Chapter 635: Challenging Zhao Danchen
From the time they left Martial Alliance’s Martial Overlord City, Long Chen and the others traveled for seven days and seven nights to get here. If they were just a little later, Jiang Wuya would be dead by now.
Long Shan’s powerful punch had forced Zhao Danchen away. Liu Yiyi and the Clear Shallows King came to Long Chen’s side. Theoretically, Long Chen’s objective for coming to the Ancient Demon Domain had been fulfilled, but after he saw that Jiang Wuya had lost an arm, his eyes turned blood-red.
The smile on his face froze and Long Yue’s face also turned icy. They did not answer Jian Chen’s question but quickly went up to Jiang Wuya.
Liu Yiyi and the Clear Shallows King’s expressions were stiff when they saw Long Yue and Long Chen. Long Yue was considered the Clear Shallows King’s love rival, so it was awkward, and Long Chen was the person Liu Yiyi yearned to see. Ever since he left, she had never seen him again. She could only learn about him through informants.
All the information she had received was undeniably shocking. Ever since he killed the Void Martial Saint, his performance had been more and more extraordinary. In just a short month, he had risen to become an unprecedented prodigy in the Divine Martial Empire!
The bloody wound where Jiang Wuya lost his arm was a jarring sight.
“Second Brother, did Zhao Danchen do this?” Long Chen’s voice was cold. The others felt like they had fallen into a freezer. It was clear just how furious he was.
Long Chen saw every member of the Dragon clan as a sibling, and he would never allow anyone to hurt them. These people were off limits.
He lost an arm!
He lost an arm!This meant that from today onwards, Jiang Wuya’s combat abilities would be greatly affected. He would likely become the weakest member of the Dragon clan.
This was a huge blow to a man!
Long Yue was initially already awkward in front of the Clear Shallows King and Liu Yiyi. When Long Chen asked about the topic that made her angry, she knew to shut her mouth.
Looking at Long Chen’s reddening eyes, Jiang Wuya still hadn’t gotten over the shock of learning that they had escaped the Nine Spirit Purgatory. But then he saw determination in Long Chen’s eyes.
So he nodded.
That fucking bastard! How dare he touch my brother! You broke his arm, so I will break your whole body! Long Chen cursed in his heart.
After Jiang Wuya nodded, Long Chen did not speak. Everyone watched as he walked in Zhao Danchen’s direction.
“Seventh Brother, what are you doing?” Long Yue asked hurriedly.
“Killing someone.”
“Killing someone?” Long Yue froze. She knew how strong Zhao Danchen was; even she was no match for him. However, she did not know Long Chen’s limits, and it was possible that he could actually beat Zhao Danchen. Also, with Long Chen’s personality, it was difficult for other people to persuade him otherwise when he had already made a decision.
Plus, with Long Shan here, Long Chen could be saved if he Zhao Danchen proved to be too much to handle.
However, Jiang Wuya had intimate knowledge of Zhao Danchen’s strength. When he saw that Long Chen was acting rashly, he panicked and shouted, “Seventh Brother, don’t go! You’re no match for him! His Golden Combat Body is far stronger than you can imagine!”
This was a warning that came from the depths of his heart.
The Golden Combat Body was his nightmare. In front of it, he felt like a helpless child.
“Long Chen, don’t go …” muttered Liu Yiyi, who was also worried.
But Long Chen had only glanced at her for a moment before his attention was attracted to Jiang Wuya’s broken arm.
Liu Yiyi felt like this was enough.
She knew that Long Chen still cared about her. There was just not enough time to talk sometimes.
When he heard their warnings, Long Chen only paused for a moment. Then, without turning around, he continued to walk towards Zhao Danchen.
In the beginning, Zhao Danchen was watching these people in shock and hesitation.
Now he finally understood what the thin old man had said. The old man was from the Divine Martial Empire. He had only been in hiding, and he was a strong master that even Zhao Wuji did not know about.
“This is going to be difficult …” Zhao Danchen’s brows were furrowed. If that old man wanted to attack him, then he would surely die.
That was why he was worried.
Even without the old man, if the two Long Chens and Long Yue worked together, Zhao Danchen would not survive against three people with Third Earthly Martial Stage strength.
Jiang Wuxie, who was behind him, could only block Long Yue at most.
“Demon Emperor, do you know who that old man is?” Zhao Danchen’s face was pale. Long Shan’s punch had scared him.
Feeling obligated, the Demon Emperor stood by Zhao Danchen’s side.
“I don’t know him. Could he be related to the Long family? The Long family was once the Divine Martial Empire’s number one family.” The Demon Emperor was also shocked. No one would have expected this.
