Chapter 85 Black Tier Demonic Beast Carcass

“Are you kidding me?!” Huang Feiyang darkened, and he chuckled ominously. “This mission is merely your test, and you want a reward for it? Long Chen, you don’t have the right at all. Also, do you think a brat at your level can enjoy a beast soul and demonic core from a Black-tier demonic beast?”

“So, you’re not giving me anything? Hehe. You two can head to the mountain, then. I won’t follow if I’m not getting a reward.”

Yan Beitian was stunned. To him, Long Chen was just a subordinate following these two masters—how insubordinate of him to be so rude to Huang Feiyang! “Well ...”

Yan Beitian watched Huang Feiyang, who had stood up from his chair. His glare was icy, and a powerful gust of Qi rushed at Long Chen. Huang Feiyang wanted to attack him on the spot, but Wen Ya stopped him.

He gave Huang Feiyang a look, then he looked at Long Chen coldly. “Long Chen, we’re your examiners for your mission, so you must listen to our orders. If you do not enter Yandong Mountain, you won’t be able to explain yourself in front of Administrator Liu when we give you the lowest score!”

If Long Chen refused to enter Yandong Mountain, how would he execute his plan to kill him? Huang Feiyang would not allow it. However, Long Chen was definitely not getting the beast carcass either. But he couldn’t kill Long Chen on the spot if he stubbornly insisted on staying. Huang Feiyang’s brows were furrowed.

“Are you trying to scare me?” Long Chen refused to back down. He gave them a cold, unwavering look and said, “If you two do not agree to my request, I’m not doing this anymore!”

Even Wen Ya was furious at Long Chen’s unreasonable behavior, much less Huang Feiyang, whose eyes were already blood-red!

He looked at Long Chen’s arrogant expression, then he thought of his severely injured younger brother. When he recalled how Huang Xiang still hadn’t recovered from his injuries, his killing intent slowly rose! I must hold it in! I cannot kill him in public now! Wait till we get to Yandong Mountain, where no one will be watching. He will die there! Long Chen, Long Chen, you will die a tragic death!

With that thought, Huang Feiyang swallowed his rage.

Yan Beitian watched their argument, stunned, but after he saw that Huang Feiyang didn’t kill Long Chen immediately, his opinion of Long Chen skyrocketed. This little brat made Master Huang so mad, yet Master Huang dared not kill him. Looks like he has some power too. If I want to save my daughter, it looks like I need to neutralize both sides ...

When he thought of this, Yan Beitian said hurriedly, “Little Master, the lives of the Yanluo townswomen are in your hands! Please have some compassion. You can have anything you want apart from the Black-tier beast corpse.”

“I only want the corpse.”

Long Chen grinned mischievously, looking at the green-faced Huang Feiyang without a hint of fear. In your dreams!

Huang Feiyang chuckled coldly, then he looked at Yan Beitian. “Mayor Yan, you don’t have to say a thing. This brat has only just joined the Lingwu family and doesn’t know his limits yet. I’ll make him suffer a little so he’ll learn his lesson. But if the family starts investigating this matter, I hope you can help me put in a good word.”

Yan Beitian looked torn. “Master, I don’t think that’ll be good ... You’re all part of the Lingwu family; it’s not good to ruin the peace ...”

Long Chen interjected, “Huang Feiyang, I won’t beat around the bush anymore. I just need the beast’s carcass and not the Beast Soul or demonic core. Give me the carcass and I will settle this mission for you. How about that?”

The most valuable parts of the carcass were the demonic core and beast soul; everything else was basically trash. Huang Feiyang didn’t expect Long Chen to ask for that and frowned in puzzlement. What does the brat want to do with the carcass? What secret is he hiding?

Wen Ya was equally confused, while Yan Beitian also couldn’t figure out Long Chen’s intentions, because he knew that the carcass wasn’t worth anything.

“Unless you’re afraid that my strength will skyrocket after getting the beast carcass? So much so that I will surpass you?”

When he saw them hesitate, Long Chen burst into a snicker.

As expected, Huang Feiyang was triggered. He eyed Long Chen suspiciously for a while, then he said coldly, “You’re merely at the Eighth Draconic Stage. I’ll consider myself unlucky if you could reach the mid-Human Core Realm just using one corpse! But is that even possible?”

