Chapter 57: Lord of the East?
"Miss Long, take this! Dragon in the Four Directions!" The golden dragon let out a roar, its speed suddenly doubling as it lunged at Longxin. Longxin sidestepped just in time to avoid being caught by the dragon's claws, but Zhao Yu managed to stab her left hand with a sword.
"You need to be more careful," Zhao Yu said apologetically, though there was a hint of reproach in his tone.
"You... Hmph! Do you think I can only transform into a golden dragon?" Longxin pouted. "In the name of my blood, I summon the Azure Dragon, rush!" A drop of blood flowed from Longxin's left hand, floating in front of her chest before transforming into a shade of blue. It slowly morphed into a small dragon, measuring about one meter long and as thick as a bowl. Longxin mounted the Azure Dragon's back and said to Zhao Yu, "This is a secret technique of my family; let me show you today! Dragon Battle in the Four Directions!"
Under Longxin's command, the Azure Dragon swiftly charged at Zhao Yu, its speed far surpassing that of the golden dragon.
"This Azure Dragon is much faster than the golden dragon; this is a huge disadvantage for me. I need to come up with a plan," Zhao Yu assessed the situation and made up his mind.
"Drunken Sword Style!" Influenced by Zhao Yu, the golden dragon began to sway as if it might fall at any moment. Facing the oncoming Azure Dragon, Zhao Yu resolved himself. Just before they collided, he dashed forward rapidly, directing the golden dragon to collide with the Azure Dragon. Longxin did not expect Zhao Yu to be so ruthless; he used the collision of both dragons to create a shockwave that nearly sent her flying. As Zhao Yu approached at high speed, Longxin thrust her sword infused with fighting spirit toward him. To her surprise, Zhao Yu ignored her attack completely.
"Are you looking for death? Get out of the way! My attack is already unleashed; I can't retract it!" Longxin shouted anxiously.
"Thud!"
"Thud!" The sounds of swords piercing flesh echoed.
"Roar~" "Sweeping Sword Style!" Zhao Yu was pierced through the right chest by Longxin's sword, yet he remained unfazed and continued executing his sword technique, sweeping horizontally and dispersing the Azure Dragon, leaving Longxin suspended in mid-air. All this happened in an instant; as soon as Longxin's sword pierced Zhao Yu's chest, he struck down the Azure Dragon he had summoned.
"Sweeping Sword Style!" Zhao Yu shouted again in anger, sweeping his sword toward Longxin. In close quarters, Longxin hurriedly drew her long sword and executed an Iron Plate Bridge move to evade Zhao Yu's strike. Before she could regain her balance, her delicate body was pulled down toward the ground by an immense force.
"It’s impossible! He can't have such fast attack speed. It takes time to gather energy!" Longxin thought in disbelief. Indeed, Zhao Yu couldn't attack again so quickly, but the golden dragon could; it could still charge at someone with all its strength.
"Longxin!"
"Sister Long." Why did this group gasp? Because they witnessed something astonishing.
Longxin lay on the ground, completely drained of strength after being struck by the golden dragon. Before her stood a man named Zhao Yu, holding a long sword with its tip pressed against her neck as he said solemnly, "You lost." After speaking, he retracted his long sword and walked back to Yang Chen while the golden dragon dissipated into the sky.
"Leader."
"You two, can you stop getting yourselves hurt? It makes me feel bad," Yang Chen said helplessly. It was hard for anyone to bear the thought that his two brothers were injured because of him.
"It's fine, Leader. If it's a life-and-death battle, I might be injured, but I won't die. However, she has already died at my hands," Zhao Yu said coldly.
"You heard that too? Don't think just because you're the Divine Heir that you're invincible among your peers. Without experiencing life and death, how can you understand it? You're still too inexperienced. I don't want to compete in the third match. If we continue, although you will all lose, my brothers will get hurt. I don't want to play this game with you anymore; do as you wish," Yang Chen said coldly.
Long Xin struggled to stand up with the support of others and said, "I admit we can't compare to you, but we will never admit defeat! We will save the remaining three matches! When we feel we can defeat those two, we will challenge them again! For now..."
The six exchanged glances, nodded in unison, and knelt on one knee, saying, "We pay our respects..." What should we call him, Master? They couldn't bring themselves to say it, but they had already acknowledged their defeat and recognized him as their master.
"Call me Young Master," Yang Chen resolved their dilemma.
"Yes, Young Master." This title was still acceptable to them.
"Alright, I don't care whether you're sincere or not. Since you were sent by Mr. Yi, I'll keep you around. However, with your current strength, you won't be able to help me much. A flower in a greenhouse cannot withstand the storm. Now, I give you three months; no matter what method you use, hunt down 500 fifth-tier magical beasts and 10 sixth-tier magical beasts! If you can't do it, don't come back to see me."
"Yes, Young Master!" The six responded in unison.
"I'll have Zhan Tao accompany you. In the realm of life and death, you can listen to his advice. Zhan Tao, go with them; I'll head to Silver Moon City in three months. Remember to come back. If they haven't completed the mission, return alone," Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Leader." In an instant, the seven of them vanished and appeared before Yang Chen. Far away in the sky a thousand meters above Yang Chen, eight powerful figures were gathering together.
"Long Zhan, what do you think of this kid?"
"Decisive in killing; he is a hero of this age. I believe he will definitely kill someone when he strikes!" Long Zhan said.
"Oh? You hold him in such high regard?"
"Aren't you the same? Elder Yi, when will we make our appearance?" Long Zhan asked.
"We'll wait until he becomes an emperor or reaches the level of a Fighting Saint. Huh? The people from the Wanxiang Sect have also emerged? It seems they have figured something out," Yi Tianzheng said.
“Ancient Three Sects? Are they here to assist Yang Chen? That shouldn't be the case; they couldn't have appeared this quickly,” Xiao Tian said.
“No, they should be here to meet this Yang Chen and see if he is worth their assistance,” Haotian said.
“That’s right. The Wanxiang Sect wouldn’t easily come out of hiding. I paid a great price back then just to invite them,” a Robe-Clad Man said.
“Zhan Chen, your position as emperor will soon be passed on to your son, right?” Haotian asked.
“It doesn’t matter. I only have this one son; this position will eventually be his. If he wants it, I can step down now and enjoy a few drinks with you all,” Zhan Chen laughed heartily.
“You really don’t know what you established the empire for back then,” Yi Tianzheng said helplessly.
“For fun, of course. What about the Lord of the Earth Realm? Right now, I’m feeling a bit troubled. However, that kid down there is thinking even further ahead; he wants to become the Lord of the East,” Zhan Chen said.
“Lord of the East? Heh,” Yi Tianzheng chuckled.
“Leader, the city of Loulan is currently on high alert, in a state where even grass and trees seem like soldiers. If we go in, we need to be careful,” Jiang Nan said.
“What do you mean?”
“Since the city lord's death, the vast Loulan City has been under Tripartite Balance, with an Alchemist Guild observing from the sidelines. Once two parties join forces, the Alchemist Guild will ally with the weaker side to maintain relative balance. Now, anyone entering or exiting is quite troublesome,” Jiang Nan explained.
