Supreme Dragon Lord

Chapter 430: Sincerely Admit the Mistake!

A disdainful smile touched the corners of Long Chen’s lips. He looked utterly contemptuous, not taking Liang Tianhao seriously in the slightest.

"Damn it!" Liang Tianhao couldn’t stand the humiliation. With a furious roar, his eyes sharpened as he threw a vicious punch toward Long Chen.

BANG!

With a sickening crunch, the bones in Liang Tianhao’s fist shattered upon impact.

"Aah!" An agonized scream, like a pig being slaughtered, ripped from Liang Tianhao’s throat.

Before he could recover, Long Chen slapped him across the face.

Liang Tianhao shot downward like a meteor, crashing hard onto the ground. Teeth and blood sprayed from his mouth, leaving him looking hideously mangled and pathetic. He struggled for a moment before fainting on the spot.

A deathly silence fell over the entire area. The members of the Baiyue Sect, in particular, stared with their eyes wide in astonishment, their faces etched with disbelief.

No one could have imagined that Long Chen would defeat Liang Tianhao so effortlessly. If they hadn’t witnessed it themselves, they would never have believed it was real. The young man’s power was simply terrifying.

Their previous arrogance vanished instantly, replaced by a profound sense of fear. They held their breath, not daring to make a sound, terrified of attracting Long Chen’s attention. After all, if even Liang Tianhao was no match for him, what chance did they have? To be targeted by him meant certain death.

Zhang Cangsong’s face turned ashen. The corner of his mouth twitched violently, and his heart tightened in his chest. What am I supposed to do?

"Damn! The Sect Leader is incredible!"

"I thought he’d have a tough fight on his hands, but I never expected him to take that guy down so easily!"

"So much for the Baiyue Sect. In front of our Dragon Gate, even dragons must coil and tigers must lie down. This isn’t a place for you to stir up trouble!"

The members of the Dragon Gate were elated, their faces beaming with brilliant smiles. After being suppressed for so long, they could finally hold their heads high. Confidence radiated from every one of them, all thanks to their powerful Sect Leader, Long Chen. They felt incredibly fortunate to have made the best decision of their lives: appointing him as their leader.

Seeing that Liang Tianhao had fainted, the expressionless Long Chen pointed a finger. A stream of Qi Force struck one of Liang Tianhao’s acupoints with perfect precision. The unconscious man suddenly jolted awake.

As he regained consciousness, intense pain shot through him, causing him to grit his teeth in agony.

"You lost," Long Chen stated indifferently, looking down at him.

Liang Tianhao’s heart jolted. He looked up at Long Chen, his brows knitting together tightly. He could never have imagined being so utterly defeated. The loss was difficult to accept, but it was an undeniable fact. Still unwilling to concede, he stared coldly at Long Chen. "You’re just a wet-behind-the-ears newcomer. How can you be this strong?"

"A frog in a well," Long Chen replied with a faint smile. "Don’t view the world through your narrow lens. A person like you isn’t even worthy of being my opponent."

Liang Tianhao gritted his teeth in fury but could only shake his head helplessly. There was no denying it; he had truly lost to Long Chen. He could only manage a cold snort. "Kid, you’ve got guts! Your strength is truly..."

"Cut the crap," Long Chen interrupted coolly. "It’s time for our Dragon Gate to settle accounts with your Baiyue Sect. Tell me, how will the Baiyue Sect atone for causing us trouble time and time again?"

"This..." Hearing Long Chen’s words, Liang Tianhao frowned in thought. "The ones who caused you trouble were those men over there. You can deal with them directly. We won’t interfere, and we won’t bother you ever again."

Zhang Cangsong’s eyelid twitched violently. Deal with us directly? What the hell is that?! Are we not part of the same organization?! Who sells out their teammates like this! He and the others were furious but didn’t dare say it aloud. "Senior Brother Liang..."

But before he could finish, Liang Tianhao cut him off. "Shut up! When did I give you permission to speak?"

Zhang Cangsong’s heart skipped a beat, and he fell silent, not daring to utter another word.

Long Chen sneered. "Is that how you plan to settle this debt, Senior Brother Liang?"

Liang Tianhao frowned. "Then what do you want?"

"Kneel," Long Chen said plainly. "I haven’t decided what to do with you yet."

What?!

Liang Tianhao’s face darkened, and the expressions of the other Baiyue Sect members turned grim. Seeing their hesitation, Long Chen flicked his finger. A stream of Qi Force struck Liang Tianhao’s knee.

THUD.

Liang Tianhao was forced to one knee. Rage blazed in his heart, but just as he was about to lash out, a terrifying pressure washed over him, leaving him completely unable to resist. Both his knees slammed onto the ground, and he had to brace himself with his hands to keep from collapsing.

Then, Long Chen’s chilling gaze swept over the other members of the Baiyue Sect. Seeing his look, they didn’t dare to object any longer.

THUD!

THUD!

THUD!

One after another, they all dropped to their knees, awaiting Long Chen’s verdict.

Seeing that they knew what was good for them, Long Chen returned to the pavilion and sat down, laughing and chatting merrily with Tang Le and the others.

Under the blazing sun, sweat soaked their backs, and their skin turned a painful red. They knelt for nearly a full day, their knees growing numb and agonizing. Worse, the Dragon Gate members would periodically release waves of pressure, making it nearly impossible to bear the strain. Many of the Baiyue Sect members had already fainted from the ordeal.

As dusk approached, Liang Tianhao and his men grew weak, their lips pale from dehydration. He was reaching his limit and finally called out to Long Chen, "Exactly how long do you intend to make us kneel?"

Long Chen turned his head and glanced indifferently at Liang Tianhao. "Until I see that your remorse is sincere."

Liang Tianhao was left utterly speechless. He had never been so humiliated in his life, and the resentment festering in his heart had no outlet. He was filled with regret. He regretted ever provoking such a monster. If he hadn’t, he never would have ended up in this miserable state.

After a moment of internal struggle, he finally addressed Long Chen. "I was wrong!" he declared. "I never should have opposed the Dragon Gate! I never should have come here to cause trouble!

"To compensate, the Baiyue Sect will lift the blockade on your market trades. We can even provide you with resources! Is that enough?"
