Dragon War God

Chapter 912 – Ye Xuan

The good weather turned into heavy rain that night. Time passed quickly when Long Chen was cultivating. After he studied the Emperor’s Manual for a while, the sky had already turned dark. Thunder rumbled frequently, and even cultivators were too lazy to head out in such heavy rain. Furthermore, they usually rested or cultivated at night anyway.

Long Chen opened the elegant windows. Through the veil of rain, he could see flickering lights throughout Underworld City. The city looked eerie in the storm as its black buildings appeared and disappeared in the night. It was not as bustling as it was during the day.

“What is it? Are you thinking about love, brat?” Behind Long Chen, the fuzzy Little Cat leaped from the floor to the window. When he saw the heavy rain, he quickly retreated to the room.

Long Chen was not thinking about anything. He had noticed someone walking in the rain on the street in front. He was using his essence to form a protective layer around him so that he would not get wet from the rain.

All cultivators could do this.

What intrigued Long Chen was that he recognized this person. It was the young prodigy he had seen earlier that day, the youth Ye Xuan. He seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll in the rain, below Long Chen’s window.

“Does he like walking that much?” This youth’s eyes did not contain the type of arrogance found in the young progeny of other clans, as if they were number one in the world. Instead, there was a certain quietness to them. Although he was young, he looked like he had a mature personality.

Long Chen was about to close the window. Ye Xuan and him were not from the same world.

Just before he closed them though, through his Soul Swallowing Gaze, he spotted a dark silhouette quickly approaching Ye Xuan from the back.

He could not even see the person clearly due to how fast they were traveling.

Based on this person’s aggressive aura, they held malicious intent towards the youth.

This was City Lord Ye Xuan’s territory, and the youth was her brother. He had only just arrived, yet someone wanted to kill him. Why?

This was a fight between two Divine Martial Realm experts.

Long Chen pulled in the shutters until only a tiny gap remained. Through the gap, he watched them.

Ye Xuan was indeed an expert. Despite the vigorous storm, he still sensed the ambusher’s presence. He turned quickly and then fought the attacker so intensely that even Long Chen could not see them clearly.

“Second Divine Martial Stage! Who are you?” Throughout the exchange, Long Chen only heard this question. Then he saw both get thrown back into the air. Although he could not see exactly how intense the duel was, based on the rumbling from the trembling hotel, he probably could not even survive the residual ripples of the fight between the two Divine Martial Realm experts. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The fight both started and progressed quickly.

The killer wanted to kill the youth, but this was City Lord Ye Xuan’s turf too. Therefore, the attacker had to use the quickest method to kill him, or his goal would not be achieved.

“Sister! Save me!”

Boom! The attacker was one stage above the youth, and in the Divine Martial Realm, one stage was not a small gap at all. The immense attack caused blood to spray out of the youth’s mouth as he flew towards the hotel!

What are the odds of this? Long Chen was speechless. He quickly backed off, and Ye Xuan crashed into his room and onto the ground.

The wall, despite being reinforced with runes, shattered.

There was even a large crater on the floor where the youth landed.

Ye Xuan’s gaze was cold. His face was pale, and there was blood on the corner of his mouth.

At the last moment, Long Chen suddenly made a decision. He said softly, “I’ll save you. Don’t fight back!”

Then he activated the energy from the Primordial Realm so that it sucked Ye Xuan inside. Once inside, Ye Xuan would surely be safe and sound.

Ye Xuan had only just spotted the young man next to him when the Primordial Realm sucked him in. He only had a moment to process, then he was tugged in. A second later, the floor where Ye Xuan previously stood collapsed. Long Chen stood next to the wall, so he did not crash downstairs along with the cloud of dust.

Thankfully, no one was staying in the room downstairs.

Right after Long Chen put Ye Xuan away, the attacker, who was dressed in all black, stormed in angrily. After he entered, he realized that Ye Xuan’s aura was gone.

“Where is he?” The killer looked at Long Chen with an icy glare. He radiated an eerie and dark aura, and his Divine Martial Realm aura exerted pressure on Long Chen’s body. Just a casual look from him could make someone below the Divine Martial Realm lose their mind.

