Having sent Lei Qianshang flying with a single kick, that person laughed loudly. His suppressed anger was finally being released.
“You’re asking for it!” Lei Qianshang glared furiously at that person.
“You dare glare at me? Go fuck yourself!” Seeing that Lei Qianshang still cursed at them, over ten others all charged over to beat him. Last time, he had charged into the Heaven Earth Faction on his own and given almost everyone at least a couple of broken bones, completely humiliating them.
Now that there was an opportunity to get revenge, they swarmed over him, pummelling both Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin.
The two of them were heavily wounded, and Long Chen had already exhausted their spiritual qi. They were completely powerless against these outer disciples who they ordinarily could have defeated with a swat of their hands.
“Brothers, release all the suffering and humiliation you’ve had to endure. You don’t need to bother with the flags. Repay them ten times the humiliation they’ve made you suffer. Beat them to death for me; ah wait, at least leave them with a breath.” Long Chen remembered not to kill them at that last moment.
Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu’s people swarmed over and crazily began to beat the two of them.
As for the opposing alliance, they were still dumbfounded by Long Chen’s strength. Other than the core disciples who were still fighting, the others were horrified, unsure whether they should charge forward or directly flee.
Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu’s people crazily released all the anger they had been suppressed within them. But even in their fury, they still didn’t forget themselves entirely. No one hit any vital points.
And so most of their beatings ended up on their limbs in order to avoid killing them. Even Guo Ran had come to viciously stamp his feet a few times. However, he was then pulled out of the way by others. His flag case got in the way of too many people.
As for the first core disciple Long Chen had beaten, he saw what was happening to the two of them and blessed his luck.
Although Long Chen’s attack had been strong, he was still able to fight. But now he acted too weak to get up.
That might be a bit embarrassing, but it was much better than the fates of Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin. Thinking about it for a moment, he just directly collapsed and pretended to have fainted.
What was happening over here gave Gu Yang a shock, and while he wanted to go help, Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu refused to let him get by.
Although it was impossible for the two of them to defeat him, they had more than enough power to block him temporarily. A surge of morale filled them when they saw Long Chen’s amazing power.
“Long Chen, I’ll kill you!” Gu Yang roared furiously. All his tattooed runes lit up and his aura exploded.
Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin were his allies, his left and right hands. Their disgrace was a humiliation for himself.
If he couldn’t reverse the situation, his fame would be tarnished. He no longer reserved anything, exploding out with his full force as he punched Tang Wan-er.
Tang Wan-er’s wind blades were destroyed by that powerful punch, and there was still enough force behind his fist for it to ruthlessly arrive right in front of her face.
“Ice Crystal Shield!” A huge ice wall appeared in front of Tang Wan-er, blocking Gu Yang’s fist. It also shattered when it met Gu Yang’s fist.
In just that brief moment, Tang Wan-er had already withdrawn enough to once more summon her wind blades, sending them out to attack him.
Both of them were actually shocked at how powerful Gu Yang really was. This was the first time he had fought with such strength.
The two of them pulled out all their power to block him, not letting him pass. Victory or defeat would be decided by whether they could hold him back.
That was because Long Chen had already achieved an absolute superiority on his side. As long as they could hold on, victory would be theirs.
But the current Gu Yang was now like a crazy lion, constantly raining sharp attacks on them. Their wind and ice blades were constantly being destroyed, and it took everything they had to hold him back.
Long Chen looked at the incense stick and saw that everything had occurred too quickly. It had only burned down to the halfway mark.
Seeing that Song Mingyuan’s side was also doing fine, he decided to directly charge into the opposing alliance, aiming for one of the flagbearers.
“Stop him!” That flagbearer was horrified and hastily shouted at everyone to protect him while he fled.
Unfortunately, he had really overestimated his comrades. After seeing two powerful experts like Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin be defeated so easily, none of them had any hope of stopping such a monster.
That flagbearer’s shout actually immediately caused everyone to flee away from him, leaving only him standing in his original position.
That flagbearer was struck dumb, quiveringly looking at Long Chen with fear.
“Senior Long, please don’t hit me! I’ll hand over the flags!” That person wasn’t stupid. Seeing everyone had left him, how could he possibly face off against Long Chen?
And now that everyone had fled, it wasn’t like they could blame him for handing over the flags.
In any case, it wasn’t as if their core disciples could drive all of them out of their factions. They were all elite disciples, the best they could obtain.
Long Chen was expressionless as he grabbed that person.
Frightened out of his mind, that person babbled, “Please spare me! Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!”
The first thing that had popped into his mind wasn’t that he would be defeated, but that he would be killed. That was because that scene of Long Chen killing those traitors was forever imprinted in his mind.
“AH!”
That person let out a startled cry as he was suddenly thrown into the air by Long Chen.
He tumbled a couple of times and crawled up, realizing he was in front of the stunned Guo Ran.
That person celebrated that he hadn’t been killed and respectfully held out his flags to Guo Ran. Guo Ran was delighted; who would have thought that someone would just hand over the flags to him like this?
