Chapter 451 - Violet Savage Lion
After the middle-aged man gave the order, the cultivators of the Martial Alliance rubbed their fists and made their way towards Long Chen.
He was only at the Ninth River Stage, so they saw Long Chen as a mere weakling that they could kill at any time. Maybe they knew that he was not the one they were looking for, but it didn’t matter.
It was just bad luck that Long Chen shared the same name as a wanted person.
The job of the Martial Alliance didn’t stop. They had just singled Long Chen out, and the other people stared at him in fear. They lowered their heads, knowing that Long Chen was going to die soon. First was the brute and now Long Chen. They were afraid.
This was their first time at the Divine Martial Empire, and they had already received a reality check. They were the strongest people back home, but they were nothing but ants here.
This was what the Martial Alliance wanted to teach them. The first brute was an idiot, and Long Chen was just unlucky.
Everyone looked at what was unfolding with trepidation.
Long Chen was never someone who provoked others for no reason. “Everyone, I think you’re mistaking me for someone else. I’m from the Cangyang Kingdom, and I’m sure the Long Chen you want to hunt down is stronger than the Ninth River Stage. You don’t have to act now; why not just investigate? I am more than happy to cooperate. Think about it, isn’t it better to bring me back alive?”
“Heheh. No need to waste your breath. If our leader wants you dead, then you will die no matter what your name is!” The people from the Martial Alliance laughed before they attacked Long Chen. A cultivator at the Heavenly Passage Realm was not to be trifled with. Long Chen felt the air around them shattering while the pressure of a mountain rushed towards him.
Long Chen hasn’t tested how strong he was after absorbing a hundredth of the Inherited Blood Essence. He was now at the peak of the Heavenly River Realm.
“Demon Emperor Sword Technique, Supreme Demon Sword!” Long Chen had no choice but to fight back. The sword appeared in front of him and he swung it. The black Sword Qi pushed everyone back and gave him a lot of space.
“He even has a good sword! It’s at least at the intermediate Heaven-tier!” The people from the Martial Alliance looked at his sword greedily. The middle-aged man was surprised that Long Chen had not only pushed them back, he even had a good sword.
“Go and bring me that sword! I will give a pretty lady to whoever kills him!” The middle-aged man smiled.
“Yes, Boss!” Several people surrounded Long Chen. They thought they could easily kill him themselves and there was no need for so many people.
“Let me do it!” Someone at the Heavenly Passage Realm volunteered and ran towards Long Chen. The man was as powerful as the Sword Emperor, yet he was only a low-ranking member of the Martial Alliance.
There are two hundred of them here today but they are despicable. If I fight now, it might be difficult to live later on. Fine, I don’t have a choice since they are pushing me into a corner.
After absorbing a hundredth of the Inherited Blood Essence, Long Chen’s Dragon Soul Transformation was his strongest technique. When the enemy’s fist was close to him, he transformed, and the blood-red scales covered his body. Bone spikes protruded from his elbows, knees, and back. His claws were like knives that made him look very gnarly.
The illusions of roaring dragons appeared within his scales.
The others watched the helpless outsider transform into a killing machine. The scales, claws, and spikes were so gruesome that the witnesses felt their scalps go numb. More importantly, he radiated an ancient aura that made it hard for others to go against him. Even the person at the Second Passage Stage frowned when he saw Long Chen’s transformation.
“I've never seen a beast like that before.”
“He looks scary. It must be a lizard or worm that is related to blood.”
“Looks like he’s not weak at all. To think someone from the boonies would have such a frightening aura. What a surprise.”
The others looked on anxiously.
The people from the Martial Alliance stayed put. They knew Beast Soul Transformation would increase someone’s strength by several times, but how strong would a Ninth River Stage cultivator become?
The person who was approaching Long Chen stopped and smiled when he saw Long Chen’s transformation. “Is that your Beast Soul Transformation? I have one too. Behold, the Category Four Heaven-tier beast, Purple Savage Lion!”
He transformed too, his body growing larger and more muscular. Purple fur sprouted from his body, and his head changed into a lion’s head. His claws were even scarier than Long Chen’s.
Soon, his body grew larger than Long Chen's.
Long Chen chuckled when he saw the humanoid lion. Just then, the lion appeared in front of him in a flash. He swiped his large paw at Long Chen. Based on the sound, everyone was sure Long Chen would die if he got hit.
They thought Long Chen would dodge, but to their surprise, he was standing still, as if he had been scared stiff by the attack.
“He’s not dodging. Is he surprised?”
“Of course. The Purple Savage Lion is a Category Four Heaven-tier beast. I don’t know what kind of random beast the kid has, but it's normal to despair in front of absolute strength. He can only blame himself for meeting our boss when he’s in a bad mood.”
Everyone saw the paw hitting Long Chen’s head, and they instantly envisioned the explosion of viscera. Some of the people closed their eyes.
But what shocked everyone was that a loud sound rang out, and the lion stumbled backwards before falling to the ground.
The Beast Warrior shouted in pain when he fell back. He rolled on the ground and clutched his bloody paw. Everyone saw that his hand had been broken and was bleeding from numerous puncture wounds.
No one had thought that it would happen.
It was out of their expectations.
“How can his skull be so dense? What kind of beast does he have?” The middle-aged man stood up from his stool and looked at Long Chen with surprise. The others were looking at him too.
“Why is his body so strong? How was a Beast Warrior at the Heavenly Passage Realm pushed back?!”
Everyone was surprised.
But that was just the start. Long Chen glared at the man, then he disappeared. When he appeared once more, he was already holding the Beast Warrior in one hand. He threw the man down while kicking his knee up. The strong impact caused the spike on his knee to stab through the cultivator’s body. The man struggled and his body went limp on Long Chen’s knee.
Everyone exhaled and looked at Long Chen with shock.
A Ninth River Stage cultivator had killed someone at the First Passage Stage with ease. No one else was certain of Long Chen’s strength anymore.
Long Chen didn’t want to kill everyone, nor did he want to anger the Martial Alliance. That was just a warning. Everyone was looking at him when he said to the middle-aged man, “Let me tell you one last time. This is my first time here, and I’m not the person you are looking for. I don’t like trouble, but don’t blame me for acting in self-defense if you keep pressuring me.”
He had already shown his strength, and it was time to stop. He only needed to intimidate them.
But Long Chen had underestimated them. The middle-aged man was not intimated—he laughed instead. “What a joke. Do you think you’re strong? The Martial Alliance is a god in this land. No one has dared to attack the Martial Alliance before, but you sure are interesting. Still, you will die very soon in the Divine Martial Empire. Let me show you what death feels like now. Everyone, attack him at once. I will give two hundred Heavenly Passage Pills to whoever kills that brat!”
Everyone from the Martial Alliance cheered. Two hundred Heavenly passage Pills was a substantial sum of money for them. All of them ran towards Long Chen and blocked his escape path.
