The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law
Chapter 242 - 237

Chapter 242: Chapter 237

It must be said that Cao Qiu was very clever.

He knew very well that only with the protection of the Xuanyuan Madman could he possibly escape with his life.

Regarding Long Chen’s strength, although last time the fight took place underwater, no matter what, it ultimately involved him and Hua Qingfeng two against one, yet they couldn’t overcome him.

Now that Long Chen had returned to his peak condition, it seemed unwise to fight him again; the chances of victory were very low.

The Xuanyuan Madman was also a wily old fox and clearly understood what Cao Qiu intended to do.

He still wanted to use Hua Qingfeng and Cao Qiu, so, seizing the opportunity, the Xuanyuan Madman turned to Long Chen and said, "Young man, it’s better to resolve differences than to escalate them. There’s no need for excessive ruthlessness. Wouldn’t it be better to sit down, share a drink, and talk, transforming enmity into friendship?"

"To transform enmity into friendship isn’t out of the question. How about this, since you are a senior in the Martial Arts World, and since you’re the one suggesting it, why don’t I poison you, severely injure you, and cause your family to crumble before we transform enmity into friendship? Would you agree to that?"

Long Chen looked at the Xuanyuan Madman with a smile.

The Xuanyuan Madman was at a loss for words and inexplicably angry.

It was because ever since he started his journey, no young successor had ever dared to speak to him like this.

Long Chen was the first one!

"How can you speak to my grandfather like that?"

Xuanyuan Yu’er glared at Long Chen.

"I’m talking with your grandfather; you’d best not interrupt."

Long Chen said indifferently.

Xuanyuan Yu’er was somewhat angered by his words, "You shamelessly followed me here, and now you won’t even let me speak; don’t you think you’re being excessive?"

"First of all, it was you who approached me. Whether your intentions were pure or not, the Xuanyuan Family is well aware.

I simply used you to find Hua Qingfeng and Cao Qiu, which is merely tit for tat, both sides are even.

Of course, up until this very second, I don’t want to be enemies with your family; my targets are only Hua Qingfeng and Cao Qiu.

However, if you insist on being my enemies, then that’s a different matter," Long Chen said with composure.

"Young man, do you mean to say that today you are determined to kill Hua Qingfeng and Cao Qiu?" the Xuanyuan Madman stared at Long Chen.

"Yes," Long Chen said, "Hua Qingfeng and Cao Qiu must die."

"Then you’ll have to get past me first."

The Xuanyuan Madman’s eyes were sharp.

"How do you want me to get past you? Draw me a clear path," Long Chen said calmly.

"Step over my dead body," the Xuanyuan Madman said coldly.

When these words fell, the Xuanyuan Madman’s aura underwent a complete transformation, becoming sharp and pronounced, like a venerable god, with his robe billowing without wind, immensely formidable.

Long Chen stared at the Xuanyuan Madman, sensing that his strength was greater than that of Hua Qingfeng and Cao Qiu.

But Long Chen was unafraid.

"Since you’ve made such a request, I’ll grant it."

Long Chen raised his hand, ready for battle.

"Xuanyuan Senior, since it has come to this, then I, along with Cao Qiu, will join you in subduing this boy."

"Indeed, that’s what should be done."

Hua Qingfeng and Cao Qiu’s eyes sparkled with some excitement.

With the addition of the Xuanyuan Madman, they had the confidence that they could surely get rid of Long Chen.

At this moment, the two no longer wanted to use Long Chen to control the Dragon Shadow Group but to kill Long Chen.

The threat Long Chen posed to them was too great, oppressing them to the point where they only wished for him to disappear from the world.

However, the Xuanyuan Madman waved them off, saying, "There is no need for the two of you to act; I would like to exchange a few moves with this young successor. I don’t know if I can protect you, but this old man will do his best."

"Old sir, thank you."

Hua Qingfeng bowed deeply.

Cao Qiu followed suit, bowing deeply as well.

Long Chen looked at the Xuanyuan Madman and said coldly, "There’s no need for more words. Since you wish to protect them, then I want to see if you have the strength to do so. Let’s begin."

"I’ll oblige you," the Xuanyuan Madman suddenly made his move.

Boom.

The Xuanyuan Madman threw a punch towards Long Chen, his powerful True Qi causing the very void to twist slightly.

Such might was indeed very formidable.
