Supreme Dragon Lord

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, everything turned to dust. A long, deep gully was carved into the ground. The scene was horrifying.

Wang Cheng and the other Heavenly Demon Sect disciple were stunned speechless. Their eyes were wide, their faces masks of disbelief.

They had never imagined that Long Chen’s sword strike contained such tremendous power. Their own attacks were utterly insignificant before it, completely ignored. The Sword Qi surged toward them, and only then did Wang Cheng snap back to his senses.

The two turned and fled for their lives. They knew that if that attack hit them, they would be severely injured, if not killed outright.

To their dismay, the Sword Qi was even faster than they were. In the blink of an eye, it was upon them.

It’s over! We’re really done for this time! the disciple thought, his face ashen.

He didn’t dare slow his frantic escape, but just then, a Palm Shadow blasted toward him. Startled, the disciple hastily defended himself, but the impact staggered him, forcing him to a halt.

Meanwhile, Wang Cheng continued to flee without a backward glance.

The betrayed disciple stood rooted to the spot, stunned. He never imagined Wang Cheng would launch a sneak attack against him.

As he prepared to confront Wang Cheng, a sudden chill ran down his spine. He snapped around just in time to see the Sword Qi released by Long Chen bearing down on him. The sight terrified him to his core. The Sword Qi was so fast he had no chance to dodge.

THWIP!

The Sword Qi pierced straight through his body. With a dull thud, he exploded into a mist of blood, leaving not even a bone fragment behind.

Wang Cheng’s heart sank as he witnessed this. Fortunately for him, his former companion’s body had slightly deflected the Sword Qi. Seizing the opportunity, Wang Cheng quickly veered in another direction.

At the same time, his heart filled with resentment. His hatred for Long Chen was bone-deep. He never imagined that a single person could so completely overturn their plans. He was practically seething with rage.

But first, I have to escape, he thought. He silently swore an oath: If I get out of this alive, I’ll make Long Chen pay back today’s debt double!

Just when he thought he was in the clear, something even more unexpected happened. Long Chen suddenly materialized before him, blocking his path.

Wang Cheng’s expression froze, and his eyes bulged in shock. This guy... his speed is incredible! He caught up to me in the blink of an eye!

"Thinking of running away?" Long Chen chuckled, his gaze fixed on Wang Cheng. "You haven’t gotten my permission yet."

Wang Cheng’s eyes darted around frantically.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

In a flash, several figures appeared, completely surrounding him. It was Lei Shishi and the others.

Wang Cheng’s eyelids twitched, his expression turning grim. He knew his situation was hopeless. The idea of breaking through this encirclement with his own strength was pure fantasy. Daring not to make a move, he fixed his gaze on Long Chen and asked in a low voice, "What do you want?"

"What do we want?" Long Chen gave a faint smile. "A moment ago, your Heavenly Demon Sect wanted to kill us all. Now that we’ve captured you, what do you think we should do?"

Tang Le laughed heartily, chiming in, "We’re going to kill you, of course!"

The words struck Wang Cheng’s heart like a heavy hammer.

He lifted his head to meet Long Chen’s frigid, icy stare. The powerful aura radiating from Long Chen made Wang Cheng’s heart tremble, and his face visibly paled.

In that moment, fear took hold of him.

He swallowed hard and began to beg for mercy. "Honorable ones, I was wrong before! I beg you, be magnanimous and spare my life! If you let me go, I’ll follow your every command from now on. I would never dare to deceive you!"

Wang Cheng’s face was a picture of remorse. For him, the most important thing was to stay alive. As long as I’m alive, there’s a chance to make a comeback, he thought. If I die, I’m truly worthless.

He could only brace himself and continue pleading in a trembling voice, "I beg you—"

"Quiet!" Long Chen cut him off mercilessly. "No one can save your worthless life today."

Hearing this, Wang Cheng’s face twisted in a snarl. His mouth twitched and his fists clenched as he roared, "If that’s how it is, then I’ll take you down with me!"

With that, Wang Cheng swung his Sharp Sword and lunged viciously at Long Chen.

Long Chen, however, remained perfectly calm, completely unfazed by the attack. With a sudden wave of his hand, a powerful force erupted from him.

BOOM!

The force instantly shattered the Sharp Sword in Wang Cheng’s hand. Worse still, the Qi Blades from the shattered sword all blasted back toward Wang Cheng.

THWIP! THWIP! THWIP!

Countless fragments pierced his body. In the blink of an eye, Wang Cheng was riddled with holes like a hornet’s nest—a gruesome sight. He was drenched in blood, his eyes bulging wide as he died, unable to rest in peace.

Long Xin sighed in satisfaction. "That bastard is finally dead. Someone like him was just a waste of air."

Lei Shishi smiled. "Now that the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples are all gone, our Jinglei Sect won’t have to endure their taunts and schemes anymore. If we proceed carefully from here on out and avoid the most difficult opponents, I believe we can achieve a good ranking. That would slowly raise our Jinglei Sect’s standing in the God-Devil Domain."

"Of course," Long Chen agreed with a nod. "Let’s keep moving. The faster we get through this trial, the better."

The others nodded in agreement.

Just as they were preparing to leave, the sky above them began to darken once more.

On the horizon, an immense, terrifying sandstorm was churning toward them.