But he was just about to take them when he suddenly remembered what Long Chen had told him in the beginning. His expression changed and he raged, “What kind of attitude is this? Kneel and raise them above your head in offering. Did you never learn any manners?
“You tormented us for that long; not crushing all your bones is already enough restraint on our parts.
“Do you believe me when I say I’ll call all my brothers over and beat your head into a completely new shape?”
That person turned to look at the people fiendishly glaring at him and sighed. He went down on his knees and raised the flags high above his head.
“Please kindly accept my offering.”
Guo Ran’s smile really was about to start blooming flowers now. After so much suffering, he had finally managed to release some of it back on his oppressors.
He reached out and grabbed the flags, pretending to be indifferent. “Ok, you can fuck off now. Remember, next time you have to take the initiative to bring them over on your own, understood?”
“I understand, I understand. I’ll fuck off now.” That person hastily fled back to his own faction.
He was already rejoicing that he hadn’t been beaten up. At the same time, he had a thought to withdraw from his faction. This competition really was too terrifying. He actually thought that it’d be better to just be a factionless outer disciple.
Once that person left, there were others who flew over to take his place. However, some of them possessed some more ‘courage’.
To those people, Guo Ran extremely bluntly called over his brothers to give them a very nice fists-and-feet massage.
Long Chen snatched all of their flags on his own. He sneered. This is what they got for not having any trust in each other.
Without trust, how would they possess any mi
litary power? They would just be a bunch of scattered sand. They would be fine if nothing happened, but as soon as they met a true threat, they all just looked after themselves.
That was also why Long Chen hated those traitors so much. They had betrayed other people’s trust; if they had instead been in a real fight, they would have caused everyone to die.
“Long Chen, I’ll kill you!” Once Long Chen had stolen all their flags, Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu were finally unable to hold back Gu Yang.
He shot forward like an infuriated lion, his eyes spitting flames as he smashed his fist at Long Chen.
Chapter 210 Ancestral Blood Support
The current Gu Yang really had gone berserk. Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin had been beaten to the point where they couldn’t even crawl with imprints of people’s soles still visible on their faces.
Of the other core disciples, three of them had been entangled with Song Mingyuan’s group of three, while the other one was lying on the ground, appearing almost dead.
Their alliance of seven factions had all had their flags stolen, all because of Long Chen.
By this point, the incense stick was quickly reaching its end. If he still didn’t steal back those flags, their seven-faction alliance would end up last.
“Careful, Long Chen!”
Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu were not able to stop Gu Yang any longer. His control over his ancestral mark far surpassed their own, causing them to be at too great of a disadvantage.
Long Chen smiled and gave Tang Wan-er a reassuring gesture. He then focused on the furiously charging Gu Yang.
A flare of anger arose within him. That bastard had always been provoking him, saying that he would crush him into pulp over and over again. Although Long Chen had long since wanted to beat him up, he had always been too weak.
But now that he had reached the tenth Heavenstage of Blood Condensation and he had this powerful bone blade, he was no longer worried, slashing his blade at him.
Gu Yang roared and all the runes on his body lit up. Runic power flared over his fist as his punch smashed into the bone blade.
BOOM! The land shook from their intense collision; their attacks had actually been completely equal.
Under Gu Yang’s punch, Long Chen’s bone blade was blown back. Long Chen borrowed that force to spin, his bone blade cutting a huge arc as it sliced back towards Gu Yang’s waist.
As for Gu Yang, although he had managed to block Long Chen’s attack, he had still received a bit of a jolt and was forced back a step.
That shocked Gu Yang, as Long Chen’s attack was even stronger than Tang Wan-er’s wind blades.
But while he was still shocked, Long Chen’s bone blade had already spun in a crafty angle and was slicing towards him.
He was given a fright and went to block. But Long Chen’s angle of attack was extremely tricky, making it awkward for him to block it. He was unable to use any force in that position.
That caused him to suffer greatly and he was sent flying. It wasn’t that Long Chen had struck with too much power, but simply that his attack was too unorthodox for him.
Gu Yang quickly stabilized himself in midair. He was extremely powerful and had plentiful combat experience. As long as his foot touched the ground, he would be able to once more take the initiative and attack.
Unfortunately for him, the instant his foot was about to touch the ground, Long Chen’s bone blade had already viciously slashed out.
Gu Yang was both startled and infuriated. In these three consecutive blows from Long Chen, he hadn’t had the slightest chance to take a breath, causing him to be at a disadvantage.
Although he blocked this attack again, he immediately lost control over his center of gravity and was sent tumbling through the air. He only managed to stop again after dozens of meters, appearing extremely pathetic.
The entire crowd was silent. Everyone knew just how powerful Gu Yang was. He had long since been acclaimed the number one figure of the monastery’s new generation.
But even he was unable to receive more than three blows from Long Chen before being sent flying.
Some people even wondered if they had taken a blow to the head and were hallucinating. The person, who had made Gu Yang powerless to retaliate, was actually the one with the lowest cultivation base in the entire monastery.
