War God Long Ao

Lüdagun—Thunder City's most famous snack.

In all of Thunder City, there was only one shop that specialized in Lüdagun. It was always packed, and sometimes you'd even have to wait in line for an hour just to get a bowl.

Ouyang Fei had already made arrangements, sending someone to save a spot early on. But when the two of them arrived, all they could do was shrug helplessly.

They sat down, and the waiter brought over two bowls of Lüdagun. After just one bite, Ouyang Fei couldn't help but exclaim, "This is truly delicious."

Long Ao nodded in agreement. He had to admit, the Lüdagun in Thunder City was indeed delicious. No wonder some people were willing to wait in line for over an hour just to buy a bowl.

"Get lost, you two! Our Young Master is eating here."

Just then, a group of burly men barged in. Without any reason, they started shouting, viciously driving the customers out of the shop. The crowd, initially furious, saw the two young men behind the thugs and fell silent. Though filled with anger, they dared not speak out, and one by one, they left reluctantly.

"Brother Duanmu, I know Lüdagun is your favorite, so I had a chef prepare a brand new recipe. Give it a try."

Duanmu Lin smiled with satisfaction. As a young master of the Duanmu Clan, he was a lofty and untouchable figure wherever he went in Thunder City.

Long Yili was a hedonistic disciple of Thunder City's Fourth Level Long Family. Relying on his family's power, he regularly caused trouble and, along with Duanmu Lin, was known as one of the "Four Pests of Thunder City."

This time, Long Yili had taken a liking to one of Duanmu Lin's handmaidens. The more he couldn't have her, the more he wanted her. For this very reason, he was doing everything he could to curry favor with Duanmu Lin.

"Did you two mutts not hear me?"

Almost everyone had cleared out of the little shop, leaving only Long Ao, Ouyang Fei, and their guards. Long Ao gave the burly man a cold look and asked, "Who is this 'mutt' calling for?"

"The mutt is calling for you."

The moment the words left his mouth, the man realized something was wrong. With a roar, he threw a palm strike at the two of them. But he went flying fast and came back even faster. With a sharp cry, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Seeing their man suddenly get taken down, the expressions of Long Yili and Duanmu Lin turned cold. Spotting Ouyang Fei, Long Yili sneered, "So it's the Crown Prince of the Nebula Kingdom. Brother Duanmu, do you know him?"

"The Crown Prince of the Nebula Kingdom? Just a piece of trash."

"Duanmu Lin, say that again."

Furious at such an insult, Ouyang Fei shot to his feet. As the Crown Prince of the Nebula Royal Family, an insult to him was an insult to the entire Nebula Kingdom.

With a cold snort, Duanmu Lin sneered, "A few pieces of trash from a worthless kingdom dare to act so insolently here? Men, seize them for me."

The moment Duanmu Lin finished speaking, six or seven burly men shot out from behind them, lunging toward Long Ao and Ouyang Fei. However, the Nebula Royal Family's guards moved to intercept them. In the blink of an eye, the two sides were brawling.

"How bold! You dare to resist? Kill them without mercy!"

Long Yili and Duanmu Lin were stunned that their opponents actually dared to fight back. They roared in fury. Given the status of the Long and Duanmu Families in Thunder City, who would dare to challenge them? It was like provoking a god or pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth.

As the Crown Prince of the Nebula Royal Family, Ouyang Fei was also a One-Line Heaven Martial Artist. Without even making a move, he unleashed his Innate Aura, an overwhelming pressure that instantly suppressed everyone.

'An Innate Martial Artist?'

Long Yili and Duanmu Lin were flabbergasted, finding it hard to believe. They both turned and fled, scrambling away in the most pathetic manner imaginable.

"Brother Ouyang, what's wrong?"

Seeing Ouyang Fei's solemn expression, Long Ao was quite surprised.

"Brother Long, you may not know this, but the two who just fled in disgrace are from Thunder City's Long and Duanmu Families. They're known as two of the 'Four Pests of Thunder City.' After the humiliation I just dealt them, I'm sure they won't let this go."

As the Crown Prince of the Nebula Royal Family, Ouyang Fei knew this matter wasn't so simple. Although the Long and Duanmu Families were just two families in Thunder City, their power was nearly on par with the Nebula Royal Family. Such was the foundation and strength of the great families within the Thunder Empire.

Long Ao didn't say much. He couldn't be bothered to ask about or get involved in affairs between families and kingdoms. All that mattered was finding the Thousand-Year Thunder Fruit. After that, he would participate in the Thunder Battle.

Ouyang Fei and Long Ao didn't continue eating their Lüdagun. Just as they stood up to leave, they found the entrance crowded with people. Among them were Long Yili and Duanmu Lin, their faces filled with coldness and killing intent.

Long Yili, emboldened by his reinforcements, roared, "You trash in there, get the hell out here! Damn you! How dare you act so insolently? Are your damn eyes blind?"

"Brother Long, you see? I wasn't wrong. If not for the families backing them, scum like this probably wouldn't survive for three days."

Long Ao smiled as well. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I'm quite curious to see how strong the help they've found is."

Nodding, Long Ao and Ouyang Fei led their men out of the shop. Seeing the dozens of people outside, they both smiled. After sensing everyone's aura, they discovered that among the helpers Long Yili and Duanmu Lin had brought, there were only two Innate Martial Artists—and they were merely Hundred Scattered Heaven Martial Artists.

'Hundred Scattered Heaven Martial Artists?'

"You two mutts, didn't you even bother to find out who we are? How dare you act so insolently here."

"If you two get on your knees and call me 'Grandpa' three times right now, perhaps I'll be merciful and only break one of your legs. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Long Ao asked with interest. 'These hedonistic disciples from great families, aside from just waiting to die, probably do nothing but bully others with their borrowed power. In the end, I look down on these sycophantic brats from the bottom of my heart. If not for their status, Brother Ouyang and I wouldn't even have bothered to waste words on them.'

"You court death! Brother Duanmu, wasting words on scum like this is a waste of our breath."

Nodding, Duanmu Lin's expression turned frigid. "Kill them," he ordered, his voice dripping with killing intent.

At Duanmu Lin's command, two burly men shot out from behind them. These were the helpers they had summoned, two Hundred Scattered Heaven Martial Artists. Relying on their family's power, they attacked with lethal intent, clearly aiming to kill Long Ao and Ouyang Fei.

In the eyes of the Long and Duanmu Families, the insignificant Nebula Royal Family was nothing at all.

"You're courting death," Ouyang Fei's eyes turned cold. No matter what, he was the Crown Prince of the Nebula Royal Family and represented its honor. If he allowed himself to be insulted again and again without fighting back, he wouldn't just be losing his own face, but the face of the entire Nebula Royal Family.

As a One-Line Heaven Martial Artist, the moment Ouyang Fei charged out, a powerful Momentum enveloped the two Hundred Scattered Heaven Martial Artists. Before everyone's shocked eyes, Ouyang Fei's palms came chopping down fiercely.
