloody scene.
“Are you really looking to die?” Yang Jun was confused, but he would not let go of this chance. There was no repercussions for killing Long Chen, which made him even more excited. He increased the speed of his punch even more.
At the last moment, Long Chen smiled.
The first punch of the Seventy-Two Path True Fists missed. Yang Jun looked at the empty space in front of him and raised his head. He saw several black illusions flickering in front of him!
“Traceless Demon Shadow!” The crowd exploded with shock. The Third Demon Elder and the other elders looked at the Long Chen in shock. They stared at him and stood up subconsciously.
Yang Jun looked at the flickering shadows in front of him and couldn’t differentiate which was Long Chen.
Even though no one could believe it, the First Demon Elder spat out in shock, “This is the level of someone who is close to completing the technique! Long Chen has not only learned Traceless Demon Shadow, his mastery over it is even higher than Danfeng and Xiaoyu!”
Yang Danfeng and Murong Yu were shocked when they heard what the First Demon Elder said. They looked at Long Chen, but their expressions were different. Murong Yu was surprised as she never thought Long Chen would progress so fast with just a simple tip from her.
Yang Danfeng, on the other hand, was looking at Long Chen viciously. He had always been regarded as the strongest youth in the Heavenly Demon Palace, and now he felt uncomfortable that the First Demon Elder would say that Long Chen was above him. How could he like someone that Yang Jun hated? Jealousy gripped his heart when he looked at Long Chen.
The whole crowd was shocked, much less Yang Jun, who was fighting Long Chen. Traceless Demon Shadow was an infamous technique of the Heavenly Demon Palace, so he recognized it instantly.
Impossible! He must’ve only cultivated it halfway. I should be able to tell where he is if I’m careful enough. I can’t get intimidated by him! Yang Jun reassured himself and knew he had to stop his technique and escape from Long Chen’s encirclement first.
But Long Chen would not let him out.
When Yang Jun’s first punch missed, Long Chen had used the Traceless Demon Shadow and appeared behind him. He then swung the Azure Dragon Halberd directly towards Yang Jun’s back.
Smack!
Yang Jun almost fell to the ground, and a red line of blood appeared on his back.
“Shit! Why are you so tough?” Long Chen blurted out subconsciously. He had used all his strength to lash out with his halberd but only managed to leave a scratch!
But to Yang Jun, this was a humiliating result. He turned around and was about to attack Long Chen when the halberd smashed into his face.
Smack!
Yang Jun shouted and spat out blood. Some of his teeth were even knocked out from the impact!
Yang Jun despaired. He realized he couldn't see Long Chen at all. He looked around him and saw nothing but shadows everywhere. Which one was he supposed to attack?
Smack!
Yang Jun was launched forward as his butt got smacked by the halberd.
