  Zheng Wenlong couldn’t help cursing these two inside. At this time, he didn’t have anyone else to push this trouble onto. It wasn’t as if he could toss it to Hua Biluo.

  In fact, Hua Biluo was also wearing a bewildered expression, and it was obvious she also didn’t understand what it meant. This was a vulgar word circulated around in the secular world. Although he was a businessman, he really couldn’t thicken his face enough to push this onto her.

  Just as he didn’t know what to say, his eyes suddenly brightened and he exclaimed, “Long Chen’s starting to counterattack!”

  They all turned to look at Long Chen. He extended his right hand, and a palm-sized green scale floated out of his hand.

  This action immediately drew everyone’s attention. That green scale didn’t release the slightest bit of pressure. It looked just like an ordinary fish scale. The only difference was that this scale had a white crescent moon design on it.

  Seeing that scale, Han Tianyu’s heart tightened. For some unknown reason, he had an extremely bad feeling.

  “Die!”

  Another drop of blood flew out of his forehead to land on his crystal bone. A terrifying pressure locked Long Chen tightly in place. A red ray once more shot out at him.

  Long Chen smiled coldly, and the scale in his hand suddenly blossomed with light. It was like the sun as it smashed into that red light.

  [1] In this novel, the terms and are often used. They are considered vulgar language and are rather hard to translate. Here, they are talking about . If I pass it through my dictionary, I get ‘to act like a pretentious prick’. Generally, I translate it as bragging, pretentious, posturing/posing, being arrogant, or showing off. The reason why the women don’t know what it means is because it’s such a coarse and vulgar word. wasn’t used here, but I just added it in so you know in the future. Sometimes the author will say there is a difference between and (as you can see, the second character of the term is the same). The closest translation of would be something like ‘badass’.

  Chapter 448 Exhaust You to Death

  The instant the dragon scale and the red ray collided, a blinding light made everyone turn away.

  Only several breaths’ time later did their vision recover. Although that light was still harsh, the peak experts were now able to see through it.

  The scale from Long Chen’s hand was now floating in the air. It had grown to become a similar size to the crystal bone.

  A green light was coming from it that blocked the red light of the crystal bone. The space where they were colliding was constantly shuddering.

  “What?! It blocked the crystal bone?!”

  “What is that scale?!”

  “What kind of Magical Beast’s scale could possibly block the attack of a Xiantian crystal bone?!”

  People felt as if they were going crazy. If Long Chen had also taken out a crystal bone, then that would have been acceptable. But this was just a scale. How could a scale block the power of a crystal bone?

  Space was constantly rumbling. The scale was linked to Long Chen’s mind and was capable of drawing on Long Chen’s spiritual qi. It began to force back the red light.

  “How is this possible?!” Han Tianyu was shocked and furious. Another drop of blood flew out from his forehead and onto the crystal bone.

  In truth, this crystal bone was not something he had obtained himself. It was something a Righteous Chosen had obtained inside a secret cave.

  However, he had been noticed by Han Tianyu. After killing him, Han Tianyu had spent a great deal of time studying it, finding it to be a bone from an ancient Magical Beast. The lines on the bone were Magical Beast runes, something that could only be formed once a Magical Beast reached the Xiantian realm. They would brand their strongest attack onto their crystal bone, and as long as you had enough energy, you could activate that ability. Furthermore, you wouldn’t need to accumulate energy like ordinary Magical Beasts.

  Han Tianyu had spent a great deal of time and effort in order to refine it. However, his strength was still not high enough, and so he was unable to use his spiritual qi to activate the beast runes. He had no choice but to use his purest essence blood energy to summon its power.

  After it received the energy within his essence blood, the crystal bone’s light increased somewhat, blocking the advance of Long Chen’s dragon scale.

  “Hmph, let’s see just how much essence blood you can use.” Long Chen snorted. After advancing to the ninth Heavenstage of Tendon Transformation, his spiritual qi was vast like an ocean. Furthermore, with the support of his divine ring, his spiritual qi was constantly being replenished.

