Chapter 677 – Return of the King
However, even the current most powerful member of the Long family, Long Yue, could not block this hit!
The might of their enemy made them feel utterly helpless!
“Grandfather!” Zhao Danchen’s viciousness terrified the Dragon clan. Long Yue and the others shouted and quickly rushed in the Ancient Demon Corpse’s direction. Then the whole place descended into chaos. When Zhao Danchen saw this, he smirked while all the Martial Saints and Martial Kings behind him clenched their fists. The time for them to make a contribution to the Martial Alliance and Zhao Danchen had come.
Not only Long Shan, but everyone not on the Martial Alliance’s side had to die today!
“Long Chen, I want to see whether you’ll show up after I’ve killed everyone here!”
Zhao Danchen roared with laughter.
The other Long Chen, who was once known as the other prodigy on the same level as Zhao Danchen, was now far weaker than him. He knew that the Long Chen Zhao Danchen had mentioned was not him.
At this moment, Long Yue and Long Chen attacked first. Their grandfather was in mortal danger, so they could not sit and watch even though death was certain!
But so what? They were just increasing the number of casualties here.
The Martial Alliance had the advantage in this chaotic battle, as they had Zhao Danchen and the Ancient Demon Corpse, who were the absolute masters here. Next to him, he had Feng Xuan. No matter what, the Dragon clan stood no chance.
Despair was written all over every face. They knew there was no other way, and death was the only escape. This triggered the survival instincts in all of them. Despite the disadvantage, they dared to attack the Martial Alliance. This proved that they did not fear death at all!
If they died, they had to make the enemy pay for it!
Long Shan was in the most danger out of all of them. The Ancient Demon Corpse was about to kill him, but he lacked essence, so he could not fight back!
Resignation! All he felt was resignation!
When he left the Nine Spirit Purgatory, he initially thought he could help his descendants do something. He never expected to end up in such a hopeless situation!
Since he could not fight back, Long Shan closed his eyes and waited for death to arrive.
When Long Yue and the others saw this, their eyes widened with terror!
Just then, a sudden roar erupted! “Stop it, Zhao Danchen!”
Everyone present felt dizzy from the deafening roar, which boomed in their ears. They even started to lose their hearing!
The voice started from far away, but by the end of the sentence, its owner seemed to be very close!
Zhao Danchen was startled and quickly looked to the south!
He was all too familiar with that voice, because it belonged to Long Chen!
It was indeed Long Chen! A young man rushed out of the dense forest and threw a weapon, which flew like an arrow at the Ancient Demon Corpse and pierced its arm!
Although it could not cause much damage, Long Chen’s attack made its arm deviate from its initial arc, brushing past Long Shan so it did not hurt him.
Long Chen had managed to save Long Shan at the last possible moment through precise control of his strength. He ran extremely quickly, and Zhao Danchen stopped controlling the Ancient Demon Corpse. That was why Long Chen had enough time to reach Long Shan and save him!
Long Shan was on the brink of death.
“Everyone, back off!” Long Chen yelled at the crowd, who were ready to fight for their lives. The distance between the Martial Alliance and the Dragon clan slowly increased due to Long Chen’s control.
The Martial Alliance members had been rubbing their fists and palms in preparation for war. However, Long Chen’s appearance had interrupted the fire that burned in them, leaving them frustrated. Some of them had not even seen Long Chen before, so they did not recognize him!
The only people who were glaring venomously at Long Chen were Zhao Danchen and Feng Xuan!
Zhao Danchen was overwhelmed by emotion when he saw his nemesis, even forgetting to kill Long Shan. To him, Long Shan was merely old trash, but Long Chen represented the greatest humiliation of his life. When Long Chen showed up, he was the only one in Zhao Danchen‘s eyes!
Although Long Chen had saved Long Shan, Zhao Danchen did not react. His eyes were fixed on Long Chen, and violence brewed in them.
Feng Xuan also took a few steps forward, eyeing Long Chen up and down.
The other people of the Martial Alliance did not dare attack, as Zhao Danchen had not given the command.