Lazily resting his bone blade on his shoulder, Long Chen sneered at Gu Yang, “Didn’t you personally say many times that if I blocked your path you’d crush me to pulp? Now I have no choice but to doubt your words.”
Long Chen’s voice was calm without the slightest bit of anger. And yet it was precisely this calm slap in his face that made Gu Yang even more infuriated.
In Gu Yang’s eyes, Long Chen had always been a minor character. He had never cared about him at all. But now he was completely humiliated by this ‘minor character’.
Just now, he had been too careless, and that was the only reason why Long Chen was able to turn his movements into a mess. And now he was using his mistake to insult him.
Gu Yang roared and shot forward at Long Chen, punching out.
Long Chen sneered and raised his bone blade, slashing it directly onto Gu Yang’s bald head.
How could it be possible for Gu Yang’s fist to reach Long Chen before his bone blade reached him? Long Chen couldn’t be bothered to fight with him head-on. Rather than striking his fist, Long Chen wanted to test how hard that shiny head of his was.
Seeing Long Chen actually ignore his fist and aim at his head, Gu Yang was given a fright and hastily raised his fists to block.
But his movements were too hurried and he was unable to release his full strength. He was again forced back by Long Chen’s bone blade. He was only just about to restabilize when Long Chen’s blade had appeared in front of him again.
And so Gu Yang’s tragedy once more repeated itself. Before his feet could touch the ground, Long Chen’s blade sent him flying once more.
Other than the first move being a bit different, the next two attacks were exactly the same as before. It was even the exact same angle and power.
Most dumbfounding of all was that the miserable posture Gu Yang was sent tumbling through the air was exactly the same as the first time.
Lazily resting his bone blade on his shoulder, he once more sneered at Gu Yang, “Didn’t you personally say many times that if I blocked your path you’d crush me to pulp? Now I have no choice but to doubt your words.”
It was the exact same movement, the exact same expression, and the exact same phrase, completely infuriating and insulting Gu Yang.
Gu Yang sinisterly said, “Long Chen, you dare to humiliate me?”
Long Chen actually laughed, “Hahaha, who cares if I humiliate you? Aren’t you someone who regularly humiliates others?
“What? Someone humiliates you once and you can’t handle it? You really are a marvel. Can it be that despite being bald, you don’t allow others to call you baldy?
“What goes around comes around. Since you like to humiliate others, then you have to be ready to be humiliated by others.”
Long Chen detested geniuses like Gu Yang who had been pampered by their families to the point where they thought themselves to be emperors. It was like they expected others to just kneel in front of them automatically.
These geniuses treated humiliating others as just a regular part of their lives, a habit that had already been ingrained in their bones. But when someone else humiliated them, it was like they had committed some kind of heavenly crime.
“Long Chen, you’ve really infuriated me!” Gu Yang sinisterly glared at him, his gaze filled with killing intent.
“So what? If you get depressed over it, go over to Elder Sun with the large bell. Just smash your own head onto it and death will solve all your problems. Plus, you’ll even get to hear such a nice bell sound in your final moments. It can count as having a good death.” Long Chen pointed to the side.
Gu Yang couldn’t stop himself from taking this provocation. He felt
even his lungs might explode from anger. He roared, his runes lighting up and now shockingly beginning to tremble.
His runes seemed to come to life, moving slowly along his skin.
“He can activate his ancestral blood support!” Both Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu were the most shocked. They had never thought Gu Yang’s control over his ancestral mark had reached such a level.
Gu Yang had not only awakened his ancestral mark, but he had a perfect connection to his ancestral mark’s power that allowed him to activate his ancestral blood for further strength.
Activating the ancestral blood support was a kind of secret technique. Someone with an ancestral bloodline could ignite a portion of their essence blood to multiply their strength for a short period of time.
“Gu Yang is actually so powerful!” Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu looked at each other in dismay, seeing the other person’s disbelief.
“Long Chen, I’ll kill you!” Gu Yang’s runes moved over every inch of his body. From a distance, it looked as if countless insects had crawled over his body, causing anyone who saw it to feel terrified.
Gu Yang’s aura had exploded out to a shocking level, to the point where even those senior apprentice-brothers who were watching could sense the pressure.
“This Gu Yang really is a monster!” exclaimed one of the law enforcers.
Although they had also once been new disciples, their generation’s core disciples had definitely not been that terrifying.
There hadn’t even been a single genius who had awakened their ancestral mark in that generation, let alone a monster as terrifying as Gu Yang.
Everyone was now completely focused on the two of them. Long Chen’s return had completely reversed the state of the Faction Competition.
But now that Gu Yang had finally erupted out with his greatest strength, it still wasn’t certain just what the final result would be.
“Long Chen, we’ll help you.” Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu both walked up to Long Chen, taking a stance to fight against Gu Yang with him. That was naturally because the two of them had the greatest understanding of just how terrifying Gu Yang was. Only with all three of them together was there a chance of victory.
