Dragon-Blooded War God

Chapter 549: Power of the Golden Crow

Having mastery over King-tier combat techniques was a specific sign that a cultivator was at the Martial Realm. The Eagle Martial King’s Soul Dispersing Talons was a King-tier combat technique.

The scratches from the talons turned into five bright rays of light that shot straight at Long Chen. At this point, the Eagle Martial King could no longer be seen clearly. All Long Chen could see was a heaven-encompassing eagle, as well as the sharp talons right before his eyes. When the talons swiped past him, it looked as if space itself was twisted. It was clear just how terrifying this attack was.

I am no match for the Eagle Martial King when it comes to expertise in my attacks. That is why I can only gain the upper hand through sheer strength. This was the only thing Long Chen could do. As usual, he used the Heaven Sword Array, though this one was quite different from previous ones.

Number one, he was much, much stronger.

Number two, he had the power of the Golden Crow.

When the Eagle Martial King launched an attack, Long Chen did not sit around and wait for it to arrive. He had used the Heaven Sword Array countless times, but this time, it was used on an unprecedented level. He raised his sword in an arc, lifting it high in the air, then he swung it in one powerful strike. Countless sword symbols formed a sword array, which despite its small size, contained ten times more power in every single symbol compared to before!

Every sword symbol trembled and let out shrill calls, causing even the air to tremble. If this was it, then it would still be insufficient to threaten the Eagle Martial King. Most importantly, blood-red flames burned brightly above every sword symbol!

Just one burning sword symbol was enough to hurt the Eagle Martial King, let alone tens of thousands of them on this scale. An instant later, the Eagle Martial King was engulfed in red flames!

“Die!” Long Chen unleashed the Heaven Sword Array!

“Die!” Although the flames were scary, the Eagle Martial King clenched his teeth, trying his best to withstand them!

Due to the presence of the Golden Crow’s soul remnants, Long Chen’s energy was now Yang-leaning. The blood in his body surged as if it had started to boil. Powerful Qi and Yang energy surged through his youthful and strong body, presenting the characteristics of a Yang body.

The Heaven Sword Array, boosted by the Golden Crow’s soul remnants, collided with the Eagle Martial King’s King-tier Soul Dispersing Talons! Everyone else was watching this moment out of the corners of their eyes, so they were extremely nervous too. No one initially thought that Long Chen was a match for the Eagle Martial King, but when strange, red flames appeared in his attack, they were uncertain!

Perhaps there was a possibility that Long Chen would win!

Long Chen had killed many people by just relying on the Heaven Sword Array; his first victim was the Sword Emperor and now it was the Eagle Martial King. Without counting the incident where he used the third stage of Blood Sacrifice, the Eagle Martial King was the most powerful opponent he had fought with the Heaven Sword Array thus far. Furthermore, his Heaven Sword Array was currently in its strongest state!

The Heaven Sword Array fell hard, and it was immense. As long as one was engulfed within, the swords would seal the space around them. The swords glinted, and they were each very fatal once alight with the red flames!

The victor would be determined in the next moment!

As long as the Eagle Martial King could get close to Long Chen, Long Chen would immediately lose. Once a cultivator reached the Earthly Martial Realm, they mostly engaged in melee combat because their strength and speed far outmatched someone at the Heavenly Passage Realm. Even the most brutal attacks from a Heavenly Passage Realm cultivator could not match close-range attacks from them. Usually, killing a Heavenly Passage Realm cultivator would be as easy as chopping vegetables when they were close by.

Long Chen was a monster—he was only at the Ninth Passage Realm, yet he possessed enough strength to kill an Earthly Martial Realm cultivator. This time, he was well aware that it was unwise to get close to an Earthly Martial Realm cultivator. That was why he won. His attack also far exceeded the Heavenly Passage Realm level, therefore breaking this natural law!

Beneath the pelting of the Heaven Sword Array, the Eagle Martial King sprinted forward with all his might while holding back the sword lights. As long as he could get out of the Heaven Sword Array’s range, it would only be a matter of time before he killed Long Chen. However, he underestimated how powerful the Heaven Sword Array was!

When the first burning sword light broke through his defenses and pierced into his body, the intense pain almost made the Eagle Martial King curl up. It was so hot that it instantly burned a piece of his flesh!

Due to the pain, the Eagle Martial King lost his focus. Then tens of thousands of sword lights swallowed him whole.

He let out a scream of agony, though it quickly died down. Everything the Eagle Martial King had worked for was gone beneath the Heaven Sword Array. He was now dead.

Everything in front of Long Chen returned to emptiness.

Long Chen suddenly felt weak. He knew that he could not use the Golden Crow’s power recklessly. He had to be frugal with it and use it to kill his enemies at the last moment!

