Chapter 21 - Five True Fists
Yang Lingqing had to be the girl
from the Yang family they
mentioned in the Warrior's Market.
Yang Lingqing treated Long Chen
extremely well and he truly saw her
as his Cousin. When he realized she
was possibly being bullied, he went
towards the source of the noise
without a word.
Based on the noise, Yang Lingqing
must've used the Meteor Fist
already. Conflicts between the Bai
and Yang family's youth didn't
used the Meteor Fist, it meant she
was furious.
Long Chen saw that a huge crowd
had gathered. There were many
masters among themn but no one
dared to stop the fight. Despite
their capabilities, it was a conflict
between the Bai and Yang families.
Why would they dare stop it? They
were afraid to cause problems for
themselves!
Long Chen didn't care about
offending anyone, and he squeezed
his way through the crowd. Indeed,
Yang Lingqing and a girl with fox-
like features were fighting
vigorously but Yang Lingqing was at
a disadvantage and looked like she
was about to lose.
Two middle-aged men chatted next
to Long Chen. They were owners of
shops nearby. "Yang Lingqing of the
Yang family is indeed talented but
Bai Zhixing of the Bai family is a
little older and she has attained the
Sixth Draconic Stage. Bai Zhixing still
has the upper hand."
"With a gap of one Draconic Stage
between them, it's already
impressive that Yang Lingqing can
endure this long."
"The Bai and Yang families are
usually cordial with each other, why
are the two girls fighting?"
"I don't know either. They were
already fighting when I arrived."
"I'm guessing it's because of the
right to rule. Things are going to
change in Baiyang Town
Long Chen rushed to the center
without a word. When he was about
to act, he heard Ling Xi exclaim
excitedly, "Hey, do you see that
young man? There's a Dream Lingzhi
Mushroom in the money pouch at
his waist. It's an intermediate
Yellow-tier medicine, it can nourish
the soul!"
As Long Chen ran, his gaze fell on
the young man who was standing
behind Bai Zhixing. "lsn't that the
other Sixth Draconic Stage person
from the Bai family, Bai Shidong?"
He was carrying the object of Long
Chen's dreams! What a coincidence.
Long Chen had to involve himself no
matter what for the Dream Lingzhi
Mushroom.
Long Chen's reactions made
everyone look at him in shock.
"That's ... that's the guy everyone's
talking about these days, the son of
the third Yang lady? I heard he's
already attained the Fifth Draconic
Stage. But he's still lacking
compared to these two Bai kids."
"I think he once defeated Yang
Lingyue, who is at the Sixth
Draconic Stage."
"That doesn't mean anything, I
heard he used his cunningness to
defeat Yang Lingyue. He isn't really
that powerful."
The eyes of the middle-aged men
were glued to Long Chen, and they
waited expectantly to see what he
would do. The others were mnuch
stronger and already at the Sixth
Draconic Stage, yet he still dared to
rush forward despite being only at
the Fifth Draconic Stage.
Long Chen's Constellation Body and
Fifth Draconic Stage Qi were
completely unleashed at this point.
His Qi was only a little less than
those of the other two, and his
Constellation Body made up for the
lack of it! Faint starlight glowed on
the surface of his skin. When she
sensed the familiar aura of
constellations, Yang Lingqing knew
that Long Chen had arrived.
She was both furious and frustrated
because her opponents definitely
had the ability to defeat her
completely. That meant they were
only seeking to humiliate her.
Yang Lingqing felt a sudden strong
force as Long Chen pulled her back
abruptly so that he was the one
facing Bai Zhixing. The
mischievously seductive Bai Zhixing
was toying happily with Yang
Lingqing but when a young man
suddenly appeared in front of her,
she was so startled that she fell a
few steps back.
The two parties finally separated.
Yang Lingqing looked at Long Chen,
pursing her lips. He saw that she
was about to cry and asked, "What
happened?"
Yang Lingqing looked at Bai Zhixing
in disgust and clenched her teeth. "I
don't know why but she started
insulting me the moment we met.
In the end, I couldn't hold myself
back and forgot about Grandfather's
warnings ..."
If someone as even-tempered as
Yang Lingqing couldn't hold herself
back, Bai Zhixing must've said
something extraordinarily vicious.
"She insulted you? How dare anyone
insult my cousin ..."
Long Chen looked at Bai Zhixing, his
eyes darkening.
"What's Sister Lingqing talking
about? We only exchanged a few
words and you started to attack
me. I was just about to ask you
why! Why did you say I insulted
you?"
Long Chen's glare scared the girl a
little but when she recalled Long
Chen's abilities, she grew bolder,
even feigning innocence.
Long Chen hated girls who were too
cowardly to own up to their actions,
the kind with innocent faces but evil
hearts. They committed evil deeds,
then pretended to be pitiful and
never admitted fault.
The matter should have come to a
close because neither side
sustained any injuries. However,
Long Chen wanted the Dream
Lingzhi Mushroom. Now that he had
an excuse, he wouldn't let them go.
He patted Yang Lingqing's shoulder
and said, "Lingqing, I've been your
COusin for many years but 've never
defended you before. Just watch."
Yang Lingqing instantly knew what
he meant. Everyone else understood
too, and looked at him like they
were looking at an i***t.
Yang Lingqing grabbed his arm
hurriedly to stop him. "No, it's fine.
