Dragon War God

Chapter 40 - Boiling Rage

“Yang Xueqing, I’m coming for you!”

Bai Zhanfeng’s roar startled Yang Xueqing out of her daze. Although she was fighting Bai Zhanfeng, her heart was with Long Chen.

Long Chen had shocked her greatly today. She had completely lost all hope in the Bai family due to their betrayal while the iciness she had felt towards Long Chen slowly melted.

By now, the teenager had taken up an important place in her heart.

When Bai Zhanxiong used his most powerful attack, the Nine Yellow Rivers, on Long Chen, Yang Xueqing paled!

Even Yang Xueqing herself might not be able to withstand this attack, much less Long Chen, who was only at the Sixth Draconic Stage!

Yang Xueqing’s panic rose but Bai Zhanfeng pestered her like a fly and she couldn’t swat him away. He kept blocking her and because of her focus on Long Chen, he almost hit her several times!

The Bai family members were at the Eighth Draconic Stage and not weak at all. Bai Zhanfeng was as strong as Bai Zhanxiong. If Yang Xueqing didn’t give her all in the fight against him, she would likely get hurt or even die.

The Yang patriarch’s eyes filled with worry when he saw that Bai Zhanxiong was shameless enough to use the Nine Yellow Rivers against Long Chen. The Bai patriarch blocked him and laughed, “Yang Cangqiong, how unlucky you are! You have an impressive prodigy among your progeny but yet you fell victim to your own kin’s betrayal. He was delivered right to my doorstep! At least he’s lucky enough to die to an Eighth Draconic Stage warrior like my son!”

“Oh, shut up!”

The Yang patriarch raged and fought the Bai patriarch but he could not save Long Chen facing an opponent that was his equal match.

Yang Qingxuan was also occupied by Bai Zhanlong!

But Long Chen’s Primordial Dragon Seal was already formed. Everyone approved when they saw this stable and powerful attack. It was usually impossible to wield a complete Primordial Dragon Seal at his age and cultivation.

The image of nine dragons triggered a powerful wind that roared as it collided with Bai Zhanxiong’s Nine Yellow Rivers. Bai Zhanxiong’s attack was many times stronger than Bai Shichen’s. Previously, the Primordial Dragon Seal had easily neutralized the Nine Yellow Rivers but this time, the reverse happened!

Bai Zhanxiong’s Qi was ten times stronger than Long Chen. Although they were fighting with combat techniques, these were all built on a foundation of Qi. Since his Qi was much weaker, Long Chen was blasted backwards even though he was good at the Primordial Dragon Seal!

The wave of power destroyed Long Chen’s Primordial Dragon Seal and its aftershocks crashed directly into his body. Long Chen felt as if he had been struck by lightning or hit by a mountain. Blood splattered out of his mouth and he fell like a broken kite! “Chen’er!”

A few people cried in shock. The Yang patriarch’s and Yang Xueqing’s faces turned green and they attacked their opponents furiously, their fights more violent than the one between Long Chen and Bai Zhanxiong!

Yang Qingxuan wanted to save Long Chen but Bai Zhanlong blocked him. Two more Eighth Draconic Stage masters started fighting in the hall!

The others could only look at each other, speechless, as they watched the two ruling families of Baiyang Town fight. The most powerful family among the lesser factions only had one person in the Eighth Draconic Stage. How could they participate in a fight between masters like this?

“Chen’er!”

Long Chen regained some of his awareness when he heard the startled cry. He could tell that it was Yang Xueqing’s voice. He’d never heard Yang Xueqing speak to him with so much concern in his life. It was such an endearing nickname too. He felt like his skeleton had broken apart and with his internal injuries–although they were not as serious as Bai Shiji’s–it was very difficult to get back up on his feet.

But when he heard her call his name, Long Chen felt an infinite surge of energy exploding through him. He roared in a deep voice and started to crawl up on his feet!

It was difficult and made his wounds worse, but even though he twitched in pain, he was filled with determination. There were so many people watching and this was the first time she’d ever showed him concern. He had to stand up like a man!

Under the shocked stares of the crowd, he finally stood. His legs were shaky, his vision blurry but he still could see the worried and heartbroken woman looking at him. Despite experiencing many close calls from Bai Zhanfeng’s attacks, her eyes were still on him.

When he saw this, Long Chen’s heart filled with pride. He knew that he had earned her approval with his efforts. He had regained his dignity, and his father’s too!

In the past, Yang Xueqing always approved of Bai Zhanxiong’s and his sons’ excellence while disapproving of Long Chen’s and Long Qinglan’s dismal states. After seeing Yang Xueqing’s pained gaze, he knew he had won.

