Dragon War God

Chapter 287 - Battle Against Dwarf Experts

The large fire-red beast that crawled out of the mountain was the Category Three Earth-tier beast who had been slumbering within, the Eight Clawed Fire Chi!

The Fire Chi unleashed one angry roar after another, causing all of Goldfish Island to shake. It was clearly furious!

Long Chen could faintly see two tiny human figures nearby attacking it.

“Those two must be the Second River Stage dwarves. I can’t believe they were actually targeting the Eight Clawed Fire Chi! Two Second River Stage cultivators attacking a Category Three Earth-tier beast ... They really are going to get themselves killed,” said Long Chen, squinting in their direction.

Chen Feng was already drenched in sweat from his panic. After Long Chen defeated so many dwarves with his powerful combat technique, Chen Feng now saw him as his anchor.

“Long Chen, what should we do? Although the vulnerable islanders are hidden, at the rate the battle is going, it will likely affect them. And it’s possible the whole island will be destroyed by the Eight Clawed Fire Chi!”

“Long Chen, just give the command and I’ll do it!” Chen Lei was also completely impressed by him.

Long Chen looked at them hurriedly and said, “Chen Lei, I will give you a task, then Xiaolang and I will head there. I promise not to let them hurt Goldfish Island and the other islanders.

“What is the task?” Chen Lei asked hurriedly.

“Help me protect her,” Long Chen said, pointing at Ling Xi. “We don’t have much time. All you need to do is protect her. Although there shouldn’t be much danger, you mustn’t let your guard down. I’ll help you resolve your other problems. Xiaolang, let’s go!”

Long Chen did not waste any time and charged towards the mountain at the center of the island with Xiaolang.

“Don’t worry! I will protect this lady even if I die!” yelled Chen Lei.

He was a true man. He was previously contemptuous towards Long Chen purely due to a misunderstanding. Now that Long Chen had displayed his true capabilities, he was inwardly feeling guilty. contemporary romance

Chen Feng watched Long Chen leave and sighed. “Miss Ling Xi, it looks like you guys come from a powerful faction. Although Long Chen is at the First River Stage, his combat abilities are terrifying.”

“Brother Chen doesn’t have much of a background. He slowly climbed the ranks on his own,” explained Ling Xi. She felt a surge of pride when she heard Long Chen being praised.

“No wonder, no wonder.” Chen Feng sighed. Only someone who had climbed the ranks on his own and experienced many fights to the death could fight on Long Chen’s level, not to mention his decisiveness.

“Xiaolang, let them fight for now. It’s fine as long as they don’t affect the island and the underground cave. It’ll be even better if both sides get very hurt,” Long Chen whispered as they approached.

Xiaolang nodded.

They hid themselves among the trees. The Eight Clawed Fire Chi’s many roars came from beyond the trees, where it was fighting the two Second River Stage dwarf cultivators. It was a huge beast covered in red flames and it had eight powerful feet full of sharp claws. The two cultivators did their best to avoid being struck by the claws, moving very quickly using body combat techniques. They spun around the beast at high speed, occasionally launching an attack, provoking it into furious roars!

Long Chen finally saw their faces clearly. Both of them were short and thin wearing skin-tight leather armor, dressed to kill. Their speed and techniques were also extraordinary.

Based on their body shapes, he could tell that it was a man and a woman; and based on their figures and her chest, he could tell that these two had better looks than the average dwarf.

They spun like irritating flies around the Eight Clawed Fire Chi. It was difficult for it to strike them. Indeed, if this continued, there was a possibility for them to tire it to death.

“Their weapons aren’t bad at all.” Long Chen looked closer and saw that they were each holding a dark green dagger, slashing them around. Occasionally, they were able to make cuts on the beast’s body.

Those daggers were at least elementary Earth-tier weapons.

They relied on speed, body combat techniques, and elementary Earth-tier weapons to kill the Eight Clawed Fire Chi. It was indeed a decent arsenal, but Long Chen opined that since it was a Category Three Earth-tier beast, it would not be easy to defeat.

Indeed, the slashes made on its body had completely angered the beast. It opened its jaws, and bright red flames shot out at the dwarves. There was even molten lava mixed with the flames!

Since the Eight Clawed Fire Chi lived amidst lava, using lava in its attacks was expected.

This Eight Clawed Fire Chi didn’t look young. After so many years, its core must have absorbed a lot of fire essence. The Sun Devouring Wolf had been injured at the Burning Heaven Secret Realm, which caused its strength to be lowered by one category. The Fire Chi’s demonic core would likely help Xiaolang increase his strength.

