Dragon Blooded War God

Chapter 380 - Blood Ocean Knife

Based on Yang Danfeng’s personality and the three Demon Elders’ expressions when they left the Demon Pavilion, Long Chen knew they would never let him cultivate in peace. That was why he hid Wang Xing away.

Just like that. I’ll increase my cultivation level during the day, and at night, I’ll cultivate the Demon Seed Planting Technique. Based on my current speed, I should be able to complete the second stage of the Demon Seed Planting Technique before the fight for the Demon Emperor Sword and even reach the Eighth River Stage.

Long Chen was confident he could do this.

It was almost night once again. Long Chen and Xiaolang came together to start cultivating the Demon Seed Planting Technique, and very soon, it was almost midnight.

Wang Xing had fallen asleep while cultivating.

Suddenly, Long Chen heard something, and his eyes sprang open. A black ray of light shot towards the yard’s door, which opened with a creak. Long Chen focused his eyes and saw that the beautiful Murong Yu was standing right at the doorway. There was still a veil covering her face, only revealing a bright pair of eyes staring at him. From her gaze, Long Chen saw a painful dilemma as well as solid determination. After she opened Long Chen’s door, her determination had defeated the dilemma.

“Why are you here?” Long Chen asked softly. He saw her as a true friend, so he was not hostile.

“I’m here to tell you something ...” Murong Yu looked up. “Long Chen, you haven’t seen your stepfather in a few days, have you?”

After that, Murong Yu immediately fled in a flash. She traveled quickly and disappeared into the night.

“Stepfather?” Long Chen’s gaze turned cold. He was no fool—he knew that Murong Yu was coming to give him a hint. He realized that he had been careless! He had been so focused on protecting Wang Xing that he had forgotten about Dongfang Xuanxiao. He had subconsciously thought that they would not dare touch Dongfang Xuanxiao because he was Zhao Qingyun’s son-in-law, but it looked like he had underestimated their viciousness!

Long Chen was furious, but he did not panic. He knew that Murong Yu was his friend, and since she had gone out of her way to inform him, then there was definitely time to get to Dongfang Xuanxiao’s place. He rushed down without hesitation, shook Wang Xing awake, and cried, “Wang Xing, here’s a task for you! It doesn’t matter where my master is, you must find him, then ask him to rush to Dongfang Xuanxiao’s place!”

Long Chen did not care if Wang Xing was fully awake. He called for Xiaolang and shot out like an arrow. Xiaolang quickly assumed his combat form, and because he could run much faster than Long Chen, he soon passed him and let him sit on his back. The boy and the wolf turned into a black shadow and shot towards Dongfang Xuanxiao’s quarters.

During this time, Long Chen’s eyes turned red. It had been two months; this time, his killing nature had been awakened once more.

He could tolerate anything, but not when they attacked his family because they could not beat him in battle!

Every dragon had a reverse scale, and death would come to anyone who dared touch it.[1] Dongfang Xuanxiao was Long Chen’s reverse scale. Despite not being his biological father, Dongfang Xuanxiao had given him many things. In fact, Long Chen would not be where he was today without his stepfather!

Killing intent slowly clouded his mind!

“Yang Danfeng, Demon Elders! You will not get away with this!”

***

Starlight shone upon the Little Bamboo Court.

This was a small piece of land filled with green bamboo. Xuanming loved bamboo, so Zhao Qingyun built an elegant house in this bamboo forest and called it Little Bamboo Court. After Long Chen arrived in the Heavenly Demon Palace, he had spent more time here than at the Azure Cloud Residence.

Xuanming, whose belly was starting to swell, was sound asleep. She needed more rest now that she was pregnant. Ever since Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuanming returned to the Heavenly Demon Palace, they rarely cultivated. They had fallen behind too much, so they could not catch up even if they wanted to. Plus, the Heavenly Demon Palace was a good place to rest and meditate. It was much more important for them to be with each other for the rest of their lives than to cultivate.

Of course, that was provided that no outsiders disturbed them.

Dongfang Xuanxiao kissed her forehead gently, then he stood up and went to the courtyard. He looked up at the bright starry river above him in the sky, then smiled weakly.

In my youth, with my infinite courage and determination, I wanted to conquer this starry river. But now, all I want to do is live a happy life with Ming’er. Xuanxiao, Xuanxiao, you’ve gotten old ...

When he thought about Xuanming, he smiled again. Ming’er likes this lifestyle, so I do too. I’m actually fine with living like this forever. This is the result of twenty years of waiting, and it was difficult. Just like Chen’er. I don’t know how long he and Miss Ling Xi will have to suffer before being able to live like me ...

To Dongfang Xuanxiao, his current life was much happier than Long Chen’s good days.

