Dragon Blooded War God

Chapter 807: One-Strike Kill

“Don’t worry. It is still uncertain who will win.” Long Chen gave a nonchalant smile.

He’s too confident in himself. I don’t even know if this brat has reached the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage yet. He wouldn’t tell me. He’s always making people worry … She was speechless at the mysterious fellow’s behavior.

Among the bystanders, Lei Ji nudged Bai Lan’s arm and said, “Brother Bai, will this be a problem for Long Chen?”

Bai Lan smiled and said, “He knows his limits. We don’t need to worry about him.”

The Long-Bearded Guest started separating the participants, then he sent them into the ruins from eighteen different entrances. The ruins had a natural Confounding Array, so even though there was no mist inside, it was very difficult to find one’s bearings. Normal people could not even walk out of there, let alone meet each other at a designated spot.

Under the Long-Bearded Guest’s arrangements, Long Chen entered the ruins from a specific side. He could not see anyone else, and the ruins attracted his attention. Broken walls and structures were everywhere, and the surrounding buildings were very tall. After arriving, he realized there was an energy restricting him from flying.

If they could fly, the people of the Five Elements Alliance would be able to gather quickly.

Long Chen temporarily named the place Confounding City.

There indeed is a natural Confounding Array in this place. Even if I walk in a straight line, I end up on a crooked path. And everything seems to look different, yet they could be the same. You can’t use anything as a landmark.

This meant that people in Confounding City could only travel in random circles and rely on their luck. If they encountered an enemy, then it would be bad luck.

“This tiny Confounding Array can’t beat me. However, since you can still see everything within five hundred meters using your Soul Swallowing Gaze, I’ll let you do the work on your own. There won’t be a need for a god like me to do anything,” Little Cat said haughtily.

“Little Cat, can you tell what this pile of ruins used to look like?” Long Chen asked, studying his surroundings carefully.

“Uh … Because I saved you last time, I don’t have much of my powers left. Therefore, I cannot sense that …”

Long Chen knew the brat was only bragging and had never placed high hopes on Little Cat anyway. He continued to make his way through the ruins, studying his surroundings. Thanks to the Soul Swallowing Gaze, he had the offensive advantage here.

Wu Guangyu was the only one he wanted to kill, so he was not in a hurry.

If there is anything strange about Confounding City, the people of the nine clans would have found it a long time ago. I’m sure they have searched this whole place thoroughly. However, I still have a strange feeling. Confounding City was at the center of the Ancient Graveyard. With such a special location, it was likely to be a very important place.

Using the Soul Swallowing Gaze, Long Chen could indeed spot the other participants long before they saw him. This was a place of killing, and the moment anyone met each other, they would likely fight with everything they could. Since they all had Divine Space Talismans, they definitely would not show mercy. Long Chen did not have a Divine Space Talisman, so he was in actual danger.

Confounding City was much larger than Heavenly Wood City, and in addition to that, they could not find their bearings. Therefore, meeting someone was not an easy task either. However, with everyone walking around randomly, they would surely encounter each other if given enough time.

Long Chen did not plan to attack anyone voluntarily. Two hours after he entered, he spotted a Water clan youth with the Soul Swallowing Gaze. He did not attack but rather avoided him. Although he had already formed a grudge against the Gold clan after he took their Profound Golden Soul, it was best to minimize the enemies he made. He would only choose to fight if he had no choice.

The killing had already begun. Long Chen heard faint sounds of fighting from a vague direction.

“Whatever. I’ll go help Suxue and the others first so that they won’t get bullied by the participants who have grouped together.”

After making his decision, he walked in one direction. His path kept changing, just like when he was in the Nine Souls Purgatory, so he could not walk in a specific direction. However, he could still find whoever he needed to find with the Soul Swallowing Gaze, even if he was walking randomly.

After about an hour, he heard the sound of fighting nearby. Using his Soul Swallowing Gaze, he noticed a familiar aura.

“It’s one of the Thunder clan brothers.” After realizing that it was either Lei Wen or Lei Wu, he quickly rushed over. When he got closer, he sensed that there were two people attacking Lei Wen. With two Ninth Earthly Martial Stage against one, Lei Wen was surely at a disadvantage.

Long Chen rushed to the two people from the back. Based on their hair color and outfits, they were from the Five Elements Alliance. One was from the Fire clan and the other was from the Wood clan. The Fire clan cultivator was adept at fire-type attacks, while the Wood clan cultivator had powerful life techniques and all sorts of strange combat techniques.

