Dragon God

Body

Chapter 6 - Constellation

Body

To Long Chen, Huang might be a

cowardly underling, but he had been

following Long Chen for six years.

Long Chen also treated his loyal

underling well. And now, an

anonymous enemy had taken

Someone like Huang hostage

instead of fighting Long Chen

directly! How could he remain calm?

Long Chen knew that Huang had

sick parents to take care of. If

something happened to him, Long

Chen would feel guilty!

He tore the note up and rushed out

of the Yang Residence like a gust of

wind, heading towards the Sunset

Hotel.

The Sunset Hotel was near the Jade

Palace Brothel. Long Chen picked up

his pace and wWOve through the

crowds like a wind. The people on

the street felt a gust blow past

them but when they turned around,

they didn't even see a shadOw.

The brightly lit lanterns of the

Sunset Hotel made it visible against

the night sky. As Long Chen got

closer, it got more crowded. He had

no choice but to slow down as he

approached the main gate.

Just then, a horse-drawn carriage

ran out from the left side of the

street. The pedestrians jumped

away and cursed, but the carriage

did not slow down. Long Chen

could've easily run past the carriage,

but at the critical moment he heard

a child's cry. A child was in the path

of the carriage.

The child would be reduced to a

paste if the speeding carriage hit

him. Long Chen's heart skipped a

beat as his body reacted instantly.

He was perfectly capable of

dodging the carriage, but instead of

doing so, he hugged the child and

steeled himself. The carriage hit

Long Chen's back and sent him

flying.

Everyone gasped, believing that

both Long Chen and the child had

died. However, Long Chen changed

direction in mid air and landed

lightly on his feet. He put the child

down and didn't even take time to

console the child before he

disappeared to save Huang. No one

even saw what he looked like.

The scene of the crash was chaotic,

and Long Chen felt pain on his back

as he entered the Sunset Hotel.

As he crossed the doorway, Long

Chen almost bumped into someone.

He raised his head and was almost

blinded by a dazzling young boy.

The boy was around fourteen to

fifteen years old, slightly younger

than Long Chen. Even though Long

Chen was considered fairly good

looking, the boy in front of him was

ridiculously good looking. If not for

his Adam's apple, Long Chen

would've thought he was a girl.

They almost bumped into each

other. Long Chen and the boy stared

at each other.

"Are you a boy or a girl?"

Long Chen's tongue slipped and he

blurted the question out.

Long Chen's question was

embarrassing, but the handsome

young boy did not get mad. He

stared at Long Chen calmly and

pointed at his Adam's apple, "I'm a

boy."

His face was serious but his voice

was so melodious that even Long

Chen felt his heart skip a beat. It

was a remarkable feat since Long

Chen was already used to the

flirtatious voices of the prostitutes

in the Jade Palace Brothel.

Long Chen silently cursed himself

for thinking such thoughts. He still

needed to rescue Huang so he ran

past the boy into the Sunset Hotel.

"I saw you saving a child. You saved

à life. "

The boy said behind Long Chen's

back. He was surprised that Long

Chen had rushed into the hotel. The

young boy kept quiet as he watched

curiously. He wasn't offended at all,

and instead, he was impressed with

Long Chen for saving the child's life.

"He's like my brother and he has a

faint scent of the constellations on

his body. He probably cultivated

something related to the

constellations, and I haven't used

the 'Constellation Body' in quite a

while .."

The young boy continued to talk to

himself as he watched Long Chen

walking deeper into the hotel.

When Long Chen walked in, he felt

an intense gaze trained at him. He

turned around and savw Yang Zhan

sitting next to a window with a

pretty lady opposite him.

Yang Zhan is here too. Is he the one

who took Huang hostage?

As he looked at the girl in front of

Yang Zhan, Long Chen shook his

head. If Yang Zhan wanted to

dispose of me, he wouldn't need to

do such things. And it seems that

he's here for the girl.

Long Chen did not stop and went

up to the second floor of the Sunset

Hotel. The note had told him to go

to the Peony One roomn. He could

no longer hold in his anger as he

reached the door and opened it.

The room was in complete

darkness.

He had just entered the room when

Long Chen felt a sharp object

closing on him. He quickly dodged

and looked around. His attacker

reached the door, closing it and

staring coldly at Long Chen. Long

Chen saw Huang tied up with rope.

