Chapter 598 - The Showdown
Jiang Wuya said, “If we let Long Chen participate in the First Earthly Martial Stage duel, we will win for sure. Long Chen is currently even stronger than I am, so it would be great if he could participate in the Second Earthly Martial Stage duel. It’s too bad he’s not at the Second Earthly Martial Stage.”
Everyone had decided to hand over the First Earthly Martial Stage duel to Long Chen.
Long Chen suddenly cut him off and said, “Everyone, I have another idea for the duel.”
The crowd froze and Lei Zhen asked, “What is it?”
Long Chen pulled Xiaolang over and said, “The bet is between experts of both sides. Although Xiaolang is a demonic beast, he is also considered an expert from our side. He is currently a Category One King-tier demonic beast. If he participates, I am confident that he will win!” Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om
Jian Chen and Lei Zhen were the only members of the group who had witnessed Xiaolang in battle before. When they were battling the Void Martial Saint, the most important component was actually his Nine Devils Ancestral Fire. It was also what chased Zhao Danchen away last night.
On top of that, Long Chen was endorsing him. That was why they did not doubt Xiaolang’s strength. However, they did not understand why Long Chen did not want to participate in the duel.
“Seventh Brother, why can’t you participate in the duel? Although Xiaolang is very strong, and we believe you, we feel that it will be an even more solid win if you go,” said Jiang Wuya.
“Didn’t Yang Ningfeng say we can send anyone for the third match because we have no Third Earthly Martial Stage people? I would like to participate in that duel. If Xiaolang or Second Brother don’t succeed, I would like to go for the final round!”
Long Chen did not beat around the bush and directly told them his intentions.
When he finished, everyone was impressed by his courage. They looked at each other and in the end, Jiang Wuya said, “Seventh Brother, do you know how big the gap is between us and someone at the Third Earthly Martial Stage? Yang Ningfeng, the person who made the bet, will be the one fighting. He is Martial Emperor Yang Ningfeng, and you witnessed his capabilities at the Cloud Dream Swamp, right?”
“I have, and that is why I would like to go for the final match!” Long Chen said with determination. There was endless confidence in his tone.
Everyone could see his determination when he answered.
“If you are confident Xiaolang can win the first match, I think this is worth trying,” said Jiang Wuya.
Everyone agreed.
“Don’t worry, everyone. It will be a simple matter for Xiaolang to win. Please believe me,” said Long Chen.
He was not exaggerating. Not only did Xiaolang have the super-powerful Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, he had also cultivated divine combat techniques. No human or beast in his tier was his match!
With Long Chen’s insistence, it had been decided. The three people who would participate would be Mo Xiaolang, Jiang Wuya, and Long Chen!
Long Chen would face Yang Ningfeng, a Martial Emperor-level master who was the former Great Priest of the Wind God Sect!
When everything was arranged, Lei Zhen buried Old Vulture in secret. This matter could not get out before the duel. As for Lei Ming, Lei Zhen could only lock him up for the moment.
The battle had yet to begin, but the Battle clan had already lost two great contributors. However, they had gained something new with the discovery of Long Chen’s terrifying combat abilities.
The insignificant Seventh Brother had suddenly become the center of attention!
“How have your preparations gone?” asked Lei Zhen when he saw Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang.
“Don’t worry. We’ll do our best,” Long Chen answered with a nod.
“Just do your best. Whether we live or die depends on the heavens ...” Lei Zhen chuckled bitterly. It was the key moment that would determine the fate of the clan, so the mood was heavy and tinged with anxiety.
However, when everyone noticed that they were surrounded by brothers who would fight side-by-side with them, passion filled their hearts!
“Let’s not sulk so much! The Martial Alliance will look down on us! Brothers, if we die today, we will drag a few of them down with us!” Jiang Wuya laughed loudly.
Everyone smiled, in full agreement.
The Battle clan members smiled gratefully at Jiang Wuya and the others.
They all stood together, and time passed slowly. It was almost the agreed time.
They had agreed to duel at noon!
Long Chen looked up and saw that the sun was already at the center of the sky.
Blood rushed through every warrior’s heart!
“The time has come! They’re here!” someone said. Everyone looked up and saw that beneath the blinding sunlight, a group of golden-robed men were flying above the dense forest. Their clothes fluttered loudly in the wind as they flew towards them!
The two people leading them were Zhao Danchen, the one Long Chen had previously encountered, and Yang Ningfeng!
Behind them were at least four Martial Saints and around ten Martial Kings. In terms of strength, they were superior to Long Chen’s side, especially with two Martial Emperors! And one of them was the legendary Zhao Danchen!
Previously, although Zhao Danchen had only casually used his Golden Eye of Annihilation, Long Chen knew exactly how terrifying his abilities were!
As for Yang Ningfeng, he was a person who could compete with Long Yue and was the former Great Priest of the Wind God Sect. How simple could a person like that be?
And the four Martial Saints and ten-plus Martial Kings ...
If they fought here, the Battle clan would not end up on top.
The Battle clan members felt immense pressure.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A cloud of dust flew in all directions when the Martial Alliance group landed on the yellow soil fifty meters away.
Beneath the sunlight, every Martial Alliance cultivator had a smile on his face. Zhao Danchen was in front, and he walked past Yang Ningfeng to the very front of the group, studying the Battle clan members. He said with a grin, “Cowards of the Battle clan! I can’t believe you guys actually dared to fight us!”
