Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 304 Ambushed!

Before them lay a field of ruins. The once-magnificent buildings were now just a collapsed heap on the ground, and the air was thick with the heavy scent of blood.

Standing beside him, Chu Lingjun couldn’t help but furrow her brows at the sight. Her mouth fell slightly open, her pretty face a mask of shock. She had never imagined the Guiyuan Academy would suffer such a catastrophe.

"No... How could this be?" Long Chen muttered, his face filled with disbelief, utterly unable to believe his eyes.

"Long Chen!" Chu Lingjun quickly grabbed his hand, about to offer some comfort, but he tore his hand away and vanished in a flash.

He raced toward the Guiyuan Academy’s grounds at top speed. When he landed, the scene before him struck him with a devastating blow. Countless bodies of Guiyuan Academy disciples lay strewn across the ground. Bright red blood had stained the earth crimson.

Long Chen’s brow furrowed deeply. He tried to walk forward, but his legs felt as if they were weighted down with lead, making each step an immense effort. Chu Lingjun’s mood was just as somber. She followed him silently, not uttering a word. The pungent, nauseating stench of blood assaulted their senses.

The disciples had met brutal ends—some were beheaded, others cleaved in two, and still others had gaping, bloody holes in their chests. The sheer variety of gruesome deaths was enough to make one’s scalp tingle at a glance. The scene was exceptionally bloody and chilling.

As Long Chen reached a certain spot, he suddenly froze, his body rigid. He saw Wei Lin and Lin Feifei lying on the ground before him, one to his left and one to his right, both covered in blood.

Long Chen quickly snapped out of his daze and rushed to their side. Bending down, he checked for any signs of life. Regrettably, they were both gone. Long Chen slowly closed his eyes, his heart immensely heavy.

Lifting his gaze, his heart trembled once more. The dean, Fu Qing, leaned against a wall, his eyes wide with bitter resentment.

Long Chen slowly rose and walked to his side.

What on earth happened here?! To decimate the Guiyuan Academy so swiftly, the attackers’ strength must be truly terrifying.

Unfortunately, there was no one left to answer his question. He would never have imagined that this was all a consequence of the events in the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land.

Without a word, he gently passed his hand over Fu Qing’s eyes.

"Dean, I, Long Chen, swear I will investigate this thoroughly and avenge the Guiyuan Academy!"

When he finished speaking, Long Chen slowly moved his hand away. The dean’s wide eyes finally closed.

"Long Chen! This belongs to Senior Feng!" Chu Lingjun’s voice suddenly called out from behind him.

Hearing her, Long Chen immediately turned and hurried to her side. He glanced down. In Chu Lingjun’s palm was the very flute Feng Ziyuan always loved to play, now snapped in two.

Long Chen clenched the broken flute tightly, a storm of emotion surging within him.

Could Senior Feng have also met with disaster?!

He shook his head slightly, not daring to let the thought take root.

Why? Why did it have to be like this?! Feng Ziyuan was, for all intents and purposes, his mentor! Though he had never called him that and Feng Ziyuan had never asked for it, he had not only helped him achieve a breakthrough but had also taught him the Supreme Secret Technique of the Guiyuan Academy. Not only that, but Feng Ziyuan had also healed Chu Lingjun. To Long Chen, Feng Ziyuan wasn’t just a benefactor; he was his master. But now, his master had suffered such a terrible fate!

This outcome was more than Long Chen could accept.

Chu Lingjun’s face was also filled with sorrow. If not for Feng Ziyuan, she wouldn’t be standing here now; she would have long since descended into Hell. Yet now, when he was in trouble, she was completely powerless, unable to help in any way. The thought filled her with guilt. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Chu Lingjun finally asked, "Long Chen, did the Guiyuan Academy offend some powerful faction? How could it bring about such a deadly calamity?!"

To this, Long Chen just shook his head. "I don’t know either."

No sooner had he spoken than a grave expression flashed across his face. He immediately turned to Chu Lingjun and said, "Go!"

Without a shred of hesitation, Chu Lingjun prepared to leave with him, but a powerful stream of Sword Qi shot at them from behind. Seeing that it was impossible to dodge, Long Chen swiftly pulled Chu Lingjun back and lashed out with a punch.

BOOM!

The powerful force blasted Long Chen backward. A wave of intense, numbing pain washed over him, leaving him reeling.

"Long Chen!" Chu Lingjun cried out in alarm, whipping her head around to look at him.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine," Long Chen replied.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

At that moment, several figures appeared around them, forming a circle and trapping Long Chen and Chu Lingjun within.