Now, Bai Zhanxiong and his sons were trash in her heart while Long Chen was an extraordinary prodigy! “Father, why do I feel so good now? Was all of this to prove her wrong ...”

As Long Chen watched the woman doing her best to break free from her opponent to save him, he realized he was tearing up. Ling Xi’s panicked voice said, “You idiot, you’re hurt! You still don’t want me to help?”

Ling Xi could indeed save him from a powerful cultivator like Bai Zhanxiong, but she would probably die afterward.

Long Chen would never let such a thing happen and scolded sternly, “Ling Xi, don’t you dare poke your nose where it doesn’t belong! I’ll hate you forever!”

Long Chen’s words were vicious and even hurt her feelings but Long Chen felt like it was for her own good.

Ling Xi wanted to help out of her own generosity but Long Chen’s mean words made her so frustrated, she wanted to cry. She had called him a bastard a thousand times in her heart by this point.

Bai Zhanxiong was already standing in front of Long Chen. He looked at Yang Xueqing, who was fighting the hardest she could, then at Long Chen and smirked. “The mother-and-son bond you two have is very touching. But I wonder what expression she’ll make when she watches you die by my hand?”

Long Chen knew that his time had come.

He could still fight Bai Shichen but Bai Zhanxiong was more than twenty years older. He could not make up for such a big gap.

However, Long Chen was already satisfied seeing Yang Xueqing fighting so hard for him.

Meanwhile, Yang Yuntian was filled with guilt. The rest of the Yangs looked at Long Chen with concern and respect. He had grown from a hated spoiled brat to a hero. They considered him to have lived a successful life.

Long Chen’s greatest regret was Long Qinglan. He hadn’t had the chance to unravel the mystery shrouding Long Qinglan and the dragon jade.

He thought of Ling Xi and only hoped that after he died, she could find another person who would be willing to search for soul-nourishing herbs for her.

Long Chen glared coldly at Bai Zhanxiong but he didn’t act like a dying person. Still stubborn, he said, “You defeating me is nothing to be proud of. I have already won today. I defeated your son; I defeated you. I know you lost to my father and today, you lost to me. What’s there to be proud of?”

When he mentioned Long Qinglan, Bai Zhanxiong’s eyes filled with malice and he smirked. “Are you saying I lost to that trash? Looks like you still don't know how that trash of a man died ...”

Long Chen’s pupils constricted when he heard Bai Zhanxiong’s words. Although his consciousness was growing hazy, his gaze turned to sharp daggers immediately that pointed at Bai Zhanxiong.

Bai Zhanxiong laughed like a madman and sneered in a low voice, “I heard that scum liked to drink his life away and got someone to put a little something into his liquor. Finally, I could marry his wife.”

Long Chen’s world turned upside down!

Long Chen had never thought that this was possible. Long Qinglan had been taciturn when he died and never mentioned the cause of his death. Long Chen had naturally forgotten about this–all he knew was that his father was a mysterious man who had died a strange death!

Long Qinglan’s face was dark when he died because he had been poisoned. Long Chen was an idiot for missing this clue!

It was a shocking revelation that Bai Zhanxiong was the culprit behind Long Qinglan’s death. So that was why Bai Zhanxiong had appeared in the Yang family and started to plan the wedding after Long Qinglan’s death!

Long Chen’s eyes were fixed on Bai Zhanxiong’s smug face. Blood started to rush into Long Chen’s eyes. The blood red grew more intense until his pupils were completely blood red!

A cold and bloody aura radiated from Long Chen. “Is it true? You were the cause of my father’s early death?”

The discovery made all the blood in Long Chen’s body boil. He felt like his heart was twitching with effort. Due to his fury, the blood-red dragon images that had disappeared into his body emerged again. Long Chen’s body turned into a nest of dragons in an instant!

Infinite dragons crisscrossed all over his body!

Bai Zhanxiong sensed the changes in Long Chen but he believed it was only anger. He revelled in Long Chen’s helpless fury. “He should’ve died a long time ago. I was very kind to only kill him recently. You should’ve died then too but there was a slight mishap. I thought I could kill you by hiring some random guy because you were just a spoiled brat. I didn’t expect you to be so determined to live. I can’t believe you’re still alive today. But now, you shall reunite with your trash of a father again. See, I’m such a kind person!”

Long Chen didn’t speak. He only stared. Father, if you’d told me earlier I would’ve worked harder and never allowed this bastard to live this long!

You don’t care whether you live or die but I do. Bai Zhanxiong ...

Fury rolled through Long Chen like a tidal wave. As he looked at Bai Zhanxiong’s wild sneer, the bloodlust within him grew more and more intense until he was almost exploding!

The dragon jade suddenly vibrated once and the dragon jade absorbed the Inherited Blood Essence!
