Chapter 448: The Showdown with the Elder!
Chapter 448: The Showdown with the Elder!
"Outrageous!"
Seeing Long Chen actually move against him, a dark glint flashed through Lei Changshan’s eyes.
He shot out his palm, blasting a Palm Shadow straight toward Long Chen. Having just witnessed Long Chen’s capabilities, the power behind his attack was immense—strong enough that even an expert at the War King Realm Ninth Peak would struggle to block it. He intended to suppress Long Chen with this single blow.
However, he didn’t know that Long Chen was currently circulating the fourth layer of the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula. His combat power had already reached the Ninth Level of War King Realm!
BOOM!
When the Sword Intent collided with the Palm Shadow, a dense network of cracks spread across the latter. With a single sword strike, Long Chen shattered the Palm Shadow. His assault didn’t weaken in the slightest; the attack continued hurtling toward Lei Changshan.
A grim expression crossed Lei Changshan’s face. He had never imagined Long Chen could shatter his attack so easily. After all, his last strike was at the level of the War King Realm Ninth Peak, far beyond anything Shi Tongtian could have produced. In theory, his combat power should have been more than enough to completely crush Long Chen! But now...
He had no time to overthink it. His hands formed seals, and a power that could warp space itself erupted from his body. The aura of the Warlord Realm Eighth Layer instantly enveloped the area. Everyone present felt a crushing weight descend upon them, as if Mount Tai itself was pressing down and making it difficult to breathe.
"What a terrifying power!"
"The Second Elder is really getting serious this time!"
"Quick, get back!"
The spectators quickly circulated their own energy to resist while rapidly retreating, terrified of being caught in the powerful ripples of energy.
Seeing Lei Changshan’s aura surge, Long Chen didn’t hesitate for a moment, immediately activating the Fourth Stage Coiling Dragon Seal.
BOOM!
Instantly, Lei Changshan felt his body sink. His aura weakened considerably as a mysterious force suppressed his cultivation, dropping him from the Warlord Realm Eighth Layer all the way down to the Warlord Realm Fourth Layer!
Stunned by this sudden turn of events, Lei Changshan stared at Long Chen, his face etched with confusion. What on earth is going on?
As Long Chen’s attack closed in, he could only push his questions aside for the moment. He brought two fingers together and thrust them viciously toward Long Chen! Instantly, a Sharp Sword condensed from the Power of Thunder shot toward him.
A deafening sonic boom erupted as space itself distorted. The power of the Warlord Realm Fourth Layer was still extraordinarily shocking!
Seeing this, Long Chen’s eyes narrowed. His hands formed seals, and in the next second, the heavens filled with dense thunderclouds. As if summoned by Long Chen, lightning descended from the sky, shrouding his body in a dazzling, blinding silver light. A river of thunder, like the Milky Way, swirled around him.
Long Chen gathered this Power of Thunder and infused it into his own longsword.
HUM!
The blade vibrated intensely, its Sword Intent surging to astonishing heights. In response, the Sharp Sword formed by Lei Changshan was suppressed once more, its momentum instantly and significantly weakened.
BANG!
When the two swords collided, the one released by Lei Changshan was completely overwhelmed.
Lei Changshan was stunned. He never thought that the Power of Thunder he wielded could be suppressed by the lightning Long Chen released. His eyes narrowed, a cold glint appearing in their depths. If this boy isn’t dealt with now, he’ll inevitably become a major threat once he matures.
At this thought, Lei Changshan suddenly amplified his power. The suppressed Sharp Sword erupted with astonishing force once more, crushing down on Long Chen. Wild blades of sword light shot out, streaking toward Long Chen. In the next instant, numerous bloody cuts appeared on his body.
Seeing the ferocity of their battle, Lei Yujing frowned. She had to stop this situation from deteriorating any further. If this continued, Long Chen would suffer greatly. After all, even if his abilities were heaven-defying, the disparity in their Realms was simply too vast. With his current strength, he was still incapable of truly threatening Lei Changshan. She leaped into the air as a breathtaking power surged explosively from within her. In the next second, her figure flashed, and she instantly appeared beside Long Chen, striking out with her palm.
BOOM!
A terrifying force erupted, sweeping out in all directions and forcing all three of them to retreat.
Blood roiled in Long Chen’s chest, and a trickle of it escaped the corner of his mouth. Even so, the fury in his heart did not diminish in the slightest. He glared at Lei Changshan, ready to attack again, but Lei YJing blocked him. Lei Changshan, for his part, also looked poised to strike.
"Enough!" Lei Yujing shouted sternly. "Both of you, stop this instant!"
With that, she fixed her gaze on Lei Changshan. "How can you justify fighting so fiercely with a disciple?"
Lei Changshan, however, was dismissive. "He brought this upon himself!" he replied coldly.
"Stop making excuses," Lei Yujing said sternly. "I was watching from the side. I saw exactly how this started. You bear half the responsibility. As a sect elder, do you have no sense of restraint?"
Lei Changshan frowned, irritated at being reprimanded so publicly. She was clearly offering him no way to back down gracefully.
However, Lei Yujing gave him no chance to speak, turning instead to Long Chen. "You’re too impulsive as well. Starting a fight at the drop of a hat? Is that how you handle things?"
Just as Long Chen was about to speak, Lei Yujing sent him a quick voice transmission. "*That’s enough, kid. You’re no match for him, and continuing this scene will do you no good. For my sake, let this matter go for now. I promise I will ensure a fair and just outcome.*"
Then, Lei Yujing announced to the crowd, "I will declare the results. Long Xin has passed the assessment and has earned a spot in the Domain Alliance competition. This matter ends here! No one is to attack again!"
Lei Changshan was naturally displeased with this outcome, but he knew he was in the wrong and could only let it go.
Even so, Long Chen remained deeply indignant.
Just then, a weak voice called out, "Brother..."
Hearing that voice, Long Chen’s icy heart suddenly softened. He turned toward the sound and saw that Long Xin had woken from her unconscious state. Her face was deathly pale as she looked at him.
