Dragon War God

Chapter 528 - Seven Days, Seven Nights

The sound of his laughter was even more bone-chilling.

Long Chen was ready for his last fight.

Long Chen mustered up the courage to say, suppressing the trembling in his voice, “Greetings, Demon Emperor.”

Then Jiang Wuxie’s laughter stopped. His eyes, which were as dark as the abyss, were fixed on Long Chen, and his lips moved slightly as he said, “You have killed the tiger’s cub, yet you dare enter the tiger’s lair?”

Long Chen’s world shattered!

More specifically, he had lost all hope. The Demon Emperor had found out that Long Chen had murdered his son. He definitely knew, or he would not have said such a thing!

Death!

Long Chen knew that if he did not react, only death awaited him!

At this critical moment, Long Chen only thought of one divine technique!

Blood Warp!

Everyone was still kneeling, and since Jiang Wuxie had not told them to rise, no one dared rise. However, they could still look up to see what was going on. Under normal circumstances, Jiang Wuxie would have asked them to rise by now!

They all looked up and saw Jiang Wuxie standing in front of Long Chen. Although his voice was not loud, everyone could hear him very clearly.

“You have killed the tiger’s cub, yet you dare enter the tiger’s lair?”

The Ancient Demon Domain was clearly the tiger’s lair, and the only cub that had been killed was Jiang Wucheng. Did that mean that Long Chen had killed Jiang Wucheng?

This was earth-shattering news to many people.

It was shocking.

If the Demon Emperor had said it, then it had to be the truth. He would not place false blame on Long Chen!

Long Chen had thought about saying that he had found Jiang Cheng’s body by chance and took the gold identity token, but a small trick like that would definitely not work on a powerful master like the Demon Emperor!

That was why his only choice was to run!

Before anyone could react, Long Chen suddenly turned into a blood arrow and disappeared from sight. The blood-colored light headed towards the exit of the fourth layer of the Demon World. Long Chen had memorized the path and knew that as long as he reached the second layer, he would be able to use Blood Warp again to return to the first instantly. After that, he would leave Demon World Mountain and subsequently the Ancient Demon Domain!

Using Blood Warp in stages was the only way!

He did not know whether this plan would work, seeing as this person was surely not only at the First Earthly Martial Stage. Perhaps he was far beyond it, and perhaps Long Chen would never be able to move as fast as him, even with Blood Warp!

Long Chen had guessed right this time!

Before he arrived at the pathway to the second layer, someone was blocking his path. It was Jiang Wuxie! With him blocking the way out, Long Chen wouldn’t be able to pass even if he had a million tricks up his sleeve. If he forced his way through, he would die, so he had no choice but to stop.

Since he could not escape, he hoped there would be another chance. Didn’t everyone think Jiang Wucheng was useless? A lofty figure like Jiang Wuxie surely wouldn’t value a useless son, right?

That was why Long Chen stopped and stood thirty meters away from Jiang Wuxie.

After he stopped, the seven Demon Kings, Jiang Wushang, the Grand Elders, and the twenty-eight Demon Generals quickly arrived and completely surrounded Long Chen. Even if Long Chen had wings, he would find it difficult to escape.

“You brat! You’re bold! You killed my son and dared to use his golden identity token to enter the Ancient Demon Domain to spread lies! Who the hell are you?”

Jiang Wuxie’s voice pushed Long Chen several steps back, making him turn pale.

He’s so strong! Long Chen had to admit that Jiang Wuxie was just too strong. And he was slower than him even with Blood Warp!

Was he going to die?

Long Chen was unwilling to die. There were many things that he hadn’t accomplished yet, so there was no way he could die in a place like this! If he had known that Jiang Cheng was Jiang Wucheng, he never would have come to the Ancient Demon Domain!

What now?

Long Chen’s mind was a mess, and his eyes slowly turned blood-red. Killing Qi slowly emanated from his body.

After hearing what the Demon Emperor said, the other people had more or less figured out the situation. Only the Clear Shallows King had a relationship with Long Chen out of the seven Demon Kings, and just now, he had been the pride of the Clear Shallows Pavilion, an object of admiration! How had it come to this in the blink of an eye?

The Clear Shallows King was completely stunned, while Liu Yiyi’s face was covered in tears. The hero she worshiped had fallen to such a state in his shining moment. It was a huge blow to her.

“Mother, what now? If what the Demon Emperor said is true, then he will die! What do we do ...” muttered Liu Yiyi, as if she had lost her soul.

“I don’t know either, child. I can’t do anything either ... Who knew it would come to this? His real name is not Jiang Cheng, and I’m guessing he does not have a golden identity token. He must have taken Prince Wucheng’s token after he killed him. He probably didn’t even know that he had killed Prince Wucheng.”