Lei Wen was in a dangerous situation and had been struck several times. The damage had been blocked by the Divine Space Talisman. However, once the Divine Space Talisman exploded, he would be sent out.

Lei Wen was facing Long Chen, so he was the first to spot him. The other two cultivators did not see Long Chen. There was a flash of joy in Lei Wen’s eyes, but he quickly hid it away.

He wanted Long Chen to ambush them.

Long Chen smirked, then he used the Big Dipper Step and turned into a light gust of wind. In a flash, he arrived behind the Fire and Wood clan participants.

Dots of starlight suddenly shone all over his body, then they flowed and gathered in his palm. Immediately after, the Three Thousand Star Clusters appeared in his hand and he thrust it towards the person’s heart from behind.

At that moment, the Fire clan cultivator finally noticed him. To his endless shock, he looked back and saw Long Chen and the sharp Three Thousand Star Clusters!

“You ambushed me! Lowly imbecile!”

After he cursed furiously, due to the extremely brief window he had, the Fire clan cultivator could only thrust his finger outwards and shoot a beam of fire sword Qi out of his fingertip, colliding with the Three Thousand Star Clusters. He was at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage after all, so he had more essence than Long Chen. That was why he was confident that he could blast Long Chen’s Three Thousand Star Clusters away!

“Is that all you’ve got?” Long Chen smiled and gathered his essence. The Three Thousand Star Clusters turned into a ray of starlight, then pierced through his opponent’s palm and into his body. The Divine Space Talisman exploded with a blinding light, and by the time Long Chen’s Three Thousand Star Clusters stabbed him, that person was already transported out of the city.

He had defeated his opponent in one strike.

His performance was just too shocking. The Wood clan’s participant and Lei Wen stopped fighting. Lei Wen’s jaw dropped. He asked, “Brother Long, have you really reached the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage?”

Long Chen smiled but did not answer. He used the Big Dipper Step and pounced on the Wood clan participant. The guy was still filled with shock after seeing his mate get killed. He had not expected Long Chen to be this strong either. Now he was alone, while the other side had two people. He had no choice but to run …

“You lowly imbecile! How dare you ambush us! The Five Elements Alliance will not let you go! You wait and see!” The Wood clan youth quickly fled.

“You think you can run?” Long Chen did not move until the other person almost disappeared. That was when he used Blood Warp and burned up a small portion of his essence. In a flash, he was right behind the Wood clan youth!

“You’re going to regret not pursuing me now! When I get the chance, I’ll make you regret this!” The Wood clan youth got excited after he escaped Long Chen. With such a large distance between them, Long Chen would never catch up.

Suddenly, he felt a strong and sharp aura coming towards his back.

“How is that possible?” The Wood clan youth hurriedly turned around, and a blue ray of light shot through his forehead. His vision blurred, and when he woke up, he found himself standing outside the Confounding City.

“Mu Zhong, you’re out too? Did that brat Long Chen and Lei Wen work together to eliminate you?!” the Fire clan youth from earlier yelled. Behind him were the masters from the Five Elements Alliance, including their patriarchs and Ancestor Jin.

Not a long time had passed since the start, but four out of ten people from the Five Elements Alliance had already been eliminated. Two had been sent out by Wu Guangyu, while the other two, to their surprise, had been done in by Long Chen.

The Fire clan youth was very unwilling to accept defeat because he had been ambushed by Long Chen of all people. He had quickly rushed to vent to his elders, and they were all cursing Long Chen for using such a lowly tactic when Mu Zhong of the Wood clan was eliminated too.

“I … I don’t know …” Mu Zhong said woodenly, as he was still in shock.

The Wood patriarch stepped forward from the group and asked, “What happened?”

“I don’t know who got me. Long Chen and Lei Wen were standing together, and I should have escaped from them. Then I sensed a powerful aura behind me. I looked back, and a blue ray of light pierced through my forehead …” Mu Zhong said, still in a daze.

Everyone looked at each other in shock. The Fire clan youth asked in disbelief, “Blue light? Isn’t that the Three Thousand Star Clusters? Long Chen caught up to Mu Zhong and killed him in one strike?”

That was likely exactly what had happened.

Four people had been eliminated, two by Wu Guangyu and two by Long Chen. Didn’t that mean that Long Chen was on the same level as Wu Guangyu?
