Chapter 213 - Comet Dragon Seal
Chapter 213 - Comet Dragon Seal
A broken teacup would’ve garnered everyone’s attention under normal circumstances, but no one paid attention to it. Everyone was in disbelief when they saw the ancient energy radiating from Long Chen’s hands.
Dongfang Xuanyu, who had been laughing the loudest, froze in shock. Her mouth was wide open, and she didn’t know how ugly she looked. But that was not important compared to what was happening to Long Chen.
Was it an illusion?
Everyone rubbed their eyes in disbelief, but that didn’t change the reality before them. Long Chen was using the Azure Dragon Halberd’s Azure Dragon Combat Technique to fight against Dongfang Tianxing!
“This ... This is impossible!” Dongfang Xuanyu was not crying, but her face looked worse than that. Everyone else was feeling the same too. Was Long Chen some kind of god? How had he mastered it in just five days?
Dongfang Tianxuan, who had been standing behind Dongfang Xuanyun, was in disbelief too. She had twisted her brain inside and out for ten days just to try to comprehend the Azure Dragon Halberd, yet she had failed. Long Chen didn’t have the Eastern Azure Family bloodline and yet he had succeeded in such a short amount of time?
Maybe he’s a genius beyond our understanding, but his cultivation level is still low ... Even the calm Dongfang Tianxuan was shocked, much less the others.
The spectators who had been cheering were suddenly quiet when Long Chen used the power of the Azure Dragon Halberd.
Dongfang Tianxing was currently the one facing the brunt of its ancient power. He had been joking and taunting his opponent. He had never expected Long Chen to have comprehended the Azure Dragon Combat Technique!
Dongfang Tianxing was confused and his mind in shambles, but he had no more time to think when he sensed the immense aura emanating from Long Chen. It was clear Long Chen wanted to decide the winner in a single blow. Dongfang Tianxing gathered all of his Qi and even pushed his limits to condense it in his body. He was about to unleash his strongest technique, the Comet Dragon Seal.
Long Chen was gripping the Azure Dragon tightly and felt the pulses coming from it. He felt like the weapon was part of his body when he twirled it around. The dragon soul within the halberd was connected to his soul and bloodline, so the weapon had turned into another source of power in addition to his own dantian.
My strength skyrockets when I use the halberd. It makes me as strong as when I use the Dragon Soul Transformation. What can I do to not return this?
Long Chen was bitter about having to give it back, because he really loved the halberd. But the priority right now was to defeat Dongfang Tianxing. Dongfang Tianxing was one of the weakest in his age group, but he was still at the Heavenly Core Realm, meaning he was at least several times stronger than Long Chen. If Long Chen didn’t have the Azure Dragon Halberd, he would’ve never fought against him.Long Chen had just assumed his dragon form. His blood-red scales and the azure scales on the halberd were similar, making everyone think that the Azure Dragon Halberd was made for Long Chen and was part of him!
I need to use all of my strength! Long Chen did not want to waste his time with Dongfang Tianxing. Since Dongfang Tianxing tried to lay his hands on Yin Mengyao, he wanted to teach him a serious lesson and also test out the waters with the Azure Dragon Halberd.
The Comet Dragon Seal was the Eastern Azure Dragon family’s strongest Black-tier martial technique, second only to the Azure Dragon Combat Technique. Long Chen leaped up, and the Azure Dragon Halberd shimmered like an illusion before crashing down.
Everyone was shocked to the core when they saw the tip of the halberd turn into an illusion of a massive, azure dragon. The dragon looked extremely realistic and covered the heavens. It roared and crashed down on Dongfang Tianxing like a massive blade.
“Azure Dragon Combat Technique, Split Yellow River!”
The massive pressure exuded from the attack made Dongfang Tianxing realize that he was in danger. He felt an insurmountable pressure pushing him downwards like a mountain. His instincts told him that if he didn’t move, he would die.
Getting killed by Long Chen? This was not something he would ever think of even if he was dreaming.
He circulated his Qi even faster. When Long Chen’s attack approached him, he channeled all of his strength to his feet and leaped towards Long Chen.
He quickly formed the necessary hand seals, and a hazy dragon illusion appeared on his fingers. A small Azure Dragon mark appeared on his forehead, similar to the Vermillion Bird mark. With it, he could squeeze out even more power!
“Die! Comet Dragon Seal!”