The Clear Shallows King was helpless. He was an extraordinary prodigy; was he going to die just like that?

“How could this be? How could anything be this coincidental? Wouldn’t he be fine if he never came to the Ancient Demon Domain ... Sob sob ...” Liu Yiyi’s heart broke when she saw so many people surrounding the helpless teenager.

“Yiyi, shut your mouth. Do you want to die too? He killed the son of the Demon Emperor, so he is our enemy! You must know where you stand; don’t say things that will make other people come looking for trouble! The Red Ghost King can’t wait to see us die! What we need to do now is draw a clear line between us and him! Don’t blame me for being cruel; we cannot do anything to help him, alright?” said the Clear Shallows King helplessly.

“Must we do that ... Is there really no way to help him?” Liu Yiyi asked woodenly.

After more than two months of knowing each other, Long Chen was deeply etched in her mind. Was he going to die just like that?

She was experiencing heartbreak for the first time.

In contrast to her heartbreak, more people felt schadenfreude. This was their chance to turn the tides! It was a joyous surprise. The Red Ghost King felt exactly this way. His favorite disciple, Ying Shaotian, had been killed by Long Chen. He thought he would never be able to get revenge; how would he have guessed that the heavens would give him an opportunity like this?

Jiang Cheng wasn’t Jiang Cheng? And he was the person who had killed Jiang Wucheng?

The Red Ghost King knew that Jiang Wuxie valued his children. Of course, Jiang Wucheng was useless and wasn’t likable, plus Jiang Wuxie never cared about him and even chased him out of the palace. However, they were related by blood.

Jiang Wuxie had a great reputation uphold. His son had been killed by a minor figure! If he did not act, would he not lose face if this got out?

The Red Ghost King looked overjoyed.

Long Chen was under great pressure.

At this moment, Jiang Wushang reached Jiang Wuxie’s side. With his brows tightly furrowed, he asked, “Father, how should we deal with him? Shall I do it? I thought he would make a good subordinate, but since he is an enemy of the Jiang clan, I have no use for him anymore. He is very talented, so we mustn’t let him leave. If this prodigy with inhuman talent leaves this place alive, the Jiang family will be in deep trouble one day!”

Jiang Wushang’s gaze started to change. In the beginning, he appreciated Long Chen for his talent, so he was friendly. He had evaluated Long Chen’s talent highly. Now, however, since Long Chen could no longer be used, he had to be killed as soon as possible!

Long Chen’s gaze turned sharp and his breathing turned ragged. Jiang Wushang was a practical person, and he had a certain amount of maturity as the Demon Emperor’s son.

If Long Chen could not be used by him, then he had to be killed!

This was Jiang Wushang’s principle.

“Father, let me do it. Let’s not kill a chicken with a cow butcher’s knife. Since he’s part of my generation, let me do it,” said Jiang Wushang.

The Demon Emperor had not spoken yet. After what Jiang Wushang said, he finally nodded.

He agreed with Jiang Wushang. The Demon Emperor had spent a lot of time looking for the murderer, and now he realized that the culprit had been right under his nose all along. Although Long Chen was talented, he was a weakling compared to him. He did not care about this very much as he knew that after resolving this matter, the knot in his heart would be gone.

The Red Ghost King took a step forward and knelt in front of the Demon Emperor. “Demon Emperor, this brat killed my disciple just now; there is an unresolvable grudge between us. I cannot wait to skin him alive! Please let me do it ... This boy does not respect the Ancient Demon Domain, so we cannot kill him too quickly. I have a Red Ghost Worm! If we put the worm into his body, it will consume his internal organs, forcing him to remain conscious. He will only die after seven days and seven nights!” The worm would chew on his organs for seven days and seven nights without him being able to retaliate. And he would be conscious the whole time. Only the Red Ghost King could think of such a cruel punishment.

This would create a much deeper impression than just killing Long Chen.

Jiang Wushang wanted to deliver the killing blow himself, but the Red Ghost King had knelt down with longing in his eyes, plus he had suggested using the Red Ghost Worm. Therefore, he nodded and said, “Alright, then. You do it. Remember, you must succeed, or I will make you kill yourself.”

His words had determined Long Chen’s fate.

Long Chen drew a sharp breath.

At least the Red Ghost King had wanted to kill Long Chen since the beginning. Jiang Wushang had been very friendly, but now he was crueler than the Red Ghost King. If Jiang Wushang was like that, then Jiang Wuxie, who was guarding the exit, was sure to be worse.