What Dongfang Xuanxiao couldn’t see was that just three hundred meters away, two people were sneaking in the dark. One of them was Yang Danfeng and the other was a disheveled-looking middle-aged man. He was bare-chested and covered in wounds all over. Beneath his disheveled hair were fierce, beast-like eyes.

“Yang Danfeng, thank you so much for this opportunity. Can you give me the Heavenly River Pills you promised me now?” He Tian asked in a hoarse voice as he turned around.

“As long as you can complete the task, I will keep my word.” Yang Danfeng was too lazy to play mind games with him. He tossed a Universe Pouch to He Tian and said, “Catch. Two hundred thousand Heavenly Pills. It’s enough for you to reach the Eighth River Stage. Remember this: kill Dongfang Xuanxiao and let Xuanming see your face. Then you can run. The further, the better. Don’t blame me if Zhao Qingyun chases after you and kills you!”

“I’m being paid to help solve a problem. I understand. Say no more!” He Tian checked the Universe Pouch in his hand and found that it indeed contained two hundred thousand Heavenly River Pills. He put it away, then he took out a large, blood-red knife and said emotionally, “Blood Ocean Knife! Today, you’ll finally have a chance to feast on some blood!”

“You’re useless! Do you really need an advanced Earth-tier knife to kill a First River Stage cultivator?” Yang Danfeng scoffed after glancing at the knife.

“Yang Danfeng, you don’t understand. When I kill someone, I always use the Blood Ocean Knife to cut them into pieces. Dongfang Xuanxiao deserves it more than anyone for bedding the woman I wanted! I must chop his body up so I can finally rest!” He Tian said.

“Alright. Go ahead, then! Hurry up and get it done quickly! Don't waste my time, or you’ll be the dead one!” said Yang Danfeng coldly.

He Tian glanced at him coldly, pursed his lips, then charged towards the Little Bamboo Court like a gust of wind. Along the way, bamboo was cut in half with level cross sections, and they tumbled in swaths to the ground!

Before he arrived, Dongfang Xuanxiao sensed the manic killing intent. He was initially immersed in the glow of love, but this sudden change made him panic, and he quickly shouted, “Ming’er, run!”

At this critical moment, the first thought he had was to save the pregnant Zhao Xuanming!

Since Dongfang Xuanxiao had reached the Heavenly River Realm, this shout was enough to wake her up immediately. Her first response was not to run, but to rush to his side. She looked afraid and pale, but there was determination in her eyes.

Dongfang Xuanxiao knew she would be like this. He sighed in exasperation, then stood in front of her. They waited to see who would emerge from the bamboo forest.

The man was muscular, his chest was bare, and he was wearing a pair of tattered pants. His face was dirty and disheveled, and he held a large, blood-colored knife that he rested on his shoulder. He walked up to them with insanity in his eyes.

“You two lovebirds! Do you remember me?” He Tian sneered as he walked up to them.

“He Tian!” Xuanming would remember him even if she was dead. When she was younger, he had pursued her like a madman, and when she returned much later, he killed his own wife and son in order to win her heart. But how could she like a madman like that? Therefore, He Tian was chased out of the Heavenly Demon Palace by Zhao Qingyun.

Zhao Xuanming had not expected him to return today. Previously, Zhao Qingyun had shown mercy and let him go, yet now he was here and clearly intended to attack. Did he not know remorse?

“He Tian, my father let you live, yet you dare return to the Heavenly Demon Palace. What is the meaning of that knife? Don’t you know what gratitude is?” Xuanming asked nervously. Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m n0v3lb(i)n.c(o)/m

“That’s the funniest joke ever! What even is gratitude? He’s the idiot who didn’t kill me. What’s that got to do with me?” He Tian burst into laughter.

“I’m going to leave the Cangyang Kingdom immediately, but today, I slipped into the Heavenly Demon Palace mainly to fulfill my last wish. Xuan Ming, I have truly loved you for many years, yet you decided to be with a useless prettyboy. That won’t do. I’m a true man! How could I lose to trash? Today, I will take his life. If you’re afraid of blood, don’t look. After I kill him, I’ll reward you, okay? You’re even pregnant! The trash’s child will probably also be trash. And trash has no right to remain in this world. Ming’er, tell me what I should do so I can kill this trash’s child without hurting you, haha ...”

Dongfang Xuanxiao drew in a sharp breath.

He Tian was at the Seventh River Stage, while he was only at the First River Stage. He Tian could kill him in one casual move! Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to live!

1. In some stories, dragons have a scale that points in a reversed direction compared to its other scales. It’s the Achilles heel of the dragon, therefore if you try to attack it, the dragon will be furious ?
