Chapter 315: Chapter 306: Slaying the Transcendent

"Master Gao Qiu, here, I am right here."

Wei Xiu waved his hands frantically, overflowing with excitement.

That tall and slender figure, taking small steps, walked towards Wei Xiu nonchalantly.

Long Chen glanced over, the newcomer dressed in a black robe, his long hair casually tied up, resembling a character straight out of history itself—a sight that might indeed deceive a regular person from the Martial Arts community.

"The Wei Family Head, it seems your family has taken quite a tumble here."

Gao Qiu stood with his hands behind his back, smirking as he came to a stop in front of Wei Xiu.

"Master Gao, I truly feel ashamed, but this man before you, he seems to be a Transcendent like yourselves—I simply, cannot defeat him. This time, my son was killed, and all the people I brought have been ambushed. Master Gao, you’re the only one who can help me now."

Wei Xiu’s expression was solemn.

"Wei Family Head, I had thought you to be quite the fierce dog, which is why our Heavenly God Temple kept you. But now, it seems you’re not quite vicious enough, which disappoints me."

Gao Qiu spoke indifferently.

Upon hearing these words, Wei Xiu turned pale.

Could it be that Gao Qiu would not help him?

Just as Wei Xiu began to despair, Gao Qiu spoke again, "Regardless, you are still a dog of our Heavenly God Temple, and we naturally won’t allow outsiders to bully you."

Hearing this, Wei Xiu immediately broke into a smile and thanked him profusely.

Such groveling, it was nauseating.

"Wei Xiu, Wei Xiu, living like this, you might as well be dead, you’ve shamed your ancestors."

Yang Shenhuai taunted.

With a cold smile, Wei Xiu responded, "Being alive is what’s most important. Old Ghost Yang, just you wait. Your Yang Family will soon be destroyed. With Master Gao Qiu here, none of you will survive."

"Is that so? I believe the first to die will be you."

Long Chen smiled faintly.

As Wei Xiu was about to speak, his expression suddenly froze.

Suddenly, Wei Xiu’s heart burst open, and he died on the spot.

"Hmm?"

Gao Qiu raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised by Long Chen’s method.

But that was all—just surprise.

"It seems you are indeed a Cultivator and not someone of the Martial Arts realm."

Gao Qiu said blandly.

Long Chen gave Gao Qiu a glance and calmly said, "I don’t care if you’re Transcendents of the Heavenly God Temple or something else, but in Qianzhou, in Great Xia, this isn’t the place for you to run wild."

"You think you are fit to say such words?"

Gao Qiu scoffed with disdain.

Then, turning to look at Yang Su, he appraised her for a few seconds before saying, "No wonder that idiot from the Wei Family was so obsessed with you. You do have some beauty. If you are willing to come with me, I will pretend I know nothing tonight, and your Yang Family will be unharmed. Consider it?"

"Get lost, you’re not worthy."

Yang Su responded without hesitation.

"Oh, then you may die first. No ant dares to spew nonsense before me and still live to tell the tale. You won’t be an exception."

Gao Qiu raised his hand and pointed in the air.

Swoosh.

A beam of golden light, containing terrifying energy incomparable to Martial Arts True Qi, darted towards Yang Su.

Yang Su would surely die if hit by it.

But with Long Chen there, how could such a thing happen?

With a slight flick of his finger, Long Chen easily dissipated the golden light.

"Young man, considering your youth and the hardship of your training, up until now, I’ve yet to attempt to kill you. Be smart and recognize your situation, leave now, and I can overlook the fact you’ve killed a dog raised by our Heavenly God Temple."

Gao Qiu said blandly.

"You’re right to say that Wei Xiu is a dog, but in my view, Wei Xiu is a wild dog that the Heavenly God Temple couldn’t tame. And you, you are a true house dog."

Long Chen said with a faint smile.

"You’re courting death."

Gao Qiu was enraged.

"Angry now? Then come and try to kill me."

Long Chen’s tone was nonchalant.

He was not afraid of Gao Qiu at all.

Gao Qiu didn’t intend to indulge Long Chen and he attacked him on the spot.

Boom.

Gao Qiu’s simple move unleashed an awe-inspiring energy, causing the Yang Family villa to shake as if it might collapse at any moment.

Such a ferocious impact was very hard to achieve with Martial Arts True Qi; it was beyond what average humans could comprehend.

But Long Chen remained unfazed and calmly countered.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of moves, and it seemed difficult to tell who was winning.

However, to the discerning eye, it was clear that Long Chen was composed and at ease from start to finish.

While Gao Qiu, the aggressor, became increasingly frantic.

