Chapter 21 – Five True Fists

Based on the noise, Yang Lingqing must’ve used the Meteor Fist already. Conflicts between the Bai and Yang family’s youth didn’t usually happen so if Yang Lingqing used the Meteor Fist, it meant she was furious.

Long Chen saw that a huge crowd had gathered. There were many masters among them but no one dared to stop the fight. Despite their capabilities, it was a conflict between the Bai and Yang families. Why would they dare stop it? They were afraid to cause problems for themselves!

Long Chen didn’t care about offending anyone, and he squeezed his way through the crowd. Indeed, Yang Lingqing and a girl with fox-like features were fighting vigorously but Yang Lingqing was at a disadvantage and looked like she was about to lose.

Two middle-aged men chatted next to Long Chen. They were owners of shops nearby. “Yang Lingqing of the Yang family is indeed talented but Bai Zhixing of the Bai family is a little older and she has attained the Sixth Draconic Stage. Bai Zhixing still has the upper hand.”

“With a gap of one Draconic Stage between them, it’s already impressive that Yang Lingqing can endure this long.”

“The Bai and Yang families are usually cordial with each other, why are the two girls fighting?”

“I don’t know either. They were already fighting when I arrived.”

“I’m guessing it’s because of the right to rule. Things are going to change in Baiyang Town ...”

Long Chen rushed to the center without a word. When he was about to act, he heard Ling Xi exclaim excitedly, “Hey, do you see that young man? There’s a Dream Lingzhi Mushroom in the money pouch at his waist. It’s an intermediate Yellow-tier medicine, it can nourish the soul!”

As Long Chen ran, his gaze fell on the young man who was standing behind Bai Zhixing. “Isn’t that the other Sixth Draconic Stage person from the Bai family, Bai Shidong?”

He was carrying the object of Long Chen’s dreams! What a coincidence.

Long Chen had to involve himself no matter what for the Dream Lingzhi Mushroom.

Long Chen’s reactions made everyone look at him in shock. “That’s ... that’s the guy everyone’s talking about these days, the son of the third Yang lady? I heard he’s already attained the Fifth Draconic Stage. But he’s still lacking compared to these two Bai kids.”

“I think he once defeated Yang Lingyue, who is at the Sixth Draconic Stage.”

“That doesn’t mean anything, I heard he used his cunningness to defeat Yang Lingyue. He isn’t really that powerful.”

The eyes of the middle-aged men were glued to Long Chen, and they waited expectantly to see what he would do. The others were much stronger and already at the Sixth Draconic Stage, yet he still dared to rush forward despite being only at the Fifth Draconic Stage.

Long Chen’s Constellation Body and Fifth Draconic Stage Qi were completely unleashed at this point. His Qi was only a little less than those of the other two, and his Constellation Body made up for the lack of it! Faint starlight glowed on the surface of his skin. When she sensed the familiar aura of constellations, Yang Lingqing knew that Long Chen had arrived.

She was both furious and frustrated because her opponents definitely had the ability to defeat her completely. That meant they were only seeking to humiliate her.

Yang Lingqing felt a sudden strong force as Long Chen pulled her back abruptly so that he was the one facing Bai Zhixing. The mischievously seductive Bai Zhixing was toying happily with Yang Lingqing but when a young man suddenly appeared in front of her, she was so startled that she fell a few steps back.

The two parties finally separated.

Yang Lingqing looked at Long Chen, pursing her lips. He saw that she was about to cry and asked, “What happened?”

Yang Lingqing looked at Bai Zhixing in disgust and clenched her teeth. “I don’t know why but she started insulting me the moment we met. In the end, I couldn’t hold myself back and forgot about Grandfather’s warnings ...”

If someone as even-tempered as Yang Lingqing couldn’t hold herself back, Bai Zhixing must’ve said something extraordinarily vicious. “She insulted you? How dare anyone insult my cousin ...”

Long Chen looked at Bai Zhixing, his eyes darkening.

“What’s Sister Lingqing talking about? We only exchanged a few words and you started to attack me. I was just about to ask you why! Why did you say I insulted you?”

Long Chen’s glare scared the girl a little but when she recalled Long Chen’s abilities, she grew bolder, even feigning innocence.

Long Chen hated girls who were too cowardly to own up to their actions, the kind with innocent faces but evil hearts. They committed evil deeds, then pretended to be pitiful and never admitted fault.

The matter should have come to a close because neither side sustained any injuries. However, Long Chen wanted the Dream Lingzhi Mushroom. Now that he had an excuse, he wouldn’t let them go.

He patted Yang Lingqing’s shoulder and said, “Lingqing, I’ve been your cousin for many years but I’ve never defended you before. Just watch.”

Yang Lingqing instantly knew what he meant. Everyone else understood too, and looked at him like they were looking at an idiot.

Yang Lingqing grabbed his arm hurriedly to stop him. “No, it’s fine. Grandfather forbade us from fighting with the Bai family. And, they’ve got two people at the Sixth Draconic Stage on their side. We ...”

