Chapter 268: Nine Spinning Fire Shields
Chapter 268: Nine Spinning Fire Shields
When Long Chen used the Azure Dragon Technique to attack the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch, the latter swung his halberd wildly and his Heavenly River Realm Qi exploded. The power belonging to the constellations washed over Long Chen and almost tossed him away.
Shit! Ive underestimated how strong someone at the Heavenly River Realm is! The Patriarchs Qi had the strength to move worlds. It was both sharp and mighty, and a single shockwave from it made Long Chen lose his footing; even his attacks were affected.
Fighting someone one realm above was completely different from fighting someone one stage above. Even though Long Chen and the Patriarch had an equal amount of Qi, the difference between them was immense.
Azure Dragon Technique, Split Yellow River, Shattered Skies! The Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch used the same techniques, and the power of the stars filled his halberd before the attacks were launched at Long Chen.
Die!
Bam!
Their weapons collided, creating an explosion from the sheer force of the impact. A dust storm kicked up outside of Yuanling city. The people on the city walls could hear the sound of fighting, but none of them could see what was happening.
Did someone die? Is Long Chen dead?
No! Stop squeezing, you bastard! Hey, who stole my Universe Pouch?!
What? Long Chen is dead? Thats too fast!
The sounds on the walls were much more intense than the battle.
Long Chen was facing the Patriarchs unrelenting attacks, and he had to admit that it was a hard battle. Even though Long Chen was using the Azure Dragon Technique, he was being pushed back instead of defeating the Patriarch.
You brat. You think you understand how strong the Heavenly River Realm is?
Everyone chuckled in the tower. Even Dongfang Xuanfeng was smiling. This was within his expectations.
Even though Long Chen was being pushed back, he was not afraid. This was just the beginning.
He kept using the Nine Dragon Flashes, though he had actually used it twice in a row, so it was actually eighteen flashes. Being able to use it that skillfully was proof of his talent!
With a final flash, Long Chen redirected the Patriarchs attack and attacked from the side. He was once again seizing the initiative.
Useless tricks! The Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarchs martial technique was simple, but the power of the stars that his Qi carried made his weapon slightly stronger than the Azure Dragon Halberd. Every time their weapons clashed, the Patriarch knocked away the Azure Dragon Halberd.
The victor has yet to be decided! Stop bullshitting! Long Chen roared as the Azure Dragon Halberd danced in his hands. He kept using the Nine Dragon Flashes to change his location, so even the Patriarch had to fight seriously.
Time slowly passed, and everyone was shocked to see Long Chen hold his ground for so long. They thought everything wouldve ended in a flash.
Long Chen was merely seventeen, yet he had endured every single blow from the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch! He could even fight back too. That was enough to show how much of a monster Long Chen was. Yan Danqing was indeed a genius, but he was nothing to Long Chen.
Long Chen is amazing! How long has it been since Yuanling City saw this kind of genius? From today onwards, Long Chens name would spread throughout the county. He would replace Yan Danqing as the strongest youth and would be remembered by everyone.
Everyone had a small doubt in their mind. Would Long Chen be able to defeat the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch? Things werent looking great, as the black demonic wolf had almost been killed by the Northern Black Tortoise Patriarch and his Black Tortoise Axe.
But that was because Mo Xiaolang had allowed it to happen. He hadnt used the powerful Nine Devils Ancestral Fire yet; he was merely using his demonic energy and the battle sense of the Sun Devouring Wolf. He had been chipping away at the Northern Black Tortoise Patriarchs stamina. He was one stage higher than his opponent, so it was easy for him to do so.
Long Chens fight was much more interesting.
Starsweep Dragon! Long Chen swung the Azure Dragon Halberd, aiming the Earth-tier martial technique at the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch. An instant later, the halberds tip became thousands of dragon illusions that enveloped the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch.
Ive been using Starsweep Dragon for more than ten years, and you dare to use it half-heartedly in front of me? The Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch laughed and used the same technique. Everyone could see that the Patriarchs Starsweep Dragon was much more deadly!
The weapons clashed, resulting in horrible screeching sounds. Everyone closed their ears and frowned as they spectated the battle.