Wen Ya and Yan Beitian laughed because this was impossible. “Mayor Yan, you can give me the corpse. We’ll take the demonic core and beast soul out first. If we don’t complete the mission, we’ll return them to you.”

Yan Beitian hesitated a little but still agreed. The Lingwu family was trustworthy.

Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya then started to extract the beast soul. Long Chen waited for a while in the hallway, then he heard them approaching.

“It’s so easy to trick this bunch! All you did was challenge and trigger them a little and they gave you the corpse! They’re so stupid, hehe!”

“It’s only because I’m a genius, don’t you think? I’m now at the peak of the Eighth Draconic Stage. Once I get the blood essence of the carcass, I definitely will achieve a breakthrough!”

Huang Feiyang and the rest appeared once more. Under Huang Feiyang’s cold glare, Long Chen stored the carcass in his Universe Pouch. “It’s a Blue Eyed Snow Lion. A Category One Black-tier demonic beast. Based on the injuries on its body, it was bitten to death by another beast ...”

After doing so, Long Chen turned to Yan Beitian. “I need half an hour to do something!”

The clock was ticking, yet Long Chen still wanted to delay the mission! Yan Beitian panicked like ants on a hot wok, but all he could do was give Huang Feiyang a begging look!

Huang Feiyang’s killing intent towards Long Chen reached its peak, but he swallowed his rage when he remembered that he could kill him once they arrived at Yandong Mountain.

Killing Long Chen was his number one mission now. Enjoy yourself now. Although it’s true I wouldn’t dare kill you in broad daylight, just know that you won’t live past tonight!

Huang Feiyang waved him off, annoyed.

Once he had gotten permission, Long Chen gave a small smile, then he asked Yan Beitian, whose face had turned green from panic, for a spot where he could be alone.

Long Chen knew that he had limited time and asked hurriedly, “Xiao Xi, are you sure the Ascension Fruit can be digested in a very short time? And that it will push me straight to the Human Core Realm?”

“Of course! I know a lot of things a village boy like you will never understand!”

Without wasting any more time, he immediately took the Blue Eyed Snow Lion out of his Universe Pouch. He quietly began his Dragon Soul Transformation with his eyes fixed on the beast with long, snow-white fur.

As he controlled his Qi, neat rows of red scales emerged from his skin and red, blade-like spines protruded from his joints!

Long Chen was completely transformed in just the blink of an eye. He looked evil and vicious but regal at the same time, which would make anyone feel a complex mix of emotions. “Next, Blood Transmutation ...”

He hadn’t used Blood Transmutation ever since he absorbed Xue Yuanzi’s blood.

Although it was an unnatural act, to be honest, Long Chen was only this successful today mostly because of Blood Transmutation. It was a powerful ability to possess.

At least in Baiyang Town, he had never heard of such a technique.

Long Chen had two powerful abilities, namely Blood Transmutation and Dragon Soul Transformation, which came from the Inherited Blood Essence. And he had only absorbed a sliver of it. Perhaps the blood essence really is from the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon, but Ling Xi just doesn’t want to believe it ...

In this obscure corner where no one could see him, drops of blood sprouted out of the surface of the Blue Eyed Snow Lion’s skin, as if they were sentient!

The droplets danced and flew excitedly into Long Chen’s body until they were absorbed and finally turned into Qi.

The blood essence of a Black-tier beast might be lacking in terms of volume when compared to the Underground Blood Lizard King, but it was of much higher quality. The power contained within it was many times higher than the Underground Blood Lizard King.

When Long Chen consumed Xue Yuanzi’s blood, he hadn’t experienced an increase in Qi this large!

Blood-red Qi exploded in his body, surging manically as more new Qi was added. It flowed through the already-broken eighth dragon vein while the ninth vein, namely the Heavenly Dragon Vein, was still as stable as a mountain.

Long Chen knew that the Heavenly Dragon Vein was difficult to break through. That was the reason why Yang Qingxuan and the others were still stuck at the Eighth Draconic Stage ...

Qi surged through him, and a blood-red tsunami rose in his body. When it rose to its peak, he finally knew that it was time for him to work towards breaking through to the Ninth Draconic Stage.
