Dragon-Blooded War God

Boom!

The crowd watched in shock as the Ancient Demon Corpse’s fist landed squarely on Long Chen’s chest!

The only thing Long Chen did was use the Dragon Soul Transformation. The blood-red scales had only just appeared and covered his abdomen when the Ancient Demon Corpse’s fist sank into his chest!

No one could survive a punch from the Ancient Demon Corpse like that!

Previously, Long Shan had been severely injured after blocking a punch from the Ancient Demon Corpse. Yet Long Chen had received the same punch squarely in the chest. The strength of it sent Long Chen flying. Blood sprayed out of his mouth and the sound of bones shattering in his chest could be heard!

Long Chen’s body tempering technique was merely the elementary King-tier True Martial Demon Body, which was far inferior to Zhao Danchen’s Golden Combat Body. Zhao Danchen might have been able to block the Ancient Demon Corpse’s punch, but Long Chen could not. That punch had almost killed him!

Loud cries of shock came from Martial Overlord City!

They did not expect Long Chen to not block the punch!

He never even attempted to block the Ancient Demon Corpse’s punch—only a true man could do such a thing!

There was a glimmer of respect in their eyes as they watched Long Chen fly through the air, though also pity. Long Chen was initially equal to Zhao Danchen in terms of strength, but now he had likely lost most of his combat abilities. Long Chen would not be able to fight Zhao Danchen now.

Merely holding Liu Yiyi hostage had allowed Zhao Danchen to make Long Chen withstand a punch so powerful that it sent him thirty meters back. After Long Chen tumbled several times, he finally shed off the momentum and leaped to his feet, forcing himself to be stable. He looked at Zhao Danchen coldly without a word. However, that glare evoked a hint of fear in the depths of Zhao Danchen’s heart.

It was as if an ancient, fierce beast was looking at him, not a human!

Thick blood flowed from the corner of Long Chen’s mouth, dyeing him red.

“Long Chen …” Liu Yiyi’s heart shattered after the punch. She felt like Long Chen was only lying to her when he said he could do it. How could he do anything under such circumstances? After just one punch, Long Chen was almost certainly going to lose!

“Zhao Danchen, you lowly scum! You’re a coward! You’re too afraid to fight him in a true battle, and you use such lowly tactics! Aren’t you afraid that the world will laugh at you?” Liu Yiyi screamed at him.

“Shut your mouth!” he shouted. Liu Yiyi was right. Zhao Danchen was indeed acting like a scumbag, so he could not hold his emotions back when he was provoked like this.

Many people were also pointing and talking about him in the city. A volcano of rage was building up in Zhao Danchen’s chest!

If there were no witnesses, Zhao Danchen could surely kill Long Chen by using Liu Yiyi as a hostage. However, he could not do the same outside Martial Overlord City. Zhao Danchen was also a proud person. After the Ancient Demon Corpse hurt Long Chen, the discussions that seemed to fill the whole world made him erupt with rage!

Right now, Long Chen was severely injured. Did he still need to use Liu Yiyi to threaten Long Chen?

He did not!

“Let’s see who is truly the stronger one today!” Zhao Danchen sneered and tossed Liu Yiyi hard to the ground. He glared at Long Chen furiously, and at the same time used the Ancient Demon Flag to control the Ancient Demon Corpse. He wanted the Ancient Demon Corpse to hold Liu Yiyi!

Long Chen had to die. After that, Zhao Danchen would make her understand who the strongest man in the Divine Martial Empire truly was, both in and outside the bedroom! Zhao Danchen was the king!

And Long Chen would forever be the person who lost to him!

“Long Chen, I was only playing with you just now. I didn’t expect you to not even withstand a punch from the Ancient Demon Corpse! However, just so you’ll give up, I’ll give you a chance to fight me!” Zhao Danchen said haughtily.

People who were less experienced might have believed that he was only just playing, but most people could see that his previous move had caused Long Chen to lose most of his combat abilities.

Physical toughness was not Long Chen’s strength after all.

Zhao Danchen had just let Liu Yiyi go, about to use the Ancient Demon Corpse to trap her. Long Chen was more than forty meters away.

While Zhao Danchen spoke, despite the blood on Long Chen’s mouth, Long Chen gave a smug smile.

Patience had finally given him the results he wanted.

