Chapter 678: Ghost Venom Ants
Zhao Danchen sneered. He was about to attack when Feng Xuan gently pulled him back and said, “I want to ask for some information first.”
Zhao Danchen knew what she was going to ask, so he nodded.
Feng Xuan asked with her nose in the air, “Brat, before you die … Tell me, where did you hide that girl Huangfu Qi?”
Long Chen laughed and said, “What kind of question is that? I rescued her from you, so why would I tell you where I hid her? Do you think I’m an idiot? Or do you just have big breasts but no brains?”
Feng Xuan was so furious, her eyes reddened.
She could not believe that Long Chen would insult her under such circumstances!
He was about to die. Where did his confidence come from?
Feng Xuan held back her rage. For the sake of Huangfu Qi, she could hold it back one time, so she said calmly, “Let’s make a trade. I, Feng Xuan, can keep a promise. If you can hand Huangfu Qi over to me, I’ll keep you alive today!”
The Martial Alliance members were annoyed by her offer, especially Zhao Danchen, who glared at her coldly. His glare was as sharp as a sword, but it did not frighten Feng Xuan. She was a Fifth Earthly Martial Stage master after all!She had the right to say this, and she did not need to give Zhao Danchen face!
Zhao Danchen did not attack Feng Xuan, because he knew Long Chen well!
Long Chen was even more arrogant than he was, so he would never accept the offer.
Long Chen smiled and said, “I can accept that offer, but I have a condition. As long as you fulfill this condition, I will give you Huangfu Qi.”
“What is it?” asked Feng Xuan.
“Kill Zhao Danchen and give the Ancient Demon Corpse to me, then I will give you Huangfu Qi. What do you think?” Long Chen grinned.
The crowd was stunned by his boldness. The Dragon clan looked at him nervously. The fact that he dared say such a thing to cause a rift between two masters showed that he had extraordinary mental fortitude.
To be honest, if Long Chen was telling the truth, Feng Xuan would really consider it. However, he was clearly a cunning person. Even if she killed Zhao Danchen, it wasn’t certain that he would give her anything.
Of course, Feng Xuan was right. Even if she killed Zhao Danchen, he would not hand Huangfu Qi over to her.
She knew him, so she did not want to take the risk.
Zhao Danchen eyed Feng Xuan cautiously. Long Chen was just too cunning. He was worried that Feng Xuan would attack him under Long Chen’s persuasion.
Thankfully, she did not fall for it. Her thin brows, which were shaped like willow leaves, were slightly furrowed when she said, “It looks like you have no intention to make a trade. Think about it. If you refuse, not just you, but the whole Battle clan and Dragon clan will die. Not a single person will survive, and a river of blood will flow. Don’t force me.”
Feng Xuan now pressured Long Chen as well as all the people behind him.
However, no member of the Dragon clan would ever betray a friend for their own benefit!
Long Chen felt that he was lucky to have made these friends. He had no regrets!
All eyes were on him. They wanted to know what his decision was.
He did not hesitate for a moment. He pointed at Zhao Danchen, the Ancient Demon Corpse, and Feng Xuan and said mildly, “Will the three of you come together, one by one, or are you guys going to pair up and take turns?”
In the beginning, they did not understand him. But when they did, their jaws dropped.
Come together, one by one, or pair up and take turns?
Everyone was speechless. Zhao Danchen, the Ancient Demon Corpse, and Feng Xuan could each kill Long Chen with ease. Was he saying such arrogant things only to gain the favor of the crowd?
In the end, this was nothing but a joke.
The Martial Alliance members laughed.
Only Zhao Danchen did not.
After Feng Xuan’s brief delay, Zhao Danchen could no longer wait to fight this enemy from the past. The loss in front of the Ancient Demon Domain and having his arm ripped off was the most humiliating thing he had ever experienced!
He could not wait even a moment longer when his enemy was just in front of him!
He would only rest when he killed Long Chen personally and ripped every part of his body out!
“I’ll do it!” Zhao Danchen roared and strode over with heavy steps. There was a boom with each heavy footstep!
He did not even want to control the Ancient Demon Corpse. He only wanted to kill Long Chen personally!
The Dragon clan did not want Long Chen to face the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage Zhao Danchen, but he was stubborn, and they could not do anything. They had to leave it up to fate and hope a miracle would happen!
Golden energy flowed on Zhao Danchen’s skin, making him look like a golden war god standing in front of Long Chen. Long Chen looked very plain, but he stood his ground despite Zhao Danchen’s threats. His expression did not even change.
“Just you?” Long Chen chuckled, not taking Zhao Danchen seriously.