“If he attacks, both of us will die. What should we do?” asked Zhao Danchen.
“I don’t think he will. Martial Emperor Zhao, you are the direct disciple of the Martial Overlord. Since he is in the Divine Martial Empire, he would not want to offend a person like the Martial Overlord. No matter how strong he is, he still isn’t a match for the Martial Overlord, right?” the Demon Emperor said confidently.
That was true too.
Although Long Shan’s punch was powerful, it still did not give Zhao Danchen the same feeling of fear as the Martial Overlord’s attacks. People who merely saw the Martial Overlord from afar often thought that he was an elegant scholar. Only those who truly interacted with him knew. The better they knew him, the more terrifying and darker he seemed.
Long Shan did not move, but surprisingly, Long Chen walked over to Zhao Danchen. When Zhao Danchen saw the expression on Long Chen’s face, he said with surprise, “Demon Emperor, will this brat really be my nightmare like Jiang Wuya said? What is the meaning of this? Is he challenging me to take revenge for breaking Jiang Wuya’s arm?”
The Demon Emperor said resignedly, “Based on the look on that brat’s face, I think that’s what it is. He only left the Ancient Demon Domain one or two months ago, yet he has already reached this level. However, he is terribly far from Martial Emperor Zhao’s level. He’s just a violent brickhead who is arrogant because he thinks he has some capability. He does not know how much depth a true expert has.”
Long Chen stepped twenty meters away from Zhao Danchen in front of countless eyes.
It had been more than a month since they last met. Zhao Danchen was still just as annoying.
When he saw the evil grin on Zhao Danchen’s face, Long Chen could not wait to beat his face to a pulp!
“What is he doing? He walked up to Martial Emperor Zhao Danchen alone. Is he challenging him? What a joke. An example was made out of Jiang Wuya just now. Even the older generation is no match for Martial Emperor Zhao. Does he really think he is on Martial Emperor Zhao’s level?”
Zhao Danchen was a legend in the Divine Martial Empire.
Despite the countless conversations, Long Chen’s face did not change. Thick killing intent radiated from his body and wisps of blood-red mist appeared around him. The violent aura made the audience take him seriously for the first time. He had killed Yang Ningfeng, so he actually had the right to be compared to Zhao Danchen. However, Zhao Danchen’s performance just now was just too powerful. That was why they did not think that Long Chen was a match for him.
“Long Chen, what is the meaning of this? I, Zhao Danchen, am receiving my wife today, but you guys came here to cause trouble. Are you challenging the Martial Alliance? If you want to declare war against the Martial Alliance, you can go to the Martial Overlord with a formal challenge. Don’t sneak up here; you’ll make me look down on you guys!” Zhao Danchen said loudly.
If Long Shan attacked, then they would be bullying the weak.
Zhao Danchen wanted to use his words to stop Long Shan from acting.
However, his words could not stop Long Chen. Long Chen lifted his hand and pointed at Zhao Danchen. Under countless gazes, he said slowly and coldly, “Zhao Danchen! If you are a man, stop talking nonsense! I’ll be direct—you broke my Second Brother’s arm. I’ve always been a person who repays kindness ten times over. Since you’ve shown my Second Brother this act of kindness, I will repay you a hundred times over. Do you have the guts to accept it?”
Do you have the guts to accept it?
Long Chen’s powerful voice traveled far and wide. His question even echoed above Yellow Martial City. It even lured many people who were still indoors out of their homes.
“Zhao Danchen?”
“Broken arm?”
More people ran outside to watch.
Zhao Danchen was a person of great reputation in the Divine Martial Empire, while Long Chen was just a newcomer. Long Chen’s challenge left Zhao Danchen no room to refuse.
“You want to fight me? Just you?” Zhao Danchen froze, then his dark expression turned into a burst of laughter. “Just you, Long Chen? Do I have the guts to accept it? Are you kidding me? I, Zhao Danchen, have never been one to talk nonsense …”
Zhao Danchen was afraid of the old man, but not of Long Chen. Long Chen’s open challenge to him also challenged his rank.
Jiang Wuya’s words were still clearly etched in Zhao Danchen’s mind.
Jiang Wuya had said that Zhao Danchen was no match for Long Chen. Now Long Chen was here. Although he did not know how Long Chen had escaped the Nine Spirit Purgatory, Zhao Danchen could not swallow his anger.
He had never been looked down on by another person in his life. No one had ever said that he was not as good as another youth his age.
These two people had finally met.
When the Demon Emperor saw that he was not involved, he stepped back, leaving space for Long Chen and Zhao Danchen.