Long Chen knew Zhao Danchen well. He had chosen not to retaliate because he was waiting for this moment. He knew that when Zhao Danchen was scoffed at by many people and looked down upon, he would choose to fight personally. Zhao Danchen’s pride would never waver, and impulse drowned out his logic when he was looked down on.

Long Chen had succeeded.

When Zhao Danchen let Liu Yiyi go and sent the Ancient Demon Corpse to trap her, Long Chen turned into a ray of blood-colored light and instantly arrived next to Zhao Danchen. He grabbed Liu Yiyi, then instantly left Zhao Danchen and the Ancient Demon Corpse’s attack range.

At the next moment, Liu Yiyi was in Long Chen’s arms, and they were more than twenty meters away.

The time between Long Chen getting injured and saving Liu Yiyi was very short—only about ten breaths. After he saved her, he put her down, then invisible ripples poured out of his chest. A strange power affected his body, bringing it back to its condition from ten breaths ago.

Ten breaths meant the time taken for ten inhales and exhales.

Rewinding time by ten breaths turned Long Chen’s condition back to before he was injured by the Ancient Demon Corpse.

Everything had happened in a very short time.

The crowd was stunned.

Long Chen was one to take huge gambles, though they were based on his careful analyses. Taking risks based on analysis was not truly considered gambling. He knew that Zhao Danchen would be unable to withstand the pressure from the gossip. As expected, he had let Liu Yiyi go.

As long as he did, Long Chen could save her.

He then used that opening to activate Rewind, healing his injuries and leaving him in perfect condition.

He had spent his one use of Rewind to save Liu Yiyi from Zhao Danchen. It was a very risky move, but it had worked.

Liu Yiyi was the only one present who was familiar with Rewind because he had also used it to save himself when he was escaping from the Ancient Demon Domain.

Everyone in Martial Overlord City was stunned.

They did not know what had happened in those few moments. The ripples caused by Rewind were small, but many saw the blood on the corner of his mouth flow back into his lips, and the sunken part of his chest puff back up.

Liu Yiyi was the closest and saw it in the most detail, so she was the most astonished. She also had not expected Long Chen to dash over and grab her. She stared at him in a daze.

“Yiyi, I’m going to fight him directly. I’m going to put you in a safe place now. After I kill him, I’ll let you out. Alright?” Long Chen quickly said.

Liu Yiyi had not recovered from her shock, so she nodded woodenly. Her trust in Long Chen had reached a blind stage. If he asked her to kill herself now, there was a chance she would agree.

Long Chen then put the shocked girl in the Primordial Realm!

From now on, he could fully focus on the battle!

Long Chen’s gaze fell on Zhao Danchen, meeting his foe’s furious, humiliated, and confused gaze!

“You … you recovered? Did you use a Life Combat Technique? It’s so powerful!” Zhao Danchen was first stunned, then his eyes shone with greed!

That life combat technique was terrifying!

Zhao Danchen had never seen one this powerful before!

He had never even heard of one that could do so much.

The two young masters of the Divine Martial Empire had a standoff!

The people in Martial Overlord City were still talking among themselves.

“How did Long Chen snatch that girl from Zhao Danchen just now?”

“Yeah! I couldn’t see it clearly, but he snatched her away. And where did he put her?”

“That’s so bizarre! Long Chen seems to have many secrets!”

“The even stranger thing is that Long Chen was clearly injured just now, and it looked very serious. Why does he look like he has returned to his previous state?”

No one could answer these questions.

However, they suddenly wondered if something bizarre was going to happen today.

For example, could Long Chen really kill Zhao Danchen?

Who would rule over the Divine Martial Empire next?

However, these were just postulations. Even though Long Chen could defeat Zhao Danchen, could he win when Zhao Danchen and the Ancient Demon Corpse fought together?

They did not know that there were still disadvantages to using the Ancient Demon Corpse. Zhao Danchen had to use the Ancient Demon Flag to control it, so one hand was occupied. And he had to focus on it too. This meant that Zhao Danchen could not fight Long Chen together with the Ancient Demon Corpse!

It was time for the final battle between the two young masters!

All sorts of emotions shone in Zhao Danchen’s eyes—greed, hatred, and more.

There was only one thing in Long Chen’s gaze: icy calm!
