Chapter 6 (2/2)

The other black robed man seeing his partner die looked shocked at Long Chen, and without bothering about anything else, hurriedly jumped through the window. Long Chen had intended to give chase, and interrogate the man for his contractor, but right at this moment the door slammed open and Yang Zhan was there standing in the door, watching Long Chen who had a face dyed with blood and right beside him lay a corpse.

He momentarily frowned and then said: “You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you do not know what’s good for you, with just this little accomplishment, you already dare to kill people in the Rising Sun Inn, could it be that you don’t know Boss Qing of the inn and me are good friends?”

Long Chen ignored him, he turned around and released the rope on Xiao Huang’s body and said: “Xiao Huang, leave this place first, we’ll talk about it later.”

Of the two a.s.sa.s.sins one died and one escaped. Xiao Huang feeling astonished was looking at Long Chen, but Yang Zhan who had just entered the scene had an unkind gaze, so Xiao Huang was scared. Although he was worried about Long Chen’s safety, he understood he would not be of any use, so he quickly ran away, and started to look for a savior.

Being ignored by Long Chen, Yang Zhan’s face gradually twitched with anger.

Behind Yang Zhan, a lavishly dressed fatty looked at the mess of the blood scene, he turned white and then said: “This master seems to have gone a little overboard, creating such a sickening blood scene here, scaring away my customers. This business will surely take a huge loss now.”

Both of them joined together to rebuke, that scene they were making was only just to make things difficult for Long Chen. He who had just killed someone, at this point was filled with killing intent, with a gaze, he scared the Boss Qing into a retreat.

Right now he still did not wish to come into conflict with Yang Zhan, after all Yang Zhan was a fourth level Dragon Pulse Realm pract.i.tioner, and had studied many martial techniques, the him right now is still not Yang Zhan’s match, so he could only endure.

Even though Long Chen had already backed down, Yang Zhan was still angry.

He had since long ago thought of Long Chen as a nuisance, in the past he had grown accustomed to stepping on him, yet now this fellow actually had some power. Especially, after all the previous time when Long Chen hurt Chen Liu, he had swallowed down a bad taste afterwards. And now coupled with the old hate and this new anger, he looked at Long Chen and emitted killing intent.

“…… Previously even though you hurt Chen Liu, I had forgiven you, but today you once again ruined the reputation of the Yang family. It looks like I have to discipline you properly so that you start showing some respect, and stop carrying out misdeeds!”

After which, he walked several steps forward, and a huge aura pressed down on Long Chen.

“This fellow……So strong.”

The fourth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm was a might to be reckoned with, Yang Zhan’s both eyes flashed and then he pressed his aura on Long Chen, which felt as if a huge mountain. Long Chen was unexpectedly pushed back.

However the knife from earlier was still in his hand, and with the blood continuously dripping down from the knife, coupled with his ferocious gaze, it looked like he might be a match for Yang Zhan.

Seeing Long Chen like this, Yang Zhan got even angrier, he grinded his teeth and said: “What an idiot, you actually dare to face me off squarely, today if you do not kneel and beg me, don’t even think of leaving here alive!”

Long Chen did not reply, he was just staring at him coldly.

He knows, if Yang Zhan really pushes him too far, even at the cost of his life, he will definitely make his opponent pay the price.

Looking at the two who were about to fight, from Boss Qing’s back appeared a girl; her face turned pale, and then she retreated.

“Brother Zhan, don’t be like this, let’s leave here, shall we……”

Yang Zhan kept his Qi down, looked back at the girl, then back at Long Chen and then he warned: “Alright, I’ll let you live for another day, tomorrow morning, you will know how to write the death word.”

After which, he took the girl and then left.

Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and then the knife dropped onto the floor.

“Yang Zhan, this debt between us, has yet again increased, right now I almost broke through the third level of the Dragon Pulse Realm. When I become stronger than you, you will know how to write the death word……”

The ones who tried to kill him, had one dying, but he did not know what trouble the other one could still cause him. Since the mastermind had not been revealed, it was all just a mystery, right now this was not a good place to be, so Long Chen decided to leave.

Running down the stairs, he saw Xiao Huang’s worriedness from waiting for him.

After seeing that Long Chen was fine, only then he heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: “Young Master Chen, earlier when I ran down, there was a beautiful young guy who wanted me to pa.s.s this to you, he said you are worthy of his respect, but he had to attend to something so he left.

Long Chen was stumped, thinking of the guy with such an unfair beauty bestowed on him, and thinking of his melodious voice and stern face, he felt that it was rather amusing. He apprehensively took the martial technique scroll from Xiao Huang’s hands, opened it and looked over it. It actually had four big words on it which said [Celestial Core Technique].

“The guy said that this item is compatible with your [Falling Star Fist]. Seeing how you saved a child today, the fact that you are a good person, and also the fact that he did not need this item, so he decided to give this to you.”

Long Chen nodded his head, scrutinizing the [Celestial Core Technique].

“This is actually an intermediate Huang martial technique……”

“I had only saved a child, and this fellow actually gives me this [Celestial Core Technique], looks like his background isn’t simple. He shouldn’t be from Poplar Town, he’s probably a disciple from a big faction from another place.

“Oh well, today this meeting is because of fate, right now I urgently need these items, and giving me this now, if I ever see him again, I will repay his kindness.”

Long Chen smiled, told Xiao Huang to leave, and then went back to the Yang family residence.

“……Absorbing the celestial essence of the stars, incorporate them into the skin, bones, blood and flesh……Temper my body every day, endure it, and then one can achieve the body of a celestial core……While moving, be it sand or rocks, with a simple punch, I will be able to draw upon its strength……:”

“This [Celestial Core Technique], is actually cla.s.sified as a scripture, compared to a martial technique it is much more valuable.”

“The [Celestial Core Technique] has a total of two levels, the first being the Enlightened level and the second being the Mastery level. However, although this scripture is cryptic, I am still able to understand it. Tonight the starlight is resplendent, I have to make use of the starlight tonight, and practice the [Celestial Core Technique], if I will manage to master it, and any hit I unleash will be equivalent to using the power of an offensive martial technique! If I meet Yang Zhan again, I should also be able to evade his. .h.i.ts, and probably even have a fair fight!”

To Long Chen, this [Celestial Core Technique] was not difficult to understand. Under the l.u.s.ter of the starlight, he practiced seamlessly. After some time, it could be seen, that as the starlight from the sky had shone on him, his body, as if a falling star, was glistening with starlight.

Suddenly, Long Chen opened his eyes.

“The [Celestial Core Technique] is yet to be mastered, but after tonight’s hair raising fight, along with the nurture given to my body under the stars, adding on the mysterious jade pendant, my Qi has once again risen explosively. And right now, it will let me break through the third level of the Dragon Pulse Realm!”
