Chapter 200 - Yin Poison Strike

Dongfang Xuanxiao was calm in the face of Beitang Ming’s anger.

He put his teacup on the table, then he looked at Beitang Ming mildly, though there was a hard determination in his eyes.

Long Chen was privately grateful to Dongfang Xuanxiao. “Senior Beitang, what I said before was over the line, but I am just acting for the good of my cousin. I hope you can forgive me. But I don’t want my cousin to relent just because she was pressured. Even if you guys get her in the end, I think Brother Beitang Mo over here won’t be willing to accept her too, right?”

Long Chen understood where to stop. He had acted arrogantly to grab their attention, and now he softened his tone, so it was more palatable to Beitang Ming.

Beitang Mo forcing Yang Lingqing to marry him was a very ungentlemanly act, and Long Chen had laid it all bare. Beitang Mo saw himself as a gentleman, and although he knew that Long Chen was trying to provoke him, he couldn’t stop himself from tuning red in anger and embarrassment.

“Isn’t it too late for you to realize that you’ve stepped over the line? Long Chen, you have made terrible accusations to humiliate me, and as the head of the Northern Black Tortoise, how will I live if this gets out?” Beitang Ming could tell that Dongfang Xuanxiao was giving Long Chen free rein to make accusations.

“You may do whatever you want, Senior Beitang, but I don’t think Lingqing’s engagement has spread to the other people. As long as you cancel the wedding right now, I will be willing to kowtow a few times to you!”

Long Chen pulled Yang Lingqing behind him, holding her shaking hand tightly. He could feel that her palm was sweating.

The past Long Chen would never have kowtowed to another person, but now he was willing to do anything in order to help Lingqing survive this.

Although Dongfang Xuanxiao could help him, Long Chen knew that it was not so simple.

Dongfang Xuanxiao and Beitang Ming were major figures in the Lingwu family, and they still worked under the four patriarchs. They couldn’t get into a conflict so easily. All Dongfang Xuanxiao could do was guarantee that Long Chen would be safe, but Long Chen still had to rely on his wits to help Lingqing.

“Don’t do it!” Yang Lingqing’s voice was hoarse. She knew how arrogant he was, and getting him to kowtow was harder than flying. But today, he was willing to do it for her without hesitation.

Yang Lingqing was glad she had an elder brother like him.

Dongfang Xuanxiao took another glance at Long Chen, then he nodded. The teenager’s attitude proved that he hadn’t wasted his time helping him regardless of the consequences.

“Kowtow?” Beitang Ming chuckled coldly. “You were disrespectful, and you think kowtowing can solve the problem? If you want your wish granted, Long Chen, you must withstand a strike from me. If you survive, I’ll let you go! And your cousin’s matter will be open to discussion!”

“One strike?” Long Chen’s brows were knitted. He knew that one strike from Beitang Ming was enough to kill him instantly. That meant he wanted Long Chen’s life in exchange for it.

“Beitang Ming.” When Dongfang Xuanxiao heard the request, he stood up and walked over to Long Chen, saying, “Don’t make such an unreasonable request. I’ll say it how it is: Long Chen is my stepson. As for today’s matter, I will help him to the end. You know me well, and I will stop this marriage even if I have to face pressure from the four patriarchs. Why not just take a step back for a compromise, and we’ll all live well?”

Beitang Ming knew that Dongfang Xuanxiao had always been a rebel, and he had achieved the impossible several times. He’d always been able to do anything he set out to do. Based on his personality, it was very much possible that he’d mess up the Northern Black Tortoise family over Yang Lingqing’s matter!

A huge wave of anger surged through Beitang Mo. He glared coldly at Long Chen, killing intent radiating from him. He thought this marriage was finally going to happen, yet an obstacle had appeared unexpectedly. This brat had trampled all over his name!

But Beitang Mo was already past twenty, so he understood that he had to suppress his anger. He had heard of Dongfang Xuanxiao, and he was indeed powerful. He pulled at Beitang Ming’s arm and said gently, “Father, let me deal with this. As for the reason, I’ll tell you later!”

Beitang Ming froze when he saw how confident his son was. Knowing his son’s personality, he chose to trust him. Beitang Mo took a few steps forward, eyes on Long Chen, and said, “There are no outsiders here, so I am alright with saying this directly. I can agree to calling off the wedding, but on one condition.”

“What is it? Tell me,” said Long Chen mildly, looking at this young man he once admired.

“Simple. You take one strike from me, and you’re not allowed to fight back. If you survive, I will not mention the marriage again!” said Beitang Mo.