As the relentless assault proved ineffective, Gao Qiu realized something was amiss.

If the man before him was merely an ordinary cultivator, he wouldn’t be so powerful.

And at this moment, he was still calmly exchanging moves with Gao Qiu, as if toying with him.

This indicated that the young man’s realm was not below his own.

Very possibly, he possessed the capability to kill him.

At this thought, Gao Qiu panicked.

"Young man, I admit, you truly are an exceptional master, and even within the Heavenly God Temple, you could become a high-ranking figure. Why not we make peace? I can recommend you for entry into the Heavenly God Temple, how about it?"

Gao Qiu spoke earnestly, wanting to call a truce.

But Long Chen had no intention of compromise.

"Your attack is over; now it’s my turn."

Long Chen coldly countered, and then he launched an attack.

Bang.

With a single punch, Long Chen sent Gao Qiu reeling backward.

Gao Qiu only felt Li Xiu’s fist to be as ferocious as thunder.

This ferocity came not only from the Spiritual Power of the young man before him but also from a terrifying physical strength.

Gao Qiu grew even more anxious. "I’m not joking with you, nor am I intentionally dragging this out, I’m sincere in wanting to bring you into the Heavenly God Temple. It’s a transcendental power ranked among the top ten in Great Xia, you definitely won’t regret joining."

Hearing this, Long Chen couldn’t help laughing. "Sorry, but I’m not interested in the Heavenly God Temple, and you... tonight, you must die."

"I am one of Heaven’s chosen within the Heavenly God Temple, not the likes of Wei Xiu. If you dare kill me, there will surely be repercussions. Moreover, you may not even succeed."

Gao Qiu said with a heavy tone.

"Is that so?" Long Chen sneered. "Killing you would be as easy as reaching into a bag and taking what I want."

"Since you’re impervious to reason, I assure you, you’ll regret this. Just you wait."

Gao Qiu quickly retreated, trying to escape.

But Long Chen would not give him the slightest chance to flee.

Long Chen raised his hand, a finger pointing out.

Boom.

The force of this one finger tore through the air at high speed, its terrifying presence permeating the area, locking onto Gao Qiu.

Gao Qiu sensed it and hurriedly turned to respond with all his power.

But a streak of white light instantly penetrated Gao Qiu’s heart; he couldn’t defend against it.

Because what Long Chen used was the Buddhist Sect’s Flower Pinching Finger.

"You really could kill me... this... this is impossible..."

Bang.

Gao Qiu fell face down to the ground, never to rise again.

A Transcendent had just been executed by Long Chen.

"Such a ’Transcendent’ couldn’t withstand a single blow."

Long Chen remarked.

He had many other Buddhist Sect secret techniques he had not yet resorted to, like the Lion Roar, Faceless Technique, Vajra Unbreakable Body, and Demon Suppressing Seal.

Sadly, Gao Qiu could not last long enough.

Or rather, Gao Tong’s strength couldn’t push Long Chen to reveal these techniques one by one.

"Long Chen, this might truly become troublesome now."

Yang Shenhuai said with a bitter tone.

Long Chen had demonstrated remarkable strength, and while Yang Shenhuai and the others were elated,

the sheer terror of the Heavenly God Temple prevented them from truly feeling joyful.

After all, there were not just one or two Transcendents within the Heavenly God Temple.

And here, there was only Long Chen.

Long Chen spoke quietly, "Don’t worry. Even if the Heavenly God Temple doesn’t come after you, I will seek them out myself. The Heavenly God Temple has long coveted the Dragon Shadow Group with ill intent, having made several assassination attempts against my close ones. If the Heavenly God Temple is not eradicated, none of them will have peace, and I won’t have tranquility."

"No matter life or death, I will stand by your side."

Susu said, her gaze determined.

"Susu, don’t keep bringing up death. With me here, even if the heavens were to collapse, I could hold them up. Nothing will happen to you," Long Chen reassured her gently.

Susu nodded vigorously, deeply touched.

The sense of security Long Chen offered her was something no one else in this world could match.

"Xiao Chen’s strength is certainly no less than any Transcendent—I believe in Xiao Chen."

Yang Su’s mother said seriously.

"Father, we’ve reached a point of no return. Regardless of life or death, we must follow Long Chen into battle, to strive without regret."

Yang Ji turned to speak to Yang Shenhuai.

"I too know that there’s no turning back now. Long Chen, rest assured, the Yang Family will fight alongside you to the end. If there’s anything you need us to do, just say it, and we will fight with all our might."

Yang Shenhuai declared somberly.
