Dragon Blooded War God Chapter 337: Young Sword Emperor

Chapter 337: Young Sword Emperor

Upon leaving Clear Water City, they had only completed less than half the journey to the Western Sea Kingdom. Due to Liu Qingqings mention of the mysterious person, plus the improvement in Ling Xis health, Long Chen accelerated his travel. After he traveled by foot for two days in a row, Xiaolang showed no signs of waking, and Ling Xis condition seemed to worsen due to the lack of rest.
So Long Chen had no choice but to slow down.
According to Liu Qingqing, that mysterious person was much stronger than Song Zhongcheng at the Eighth River Stage. Long Chen could guess who it was. Out of the three most powerful members of the imperial family, the Sword Emperor would not be here. That left the Sword Devil and Lin Zichen. Since the Sword Devil was guarding the Counter Essence Realm, Lin Zichen was the most likely candidate.
If it really was Lin Zichen, Long Chen had no confidence that he could beat him. Lin Zichen was a legend in the Cangyang Kingdom after all, as he had reached the Ninth River Stage at a young age. He was a Sword Warrior with superior combat abilities, even owning a super divine weapon like the Imperial Sword.
The Imperial Sword was known as the number one divine weapon in the Cangyang Kingdom, so it was surely above the Earth-tier. Since the tier system went from Yellow, Black, Earth, to Heaven, then the Imperial Sword had to be a legendary Heaven-tier divine weapon!
Long Chen could only dream of having a Heaven-tier weapon.
Blood Sacrifice had been enough to kill Song Zhongcheng, but Lin Zichen would not be the same. He had a feeling that Lin Zichen would be his most terrifying enemy thus far!
He could only do his best for the sake of survival!
Brother Chen, where are we going? Ling Xi leaned her head close to his ear, giving off a pure, refined fragrance.
Were heading towards Demon Emperor Mountain. Looking ahead, Long Chen quickened his footsteps.
Why? Isnt the other route shorter? Ling Xi was puzzled. After traveling for two days and nights, she still felt terrible even with the nourishment of herbs.
There is a faction in Demon Emperor Mountain that the imperials are afraid of, Heavenly Demon Palace. If we take the shorter route, we will likely be stopped, but if were in Heavenly Demon Palace territory, the imperials wont dare to act recklessly, Long Chen explained as he hurried along.
Alright Ling Xi nodded, burying her face in his back. She did not speak again. The spring breeze was still chilly, so she was only warmer when she curled up on his back. Brother Chen, can you carry me on your back like this forever? she suddenly asked, looking down.
Silly girl, what are you thinking about now? Long Chen smiled in exasperation.
Lets not search for the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit anymore. I just want to stay with you like this. Lets find a place with no killing. Ling Xi knew that her request was a little unrealistic, but she had decided to voice it out regardless.
Hm? Dont overthink it. We must get the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit. If I survive this ordeal, I will return and the imperial capital will face my wrath for what theyve done. Xiaolang still needs to take his revenge too! Long Chen said darkly.
Alright Ling Xi nodded, as she had no choice. She was not worried that he would be in great danger if he returned to the Biyang Imperial Capital. Since she was more knowledgeable, she trusted his strength greatly. However, she was worried that once she had recovered her true body and cultivation, her family would sense it. In that case, it would be likely that Ling Xi and Long Chen would be separated forever.
There was a huge canyon between them in terms of status. Whatever. I shouldnt think too much and distract Brother Chen. Its a critical time now. As long as we survive this last phase and escape successfully, we will get to live in peace for a while. Brother Chen has been pushing his body hard for the past few days, so he must be tired she thought to herself.
Long Chen was not the only one who was tiring out. Xiaolang was still in a comatose state after burning his life fire. Long Chen was carrying him in a cloth tied around his neck, and the journey had been bumpy and tiring. It would likely take some time before he woke up.
They hurried along for days. Xiao Xi, do you see that black mountain that touches the sky up ahead? Long Chen stopped to look up at the steep mountain in front of them that pierced through the clouds. It was unbelievably tall! The mountains around it were already tall, but this one stood out like a heron in a flock of chickens.
Ling Xi gasped in surprise. That mountain looks like a sword!
Long Chen peered closely and indeed, it looked like a sword that pierced the sky, not just physically, but also spiritually. The black mountains peak glinted like a sharp sword, so he did not dare to look at it directly.
