Dragon War God

Chapter 850 - White Lotus Sword

With the addition of the Long-Bearded Guest, who was talking to Wu Lian, all ten of them were gathered.

They were still far away when Long Chen felt Wu Lian’s gaze. As expected of someone who was born a Sword Warrior and had a Sword Root, her gaze was like a sharp sword threatening to cut Long Chen.

She was wearing a white dress and a white face veil. She had her hair tied in a ponytail and looked just like a sword-wielding fairy.

Bai Lan and the others had just landed when the bloodlust and murderous aura surrounded them. Feng Qing and Wu Lian said nothing as they silently approached Long Chen. They had been waiting for this for a very long time.

The four from the Five Elements Alliance were snickering. Bai Lan and Wu Lian were the two strongest individuals here, so the Five Element Alliance was more than happy to let them fight each other while they themselves reaped the reward.

“Careful,” whispered Bai Lan.

Wu Lian's icy glare was a clear sign that there would be blood spilled today.

They were just twenty meters away from each other when the wind blew past them. Wu Lian’s long skirt floated slightly, revealing a hint of her jade-like legs. It was a wonder that she had maintained her youth even though she was hundreds of years old.

Feng Qing, on the other hand, was visibly angry.

“Long Chen, how dare you show your face here. You shall pay for taking Zhilin and Guangyu’s lives.”

His voice was trembling from anger.

But to Bai Lan, Feng Qing was merely Wu Lian’s dog. He ignored him and instead stared at Wulian. “You bitch. You are accusing Long Chen of killing Wu Guangyu. Do you have proof?”

Indeed. It was hard to pin the blame on Long Chen based merely on the fact that he had been spotted with Mo Xiaolang.

Feng Zhilin wasn’t killed by Long Chen, and he didn’t even know where she was. “The wolf is my sworn brother, and Wu Guangyu was the one who took him away from me. Since I finally became strong enough to beat him, I took my brother back on my own accord, but Wu Guangyu’s death is unrelated to me. The Ancient Graveyard is a strange place with powerful beasts, like the one hiding in Tianyi Lake. Who knows if beasts like those are hidden in other places too?”

Long Chen never once shied away from a challenge.

But Wu Lian visibly didn’t trust their words.

She remained silent for a very long time before a white lotus appeared in her eyes. Sharp rays shone from her eyes, causing Long Chen to tremble a little. He felt his scalp going numb and his heart beating rapidly.

He knew that Wu Lian wouldn’t believe a single word he said.

It was one thing if she said anything, but now she was so mad that she couldn’t utter a single word.

No matter how much Long Chen explained himself, it would be useless because Wu Lian was convinced that Long Chen had killed her son.

In that case, there was no reason for Long Chen to hide it. Bai Lan was trying to think of a way out of this when Long Chen stood up against Wu Lian’s pressure. He was using his essence to push back.

“I did kill Wu Guangyu, but I don’t know where Feng Zhilin is.”

Long Chen stared at them both before continuing, “He’s weaker than me, so he died by my hand. The strong eats the weak. This is a simple rule that everyone obeyed ever since they came to the Ancient Graveyard. He almost killed me when I first entered this place, and I took revenge. This is a simple matter; you can only blame his weakness. The Five Emperors’ Secret Realm is opening soon. Will the two of you fight to the death here?”

Long Chen was much younger than them, but he had actually managed to withstand their pressure and talked back.

His eyes never wavered even once. He could talk to them with such conviction even though he was the one who killed Wu Guangyu. Long Chen was indeed very brave.

He was the strongest youth in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, and Wu Guangyu had lost to him.

Wu Lian had always been proud of her son.

But Long Chen had destroyed everything.

If the Five Emperors’ Secret Realm wasn’t about to open, she would’ve attacked Bai Lan and Long Chen immediately. She wouldn’t have stood still and said nothing.

Bai Lan was impressed by Long Chen’s performance. He and Wu Lian were even in strength, so he stopped playing chicken and said, “In that case, all I will say is that you will have to go through me to get to Long Chen. I will protect him no matter what. You better think carefully, since the Five Emperors’ treasure is going to be up for grabs soon. Don’t let someone else pick it up for free. You should understand how important the treasure is.”

Feng Qing frowned when he heard Bai Lan’s words.

He had also been thinking about that problem.

