Chapter 261 - Peak Essence Beast
Everyone was speechless at Long Chen’s behavior. Everyone thought he had died when he entered the fire, but not only had he survived, he was now looking to die again.
“Are you looking down on me just because you managed to defeat Li Ziling?” Yan Danqing smiled plainly. He was the biggest winner today and he was the strongest youth in Yuanling City. To think Long Chen would dare to point the Azure Dragon Halberd at him.
But Long Chen ignored his taunt and walked to the center of the plaza. He taunted Yan Danqing again. “Yan Danqing, come here! I won’t let you take what belongs to me!”
“What belongs to you?” Yan Danqing knew if he didn’t use his strongest technique to defeat Long Chen after his taunts, he would lose face.
He slowly approached Long Chen and chuckled. “Brat, you think the steel plate and the inheritance belong to you?”
The mysterious steel plate was taken from the mouth of the Sun Devouring Wolf.
“Of course.” The mysterious steel plate was what Mo Xiaolang had prepared for Long Chen, but Yan Danqing had taken advantage of the situation and grabbed it.
Long Chen’s answer made everyone laugh. Only the youths from the Lingwu family were left feeling ashamed by Long Chen’s words. Dongfang Tianxuan and Ximen Xiaodie looked at each other and sighed. Ximen Xiaodie even spat at Long Chen.
“Is Long Chen’s brain fried? Yan Danqing has become the inheritor of the Burning Heaven Emperor. We are just waiting for the Ninth Prince to open up the gate, and Long Chen still thinks he has a chance?”
All of the youths from the Lingwu family were thinking the same thing.
As for the Beast Soul Palace, the youths wanted Yan Danqing to pulverize Long Chen.
Yan Danqing’s Qi surged, and he shouted, “See, they want me to beat you to a pulp. I suppose I have no choice!”
He became a whirlwind and ran at Long Chen, his body nothing but a blur.
“First Stage Heavy Blow!”
A strong punch rapidly approached Long Chen. Even though it looked plain, the attack was exceedingly destructive.
“Azure Dragon Technique, Split Yellow River and Shattered Skies!”
Long Chen waved the Azure Dragon Halberd around. Not only did he block Yan Danqing’s attack, he even managed to land a hit, sending Yan Danqing flying backwards. Yan Danqing wasn’t injured, but he felt embarrassed from being sent flying.
“I’ve heard that you are strong but stupid. Since you want to die, I will fulfill your wish! Long Chen, let me show you the strength of a Peak Essence Beast before you die. Consider it an honor.”
Yan Danqing realized that Long Chen would not be simple to defeat, so he decided to use his strongest form.
“Peak Essence Beast, Beast Soul Transformation!”
When Yan Danqing said that, his body expanded and his muscles grew larger. White fur sprouted all over his body and sharp claws grew from his four limbs.
Long Chen was slightly stunned at the appearance of the three-meter-tall humanoid beast. Yan Danqing looked like a white, ape-like demonic beast. Judging from how terrifying he looked, it was clear that the Peak Essence Beast was at the apex of its food chain. Its attack, speed, and defense were clearly very exceptional.
After transforming, Yan Danqing stared at Long Chen with his jade-green eyes, not moving an inch. His breathing was ragged, exhausting white mist from his nostrils. Yan Danqing’s prince-like appearance had changed into a barbaric-looking white ape. Long Chen could not hold it in and burst out laughing.
“Is this your Beast Soul Transformation? The Peak Essence Beast? You became a giant gorilla? I think you look fucking ugly.”
Long Chen’s shrill laugh made Yan Danqing’s eyes go bloodshot. This was the first time someone had told him he was ugly. Everyone else thought Long Chen was stupid for making fun of Yan Danqing’s appearance.
“Die!” Yan Danqing roared, stomping the ground. The entire plaza shook. It was clear that the Peak Essence Beast was very strong.
Even though he looked ugly, he was a frightening foe! Yan Danqing ran towards Long Chen, the ground shaking under his feet. His ragged and hot breath soon reached Long Chen. Yan Danqing’s three-meter-tall body and arms thicker than Long Chen’s waist were incredible!
“Beast Soul Transformation? Do you think you're the only one who can transform?”
