<h4>Chapter 207 - Fighting Dongfang Tianyu</h4>
Long Chen and Dongfang Tianyu had been at each other’s throats since the start of the event, but no victor had been determined yet. Therefore, their duel greatly piqued the crowd’s interest.
Dongfang Tianyu was an almost peerless individual in his generation. While Long Chen’s performance was shocking, he had not reached thete Earthly Core Realm, so no one other than Dongfang Xuanxiao had any hope for him.
Dongfang Tianyu red at him like a panther, then he pounced. Long Chen’s expression did not change. Blood-red Qi swirled within his body, ready to erupt at any time tounch a powerful attack!
“Heavenly Dragon Seal!” Dongfang Tianyu quickly formed a seal, his hands leaving behind afterimages. A gust of wind along with a faint dragon image wasunched forward from his hands, whistling as it flew towards Long Chen!
“Haargh!” eximed Dongfang Tianyu. The dragon roared as it flew at Long Chen. It was a seal that contained Qi!
<i>Is that a dragon-rted seal technique? It’s stronger than the Yang family’s Primordial Dragon Seal, but ... </i>Long Chen’s eyes glinted coldly. He kicked off the ground and shot towards Dongfang Tianyu like a blood arrow!
He was now at the mid Earthly Core Realm, and his strength was multiplied by ten times due to the Dragon Soul Transformation. In terms of Qi levels, he was almost simr to Dongfang Tianyu.
Now they would bepeting against each other through martial techniques, experience, and wits. In terms of martial techniques, they both had advanced ck-tier skills, but they were vastly different in nature. Long Chen had learned the Sword Devil Finger from Ling Xi, so it was unlikely to be inferior. As for the Nine Dragon shes, it was definitely better than whatever Dongfang Tianyu was using.
“Since you’re using a dragon seal, then I shall use one too!”
While he shot forward, Long Chen unleashed the Primordial Dragon Seal. Nine blood-colored dragons merged together and formed a powerful force, colliding with Dongfang Tianyu’s Heavenly Dragon Seal!
<i>Roar!</i>
Two huge dragons collided, causing the underground room to shake. A violent energy spread in all directions, causing everyone’s clothes to p in the wind!
It was the first time they had exchanged attacks, and both of them were sent flying backwards, though Long Chen was sent further back. He stumbled several times, almost falling!
“Haha! Like I said, Long Chen is no match for Xiao Yu! Now I’ve been proven right, haven’t I?” Dongfang Tianxing was so smug that he startedughing when he saw the result, as if everything was as expected.
“That’s not right. Xiao Yu used an intermediate ck-tier martial technique. While Long Chen also attacked with some type of dragon seal, that was at most an advanced Yellow-tier technique. He used an advanced Yellow-tier technique to deal with Xiao Yu, which is ... quite difficult to achieve ...”
Dongfang Xuanyu was shocked, staring at Long Chen in a daze. Although he was stumbling, he wasn’t hurt.
The others present were wondering the same thing. Long Chen had disyed abat ability beyond his level right at the beginning of the fight, much to their disbelief.
“Although the technique was merely an advanced Yellow-tier, he hasplete mastery of it and has excellent chemistry with it. It looks like despite Long Chen’s low cultivation level, he’s a prodigy in the cultivation of martial techniques,” said the Azure Dragon Patriarch.
“I see.” The rest of them realized the significance of his statement. The Azure Dragon Patriarch rarely spoke words of praise, so if he said that Long Chen was a prodigy at cultivating martial techniques, that meant that his talent was definitely nonhuman.
This was all thanks to the mysterious dragon jade.
Long Chen and Dongfang Tianyu were locked in battle once more! “Dongfang Tianyu, looks like this is the best you can do.” Long Chen smirked andbined his Mountain Shattering Kick with the Burning Devil Sun Fist, forcing Dongfang Tianyu to stumble back. He proved to everyone once more that he definitely had the capability to fight Dongfang Tianyu head-to-head!
“Looks like you won’t admit defeat until you’re dead!” Dongfang Tianyu said coldly while stepping back, then he reached into his Universe Pouch.
“To be honest, you are indeed capable of causing me problems. But what you’re experiencing is just a small fraction of my capabilities; it’s nothing to be excited about. Now I will show you that I am on a level untouchable to you!”
Dongfang Tianyuughed and grabbed, pulling a long halberd from his Universe Pouch. It was an extraordinary halberd, being entirely fire-red with a fire-like light flowing on it. Faint sparks flew from the tip, which glinted coldly in the light. It was an eye-catching weapon.
“This is the Sun Halberd, an advanced ck-tier divine weapon. You’ve never seen anything like this before, have you? The Sun Halberd may not be the Azure Dragon Halberd, but it’s powerful enough to defeat you.”
