Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 199: Advance and Retreat Together!

"He killed Long Family members and is responsible for my father’s disappearance. He deserved to die!" Long Chen replied calmly, completely unafraid.

"Good! Very good!" Shangguan He’s face was a mask of cold fury. "Since you have a death wish, allow me to send you on your way to accompany my disciple!"

As his words faded, Shangguan He struck out with his palm toward Long Chen. The full power of a War King Third Layer erupted in that instant.

Long Chen hurriedly moved to block the attack.

BOOM!

A terrifying pressure instantly enveloped Long Chen. His entire body felt heavy, and his knees began to bend under the force. His opponent’s strength far surpassed his own. Without using the Divine Demon Secret Technique Dragon Blood Boiling, he had no chance of victory.

However, he only had one use of the secret technique remaining and had to be cautious about deploying it. He couldn’t afford to be reckless—this was his trump card.

"Brother Chen!"

Seeing Long Chen in distress, Long Xin’s heart tightened. She flashed to his side in an instant, throwing a punch to help him resist the attack.

"Xin’er, get back!" Long Chen shouted urgently.

"No!" Long Xin’s gaze was firm, showing no hint of retreat in the face of the powerful strike. "Brother Chen, I will stand or fall with you! I’m not afraid, even if it means death!"

A warmth spread through Long Chen’s heart. This girl... she really is a fool. But how could I possibly let anything happen to her? Even if it means using Dragon Blood Boiling, I won’t hesitate!

Just as Long Chen prepared to activate the technique, Chu Lingjun also arrived at his side, striking out with a swift palm strike.

BANG!

Together, the three of them completely neutralized Shangguan He’s attack.

Shangguan He’s brow furrowed as he glared at Chu Lingjun. "You want to meddle in these muddy waters as well?"

"Elder Shangguan He," Chu Lingjun said coolly, "I can’t just stand by and watch you do this. If you insist on killing him, then I’m sorry, but I’m getting involved!"

Her attitude was resolute. Hearing this, Shangguan He narrowed his eyes. "You should be aware that he killed Shangguan Pojun!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"And you should be aware that it was a life-and-death battle!" Chu Lingjun retorted. "Fists and swords have no eyes. Since he dared to accept a life-and-death challenge, he must accept death if it comes. No one else is to blame!"

Chu Lingjun felt a sense of relief that the duel had been formally agreed upon days ago as a life-and-death battle. If not for that agreement, Long Chen’s position would have been incredibly tricky and dangerous.

Shangguan He’s face turned livid. Chu Lingjun’s status is special; I can’t harm her. I just need to deal with Long Chen!

With this thought, he spoke gravely, "In that case, there’s nothing more to say. I no longer need to consider any past sentiments!"

With that, Shangguan He flashed forward, heading straight for Long Chen.

Seeing this, Chu Lingjun moved to intercept but was blasted aside by Shangguan He’s power. He then drove his palm toward Long Chen’s face.

Long Chen quickly raised his arms to defend himself.

BANG!

He was sent flying backward. Under the powerful impact, his face turned pale as the blood and energy within him churned violently. He then coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

As his blood splattered upon the Emperor Meridians, they suddenly began to shine with a dazzling radiance, their golden light growing even more intense.

Long Chen was stunned. Weren’t the Emperor Meridians supposed to be useless after leaving my body a second time? Yet now, I can clearly feel them growing so much stronger. Why is this happening? Could it be because of my special physique?

Beyond this possibility, Long Chen couldn’t think of any other reasonable explanation.

As if sensing his blood, the Emperor Meridians suddenly appeared before him and entered his body uncontrollably.