  The only time he had exhausted his spiritual qi in this fight was when using Split the Heavens. Despite how much spiritual qi he possessed now, it had immediately used up a third of it.

  Now, Long Chen was sure of one thing. Split the Heavens was actually a Heaven class Battle Skill.

  He had never imagined that the ruined Battle Skill he had obtained in trade for a garbage medicinal pill would actually have reached the Heaven class.

  Each time Long Chen had used Split the Heavens, he had not been disappointed. It had always been his strongest trump card that had allowed him to reverse the tide. Now, he had finally had enough spiritual qi to use it to its full potential, proving its immense power.

  Although its consumption was also terrifying, Long Chen was still extremely delighted. He still had half his spiritual qi now. With his divine ring, as long as he didn’t release any ultimate moves like Split the Heavens again, his spiritual qi would rapidly recover, and he could definitely exhaust Han Tianyu.

  After the second drop of essence blood, Han Tianyu’s attack managed to suppress the dragon scale.

  But his delight only lasted for a moment before his expression turned ugly. The dragon scale had only retreated for a moment. Now it was as if it was being supported by some kind of energy and was once more slowly suppressing the crystal bone.

  “Bastard, I refuse to believe this!” Han Tianyu clenched his teeth and once more extracted a drop of essence blood. This drop allowed him to take the advantage again for another breath’s time before Long Chen’s dragon scale once more began to suppress him.

  Although he didn’t recognize what that scale was, he could sense just how dangerous it was. He absolutely could not allow it to approach him.

  He had no choice but to once more extract a drop of essence blood. But this time, his face became slightly pale after it flew out.

  This essence blood he was extracting was not ordinary essence blood. With each drop, he was extracting all the purest energy within his blood. Doing so was very harmful to the body.

  One or two drops was no problem, and even three to five drops was something acceptable. After some rest and taking some medicines, that could be recovered from.

  But once you extracted so much that it surpassed your body’s limit, that would destroy any chance of you reaching the Xiantian realm.

  However, Han Tianyu could not stop, despite this suffering. He could only continue extracting this essence blood.

  His only hope right now was to exhaust all of Long Chen’s energy. This was now a battle of attrition, and the winner would be the one who could hold on the longest.

  Green and red light constantly collided, causing the void to tremble around them. Everything within a hundred miles was enveloped by those two lights.

  “Just what scale is that? How can it be so strong that it can resist a crystal bone?” asked Mo Nian.

  It wasn’t just Mo Nian who was stunned. This was also the question that everyone else wanted to ask. A scale was just a shed piece of skin from a Magical Beast.

  However, a crystal bone contained all the Magical Beast’s essence. The two of them should not be even close to the same level. That caused many people to be at a loss.

  However, none of them noticed a shocked expression flit through Zheng Wenlong’s eyes.

  “I can’t be wrong. This has to be something from legend
s. Could it be that this world really does have dragons? They aren’t just myths?”

  With his education, Zheng Wenlong had naturally been able to recognize this reverse scale. However, many people were unable to connect this scale with the dragons that existed only within legend. In the current world, there were far too many Magical beasts with scales. They naturally wouldn’t think it was something so legendary.

  “Long Chen really has heaven-defying luck. He even managed to obtain something that only exists in legend.”

  Zheng Wenlong was filled with emotion. If he was right, then this entire scenario made sense.

  Everyone was closely staring at the scale and crystal bone. Quite a few people had recovered from their horror, and now some greed had appeared in their eyes.

  Those were both top treasures that anyone would go crazy for. However, although many people had that kind of thought, they didn’t have that kind of courage.

  For the ordinary people here, let alone snatching those treasures, they would be crushed to death just from the shockwaves.

  “Long Chen really is a monster. Han Tianyu has lost,” sighed Mo Nian.

  “What? Aren’t they still even now?” asked Gu Yang.