Long Chen had the Dragon clan and the rest stand behind him. Ever since he heard the news that the Martial Alliance was going to attack the Battle clan, he rushed here as fast as he could. It had actually happened, and fortunately, he had arrived just in time. If not, this would have descended into a terrible tragedy.
If he was a day late, a river of blood would be flowing.
Then it would’ve been too late to even feel remorse.
When the crowd saw that it was Long Chen, they were filled with complex emotions. They were happy that the missing Long Chen returned safely, but he was back at the wrong time.
The usually calm Long Yue lost her cool and yelled in panic, “Seventh Brother, why did you come back now?! We’re all going to die here today! If you had continued getting stronger, you could have avenged us some other time! Now we’re all going to die here ...”
“Yeah, Seventh Brother! Why did you come now?! You have huge potential, and you could have avenged us! Now that you’re here, we’re all just going to die.” All his other older siblings looked at him with pity.
They initially had one ray of hope because Long Chen was still alive, and he would surely make Zhao Danchen suffer in the future. However, he was back now. With the hatred Zhao Danchen felt towards him, would he let Long Chen live?
Of course not!
It would’ve been fine if Long Chen hadn’t returned. They would’ve fought as hard as they could, then died if it came to that. But now that Long Chen was back, they were even sadder. Their last hope was gone. Looking at their young Seventh Brother, their hearts were filled with bitterness.
“They are just too strong. Even Zhao Danchen has reached the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage. I’m afraid we’re all going to die here today,” said Long Shan, shaking his head. His injuries were worsening. Even with medicine, he probably wouldn’t be able to live long.
Everyone surrounded Long Chen and lamented pitifully.
Long Chen furrowed his brows, not listening to them. He looked at Zhao Danchen. Indeed, he was different from before.
When Long Chen had reached the Third Earthly Martial Stage, Zhao Danchen had advanced to the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage, so he was one level above Long Chen!
With his other supporting factors, it was no wonder they were saying that everyone was going to die.
Long Chen did not think they were cowards; it was normal to feel these things in front of absolute power. They were not afraid of death, but they wanted to make the Martial Alliance pay.
Long Chen’s return had dampened the Dragon clan’s spirit greatly.
These people hoped Long Chen would avenge them one day, but now he was going to die with them ...
Indeed, after Long Chen appeared, Zhao Danchen and Feng Xuan’s attention were completely attracted to him.
“Long Chen, get over here. I lost to you in front of the Ancient Demon Domain. This time, I want to show you what a true prodigy is!” Zhao Danchen said coldly, pointing at Long Chen mockingly.
“You think you can redeem yourself?” Long Chen laughed and turned to walk towards Zhao Danchen confidently, which surprised everyone, especially the Dragon clan. Long Yue quickly pulled him back and said anxiously, “Seventh Brother, we’ll cover for you. You have great potential. Escape now and return to take revenge for us in the future, alright?”
Everyone agreed with this idea.
Long Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. “You want me to run from battle and abandon my siblings? Don’t you already know that that’s not my style? Do you want me to be an untrustworthy coward?”
“No, Seventh Brother. Don’t think that way. It is enough for us to die here. You’re most suited to take revenge for us. I also believe that you will become the Martial Alliance’s nightmare!” Everyone chipped in.
After Long Chen heard them, he fell silent for a while, then he gave a small smile. He gently pushed away Long Yue’s hands and said, “The people who once lost to me have never been able to redeem themselves, because I am advancing at a speed that far surpasses them.”
Then he turned towards Zhao Danchen, leaving Long Yue and the rest behind, stunned. After a long time, she said weakly, “Seventh Brother is still so stubborn. How could we ever convince him?”
No one could do a thing.
“Perhaps we can believe in him. He has always done the impossible anyway,” said Lan Ling’er. She and Long Chen were close in age and had a great relationship, so she knew him better.
All they could do was nod and watch.
Long Chen faced the large Martial Alliance army alone and without fear. In fact, there was still a carefree smile on the corner of his mouth. His gaze swept across the group, then it finally fell on Zhao Danchen and Feng Xuan.
