Chapter 295: Divine Fire Clone Activate!
Even though he was certain of his victory, Long Chen dared not be careless. The Biyang Imperial Capital was larger than Yuanling City, so even though Long Chen was considered a genius in Yuanling City, he was just a regular cultivator here in the imperial capital. There was an abundance of people at the same cultivation level as him.
Long Chen was wagering Xiaolangs life, so he had to win. Naturally, he only dared to suggest that because he was certain he could win.
The battle that everyone had been anticipating started.
Yu Chong and Long Chen both transformed at the start of the battle. Long Chen dared not let his guard down, especially since he was fighting against someone at a higher cultivation level. He needed to transform into his strongest form right now.
Yu Chong had completed his transformation too.
It was clear that Yu Chong was using an Earth-tier wolf-type demonic beast as his Primary Beast Soul. He had grown into a three-meter-tall beast and silver fur had sprouted on his skin. His sharp claws revealed a bloody glint.
Yu Chong was visually stronger than Long Chen.
This is a Category Four Earth-tier Silver Moon Wolf. What is your Primary Beast Soul? What category is it? You look like a lizard. Yu Chong laughed after he taunted Long Chen. To him, a country bumpkin would always be a bumpkin. He thought there was no way Long Chens primary beast soul could compete with his.
The Heavenly Wolf Gang laughed too.
The Ninth Prince didnt. He was fixated on what type of beast soul Long Chen was using.
He knew Long Chen had been using the same beast soul since the Draconic Realm, but what was surprising was that it appeared to have grown in strength as Long Chen became stronger. It was one of the reasons why the Ninth Prince thought Long Chen was mysterious.
Long Chen decided to end it as fast as possible to prevent any unforeseen circumstances from happening.
Be careful, Long Chen said before rushing towards the massive beast. His speed caused wind to blow in every direction.
Yu Chong was still laughing, but he became serious after seeing Long Chens speed.
While running, Long Chen brandished the Azure Dragon Halberd. Without saying anything, he waved it around and pointed the tip at Yu Chong. Afterimages of the halberd circled around him.
What an idiot to fight the Ninth Prince for a woman. Yu Chong licked his lips, and his Qi exploded outwards. A wolf tattoo appeared on his body and killing intent spilled forth.
He clenched his feet and jumped, his body turning into a cannon ball that barrelled towards Long Chen before he extended his claws.
The ground shook from the impact.
Die! Tear through the heavens and earth! Heaven Rending Claw!
His hand flew towards Long Chen. Long Chen knew that the technique was at least as strong as an elementary Earth-tier martial technique.
Azure Dragon Combat Technique, Starsweep Dragon!
The afterimages of the halberd filled the air as they crashed into Yu Chongs claws. The sound of clashing metals and scraping nails could be heard countless times. Yu Chongs claws were stronger than Long Chen had expected. After clashing with each other numerous times, both of them remained unscathed. In the end, both flew backwards from the impact.
Bam! Boom!
They each took several steps back before stopping. It appeared that they were evenly matched. Everyone had expected for Long Chen to be blown back, so they were surprised when they saw Yu Chong look equally disheveled. The Heavenly Wolf Gang was perplexed at what they were seeing.
Bastard! Did you not eat lunch or did you waste all of your energy on the woman yesterday? If you dare humiliate our Lord, I will skin you alive! Yu Tao shouted.
Yu Chong was dejected. He had used his full strength, yet he had failed to defeat Long Chen. He was confused too. Long Chen was only at the Second River Stage but already had the strength of a Third River Stage cultivator. Yu Chong was considered an elite in terms of raw strength, so how could he get pushed back by Long Chen?
Shit! I dont believe this! I will defeat you in one technique!
Yu Chongs eyes were cold and his body became a blur as he ran towards Long Chen.
Long Chen had also shaken off the pain from the previous clash.
Demonic Wolf Secret Technique, Silver Moon Slash!
Yu Chongs massive frame became a giant blade of moonlight that flew towards Long Chen. The martial technique was immensely powerful. Long Chen saw numerous wolf faces hidden within the blade. The faint faces seemed to make the attack stronger.