When he saw Dongfang Tianyu taking out the Sun Halberd, he knew that it would spell trouble. He had already known that Dongfang Tianyu owned an advanced ck-tier weapon, so he was prepared. <i>Divine weapons are very useful in battle, so the Sun Halberd will definitely boost Dongfang Tianyu’s strength. If I canpletely master the Azure Dragon Halberd like how Xiang mastered the Heavenly Wolf Dagger, mybat abilities will skyrocket!</i>
Long Chen eyed the Azure Dragon Halberd greedily.
“What are you looking at? The Azure Dragon Halberd belongs to me. You can get it in hell!” Dongfang Tianyu felt like he should be a bit more decisive, seeing as the elders were watching. Without another word, he swung the Sun Halberd and charged at Long Chen!
This was Long Chen’s first time fighting against an opponent with a weapon. The weapon emitted a sharp aura that made him feel like it was constantly shing his body, causing his scalp to go numb!
Dongfang Tianyu was now two times more intimidating! “Die! Sun Halberd, Eight Golden shes!”
When he released the attack, it locked straight on to its target—Long Chen. The fiery-red Sun Halberd released eight shadows that charged at Long Chen from the top, bottom, front, back, left, and right at astonishing speeds. Every shadow attacked with force that was equivalent to an Earthly Core Realm cultivator attacking at maximum capacity!
<i>This is bad!</i>
Long Chen was irked when he saw the attacks. He had no choice but to reveal his trump card now!
“Long Chen’s finished.” When the crowd saw Dongfang Tianyu pull out the Sun Halberd, and how Long Chen had practically no way to retaliate, they were slightly resigned. Dongfang Xuanyu and the others grinned with schadenfreude. But when they saw Long Chen’s response, they froze.
He used the Nine Dragon shes!
“Is that a body technique? But can you dodge eight times in the face of the Eight Golden shes?” Dongfang Tianyu increased the force of the attack. Long Chen did not dare touch even one of them, because he knew that they were simply too powerful. Facing them directly would not bear any positive results.
“Who said I couldn’t dodge eight times?” Long Chen grinned. He charged forward, moving so fast that afterimages appeared as if he was passing through the Eight Golden shes!
“Nine Dragon shes? How is that possible? That’s the fifth consecutive sh already!” Dongfang Tianyu was shaken. Five of his attacks had beenpletely dodged; they hadn’t even harmed one hair on his foe’s body!
<i>I don’t care how talented you are! There’s no way you can perform all nine shes! The next three shes will be enough to take your life! </i>Dongfang Tianyu was enraged, and Qi erupted from his body. More des of Qi shot out from the Sun Halberd, flying towards Long Chen!
“Nine Dragon shes?” The audience eyed Dongfang Xuanxiao out of the corner of their eyes. The Nine Dragon shes had definitely been passed down to Long Chen by Dongfang Xuanxiao, and obviously not long ago. But Long Chen had already achieved such a level?
How talented was he to be able to master it so quickly?
“Seven!” At this point, Long Chen had effortlessly dodged seven attacks of the Eight Golden shes.
He made it look effortless. Meanwhile, Dongfang Tianyu despaired.
Every sh had missed its target, and now the crowd was praising Long Chen. These unconscious praises were extremely humiliating to Dongfang Tianyu! “You animal! I refuse to believe that you can dodge the eighth sh! Eight Golden shes, Tyrant sh!” This was thest attack of the Eight Golden shes. The halberd turned into arge mountain that charged at Long Chen!
“Tianyu’s attack is definitely on the level of the Heavenly Core Realm! Long Chen has already used the seventh sh of his Nine Dragon shes; I don’t believe he can continue to dodge!” Dongfang Xuanyu, despite always looking down on Long Chen, had begrudgingly admitted that he was indeed a little talented to achieve seven shes in such a short time.
The most astonished person present was Dongfang Xuanxiao. He had cultivated the Nine Dragon shes himself, so he naturally knew how difficult it was. Long Chen’s effortless and seamless use of the technique was almost on his level.
“Will he be able to dodge the Tyrant sh?”
The final sh was almost as strong as an attack from someone at the Heavenly Core Realm. If Long Chen dodged it, it would definitely cause a shockwave!
A tsunami surged through their hearts as they watched the final scene. Even the Azure Dragon Patriarch’s eyes were fixed on the duo, though mostly Long Chen!
The attack seemed to swallow the world around Long Chen, causing all his hair to stand on end. He had to admit that Dongfang Tianyu was powerful, but he, Long Chen, was no weakling either!
<i>When a body technique is used to its maximum, it’s as good as a martial technique! </i>This was what Long Chen thought. In the face of the Tyrant sh, he moved his legs once more and turned into a blur! After the seventh sh, he used the eighth and then the ninth immediately after!
Using two consecutive shes, the Tyrant sh brushed past his shoulder and sted a crater on the ground of the ancestral mausoleum. Soil flew in the air, clouding their vision!
And everyone’s faces changed.
