Dragon War God

Chapter 862 – Trapped Beast

There were two Sword Soul Stones, and Long Chen could only use one anyway. Both he and Wu Lian moved away at the same time, and grabbing one was enough.

Both of them had one Sword Soul Stone each.

Long Chen was about to stash it in the Primordial Realm when it suddenly erupted with a powerful sucking force. Both Sword Soul Stones suddenly collided to form a gigantic black hole, instantly swallowing Long Chen and Wu Lian.

“Long Chen!” Bai Lan gasped and shot towards him. However, to his despair, he did not arrive in time. In the blink of an eye, both Long Chen and Wu Lian had disappeared!

“What just happened?”

The three remaining people looked at each other.

Long Chen and Wu Lian had disappeared. What was going on?

Where had they gone?

The Long-Bearded Guest and Ancestor Jin were privately feeling smug. This meant that the woman had likely resigned from the fight for the Five Emperors’ treasure.

Bai Lan saw Long Chen as a close family member at this point, so he had wanted to protect him. However, Long Chen had disappeared together with Wu Lian in an unexpected turn of events. Even if they had been moved to a safe place, Long Chen would be killed by Wu Lian.

Is the kid still going to succumb to the fate of death? Bai Lan sighed in his heart.

When he thought about how sad his daughters would be when they heard of the child’s death, his mind became a mess. He remembered that Long Chen dreamt of going to the Royal Territories, and he had a feeling that the young man had a lot of responsibilities. Yet he was met with tragedy at this juncture.

They realized that the wooden house was not the end of the path, and the dim road extended far ahead. Not far away, Bone Demons were gradually waking up due to the commotion.

“Where have they gone?” asked Ancestor Jin.

“Who knows? The Five Emperors’ Secret Realm is a strange place. We should carry on. We don’t know when they’ll come out,” the Long-Bearded Guest responded, shrugging.

“You guys go first. I’ll wait here.” Bai Lan waved.

He was unwilling to give up.

Perhaps some miracle would happen.

Ancestor Jin and the Long-Bearded Guest glanced at each other. From their point of view, Bai Lan was a fool for prioritizing Long Chen over a chance to take the Five Emperors’ treasure for himself.

However, with only the two of them, they were not sure if they could survive the various dangers ahead.

And they did not know how long it would take to kill the countless Bone Demons that were awaiting them.

Therefore, they did not leave.

“In that case, we will wait here for a while too,” said Ancestor Jin.

They did not want to let Bai Lan reap the rewards of their hard work.

Bai Lan knew exactly what they were thinking. He chuckled coldly, then sat cross-legged to recover his essence.

Time passed gradually.

One day later, Ancestor Jin and the Long-Bearded Guest were running out of patience. The Five Emperors’ treasure was waiting for them. But before they could say something, Bai Lan stood up.

They had not emerged after a full day, so there was not much hope.

After living for so many years, Bai Lan had grown accustomed to death.

It’s truly a pity. He was such a talented, resilient young man. Bai Lan sighed, then he looked at the other two and said, “I apologize for making you two wait.”

“It doesn’t matter.” They were finally leaving. Both sighed in relief.

They did not want Bai Lan to benefit after they had killed off all the Bone Demons; that was why they had remained. They did not genuinely want to wait for Bai Lan.

Looking at the dim, yellow path, Bai Lan’s eyes filled with determination, and he embarked on the journey once more.

The Five Emperors’ treasure was everyone’s goal.

“Where is this place?” Long Chen rubbed his head and struggled to stand up. He looked around. Both the sky and the ground were gray, as if he had returned to the outside of the Black Bone Tower. However, it differed from before, because there was no thick sea of bones here. This space was not very huge, and gray mist lingered far away.

After a while, he recalled that he had grabbed the golden Sword Soul Stone, then he arrived here. The same thing had happened to Wu Lian!

But where had the Sword Soul Stone gone?

The moment he remembered this, he felt a blade of terrifying sword Qi flying at him!

“Who is it?!” Long Chen quickly turned around and used the Big Dipper Step. The snow-white sword Qi swooshed behind him, leaving a deep, red gash on his scaly back!

Long Chen drew in a sharp breath. His back burned with pain. He had not been hurt by a sword like this in a long time!

