1704: Chapter 1694: Dragons Have an Inverse Scale 1704: Chapter 1694: Dragons Have an Inverse Scale Great Flame City, within a mansion in the city center.

“Young Master, the message has already been sent to the Zhenyang Sect, and if nothing unexpected happens, Long Yan will arrive in Great Flame City today!”

The elderly man stood in front of the black-clothed young man, speaking respectfully.

He had sent someone to deliver the message to the Zhenyang Sect, and by his calculations, the time was about right.

“Long Yan will definitely come.”

The black-clothed young man said indifferently, yet his expression carried a hint of concern.

“Young Master, with Yu Wuxia in hand, Long Yan has no choice.

What are you still worried about?”

The elderly man, noticing the concern in the black-clothed young man’s heart, asked softly.

“If it were against anyone else, I would naturally have no concerns, but we are dealing with Long Yan, the only person whom I cannot fully grasp.”

The black-clothed young man spoke, “In the battle at the Ancient City of Taihuang, Long Yan slew a Demon Lord who had survived three Divine Tribulations, his strength is truly terrifying.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the Innate Five Elements Origin, I would not want to be his enemy.”

In the current imperial area, Long Yan’s reputation was at its peak, and his strength was unfathomable; few people wanted to provoke Long Yan.

“Young Master, once you obtain the Innate Five Elements Origin, you will become a true Five Element Body, and your talents will not be inferior to Long Yan’s.

It will even be possible for you to go to that vast Holy Domain,”

said the elderly man.

“Success or failure hinges on this one move!”

The black-clothed young man took a deep breath, a fierce light flashing in his profound eyes.

Just then, a thunderous shout suddenly erupted.

“All the people of Great Flame City listen, I am Long Yan, all unrelated personnel evacuate Great Flame City!”

This voice was heavy and cold, spreading to every corner of Great Flame City, causing the entire city to tremble.

“Long Yan, the Sect Leader of Zhenyang Sect, why would he come to Great Flame City?”

“Long Yan is here, run!”

…

For a while, the entire Great Flame City was thrown into chaos, everyone fleeing towards the outskirts, without a care for anything else.

With reputation as great as the shadow of a great tree, nobody dares to stir trouble under its shade!

Very quickly, the entire Great Flame City turned into a ghost town.

Long Yan hovered in the sky, his gaze locked onto a mansion in the center of Great Flame City.

“Young Master Grim Reaper, I have arrived, come out!”

Upon arriving in Great Flame City, his Divine Sense had enveloped the entire city, and he had already located his target.

The one who had abducted Yu Wuxia was none other than Young Master Grim Reaper.

“Long Yan, we meet again!”

A voice came from within the city, followed by three figures who leapt from the city center, reaching the same height as Long Yan.

The lead figure in black clothes was none other than Young Master Grim Reaper, and the elderly man was familiar to Long Yan as well.

The King of Assassins, Mo Qixie.

The last one was naturally Yu Wuxia, who appeared pale, controlled by Mo Qixie.

“Wuxia!”

Long Yan’s gaze fell on Yu Wuxia, his battle armor stirring with rising momentum.

“Brother, I am useless, don’t worry about me!”

Yu Wuxia looked at Long Yan, her face full of guilt.

“With me here, nothing will happen, rest assured.”

Having said that, Long Yan’s gaze fell on Young Master Grim Reaper, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.

“Young Master Grim Reaper, you are playing with fire!”

He had no particular grievances with Young Master Grim Reaper, but the latter’s attack on his sister had definitely touched his inverse scale.

“Long Yan, I initially had no intention to be your enemy, nor do I want to be, but I have no choice—I cannot let my martial path end here,”

Young Master Grim Reaper did not get angry and spoke in a very calm tone, “Apart from sealing your sister’s strength, I did not let her suffer the slightest.”

“Tell me, what is your purpose?”

Long Yan asked.

“It’s simple, you hand over the Innate Five Elements True Fire to me, and I will release your sister.

This sounds like a trade, doesn’t it?

From then on, I will never be your enemy again,”

Young Master Grim Reaper said.

The Innate Five Elements True Fire, that was his purpose.

A Five Element Body, being a special physique, is also the only type that can be formed through cultivation.

In the entire imperial area, there were not few martial artists pursuing the Five Element Body, but besides him, only Long Yan had truly achieved the unification of the Five Elements.

Even if one achieved the unification of the Five Elements, to become a true Five Element Body, one still needed to merge with the Origin of the Five Elements.

Long Yan had obtained the Innate Five Elements True Fire, possessing a uniquely advantageous position.

Young Master Grim Reaper had searched the entire imperial area but could not find the Origin of the Five Elements, so he was now targeting Long Yan.

“You don’t want to be my enemy?”

Long Yan scoffed coldly, saying, “In fact, you are already being my enemy.

My (kin and friends,) they are all my inverse scales, and you have truly enraged me now.”

A dragon has its inverse scales; touch them and it will get angry!

In Long Yan’s eyes, Young Master Grim Reaper was already a dead man.

“To be honest, being your enemy isn’t a pleasant thing, but I have no choice.”

After a moment, Young Master Grim Reaper continued, “I have paid too high a cost to cultivate into a Five Element Body.

Now, my Five Element Body has encountered an insurmountable bottleneck.

If I cannot merge with the Origin of the Five Elements, my martial path will end here.

What is the difference between that and death?”

“Long Yan, you are Heaven’s Proud Son.

You have obtained six different Strange Fires; even without the Innate Five Elements True Fire, you are still a genius.

If you complete me, I will remember this kindness, and in the future, I will surely repay you handsomely!”

For the Origin of the Five Elements, he could pay any price, even if it meant being Long Yan’s enemy.

“You think it’s possible?”

Long Yan spoke in a cold tone, “I will not only not hand over the Innate Five Elements True Fire to you, but I will also kill you!”

Murderous intent arose; Young Master Grim Reaper really should not have provoked him.

“It seems, not being your enemy is impossible!”

Young Master Grim Reaper sighed slightly, his expression also instantly becoming cold.

“Long Yan, since things have reached this point, I have no way out.

The Innate Five Elements True Fire, I am determined to obtain it.

You have two choices.

First, hand over the Innate Five Elements True Fire, I will release your sister, then whether you can kill me or not depends on your ability.”

“Second, both of us perish in the conflict, and perhaps I will die by your hand, but your sister will also bury with me!”

When Young Master Grim Reaper decided to use Yu Wuxia to threaten Long Yan, he had already prepared for the worst.

Although he was extremely reluctant to be Long Yan’s enemy, to advance further on his martial path, he had no choice.

“Threatening me?”

Long Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, the murderous intent in his eyes becoming denser, and his aura also fluctuated, like a raging lion.

“Yes, it’s a threat,”

Young Master Grim Reaper took a step forward, his momentum also rising, confronting Long Yan head-on.

If Long Yan compromised and handed over the Innate Five Elements True Fire, his purpose for this journey would be achieved; if Long Yan chose perishing together, it would be the worst outcome.

This time, he was gambling with his own life.

Success or failure, it was all in this one move!
