Dragon Blooded War God

“I’m taking that jade shell. Didn’t you want an advanced King-tier technique? This is the Nine Earthquakes, an advanced King-tier combat technique. It’s much more powerful than that stupid Wind God Kick.”

Long Chen did not need to look to know who it was.

It was Situ Yu.

When Suyan heard Situ Yu’s voice, she looked displeased and quickly hid behind Long Chen, clutching the shell tightly. Then Situ Yu, escorted by a group of young elites from the Demon clan, walked over to Long Chen. Situ Yu chatted happily with them as if he was the gang's boss.

Afterwards, Situ Yu regarded both of them for a while, then he smiled and said, “I was just wondering who it was. So it’s Princess Suyan, and the legendary son-in-law of the clan leader.”

Long Chen squinted slightly when he sensed Situ Yu’s strength.

The rumors were true. Situ Yu has indeed reached the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage and is on the same level as Suxue. However, he has only just broken through, so his essence is not stable yet. After a short time, he will be able to fully utilize the power of the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage.

He would be fighting a Ninth Earthly Martial Stage expert in ten days. There would be a gap of two levels between them, and Situ Yu surely had many trump cards too. Long Chen knew that this would be troublesome. The outcome of the battle was uncertain.

It was very likely that Blood Sacrifice would be his only solution.

But Blood Sacrifice was the technique he least wanted to use, as it weakened him for a long time afterward. Despite healing after he consumed soul-nourishing herbs, his Martial Soul was not invincible. If he kept injuring it, it would break down no matter how much spiritual medicine he had access to.

It was best to use that insane technique as little as possible.

There were universal laws, and his Dragon Soul Transformation, which made him ten times stronger than a cultivator of the same level, was extraordinary enough. Blood Sacrifice could raise his cultivation by three levels in its final form, and with the addition of his Dragon Soul Transformation, his cultivation would be raised by four levels in total. If there were no limits to such powerful divine techniques, Long Chen would have long become a peerless existence.

If he used Blood Sacrifice in this duel, then his cultivation level would decrease significantly once more and his Martial Soul would be injured. Unless he had no other choice, Long Chen would not choose to use Blood Sacrifice.

The biggest reason he had arrived at this stage was because he had little fear in his heart. Despite knowing that his opponent had reached the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, he was not afraid.

Situ Yu did not rein in his aura, but rather let it radiate outwards without care. It was as if he wanted everyone to know that he had reached the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage.

The group of people stood in front of Long Chen and Suyan with grins on their faces, and they brazenly eyed Long Chen up and down with greed.

Long Chen’s Wind God Kick had not reached the cultivator’s hand yet, but Situ Yu had tossed an advanced King-tier technique at him. Humans were naturally greedy, so the cultivator naturally preferred the advanced King-tier technique over the Wind God Kick. However, he was not stupid and knew that he probably wouldn’t be able to make use of it.

Therefore, he held the advanced King-tier technique in his hands and observed the events unfold quietly.

Situ Yu clearly implied that he wanted to buy the shell. This was a greatly inappropriate move because Suyan had already discussed it with the cultivator, who had agreed to the trade.

But Situ Yu had interrupted them.

In terms of rankings within the Demon clan, Situ Yu ranked lower than Suyan. This meant that he was goading them, as he had not given them face at all.

“Situ Yu, what is the meaning of this? I bought it first …” Suyan’s initial reverence for Situ Yu had long turned into disgust and hatred.

Especially since he was about to fight Long Chen, the person she respected and loved the most.

After Situ Yu heard her, he chuckled and said, “Little Princess, you have misunderstood me. I would never dare take something that belongs to you. I saw that someone could not even take out an advanced King-tier combat technique and was worried he would embarrass the Demon clan. That’s why I bought the jade shell in place of that someone. Actually, it was so that I could give it to you, Princess Yan’er.”

The other teenagers burst into laughter.

“Yeah, Princess Yan’er. He is stingy even over an advanced King-tier combat technique. I would be embarrassed to stand next to him. How could a person like that be fit to be Princess Xue’er’s husband?”

“Nonsense! Who said he would become Princess Xue’er’s husband? Don’t you all know that Brother Situ is already a Ninth Earthly Martial Stage expert? He is ranked just below the elders in terms of strength! And Brother Situ is so young, plus he is one of the Demon clan’s disciples. Is there anyone more suitable than him for Princess Suxue?”