That must be the tallest mountain in the Cangyang Kingdom, Demon Emperor Mountain. Ive heard that Heavenly Demon Palace is located on this mountain, and theyre almost as powerful as the imperial family. Im sure they have a master on par with the Sword Emperor, he said.
He had heard about the Heavenly Demon Palace at Yuanling City. When he rescued Xuan Ming from the Azure Dragon Planet, he heard that she was from this faction, and that she held a lofty status too. I wonder what happened to Stepfather after they escaped the Star Devil Prison. I hope theyre happy, Long Chen said with a smile.
Im sure theyre very happy together. To be honest, I admire them a lot, Ling Xi said admiringly.
Xiao Xi, lets go. As long as we pass Demon Emperor Mountain, we will arrive in the Western Sea Kingdoms territory. Well head to their imperial capital directly. I dont think the imperial family will dare wreak havoc there. Now that they could see their destination, Long Chens heart relaxed a little.
Of course, he could not relax completely.
Although Lin Zichen had not arrived, his name was like a mountain on Long Chens shoulders.
When they were about to reach the mountain, Long Chen stopped walking and the mood turned somber. He had just been joking around with Ling Xi, but when he saw an arrogant figure standing ahead, his heart sank.
This was the path leading to Demon Emperor Mountain. There was a male, whose physique was similar to Long Chens, standing with his back towards them. He could tell that this was a tall and cold young man. With his black hair billowing in the wind, this stranger radiated an aura even sharper and scarier than Demon Emperor Mountain itself.
The young man was merely standing in place, yet it was enough to make anyone feel that it was impossible to get past him.
Long Chen placed Ling Xi down gently, then he took Xiaolang down from his neck and placed him in her arms. His expression was somber, because the person in front was the legendary Young Sword Emperor, Lin Zichen!
Long Chen thought he had managed to escape him, but he had ended up right in the palm of Lin Zichens hand.
Lin Zichen turned slowly. Finally, Long Chen saw the legendary prodigy in such close proximity for the first time.
His ink-black hair was initially scattered on his white clothes, but he then tied it up with a white strip of cloth behind his head. He seemed to radiate an iciness similar to a sharp sword; his sharp features seemed to be carved from a blade. He stood with his thin lips pursed, and his eyes, which were unimaginably deep, glared daggers at Long Chen.
If this person could make Long Chen so guarded, Ling Xi naturally knew that this was the Lin Zichen of the legends.
Although he was also a prince, Lin Zichen was far superior to the Ninth Prince, Lin Cangtian. A thousand Lin Cangtians would still be no match for him.
Ling Xi was beside herself with panic, knowing how terrifying he was. The six commanders and dwarves required Long Chen to risk his life in order to defeat them, so how could Long Chen be lucky enough to survive this?
His presence was the equivalent of bestowing death sentences upon the duo and the wolf. Ling Xi almost broke down.
Shh, dont worry. No matter what monster arrives, I will stand in front of you and kill them all. Close your eyes; it will all pass. Long Chen knew how scared she was, so he comforted her while letting her hug Xiaolang.
This was the final battle.
If he succeeded, Long Chen would truly turn his fate around on this path of life and death. If he failed, that meant he had reached the end of his journey. This was the most difficult battle, and also the most important.
Lin Zichen spotted Long Chen, then he nonchalantly eyed him up and down. He said with minimal movement in his lips, Im shocked that a person like you would appear in the Cangyang Kingdom. Unfortunately, you just had to become enemies with the imperial family
I did not want to become your enemy. You guys are the ones who refuse to let me live in peace, Long Chen responded with a shrug.
I heard that youre bold. Now that Ive seen you, its true You killed the six commanders of the royal guards and even annihilated the Harmony family. This is a huge loss to the imperial family. Even though I usually appreciate talent, I need to take you back.
Lin Zichen arched his eyebrows, then continued, To be honest, Ive been lonely for too long in the Cangyang Kingdom. A person like you is hard to come by. Unfortunately, youre just a silly hero wannabe, trying to fight the imperial family. Initially, I wanted to give you some time so you could grow further, but Ive given up on that. What you did has thoroughly embarrassed my family. My father, the Emperor, has already commanded me to either kill you or take you to see him
And that beautiful girl. All of this started because of her, so she also needs to go to the imperial capital too. I heard my Ninth Brother died because of her. What an idiot. But as an older brother, I think I will fulfil his wish in place of him

Looks like one more person is going to die today
