War God Long Ao

Long Ao began his provocation the moment Chai Sheng stepped into the restaurant.

Long Ao knew perfectly well that even if he didn't provoke him, the day's events would be difficult to resolve peacefully.

Since that was the case, a fight was coming one way or another. Why waste time on pointless words? Long Ao couldn't be bothered with superficial pleasantries.

Chai Sheng ignored Bing Hun and Linghu Ning. His face was as dark as it could possibly be, and he said coldly, "It seems you really are arrogant."

"Chai Sheng, cut the crap. If you want to fight, then let's fight."

'If you want to fight, then let's fight?'

Hearing this, Chai Sheng let out a sinister chuckle, as if he had just heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.

He had already sensed his opponent's strength. The Thunder Tribulation Realm. It might seem powerful to others, but to him, the Thunder Tribulation Realm was nothing but a joke.

Forget Chai Sheng; even Linghu Ning and Bing Hun didn't think Long Ao stood a chance. After all, the Thunder Tribulation Realm and the Transformation Realm were two completely different levels of existence. If a Thunder Tribulation Martial Artist could kill a Transformed Martial Artist, that would be like seeing a ghost.

"Long Ao, are you really that confident?"

"I don't know about against others, but against you, I'm completely confident."

Contempt. Long Ao's attitude made it clear: 'I don't see you as a threat.' He was openly looking down on Chai Sheng.

Chai Sheng was no fool; of course he understood what the other man meant. But he showed no trace of anger. He pointed at Bing Hun, then at Linghu Ning, and asked, "Whose side are you on?"

"We choose Long Ao."

Neither Linghu Ning nor Bing Hun hesitated for even a moment before choosing to side with Long Ao.

Chai Sheng just smiled, not seeming to mind. He asked, "Long Ao, do you want to fight here, or should we take it outside?"

"Brother Long."

Waving his hand, Long Ao gave the two no chance to speak. He said with a determined expression, "I have to handle this myself. Stay out of it."

Linghu Ning and Bing Hun exchanged a glance and nodded helplessly.

"No need to trouble ourselves. Right here. This will be a battle to the death between you and me." Long Ao radiated immense confidence. Chai Sheng found it hard to imagine what could possibly give his opponent such courage and self-assurance.

"Brother Linghu, Bing Hun, you two should leave first."

"Brother Long."

"If you're my friends, you'll listen to me."

Linghu Ning and Bing Hun had no other choice but to leave reluctantly, leaving only Long Ao and Chai Sheng in the entire luxurious restaurant. One could only imagine how great the impact of their battle would be.

"Long Ao, I'll kill you within three moves."

"As if you could."

"Hmph." With a cold snort, Chai Sheng shot forward. Before he even arrived, an overwhelming Momentum pressed down from all directions.

Not daring to be the least bit careless, Long Ao knew that Chai Sheng was, after all, a Second Transformation Martial Artist whose strength could not be underestimated. To end the battle quickly, Long Ao directly used the Soul-Sealing Seal, the Nether Burning Seal, and the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques.

"The Transformation Realm!"

Chai Sheng cried out in alarm. Sensing the powerful Momentum radiating from his opponent, he never would have imagined that the man was actually a Transformed Martial Artist. Although he was only a First Transformation Martial Artist, he was still in the Transformation Realm.

Seeing his opponent's shock, Long Ao certainly wasn't going to let this golden opportunity slip by. He pulled the God-Locking Pearl from his clothes and activated it immediately.

It was a Half-Defective item.

Although the God-Locking Pearl was only Half-Defective, Long Ao knew with certainty that its current power was more than enough to lock Chai Sheng in place.

The God-Locking Pearl released a strange power. Before Chai Sheng could even react, he was horrified to discover that the Space around him was rapidly solidifying. The thought had barely crossed his mind when he found his body had been frozen in place.

That's right, he was completely immobilized.

'What in the world is happening?' Chai Sheng's expression turned extremely ugly. Even now, he couldn't figure out why his body had been frozen solid.

「Outside the restaurant.」

Linghu Ning and Bing Hun wore grave expressions. Bing Hun asked worriedly, "Brother Linghu, do you think Brother Long can defeat Chai Sheng?"

Although he wanted to believe Long Ao could defeat Chai Sheng, Linghu Ning still replied helplessly, "You and I both know Chai Sheng's strength. I have to admit, Brother Long is truly a heaven-sent genius to have reached the Thunder Tribulation Realm in just a few short months. But the Thunder Tribulation Realm is still just the Thunder Tribulation Realm. It's impossible for him to defeat Chai Sheng."

"As his friend, I have to go save Brother Long."

Grabbing Bing Hun to stop her, Linghu Ning said grimly, "With our current strength, we'd just be throwing our lives away if we go in."

"Even if it means death, as his friends, we must be willing to go through fire and water for him."

Just then, the entire luxurious restaurant collapsed in an instant. Immediately after, the figures of Long Ao and Chai Sheng appeared. They had expected Chai Sheng to be victorious and Long Ao to be utterly defeated, but the result was the complete opposite: Long Ao landed a vicious kick on Chai Sheng's temple, killing him instantly.

'He killed Chai Sheng with a single kick?'

Staring blankly at the falling corpse, both Linghu Ning and Bing Hun were completely dumbfounded.

Chai Sheng, a genuine Second Transformation Martial Artist and a top figure ranked third on the Hundred Battles Ranking. According to their predictions, there was no way Long Ao could have been a match for a Second Transformation Martial Artist.

"Brother Long, you killed Chai Sheng?"

Long Ao smiled and said innocently, "Maybe Chai Sheng was careless. I just got lucky and managed to kill him."

'Was it really just luck?'

The expressions on Linghu Ning's and Bing Hun's faces turned grim. It was infuriating to even make the comparison. This was especially true for Linghu Ning. 'We're both Thunder Tribulation Martial Artists. How could he kill Chai Sheng, when I...?'

Without a doubt, Linghu Ning knew his own strength very well. If he had faced Chai Sheng, he would have been killed, one hundred percent.

Seemingly guessing something, Linghu Ning asked, "Brother Long, forgive me for being blunt, but has your Cultivation broken through to the Transformation Realm?"

Hearing Linghu Ning's question, Bing Hun also looked astonished. 'Could Brother Long have really broken through and become a Transformed Martial Artist?'

"Just a lucky breakthrough."

'Lucky again?'

Seeing Long Ao nod in confirmation, both Linghu Ning and Bing Hun were utterly shocked. They knew full well how vast the difference was between the Transformation Realm and the Thunder Tribulation Realm. No wonder Long Ao was able to kill Chai Sheng.

'The Transformation Realm.'

She stared deeply at him, still not quite able to process it. She never would have imagined that in just a few short months, Long Ao had gone from the Unity Realm, broken through the Thunder Tribulation Realm, and advanced into the Transformation Realm. If Long Ao hadn't admitted it himself, she wouldn't have believed it even if someone beat her to death.

Heaven-sent geniuses like Ye Yidao, Chai Sheng, and even Linghu Ning were a complete joke when compared to Long Ao. His talent was on full display. Forget the Mortal World; even among the Six Great Sects, he would be considered a top-tier existence.
