Dragon War God-Chapter 352 - Seven Killings Demon Finger

Everyone backed away to make space for Yang Jun and the Third Demon Elder in front of the Martial Library, waiting excitedly to watch the show. They shot Long Chen occasional glances but were shocked to find that he was neither panicked nor anxious. Long Chen and Zhao Qingyun stood together and watched calmly, their expressions identical.

“They are indeed master and disciple,” someone commented.

“Nonsense. He’s merely mimicking the Palace Lord. His acting is quite good though. We’ll see if he’s only putting on an act later when he’s up against the Third Demon Elder.”

Zhao Qingyun turned to look at Long Chen and said, “Are you really confident you’ll win?”

“No, I’m just going with the flow. At worst, he can have it. Anything that belongs to me will come eventually. Also, I’m very used to merit-based competition,” Long Chen responded with a small smile.

“You’ve changed a lot since you came to Heavenly Demon Palace.” Zhao Qingyun was pleased.

“Is that so?”

After Yang Jun and the Third Demon Elder exchanged some meaningless words, the test was finally about to begin. Zhao Qingyun and Long Chen did not speak; they merely watched quietly. Long Chen paid extra attention because he wanted to get an estimate of the Third Demon Elder’s strength and think of a strategy.

Yang Jun turned and gave Long Chen a look of challenge and viciousness. Then he looked at his master, and the power of a peak Seventh River Stage cultivator exploded within him. He pounced at the Third Demon Elder instantly at awesome speed, his agility not influenced by his large stature at all. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the Third Demon Elder.

“Good!” The Third Demon Elder nodded approvingly, cheering Yang Jun on.

The people watching were mostly between the Sixth and Seventh River Stages; very few of them were at the Eighth River Stage. They were also very satisfied with Yang Jun’s performance and cheered him on.

He lived up to his reputation as the Third Demon Elder’s number one disciple. They could tell he was extraordinary from the moment he attacked!

Everyone was certain that Yang Jun would win the Traceless Demon Shadow scripture.

“Seven Killings Demon Finger!” Yang Jun roared as Qi exploded from inside him. A faint cloud of black Qi flew towards the Third Demon Elder. The finger seal was activated, and seven consecutive finger attacks were launched. Every attack carried formidable power, attacking the Third Demon Elder from all directions. This attack targeted the seven most important meridians of the human body. Only one attack hitting its target was needed to kill the opponent instantly!

The Seven Killings Demon Finger was an advanced Earth-tier combat technique. It only took one glance for Long Chen to know how powerful it was. Each of the seven consecutive attacks was more powerful than the last. Cultivators of the same level would find it hard to withstand this attack!

“Not bad!” praised the Third Demon Elder. He moved his feet, then he blurred into countless afterimages that surrounded where he initially was. Once Yang Jun’s attack had passed through, everyone saw that the Third Demon Elder was actually still standing on the same spot. Yang Jun’s seven consecutive attacks had all passed the Third Demon Elder without hitting their target even once!

“Yang Jun, again!”

He was very pleased with Yang Jun’s performance, so he called out to Yang Jun again to let him show off his skills.

“Yes, Master!”

Yang Jun was filled with battle spirit under the encouragement of his master. He moved on the tips of his toes and charged at the Third Demon Elder once more. This time, he used an even more powerful attack, coupled with a body combat technique!

“Long Chen, did you see that? The body combat technique that the Third Demon Elder used was the Heaven-tier Traceless Demon Shadow,” Zhao Qingyun whispered.

Long Chen had already guessed this himself. When the Third Demon Elder used the technique, illusory images of himself were everywhere, so no one could tell which one was the real him. And just like that, Yang Jun’s attacks passed through without hitting him.

A technique like that could be used to dodge an enemy’s attack, as well as boost one’s own attacks to become unimaginably more destructive. Long Chen privately swore to get Traceless Demon Shadow no matter what!

Of course, Yang Jun was doing his very best. There were many people watching, so the Third Demon Elder would embarrass himself if was too lenient. Plus, would Yang Jun even need him to be lenient?

“Seventy-Two Paths True Demon Fist!” Yang Jun successfully charged right up to the Third Demon Elder. His body shook and he let out a terrifying roar like a wild beast. Tan, solid muscles bulged from his body, and he threw heavy punches at the Third Demon Elder. The wind howled at every move!

“First Path!”

This was clearly an even higher-level Earth-tier combat technique. The Seven Killings Demon Finger only had seven moves, but this one had seventy-two, which was ten times more. As the attacks stacked up, the force they generated grew stronger and stronger. The final destructive force was much more powerful than the Seven Killings Demon Finger!

