Chapter 8 - Bet
"Meteor Fist ..."
As he watched Yang Zhan's fist
flying towards him like a meteor,
Long Chen laughed calmly.
I wonder how big of a scandalit
would be if I defeated this i***t?
Will that woman look at me in a
different light? I'm looking forward
to it ...
Regardless of what he thought
previously, Long Chen wanted to
know badly how Yang Xueqing felt
about him.
"He's still just trash. He's just
standing there stupidly while Yang
Zhan uses his Meteor Fist."
Long Chen chuckled at the
spectators' comments as he faced
Yang Zhan.
"'m tens of thousands of times
more familiar with the Meteor Fist
Compared to you!"
He'd used Tiger Fist against Tiger
Fist, and now, he was using the
Meteor Fist to counter the Meteor
Fist. Long Chen wanted to
completely defeat Yang Zhan, both
physically and mentally. Yang Zhan
Would forever be haunted by his
traumatic experience.
A burst of starlight flashed even
more brightly! Under the influence
of the Constellation Body, the
power within Long Chen's Meteor
Fist was the strongest it had ever
been. His fist collided vwith Yang
Zhan's. Much to everyone's surprise,
Yang Zhan spat blood as he flew
back and fell to the ground. Long
Chen closed in, grabbed Yang Zhan's
collar with one hand, and lifted him
up.
The other cousins saw the fierce
look in Long Chen's eyes and
stepped back. None of them could
believe what they had just seen.
"He just defeated Yang Zhan, who's
at the Fourth Draconic Stage.
Impossible ..."
"Yang Zhan is so strong, how could
this mongrel defeat him? Perhaps
we didn't notice him using some
underhanded tactic!"
"Oh no! He's trying to kill Yang
Zhan!"
Everyone saw Long Chen hold Yang
Zhan in one hand as he clenched his
other hand. He stared coldly at Yang
Zhan.
Yang Zhan's mouth was filled with
blood, his eyes unfocused. Even
though his injury was serious, at
least, he was still conscious.
"Do you see now? l am stronger
than you. The title 'garbage' should
be given to you from now on.
You've insulted me far too many
times, and you will pay for it for the
rest of your life, and each time we
fight, it will be worse than the last
time. Prepare yourself hehe..."
"You f*****g animal .."
Yang Zhan spat blood as he saw
Long Chen's smiling face. Under the
glee was a fierceness that he had
never seen before. Yang Zhan
suddenly realized that the man in
front of him was no longer a bug he
could step on. Fear sprouted within
his heart, and he trembled.
"Are you shaking from fear?"
It was what Long Chen wanted. The
hate in his heart could never be
eased by just a single Meteor Fist.
The pain Yang Zhan had given him
for so long was not something that
could be resolved in a simple fight.
He chuckled as he raised his fist to
hit Yang Zhan a few more times
when a loud voice stopped him.
"Stop this now!"
Long Chen didn't even need to look
up to see who had arrived. It was
the Yang family's second strongest
youth, the daughter of his first
uncle, the arrogant Yang Lingyue.
Yang Lingyue was running over to
them, followed by two guys, one of
which was the same individual who
had gone out with her that day
while the other was roughly the
same age as Long Chen. Both of
them looked similar to each other.
They were the sons of Bai
Zhanxiong from the Bai family.
Long Chen's gaze stopped at Bai
Zhanxiong's youngest son, Bai
Shixun. He always visited the Jade
Palace Brothel and had used his
status as a cultivator to bully Long
Chen a few times.
When Bai Shixun saw that Long
Chen had defeated Yang Zhan, he
panicked. He hid behind his brother.
"Coward."
Long Chen laughed as he looked at
Yang Lingyue.
There's so much hate in her eyes. I
guess she wants to kill me. Long
Chen smiled coldly as he thought
about it.
When Yang Lingyue was almost
within arm's reach, he ripped off
Yang Zhan's clothes with his right
arm and threw him at Yang Lingyue.
Long Chen's sudden move made all
of the girls scream and turn around.
Yang Lingyue saw the n***d body
flying toward her and all the color in
her face drained away. She
screamed as her legs buckled
underneath her. There was no way
she could kill Long Chen now.
The guy behind her saw what had
happened and rushed forward to
catch Yang Zhan. He was just about
to cover up Yang Zhan with his
outer robe when Yang Zhan realized
what had happened and screamed
shrilly. He ran away, his buttocks
jiggling.
"Yang Zhan may be big and strong,
to think his skin is so soft and
tender. That is worthy of
celebration. Looks like he can still
earn a living even if he stops
cultivating."
Long Chen laughed out loud as the
others blushed and cursed him as a
pervert.
Long Chen had completely
destroyed Yang Lingyue's usual
elegant demeanor. She had fallen
completely to the ground, and when
Yang Zhan ran away, she glared at
Long Chen once again, her eyes
filled with killing intent.
"Yang Chen! How dare you break our
house rules? Beating up your sibling
and conducting such uncouth acts?
You are incorrigible! I'm teaching
you a lesson!"
Yang Lingyue, who was usually
mysterious and mature, was so mad
that even the two guys behind her
were unable to hold her back.
Today was just a simple match but
I've caused such a commotion, it's
as if l've done something villainous.
The others used to beat me
everyday but no one ever said
anything to defend me!