He had a cloth gag in his mouth.

Long Chen saw Huang's expression

flash from panic and anger to

sadness as he shouted through his

gag.

Next to Huang was another man.

Both the kidnappers wore masks

that covered their faces completely,

but they were filled with killing

intent.

They were the same guys who had

tried tO assassinate Long Chen that

night. Long Chen still couldn't figure

out why someone would want to

kill a minor character like him?

"Who are you guys? Why are you

targeting me?"

"We are merely being paid to

remove an obstacle. No need to ask

too many questions. Die, Yang

Chen!"

The men swung their blades fiercely,

and the blades ripped through the

air, flashing as they headed towards

Long Chen.

They both have the same amount of

Qi as I do, but they are much more

experienced in battle. They must've

killed sO many people. These guys

are at least a hundred times more

dangerous than Chen Liu. If I don't

fight with all my strength, I will die!

Looking at their movements, they

must be used to fighting in pairs. I

need to defeat one of them first to

reduce their combat strength!

In the dark night, Long Chen's eyes

grew cold as the two blades

approached him quickly. He twisted

his body to one side to break

through the assailants' formation

while they chased after him.

"Gust Blades!"

With the sound of tearing wind, one

of them closed in on Long Chen, his

blades growing closer.

When he saw that the gap between

the two men in black had widened,

Long Chen clenched his teeth and

circulated all of his Qi. Instead of

running, he launched himself at the

closest assailant!

"Meteor Fist!"

A burst of starlight flashed in the

dark room and blinded one of the

assailants before he felt a strong

force deflect his blade and land on

his body.

Bam!

The assailant in the lead spat blood

as he crashed into the other one.

Long Chen did not stop and

continued to rush forward. He took

the fallen blade and stabbed it right

through his attacker's heart. Blood

sprayed on Long Chen's face and

shirt.

The fight might've seemed basic,

but it was filled with danger. Long

Chen's biggest opportunity had

come when the sudden flash of

light from the Meteor Fist

temporarily blinded vision. The

Meteor Fist was also an

intermediate Yellow-tier martial

technique, comparable to the

strongest attack of a Third Draconic

Stage cultivator. This was why Lon

Chen had managed to injure and ki

one of them sO easily.

When the other one saw that his

partner had died, he didn't even sa

anything as he ran out from the

window, staring at Long Chen in

fear. Long Chen was about to give

chase and ask who had hired them

when the door opened. Yang Zhan

stood at the doorway. When he sa

the dead man on the floor and Lon

Chen's face caked in blood, his

brows furrowed in frustration.

"Damn animal. Why are you so

stupid? Just because you've gained

a little strength, you decide to kill

someone in the Sunset Hotel? Don't

you know that l am good friends

with the owner Boss Qing?"

Long Chen ignored him as he undid

Huang's ropes. "Huang, leave now.

We will talk about it later."

Two assassins-one dead and the

other escaped. Huang stared at

Long Chen in awe but realized that

Yang Zhan was not an ally. Huang

was afraid of Long Chen's safety but

there was nothing he could do. He

ran off as if he were trying to look

for help.

Yang Zhan's face contorted when he

noticed Long Chen ignoring him.

n/o/vel/b//in dot cl/om

A fat man in lavish clothing behind

Yang Zhan saw the b****y scene

and his face paled. "Sir, you've gone

too far. Many of my customers were

chased off by the b****y fight. It

seems that my business is going to

be in trouble."

Both Boss Qing and Yang Zhan were

cooperating to ensure that Long

Chen would face a harsher penalty.

However, Long Chen had just killed

someone, and his killing intent was

at its peak. A single glare from him

was enough to make Boss Qing

stagger back.

Still, Long Chen did not want to

fight Yang Zhan, who vwas at the

Fourth Draconic Stage and had

mastered many martial techniques.

Long Chen was not a match at all

for Yang Zhan, and he could only

endure.

Regardless of Long Chen's attempts

to de-escalate the situation, Yang

Zhan was still angry.

