Chapter – 179 Captain Long Ce
Long Yu and Liu Yuan coordinated with each other and finally managed to strike Long Ji.
Although Long Yu would’ve eventually defeated Long Ji even without Liu Yuan’s help, it would’ve been far more difficult.
“Kill him!”
The same thought reverberated through Long Yu and Liu Yuan’s mind.
However, at this time, a fierce suppression power of the blood dragon domain enveloped them. The attack was full of murderous aura which terrified the onlookers.
“Dodge!”
Long Yu’s complexion changed as soon as he detected the attack. Without thinking about anything else, he held Liu Yuan and immediately flapped his lunar wings to dodge away.
This time, Long Yu had stimulated the lunar wings to flap at the fastest speed.
The blood dragon roared loudly once more and released a huge amount of murderous aura. No wonder it was the Zhenling of a sixth layer expert!
It was impossible for Long Yu and Liu Yuan to kill Long Ji right now. The only thing they could do was to run for their lives.
Luckily for Long Yu, he had achieved a state of resonance with his lunar wings. Due to this, his speed was so high that it was impossible for any Zhenling sixth layer expert to catch him.
A moment after Long Yu had taken Liu Yuan with him while dodging Long Ji’s attack, he appeared right in front of the entrance to the Liu mansion.
Long Yu looked up and saw two familiar figures standing right behind the blood dragon.
“It’s the princess and the knight in golden armour, I saw them in the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest!”
Long Yu’s eyes flashed!
He saw Long Ji panting at one side. He immediately understood that this blood dragon was not released by Long Ji. The knight that accompanied the princess had released this Zhenling!
This blood dragon’s attack was so fierce that it had caused Long Yu and Liu Yuan to draw back.
The two noble figures stood beside the distressed Long Ji.
The young girl was wearing a pure white silk dress with a beautiful garland attached to it. She had a gentle face and was smiling. This girl was the princess of Imperial Chu clan.
The young knight, wearing shiny golden armour, belonged to the Long clan.
When Long Yu had earlier seen this young knight in the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, he was unable to assess his cultivation level. He only knew that this young man was just too powerful. However now, Long Yu knew that he had a cultivation level of Zhenling sixth layer!
“Look, isn’t he the chief of the princess’ bodyguards, Captain Long Ce?”
“He indeed is Long Ce! This Major General Long Ji is unworthy of his rank. First he got beaten up by a boy of Zhenling third layer and now it seems that Captain Long Ce isn’t going to spare him either.”
“Hahahaha”
“Doesn’t the Zhenling third layer boy also belong to the Long clan? It seems like today is the day of Long clan’s feuds!”
“Long Yu was expelled from the Long clan years ago. It would be highly inappropriate to consider him a member of Long clan.”
The onlookers whispered among themselves. They didn’t dare to speak loudly.
After all, the princess of Imperial Chu clan was present there.
The chief of the princess’ bodyguards, Captain Long Ce!
Long Yu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the knight. Finally, he knew this young man’s name!
Long Ce didn’t look much older than Long Yu. Nobody could imagine by looking at him that he might have stepped into the Zhenling sixth layer. Perhaps he was one of the nine young masters of the Tang kingdom.
“Mo Fengming of Mo clan must also have stepped into Zhenling sixth layer. He ranks third among the nine young masters of Tang kingdom. Long Ce seems stronger than Mo Fengming. He must be ranking second!”
Long Yu thought to himself as he assessed Long Ce’s strength.
At present, he wasn’t a match of Long Ce!
As Liu Yuan calmed down, the shadow floating in the air dissipated.
Although Long Yu had saved her life, she was not quite grateful to him since she just missed a chance of killing that hateful Long Ji. Hence, she was maintaining a distance from Long Yu.
She wanted to get revenge for Xin Yueya at any cost, even if killing Long Ji meant having to flee from the Tang kingdom and abandoning her sect.
Her white hair, waving in the light breeze, was attracting the attention of several people.
But the coldness of her facial expression was enough to make anyone tremble like a leaf.
“Don’t be impulsive.”
Long Yu said.
He was able to feel the intense murderous aura that she was releasing. With a Zhenling sixth layer master present at the scene, it was now impossible for them to kill Long Ji.
Rushing the matter would only lead them to their own death!
Liu Yuan didn’t reply to Long Yu. She continued staring at the distressed Long Ji, who was in immense pain due to being struck by Long Yu’s fist. The nine hidden dragon qi was still corroding his meridians.
This filled her with a little satisfaction. Even though she couldn’t kill Long Ji, he was still suffering.
Certainly, pain and death were two different things.
Had it been possible, Liu Yuan would have kicked Long Ji straight to hell in order to avenge the death of her best friend.
“Long Yu, long time no see!”
Long Ce, with a face full of arrogance, chuckled disdainfully as he looked at Long Yu.
His laughter seemed to be ominous.