Thinking about his past, Long Chen's
eyes grew cold, and he glared at
Yang Lingyue.
Father is right! A man vwithout
power is nothing but a stray dog.
The only reason she is scolding me
today is that I am not strong
enough. But if I can defeat Yang
Zhan today, I can defeat you one
day, to0.
He took a few steps back and said
coldly, Yang Lingyue. Are you blind?
Yang Zhan was clearly the
perpetrator and was looking for
trouble early in the morning. He
insulted me too. But no one
expected me to succeed in my
cultivation and defeat him instead.
Plus, I didn't even kill him. Why are
you pinning all the blame on me? Or
are you trying to use this to remove
me? You think you can act so rashly
just because you are the eldest
sister?"
After hearing what Long Chen had
said, Yang Lingyue took her deep
breath. She had guests and she
needed to calm down. She
approached Long Chen and stared
at him coldly.
Long Chen was only sixteen years
old, but he was taller than Yang
Lingyue.
"Yang Chen, I've never really
expected anything from you before.
To think you hid your strength so
well. You only revealed it when you
reached the Fourth Draconic Stage.
But we are all siblings, SO why did
you hide your strength? Do you have
an ulterior motive? It doesn't
matter. Since you defeated Yang
Zhan and even humiliated him, our
third uncle and third aunt will not
forgive you. Even if I did not punish
you today, you will still face
Consequences."
Long Chen chuckled. "I look forward
to it. Let's see what the
consequences are. You'd better run
along now. Your two lovers are
waiting for you.
Long Chen said it so loudly that it
was nothing short of humiliating.
It was public knowledge that the
guy behind her definitely had
feelings for her. However, Bai Shixun
was his brother and was only
following him around! Calling them
Yang Lingyue's lovers was
tantamount to insulting and
criticizing her as a seductress.
Yang Lingyue was patient, but her
anger exploded, and she clawed at
Long Chen's neck, her Sixth Draconic
Stage Qi flowing from her body. Her
aura struck Long Chen like a
mountain crashing against him. Even
though Long Chen had the
Constellation Body, he felt
suffocated and a prickly pain rose
around his entire body.
Her attack didn't even land but it's
already so painful. Yang Lingyue is
far too strong and I don't have
anything to oppose her!
Just then, a hand blocked Yang
Lingyue, forcing her to back off.
Long Chen had been expecting Yang
Lingyue to wallop him to death, but
someone had just protected him. He
looked and saw that it was none
other than Yang Lingqing.
He had just injured her brother but
she had come to help him instead.
Sometimes. life gave you an
unexpected twist.
Yang Lingqing's hair was braided,
and she wore green martial attire.
She looked handsome and definitely
on par with Yang Lingyue.
Yang Lingyue said urgently, "Sister
Qing, what are you doing? He just
injured your brother and I am
punishing him."
Yang Lingqing apologized. "I know,
but my father and our first uncle
want me to bring Yang Chen to
them. I'm afraid I can't let you touch
him."
Yang Lingyue stared at Long Chen
coldly. "Your retribution is here. I
hope you get out of it alive. will
not let you live life peacefully since
you've insulted me!"
Long Chen scrunched up his nose in
disgust. "You have a lot of time to
spend on me, but I don't have any
time to deal with you. I have a
proposal to solve this, what do you
say?"
Yang Lingyue's brows furrowed.
"What are you trying to do?"
"The Family Meeting is just half a
month away. I will join too. We can
settle our dispute there. Do you
have the balls to give me half a
month?"
Long Chen's proposal caused a
flurry of discussion.
"What is he thinking? He's only at
the Third Draconic Stage and he
wants to defeat Yang Lingyue in half
a month? What a joke."
"I think he has a plan. He might be
trying to delay his death. Maybe he
will hide somewhere after half a
month."
Yang Lingyue stared in
bewilderment at Long Chen and
laughed. "You think you are hot shit
just because you got stronger in a
short period of time? The road of
cultivation is long and arduous. I've
been cultivating for ten years to
attain such results. You think you
can catch up to me in half a month?
Fine, I will give you half a month
and crush your stupid dreams at the
Family Meeting."
She left after those words.
The news of the bet between Long
Chen and Yang Lingyue spread like
wildfire within the Yang family,
turning Long Chen into a laughing
stock.
As they walked, Yang Lingqing kept
looking at Long Chen in awe. Finally,
she couldn't stop herself. "Say, how
did you do it?"
"What?"
Yang Lingqing looked at him
curiously. "I knew that you were
only at the Second Draconic Stage,
So how did you defeat my brother?"
His father had told him never to
reveal the secret of the Dragon Jade
Pendant, so he said nonchalantly. "I
was never at the Second Draconic
Stage. It's just that you were not
observant enough."
"Is that so?"
Yang Lingqing could only trust half
of his words as she checked out the
nonchalant youth. He had turned
into a mystery that was hard to
comprehend.
Yang Lingqing felt that she was not
capable of discovering the truth and
decided not to worry about it. They
sOon arrived at their destination and
Yang Lingqing said in a worried
voice, "My father and uncle are
inside. They might punish you. I
won't enter since there's nothing I
can do to help you. Best of luck."
Long Chen nodded. "Thank you for
saving me today, Lingqing."
