Defeating Strong Enemies with Strength

"I'm here."

Long Chen let out a cold shout, the flames enveloping him suddenly surged, and the space within a radius of several zhang was filled with terrifying heat.

"Whoosh"

With a wave of his palm, the high temperature on Long Chen's hand caused a large area of space to distort. The momentum was terrifying as he struck towards Huang Shang in the distance.

Huang Shang was greatly alarmed. He felt an indescribable dread towards the flames on Long Chen's body. Seeing Long Chen attack, he quickly moved his feet, dodging Long Chen's palm strike.

However, just as he dodged Long Chen's palm, he suddenly saw a cold smile appear on Long Chen's lips, and at the same time, he felt a great sense of crisis.

"Not good."

Huang Shang's face changed drastically. Long Chen's imposing palm strike was actually a feint. The real attack was a silent kick. By the time he realized it, Long Chen's kick had already landed fiercely on his lower abdomen.

"Ah!"

Huang Shang's scream echoed throughout the entire square. Long Chen's kick didn't seriously injure him, but the flames ignited the fur covering his body.

"As expected, beasts are afraid of fire."

Long Chen felt a sense of relief. Although Huang Shang's beast transformation brought the combat power of a demonic beast, it also inherited the weaknesses of a demonic beast.

Furred demonic beasts are inherently afraid of fire, so Pill Fire had a great restraining effect on Huang Shang, causing him to feel instinctive fear.

The flames attached to Long Chen's kick ignited Huang Shang's body, and a strong smell of roasted bird feathers immediately filled the air.

Watching Huang Shang desperately pat out the flames on his body, when the flames were completely extinguished, the yellow fur that had covered Huang Shang was now scorched black, looking extremely pathetic, like a mouse that had crawled out of a stove.

Seeing this, Yun Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was very rare for Long Chen to find Huang Shang's weakness so quickly.

Most importantly, even if others knew, it would be useless. Only Long Chen, who could condense Pill Fire, could exploit his fatal weakness.

"Ah!"

Huang Shang's skin was scorched black, and his fur was instantly burned away. Although he wasn't seriously injured, he couldn't control his innate fear of fire and couldn't help but let out a roar.

The situation had developed to this point, and it was very clear that Long Chen's Pill Fire was severely restraining Huang Shang.

As Huang Shang wailed, Long Chen, like a human-shaped flame, moved his palms and charged towards Huang Shang.

"Boom boom boom!"

Long Chen moved extremely fast and unleashed three consecutive palm strikes. Huang Shang, seeing that he couldn't dodge, could only grit his teeth and resist with all his might.

However, he might not have feared Long Chen's strength, but after each of Long Chen's palm strikes, his claws felt like they were being retracted from a furnace.

After three palm strikes, Huang Shang felt as if his hands were no longer his own. He could even smell a faint aroma of roasted meat emanating from them.

Just now, Long Chen was forced to dodge everywhere, but now the situation had completely reversed. Under Long Chen's Pill Fire, Huang Shang could only scurry around with his head in his hands, completely unable to fight back.

Fatty Yu and the others were overjoyed upon seeing this. As long as Long Chen could hold on, victory would surely belong to him.

"Huang Shang, kill him!"

Xia Changfeng stood up and shouted coldly. Long Chen's power far exceeded his expectations.

It even made him feel fear. A Pill Master with unlimited potential, and also a martial arts genius with boundless combat power.

Such a person must either be brought under his command or be completely killed. Now that he and Long Chen were at odds, the former was completely impossible. Therefore, he had to kill Long Chen at all costs, otherwise, he would not be able to sleep or eat peacefully.

Huang Shang looked at Long Chen, who was surrounded by flames, his eyes filled with hatred. He never expected that a mere killing game would escalate to this extent.

"Long Chen, die for me!"

Now, under Xia Changfeng's command, Huang Shang let out a beast-like roar. Suddenly, his blood energy filled the sky, and his entire body seemed to be covered in blood, turning completely red, including his eyeballs.

"What?"

"He actually used the Blood Burning Great Art?"

"This is too crazy!"

In the spectator stands, the Marquises of the Phoenix Cry Empire let out gasps of surprise. They recognized Huang Shang's technique.

The Blood Burning Great Art is an extremely terrifying secret technique. Blood Condensation Realm experts would make such a drastic decision only when facing an invincible opponent and being in a situation where death is certain.

The Blood Burning Great Art uses the burning of one's entire vital energy as a price to exchange for a temporary increase in combat power, doubling the user's strength.

However, the price is also extremely tragic. Once the Blood Burning Great Art is used, the essence of the condensed blood will be burned away. Even if they survive, their cultivation will essentially be capped, and they will never be able to advance further in their lives.

This situation is very rare. No one would do this unless absolutely necessary, but Huang Shang had done it.

Master Yun Qi glanced at the dazed Phoenix Cry Empire royalty and nobles in the spectator stands and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Phoenix Cry was beyond saving. Such a genius had appeared, yet no one would stand up for Long Chen.

No matter what, Long Chen was, after all, a person of the Phoenix Cry Empire, and the son of the meritorious Marquis Zhenyuan. Even if Long Chen had made no contribution to Phoenix Cry.

However, Marquis Zhenyuan had guarded the border for over ten years, fighting bravely and resisting the ferocious barbarians, allowing the Phoenix Cry Empire to enjoy peace.

If his son were to die in the imperial capital like this, would the Royal Family not fear chilling the hearts of people all over the world? However, Yun Qi looked at the Fourth Prince and then at the Empress Dowager, and couldn't help but sigh. He leaned forward slightly, ready to rescue Long Chen at any moment.

