Chapter 590 – Zhao Danchen

Chapter 590 – Zhao Danchen

Long Chen had the habit of often using the Soul Swallowing Gaze. While he was practicing the Willow Step in his room, he occasionally saw Lei Zhen walk past his house.

The future of his whole clan was now in his hands alone. It was a huge weight on his shoulders, and although Lei Zhen presented as a strong person, he was suffering privately and felt bleak. Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

The Battle clan had to win the bet in ten days, and he was going to be one of the fighters. The agreement was that if they did not win two rounds, the Battle clan would submit to the Martial Alliance. The Martial Alliance believed that the Battle clan was going to hold up their end of the bet. Their goal was to subdue the Battle clan without any effort spent. In reality, to the Battle clan, that would be the beginning of the true war for their lives.

If they lost the bet, then they would fight for their lives.

Fighting for their lives would ignite the passion in their blood. Lei Zhen knew that without an absolutely powerful master in the Battle clan, they were fated to lose the war. There was basically no chance of surviving this.

When the Martial Alliance made their quick rise to power in the Divine Martial Empire, the Battle clan knew that this day would come.

The Battle clan had existed for countless years. They were different from the Ancient Demon Domain and Huangfu family, because they had an unwillingness to submit. The other two powers would never be able to compare in terms of spirit. If it came down to a true battle for the clan’s survival, neither of those forces would be a match for the Battle clan.

Although raw power was important on the journey of the Martial Dao, one’s mindset, determination, and even faith were just as important. The undying stubbornness of the Battle clan had become their faith.

That was why this man, Lei Zhen, was carrying such a huge weight on his shoulders.

Long Chen opened the door and came out with Xiaolang. Xiaolang had always been quiet, so he did not say much.

When Lei Zhen saw that it was Long Chen, he squeezed a smile with great difficulty and said, “Seventh Brother, why are you out here?”

Long Chen went to his side, studied Lei Zhen for a while, and then said, “I can see that you’re thinking about many things, Fourth Brother. Let’s take a walk and talk about it.”

Lei Zhen froze for a second, then he nodded. “Mhm, alright ...”

They walked towards the outside of the forest.

“Seventh Brother, you guys don’t actually need to get involved in this mess. It looks like the Battle clan can’t avoid this tragedy; I don’t want you guys to be dragged into it too. I’ve tried to convince Second and Third Brother to leave, but unfortunately, they won’t listen. Now you’re here too. Seventh Brother, you’re still young. Don’t kill your future because of me, your useless Fourth Brother ...”

As he spoke, Lei Zhen gave a resigned, bitter smile.

Long Chen’s heart sank.

After a long time, Lei Zhen stood up and smiled at Long Chen, embarrassed. “Seventh Brother, I apologize for this.”

“Fourth Brother, you are a true man. You have my genuine respect,” Long Chen said seriously.

Lei Zhen nodded and said, “Let’s go. I have finished venting, so it’s time to go back. The huge Battle clan needs my supervision.”

Long Chen and Lei Zhen prepared to leave. Suddenly, a very creepy laugh came from behind them. Their hair stood on end and they quickly turned around. Xiaolang did not speak, but two balls of flames appeared in his eyes. The black flames were the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire.

Long Chen looked at the man, who was the source of the laughter.

It was a young man wearing long, golden robes that fell loosely around him, shining luxuriously. His long hair fell behind him, and what made him look strange was that both his long hair and eyes were pure golden, making him look very shiny. Such a strange-looking person was surely no ordinary man.

He looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, like he was looking at prey.

It was Long Chen’s first time meeting a person with golden hair and eyes. When he used the Dragon Soul Transformation, his eyes turned blood-red. If this person looked like that without any transformation, it meant he was part of some special bloodline.

Lei Zhen’s gaze changed when he saw the young man. He took several steps back, pulled Long Chen behind him, and said, “Zhao Danchen, your injuries have healed?!”

Long Chen froze. So that was why he felt like this young man was strong! He was one of the legendary top two prodigies of the Divine Martial Empire, Zhao Danchen!

Zhao Danchen was about twenty years old and he was one of the three Martial Emperors of the Martial Alliance! He was at the Third Earthly Martial Stage, meaning he was extremely powerful! Zhao Danchen’s surname was not originally Zhao. Like Jian Chen, he had climbed the ranks through the Martial Alliance’s training process. Due to his outstanding performance, when he reached the Third Earthly Martial Stage and became a Martial Emperor, Martial Overlord Zhao Wuji took him in as a stepson and gave him the surname Zhao!

Reaching Long Yue’s level at such a young age showed that Zhao Danchen was no ordinary person. Huangfu Fengchen, Long Yue, the other Martial Emperors, and the Demon Emperor were all in their thirties when they reached the Third Earthly Martial Stage. If Zhao Danchen continued to grow at this rate, it was possible for him to reach the Fourth or Fifth Earthly Martial Stage!

Long Chen had heard that he was injured when he fought the Battle Emperor. It had only been a few days, but he had already recovered.

When Long Chen met the young man face to face, he sensed exactly how terrifying he was. Those golden eyes were filled with a suffocating power. Their eyes only met for a moment, but he felt like a whole mountain was pressing on him.

Normal people would instinctively dodge Zhao Danchen’s gaze, but Long Chen did not. His heart had a strong refusal to admit defeat, which came from the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon. With such determination in his heart, how would he ever bow down to this person?

What was Zhao Danchen doing here?

Long Chen and Lei Zhen did not know, but his appearance did not bode well for them.
