Chapter 524 - Consequences

“It’s not that easy to kill me!” Ying Shaotian knew that he had been fooled by Long Chen. He never would’ve guessed that Long Chen was this strong, so he was still in disbelief. He now realized that Long Chen was an exceedingly dangerous foe, but there was no time to process his shock. He needed to fight back now, or he would be dead!

Even Ying Shaotian shuddered when he felt the strength of the Heaven Sword Array.

Countless runes formed a circular pattern and then swept towards Ying Shaotian.

“Impossible! It cannot be that strong!” An enemy at the same level as Long Chen would not be able to fight back thanks to the Blood Devouring Domain. Long Chen’s attack far exceeded Ying Shaotian’s expectations. This was a kill in one blow!

“Hurricane Sword Finger!” Ying Shaotian used the technique that he had used on Liu Yiyi, but this time it was weaker due to the Blood Devouring Domain.

“No!”

The Red Ghost King was the one who had shouted, not Ying Shaotian.

He was at the Earthly Martial Realm, so he could tell that Long Chen could kill Ying Shaotian. He decided to step in to save his disciple just like Clear Shallows King had. But the Red Ghost King was not as courteous as the Clear Shallows King, so no one knew if he would spare Long Chen.

As if anticipating this, the Clear Shallows King blocked the Red Ghost King.

“Red Ghost, your disciple hasn’t admitted defeat. You can rescue him once he does!” The Clear Shallows King had the rules on her side.

She was right. The Red Ghost King couldn’t save him before Ying Shaotian admitted defeat.

“Go away!” The Red Ghost King was beyond nervous. He had no time to deal with her. He tried circling around her, but she still blocked him. He realized that she was determined to make him her enemy today!

They were similar in strength, so he was confident he could beat her, but he had no time. Ying Shaotian was going to die if he didn’t get there now.

“Shaotian, admit defeat!” the Red Ghost King howled.

His eyes were bloodshot too.

Everyone could hear his guttural shout.

Chen Feng was distracted by Long Chen’s Demonic Illusion. Even though Chen Feng was stronger, the Demonic Illusion was still strong enough to delay him and allow Long Chen to kill Ying Shaotian.

Everyone thought Ying Shaotian was going to be killed, including the Red Ghost King, but Ying Shaotian himself didn’t believe it.

Master wants me to quit? Is he looking down on me? No! I must not admit defeat to this idiot! he shouted from the bottom of his heart.

Ignoring his boiling blood, he used all of his Qi to increase the strength of his Hurricane Sword Finger.

His attack soon became as powerful as the one he had used against Liu Yiyi.

“I would be an idiot to show you mercy.” Long Chen chuckled.

Ying Shaotian had gone completely crazy. Even though he was smart, he was very arrogant deep down. He thought Long Chen was far below him, so even though his life was about to be taken by Long Chen, he refused to believe that he would lose.

That was why he did not admit defeat even though the Red Ghost King wanted him to.

“Master! Watch me win!” he shouted from inside the Blood Devouring Domain.

Those from his pavilion didn’t even stand beside him, much less the others.

The Clear Shallows King smiled and returned to her own position.

Long Chen’s performance had exceeded her expectations. Now the main concern wasn’t defeating the Red Ghost Pavilion, but to see if Long Chen could get the Emperor Flame Pearl and push the Clear Shallows Pavilion to first place!

There was no need for the Red Ghost King to kneel anymore. Long Chen had done something better: he had killed Ying Shaotian. That would leave a longer-lasting impact on the Red Ghost King.

Ying Shaotian was completely gone, his body disintegrated. How could the Red Ghost King force Liu Yiyi to marry Ying Shaotian now?

Nothing could be done.

The unexpected outcome had left the crowd silent. No one dared to say anything as they silently looked at the blood-red individual in the middle of the arena.

The Demonic Illusion had returned to Long Chen’s side. Chen Feng frowned and stopped his attack.

“Continue the battle. Your strength is the only factor that will decide who gets the Emperor Flame Pearl!” Jiang Wushang announced.

Both Long Chen and Chen Feng were people Jiang Wushang wanted to nurture, especially Long Chen. Jiang Wushang wanted to give the Emperor Flame Pearl to Long Chen since he had exhibited such fearsome battle prowess even though he was only at the Seventh Passage Stage. Chen Feng was already at the Ninth Passage Stage, so he didn’t need the Emperor Flame Pearl anymore.

How much stronger would Long Chen become if he advanced into the Ninth Passage Stage?

Unfortunately, Jiang Wushang had no choice but to abide by the rules.

After witnessing Ying Shaotian’s death, everyone’s perception of Long Chen had changed completely. They had thought Long Chen was just a lucky donkey.

But was luck alone enough to kill someone at the Eighth Passage Stage?

Was it luck that had allowed him to play around with two strong enemies?

It was clearly impossible.

Chen Feng was now deeply wary of Long Chen.

“Both me and Ying Shaotian underestimated you.” Chen Feng shook his head and sighed, “You chose to target him first, so he has perished, but I will not make the same mistake. Jiang Cheng, you are one of the strongest enemies I will face on my path of growth. I will use all of my strength to defeat you!”

Chen Feng’s body slowly transformed too.

Beast Warrior?! Long Chen was shocked.

He was indeed a Beast Warrior. Chen Feng’s body didn’t change much after transforming, but he looked much more nimble after he grew black fur. His hands and feet had become paws with powerful claws.

He was a humanoid black panther!

Long Chen felt a heavy pressure exuding from the transformed Chen Feng.

It seems it won’t be easy to get the Emperor Flame Pearl ... Long Chen wasn’t sure if he could win, so he had no choice but to use all of his strength.

But now the situation had turned to his advantage.

It was still a two-on-one fight, but now it was Chen Feng’s turn to be outnumbered.