“Princess Yan’er, keep your jade shell safe. Once Brother Situ becomes your brother-in-law, he will buy you more stuff, unlike a certain poor guy!”

Their insults grew more and more ridiculous until even the mild-tempered Suyan’s eyes turned red from anger. These people were all looking down on Long Chen, so she looked at him anxiously, worried that he would be sad. However, she saw that he had a mild expression, as if the group of people did not even exist.

“Big Brother, don’t take their words to heart …”

“Who’s taking their words to heart? Silly girl …” Long Chen smiled in exasperation. He ruffled her hair and said, “Don’t get angry. There are many little dogs in this world who love to bark and bite for no reason. If they bite us, we can just bite them back! We should just let it go.”

Long Chen’s words made Suyan smile.

She nodded and said, “I know what to do.” Then she turned to Situ Yu and the others and said, “I was the one who wanted to buy the jade shell. It was not Big Brother who bought it for me. I was actually buying it to give it to my Big Brother!”

After that, she looked at the seller and took out a yellow manual from her Universe Pouch carefully. “This is a reward my father gave to me when I was ten. It is an advanced King-tier technique named the Wind Killing Nine Fingers. This is a technique my father got a long time ago, and I don’t use it anymore. I will trade this for your jade shell; what do you think?”

Suyan was being so sincere that the cultivator could only nod incessantly. He hurriedly took the manual, which held sentimental value to her.

Then he looked at the other manual in his hand with some panic. It was the manual Situ Yu had tossed at him.

“Give that to me.” Suyan took the manual, then tossed it in Situ Yu’s direction. Situ Yu had no choice but to catch it.

When the cultivator saw that it was no longer any of his business, he hurriedly bade Suyan farewell and rushed off immediately. He privately had a great impression of the polite girl, but as for Situ Yu, he was just acting like a prodigal son.

Due to the conflict between Situ Yu and Long Chen, the surrounding people stopped doing business and all turned to watch them, pointing fingers as they discussed.

Situ Yu was initially very arrogant and intended to humiliate Long Chen with his wealth. However, Suyan had voluntarily taken out an even more precious combat technique. This was a slap to Situ Yu’s face.

Plus, Suyan had intended to give the jade shell to Long Chen.

Suyan ignored all their gazes and placed the jade shell on Long Chen’s palm. She beamed a satisfied smile and said, “Big Brother, you’re always cultivating. I hope this will help you. I got this in exchange for a birthday present my father gave to me; you must keep it well.”

Looking at her solemn gaze, Long Chen nodded and said, “Don’t worry. It will always be by my side, even if I die.”

“That’s good!” Long Chen’s answer satisfied Suyan. She felt like she was but a humble figure, so the fact that a gift from her would forever remain by his side was enough for her.

The way they conversed as if no one else was around them made Situ Yu and his group’s faces turn sour. They all looked at each other, then at Situ Yu. Situ Yu had humiliated himself greatly again. Long Chen had not even reacted and left him standing there like a clown. He had won effortlessly.

Situ Yu’s face darkened. Looking at the intimate interaction between Long Chen and Suyan, the fire of jealousy burned brightly in his heart. He chuckled coldly and said, “Long Chen, don’t you get confused now. The Clan Leader said you will be marrying Princess Suxue and not Princess Suyan. With you two acting so intimately, are you not afraid of gossip?”

Long Chen looked up at the annoying Situ Yu, itching to hit him. His gaze darkened and he asked, “You are the great Sect Elder Situ Yao’s grandson, yet you utter such inappropriate words. Aren’t you afraid of making your grandfather lose face?”

Situ Yu hated Long Chen’s lack of fear the most. He was supposed to be much stronger than Long Chen, so why wasn’t Long Chen afraid of him? This made Situ Yu very impatient to prove himself to Long Chen.

He would only feel satisfied when this brat recognized how powerful he was!

“Long Chen, the duel is in ten days. Do you want to bring it forward to today?” Situ Yu smiled coldly.

Long Chen knew that the brat could not hold himself back any longer and wanted to beat Long Chen up. But was it that easy to beat him?

He smiled and said, “I don’t intend to.”

Then he turned to Suyan and said, “Yan’er, let’s go. The dogs here are very noisy. I don’t often get a chance to take a peaceful stroll, but what rotten luck it is to encounter these dogs.”

“Yeah, Big Brother. I hate them,” said Suyan with a giggle.