Combat techniques of the same tier could vary in power. The Seven Killings Demon Finger was considered a more elementary technique within the advanced Earth-tier, while the Seventy-Two Paths True Demon Fist was one of the more powerful ones.

The Seventy-Two Paths True Demon Fist caused a huge commotion. Yang Jun turned into a powerful gust of wind that forced the Third Demon Elder, who could not retaliate, backwards. He roared hysterically and threw increasingly heavy punches. Everyone was privately shaken by the crazed look on his face.

Yang Jun had a nickname, “Crazy Demon,” because he was crazy both when he cultivated and fought. This was why he had managed to become the Third Demon Elder’s number one disciple.

To be honest, the two prodigies who were at the Eighth River Stage were not feared by the younger disciples; they were most afraid of provoking Yang Jun because that meant never-ending trouble in the future. Long Chen had clearly invited a lot of trouble on this day.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Third Demon Elder had a heavy expression, but he did not move his feet. Instead, he used a simple fist technique to neutralize Yang Jun’s attack. This was actually an indirect show of leniency. If he had used Traceless Demon Shadow since the beginning, Yang Jun would not have been able to force him back. Therefore, the Third Demon Elder now looked like he was using all his energy to defend himself.

“Not bad! Not bad!”

The Third Demon Elder’s precise punch interrupted Yang Jun’s attack, even forcing his next punch back. However, Yang Jun did not lose his focus because of this. With a fierce grimace, he roared once more, and Qi erupted from his body. He charged once more and threw another punch towards the Third Demon Elder’s abdomen, leaving a black demonic shadow in his wake!

Slam!

The Third Demon Elder used his arm to block this punch. However, Yang Jun had used all his strength in this punch, so the vibration from its momentum shattered the Third Demon Elder’s sleeve. Even part of the Third Demon Elder’s arm was reddened from the vibrations!

By then, the Third Demon Elder knew that it was enough. The moment Yang Jun hit him, he moved his arms quickly and gripped Yang Jun’s neck, so he was in a tight chokehold. If he wanted to, he could kill Yang Jun whenever he wanted.

This meant that Yang Jun had lost.

But Yang Jun was happy because shattering a Ninth River Stage cultivator’s sleeve while being at the Seventh River Stage himself was the best he had ever done. Of course, the Third Demon Elder had been lenient.

I have managed to shatter Master’s sleeve, while Long Chen probably won’t even be able to touch Master. Looks like Traceless Demon Shadow will surely be mine today.

Yang Jun was very happy. Under the Third Demon Elder’s instruction, he silently stepped away to let Long Chen have the space.

Although you did not get to beat me, how dare you try to fight me? While I can’t kill you in public, there are countless ways to kill someone. Long Chen, today is your unlucky day. It’s your fault for provoking us and wasting my time.

Yang Jun thought he would get his hands on Traceless Demon Shadow with no issues, but then Long Chen. If not for the Third Demon Elder for pressuring the Palace Lord, Yang Jun would’ve been the one with the unhappy ending.

He was the chosen one. If he could not even beat a newly recruited disciple, Yang Jun would not be able to live with himself.

“Long Chen, do well,” Zhao Qingyun said to Long Chen. freew(e)bnove(l)

Long Chen nodded and walked into the battlefield. The Third Demon Elder, who was now missing a sleeve, stood with his hands behind his back. He watched Long Chen with amusement.

“Third Demon Elder, it looks like your arm was itchy because you reached out to let your disciple scratch it! I wonder, is it still itchy now? Your arm isn’t the only place I can scratch; I can do other things too.”

Long Chen’s mocking words made the Third Demon Elder’s face turn dark red. He glared at Long Chen coldly and said, “You brat, don’t you twist the truth with your slippery words! Time waits for no one. Be quick and get on with it. I have many matters to attend to in the clan, and I don’t have time to waste with you here.”

Long Chen smiled, preparing to attack. At the same time, he was thinking of a perfect strategy. It looks like I will need to use that technique. I’ll pretend to be a pig, then eat the tiger.

With that thought, Long Chen charged lazily at the Third Demon Elder without even using his Azure Dragon Halberd or Dragon Soul Transformation. He used the Sword Devil Finger instead!

“Such a low-level combat technique! It can’t even scratch my itch!” When the Third Demon Elder saw how weak Long Chen’s attack was, he burst into laughter. Although the Sword Devil Finger was a decent attack, it was easily shattered with a flick of his hand. It could not even break through the Third Demon Elder’s defenses.

Long Chen put on a shocked expression and cried in disappointment, “That’s impossible! My advanced Black-tier combat technique is very powerful! It didn’t even touch him, why?!”

His panicked reaction was within everyone’s expectations.