His fight was over.

The other two fights changed drastically when his fight ended. Due to an advantage in strength, the moment after Long Chen killed his opponent, Jian Chen’s opponent drowned in a flurry of sword attacks.

Jian Chen’s Cloud Sword pierced through his opponent’s throat. He pulled it out, and his opponent collapsed. He did not close his eyes, even in death.

The Flower Martial King was smart. When she saw that her two helpers were faltering, she took out some red powder from somewhere and threw it at Lan Ling'er!

Having heard of the Flower Martial King’s reputation, Lan Ling'er knew what the red powder was. It was an aphrodisiac-type medicine. Once poisoned, Jian Chen and Long Chen would embarrass themselves greatly. Lan Ling'er had no choice but to quickly retreat to dodge the red powder; she knew not to come into contact with it!

“You little bitch! Why are you dodging it? You have two handsome men, one young and one old, here for you to enjoy! Isn’t this aphrodisiac powder exactly what you want? Hehe …”

Since Lan Ling'er had been forced away, the Flower Martial King laughed and shot off like a madwoman!

In terms of speed, Jian Chen was only as fast as she was, and now he was blocked by the powder. That was why the three of them could only watch her leave.

“You horny woman! One day, I’ll chop you up to pieces! Aaaaaah!” Lan Ling'er was mad with rage, throwing punches at the boulder next to her. Then she suddenly recalled something and then looked at Long Chen with wide eyes as if he was a stranger. Even Jian Chen was eyeing him from head to toe in shock.

“ …S-seventh Brother! You killed the Eagle Martial King?” Lan Ling'er stuttered, walking up to him.

“Of course. This means I’m better than you now,” Long Chen said proudly with a smug look on his face.

“Tsk, look at you being all smug. Even one hundred of you would be no match for me,” Lan Ling'er said with a grin.

“You killed an Earthly Martial Realm cultivator despite only being at the Ninth Passage Stage. Long Chen, you have basically performed a miracle. Your strength is on par with us; you’re now qualified to truly be a part of the Dragon clan. If Big Sister assigns a task to you, you cannot refuse it.” Jian Chen showed his approval in his tone.

Two of the three Martial Kings that had ambushed them were dead and one had escaped.

After he finished speaking, there was a boom in the sky. Long Chen looked up. Two hours had gone by, and the grand phenomenon of the Day of the Nine Suns had completely disappeared. The extremely hot air started to cool too. The temperature would return to normal levels in a few hours.

Long Chen’s achievements had far surpassed his own imagination.

“Since the Flower Martial King ran off, we shouldn’t stick around here. Once Xiaolang wakes up, we need to hurry to the Cloud Dream Swamp,” said Jian Chen with furrowed brows after he woke up from his shock.

The people of the Martial Alliance were everywhere. Just like flies, catching one’s attention would not end well.

Long Chen and Lan Ling'er both nodded.

“It doesn’t even make sense! I have always been the weakest, and after great difficulty, I finally found a younger brother to bully. Now this younger brother seems to have become stronger than me.” Lan Ling'er sighed, resigned. However, she was still quite shocked. It looked like it was the right decision to have Long Chen join them.

“In that case, what do you think about calling me ‘Elder Brother Chen?’” Long Chen teased.

“You bastard! Do you want to fight? You’re just a brat!”

Long Chen initially wanted to tease her more, but something was happening to Xiaolang. Long Chen did not know what growth the solar fire would bring to him, so he quickly went to Xiaolang’s side and watched with great anticipation.

The golden flames burning on Xiaolang’s body slowly died down, and the heat radiating from him also slowly dissipated until he returned back to normal. Suddenly, his eyes sprang open to reveal golden pupils and golden flames burning within. When Long Chen looked at them up close, he felt as if he was in an endless sea of golden flames himself.

“I’m just one step away from the Category Nine Heaven-tier. Just a little more,” Xiaolang said resignedll.

“That’s okay. This is already great.” The Category Nine Heaven-tier was within Long Chen’s expectations. He and Xiaolang had always been on a similar level, though Long Chen was always a little stronger than Xiaolang. However, although he was at the Category Nine Heaven-tier, the Nine Demons Ancestral Fire was a terrifying tool.

The two Golden Lightning Stallions waiting far away grew frightened when Xiaolang woke up.

“Alright. In that case, let’s hurry to the Cloud Dream Swamp,” Jian Chen suggested, worried that the Flower Martial King would return with more experts.

Long Chen and Lan Ling'er nodded and both climbed on their mounts. With Jian Chen leading the way, they rushed toward the Cloud Dream Swamp at high speeds.

The birth of the Red Emperor Seal would be a grand phenomenon. How many people would there be?