Although the wound hurt, it was not fatal.

The cut was quite, but it was not bleeding. The muscles on his back wriggled quickly. It would soon heal completely.

Long Chen’s body had merged with one-hundredth of the ancestral dragon blood, so his life force was no joke.

People who could use life techniques to heal were not as powerful as he was.

He quickly turned and saw Wu Lian standing in front of him. A gentle breeze blew through the gray world, and her white robes flapped loudly. Her face veil lifted slightly, revealing half of her cheek.

I’m done for! I don’t know where the Sword Soul Stone has gone, but I have been brought here. Do I need to defeat Wu Lian in order to keep the Sword Soul Stone or get out of this place?

Long Chen cursed that person who had brought him here countless times, but that was useless. The most important thing now was to stay alive!

This woman had been waiting for a chance like this one. Would she ever show mercy?

That first attack was vicious. If he had not dodged her, he would have been cut in half.

“Long Chen ...” Wu Lian approached him slowly. A Second Heavenly Martial Stage expert’s domain exerted pressure on Long Chen. It was much stronger than the domain of a First Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator, and it exerted much greater force on him!

“I can’t believe that the heavens have decided to help. You are fated to die. I will not hold back.” She raised the White Lotus Sword gently, gazing at him with contempt. The gentle breeze exposed the skin around her sleeve.

“You must have many secrets, to be able to achieve your current level. If it was just the Martial God Tombstone, you would not have improved so quickly. However, from today onwards, everything you own will be mine ...”

“Have you been eyeing my stuff?” Long Chen thought she merely wanted to avenge her son.

“Less of that nonsense. We are trapped here. Killing you is probably the only way I can get out. If I take too long, someone else will get the Five Emperors’ treasures, and that will not be worth it.”

He could not see her face, as it was covered by her veil, but her voice was emotionless.

“It’s a pity. You are a talented youth of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. However, not only did you not join my clan, you also killed my son. What a pity.”

“That’s your son’s fault for offending me. If he hadn’t, I would’ve had no reason to kill him,” said Long Chen with a cold smirk.

His mind was racing for ideas.

How can I get out of this place? I don’t think it’s as simple as killing Wu Lian. Besides, how would I kill her when there’s an insurmountable gap between us?

Blood Sacrifice?

He was just one step away from the Heavenly Martial Realm. Unless he had no other solution, he did not want to use Blood Sacrifice. As for Blood Warp, that was not possible. This place was narrow, and he could not run anywhere.

This is troublesome!

I refuse to believe that Wu Lian is that strong! Let me try and see how strong a Second Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator truly is!

With that thought, Long Chen’s eyes turned blood-red.

Ever since he came to the Five Emperors’ Secret Realm, he had not deactivated his Dragon Soul Transformation because he was constantly in battle!

“My son, I will now kill your enemy and send him to hell!”

Wu Lian laughed at the sky, then her body flickered and she immediately pounced on Long Chen!

What a quick and vicious attack!

Long Chen gasped!

“Five Seals Combination!”

Long Chen unleashed the five Emperor Seals consecutively in an instant, and a large, five-colored palm appeared. Under Long Chen’s control, it flew menacingly at her!

The wind blew violently and space trembled. Pebbles and sand flew into the air!

“Domain!”

There was a flash of shock in Wu Lian’s eyes, but it quickly turned into endless iciness and endless sword Qi churned around her.

The moment Wu Lian released her domain, the surge of energy exerted a huge force on Long Chen. Long Chen’s combat technique was weakened significantly, and he estimated that his Five Seals Combination was at least weakened by a quarter!

The domain of a Second Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator was just that powerful!

“Far-Reaching Sword Qi!”

Wu Lian swung her White Lotus Sword horizontally. A blade of shining sword Qi flew towards Long Chen’s Five Seals Combination!

The shining sword Qi lit up the whole world!

The blinding light filled Long Chen’s field of vision.

I’m finished!

Long Chen injected more essence into his Five Seals Combination, and it collided with the Far-Reaching Sword Qi. A destructive blow hit him!

What a powerful woman!

The unforgiving sword technique directly forced Long Chen back. Countless rays of sword Qi split off from the initial attack, passed through the Emperor Seals, then cut Long Chen’s body. In just a short time, he was completely drenched in blood!