Long Chen smiled, then pushed her hand off gently. Yang Lingqing was left in a daze when she saw the determination in his eyes. He was already in the center of the ring.

When the crowd observed Long Chen’s stubbornness, they started whispering among themselves, mocking him.

The two middle-aged men looked at him in surprise. “The kid’s brave but he’s just a little too impulsive.”

“That’s true. People who have guts but not brains will only have a pitiful end. Knowing how to hold yourself back and wait for a better opportunity is the way to go.”

When Bai Zhixing and Bai Shidong realized that Long Chen wasn’t planning to back down, they snickered coldly and started to mock him. However, Long Chen never even gave them the chance to speak because the moment he stepped out, his face grew dark and he leapt off the ground with a massive force. Long Chen shot towards both of them; it looked like he was planning to fight both at the same time!

The crowd erupted in exclamations. They didn’t understand why Long Chen was behaving this way. Even the two middle-aged men looked at each other in confusion. “This kid ... He’s an odd one! He doesn’t have enough Qi but he’s definitely got guts ...”

Bai Zhixing and Bai Shidong gave each other a look, and they saw the contempt in each other’s eyes. Bai Zhixing had always been competitive, so she took the first step and blocked Long Chen.

Long Chen was already in front of her. A powerful gust of wind condensed on his finger and a tornado formed instantly, spinning furiously around his finger. The whooshing sound of Qi made even Bai Zhixing furrow her brows!

She smirked, then Qi exploded from her body. With the support of her powerful Qi, her right hand curled into a fist and she punched before Long Chen reached her. A thick, condensed wave of power shot towards Long Chen containing multiple Fist Seals. “Five True Fists!”

In the blink of an eye, Long Chen had to face five Fist Seals. He smirked. He was prepared for this, and he thrust a finger out. A powerful tornado strong enough to uproot trees blasted towards Bai Zhixing! “Typhoon Nine Fingers!”

“First Finger, strike!”

“Second Finger, break!”

“Third Finger, revolve!”

“Fourth Finger, annihilate!”

Everyone was shocked that Long Chen’s powerful attack managed to blast Bai Zhixing back multiple times. He unleashed one finger attack after the other and the Five True Fists was diffused, completely gone.

Although Bai Zhixing was mobilizing her Qi with all her might, the shockwaves of Long Chen’s attacks still made her blood surge. She glared at Long Chen fiercely, her face ghostly pale, and trembled slightly.

Long Chen did not show a shred of mercy in his attacks. Everyone gasped when they witnessed his manic techniques, especially Yang Lingqing, for she only knew that Long Chen had cultivated the Meteor Fist. “When did he master the Typhoon Nine Fingers? When he uses it, it is much scarier than when Sister Lingyue does! How many fingers is his limit?”

Yang Lingqing’s beautiful eyes were fixed on Long Chen. He had saved her and became her anchor. When she saw how hard he fought, she finally understood what he had meant. Lingqing, I’ve been your cousin for many years but I’ve never defended you before. Just watch.

The words echoed in Lingqing’s mind.

It was therapeutic for Yang Lingqing to watch Long Chen unleashing his Typhoon Nine Fingers one after the other and see how pale Bai Zhixing had turned. Her eyes reddened. She already saw Long Chen as her real older brother. Yang Zhan never would’ve defended her like this.

However, while Long Chen did fight hard to defend her, he was also fighting because he needed the Dream Lingzhi Mushroom.

With a roar, Long Chen unleashed another finger attack like a storm!

“Eighth Finger, universal destruction!

Bai Zhixing quickly protected herself with her arms but the violent force struck her, shredding her sleeves. She cried out in pain, and blood sprayed from her mouth!

Bai Zhixing collapsed in front of Long Chen. Bai Shidong, who had finally come to his senses, couldn’t believe his eyes. Then, his disbelief turned to unbelievable rage.

He was standing less than a meter behind Bai Zhixing. He was about to explode with Qi to fight Long Chen to death, not realizing that he was Long Chen’s true target. After Bai Zhixing collapsed, Long Chen didn’t stop. As the tornado swirled on his finger, he appeared in front of Bai Shidong in a flash and thrust his finger at his head. If Bai Shidong received the hit, his head would explode!

“Ninth Finger, sealed fate!”

The crowd gasped at Long Chen’s attack. Those who were observant knew that Bai Shidong definitely wouldn’t be able to dodge such a sudden attack.

Bai Shidong himself knew that Long Chen’s attack was too unexpected. He kept unleashing more Qi and backed up but there wasn’t enough time!

Death’s shadow slowly crept in. The finger shot at him like a sharp sword. He felt all strength drain from his body and his knees gave out. There was a patch of coldness in his crotch; he had peed himself ...

No one laughed at the wet spot. Those facing death had the right to pee on themselves ...

However, killing Bai Shidong was certain to send shockwaves through Baiyang Town. The mouths of the spectators ran dry when they thought about the consequences. “This brat ... What the hell is he thinking?”