“Ran off.” Long Chen took a step back and pretended to look at the man fearfully. He pointed at the large hole below.

The killer immediately rushed down, but halfway there, he quickly turned around and glared at Long Chen. He said coldly, “It is impossible for his aura to disappear just like that. You must have done something!”

Long Chen initially thought he was safe, and he had just sighed in relief. However, when the killer turned around, his hair immediately stood on end. At this critical moment, Long Chen did not argue and instead burned up all his essence and fled towards the City Lord’s estate using Blood Warp. His essence was boosted by his Dragon Soul Transformation and the Five Emperor Palm, and his sudden speed stunned the killer.

Who would have thought that a brat of the Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage could flee at such speed?

It was just a moment of shock, but Long Chen had already disappeared from his world. He wanted to chase, but Long Chen was running towards the City Lord’s estate. Ye Xuan had already sent out signals for help, so the City Lord was likely rushing over.

Who the hell was that? Mission failed!

The killer had no choice but to hide his aura, then he gradually disappeared in the stormy night.

Long Chen stopped five kilometers away. He only stopped because he had exhausted all the essence he had. Although he had used up all his essence, he still had the Category Seven Emperor-tier feral beast’s carcass in the Primordial Realm, which contained a lot of blood. Long Chen swallowed almost half of its blood so that his essence started to recover. It took some time for the blood to turn into essence, but he would soon recover completely.

He guessed that the killer would not dare chase after him, so Long Chen stood on a wide street and let Ye Xuan out of the Primordial Realm. After he placed Ye Xuan in the Primordial Realm, he had wrapped Primordial Qi around him so that all Ye Xuan knew was that he went to a place where he could not see anything.

There was a flash, and Ye Xuan emerged. When he appeared in front of Long Chen, he was filled with anxiety and was looking around. When he realized that he was not in danger, he said to Long Chen, “Thank you for saving my life, brother! I am very grateful!”

As he spoke, he eyed Long Chen up and down.

Long Chen looked slightly older than him with lean but strong limbs. He looked like he had unlimited power. His gaze was sharp, and there was a gray vertical line between his eyebrows. He also had a mysterious aura.

Of course, this was mostly a psychological effect. However, he did sense that Long Chen was not a simple-minded person, and Long Chen radiated a faint aura similar to that of a feral beast. Ye Xuan wasn’t sure what this was, but considering Long Chen had just saved him, how could he not be a capable person?

Although Long Chen looked like he was only at the Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage, Ye Xuan believed that this was not Long Chen’s true strength. He did not believe that a Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator could have escaped from that killer.

Long Chen was still weak, so he did not want to interact too much with strong people like Ye Xuan. He was weak but had many secrets; if they were discovered, it would be bad news for him.

“Young Master Ye, you’re safe now. You should go back to the City Lord’s estate as soon as possible. I’m leaving now as I have matters to attend to. Goodbye.” Despite Ye Xuan’s grateful thanks, Long Chen replied coldly and turned to leave. He quickly disappeared into the darkness, leaving Ye Xuan stunned.

“That person is quite interesting.” Looking in the direction where Long Chen had disappeared, the corners of Ye Xuan’s mouth turned up into a smile.

Thinking of the murder attempt, his expression hardened. He wondered, I’ve only just arrived at Underworld City. Who’s in such a hurry to kill me? Is it my family’s enemy? Or my sister’s enemy?

Ye Xuan could not figure it out.

***

Long Chen checked into another hotel. He was also wondering why that person wanted to attack Ye Xuan. However, he was an outsider, so he naturally would not know why.

After being immersed in intense cultivation, the day of the tryouts for the Underworld Army had finally arrived. At dawn, Long Chen stepped onto the street and strode towards Ghost Arena on the eastern side of the city. A large crowd gathered outside the arena, some the kin of Underworld Soldiers and some younger folk who wanted to join. There were also parents and other friends, though most people were just there to spectate.

However, they were forbidden from watching the tryout process, so they were actually only there to enjoy the bustling atmosphere and see who would enter.
