Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 187: Life-and-Death Challenge!

"Father!"

Tuoba Jiao glared at Tuoba Jin. "Do you even consider me your daughter anymore?"

"Of course I do," Tuoba Jin said with a smile. "You are the apple of my eye." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"If that’s the case, then from this second onward, don’t you ever mention that guy in front of me again!" Tuoba Jiao wished she could slap Long Chen to death right then and there. "Otherwise, I’ll consider you no longer my father!"

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Jin opened his mouth to speak but hesitated, ultimately letting out only a sigh. He said nothing more and had to let the matter drop.

But deep down, he felt it was a real pity.

When Long Chen returned to his chambers, he found Chen Yao waiting for him by the door.

"Steward," he greeted her.

Hearing his voice, Chen Yao turned around with a smile. "How did it go? The War King must have given you a generous reward, right?"

At the mention of this, Long Chen’s mind flashed to Tuoba Jin’s intention to betroth Tuoba Jiao to him, and an inexplicable sense of panic seized him. He quickly shook his head to cast the thought from his mind and could only force a smile. "He just called me over for a chat. He reminded me that despite my good results in the Demon Pursuit Conference, I should remain humble and not let my cultivation stagnate. He also promoted me to a first-class disciple."

"That’s excellent! Gaining the War King’s favor will surely cause your status in the Martial Ancestor Sect to rise accordingly. Perform well, and your future will certainly be boundless!"

Long Chen did not respond, merely nodding his head.

If Chen Yao knew that the War King not only favored him but was also eager to betroth Tuoba Jiao to him, she would probably be shocked speechless.

"By the way, Steward, did you need something from me?" Long Chen changed the subject.

Chen Yao waved her hand, and a pile of rewards emerged from her storage ring. It was another large quantity of elixir pills and rare medicinal ingredients.

"These are the well-deserved rewards for your outstanding performance at the Demon Pursuit Conference."

She then picked out a bottle of pills from the pile. "The pills in here are Boundary Break Pills. Regardless of your current realm, taking one will allow you to quickly break through an entire great realm. There are only five such pills in the entire Martial Ancestor Sect, making them extremely precious! I see you’re close to the War Ancestor Realm, so I believe this pill will be a great help to you in breaking through."

"Thank you, Steward."

Just as Long Chen was about to store all the rewards, a cold shout suddenly rang out. "Hold on!"

Two figures flickered into existence. In the blink of an eye, they appeared in front of Long Chen.

The newcomers were none other than Shangguan Pojun and Su Miaoyu.

Seeing the Boundary Break Pill in front of Long Chen, Shangguan Pojun’s eyes lit up, and he lunged for it.

Seeing this, Long Chen hurriedly swept all the rewards back into his storage ring. At the same time, he thrust a palm forward!

BANG!

Their palms collided.

Long Chen staggered back several steps before he barely managed to steady himself. Relying solely on the enhancement from his cultivation technique, there was still a significant gap between him and Shangguan Pojun.

After gaining the upper hand, Shangguan Pojun sneered. "You’re just a first-class disciple who got promoted by exception. You have no right to possess this Boundary Break Pill. Hand it over immediately!"

He was currently at the Ninth Layer of the War Ancestor Realm. Despite his arduous cultivation, he had been unable to cross the threshold into the War King Realm. If he could take this Boundary Break Pill, he would be able to truly step into the War King Realm in a short amount of time.

He had tried many times to obtain a Boundary Break Pill, even seeking help from several elders, but the Martial Ancestor Sect had never approved his request. He never imagined that the Martial Ancestor Sect would actually give such a precious and rare Boundary Break Pill to Long Chen!

This infuriated him.

So, the moment he received the news, he had rushed here as fast as he could, intent on snatching the pill.

Seeing Shangguan Pojun about to attack Long Chen again, Chen Yao frowned and intervened. A powerful pressure instantly enveloped Shangguan Pojun, making his entire body feel heavy.

Chen Yao unleashed a palm strike, aimed directly at Shangguan Pojun’s chest.

Shangguan Pojun’s expression changed drastically. Chen Yao’s cultivation realm was higher than his. Facing such a powerful attack, he had no choice but to abandon his own attack and cross his arms to block.

Chen Yao’s palm strike sent him flying.

Shangguan Pojun crashed to the ground, cutting a pathetic figure. However, Chen Yao had held back and hadn’t actually injured him.

"Brother Po Jun!" Seeing Shangguan Pojun on the ground, Su Miaoyu’s face paled, and she hurried forward to help him up. "Brother Po Jun, are you alright?"

Shangguan Pojun’s expression was grim. He fixed a cold stare on Chen Yao. "As a steward, you dare attack me? I’m going to file a complaint with the elders!"

Chen Yao retorted, "And you? A disciple of the Earth Institute, trespassing here to attack a fellow sect member? Besides, I was merely stopping you. Even if you complain to the Great Elder, it will be useless. On the contrary, you attacked a fellow disciple first, tried to steal his belongings, and then showed disrespect to a steward. With all these offenses combined, believe me, you won’t be able to handle the repercussions!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Pojun was rendered speechless, unsure how to rebut. Just as Chen Yao had said, if the higher-ups learned of this, he would be the one to truly suffer.

Realizing he was in the wrong, Shangguan Pojun snarled through clenched teeth, "Kid, consider yourself lucky today! You just wait, sooner or later, I’ll make you—"

"There’s no need to wait." Long Chen cut him off before he could finish, his gaze like ice as he stared down Shangguan Pojun and Su Miaoyu. "I am issuing a life-and-death challenge to you both, right now!"