Long Chen is losing! someone shouted when they saw Long Chen get blown backwards. Everyone on the city walls cheered.
The Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch smiled when he heard the crowds reaction. He lifted his halberd and ran towards Long Chen. Brat, time to die!
The Patriarch gathered all of his Qi. His body was like a glowing torch.
His body was a blur as he stabbed his halberd onto the ground. Then he dragged it across the ground, sending sparks flying as his Heavenly River Realm Qi coursed through the halberd.
Let me show you the strongest technique contained within the Azure Dragon Halberd, and also the secret technique known only to the Patriarchs of each generation.
He swung the halberd upwards, and the sound of dragon roaring was heard. A massive Azure Dragon illusion soared skyward and launched itself at Long Chen.
Azure Dragon Technique, Nine Heavens Dragon Ascension.
Long Chen was familiar with the technique and had used it once himself, but the Patriarchs version was several times stronger than his. It was just like the difference between their Starsweep Dragon.
When the Patriarch used the technique, everyone shouted and felt sad, assuming that Long Chen would be killed.
The strength of the technique made everyone on the walls feel their scalps go numb.
You think the Nine Heavens Dragon Ascension is the strongest technique? Long Chen knew there was one more technique, but he wasnt sure if he could use it. That particular technique was the true strongest technique of the Azure Dragon Technique.
But the Nine Heavens Dragon Ascension of the Patriarch was right in front of him. Would he die from that?
When the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch used that technique, those who had gone into the ruins knew that Long Chen had cultivated it too. They thought Long Chen would use the same technique to counter it, but he chose to retreat instead!
Long Chen knew that if he took it head-on, he would be blown back and would probably get his internal organs crushed. Instead, he let go of the Azure Dragon Halberd when the attack closed in.
Hes committing suicide!
Everyone was shocked. Even though he could not fight back, he should at least try, right?
But the spectators knew something was wrong when they saw the Ninth Prince sit up and look at the fight in puzzlement. The Ninth Prince knew that Long Chen had one more trick up his sleeve by looking at Long Chens fierce eyes.
When everyone thought Long Chen was seeking death, Long Chen placed both hands in front of his chest and started spinning it in a circle. It was initially slow, but Long Chens arms sped up and were soon a blur. Qi poured out of his hands, and under his control, the Qi spun and slowly formed a whirlpool.
Nine Spinning Fire Shields, first rotation! Long Chen whispered, his eyes lighting up.
The whirlpool made from Qi was completed and then exploded, forming a blazing shield two meters in diameter, completely blocking his front.
Second rotation!
It spun rapidly, and once it completed another rotation, the color of the flames became darker! When the Nine Heavens Dragon Ascension was just in front of him, Long Chen poured all the power he could into it.
Nine Spinning Fire Shields, sixth rotation!
Long Chen had only managed to cultivate up to the sixth rotation within ten days, but since it was an intermediate Earth-tier martial techniqueand an excellent one at thatit was more than enough to defend against the Nine Heavens Dragon Ascension.
But his technique caught the Ninth Princes eyes, and the latter stood up. When he saw that it was clearly the Nine Spinning Fire Shields, he squinted and thought about something. At the same time, Yan Danqing was also shocked and looked at the Ninth Prince. But the Ninth Prince completely ignored him, and there was nothing he could do. Even though he had reattached his arm, his trauma was still there.
How did Long Chen cultivate the Nine Spinning Fire Shields? Both the Ninth Prince and Yan Danqing had the same question, but Yan Danqing was the one who was concerned the most. His eyes were bloodshot.
The Ninth Prince said that if Long Chend defeated the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch, he would give him the position of Immortal Guard. It seems that the Ninth Prince is indeed protecting him and even gifted him the Nine Spinning Fire Shield! Its clear that the Prince doesn't want me to become an Immortal Guard. Why did Long Chen get the inheritance I fought so hard for?
Yan Danqing was resentful and was close to collapsing from jealousy. He felt like everything he had worked so hard for had been given to someone else. He wanted to kill everyone!
But he couldnt. The Ninth Princes status and power were leagues above him, so he could do nothing. All he could do was hate Long Chen even more.
The crowd cheered wildly outside.
