Chapter 503 - Wind Riding Sword Finger
Ying Shaotian was talented in wind-attribute techniques just like Chu Yunxi was. Inside the tornado, Ying Shaotian pointed a single finger at Long Chen’s throat. A strong ray of energy shot towards him like a sword.
“Wind Riding Sword Finger!”
To make sure his plan worked, Ying Shaotian used an advanced Heaven-tier martial technique. The strongest aspect of this technique was its speed. Just like Long Chen’s Sword Devil Finger, Ying Shaotian had used it when the sword was already near Long Chen’s throat.
The attack was several times scarier than Ling Xi’s Sword Devil Finger in terms of speed and strength.
Under the whirlwind’s effect, the sword was also rotating like a drill. If it hit Long Chen, it would pierce through his throat!
Both Demon Kings were in awe at the attack. With Ying Shaotian’s talent, he would definitely become the next Demon King in just ten years. A Demon King at the age of twenty-seven was unheard of.
Of course, there were many others at the Earth Martial Realm in the palace.
The Clear Shallows King was frowning. She knew most of Long Chen’s battle strength came from his transformation, and he hadn’t transformed yet, so he was defenseless against the advanced Heaven-tier martial technique. If Long Chen died here, he wouldn’t be able to participate in the upcoming assessment.
Liu Yiyi’s face was pale. Long Chen was a boy who had left a deep impression on her. She couldn’t stop Long Chen’s naughty smile for the past few days, not the stoic expression he had on his face when he walked away. If he died now, her heart would be empty.
The Clear Shallows King was about to save him when she saw the Red Ghost King staring at her. It was likely that he would stop her the moment she moved.
At the final moment, Long Chen made his move. Everyone was shocked to see him transform into a blood-red light and dodge the attack. He also disappeared from the Clear Shallows King Pavilion.
Both the Clear Shallows King and the Red Ghost King saw the bizarre scene.
They were certain that even if they used all their strength, they could not move at such speeds. Only one person could move at that speed, and it was none other than the master of the Ancient Demon Domain, the one who was called the Demon Emperor, Jiang Wuxie!
The two were stunned. Only Liu Yiyi sighed in relief when she saw that Long Chen was fine. She looked towards the outside of the pavilion and knew that Long Chen was somewhere nearby.
She had seen how mysterious Long Chen was. She was certain that she had killed him in their fight, but he had come out unscathed. And now, despite being at such a low cultivation level, he had exhibited such demonic speed ...
Of course, Long Chen hadn’t shown his true power. If he had, the Red Ghost King would’ve spat blood out of regret and died.
“Both of you, please leave,” Long Chen reminded them once more.
The Red Ghost King gritted his teeth and suppressed the urge to smack Long Chen, but he was wary of the Clear Shallows King, so he had to endure it for now. Just then, he looked at Liu Yiyi and chuckled. “Is this your daughter? She’s growing up to be beautiful. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to call her the greatest beauty in the Seven Demon King Pavilions. She would be a great match for Ying Shaotian. Clear Shallows King, don’t forget about the bet we made before. It was made in front of the Demon Emperor himself. I wonder, can anyone in your pavilion defeat Ying Shaotian?”
He then laughed and walked away. Ying Shaotian smiled and bowed. “I apologize for the brazen words of my master. Miss Liu Yiyi is definitely stronger than me. It’s uncertain who will win. I’m sorry for offending you today, and I will return to apologize another day. Goodbye.”
He then left with the Red Ghost King.
Only Long Chen and the other two were left.
Both the Clear Shallows King and Liu Yiyi were impressed by how Long Chen had turned the situation around so easily.
“Jiang Cheng, you did well today. I would like to appoint you as my direct disciple. Do you accept?”
“Of course I do ... But what’s the bet that you made with them?” Long Chen had a feeling that the bet concerned Liu Yiyi and Ying Shaotian, and the reason why the Clear Shallows King was nurturing him so much was because of the bet.
The Clear Shallows King knew that she could not hide it anymore, so she sighed and looked apologetically at Liu Yiyi. “This was five years ago. I was rash and harmed Yiyi.”
Harmed?
“What’s going on?”
“During the previous assessment, the Red Ghost King Pavilion got second place and we got last. At the final battle, the Red Ghost King’s disciple killed our strongest disciple. We never had a friendly relationship to begin with, so I fought him that day. Afterwards, we made a bet in front of the Demon Emperor. If we lost to the Red Ghost King Pavilion in the next assessment, I would marry off my daughter to his strongest disciple, and if he lost, he would have to kowtow three times to me and apologize.”
The Clear Shallows King was regretting her actions when she looked at her daughter. “This was the biggest mistake of my life. I harmed my daughter because of how rash I was, and I still blame myself to this very day. Yiyi, I’m so sorry ...”
Long Chen suddenly felt like the Clear Shallows King was not as irritating as before.