Earlier at the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, Long Yu told him that he had been brought up at the Ling clan villa. It was only after Wang Tianzhuo made inquiries, his real identity was exposed.
Long Ce had certainly not taken it well.
This Long Yu had been fooling him all the time in the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest!
Had he earlier known his true identity, he would’ve killed Long Yu right there. Long Yu wouldn’t have been able to resist by any means back then.
However, at this time, Long Yu could escape from Long Ce!
“It certainly has been a long time.”
Long Yu stood there, maintaining his poise. He was carefully assessing Long Ce’s strength.
If Long Ce tried to kill him, how would he defend himself?
Or should he turn around and escape?
If he was to escape, how would he compete in the seven sect competition? Who would save the integrity of the other six sects by defeating Yu Qianning?
“Since you also belong to my Long clan, as your cousin, I want to learn from you. Let’s see what all skills have you inherited from your father.”
Long Ce stepped forward and smiled viciously. A strong murderous aura was being released by his body.
Undoubtedly, Long Ce wanted to kill Long Yu.
There were many reasons behind this.
Most of the people of Long clan had always hated Long Yu. Moreover, since he injured Long Ji who was his clansman, Long Ce had all the more reason to kill Long Yu.
As the entire field was filled with Long Ce’s murderous aura, the murmurs soon faded into a complete silence.
All the people stood there to witness a good fight. For them, this fight was going to be far more entertaining than any of the fights of the seven sect competition.
“Long Yu has gone against all odds to injure Long Ji. But I don’t think he would be able to defeat Long Ce.”
“You are right. He is just a Zhenling third layer expert, while Long Ce has a cultivation level of Zhenling sixth layer! The disparity between their cultivation levels is huge!”
“Long Ce ranks second among the nine young masters of the Tang kingdom. If the Chu clan has appointed him for killing someone like Long Yu, they are simply wasting his talent.”
“Do you know why he wants to kill Long Yu? They say that Long Yu’s rate of progress is far more than anyone else in the entire Tang kingdom. If he isn’t killed right here right now, he would become a greater threat for the Long clan later on.”
“A Zhenling third layer boy will be a threat for the mighty Long clan? Are you out of your mind?”
Everyone stared at the field without blinking even for once. They didn’t want to miss a single moment of the fight.
However, just as Long Ce was about to launch his blood dragon towards Long Yu, a tall figure blocked his path.
“Foster father!”
It was Feng Longsong who had stepped forward and blocked Long Ce’s path!
Long Yu felt that not only Feng Longsong’ cultivation level had been fully restored to Zhenling fifth layer; he was also progressing towards breaking through to the next layer!
Butian Dan had proved to be quite useful since it healed all the injuries that Feng Longsong had received in addition to unblocking all his meridians.
All the spiritual influence that was being accumulated inside his body for twenty years was now at work; it was enough to let him have a breakthrough to the next layer!
“Back off!”
Feng Longsong roared as he stood firmly ahead of Long Yu.
If anyone wanted to hurt Long Yu now, they must fight Feng Longsong first!
Feng Longsong definitely had a far better combat experience than any of the people present there, since he had spent a long time in the Tang army, battling with the Mongolian and the Japanese armies.
Feng Longsong was more like an impregnable fortress which was protecting Long Yu!
“What?”
Looking at Feng Longsong, Long Ce wrinkled his eyebrows.
He certainly recognized Feng Longsong the moment he saw him but never expected to see him in a restored state.
“How is this even possible?”
Long Ce thought to himself as he continued walking towards Feng Longsong and Long Yu.
To him, Feng Longsong, being at Zhenling fifth layer, was committing a huge folly in trying to stop him as he had a cultivation level of Zhenling sixth layer!
So, he continued moving forward fearlessly.
Just then, some people rushed out of the Liu clan mansion. Among these people was Feng Longsong’s wife, Liu Yu!
“Longsong!”
Liu Yu shouted as she anxiously pushed the people out of her way to reach her husband.
Although she had left her husband spitefully, in some corner of her heart, she still loved her husband. Her life was incomplete without her husband, Feng Longsong and her daughter, Feng Yao.
Liu Yu saw her husband trying to block Long Ce’s path in order to save Long Yu. She couldn’t stop herself from shouting to stop her husband.
“Longsong, get away quickly. You can’t defeat Long Ce. You can’t match Long Ce’s strength!”
Liu Yu shouted.
“Just shut up!”
Feng Longsong didn’t move a bit. He was determined to stop Long Ce and protect Long Yu. He continued staring at Long Ce as he approached him.
“I owe my whole life to General Long. I will protect Long Yu even if I die protecting him!”
With these words, Feng Longsong slowly walked towards Long Ce.
At the same time, his body was gaining more and more power as the spiritual influence began its work by seeping through his heavenly arteries and finally congealing a Zhenling entity in his Dantian.
Feng Longsong was presently stepping into the Zhenling sixth layer!
All the people were dumbfounded by whatever was happening before their eyes.