Nine Spinning Fire Shields!
Long Chen did not attack head-on with another technique, instead opting to block. He was now capable of using the Nine Spinning Fire Shields much more naturally compared to when he fought Emperor Yuan. After training and cultivating it, he could now use the complete Nine Spinning Fire Shields rather than his previous record of six rotations.
There were a lot of martial techniques that focused on attacking, but few of them were defensive ones. All defensive martial techniques were considered superior techniques, and the Nine Spinning Fire Shields was one of them. It was an intermediate Earth-tier martial technique that used spinning fire to disperse the energy from incoming attacks.
Everyone saw the Silver Moon Slash and the Nine Spinning Fire Shields clashing into each other. The rotation from the fire expunged gusts of hot air everywhere, forming dust clouds around Long Chen.
The time is now! Long Chens eyes glinted.
Even though the Nine Spinning Fire Shields was facing strong pressure, Long Chen was confident that it would not break. But it would not be easy for him to injure Yu Chong from behind the shield. Still, he was not out of options.
Lets try this method instead. Long Chen smiled when he felt that Yu Chong was desperately trying to break the shield.
Divine Fire Clone, activate! A blazing flame engulfed Long Chen before detaching from his body, forming a fiery clone! This was a Divine Fire Clone.
Long Chen had made the first True Fire Seed and planted it in his body back at Goldfish Island. He could finally use it today.
Only Yu Chong failed to notice the clone. Yu Tao and everyone else didnt know what the Divine Fire Clone was, so they were looking at it in confusion. But the Ninth Prince knew. Long Chen had only obtained the Nine Spinning Fire Shields and Divine Fire Clone recently, yet he could already use them! It was a testament to his talent.
The Ninth Prince had only barely made the first True Fire Seed recently, and he didnt even know if he could use it in battle.
Elder Yan saw the Ninth Princes face. My Lord, should I snuff him out?
Stop your nonsense. Do not talk about this ever again. Focus on the battle, the Ninth Prince whispered.
Boss, what is that thing? Is that a Divine Technique? How could a country bumpkin have so many things? Not only does he have an intermediate Earth-tier martial technique and a defensive technique, he even has an intermediate Earth-tier Divine Arm! All of them were looking at Long Chen greedily.
He belongs to the Ninth Prince now. If our Lord didnt say anything, we must not do anything. Remember this! Yu Tao said with a frown.
Long Chens DIvine Fire Clone was ready and immediately jumped into the Nine Spinning Fire Shields. It then merged with it!
The Divine Fire Clone has one fifth of my strength. This is already stronger than a regular First River Stage cultivator. I wonder if he could take on a surprise attack on that level? Long Chen smiled coldly.
He slowly stepped back the Silver Moon Slashs strength.
Hes retreating? Yu Chong was desperate to win and was elated to see that his attack was working. He was about to press on when a fiery person suddenly jumped out of the Nine Spinning Fire Shields and punched him in the face. Yu Chong didnt have time to prepare for it!
Bam!
The fire engulfed Yu Chongs body, burning off a lot of his fur.
Yu Chong flew backwards from the attack, and Long Chen dispersed his Nine Spinning Fire Shields. He then slammed the Azure Dragon Halberd down onto Yu Chongs abdomen and pinned him down!
Bam!
Yu Chong crashed into the ground and howled painfully. He had barely managed to put out the fire on his body when he felt something cold and metallic on his throat. When he could finally see properly, Long Chens Azure Dragon Halberd was already on his neck.
You lose, Long Chen said plainly.
Yu Chong could not believe what he was seeing, but the pain all over his body reminded him of the harsh truth. Long Chen was not lyinghe had indeed lost.
Impossible! Yu Chong tried to struggle.
Not accepting defeat? Do you think I wont chop your head off?
Everyone saw what had happened. Yu Tao and the others were as shocked as Yu Chong, and that feeling was followed by anger, regret, and self-blame. They had caused the Ninth Prince to lose the Fire Essence.
The Ninth Prince looked at Long Chen plainly, but his hands were clenching hard behind his back. Only Elder Yan noticed this.