If they fought now, Bai Lan and Lei Ji would be tough foes to defeat. If they fought here just because of Long Chen and were severely injured, the Five Elements Alliance would swoop in and attack all of them.

“Sister Wu, let’s wait until the Five Emperors’ Secret Realm is open. I doubt that Bai Lan and the others will protect Long Chen when the treasure is right in front of their eyes.”

Wu Lian remained silent.

Everyone was still waiting for her decision, but she stood still like a statue. The longer she stood silently, the more unsure everyone was.

Ding!

A clear sound echoed in the air, and a snow-white sword appeared in Wu Lian’s arms.

It was the White Lotus Sword, the counterpart of the Azure Lotus Sword!

Bai Lan and the others frowned when they saw it appear.

“You crazy woman.” Bai Lan and Lei Ji looked at each other. They knew that it was serious this time. It was very likely that Wu Lian would forfeit the treasure for the sake of killing Long Chen.

Long Chen, on the other hand, looked at her sword.

The snow-white sword appeared to have been absorbed into Wu Lian’s hand. The way she held her sword was more scary than Wu Guangyu because the sword looked like an extension of her body. In fact, there was even essence exuding from the White Lotus Sword, as if it was connected to her veins. Her essence was circulating inside the sword and formed its own circulation cycle.

In a sense, she could unleash even more power from the White Lotus Sword.

“Sister Wu, the treasure is more important ...”

When Feng Qing said that, the icy aura exuding from her body made him nervous.

Bai Lan knew that there was nothing more to be said after seeing Wu Lian preparing to fight them. He told Long Chen to be careful before he walked forward. “In that case, let’s fight here and now. I think it will be interesting to decide the victor here.”

Bai Lan had always been arrogant, and Wu Lian was the only person he was wary of. Still, that didn’t mean he was afraid of her.

To fight or not to fight?

Everyone was looking at Wu Lian.

Everyone would be talking about how emotional Wu Lian was if she fought here right now.

While everyone was looking at them, Wu Lian suddenly laughed. Her voice somehow sounded like it came from the clouds.

“Who said I was going to fight?”

She put the White Lotus Sword away.

No one could tell what she was thinking. Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Long Chen was confused too. Even he did not know what Wu Lian was trying to do.

Bai Lan said, “In that case, let’s enter the Five Emperors’ Secret Realm now.”

“No.” Wu Lian stopped him. “Everyone here is at the Heavenly Martial Realm. Long Chen is too weak, so how can he enter?”

She was clearly targeting Long Chen.

Long Chen was also arrogant, so he laughed and said, “What’s your goal? Stop playing games and tell me what do you want me to do so I can enter the Secret Realm.”

“Easy. Fight against someone at the First Heavenly Martial Stage. You win, you get to enter. If you lose, that means you are not qualified to join us.”

“Long Chen, there’s no need to do this. Those with the keys can enter regardless.”

Bai Lan knew that Wu Lian was trying to provoke Long Chen to destroy him once and for all. If Long Chen wasn’t killed, he would at least be severely injured.

Wu Lian would never stop hounding after Long Chen if she didn’t do this.

Long Chen shook his head. He couldn’t embarrass himself here. He was a man, and he refused to take disrespect from anyone. He laughed and pointed at Feng Qing. “Do you want that old bastard to test me, then? He isn’t qualified to do so!”

“What did you say?!”

Feng Qing was angered. It was clear that Long Chen looked down on him. He was a Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator and also the patriarch of the Wind clan, an individual who stood at the top of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. How could someone as young as Long Chen be this disrespectful to him?

“I said, you are just an old bastard. Do you have something to complain about, old man?”

“You seek death!” Feng Qing was completely enraged.

Long Chen had not only called him an old bastard, but also an old man. Feng Qing was already fuming because Long Chen had killed both Wu Guangyu and Feng Zhilin. Now Long Chen was provoking him further.

“Fine, in that case, let us see if you have the strength to back it up. Feng Qing, attack!”

Wu Lian stepped back, her voice filled with undefiable authority.

“Long Chen...” Bai Lan was worried.

“Wu Lian will not stop until she’s convinced. Don’t worry, it’s just Feng Qing. I will win no matter what. He’s far weaker than me!”

Long Chen sounded arrogant as he taunted Feng Qing.

Bai Lan saw that there was no way to stop this, so he just stepped back and gave them space.
