Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 181 Coercion!

"That’s correct," Li Sheng transmitted, making no attempt to hide it. "Ma Cheng of the Sword Ancestor is the great-grandson of an elder from our World King Palace. He has been training with the Sword Ancestor for years, and now it’s time for him to burnish his reputation and return to the World King Palace." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I see," Long Chen murmured upon learning Ma Cheng’s true identity.

No wonder the people from the World King Palace had always been so biased, favoring the Sword Ancestor at every turn. So that was the connection.

"So what?" Long Chen was unafraid, raising his head to look at Li Sheng. "Just because this Ma Cheng is one of your World King Palace people, you want me to give up first place to him?"

This time, Long Chen did not use a voice transmission, instead asking the question aloud for all to hear.

At his words, the entire audience was stunned.

"What’s going on?"

"What just happened?"

"Senior Brother Ma is from the World King Palace?"

"Are they forcing Long Chen to give up first place?"

A buzz of discussion erupted as all eyes fixed on Long Chen.

Sensing something was wrong, Chu Zhentian looked at Li Sheng and asked, "Sir, based on points, our Martial Ancestor’s disciple, Long Chen, is the undisputed first-place winner. Is there some kind of problem?"

Li Sheng’s brow furrowed slightly as a chill emanated from his body. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped by several degrees, sending a shiver down everyone’s spine.

"Since when do I need you to tell me how I conduct my affairs?" His cold eyes swept over Chu Zhentian, accompanied by an incredibly powerful coercive pressure that made Chu Zhentian’s heart tremble.

"I wouldn’t dare..." Chu Zhentian cupped his hands, seething with silent indignation.

An Zhun, Li Man, and Feng Xin of the Sword Ancestor sneered inwardly. What fools, these people from the Martial Ancestor. So what if they surpassed us in points? In the end, the ultimate victory can only belong to our Sword Ancestor! We’ve fostered Ma Cheng for years; if not for merit, then for sheer effort. All of this is thanks to us constantly flattering Li Sheng back in the day. Li Sheng even put in a good word for us with that elder in the World King Palace, which is how we got the opportunity for Ma Cheng to train with the Sword Ancestor. It is precisely because we are backed by a towering tree like the World King Palace that we have always been fearless in targeting the Martial Ancestor, growing more and more brazen! Li Sheng just used a voice transmission to tell Long Chen to give up first place. Who would have thought he’d not only refuse to play along but would also publicly expose Li Sheng’s intentions, showing him no face at all. Li Sheng is from the World King Palace; how could he possibly tolerate such insolence from a junior? Now there’s a good show to watch. Not only will Long Chen suffer, but the Martial Ancestor won’t escape the blame either!

Li Sheng’s frigid gaze landed on Long Chen. "Boy, do you have any idea what the consequences of your words will be?"

"Are you threatening me?" Long Chen did not back down, his tone hardening. "For someone from the World King Palace to act this way in front of everyone... wouldn’t it become a laughingstock if word got out?"

"Insolent!" A powerful wave of pressure erupted from Li Sheng, instantly enveloping Long Chen.

Seeing this, Long Chen threw a punch with all his might to defend himself. Under the tremendous pressure, his feet sank deep into the ground.

"You dare to resist?" Li Sheng sneered dismissively and waved his hand. "Ant!"

PFFT! Long Chen was sent flying backward, grievously injured.

"Brother Chen!" Long Xin cried out in alarm, rushing to his side and helping him up. "Are you alright?"

"Don’t worry, I won’t die," Long Chen said, though the qi and blood roiled within him, causing him to spit out another mouthful of fresh blood.

"Brother Chen, let me heal you!" Long Xin cried, hurriedly infusing a large amount of battle qi into Long Chen’s body.

Chu Lingjun and the others frowned deeply. None of them had expected that someone from the World King Palace would attack Long Chen so directly.

"Serves him right!" Seeing Long Chen injured, Su Miaoyu beamed with delight.

Shangguan Pojun also let out a sneer. In his eyes, Long Chen had brought this upon himself. Only a brain-dead fool would act so recklessly in front of Li Sheng. If Long Chen died here, it would certainly save him a lot of trouble in the future.

"Embarrassed into a rage because I exposed your hypocritical mask?" Long Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a cold smile forming. "If that’s how it is, then I’ll go all in. Plenty of factions are watching this Demon Pursuit Conference, so everything that happens here will spread. This is a perfect opportunity to let everyone see just how despicable and filthy the conduct of the World King Palace truly is."

"You’re courting death!" Li Sheng was genuinely furious. In this tiny Wilderness Region, someone actually dared to disrespect him so blatantly. It was preposterous!

Just as Li Sheng was about to strike Long Chen again, Chu Lingjun’s expression tightened. As she prepared to use all her strength to help Long Chen escape, a massive boom erupted from within Nine Demons Mountain.

A figure flickered into existence, appearing before Long Chen with incredible speed.

"You dare harm my young master? You’re the one who deserves to die!" Xia Duoduo threw out a palm strike, instantly shattering Li Sheng’s attack.

"Who is this person?"

"She actually withstood a blow from that man?"

Everyone present stared at Xia Duoduo, their faces etched with shock and disbelief.

Seeing that it was Xia Duoduo, Long Chen’s heart leaped with joy. He was about to speak when he heard her voice transmit into his mind, "Young master, your identity is special. Before you become truly powerful, our relationship cannot be revealed, lest it bring trouble to you."

Long Chen considered her words for a moment and swallowed what he was about to say. She’s right. Now is indeed not the time to reveal my identity. If I’m exposed, I’ll attract even more attention. With my current strength, I wouldn’t be able to handle those truly powerful experts on my own.

"Who are you?" Sensing the potent aura emanating from Xia Duoduo, Li Sheng immediately grew wary.

"The one who will kill you," Xia Duoduo’s voice was ice-cold, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Li Sheng’s eyebrows knitted together. "Don’t spout such arrogant nonsense. You’re courting death—"

Before he could finish, Xia Duoduo’s figure flickered and vanished. Her speed was unbelievable, so fast that no one could track her movements. Neither Chu Zhentian nor An Zhun could follow her.

A single thought appeared in their minds at the same time. This woman is also a Warlord?!

Even Long Chen was stunned. He never imagined that Xia Duoduo, having recovered her true body, could possess such a level of strength!

In the blink of an eye, Xia Duoduo appeared directly in front of Li Sheng. A flash of red light flared! Accompanied by a vast and torrential power, it smashed ruthlessly toward Li Sheng’s head.
