Chapter 639 – The Ancient Demon Returns

“Long Chen ... Ah ... Ah ... Mercy! I’m begging you, let me go ... Ah!” This was the sound of Zhao Danchen bitterly begging for mercy!

His Golden Combat Body made it difficult for Long Chen to kill him. However, Long Chen had managed to suppress him to the point that he had no chance to fight back. Due to Long Chen’s consecutive attacks, his body was gradually damaged!

Another Nine Heavens Strike struck Zhao Danchen directly in the chest. Despite his Golden Combat Body, a large hole was blasted in his chest. Nine deep claw marks appeared, and blood poured out!

Zhao Danchen’s face grew even paler, and the fresh blood turned his clothes completely red!

Blood sprayed out of his mouth as well.

Everyone was frightened. Zhao Danchen was already on the edge of death, severely injured. All of this was caused by the blood-red teenager. The crowd looked at the blood-red figure flying in the air with fear in their hearts.

Who could’ve guessed that this wedding parade would lead to this?

The people on the Martial Alliance’s side had long been stunned with shock. If Zhao Danchen was no match for Long Chen, then the rest were not either. That was why no one acted to save Zhao Danchen for the moment. They all looked at the Demon Emperor, while a Martial King with higher rank said, “Demon Emperor, if you don’t save Martial Emperor Zhao, the whole Ancient Demon Domain will be done for!”

Jiang Wuxie was initially stunned by Long Chen too.

Now the Martial Alliance was pressuring him. They were right. If Zhao Danchen died here, the Martial Overlord would surely vent his anger on Jiang Wuxie.

“Hmph! He’s so powerful that even Martial Emperor Zhao is no match for him. If I go, it’ll be like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water,” the Demon Emperor muttered resentfully.

Long Chen was so strong that even Zhao Danchen was no match for him. He would never want to take this risk.

If the Martial Overlord got angry, then let him be angry. Ever since Long Shan appeared, the Martial Overlord was no longer the sole ruler of the Divine Martial Empire. Also, Jiang Wuxie had a trump card that he was holding close to his heart. After holding his anger in for so many years, his time would come soon.

“You!” The Martial King was furious, but he could not do anything about it.

Then Long Chen’s kick landed on Zhao Danchen’s abdomen. He rolled until he stopped in front of Jiang Wuxie. Zhao Danchen lay in a puddle of blood, and everyone could see that he was barely breathing. His body was covered in wounds and his breaths were very shallow; he was not far from death now.

The corner of Jiang Wuxie’s mouth spasmed when he saw Zhao Danchen in this state.

Zhao Danchen no longer had any combat ability left.

Jiang Wuxie looked up. The blood-red teenager was looking at him with amusement. “Demon Emperor, you tried to kill me when I was in the Ancient Demon Domain. Isn’t it time for us to settle the grudge between us?”

Jiang Wuya was shocked and took a few steps back. He faked a friendly tone and said, “Little Long, you’re overthinking it. You’re part of the Ancient Demon Domain. That previous conflict was just a misunderstanding, so let’s just laugh it off.”

“Misunderstanding? Alright. I’ll treat it as a misunderstanding too. Please move aside.” As he spoke, Long Chen walked towards Zhao Danchen.

Jiang Wuxie hesitated for a moment. If he moved, it would undeniably be humiliating for him. But if he did not, that showed that he wanted to help Zhao Danchen fight Long Chen. Jiang Wuxie knew his limits well, and he could never defeat Long Chen. That was why he chose to back off after a moment of hesitation, triggering whispers in the crowd.

News of Long Chen defeating Zhao Danchen and scaring the Demon Emperor into backing down would likely spread across the whole Divine Martial Empire.

Now the question of who the strongest cultivator beneath the Martial Overlord was was answered.

It was not Zhao Danchen, but Long Chen.

After Long Chen arrived by Zhao Danchen’s side, Zhao Danchen struggled to open his eyes and looked at Long Chen with fear.

He struggled to say, “... If ... if you dare kill me, my master will never let you go!”

“I wouldn’t dare kill you, of course!” Long Chen chuckled. Despite the grin, there was coldness in his eyes.

“Good!” Zhao Danchen sighed in relief.

Then Long Chen grabbed his right arm at lightning speed and tugged. Rip! He ripped Zhao Danchen’s whole arm off and tossed the bloody arm high up into the air, accompanied by Zhao Danchen’s scream of agony!

It was a bone-chilling scream.

The crowd felt a chill when they saw the violent scene. They looked at the teenager with fear in their eyes.

Zhao Danchen had ripped Jiang Wuya’s arm off. Long Chen had merely returned the favor.

Admittedly, his Golden Combat Body was extremely tough, so Long Chen had to use massive strength to rip the arm off.

However, Zhao Danchen’s most powerful attack, the Yellow Martial Seal, required both arms. Now that he had lost his right arm, his strength was greatly reduced. In addition to his injuries, he was now a cripple.