Grandfather forbade us from fighting
with the Bai family. And, they've got
two people at the Sixth Draconic
Stage on their side. We ..."
Long Chen smiled, then pushed her
hand off gently. Yang Lingqing was
left in a daze when she saw the
determination in his eyes. He was
already in the center of the ring.
When the crowd observed Long
Chen's stubbornness, they started
whispering among themselves,
mocking him.
The twO middle-aged men looked at
him in surprise. "The kid's brave but
he's just a little too impulsive."
"That's true. People who have guts
but not brains will only have a pitiful
end. Knowing how to hold yourself
back and wait for a better
opportunity is the way to go."
When Bai Zhixing and Bai Shidong
realized that Long Chen wasn't
planning to back down, they
snickered coldly and started to
mock him. However, Long Chen
never even gave them the chance
to speak because the moment he
stepped out, his face grew dark and
he leapt off the ground with a
massive force. Long Chen shot
towards both of them; it looked like
he was planning to fight both at the
same time!
The crowd erupted in exclamations.
They didn't understand why Long
Chen was behaving this way. Even
the twO middle-aged men looked at
each other in confusion. "This kid ...
He's an odd one! He doesn't have
enough Qi but he's definitely got
guts ..."
Bai Zhixing and Bai Shidong gave
each other a look, and they saw the
contempt in each other's eyes. Bai
Zhixing had always been
competitive, so she took the first
step and blocked Long Chen.
Long Chen was already in front of
her. A powerful gust of wind
condensed on his finger and a
tornado formed instantly, spinning
furiously around his finger. The
whooshing sound of Qi made even
Bai Zhixing furrow her brows!
She smirked, then Qi exploded from
her body. With the support of her
powerful Qi, her right hand curled
into a fist and she punched before
Long Chen reached her. A thick,
condensed wave of power shot
towards Long Chen containing
multiple Fist Seals. "Five True Fists!"
In the blink of an eye, Long Chen
had to face five Fist Seals. He
smirked. He was prepared for this,
and he thrust a finger out. A
powerful tornado strong enough to
uproot trees blasted towards Bai
Zhixing! "Typhoon Nine Fingers!"
"First Finger, strike!"
"Second Finger, break!"
"Third Finger, revolve!"
"Fourth Finger, annihilate!"
Everyone was shocked that Long
Chen's powerful attack managed to
blast Bai Zhixing back multiple
times. He unleashed one finger
attack after the other and the Five
True Fists was diffused, completely
gone.
Although Bai Zhixing was mobilizing
her Qi with all her might, the
shockwaves of Long Chen's attacks
still made her blood surge. She
glared at Long Chen fiercely, her
face ghostly pale, and trembled
slightly.
Long Chen did not show a shred of
mercy in his attacks. Everyone
gasped when they witnessed his
manic techniques, especially Yang
Lingqing, for she only knew that
Long Chen had cultivated the
Meteor Fist. "When did he master
the Typhoon Nine Fingers? When he
uses it, it is much scarier than when
Sister Lingyue does! How many
fingers is his limit?"
Yang Lingqing's beautiful eyes were
fixed on Long Chen. He had saved
her and became her anchor. When
she saw how hard he fought, she
finally understood what he had
meant. Lingqing, I've been your
Cousin for many years but I've never
defended you before. Just watch.
The words echoed in Lingqing's
mind.
It was therapeutic for Yang Lingqing
to watch Long Chen unleashing his
Typhoon Nine Fingers one after the
other and see how pale Bai Zhixing
had turned. Her eyes reddened. She
already saw Long Chen as her real
older brother. Yang Zhan never
Would've defended her like this.
However, while Long Chen did fight
hard to defend her, he was also
fighting because he needed the
Dream Lingzhi Mushroom.
With a roar, Long Chen unleashed
another finger attack like a storm!
"Eighth Finger, universal destruction!
Bai Zhixing quickly protected herself
with her arms but the violent force
struck her, shredding her sleeves.
She cried out in pain, and blood
sprayed from her mouth!
Bai Zhixing collapsed in front of
Long Chen. Bai Shidong, who had
finally come to his senses, couldn't
believe his eyes. Then, his disbelief
turned to unbelievable rage.
He was standing less than a meter
behind Bai Zhixing. He was about to
explode with Qi to fight Long Chen
to death, not realizing that he was
Long Chen's true target. After Bai
Zhixing collapsed, Long Chen didn't
stop. As the tornado swirled on his
finger, he appeared in front of Bai
Shidong in a flash and thrust his
finger at his head. If Bai Shidong
received the hit, his head would
explode!
"Ninth Finger, sealed fate!"
The crowd gasped at Long Chen's
attack. Those who were observant
knew that Bai Shidong definitely
wouldn't be able to dodge such a
sudden attack.
Bai Shidong himself knew that Long
Chen's attack was too unexpected.
He kept unleashing more Qi and
backed up but there wasn't enough
time!
Death's shadow slowly crept in. The
finger shot at him like a sharp
sword. He felt all strength drain
from his body and his knees gave
out. There was a patch of coldness
in his crotch; he had peed himself ..
No one laughed at the wet spot.
Those facing death had the right to
pee on themselves ..
However, killing Bai Shidong was
certain to send shockwaves through
Baiyang Town. The mouths of the
spectators ran dry when they
thought about the consequences.
"This brat ... What the hell is he
thinking?"
