Chapter 442: Chapter 427: Kick Someone When They’re Down

Seeing the look on Li Yuechan’s face and how naturally she called him "husband," Long Chen instantly confirmed that she must have recovered her memory.

"Yuechan, step back, I will deal with this old geezer."

Long Chen pulled Li Yuechan behind him.

Then, Long Chen made his move, attacking the black-robed elder.

The black-robed elder also struck, rushing toward Long Chen.

A battle was about to erupt.

Boom!

The first strike made the entire house tremble as if it was about to collapse.

"Tch, you ant, you’re quite strong, come again."

The black-robed elder cackled strangely, attacking like lightning.

"You old vermin, today is the day you die. I will grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes so that you’ll never have the chance to cling to life again."

Long Chen burst out without reservation.

Because he felt that this old thing was powerful, with profound mana and unpredictable methods.

Even when a lion fights a rabbit, it uses all its strength; all the more so when the opponent is an experienced master. Long Chen would not take him lightly.

"Yuechan, let’s retreat first, it’s dangerous here."

Chu Ling pulled Li Yuechan to retreat.

Li Yuechan forcefully shrugged off Chu Ling, growling, "Don’t pull me; I can walk on my own."

Boom!

As Li Yuechan’s words fell, the grand hall in front of them collapsed thunderously.

Bang bang bang...

A series of collision sounds, like muffled thunder, reverberated continuously.

Two figures crisscrossed, wildly casting magic, with various Magic Techniques flying all around.

Such an intense battle made Chu Ling and the others widen their eyes in disbelief.

Han Min took a deep breath, clenching her hands tightly.

She hadn’t expected that Long Chen, whom she once looked down upon, could have grown to this extent now.

"Chu Ling, what should we do if Long Chen wins?"

Han Min asked softly.

"For now, I still hope he wins. This old antique is cruel and ruthless. If Long Chen doesn’t win, I truly fear I might become a puppet."

Chu Ling spoke in a low voice.

"But if Long Chen wins, he definitely won’t let us off. He is Ancestor Xia’s man."

Han Min said meaningfully.

"Let’s just wait and see. I hope they both sustain heavy injuries."

Chu Ling gritted his teeth.

He spoke very softly, not daring to let Li Yuechan hear.

Up ahead, the battle between Long Chen and the black-robed elder became more and more terrifying; buildings of the Chu Royal Mansion were being destroyed, collapsing one after another.

"Little beast, I underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to have already reached the Rune Dao Realm."

The black-robed elder shouted, his pupils turning a bloody red.

"I underestimated you too. You really are a crafty old mad dog."

Long Chen said coldly.

"What’s the use of sharp tongues? Even if you are at the Rune Dao Realm, today I shall certainly suppress you, then swallow you whole."

"Who lives and who dies, we’ll only know after the fight."

Long Chen’s figure flashed like lightning, taking the initiative to attack.

In just three minutes, the two exchanged hundreds of moves, both sustaining injuries, with blood spilling.

Li Yuechan saw Long Chen bleeding, and it pained her immensely.

But she couldn’t help, at this level of combat, if she stepped in, it would mean death. No matter what she did, she wouldn’t cause any harm to that old beast.

As time passed, seven minutes went by. Long Chen was drenched in blood, with some wounds so deep that bones were visible.

The black-robed elder was not having an easy time either, as his body had no part unharmed.

"Little beast, you’ve surprised me. We’ll fight another day."

The black-robed elder thought to escape.

Although he wouldn’t lose in a short time, he understood very well that if he continued to fight to the death with Long Chen, he wouldn’t outlast him; continuing would lead to certain death.

"Thinking of escaping? No way."

Long Chen pursued, entangling with the black-robed elder once again.

"Little beast, Chu Ling wants to kill you. If you take the risk to kill me, you’ll surely be critically injured afterward. By then, if Chu Ling kicks you while you’re down, it will be difficult for you to survive. I advise you to be wise, don’t be foolish."

The cloaked old man bellowed.

"That’s a matter for later. Right now, I only want to annihilate you. Within the borders of Great Xia, we do not tolerate such old demons like you."

Long Chen stood his ground, holding back the cloaked old man.

The cloaked old man was enraged, continuously attempting to escape.

But no matter what he tried, he could not succeed.

"If you wish to die, then let’s perish together."

The cloaked old man suddenly found the right moment, clung onto Long Chen tightly, and began to circulate his mana, actually preparing to self-destruct.

Long Chen, feeling the increasingly terrifying aura, furrowed his brows.

"To be able to drag a young prodigy like you to death with me is no loss for this old man, haha."

He laughed maniacally.

In fact, the cloaked old man was engaging in a psychological battle with Long Chen.

He assumed that under normal circumstances, Long Chen would surely yield and not truly choose to perish with him, trying to avoid his self-destruction.

And he could take the chance to escape when Long Chen avoided him.

But the cloaked old man, who thought he had the situation under control, soon realized something was amiss.

Long Chen was not avoiding him!

"Planning tricks like an old dog, you’re still too green for me."

Long Chen sneered, raised his elbow, and viciously slammed it into the cloaked old man’s stomach.

"Pfft."

The cloaked old man spat out blood. This blow distracted him, completely preventing him from reversing the self-destruction process.

Boom.

The cloaked old man’s mana converged at one point and exploded, turning into an extremely violent energy that engulfed the heavens and the earth.

The entire Chu Royal Mansion was leveled to the ground in an instant.

Li Yuechan and others were also sent flying, coughing up blood.

When the dust settled, only pieces of clothing fluttered to the ground; Long Chen and the cloaked old man had vanished from the scene.

Li Yuechan was frantic, desperately searching through the rubble for Long Chen, crying as she searched.

"Could Long Chen also be dead?"

Han Min grew agitated.

"Don’t rush to conclusions. Let’s look for him. If alive, we need to see him; if dead, we need to find his body."

Chu Ling said solemnly.

"Okay."

Han Min and Chu Ling joined Li Yuechan in the search.

"I... I’m here."

Long Chen’s voice suddenly rang out.

Li Yuechan quickly turned and, following the sound, saw Long Chen reaching a hand out from under the ground.

"Husband, I’ll pull you out."

Li Yuechan hurried forward.

At this moment, Long Chen was in terrible shape. With Li Yuechan’s help, he barely made it back to the surface and lay on the ground, gasping for air.

Seeing that Long Chen had somehow survived, Chu Ling’s eyes darkened.

"Yuechan, let me help him heal."

Chu Ling said.

"No need, stay away from him, get away from him right now."

Li Yuechan shouted urgently.

She was afraid, afraid that Chu Ling would kick Long Chen when he was down and hurt him.

"Child, I have come to my senses now. Long Chen killed that old beast, which is a huge favor to me. Why would I harm him? Rest assured; I will reflect on my actions. Give me a chance to apologize to him."

Chu Ling said with utmost seriousness.

Li Yuechan was half-convinced and kept a wary eye on Chu Ling.

"I am ultimately your father. How could I deceive you? His condition is not optimistic; we can’t delay any longer."

Chu Ling spoke earnestly.

"Then... then try it. But I warn you, if you dare to harm him, I will sever our father-daughter relationship and henceforth see you as an enemy."

Li Yuechan said sternly.

"Don’t worry, I won’t."

Chu Ling quickly closed the distance to Long Chen’s side.

The next second, a glint of cold light flashed in Chu Ling’s hand, a dagger appeared, and he plunged it ruthlessly into Long Chen’s heart.