Dongfang Tianxing released his attack the moment his seal was completed. A dragon-shaped seal made of starlight flew towards Long Chen’s attack. Everyone held their breath when they saw that the attacks were about to collide.
Boom! Crack!
The shockwave from the clash exploded everywhere, kicking up a massive gust and blowing up a dust storm.
“Is that it?” Long Chen smiled coldly. No wonder the Azure Dragon Halberd and the Azure Dragon Combat Technique became the keystone that dictated the survival of the Eastern Azure Dragon family. The Comet Dragon Seal is not its match!
“The strength of the Azure Dragon Halberd is not something you can win against!” Long Chen howled, and the mighty energy transformed into a sharpness the rended the skies. Another illusion of an Azure Dragon appeared on the tip of the halberd and shrouded the Comet Dragon Seal before ripping it in half.
The remaining energy fell downwards onto Dongfang Tianxing. If he was hit by that attack, he would be split in half!
Amongst the crowd, only Dongfang Xuanxiao was in a state of mind to understand what was going on. Even Dongfang Xuanyu hadn’t snapped out of it. She had failed to recognize that her son had lost and was on the verge of death.
Dongfang Xuanxiao disappeared from his chair and reappeared on the stage. Dongfang Tianxing caught the Azure Dragon Halberd and redirected the attack, but he was curious as to why the attack was weaker than he thought.
“Wait, can you use Split Yellow River at will?” The reason why he felt like the attack was weak was because Long Chen had already stopped attacking. Dongfang Xuanxiao’s interference had been unnecessary, because Long Chen never planned on killing Dongfang Tianxing.
Dongfang Xuanxiao was beyond surprised. Not only had Long Chen cultivated the Azure Dragon Combat Technique and was capable of flawlessly executing Split Yellow River, he could even control it as he wished. How was this possible?
Even Dongfang Tianchen, who could barely use the Earth-tier martial technique Starsweep Dragon, could not control Split Yellow River as he wished.
“Somewhat,” Long Chen answered casually. He had expected to win, so he was very relaxed. The Azure Dragon Halberd was beyond his expectations—it had allowed him to defeat someone at the initial Heavenly Core Realm with ease.
But that was also because Dongfang Tianxing was the weaker one. It might not have been the same if the one he was fighting had been Dongfang Tianxuan.
Dongfang Xuanxiao almost fell down when he heard Long Chen say “somewhat.”
As for the others, they gradually recovered from the shock when they saw what had happened. They realized painfully that they were inadequate. There was never a shortage of geniuses in the Eastern Azure Dragon family, but seeing a genius of Long Chen’s caliber made them feel uneasy. They realized that Dongfang Xuanxiao was not only good at cultivation, but his eyes were so accurate that he could choose Long Chen out of the tens of thousands of people in the outer family. What kind of insight did he possess to be able to do so?
Even Dongfang Xuanfeng and Dongfang Xuanyun were somewhat jealous of Long Chen’s ridiculous talent. As for Dongfang Xuanyu, she was stuck in the defeat of her son. She was both angry and sad at the same time.
“Tianxing!” Dongfang Xuanyu ignored everyone and ran towards the stage. Her son’s face was pale and his hands were trembling when she held him.
Seeing how bad her son looked, Dongfang Xuanyu felt pain in her heart. Everything was Long Chen’s fault. She turned around and glared at Long Chen. “Long Chen, you damned bastard. You ruined everything! How dare you show up out of nowhere and stir up trouble in the Eastern Azure Dragon family! I will-”
“You will what?” Dongfang Xuanxiao shouted, interrupting her. His aura enveloped her, and his tone was ice-cold as he said, “Let me remind you again. Long Chen has prayed to our ancestors and is now a part of our family! He’s not an outsider! As for the duel today, both of them agreed to it. Long Chen also didn’t harm your son! If you tarnish our reputation again, I will not hold back!”
Dongfang Xuanxiao did not care about preserving Dongfang Xuanyu’s dignity in public, causing her eyes to twitch in anger. Her beautiful face was red from fury, and she didn’t know how to respond to him. Dongfang Xuanfeng appeared beside her and said plainly, “Shut up and don’t embarrass us. Today’s issue ends here and now. Everyone, return!”
Dongfang Xuanfeng’s face was gloomy when he said that. Dongfang Xuanxiao said nothing and left with Long Chen and Yin Mengyao.
“Xuanxiao, you will die soon!” Dongfang Xuanyu shouted behind their backs.
Die? Long Chen had a bad feeling.
