Chapter 427 - Battle Against The Sword Emperor

To Xiaolang, killing the Sword Emperor was the only way to complete his revenge for the massacre of his family. Xiaolang was considered kind in the martial world. He only wanted to kill the Sword Emperor even though the entire imperial family had a hand in killing his family.

Xiaolang and Long Chen had decided to fight together because they weren’t sure if Xiaolang alone could handle it.

Long Chen noticed that the number of people was increasing. They not only wanted to watch him fight the Sword Emperor, they also wanted to catch a glimpse of the legend himself. However, due to the distance, only stronger cultivators with good eyesight could see Long Chen’s face clearly.

“To think the rumored Long Chen is so young. He’s a legend in the Cangyang Kingdom. Too bad he’s from the Heavenly Demon Palace and is doomed to fight against the imperial family ...”

“Of course. Did you think that the person who killed the Fourth Prince would be normal? I even heard that he killed the Sword Demon. Two of the three strongest individuals in the imperial family are dead. The only one left is the Sword Emperor.”

“Are you joking? Do you think the Sword Emperor would lose to him?”

“Oh, my mistake. I never said anything of the sort.” Everyone started discussing amongst themselves on the city wall.

Everyone shuddered with anticipation when the gate finally opened and a group of people walked out. They were the strongest cultivators of the Cangyang Kingdom, and the golden-eyed Sword Emperor was at the forefront. Everyone cheered when they saw him.

But not all of them were earnest in supporting the Sword Emperor. It was just because they lived in the capital and had no choice but to show support. They would not feel sad if the Sword Emperor lost.

Long Chen saw the two golden lights when the city gate was opened. The lights felt like swords poking holes into his skin. To think that the gaze of the Sword Emperor was capable of achieving something like this!

“Xiao Xi, do you see his eyes? I think they were different from the ones I saw before.” Long Chen was confused because the Sword Emperor’s eyes were black during that night, and his presence was not as domineering as it was today.

“That’s so strange.” Ling Xi shook her head with confusion. “Half of the Sword Emperor’s soul is missing, and I don’t know where it is. I think the one we saw before was missing a half too, but that missing half is inside the Emperor in front of us!” Ling Xi thought she was seeing things.

Long Chen didn’t understand what she meant.

“It’s fine, we don’t have to think about it too much. We just need to defeat him! Xiao Xi, I will fulfill my promise. From here onwards, I will do my best to defeat him and get the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit.” Long Chen was itching to fight.

“Oh ...” Ling Xi knew that there was no turning back now that Long Chen was here. She could only hope for the best. She also knew that Long Chen would never be satisfied living with her in her current state, and he would do whatever he could to restore her physical body.

Unfortunately, Long Chen was born in a low-tier kingdom even though his talent was unheard of. Despite the fact that he had grown into the strongest individual in the Cangyang Kingdom in just a single year, there was no chance he would win against her family in the end.

Ling Xi knew the gap between his strength and that of her family. She loved Long Chen, but she also knew how impossible their love was.

She said nothing to Long Chen, choosing to watch his fight silently. His opponent would be the Sword Emperor, an opponent significantly stronger than the Dark Moon Tiger.

“You finally came out? You are such a slowpoke. I thought you were napping.” Long Chen was not worried even though he was facing a lot of pressure. Even the people were impressed by how relaxed he was.

The Sword Emperor didn’t respond; he merely told his consorts to go back. He looked at Long Chen with a calm gaze and walked out of the city. One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters—he finally stopped twenty meters away from Long Chen. Everyone was tense, wondering what was going to happen next.

The result of this fight would affect the Cangyang Kingdom for years.

All of them watched carefully, afraid to miss even the tiniest detail.

The Sword Emperor stood still as he looked at Long Chen. “I went to Zhao Qingyun two months ago and asked to fight him to the death, but he told me that my opponent would be you. I asked if he was joking, but he wasn’t. I trusted him and waited till this day. You killed two of my sons and even my brother, but I did not touch your family and your master all because I respect your potential. I hope you at least put up a good fight today. I will kill your family and friends if I’m not satisfied.”

Long Chen waited for him to finish.

“Relax. I will kill you today. I spent two months preparing for this. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.” Long Chen didn’t step back at all.

Their voices traveled a long distance across the plains, so many people heard what they had said. The Sword Emperor did indeed respect Long Chen to a certain degree.

Only Long Chen knew that the Sword Emperor’s grudge against him was almost as strong as Xiaolang’s grudge against the Sword Emperor.

“I heard that your sworn brother was a member of a family I destroyed. I checked the records and saw that there was indeed one of them that escaped, Mo Xiaolang. The reports that he didn’t come out of the Burning Heaven Secret Realm. To think that the final bastard of the Mo family is dead. Such a shame.” The Sword Emperor sighed and shook his head. Long Chen was angry at how nonchalant the Sword Emperor was.

“The imperial family will suffer the same fate. I will kill you and Lin Batian. The other weaklings are too worthless for me to do anything. Do you know how Lin Cangtian died in my hands? I burned him alive. Do you know how Lin Zichen died? I cut him in half!” Long Chen scoffed, as if killing the princes had been easy tasks.

The Sword Emperor’s body shuddered and killing intent leaked out.

What strange eyes ... Long Chen became wary of his foe’s eyes.

The spectators were listening to every word. They knew that the battle was going to start the moment the Sword Emperor allowed his killing intent to leak.

The Sword Emperor took one step, and a gust blew towards Long Chen. The gust grew into a whirlwind until even the tough soil staining the city wall was blown away.

“Xiaolang!” Long Chen shouted, and they immediately executed their plan. They split apart and ran towards the Sword Emperor from two directions. Long Chen needed to use all of his cards immediately against an enemy like the Sword Emperor, especially his Dragon Soul Transformation and the Demon Seed Planting Technique. After his Qi multiplied, it surged through his body and the eighteen starry rivers. Long Chen’s Qi exploded out of his body!

Xiaolang also used the Demon Seed Planting Technique, and his strength reached the border of the Heavenly Passage Realm. He could now use even more of his Nine Devil Ancestral Fire.

The Sword Emperor was slightly taken back when both Long Chen and Xiaolang finished transforming. He was first shocked by Long Chen’s transformation.

“I’ve heard that your transformation is very strong, but to think it could reach this state! You have almost as much Qi as a Heavenly Passage Realm cultivator when you use the Demon Seed Planting Technique. No wonder Lin Zichen lost to you and Zhao Qingyun said you would be my opponent.”

He was then taken aback by Xiaolang’s Demon Seed Planting Technique.

“What! How can a demonic beast cultivate the Demon Seed Planting Technique?! What kind of beast is it?” Xiaolang surpassed the Sword Emperor’s common sense. He had always been confident in his knowledge, but Xiaolang was too much of an irregularity.

The people on the city walls heard what the Sword Emperor had said.

“DId I hear that right? Long Chen is already as strong as a Heavenly Passage Realm cultivator? And the beast can use the Demon Seed Planting Technique? What kind of monstrous duo are they?”

“Well, we can’t be sure of that. We don’t even know how strong Long Chen is exactly. We should just wait and see. The Sword Emperor is definitely surprised, but he’s not retreating. That means he’s confident in defeating Long Chen.”
