War God Long Ao

Inside the Heaven and Earth Array.

Barely escaping death by lightning strike, Su Chen collapsed weakly to the ground, his face a mask of fury.

Looking at the young man who had suddenly appeared before him, Su Chen tried several times to get back on his feet, but ultimately failed.

"Long Ao, you've won, but I refuse to accept it. You didn't defeat me with your own strength, but with underhanded tricks."

Shaking his head, Long Ao said mockingly, "I just told you, the winner is king and the loser is the villain. Since I've won, you must submit. And for the record, the Heaven and Earth Array is no underhanded trick."

Su Chen wanted to say something, but in the end, he kept silent. After all, Long Ao was right—the winner is king and the loser is the villain.

'He was incredibly unwilling to accept this, but what could he do?'

"Su Chen, according to our agreement, you have now lost. However, seeing as you're a talented individual, I'll give you a chance. Choose to submit."

"Hahaha! Long Ao, don't even dream of it! If you had defeated me in a fair and open fight, I would have submitted. But as it stands, I despise you."

Before, Long Ao might have tried to find a way to make Su Chen submit. But now, deeply worried for Ao Xue's safety, he couldn't be bothered to waste any more words. He killed Su Chen with a single punch and sent his soul into the Dragon Seal Space.

After dealing with Su Chen, Long Ao didn't even wait to absorb his soul. He immediately left the Sect and headed for the Kyushu Spirit Realm.

「Kyushu Spirit Realm.」

There were four great forces in total: the Eastern Emperor City, the West Third Level Long Family, the Southern Netherworld Mansion, and the North Piaomiao Palace.

This was Long Ao's second time entering the Kyushu Spirit Realm. He had exhausted countless methods just to get here through a Teleportation Array.

Long Ao was quite frustrated with the Teleportation Arrays, as they were all controlled by the Four Great Forces. To travel back and forth, one had to get their permission.

Because of this, Long Ao had already decided that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely build some Teleportation Arrays himself to save him the trouble of coming and going.

Long Ao entered the Kyushu Spirit Realm with one destination in mind: the Imperial City.

Before coming, Long Ao had made a special trip to the Ghost King Sect. After all, Ao Xue had been captured from the Ghost King Sect by people from the Imperial City.

According to Ghost King Ao Tian, Huo Fen had captured Ao Xue for two reasons. The first was to lure him, Long Ao, to the Imperial City. The second was to find a wife for the Imperial City's Young Master.

'What kind of joke is this? If I'm late, won't my wife become someone else's?'

'A man who would even give up his own daughter, no matter how supremely talented, is still nothing but shameless in the end.' Long Ao had always looked down on Ao Tian in his heart.

Long Ao had already made up his mind. This time, after rescuing Ao Xue, no matter what Ao Tian said, he would absolutely not let Ao Xue return to the Ghost King Sect.

The Imperial City, one of the Four Great Forces of the Kyushu Spirit Realm.

The Imperial City controlled over a hundred towns, but the city itself was the core, its main base of operations.

Ordinary people couldn't set foot in the Imperial City at all; one had to possess an Imperial City qualification certificate. However, such a certificate was easy to obtain. After all, for a powerful Martial Artist, it was hardly a difficult task.

Long Ao obtained a qualification certificate and entered the Imperial City smoothly, though he did disguise himself a little.

Long Ao knew very well that he was currently the Imperial City's most wanted man. If he were recognized, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At a window seat in a luxurious restaurant.

"Sir, what can I get for you?"

Without any nonsense, Long Ao took out two Innate Beast Pills from his robes and said, "I want to know about the Imperial City's Young Master."

'The Imperial City's Young Master?'

The waiter muttered to himself, a puzzled look on his face as he asked, "I wonder which one you mean, sir?"

"Duan Tianfeng."

Sweeping the two Beast Pills from the table, the waiter asked in a low voice, "I wonder what you want to know, sir? My information is expensive. Different information, different prices."

'What a greedy waiter.'

Long Ao took out another ten Innate Beast Pills from his robes. "Is this enough?"

The waiter's eyes lit up. With a sly grin, he nodded and said, "It's enough. I wonder what you'd like to know, sir? If I know it, I'll tell you everything without holding back."

"Tell me everything you know."

"Right away. Duan Tianfeng is the youngest son of our Emperor City Lord, but he's also the most debauched. Usually..."

Here, the waiter shot him a meaningful look, his intention clear. He continued, "Duan Tianfeng comes out every day to have fun at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. But recently, I heard a rumor that for some reason he suddenly wants to get married. They say the other party is from an Ordinary Spirit Realm."

Waving his hand, Long Ao gestured for him to stop. He already knew who Duan Tianfeng intended to marry.

The waiter was just getting into the swing of his story when he saw the customer didn't want to hear any more. He was curious but didn't dare to cause trouble, so he bowed and scraped his way out.

"Duan Tianfeng, hmph."

Long Ao sat for a short while longer before getting up and leaving the inn.

The Hundred Flowers Pavilion was the most famous place in the Imperial City because the women there were all as beautiful as celestial fairies. The head Courtesan, in particular, was like a goddess descended to the mortal realm. However, no one dared to have any designs on her.

Everyone in the entire Imperial City knew that the Courtesan of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion belonged to the Imperial City's Young Master. Who would dare to provoke Duan Tianfeng?

Night had just fallen in the Imperial City, and the entire city was already brightly lit and bustling with crowds. It was even more lively than during the day, especially the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, which was the best place for men to seek pleasure and amusement.

The Hundred Flowers Pavilion was packed with people.

"Look, Duan Tianfeng is here again."

"Sigh, I wonder who's going to be unlucky tonight. What a sin."

"Fuck, what can you do? He's got a powerful old man. Who in the Imperial City dares to mess with him?"

Duan Tianfeng, the youngest son of the Emperor City Lord. Perhaps due to being overly spoiled, he ran amok in the Imperial City, committing every evil deed imaginable—everything except for good deeds. He was especially fond of beautiful women.

A few days ago, Huo Fen had brought back Ao Xue. Duan Tianfeng had become utterly infatuated with her after just one glance. But Ao Xue would rather die than submit. Left with no other choice, Duan Tianfeng could only bide his time. He hadn't come out for three days, but today he couldn't stand it any longer and finally came out for some air.

"Hahaha, where are my little beauties? Big brother has missed you to death!"

Duan Tianfeng had an effeminate appearance. Upon entering the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, he didn't even bother bullying anyone and headed straight for the head Courtesan's room, ready to go at it for three hundred rounds.

Seeing Duan Tianfeng enter the Courtesan's room, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, it meant Duan Tianfeng wouldn't be coming out again tonight.

「Inside the room.」

A stunningly beautiful young woman sat quietly. She was already used to this sort of thing, treating it as if she were experiencing sleep paralysis. With a blank expression, she accommodated Duan Tianfeng. After a full three hours of frenzy, he finally lay down, exhausted.

"Fucking awesome."

"Does it really feel that good?"

"It really does."