The once shining prodigy had been reduced to a cripple.

To Zhao Danchen, this was worse than death. At least death was clean, but living meant endless torture. From this moment on, mockery and contempt would accompany him for the rest of his life. His glorious life had been destroyed by Long Chen in just one day.

After his arm broke, Zhao Danchen was stunned. He stared at Long Chen, frozen, and forgot about his pain.

“Death is not the worst punishment. You broke my Second Brother’s arm, so I also broke your arm. This is the most merciful thing I can do for you. Zhao Danchen, enjoy being trash for the rest of your life,” mocked Long Chen.

This just was him performing psychological torture on Zhao Danchen.

If Long Chen did not kill him, Zhao Danchen would probably kill himself not long after. He had the Golden Combat Body, so killing him would require too much effort. Long Chen had another grudge to resolve, so he left Zhao Danchen hanging.

If he truly spent the effort to kill Zhao Danchen, Jiang Wuxie would likely take the chance run off.

Although Jiang Wuxie was his Second Brother’s biological brother, a grudge was a grudge. Long Chen was clear about this.

Whoosh! He appeared in front of Jiang Wuxie and said mildly, “Demon Emperor, it’s your turn.”

Jiang Wuxie knew Long Chen would never let him off.

His main base, the Ancient Demon Domain, was just behind him, and he had nowhere else to hide. He deeply regretted not killing Long Chen while he was still weak, or he would’ve be in such a difficult position.

It was a must for Long Chen to kill Zhao Danchen. On the other hand, there was a grudge between Jiang Wuxie and Long Chen because he had killed Jiang Wuxie’s son. If Long Chen did not kill him, Jiang Wuxie would still kill Long Chen sooner or later.

“Didn’t I say that everything between us was just a misunderstanding?” Jiang Wuxie said in a slightly ingratiating manner.

He knew he was no match for Long Chen.

“Your son was greedy for my demonic beast. I killed him, and then you almost killed me. Now you’re saying that the deep enmity between us is just a misunderstanding. Demon Emperor, don’t you think you’re being ridiculous?” Long Chen knew that he was a slippery coward, so he did not plan to give Jiang Wuxie a chance to argue.

Jiang Wuxie was an old fox. If he grew stronger, he would surely be a huge problem to Long Chen. Might as well kill him to prevent future problems.

When the Demon Emperor heard what Long Chen said, he knew that he was left with no room to argue.

He looked at Jiang Wuya with a begging look in his eyes.

Long Chen sighed. He knew the Demon Emperor would beg Jiang Wuya to save him.

As expected, Jiang Wuya took their blood relation into consideration. From far away, he said loudly to Long Chen, “Seventh Brother, would you let my older brother go for my sake? I’m sure he will repay this kindness and won’t trouble you again.”

In Long Chen’s eyes, Jiang Wuya was a senior worthy of his respect, so he listened to him. “Demon Emperor, I’ll let it go this time. If you cross me again, I won’t let you go.”

There was clear determination in his icy voice, which evoked fear in the Demon Emperor.

He was the great Domain Lord of the Ancient Demon Domain. He never cowered this pathetically even in front of the Martial Overlord.

The Martial Overlord probably would not attack him, but if he made Long Chen angry, Long Chen would not show mercy. Just like what had happened to Zhao Danchen.

Every time he saw the pitiful state Zhao Danchen was in, Jiang Wuya felt a chill in his heart.

Second Brother, I hope the kindness you’ve shown today gets this guy far. Now that Long Shan is out, the Divine Martial Empire is going to change. It’ll all depend on which side Jiang Wuxie takes then, Long Chen thought to himself.

There was no question that there would be a huge battle between the Dragon clan and the Martial Alliance over the Divine Martial Empire.

The time for the final battle had come.

The results of this battle would also determine who would get the Five Emperor Seals.

Both sides had part of the five, so who would win in the end?

At least today’s events had come to an end. After Long Chen let him go, Jiang Wuxie no longer regarded the people of the Martial Alliance and headed straight back into the Ancient Demon Domain.

Long Chen prepared to annihilate the whole Martial Alliance contingent.

Jiang Wuxie was successfully saved, and Liu Yiyi was successfully rescued. Everyone heaved sighs of relief.

That was when something strange happened.

On this day, the ground had shaken twice already. Now the ground shook violently once more, but much more vigorously this time, and it lasted for a while. Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what had just happened.

Long Chen also looked puzzled as he felt the vibrations in the ground.

What was going on?

The source of the vibrations seemed to be in the direction of the Ancient Demon Domain. Within the crowd, Jiang Wuya looked up, puzzled. Then he saw the ecstatic expression on his older brother’s face. Jiang Wuya froze, his expression changed, then he cried, “The Ancient Demon Corpse? Is it finally going to emerge after more than a century?”
