Dragon War God

Chapter 829 – Azure Lotus Sword Manual

Long Chen initially thought that Wu Guangyu was a weak, spoiled brat who had only gotten to where he was because of his family’s protection and resources. However, to his surprise, this teenager wasn't a mere puppet, and he knew how to hide his true strength. In short, he was quite frightening too.

Long Chen only got to see how powerful Wu Guangyu truly was in a real duel. Usually, he was like an obedient child who did not have a temper when dealing with his own people. This showed that he was very good at acting.

Long Chen squinted. He had lost an opportunity, because he had not launched another attack while his opponent was still down. But even if he had taken advantage of the situation, he did not know what would happen. However, based on the current situation, it looked like Wu Guangyu had another trick up his sleeve.

The triple Emperor Seal combination could not kill him, so Long Chen was no longer confident.

“Could it be ...” Long Chen had a thought. If that really came true, then he would only have one choice—to use Blood Sacrifice.

Blood Sacrifice was a divine technique, but it may as well be a demonic one too.

Long Chen could become strong enough to defeat his opponent using Blood Sacrifice, but at the same time, his cultivation level would regress. It would injure his Martial Soul, and the Martial Soul was the root of cultivation. Although it would heal, his cultivation journey would be delayed if it was hurt too many times. Unless there was no other choice, he would not use it.

The crowd felt suffocated looking at these two youths, who were in a standoff again.

Then Wu Guangyu started laughing all of a sudden. He laughed loudly with his chin up, then glared at Long Chen with his blood-red eyes and said, “It looks like you worked very hard just to beat me. You’re the only opponent that has ever made me feel uncertain after all these years. But unfortunately, you’re just too unlucky ...”

“Unlucky?” Long Chen understood exactly what Wu Guangyu meant.

What a difficult bastard. Long Chen smiled and accepted it.

There was nothing Long Chen could not conquer in this world. He had more determination in his heart than anyone else. It did not matter what Wu Guangyu would do next—he would accept and resolve it!

“You’re brave!” praised Wu Guangyu. He was covered in blood but did not care. Some of the blood was on the Azure Lotus Sword too.

Whoosh.

Wu Guangyu charged at Long Chen with the Azure Lotus Sword. Long Chen’s vision suddenly dimmed, and he had a feeling that the azure shadow was the only thing left in the world. All he could see was the Azure Lotus Sword coming closer!

What a powerful sword technique! thought Long Chen.

A voice, which sounded like it came from a dream-like trance, rang in everyone’s ears.

“The Azure Lotus Sword Manual is an advanced Emperor-tier sword manual. The Azure Lotus Lord reached the peak of swordsmanship with it. You are very lucky to be killed by this technique ... Of course,it would be a different conversation if you could use the combat technique in the Three Thousand Star Clusters ...”

But Long Chen had not figured the Three Thousand Star Clusters out yet.

His whole world was black, and the only thing he could see was an azure lotus that was flying at his neck. He did not know the name of this technique, but it was ten times scarier than the Nineteen States of Sword Light from before!

“Azure Lotus Sword Manual, Living Beings Arise ...”

There was a whoosh, and the Azure Lotus Sword was already right before Long Chen’s eyes.

Long Chen did not hesitate to hold up the Three Thousand Star Clusters, and he swung it as hard as he could. The tip of the spear slammed into the Azure Lotus Sword. His swing was likely strong enough to block the previous Far-Reaching Sword Qi attack!

However, although the lotus looked gentle, it was an unstoppable force and was strangely fixed to one path. Long Chen’s mad swing only managed to move it by a tiny sliver.

“Long Chen, yield!”

Long Chen heard Bai Lan’s anxious shout at the final moment.

When the crowd saw that Wu Guangyu had used the Azure Lotus Sword Manual, they lost hope in Long Chen. They only hoped that Long Chen could survive, and the only way to do that was to yield.

“Yield?” This word did not exist in Long Chen’s vocabulary.

The lotus easily pushed away Long Chen’s Three Thousand Star Clusters, despite him using all his strength. Long Chen could not defend himself at all when it flew at his neck. This brat’s attack was indeed terrifying!

At that moment, Long Chen sensed that he was in mortal danger, and a chill ran down his spine. He was at the edge of death, and although he had experienced this many times, this time was much more intense. It was impossible to dodge the azure light!

Even Long Chen felt like he could not defend himself at all in front of the Azure Lotus Sword Manual, let alone other people.