Yang Zhan had long hated Long

Chen. After bullying Long Chen for

SO many yearS, Yang Zhan felt that

Long Chen had challenged his

authority as soon as he'd got

stronger, especially since he also

hurt Chen Liu. Previously, he could

only suppress his anger, but now his

hatred of Long Chen emerged once

again. Looking at Long Chen's eyes,

Yang Zhan's killing intent started to

leak out.

"... I already spared you when you

hurt Chen Liu the last time, but you

dare to sully the Yang family's name

today? Looks like I have to teach

you a lesson or you will think no

one will keep you in check!"

Yang Zhan took a few steps forward

as his oppressive aura enveloped

Long Chen.

This bastard ... is strong.

The Fourth Draconic stage was no

joke. Yang Zhan's imposing glare

was like a large mountain, causing

Long Chen to slowly back away.

Still, he held onto the blade in his

hand, blood dripping down the

sharp edge. Long Chen's gaze was

fierce, as if he really wanted to fight

with Yang Zhan.

Yang Zhan saw Long Chen's fierce

appearance and got even angrier as

he clenched his teeth. "You damn

mongrel. You dare challenge me?

Don't think of staying alive if you

don't kneel down and lick my toes!"

Long Chen remained silent as he

stared at him coldly.

If Yang Zhan was really forcing him

to fight, Long Chen would make

sure that Yang Zhan paid the price

even if it cost him his life.

Just as the twO of them were about

to fight, the lady sitting with Yang

Zhan appeared from behind Boss

Qing. She saw the b****y scene in

the room and her face paled as she

took a few steps back.

"Brother Zhan, please don't fight.

Let's leave

Yang Zhan calmed down before

staring right back at Long Chen.

"Fine. I will let you live one more

day. I will show you the true

meaning of suffering tomorrow

morning."

He hugged the girl and left with her.

Long Chen sighed as he let go of

the blade.

"Yang Zhan, it seems that our

hatred for each other has only

increased. I am already at the

threshold of the Third Draconic

Stage. When I become stronger

than you, you'll be the one to know

the true meaning of suffering."

One assassin had died, while the

other had run away. Not only did

Long Chen fail to find out who had

employed the two men, he was also

worried the escaped assassin would

Come back with more assassins.

This was not a place to stay long so

Long Chen left quickly.

As he went down, he saw Huang

waiting for him anxiously. He sighed

in relief when he saw that Long

Chen was fine and quickly told Long

Chen, "Young Master Chen, I had

just run down when a pretty boy

told me to pass this tO you. He said

that he appreciated you a lot but he

had to leave first due to some

matters."

Long Chen was confused but

remembered that pretty young boy

earlier. As he thought about the

boy's voice and serious expression,

he cautiously took the book in

Huang's hand. He opened it up and

saw the characters "Constellation

Body" on the front page.

"The young boy said that this

particular technique complements

your Meteor Fist. Since you saved a

child today, he decided that you

were a kind person. He said that he

no longer needed this so he's giving

it to you."

Long Chen nodded and read more

about the Constellation Body.

This is an intermediate Yellow-tier

technique...

I saved a mere child but he gave me

the book so I could cultivate the

Constellation Body. It seems that

he's not an ordinary person. Maybe

a disciple from a larger sect rather

than someone from Baiyang Town.

Fine, I guess this is fate. I also need

this urgently. I will just repay him

the next time l see him.

Long Chen smiled and told Huang to

go back home before returning to

the Yang family himself.

absorb the power of the

constellations and emnbed it into the

skins, bones, and flesh ... temper it

day and night, and the Constellation

Body will be completed after

perseverance... sands and stones

fly while walking and a mere fist

contains as much power as a

martial technique...

"The Constellation Body is not just a

martial technique but a Body

Tempering method! It's rarer than a

regular martial technique."

"The Constellation Body is divided

into twO stages, the incomplete and

complete stages. Although the

mantras are difficult, l can somehow

understand them. Tonight's sky is

filled with stars. I can use them to

cultivate the Body Constellation

technique. As long as I am

Successful, my attacks will contain

the strength of a beginner martial

technique! I can escape from Yang

Zhan, or at the very least, fight on

equal strength!"

To Long Chen, the method to

cultivate the Constellation Body was

not difficult.

Under the starry night, his

cultivation of the technique went

smoothly.

After a short period of time, his

body reflected the starlight in the