Long Chen had set his sights on the Eight Clawed Fire Chi the moment he laid eyes on it. He refused to let someone else kill it.

The battle intensified the moment the beast started unleashing all sorts of attacks, including the flames from before. Thankfully, the battle remained in the same location, so it was not a threat to the people in the underground cave.

Old Chen was worrying too much. I’ll just wait until a victor emerges, then I will swoop in and take everything, Long Chen thought to himself.

This battle on the scale of the Heavenly River Realm caused the earth and mountain to shake. Although he was not personally involved in the battle, he could feel the extraordinary strength of both sides. The Eight Clawed Fire Chi was a Category Three Earth-tier beast, so its strength was obvious. On the other hand, the two dwarves had speed and excellent body combat techniques, coupled with the weapons in their hands. This combination made them dangerous to the beast.

The beast let out multiple roars, furious that it could not hit the dwarves at all!

Then it gave up on attacking them. Bearing the brunt of the woman’s attacks, it pounced and struck the middle-aged man with all of its claws. This strategy meant risking its life, but it was effective. It was impossible for the man to dodge so many claws after all. After he was struck by one claw, blood sprayed out of his mouth and he flew backwards into the air!

The woman shouted in her strange language, leaving several deep cuts on the beast’s back with her dagger. That was when the Eight Clawed Fire Chi turned its full attention to her. She was now in mortal danger.

“These two are done for.” Long Chen could see the end when the man was injured. They had the upper hand only because they were fast and worked together. Unfortunately, the Eight Clawed Fire Chi was no idiot and stopped them from working together.

The ground trembled greatly from its manic movements.

Long Chen suddenly heard a high-pitched scream. Shocked, he hurriedly turned to look and saw a young girl crawling out of the bushes not far away. She was pale with terror after seeing the beast roaring with fury.

The girl was Xiao Yu.

“Damn it!” Long Chen knew that Xiao Yu, who was in the cave, must have come up to investigate due to the huge commotion outside. But when she saw the gigantic beast, she was completely overcome with fear.

The Eight Clawed Fire Chi had sharp hearing, so it noticed Xiao Yu while it was fighting the dwarf. From its perspective, tiny organisms like her were the most terrifying. That was why it instantly shot a mouthful of flames at her. If she was struck, she would die!

Long Chen could no longer remain in hiding. He shot out of the trees and sprinted after Xiao Yu. Before the flames arrived, he held her in his arms and leaped into the air, dodging the flames.

“Go back now! And stay there! Or I will give you a beating!” Long Chen’s fierce glare almost scared her to tears, but she knew that he had just saved her. With such a terrifying beast present, she did not dare stay and quickly hurried back.

But Long Chen and Xiaolang were now exposed.

The Eight Clawed Fire Chi had noticed Long Chen and Xiaolang.

It realized that they posed a larger threat to it than the two dwarves.

All humans looked the same to the beast, and all humans were on the same side. Therefore, the moment the duo appeared, it abandoned its dwarf opponents and lunged towards Long Chen with heavy breathing and waving its claws!

The dwarf lady heaved a sigh of relief and hurried over to the severely injured man. Now that it was Long Chen’s turn to face the Eight Clawed Fire Chi, the tables would turn, and they would be the ones to swoop in for the fortune later.

Of course, Long Chen would not let this happen.

“Xiaolang, how long can you last against this Eight Clawed Fire Chi?” he asked.

Xiaolang gave a look of dissatisfaction, and Long Chen understood. Xiaolang opined that he and the beast were similar in strength.

Since Xiaolang was not one to brag, Long Chen trusted his judgment.

“I’ll let you handle the Fire Chi. I’ll kill the woman first, then focus on helping you.”

After telling him the plan, Long Chen shot off to stop the dwarf lady while Mo Xiaolang transformed to his combat state. Although the Sun Devouring Wolf was not as large as the Eight Clawed Fire Chi, it was definitely not weaker!

When the dwarf lady saw that Long Chen was coming to her instead of fighting the beast, she cautiously asked, “Who are you?”

“The person who will kill you,” replied Long Chen flatly, taking out the Azure Dragon Halberd and activating the Dragon Soul Transformation. Dense, elegant, red scales quickly enveloped his whole body, turning him into a blood-colored fighting machine.

“You’re merely at the First River Stage, and you think you can kill me?” She smiled.

“I’ve already killed the rest of the dwarves. What do you think will happen to you?” Long Chen responded with a grin.

When she heard the news, the lady’s gaze darkened. “You’re looking for death!”

She lunged towards Long Chen!