This was the Azure Lotus Lord’s true combat technique from years ago.

Wu Guangyu was only at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, but he was already able to use the technique. This proved that he was extraordinarily talented too. However, Long Chen guessed that Wu Guangyu would reach his limit after using this technique. Considering Wu Guangyu’s essence reserves, he could only use this technique once at most.

In fact, he would probably be injured after using it.

However, Wu Guangyu thought that it was worth it if he could kill Long Chen.

The final moment was upon them. Long Chen could not defend himself—his Three Thousand Star Clusters Spear had been pushed away easily, while the Azure Lotus Sword’s path had only deviated slightly.

Long Chen heard many voices. There was mocking, there was a sharp cry, but he could not see anything. There was only azure light in his world.

In a very, very short time, the azure light reached his throat.

“Die ...” A voice that seemed to come from another world traveled into Long Chen’s ear. Long Chen knew that the faraway voice belonged to Wu Guangyu. It was ice-cold.

“Is that so?” Long Chen was still calm. He grinned. How exhilarating it was to make a gamble like that...

Long Chen was grinning at the face of death. This puzzled Wu Guangyu.

“No matter what, I will kill you.”

The azure light slashed across Long Chen’s throat. When Wu Guangyu felt Long Chen’s throat with his sword, he finally sighed in relief.

He was only bluffing before he died. I thought he had some other trick ... The azure light slashed across Long Chen’s throat, then it appeared over ten meters behind Long Chen along with Wu Guangyu.

Fresh blood dripped from the sword.

Everyone knew that it was Long Chen’s blood. The Azure Lotus Sword had slashed across his neck, and with Wu Guangyu’s strength, there was no chance Long Chen could've survived even with the Seven Star Body.

After using the Azure Lotus Manual, Wu Guangyu’s previous injuries worsened greatly. He had to squeeze himself dry in order to execute the attack, so he was completely spent. In fact, he was at his limit, as he was piling injuries on his previous injuries. Wu Guangyu could not stand steadily, and after the attack, he collapsed. Thankfully, he had the sword, so he supported himself on it and half-knelt on the ground.

More blood flowed from his body than from Long Chen.

Wu Guangyu’s face was pale. This was the most injured he had ever been, which showed how brutal the duel was. He had even used his final move, which he had not been willing to use before. He would've ended up injured from using this move even in his peak state, let alone now.

Thankfully, Wu Guangyu confirmed that Long Chen was dead.

He lifted himself up with great difficulty and turned around. All he saw was Long Chen's back, unmoving. Wu Guangyu knew that he would collapse very quickly.

“Long Chen!”

A chilling scream came from in front of Wu Guangyu. He looked up and saw the Demon clan’s princess, Suxue. She had fallen to her knees, her face pale and covered in tears. Her shoulders trembled as she cried. She was having an emotional breakdown.

Behind her, every person from the Demon and Thunder clans had a terrible expression, especially Bai Lan, whose eyes had turned a little red. He had known Long Chen for four months and considered him a talented youth who was one of their own. He never would have thought that this extraordinary young man would die because of him ...

For a moment, everything was silent.

As for the Divine Wind Faction, they looked at Wu Guangyu with pride and admiration.

Feng Zhilin’s gaze had softened completely. His power had conquered her heart. Without witnessing his battle, she would not have known that he was this strong.

Long Chen, the person she hated more than anything, was likely dead by now because his throat was slashed.

“Wu Guangyu is the strongest prodigy of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. From today onwards, no one will be able to challenge his position. Not even Jin Ling ...” said the Five Elements Alliance’s Ancestor Jin solemnly with a grimace.

After his remark, the Five Elements Alliance had no choice but to accept it.

Sword Warriors were just too powerful.

He had achieved the first stage of Sword Path Comprehension, combined with the Azure Lotus Lord’s inheritance. After some time, he would become like Wu Lian of the Divine clan.

Azure Lotus Lord, White Lotus Fairy. These two great inheritances would allow the Divine clan to become the number one clan of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory!

After today, the power structure of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory would change ...

The Long-Bearded Guest was also staring at both of them in shock. Long Chen had not admitted defeat, so he had not been able to save him. He also felt defeated because he was not able to help Long Chen.

“Alright ... Long Chen has died due to his oversight. The champion of this year’s Nine Clans Martial Youth Competition is Wu Guangyu of the Divine clan!”