  “That ring of light behind Long Chen is rapidly absorbing spiritual qi for Long Chen. I really have never seen such a terrifying technique. It’s like a whale inhaling water. Such a Battle Skill can let a person always keep up their spiritual qi.

  “As for that pretty boy Han Tianyu, do you not see how his face is getting paler and paler? He’s clearly lost too much blood.

  “Even if his entire body was filled with only blood, he still wouldn’t be able to exhaust Long Chen. Sooner or later, he won’t be able to keep it up.”

  Now that Mo Nian said this, everyone nodded. Although they were far from the battle, they could also all sense the flow of the spiritual qi around them.

  Naturally that was flowing toward Long Chen’s divine ring. The spiritual qi within hundreds of miles was being crazily absorbed by him. At this point, it could be said that Long Chen was in an invincible position.

  As for Han Tianyu, it truly was as Mo Nian said. His pale face was getting paler by the minute, and terror had begun to appear in his eyes. He had also sensed that the situation was not good.

  In the beginning, he had thought his essence blood would be able to exhaust Long Chen’s spiritual qi. But that ring of light behind Long Chen was constantly drawing spiritual qi from all directions.

  As for him, each drop of essence blood was something he could not recover in such a short time. If this continued, then he would be the one exhausted first.

  “Those subordinate to the Xuantian Supermonastery, I use the authority of the first monastery to order you to kill the traitor Long Chen!”

  The first monastery’s disciples didn’t even need to think. They all took out their weapons and charged at Long Chen.

  Under the lead of the first monastery, those monasteries that were subordinate to them also took out their weapons.

  “Kill Long Chen, purify our Righteous path!”

  It was unknown who took the lead to shout, but all those who were affiliated with the first monastery charged.

  BOOM!

  Suddenly, a ray of light exploded in front of them.

  A group of people blocked their way. They were Guo Ran, Zheng Wenlong, Hua Biluo, Mo Nian, and all their people. Each of them had taken out their weapons, their killing intent surging.

  Icily looking at these people, Mo Nian couldn’t help but sneer. “You dare ignore us? You really must not know what death is.”

  Seeing them block their way, Yin Wushuang and the other top experts retreated a few steps. With such people blocking their way, there was no way for them to launch a sneak attack.

  Yin Wushuang sharply cried out, “You’re all acting as accomplices! By protecting such an evildoer, are you planning on becoming enemies with the entire Righteous path?!”

  “Shut up. An evil woman like you also calls yourself a member of the Righteous path? Please. Furthermore, do you think just a word from you can represent the entire Righteous path? You really are a fool. Do you not even know your own conduct?” Guo Ran viciously spat on the ground.

  “Brother, I really admire your eloquence!” Mo Nian gave Guo Ran two thumbs-up for his brilliant cursing of others.

  As for Gu Yang and the others, they were also pleased with his words. This bitch had caused so many people to die; they really had an urge to bite her to death. Guo Ran’s cursing really was satisfying.

  “She can’t represent the Righteous path, but I can!” Suddenly, a disdainful sneer rang out, and everyone’s expressions changed.

  Chapter 449 Hua Biluo’s Fury

  “She can’t represent the Righteous path, but I can!” Huo Wufang walked to the front.

  “Huo Wufang, your Pill Tower is a neutral party! Are you trying to bring on the public’s wrath?!” raged Hua Biluo.

  The Pill Tower’s position was transcendent. They didn’t stick their hands into the struggle between the Righteous and Corrupt paths. Everyone was startled that Huo Wufang would stand out at this time.

  “What I’m doing right now has nothing to do with the Pill Tower. I just find a certain person very displeasing. He stole my things, and I’ve already said I would make him regret it. Right now, I will use my position to attest that Long Chen is wicked beyond redemption. He willfully slaughters the innocent, and I will take the place of the heavens to punish him. What can you do to me?” sneered Huo Wufang.

  “You! You really are bullying excessively!” Hua Biluo’s body was trembling with rage.