Long Chen chuckled, then he changed into his dragon form. Blood-red scales covered his body, and the sharp bone spikes made him look much better than Yan Danqing’s transformation.
This was why Long Chen had insulted Yan Danqing’s appearance.
“You dare use an inferior beast to transform before me? Do you think you can hold a candle to a Peak Essence Beast? Incredulous!” Yan Danqing laughed and punched again. Even though it was the same First Stage Heavy Blow, it was much stronger due to his transformation. The ground shook and the wind howled.
Inferior? You will soon learn that a Peak Essence Beast is an ant compared to a dragon!
Long Chen smiled and used the Nine Dragon Flashes. He quickly flashed across the plaza and used Yellow River Split and Shattered Skies again. The Azure Dragon Halberd became a sharp drill that thrusted at Yan Danqing’s head!
“Second Stage Heavy Kick!” Yan Danqing’s first attack had missed, but he did not panic. He used his legs and kicked Long Chen’s Azure Dragon Halberd. In the next instant, the Azure Dragon Halberd was deflected, and Yan Danqing launched another attack at Long Chen’s chest!
Long Chen did not panic; he merely moved his finger. “Sword Devil Finger!”
The twinkling starlight gathered and shot towards Yan Danqing’s eyes. If Yan Danqing continued his attack, he would hit Long Chen, but he would be blinded too.
Yan Danqing was shocked at Long Chen’s reckless fighting style. He didn’t want to lose his eyes just to defeat Long Chen, so he recalled his attack.
“Long Chen, is trading blows all you can do? Are you that weak?” Yan Danqing laughed.
To be fair, everyone was currently unsure if Yan Danqing would be able to keep the inheritance after exchanging blows with Long Chen so many times. Dongfang Tianxuan thought about how Long Chen had managed to create so many miracles, and a daring thought crossed her mind.
Could Long Chen become the strongest genius of Yuanling City? How did he get to this position when he was just an insignificant ant?
Dongfang Tianxuan thought Long Chen would lose to Yan Danqing, but he should still be respected. Long Chen’s story was a legendary one, one where someone had started from the bottom and slowly rose to the top.
Her hatred towards him slightly lessened.
Long Chen and Yan Danqing clashed again.
His speed, strength, and defense are almost on the level of a demonic beast. But his skin could never withstand the attacks from the Azure Dragon Halberd. Long Chen smiled coldly and steeled his heart.
He didn’t want to play with Yan Danqing anymore, so his body blurred. He ran towards Yan Danqing, and the Azure Dragon Halberd swung around his body, leaving afterimages in its wake. Numerous dragon roars could be heard as he stabbed wildly at Yan Danqing, forming a tsunami of attacks.
“Azure Dragon Technique, Starsweep Dragon!”
Even Yan Danqing had to take Long Chen’s strongest technique seriously. He roared and used all of his Qi to launch a single attack.
“Ninth Stage Shattered Void!”
The technique was clearly an Earth-tier martial technique. First Stage Heavy Blow was strong already, and Ninth Stage Shattered Void was a combination of nine First Stage Heavy Blows. The power from the nine punches fused together and multiplied its strength. Even though the technique looked plain, it was considerably strong, and it clashed directly with Long Chen’s Starsweep Dragon.
Boom!
The air surrounding them exploded, and the shockwave spread throughout the plaza. Everyone heard the sound of the halberd and fist colliding nine times before both Long Chen and Yan Danqing were knocked backwards by the impact.
This time, they were using all of their strength.
In terms of pure strength, Long Chen is weaker than Yan Danqing after he transformed into the Peak Essence Beast. Dongfang Tianxuan frowned as she watched the big clash.
But when she saw the result, her lips opened slightly from shock. How is this possible?
Everyone else took a bit more time to react after seeing who had emerged victorious. Long Chen landed gracefully, while Yan Danqing fell onto the ground and rolled several times. His face was dusty and his blood was boiling.
How could this be? Had the strength-orientated Peak Essence Beast lost to Long Chen’s inferior beast?
Even Yan Danqing refused to believe it. He was deeply ashamed. contemporary romance
He suddenly stood up and charged at Long Chen.
“Long Chen, how dare you fight dirty!”
“Fight dirty?” Long Chen chuckled. “Since I didn’t kill you with that attack, I have no choice but to use this one ...”
