Chapter 218: We Shall Die Together
Chapter 218: We Shall Die Together
The Patriarch of the Eastern Azure Dragon family is in the Star Devil Prison! Long Chen was shocked by that thought. If it was true, their plan had been leaked. Their plan was going to be ruined right when it was on the verge of success. Mo Xiaolang and Xuan Ming might not be able to escape, and Long Chen and Dongfang Xuanxiao might undergo a terrible punishment.
Even Mo Xiaolang and Xuan Ming were horrified at what they heard.
We need to run out now! Long Chen did not hesitate. If he was right, Dongfang Xuanxiao was fighting the Patriarch alone. Although Long Chen would be of no help, Xuan Ming and Mo Xiaolang might be able to tip the scales!
Once out of the Azure Dragon Star, they could run far faster than Long Chen, especially Mo Xiaolang. He grabbed Long Chen and ran like the wind towards Dongfang Xuanxiaos location. Soon, they arrived at the crossroad and saw Dongfang Xuanxiao kneeling on the chains. He had suffered an injury and his face was pale. Even so, he had not given up while he snarled at the Patriarch. The Eastern Azure Dragon family Patriarch was standing in front of him with a smirk!
Long Chens arrival caught their attention. Dongfang Xuanxiao turned around and saw the woman he had been longing for. His eyes widened with shock before he started crying. He had not cried in twenty years, but he failed to control himself when he saw her again. Both of them had aged, and she was no longer the young girl he remembered.
Brother Xuanxiao. Xuan Ming couldnt control her body, feeling as if she had been struck by lightning. If it wasnt for Long Chen holding her, she mightve accidentally fallen off the chains. If she did, she would die down in the abyss.
Minger! Dongfang Xuanxiao shouted. He had always been serious and calm, but now he was very agitated. He ran towards Xuan Ming and hugged her tightly. He held her so tight that his veins showed on his hands. She hugged him back as if she was afraid she would lose him.
It was clear that their love for each other was very deep. Twenty years had passed, yet they still loved each other. Long Chen felt sourness in his heart. He pitied them because there was one more obstacle in front of them, one that was most likely insurmountable.
Ling Xi was already bawling in the sword.
If I were to be separated from him for twenty years, would he still think of me? Ling Xi could not shake off the thought.
What should we do? Mo Xiaolang pulled at Long Chen while his voice trembled. It was the Patriarch himself that had sent Mo Xiaolang onto the Azure Dragon Star, and now he was standing in front of them.
We react according to the situation. Long Chen felt powerless. He was the weakest one among them, so he could do nothing to help. His thirst for power had just grown a bit stronger. If he was strong enough, he could easily take over the situation now.
Their dream had come true after twenty years of enduring, but it was already on the verge of collapsing. Long Chen felt like the heavens had played a cruel trick on them. He only had one real father, Long Qinglan, the man who had given him the Dragon Jade Pendant and turned him into a Dragon Warrior. Therefore, Long Chen was reluctant to accept his stepfather as a true father figure. But it was undeniable that Dongfang Xuanxiao had helped him enough to at least be seen as a respected elder.
And now one of the men he respected the most would be facing the most painful moment in his life.
To every man, being unable to protect their loved ones was the most painful thought.
But the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch would never understand this. He smiled coldly and scoffed. Xuanxiao, did you think you could beat me in a battle of wits? I thought you would have forgotten her after twenty years, but to think you endured it. Unfortunately, you forgot one crucial thing, and that is how deeply I understand you. I understand you even better than your father did. Ever since you were young, your stubbornness and endurance were beyond your peers. You would never give up, and the behavior you exhibited back then has sold you out. I already knew what you were doing when you chose to have your stepchildren compete in the tournament to obtain the Azure Dragon Halberd. Did you think I would forget?
Dongfang Xuanxiao never even turned back as he caressed Xuan Mings long hair. Im sorry, Minger. I failed again. But dont worry, even if I die today, I wont let him send you back.
Brother Xuanxiao, we will die here together. Xuan Ming made her decision.
Taking one more look at her, Dongfang Xuanxiao nodded and turned around. He was not afraid of the Patriarch.