“Do you think witty insults are useful here, Long Chen?” Zhao Danchen asked coldly.
“No, they aren’t. So let’s hurry up and get this over with.” After Long Chen spoke, he began his Dragon Soul Transformation. This battle was inevitable. He wanted Zhao Danchen to know that Long Chen was a peak that Zhao Danchen would never conquer.
Long Chen’s awesome Dragon Soul Transformation looked even more terrifying than Zhao Danchen’s Golden Combat Body.
On the Dragon clan’s side, Long Yue, Jiang Wuya, Lei Zhen, and the others started discussing.
“Eldest Sister, do you think Seventh Brother can beat Zhao Danchen?” Jiang Wuya asked solemnly.
“Zhao Danchen has reached the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage. Let’s hope Seventh Brother can hold on for a while. I think the news from Martial Overlord City will reach here soon.”
“Out of the few of us, Fifth Brother Chi Ying is the fastest, so he was the one who executed that task. I think he succeeded since Zhao Danchen and the others left Martial Overlord City a few days ago. The moment the news arrives, Zhao Danchen will surely hurry back to Martial Overlord City!”
“Tens of thousands of Ghost Venom Ants, my most valuable asset. My master left them to me years ago. Letting them lose in Martial Overlord city will likely cause huge chaos, but it will also kill and hurt many ordinary people …” Lan Ling’er said sadly.
“They released the Ghost Venom Ants in the army camp where tens of thousands of Martial Alliance Enforcers are. This won’t affect ordinary people much. Sixth Sister, don’t blame yourself. We had no choice but to use that method to distract them, in order for us to survive this ordeal. The Ghost Venom Ants are difficult to deal with, and Zhao Danchen has brought all his strongest people here. Let’s hope he rushes back once he hears about it. He has only just become the Martial Overlord; he wouldn’t want to lose all his subordinates! Without the Enforcers, how will the Martial Alliance control the Divine Martial Empire?”
They knew that Zhao Danchen would attack the Battle clan, so they had launched a plan, which involved releasing the demonic insects that Lan Ling’er kept, the Ghost Venom Ants, into the Enforcers’ camp. Since they wanted to congratulate Zhao Danchen on becoming the new Martial Overlord, many Head Enforcers from across the Divine Martial Empire had gathered in the city. If Zhao Danchen did not return to save them, they would all die as Xiao Lin could not deal with so many ants on his own.
Although the Ghost Venom Ants were useless against stronger masters, they were a nightmare to the lower-level Enforcers, who were around the Seventh Passage Stage!
Lan Ling’er did not usually show them off, so Long Chen did not know about them. But the other Dragon clan members did.
Their only hope was for Long Chen to hold on a little longer until Zhao Danchen received news and rushed back to Martial Overlord City!
After Long Chen used the Dragon Soul Transformation, Zhao Danchen could no longer hold himself back, so he attacked.
Long Chen radiated an immense aura. Zhao Danchen wondered if Long Chen had improved.
That’s impossible. He only just reached the Second Earthly Martial Stage. Zhao Danchen smirked to himself, then the golden energy flowed through his whole body. He started radiating pure heat, turning him into a sun!
He had just reached the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage. Although he was just a little weaker than the previous Martial Overlord, he had no doubts about defeating Long Chen!
It was time to wash away the humiliation from their previous battle!
Not only did he want to break Long Chen’s arm off, he also wanted to make him wish he was dead!
This was the most violent revenge!
There was a glint of bloodlust in his eyes.
Zhao Danchen chuckled coldly and suddenly turned into a golden arrow, flying straight at Long Chen!
His fist tore through space, creating a deafening sound of friction. His golden fist contained great strength, and it had arrived in front of Long Chen!
Zhao Danchen was at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage; adding the power provided by his Golden Combat Body, just a simple move was powerful beyond belief!
He was like an unstoppable tidal wave!
But Long Chen was like a sturdy rock by the beach that stood unmoving despite the wind. When Zhao Danchen charged, Long Chen stood his ground and closed his eyes, slowly swinging his fist. This punch contained all his comprehension of the Earthly Martial Realm, and although it looked slow, it met Zhao Danchen’s fist!
The golden fist and the red fist collided!
Boom!
There was a burst of red and golden light, which then faded.
Long Chen and Zhao Danchen took a few steps back.
This was a competition of pure power, but the results were out of everyone’s expectations.
Zhao Danchen had the Golden Combat Body and was at the fourth Earthly Martial Stage. How had Long Chen managed to withstand Zhao Danchen’s tsunami-like punch?!