“You were the one who said it!” Long Chen knew that he was at the mid Heavenly Core Realm, which was countless times stronger than himself. But at least he was weaker than Beitang Ming. Many people already knew of their plan to let Beitang Mo wed Yang Lingqing, so asking them to stop all of a sudden would result in a huge blow to their reputation.

Long Chen knew that the father and son duo would not stop without him paying a price that was high enough! “You can’t do this!” Yang Lingqing was horrified when Long Chen agreed without hesitation. She knew their cultivation levels, and letting Long Chen withstand a hit from Beitang Mo was like hitting an egg with a rock. He’d shatter to pieces!

“Lingqing, this is none of your business.” Yang Lingqing was only at the initial Human Core Realm, so how would she resist Long Chen? Therefore, she was pushed back to Dongfang Xuanxiao’s side. Long Chen knew that he’d help hold Yang Lingqing back.

As expected, Dongfang Xuanxiao reached out and grabbed her tightly. She was fearfully pale, struggling as hard as she could, but she could not move. “Big Brother, don’t do it! I don’t want you to die! I am willing to marry him! Isn’t that enough?!” Hot tears flowed from her eyes. Her heart was broken when she saw how willing he was to risk his life for her. The figure standing in front of herself suddenly looked so dignified!

“Lord Xuanxiao! You can’t let him get killed, he’s your stepson! Are you going to let him die like that?” When she noticed Xuanxiao, she begged tearfully, as if she had found the piece of straw that would save his life.

Dongfang Xuanxiao took a deep breath. He was also torn internally. Finally, he ignored her tears, gritted his teeth and asked Long Chen, “Kid, are you confident?”

“Yes!” Long Chen answered without hesitation.

“Remember, you owe me a lot. I’m still waiting for you to repay me,” said Dongfang Xuanxiao.

“I remember.” Long Chen forced a smile, then he looked at her. “Don’t you know that you look so ugly when you cry? Be a good girl and don’t cry. Watch me perform a miracle.”

Yang Lingqing’s eyes were filled with tears, crying so hard that she couldn’t speak. Infinite regret filled her heart. She regretted going to see Long Chen yesterday, causing him to sniff her out. She regretted unconsciously walking to Long Chen’s side just now, proving that she was unwilling to marry Beitang Mo.

She was the one to blame for her cousin’s death.

“Miracle? Enough of that nonsense. If you agree, then let’s begin! I’m so touched by the sibling love you two share,” said Beitang Mo with a chuckle.

“Do it.” Before Yang Lingqing’s broken-hearted gaze, Long Chen walked to the center of the hall and stood tall in front of the number one prodigy of the Northern Black Tortoise family without even furrowing his brows!

As he walked, he activated his Dragon Soul Transformation. The blood-red armor of scales covered his whole body.

“Beast Soul Transformation? What demonic beast is that?” Beitang Ming was puzzled. Since Long Chen was currently at the Divine Core Realm, he instinctively thought that it was a Black-tier beast soul. But there were no beasts similar to the Underground Blood Lizard in the Black tier, so he couldn’t figure it out. Nonetheless, it was all irrelevant to him killing Long Chen.

Long Chen had already prepared himself, so his Qi and Blazing Thunder Power were at their peak forms, and the power of lightning and fire encircled his body.

Blazing Thunder Combat Body? It’s too bad it’s only Level Two. If it were in its Level Three complete form, my attack wouldn’t even be able to hurt one hair on his body! Beitang Mo was a knowledgeable person too.

Seeing as Long Chen was prepared, he chuckled coldly. Then, without hesitation, the Qi level of a mid Heavenly Core Realm cultivator erupted from his body. A cold, ink-green Yin aura radiated in all directions!

“Are you ready for death?” He smirked. As his Qi grew, he strode forward and then leaped, thrusting his palm out!

“Yin Poison Strike!”

A gust of Yin wind howled at Long Chen. Long Chen did not block the attack, letting his palm land squarely on his chest!

“Let’s see if you can survive this!”

Long Chen was thrown back into the air, while Beitang Mo laughed.

“Big Brother!” Yang Lingqing screamed, her face even paler because she saw that when Long Chen flew backwards, he spat out black blood mid-air and his face was blackened!

She was a member of the Northern Black Tortoise family, so she knew the power of their martial techniques. The Yin Poison Strike targeted his insides and specifically destroyed the tendons, blood vessels, bones, and organs. It was difficult for someone like Long Chen to survive a strike. Even if he did, his meridians would break and clot, and his cultivation would regress!