The Patriarch laughed at what they said. He was disgusted by their naivety, then he looked at Mo Xiaolang. To think that youve arrived at the late Heavenly Core Realm. You are full of surprises. Mo Xiaolang, if you agree to my condition, I will let you go. But first, I will have to deal with this disgusting couple.
The Patriarchs eyes grew serious.
Little devil girl, I heard that your father is one of the strongest people in the Cangyang Kingdom. I didnt dare to kill you twenty years ago out of fear, but I think your father has forgotten you after so long. As for you, Xuanxiao, I had expectations for you and hoped that you could become as strong as your father. But to think you would still be distracted with her even after twenty years. You havent even managed to enter the Heavenly River Realm. But even if you did, you would still lose to me. I will send both of you down to hell so you will not struggle anymore. I hate people that plot against me.
His words were like a death sentence to them. Long Chen clenched his fists tightly.
Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch Long Chens killing intent for the Patriarch intensified. There was always someone he really wanted to kill ever since he got here. First, there was the Grand Priest of the Blood Saints, and now the Patriarch of the Eastern Azure Dragon family.
Brother Chen I dont want them to die They shouldnt die Ling Xi was moved to tears by their relationship. Dongfang Xuanxiao was a kind man who had earned her approval.
But I dont have a plan, Xiao Xi Long Chens voice was filled with powerlessness.
Strength. Its always an issue with strength. Ive improved so much, but Im still so weak. How could I be content with myself? If I were to meet the same fate as Dongfang Xuanxiao one day, what could I do? Long Chen struggled with his powerlessness.
The Heavenly River Realm poised an immense threat to him.
Dongfang Xuanxiao glared at the Patriarch, his voice filled with despair as he said, Minger, Im so sorry Ive made you suffer. I regret it. If I hadnt fallen in love with you, you wouldnt have had to suffer so much.
Ive never regretted it. My instincts were never wrong. Brother Xuanxiao, if we have to suffer together, so be it. I dont care. I dont care even if I die. Their hands were firmly clasped together.
The Patriarch got angrier after seeing them ignore him. Dont waste my time! Fight me together!
Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuan Ming prepared themselves. Dongfang Xuanxiao turned around and told Long Chen, Im sorry for dragging you down. When we fight, find a chance to escape and never come back to the Lingwu family. Long Chen, if you grow strong enough one day, come back and kill this fucker!
Without waiting for Long Chens response, he led the attack with Xuan Ming to fight against the Patriarch at the Heavenly River Realm. Soon, their massive energy shook the entire chain. The three of them jumped and weaved on the chain without falling down.
It was extremely difficult to fight on the chain hanging over the abyss!
Brother, wait here! I will go and help. Mo Xiaolang brandished the Heavenly Wolf Dagger and ran towards the Patriarch.
With him joining the fray, Dongfang Xuanxiaos situation became slightly better.
You think the three of you at the late Heavenly Core Realm could escape from me? Dream on! The power of the Heavenly River Realm is beyond your understanding! Ive absorbed the power of the stars to dig out the river of Yin and Yang within my body! I will show you my true strength!
The Patriarch launched blow after blow, each of them containing the deadly power of the stars. The power behind them was several times stronger than Long Chens Meteor Fist!
Every time he punched, the chains shook violently! The destructive power of the stars melded with his Qi, launching an attack several times stronger than what someone at the Divine Core Realm could muster. Even the strongest fighter on their side, Dongfang Xuanxiao, spat blood twice after receiving the Patriarchs attack.
This was not the first time Dongfang Xuanxiao had fought against the Patriarch, but the power of the stars was still his nemesis. Xuanxiao was currently using an advanced Black-tier halberd!
Azure Dragon Combat Technique, Starsweep Dragon! he shouted.
His move caused the chains to rattle violently. Long Chen saw several beams of light shoot out of the tip of the halberd, forming a rain of illusions of miniature dragons. All of the dragons crashed into the Patriarch, their roars containing immense power.
Your Starsweep Dragon is impressive! Its almost as strong as an attack from someone at the Heavenly River Realm! But its weak without the power of the stars! The Patriarch laughed.
Long Chen stared in disbelief.
Is that Starsweep Dragon? Xiao Xi, do you think I should do something?
Doge & Chacha's Thoughts
Noooo they must live! I can't take it if both Dongfang Xuanxiao and Xuan Ming died here