  Huo Wufang was clearly just being shameless. With his grudge with Long Chen, they thought of an extremely frightening result from him standing out now.

  “Huo Wufang, the Pill Tower is controlled by the Chai, Fang, and Huo families. It is not controlled by just your Huo family! You should think about the consequences of your actions!” said Zheng Wenlong.

  “A little peddler like you doesn’t have the right to speak to me. How much could you possibly know about my Pill Tower’s matters? Let me tell you, today, Long Chen must die. I don’t care if he’s innocent, and I don’t care if he’s guilty. My goal is very simple: I want him to feel regret, and I want him to die. He wants to steal something of mine? Hehe, then he can use his life as repayment,” sneered Huo Wufang.

  He then pointed at Hua Biluo. “Hua Biluo, your Hua family sent your family head’s daughter to marry into my Huo family two years ago. Each year, you enjoy a certain discount, allowing you to save a great deal of wealth.

  “Furthermore, you even stealthily sold the medicinal pills you bought from us, swindling even more profit. Did you think your little tricks could be hidden from my Huo family?

  “Hurry up and scram from here. Otherwise, when I return, I will cut your Hua family off from medicinal pills.

  “At that time, I trust your family head would definitely hand you over to me to enjoy as I please.”

  “You!”

  Hua Biluo’s expression completely changed. In her Hua family, her position was not extremely high. She was just a member from a branch bloodline. It was only because she had a high enough talent that she was treated well.

  As for the matter of her Hua family stealthily selling the discounted medicinal pills, she did know a bit about it. She really hadn’t expected Huo Wufang to know all about it, and for him to even use it to threaten her.

  If Huo Wufang was telling the truth and he really cut off her Hua family’s medicinal pills… well, even an ancient family would decline without the support of medicinal pills.

  That was something the family head would definitely not permit. To send her to Huo Wufang as an apology, to sacrifice a single genius in the benefit of the family, the family head would definitely not hesitate for a moment.

  In her shock and fury, Hua Biluo even began to cry tears of grief. However, she was helpless to change this.

  “Everyone… I’m sorry
…”

  “Don’t worry, we all understand your troubles. You can just help cheer for us in the distance. Watch how we handle these idiots,” laughed Guo Ran. With Long Chen not amongst them, he was the deputy. And the deputy naturally had to display the same heroism as his superior.

  Guo Ran didn’t want to make things hard on Hua Biluo. If she really stood by Long Chen’s side, then there was no way she could endure the consequences.

  Hua Biluo covered her face with her hand and hurried away. Those few experts by her side could also only powerlessly follow.

  She had only brought seven of her Chosen here. They were the greatest strength she had right now. As for the others, they were too weak, and she didn’t want them to be sent to their deaths. As long as they had the right heart, it was enough. Since they were loyal, she would go all-out to groom them in the future. The thing known as loyalty was truly too difficult to obtain. That was something Long Chen had taught her.

  Now, the end result for her was just humiliation. She could only leave sadly without helping Long Chen at all.

  After she left, Huo Wufang smiled mockingly. Looking at Mo Nian, he began, “As for your Qing Prefecture’s Mo Gate-”

  “Shut up. Is the great name of Mo Gate something an idiot like you can say? Keep your farts inside. Your face is as ugly as a stove. Did you think you were so amazing that your ugliness could scare me away?” Before Huo Wufang could finish, Mo Nian interrupted.

  After cursing him, Mo Nian felt much more refreshed. Didn’t his family always like to say that he didn’t know how to cause trouble? He wanted to see if they could say that again this time.

  “Amazing, what splendid cursing! Big brother Mo, that cursing was truly exquisite. Junior brother truly admires you.” Guo Ran looked up to Mo Nian fawningly as if he had met his soulmate.

  “Ah, you overpraise me! Brother Guo, aren’t you just as amazing?” Mo Nian said modestly.

  “You… you two… you’re looking to die!” Huo Wufang trembled from rage. Other than Long Chen, this was the first time he encountered someone who dared treat him like this.
