Dragon War God

Chapter 723 - Escape



Chapter 723 - Escape

It was too sudden. Everyone was still stunned after Feng Zhilin left with the Wind God Warp.

Long Chen had suddenly appeared and stolen the Martial God Tombstone. Everyone had thought Feng Zhilin would get rid of the brave fool, but none of them had expected Long Chen to escape using Blood Warp.

The strange yet powerful Blood Warp made everyone guess who Long Chen really was. Long Chen had previously come here and killed several people from the Wind clan before escaping with Blood Warp. The people from the Wind clan had been staying here for the past few days, so everyone knew about what he had done.

“That brat ...”

“Didn’t he escape yesterday? He had the guts to return! Wait, I saw blood splattering behind the Martial God Tombstone just now. Who died?”

The Wind clan searched around and soon determined that the person Long Chen had killed was the one who had killed Shao Yu yesterday. All of them sighed at the revelation.

“What a terrifying brat. To think he could endure for so long with so little power. Not only did he manage to fool us, he even managed to escape from the young mistress!”

“He hasn't escaped yet. Princess Lin is chasing him right now. She has both the Wind God Warp and the Shapeless Whip. It won’t be easy for him to escape!”

“I hope Princess Lin kills him, or it will be terrifying if he grows even stronger! His personality, strange techniques, and the Martial God Tombstone will make him a formidable foe later on!”

“That’s true. Wait, where’s the Profound Golden Soul?”

Everyone was shocked. Everyone except for Aunt Snow, who was trapping the two elders, searched around and found that the Profound Golden Soul was missing too.

Everyone frowned because they knew that it must’ve been Long Chen who had taken it.

The two elders gritted their teeth when they heard that Long Chen had also taken the Profound Golden Soul.

“Big Brother, what should we do? We lost the Profound Golden Soul!”

“What can we do? It’s already a miracle that we survived. That bitch Feng Zhilin is chasing him. It would be suicidal to chase them now! We need to escape while she’s not here!”

Both of them were on the verge of death. They didn’t know if they had the strength to escape from Aunt Snow.

Black Gold City was in chaos!

***

Long Chen miraculously dodged Feng Zhilin’s Shapeless Whip using Blood Warp. It felt incredible to experience the speed that Blood Warp granted him.

More importantly, by risking his life, he had obtained both the Martial God Tombstone and the Profound Golden Soul. The Martial God Tombstone would increase his cultivation speed ten fold while the Profound Golden Soul would allow him to cultivate the Golden Emperor Veiled Heaven Seal.

But it would be difficult!

Long Chen was excited! It had been a while since he felt such excitement. The previous time he felt his heart beating so fast was when he obtained the Five Emperor Seals. Now he had not only the Martial God Tombstone, but also the Profound Golden Soul in his hands!

“Don’t be too happy yet! She’s catching up to us!” Little Cat’s statement shocked him so much that he started sweating profusely.

Long Chen soon reached the ten Li limit.

Usually, he would’ve used Rewind to replenish his essence in order to use Blood Warp again so that he could be safe, but this time he felt that Feng Zhilin was too close to him!

He looked back and saw the wind howling furiously on the horizon. She was indeed homed in on him and was flying at breakneck speed!

Without Blood Warp, Long Chen could never hope to outrun her!

Suddenly, he was plunged into another crisis.

She was about to reach him when Little Cat gave him an idea. “Don’t panic yet. You have a method to escape. Do as I say. First, drip your blood onto the Profound Golden Soul and make it recognize you as its owner.”

Long Chen did not hesitate to take out the golden stone. He dropped a single drop of blood onto it.

“Your bloodline is stronger than the Golden clan’s, so you can control your blood to destroy the marking left behind by the Gold clan. Do as I say and make it recognize you as the owner!”

Long Chen nodded. This was the first time he had done something like this, but with Little Cat’s instructions, he quickly used his blood to remove the marking of the Gold clan and seized absolute control over the Profound Golden Soul. Long Chen felt it becoming a part of his body. He had a feeling that he could use it as his third arm.

A strong, golden energy radiated inside the Profound Golden Soul.

Long Chen felt like he was submerged in a sea of gold.

Is this the power of metal? Hard, sturdy, and sharp. It’s incredible ...” Long Chen was still immersed in the feeling when he sensed danger. He opened his eyes after merging with the Profound Golden Soul and saw a veiled woman. She was staring at him curiously.

Long Chen took a deep breath when he looked at her.

“Don’t be afraid. This place is filled with metal sand. Use the Profound Golden Soul to swim through the metal sand swiftly. Even though she’s strong, she will be much slower than you when you are swimming underground.”

Little Cat’s words gave him the courage to face Feng Zhilin. He relaxed a bit after knowing that he could escape with his life.

Feng Zhilin was staring at Long Chen with interest.

Her canary-like voice rang out. “You took both the Profound Golden Soul and the Martial God Tombstone.”

“You are right.”

“And you are not afraid of me? You should know I can kill you easily.” Feng Zhilin was surprised.

“You are right.”

“... Can you say something else?” Feng Zhilin became upset.

She waved her arm slightly. Even though it was invisible, Long Chen knew that she was holding onto the Shapeless Whip. A single swing and he was dead.

“You are right.” He provoked her.

Feng Zhilin looked at him silently. Even though she tried to remain calm, Long Chen’s strange background and techniques disrupted her emotions and clouded her judgment.

Usually, she would’ve killed anyone who tried to take something that she wanted, but Long Chen was special. Despite being weak, he had managed to succeed in his mission. He also had a grudge with Wu Guangyu, her fiance.

“Did you swear that you would kill Wu Guangyu?”

“You are right!” Long Chen smiled.

“Do you really not fear death?” Feng Zhilin was pissed at him for repeating the same sentence again and again.

“You are ... right!” Long Chen repeated without fear even though Feng Zhilin’s gaze became cold.

“I was actually curious to see how far you could go with your potential, but I don’t think I want to do that now. I wonder ... How will you escape my attacks? Well ... Die.”

She waved her arm.

An invisible force ripped through the air and snaked towards Long Chen.

“Profound Golden Soul!” Long Chen was prepared. He activated it and swam through the dense, metal sand in the ground.

“What a fool to try and escape underground.” Feng Zhilin smiled and used her behemoth strength to break open the metallic ground. Her attacks went deep and she moved fast, but she soon realized that Long Chen’s speed underground far exceeded her expectations!

“Why is he so fast? Is it because of the Profound Golden Soul? It’s difficult to break through the metallic sand. My speed is slowed down, but his speed is somehow unrestricted!”

Long Chen swam like a fish as he swiftly escaped her detection radius. Feng Zhilin’s calmness turned into anger.

No one had ever managed to anger her this much before. She also never expected Long Chen to escape right under nose. She was proud of her speed, having beaten even Wu Guangyu in that aspect. She was confident in it to the point that she wasn’t worried that Long Chen had the Martial God Tombstone in his “Storage Ring.”

She had been confident that she would be able to retrieve it easily, but now she realized that she was far slower underground than Long Chen!
