Chapter 34 (2/2)
Although she was sure that Long Chen would not be a match for Bai Shichen, she had this strange feeling that made her believe Long Chen would emerge victorious.
“Although you unintentionally caused my brother’s death, you have always been a huge hero in my heart……”
This matter had actually been forgotten by Long Chen. It was just Yang Lingqing who had always been remembering that.
When they were about six years old, Yang Lingqing was extremely playful, often leaving the Yang residence and going to the deep mountains to frolic. One day, she met a few wild wolves and it was then when Long Chen had shielded her and helped her to chase those wild wolves away.
Long Chen had been bitten full of wounds at that time, and as for Yang Lingqing, she had simply been scared out of her guts.
The both of them then returned to the Yang Family and Yang Lingqing cried non-stop. It was at this point that Yang Xueqing had a.s.sumed that Long Chen had brought Yang Lingqing out, so she furiously berated him.
Yang Lingqing had always blamed herself for this matter throughout the years.
“You have forgotten it but this is actually the third time you have stood in front of me and you have never once fallen……”
Looking at Long Chen’s figure, she felt as if she had returned to being six again while a scrawny figure held a sharpened rock and had a strenuous battle with a pack of wild wolves. No matter how many bites he received and while fresh blood was still constantly spilling out, he shed not a single tear!
As she thought on, Yang Lingqing felt extremely moved.
At this point Long Chen had given Bai Shichen a death stare. After the exchange of auras earlier between them, he had already probed and discovered that Bai Shichen was indeed much stronger than Bai Shiji. He might have even stepped half a foot into the eighth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm!
Bai Shichen stopped and looked at Long Chen with a rather shocked expression and said: “They all said you were in the fifth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm, but you had long ago entered the sixth level and have almost broken into the seventh. As expected, you have greatly concealed your strength but it’s just of this level and you still want to deal with me, who is close to eighth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm?”
Long Chen had to admit that this was indeed the toughest battle he had ever faced. Compared to the Underground Blood Lizard King from before, although its body was extremely huge and many times bigger, it wasn’t as difficult to deal with as Bai Shichen!
Bai Shichen had already spent over ten years cultivating and his talent had surpa.s.sed Bai Shiji. It wouldn’t be so easy for Long Chen to defeat him.
At this point, Bai Shichen stared l.u.s.tfully at Yang Lingqing and was momentarily fired up. He too, no longer had any time to fool around with Long Chen and immediately said: “I admit that you are indeed a troublesome opponent and all of my other skills apart from [Dark Heavenly Finger] are not able to deal with you. So……You just have to wait for your imminent death!”
The [Dark Heavenly Finger] again?
Long Chen raised his head and said: “I heard that you have trained your [Dark Heavenly Finger] to the second finger technique? Would you grant me the honor of seeing it?”
Bai Shichen stared blankly for a moment and immediately laughed: “I understand your intentions! You wish to die a glorious death in front of Yang Lingqing right? On account that you have some weight, I will make an effort to fulfill this dying wish of yours!”
[ED Note: “you have some weight”: You are a worthy opponent]
Yang Lingqing was also puzzled by Long Chen, not knowing what tricks he had up his sleeves.
[Dark Heavenly Finger] first finger technique, [Transformed Devil First Finger], was almost similar in strength to [Seal of the Ashened Dragon]. As for this second technique, how could Long Chen block it?
No matter how much she believed in Long Chen, at this point her heart raced wildly.
Thinking that soon he would finally have Yang Lingqing, Bai Shichen was indescribably excited.
He detachedly looked at Long Chen, who seemed to be unafraid of death, and gradually brought up the middle finger of his right hand. A stream of black color suddenly began revolving around it and an impressive aura was sent towards the surroundings!
The energy from this stream whistled loudly as it was revolving and rapidly grew more powerful. Almost an instant later, as if a huge spiral had appeared, Bai Shichen eyes turned cold. Looking at Long Chen one last time as he was about to use the second technique of [Dark Heavenly Finger], he actually saw Long Chen rapidly forming hand seals!
“Within a span of only ten odd days you have actually already learnt the [Seal of the Ashened Dragon]? I can’t keep you alive any longer!”
Thinking this, Bai Shichen unleashed the full might of the second technique of [Dark Heavenly Finger] and the black spiral grew even larger and a hurricane-like gust of wind had been released into the surroundings!
The tree branches and leaves all exploded into tiny pieces and the mud flew wildly in the air. With a shout, Bai Shichen sent this surging force charging towards Long Chen!
“[Dark Heavenly Finger], [Nine Orbits Yellow Spring]!”
[TL Note: Yellow Spring = Underworld. Ancient Chinese believed that the Heaven was black and the earth was yellow. Springs were on the ground, so they were called “yellow springs”. In Chinese culture, this term often refers to the underworld, a place where spirits of the dead live.]
Yang Lingqing’s face was drained of colour when confronted with such a whistling and devastating strike, but Long Chen’s expression remained unchanged!
He was not affected by this second finger technique, but just focused on completing his attack. What was different than before was that currently, his body had erupted with an even more intense aura.
Between his fingers, a total of nine faint red coloured auras had been traversing and with the completion of the seal there momentarily appeared to be nine Dragon G.o.ds that were being controlled by Long Chen!
Originally, Yang Lingqing had wanted Long Chen to quickly dodge but at this point she actually saw the faintly discernible images of nine blood red Dragon G.o.ds. She had seen this attack before. It was back when Yang Qingxuan had fought and used this strongest [Seal of the Dragons] technique of the Yang Family!
“[Seal of the High Profound Dragon]!”
