Supreme Dragon Lord

Chapter 442 Shi Tongtian!

"Just you? Who do you think you are?" Long Xin sneered. "Cut the crap. My brother only needs one punch to smash your skull!"

At these words, everyone present gasped in shock. After all, this was the Sha Zhu of the Baiyue Sect. In terms of both status and strength, he ranked among the very top of the Jinglei Sect.

The Baiyue Sect had been crushed by the Dragon Gate, but that was only because Yang Ming had been in seclusion. Now that Yang Ming had emerged, he was certain to reclaim the Baiyue Sect’s honor. With Yang Ming backing it, the Baiyue Sect was no longer an easy target. If the Baiyue Sect and the Dragon Gate were to truly clash, a fierce battle was inevitable.

"What woman is this? Since when is it your turn to speak?" Yang Ming glanced at Long Xin coldly.

Long Chen said indifferently, "She represents me completely. What she just said is what I wanted to say. To deal with you, I only need one punch."

As soon as he spoke, the crowd erupted. The air crackled with hostility. Long Chen was capable, but everyone knew who Yang Ming was. Among the sect’s younger generation, Yang Ming’s strength was easily in the top five. Defeat Yang Ming with a single punch? That was simply impossible. Everyone felt that Long Chen was blatantly lying.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ming’s brow furrowed, clearly annoyed by Long Chen’s arrogance.

Just as the tension between the two was reaching a breaking point, another figure arrived. It was Wang Pingchuan, who had been in seclusion for a month.

Wang Pingchuan looked at Yang Ming. "Brother Yang, if you’re going to deal with him, count me in!"

"No problem," Yang Ming smiled faintly. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"Damn!"

"This is incredible!"

"Two of the top-five Heaven’s Chosen are teaming up against the Master of the Dragon Gate. Can Long Chen possibly withstand them?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

Long Chen glanced indifferently at Wang Pingchuan, a hint of a smile touching his lips. "It seems you’ve made quite some progress during your month of seclusion."

"Of course," Wang Pingchuan snorted coldly. "The rapid progress I’ve made this month is all thanks to you. I will take back everything I lost in my last defeat with my own two hands!"

"I’ll be waiting," Long Chen smiled calmly, his laugh filled with merciless mockery, as if to say he didn’t view him as a threat at all. "We’ll see if you truly have what it takes."

Wang Pingchuan’s expression turned grim, his eyes as sharp as blades. If looks could kill, Long Chen would have already been sliced into a thousand pieces. Of course, that was just a saying.

At that moment, the atmosphere suddenly grew more turbulent.

"Make way!"

"Clear a path! Panshi is entering! Brother Shi is here!"

"I haven’t seen Brother Shi in a long time. He seems even stronger than before!"

"He’s the favorite to take first place in this Sect Assessment. Among us disciples, his strength is unshakable."

The crowd quickly parted, clearing a path down the middle. A group from Panshi strode forward, heads held high and radiating confidence. At their head was none other than Shi Tongtian.

Seeing him, the crowd showed their reverence. Even Yang Ming and Wang Pingchuan dared not act presumptuously in his presence. This was the pressure exerted by pure strength.

As Shi Tongtian passed them, Yang Ming and Wang Pingchuan immediately flashed awkward smiles. "Brother Shi, long time no see!"

Shi Tongtian glanced at them indifferently. "I hear things haven’t been peaceful for you lately. The Medicine Pavilion, in particular... It seems it was replaced by this Dragon Gate?"

"Uh..." Hearing this, both Yang Ming and Wang Pingchuan fell silent. Unsure how to answer, they could only feel their immense shame. Seeing their expressions, Shi Tongtian let out a sneer. Yang Ming and Wang Pingchuan’s faces flushed crimson, but they had no outlet for their frustration and could only bottle it up. All they could do was direct their simmering resentment toward Long Chen.

Shi Tongtian swept a glance to the side, his gaze finally resting on Long Chen as he asked coolly, "Was it you who messed with my Panshi people two days ago?"

"So what if it was?" Long Chen asked calmly, completely unafraid.

The crowd gasped. No one had expected Long Chen to be so defiant, even in front of Shi Tongtian. Was there truly no one in the Jinglei Sect that he feared?

Shi Tongtian’s brow furrowed, clearly displeased with Long Chen’s response. He stared at Long Chen and said lightly, "Kid, you’re arrogant. But you need the capital to back up that arrogance. I’m rather curious... where does your confidence come from?"

Upon hearing this, Long Chen just smiled faintly. "The Sect Assessment will reveal the truth."

"You’ve got guts!" Shi Tongtian laughed loudly. "I look forward to your performance. I hope you won’t disappoint me."

"Don’t worry," Long Chen said coldly. "I just hope you’re not as useless as those two. Otherwise, it would be terribly boring."

Hearing this, Yang Ming and Wang Pingchuan’s faces twitched. This guy was too damn hateful. He was completely disregarding them. This was an outrageous insult. They clenched their fists, their teeth grinding as their eyes filled with rage. They swore they would make Long Chen pay a heavy price.

Shi Tongtian chuckled and strode away. The crowd parted for him, afraid to get in his way. The whispers started again.

"That Long Chen is truly audacious!"

"That was a clear challenge. I can’t wait to see them fight. Who will win?"

"Nonsense. It’ll be Brother Shi, of course. Even if Long Chen’s recent performance has been monstrously impressive, his accomplishments are nothing in front of Brother Shi. He can’t possibly make a splash."

"I agree. No one can compare to Brother Shi’s skill. I bet Long Chen will pay a heavy price for his arrogance. We just have to wait and see."

On the high platform, sensing that Shi Tongtian’s aura had become much more powerful, Lei Changshan nodded in satisfaction.

An official, trying to flatter him, said, "It’s been a while since we’ve seen him. Shi Tongtian’s strength has grown immensely. He’s sure to take first place in this assessment!"

"Haha! If he doesn’t take first, who else is qualified?!" Lei Changshan boomed with laughter.

Lei Yujing silently glanced at Lei Changshan before her gaze shifted back to Long Chen. I hope you don’t disappoint me.
