Chapter 642 - Conditions

The Ancient Demon Corpse was the Ancient Demon Domain’s most mysterious treasure, and the Ancient Demon Flag was designed to solely control the corpse.

That treasure was now in Jiang Wuxie’s control.

Long Shan didn’t manage to stop him. After bringing the Ancient Demon Corpse under his control, Jiang Wuxie stared at Long Shan with cold eyes.

“So, will the senior from the Dragon clan step forward and try to take the Ancient Demon Corpse from me?” His eyes were flickering with amusement and his voice was arrogant.

Long Shan squinted. “No, it belongs to the Ancient Demon Domain. I have no intention of touching it.”

Jiang Wuxie chuckled, “Looks like you know a little about the Ancient Demon Domain.”

“I’ve only heard of it in passing. Jiang Wuxie, I will be clear with my demands. Since you obtained the Ancient Demon Corpse, you are technically recognized as someone at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage. You’ve been suppressed by the Martial Overlord for the past few years, so I’m sure you have a grudge against-”

Jiang Wuxie interrupted, “Do you mean to suggest that we work together and defeat Zhao Wuji? You aren’t wrong. I do want to kill Zhao Wuji. With you around, the Dragon clan now has the requirements to work with me. However, I have a condition. I won’t cooperate with you if the condition is not fulfilled.”

Jiang Wuxie was adamant on that matter.

“What is your condition?” Long Shan had a feeling he knew what it was.

Jiang Wuxie laughed. He walked towards the Ancient Demon Corpse and said, “It’s simple. Kill Long Chen. I want the Long Chen who killed my son to die. Give him to me and I will cooperate with you to deal with the Martial Alliance.”

Long Shan had expected that.

Long Yue was furious when Jiang Wuxie demanded Long Chen’s life. “Grandfather, there’s no way we can cooperate. Let’s go back.”

None of them would agree to sacrifice Long Chen just to cooperate with the Ancient Demon Domain.

Long Chen was also Long Shan’s savior; he had led the entire Long clan to escape the Nine Spirit Purgatory and he possessed unlimited potential. Long Shan would never sacrifice Long Chen for the sake of Jiang Wuxie, so he refused. “It seems that we cannot cooperate, then. Goodbye.”

Long Shan then walked towards Long Chen.

It was time to return to the Battle clan.

Just then, Jiang Wuxie’s cold voice came from behind Long Shan.

“Wait.” Jiang Wuxie laughed coldly as he waved the Ancient Demon Flag. “I don’t care if we cooperate or not, but Long Chen must die today. I will kill anyone who tries to stop me. Come and test the might of the Ancient Demon Corpse!”

What incredible regenerative abilities. Long Chen was even more wary of the Ancient Demon Corpse now.

I’m not sure if Senior Long Shan can continue to fight like this. He needs more time to rest and doesn’t have much stamina now. We will be in trouble if this keeps up. Long Chen frowned.

Long Shan was also frowning because he knew his limit.

“What do you think? I’m sure that the Ancient Demon Corpse is a surprisingly strong enemy for you.” Jiang Wuxie laughed and waved the Ancient Demon Flag. Strands of power flowed into the Ancient Demon Corpse.

Jiang Wuxie was satisfied with the Ancient Demon Corpse’s strength.

It was very strong.

If the mysterious Long Shan had such a tough time fighting against it, Jiang Wuxie was certain that the Martial Overlord would have a difficult time too. Jiang Wuxie finally had the strength to fight Zhao Wuji. He felt like his dream was going to come true.

Long Chen must die today.

Long Chen’s immeasurable potential made Jiang Wuxie feel pressured.

He would never rest until Long Chen was dead.

The Ancient Demon Corpse’s strength was endless. Jiang Wuxie commanded it to clash with Long Shan again and again. The horrific battle was more intense than Long Chen’s previous battle. Everyone had already evacuated while Jiang Wuxie had retreated until his back reached a mountain. He was afraid that Long Shan would attack him instead. Several strong experts from the Ancient Demon Domain saw that Jiang Wuxie was vulnerable, and they immediately surrounded the Demon Emperor to shield him from danger.

It would be difficult to launch a surprise attack unless they came from the back.

Jiang Wuxie could see everyone from his position. The moment Long Chen made any movement to steal the Ancient Demon Flag, Jiang Wuxie would immediately recall the Ancient Demon Corpse to protect him.

Everyone could do nothing but watch Long Shan battling the Ancient Demon Corpse.

Long Shan was more agile, but the Ancient Demon Corpse was stronger and tougher. Long Shan could only bide his time.

This is a very strong monster. What can I do to make it retreat? Long Shan was trying to come up with a plan as he fought. The Ancient Demon Corpse reminded him a lot of the previous Martial Overlord, though the Ancient Demon Corpse was even more sturdy. A single blow from it was more than enough to kill Long Shan.

“I have to take a risk.”

The Ancient Demon Corpse could only use basic punches and kicks, but those were more than enough to destroy a mountain.

The battle continued as Long Shan relied on his martial techniques. He used the Five Piercing Dragons again and clashed with the Ancient Demon Corpse’s attacks. This was the first time he had taken it head-on. Both of them were pushed back by the impact, with Long Shan’s face becoming paler while the Ancient Demon Corpse rolled on the ground.

After pushing the Ancient Demon Corpse down, Long Shan wasted no time—he suppressed his boiling blood and ran at the Ancient Demon Corpse while using his strongest technique, the Nine Heavens Strike.
