Chapter 579: Golden Warlord Spear
Long Chen was speechless.
It appeared that Huangfu Qi didn’t really like her cousin.
There was no reason for Long Chen to hold back now.
The side palace was large and there was enough empty space in the middle for them to spar. Huangfu Yu stood on the opposite side and looked past Long Chen to address Huangfu Fengchen. “Patriarch, I hope you will honor your words. If I defeat him, you will give me the Willow Step.”
“A gentleman always keeps his word.”
Huangfu Yu was satisfied and smiled evilly. He raised his spear and slammed it onto the ground, causing the sound of screeching metal to reach Long Chen’s ears.
“You are lucky enough to spar with the strongest youth of the Huangfu family. Just show me any technique you have and let me see whether you are as strong as the rumors say!”
“Is that so? Then I won’t hold back.”“You won’t have the chance to–”
He was cut off when Long Chen became a blur and appeared in front of him the next instant.
Fast! Huangfu Yu immediately raised his guard after seeing how fast Long Chen was. He quickly retreated and stabbed his spear forward. The spear snaked around the air like a soaring dragon.
A piercing sound exploded, and the spear appeared in front of Long Chen. It was a strong attack being used by an expert at the Earthly Martial Stage.
The essence of an Earthly Martial Realm expert filled the spear, so the explosive strength was immense.
Every time the spear stabbed forward, the air was ripped apart to the point that even space itself warped a little. When Long Chen heard the explosive sound coming from the spear, he knew that Huangfu Yu was actually really strong even though he was very arrogant.
“Is that all you got?” Long Chen only needed to dodge faster if the spear was fast. As the spear stabbed forward, Long Chen quickly caught it with his quick reaction speed.
Huangfu Yu immediately rotated his body with both hands on the spear. That force was enough to make Long Chen lose his grip on the spear, but Long Chen chuckled. “Idiot. Who wants your spear?”
When Huangfu Yu twisted his body, Long Chen let go and almost made him fall down.
One had to remain rational during a fight.
Long Chen’s battle sense has been honed to a frightening degree thanks to all the fights he had gone through. The moment Huangfu Yu lost his balance, Long Chen launched himself forward and punched him.
Flames suddenly appeared on his fist.
“What is that?!” Huangfu Yu was shocked to see that. To him, rather than a fist, it was more like a golden bird flying towards him.
The fire was hard to protect himself against.
Danger. Huangfu Yu realized that he was in danger and stopped looking down on Long Chen, but he still refused to acknowledge him. He quickly spun the spear and formed a large shield with his essence.
“Golden Warlord Shield.”
It was a rare defensive technique. Long Chen recalled how he had the Nine Spinning Fire Shield.
Huangfu Yu clearly intended to use the Golden Warlord Shield to take on Long Chen’s punch. But Long Chen quickly turned his hands when he got close, and a fiery shield appeared in his hand.
The Nine Spinning Fire Shield had undergone a transformation. With Long Chen using the Golden Crow soul remnants, the blood-red shield was clearly stronger than before.
But there was a limit to how strong a technique could get. Even the soul remnants couldn’t increase the strength of the Nine Spinning Fire Shield too much. Long Chen also had Divine Fire Clones, but he didn’t have that many Golden Crow Flames.
This time, he used the Nine Spinning Fire Shield as an offensive technique. It crashed into the Golden Warlord Shield. One was attacking while the other was defending, so it was clear who won. Long Chen sent Huangfu Yu rolling on the ground. Huangfu Yu hastily stood up.
Long Chen, on the other hand, was only pushed back a few steps.
“Hahaha!” Huangfu Qi laughed out loud. “The donkey is rolling on the ground.”
Everyone except for Huangu Yu and Huangfu Fengyun was smiling and laughing.
“Little Yu, don’t look down on him. He’s not as strong, but he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve,” Huangfu Fengyun told his son. Even though he knew Long Chen was stronger, he couldn’t discourage his son right here.
Huangfu Yu was not at all intimidated by Long Chen, but he couldn’t forget how humiliating it was to be sent rolling by Long Chen’s punch. He had always been undefeated and had never once rolled on the ground after getting hit.
“You bastard!” Huangfu Yu was angry after seeing Long Chen’s taunting smile. “Your attacks are weak! Let me show you how strong my family’s Warlord Spear Technique is!”
He swung his spear around and got faster and faster. Huangfu Yu got so fast that rather than swinging a spear, he was swinging a golden light.
Long Chen felt the pressure coming from him.
Huangfu Yu suddenly charged forward and became a golden light, instantly appearing in front of Long Chen.
“Warlord Spear Technique, Sun Piercing Ray!”
The Warlord Spear Technique was the strongest offensive technique of the Huangfu family. When Huangfu Yu used it, Long Chen felt the entire side palace tremble.
Horrifying.
But he wasn’t afraid.
He smiled when he saw the spear approaching him. He splayed his palm out and curled his fingers like a claw. Eerie red flames lit up on his claw.
Huangfu Yu was stronger than the Eagle Martial King thanks to his Warlord Spear Technique, but Long Chen could easily deal with it. He had killed the Eagle Martial King using the Golden Crow’s soul remnants while he was only at the Ninth Passage Stage after all.
When Huangfu Yu unleashed his technique, Long Chen used his too. He suddenly sprung forward like a coiled dragon. Long Chen transformed into an illusory Red Dragon as he pounced towards Huangfu Yu.
Roar!
A dragon’s howl could be heard in the side palace as the blood-red dragon crashed into the Golden Warlord Spear. The blood-red fire flared up from the impact.
A horrifying screeching sound echoed through the side palace. Even Huangfu Qi covered her ears in pain. She watched the golden spear and the blood-red dragon claws clash again and again.
“Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw.” Huangfu Fengchen was shocked. He didn’t know how to use it when we left the Divine Fire Realm. Does that mean Long Yue gave him the manual and he actually cultivated it in just ten days?!
Huangfu Fengchen couldn’t calm down when he realized this.
Genius! He’s a true genius! He only took five days to advance into the Earthly Martial Realm. He then cultivated the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw, a technique that others would take several months to a year to cultivate, in ten days! Compared to Little Yu, Long Chen is the true monster here. Zhao Danchen could never be compared to Long Chen!
Long Chen should be part of Long Yue’s family, and their ancestor was the one who rescued the Divine Martial Empire. The Huangfu family also benefited from the protection given by that hero in ancient times. The Long family’s ancestor was the strongest person in all Ten Divine Empires. Is Long Chen going to be the one who will revive the Long’s family glory?
Huangfu Fengchen thought quickly.
This was the first time Long Chen had used the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw, and he hadn’t even transformed. He had only used the basic technique, but even so, he had five times more essence than Huangfu Yu despite not transforming. He even had the Golden Crow’s soul remnants, so Huangfu Yu could never win against him.