Long Chen's performance today had far exceeded Master Yun Qi's expectations. He absolutely could not let anything happen to Long Chen.

After unleashing the Blood Burning Great Art, Huang Shang had become a bloodthirsty beast, his eyes filled with redness.

Huang Shang let out a roar, and suddenly his blood energy surged, and then, like a hundred rivers converging into the sea, all his blood energy condensed onto his right hand.

His entire right hand instantly became as thick as a thigh, its muscles intertwined, exuding a terrifying pressure as he grabbed towards Long Chen.

"Demon Wolf Claw"

The moment Huang Shang made his move, Master Yun Qi's figure flickered, and he had already floated out, heading straight for the center of the arena.

"Yun Qi, don't get in the way."

As soon as Master Yun Qi moved, Wei Cang, who was prepared, let out a cold laugh and rushed out, blocking Master Yun Qi's path, and struck down with a palm.

Yun Qi snorted and struck out with a palm, intending to repel Wei Cang.

"Slap!"

Their palms met, and Wei Cang's body swayed, but he managed to block Yun Qi's palm.

As their palms collided, Master Yun Qi's expression changed. He suddenly felt a chill in his hand, and his palm instantly turned black.

"Yun Qi, don't you think my Yin Sha Palm tastes good? With me here, don't even think about getting past. That kid is dead for sure, haha," Wei Cang said with a cold laugh.

Yun Qi was shocked. He and Wei Cang had a decades-long feud, and he never expected Wei Cang to have improved so much in recent years. He was unable to break through his blockade in such a short time.

"Old pervert, you're the one who's dead."

A mocking voice came, spoken by Long Chen.

Seeing Huang Shang's palm strike coming, Long Chen took a deep breath, circulated his cultivation to the extreme, and unleashed his Pill Fire without any reservation, erupting like a volcano.

"Fire Cloud Palm!"

All the flames on Long Chen's body disappeared, and the flame power condensed entirely in his palm. The originally light yellow flames, due to the high concentration, had a hint of light red.

"Boom!"

To everyone's stunned gaze, Long Chen's palm struck Huang Shang's sharp claws, exploding with a deafening roar, flames flying, and rolling waves of energy rising.

Even Yun Qi and Wei Cang stopped their actions, looking at the center of the arena in shock. When the smoke and dust cleared and their vision returned, the first thing people saw was a large pit about ten feet in diameter.

Several feet away from the pit, two figures lay on the ground. The entire scene was silent.

"Crack!"

With a light sound, a figure slowly moved. Long Chen, covered in blood, slowly stood up.

Although his hair was messy, his clothes were torn, and he was panting, Long Chen still appeared formidable at this moment.

Walking around the pit, Long Chen slowly approached Huang Shang. Huang Shang was even more disheveled now, his body scorched black, like a dried corpse, with many bones exposed.

After activating the Blood Burst technique, his defensive power had plummeted, so in the final head-on clash, his injuries were even more severe than Long Chen's.

"I said I would make sure you wouldn't see tomorrow's sun," Long Chen said coldly, standing in front of Huang Shang.

Huang Shang wanted to say something, but his collapsed chest pressed tightly against his abdominal cavity, preventing him from speaking a single word.

"It must feel bad to be unable to speak, doesn't it? Retribution comes fast. You made others speechless, and now you can't speak yourself," a mocking smile appeared on Long Chen's lips.

Long Chen had seen everything: Huang Shang's despicable methods earlier, how he had deliberately severely injured Shi Feng to enrage Long Chen, and how he had sealed Shi Feng's breath to prevent him from surrendering.

Looking at Long Chen's cold eyes, a look of fear appeared in Huang Shang's eyes. He wanted to say something but couldn't utter a sound.

Huang Shang was scared. If it were him a few years ago, he wouldn't have feared death. But in the past few years, following Xia Changfeng and indulging in pleasure, he had become deeply attached to the world and didn't want to die.

"Spare me the pleas for mercy. People like you are not worthy of pity," Long Chen shook his head and slowly raised a foot.

Everyone in the arena watched quietly, unable to utter a word. This dramatic and thrilling battle had deeply shocked them.

"Long Chen, let Huang Shang go. I'm willing to give you a large sum of compensation," Xia Changfeng said, unwilling to accept this. Seeing his most capable subordinate die like this, he shamelessly spoke up.

"Oh? Do you have anything that can impress me?" A hint of interest appeared on Long Chen's face.

Seeing an opening, Xia Changfeng was overjoyed. "Just name your price. Whatever I have, I won't hesitate to give."

Long Chen nodded and gave a thumbs-up. "I didn't expect you to be so righteous. Then I'll give you a chance. Give me your life, and I'll let him go."

Xia Changfeng's face, which had been full of joy, seemed to have been slapped hard. He stared at Long Chen. "Are you playing with me?"

"Playing with you isn't the goal. The goal is to play you to death," a sinister smile appeared on Long Chen's face as he spoke word by word.

After speaking, Long Chen raised his foot and, to the gasps of the entire crowd, stomped down fiercely on Huang Shang, who was on the ground.

Just as Long Chen's foot was about to touch Huang Shang's chest, Long Chen suddenly felt a prickling sensation on his scalp, and at the same time, Yun Qi's angry roar echoed in his ears. Without thinking, he quickly rolled to the side.

"Chh!"

An arrow whizzed past, grazing Long Chen's waist.
