Supreme Dragon Lord

Chapter 462: Strength!

The red-haired elder was also sent flying, his face turning deathly pale as the lifeblood roiled within him. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes wide with disbelief.

He had never imagined Long Chen’s strength could be so formidable. He had originally thought he would annihilate this group of Jinglei Sect disciples, but he never expected that his own Heavenly Demon Sect disciples would be the ones wiped out—he had even ended up paying the price himself. What kind of Evil Creature is this!

It wasn’t just the red-haired elder who was shocked; even the Jinglei Sect disciples were completely dumbfounded. They had never imagined that Long Chen’s strength could be so overwhelming. A mighty Warlord Realm expert was like a mere ant before him, a sight that defied belief.

Lei Yujing was also taken aback by this outcome. She shook her head and smiled. This kid truly is unfathomable.

The red-haired elder’s face was a mask of bitter regret. Damn it, what kind of intelligence was this?! Weren’t they told there was only one Warlord Realm expert here? Why did no one tell me there was such a terrifying Evil Creature?! If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have rather died than come here to suffer! To be utterly thrashed by a mere whelp... this is an outrageous humiliation! Moreover, if word of this gets out, I’ll never be able to show my face in the God-Devil Domain again!

At this, he felt like crying but had no tears to shed. The most pressing matter right now was to get out of here. Pushing past the pain wracking his body, he forcefully circulated his Battle qi and soared into the air, desperate to escape.

However, just as he leaped into the air, a formidable Power of Thunder suddenly gathered and struck him squarely.

BZZT!

The lightning engulfed him, sending his body into convulsions. His mind went blank as he lost consciousness and crashed heavily to the ground.

CRACK!

As he hit the ground, the sickening snap of breaking bone echoed. The impact had shattered his spine, leaving him completely paralyzed. A wave of excruciating pain washed over him, and he let out a scream like a pig at slaughter.

I can’t even stand... All I can do is lie here and wait for death!

Long Chen appeared before him, his face expressionless.

Upon seeing Long Chen, the red-haired elder’s heart leaped to his throat. He quickly pleaded in a trembling voice, "Spare my life..."

Long Chen’s gaze was fixed tightly on him as he stepped onto the elder’s chest. The elder’s chest constricted, and another trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

A look of terror spread across his face. "Let me go, I can..."

Before he could finish, Long Chen cut him off. "Enough nonsense. Answer a question for me."

"Where have you imprisoned my father?"

"Your father?"

The red-haired elder looked bewildered for a moment, but his eyes darted shiftily. "I know, I know! Your father is in the dungeons of our Heavenly Demon Sect."

"Hurry up and release me, otherwise, your father..."

Before he could finish speaking, Long Chen stomped down with sudden force.

BANG!

The red-haired elder’s body exploded on the spot. His limbs flew in all directions, and the thick, coppery scent of blood filled the air, making those nearby frown.

Long Chen’s face remained impassive, and a chilling murderous intent emanated from him, making one’s blood run cold. He hadn’t believed a word the red-haired elder said. It was obvious the man was spouting lies to save his own life, which was why Long Chen had delivered the killing blow without hesitation.

Seeing that Long Chen had almost single-handedly resolved the crisis, the Jinglei Sect disciples erupted in praise.

"Incredible! Truly incredible!"

"With a Heaven’s Chosen like him in our Jinglei Sect, we’re bound to get a good ranking in the Domain Alliance Grand Tournament!"

"There’s hope for the Jinglei Sect!"

Everyone had already been astonished by Long Chen’s strength, but this battle redefined his power in their eyes. The Jinglei Sect disciples’ admiration for him deepened.

A smile touched Long Xin’s pretty face as she saw the Jinglei Sect disciples’ worshipful gazes on Long Chen. However, she could still sense the killing intent radiating from him. She immediately stepped forward, took his arm, and called out softly, "Brother."

At the sound of her gentle voice, the chill surrounding Long Chen instantly vanished.

He turned his head, a faint smile on his lips as he looked at Long Xin. "Don’t worry, I’m fine."

Tang Le, who stood to one side, gave Long Chen a deep look, an unreadable and complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Just then, Lei Yujing addressed the crowd. "Everyone, board the ship. We need to hurry and depart; we must reach the Domain Alliance before nightfall."

"Yes!"

Hearing Lei Yujing’s words, the Jinglei Sect disciples nodded in unison and began boarding the flying ship. Long Chen and the others reboarded as well. Under the control of the Jinglei Sect disciples, the ship took off once more, continuing its journey toward the Domain Alliance.

Once they were underway, Lei Yujing found Long Chen. "Can we talk?"

Long Chen nodded. "Alright."

After they found a secluded area of the ship, Long Chen looked at Lei Yujing and asked, "Third Elder, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"What is the feud between you and the Heavenly Demon Sect?" Lei Yujing asked, then quickly added, "Of course, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. I’m only asking out of concern."

"Not only are you one of the most talented disciples in the sect right now, but I’ve also personally watched you grow and improve. And more than that, I have a very high opinion of your character.

"I may not have a clear grasp of your full strength, but I have a very clear grasp of the man you are.

"You’re ruthless toward your enemies, but incredibly good to your own people. I’m very gratified by that. I consider you one of us, so I don’t want to see you in danger, much less see anything happen to you."

As she said this, Lei Yujing patted Long Chen’s shoulder. "Do you understand what I mean?"

Lei Yujing’s words warmed Long Chen’s heart, and much of his cold demeanor dissipated. A smile touched his lips. "Thank you for your concern, Third Elder. It is truly my honor to have earned your recognition and care since I joined the Sect."

After a moment’s thought, he continued, "There is indeed a great enmity between myself and the Heavenly Demon Sect."

Lei Yujing didn’t speak, just stared straight at Long Chen, waiting for him to continue.

"Back in the Wilderness Region, they kidnapped my father," Long Chen said. "The entire reason I came to the God-Devil Domain was to rescue him."

Hearing this, Lei Yujing frowned. I had assumed he’d killed one of their disciples or perhaps stolen some treasure. I never imagined the Heavenly Demon Sect had actually kidnapped his father.

Curious, Lei Yujing asked, "Why would the Heavenly Demon Sect want to kidnap your father?"

"I’m not sure," Long Chen said, shaking his head. He paused thoughtfully before adding, "However, I don’t believe my father was their true target."

Lei Yujing quickly understood. "It was because of you?"
