Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 201 - It’s Decided!

GASP!

The entire audience sucked in a cold breath.

No one had expected that Shangguan He, the Great Elder of the Earth Institute, would actually be defeated. He was a powerhouse at the War King Realm Third Level, yet he had been beaten by the combined efforts of Chu Lingjun and Long Chen. The outcome was completely unexpected.

"How are you?" Chu Lingjun instinctively asked, concerned for Long Chen.

"I’m fine." Long Chen shook his head slightly and pleaded, "Please, take care of Xin’er for me."

"Mhm." Chu Lingjun nodded, appeared beside Long Xin, and helped her up. She then placed an Elixir Pill into her mouth.

"Thank you, Sister Chu!" After consuming the Elixir Pill, Long Xin felt much better and looked at Chu Lingjun gratefully.

Seeing himself pinned under Long Chen’s foot, Shangguan He was so enraged his beard bristled. He roared coldly, "You bastard, get your foot off me this instant!"

With that, Shangguan He tried to attack Long Chen, but in his heavily injured state, he no longer posed a threat.

Long Chen pressed down with his foot.

CRACK!

The sound of shattering bone rang out as his sternum was broken.

Shangguan He’s features twisted ferociously as he let out a miserable scream. "You beast! How dare you lay a hand on me! I’ll skin you alive and break every bone in your body! I will tear you to pieces and grind your bones to ash!"

His face was crimson, veins bulging on his forehead, making for a terrifying sight.

Long Chen ignored Shangguan He’s threats, instead releasing an immensely powerful pressure that enveloped the old man. Shangguan He’s entire body was severely compressed, his bones deforming under the strain. Beneath the intense pressure, he began to bleed from all seven orifices.

"You hurt Xin’er. I won’t let you get away with it!" Long Chen struck out with several successive palm strikes. Teeth and bloody spittle flew through the air.

Shangguan He’s old face swelled up like a pig’s head, and he was left on the brink of death.

Just as Long Chen prepared to deliver the finishing blow, Chu Lingjun hurriedly stopped him. "Long Chen, stop!"

Long Chen looked up at her.

"He is the Great Elder of the Earth Institute, after all. Just teach him a lesson and leave it at that," Chu Lingjun persuaded. "If you really kill him, things will become very difficult!"

Long Xin, also worried for Long Chen’s safety, quickly added, "Brother Chen, let it go."

Hearing their words, Long Chen reined in his killing intent. However, he still sent a kick into Shangguan He’s body.

BANG!

Shangguan He slammed heavily against the hard wall and passed out completely. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Witnessing this, everyone’s eyelids twitched violently. Their gazes toward Long Chen were now tinged with fear. No one could have imagined that Long Chen would torture Shangguan He to such a degree. He was like a demon.

At that moment, the commotion attracted many of the Martial Ancestor’s upper echelon. Human King Tuoba Jin, Earth King Shangguan Yuan, and Heaven King Chu Zhentian—the three most powerful figures of the three Institutes—had all arrived.

All the Disciples of the Martial Ancestor present revealed respectful expressions and bowed in greeting.

Upon seeing the scene, Tuoba Jin, Shangguan Yuan, and Chu Zhentian all frowned simultaneously. Su Miaoyu and Shangguan Pojun were tragically dead, while the Great Elder of the Earth Institute, Shangguan He, was on his last breath. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Martial Ancestor.

Shangguan Yuan’s expression immediately turned to one of fury, for Shangguan Pojun was his nephew.

"Po Jun!" Shangguan Yuan walked over to Shangguan Pojun’s body, his face grim as he cried out in anguish.

But Shangguan Pojun’s head had been reduced to a mushy pulp; he was beyond dead.

Shangguan Yuan’s gaze darkened as he stared at Long Chen. "Did you kill them?"

"I did," Long Chen replied indifferently. "In a life-or-death battle, isn’t it normal for someone to die?"

"You..." Shangguan Yuan was enraged.

Long Chen retorted, "What? Are you also going to be unreasonable and protect one of your own?"

"Insolent!" Shangguan Yuan berated him. "Of all people, you should never have touched him! Since you did, you will pay a terrible price! A life for a life! I will claim it from you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Yuan moved to strike Long Chen. At the critical moment, Tuoba Jin intervened, blocking his path.

"Shangguan Yuan, are you deaf?" Tuoba Jin demanded. "This was a life-or-death battle! Even if Shangguan Pojun and Su Miaoyu died, it’s not an issue."

"Tuoba Jin, this has nothing to do with you!" Shangguan Yuan shouted angrily. "It wasn’t your nephew who died! If it were, let’s see if you’d still be trying to reason with me!"

Shangguan Pojun had lost his father at a young age and had been raised by Shangguan Yuan ever since. To cultivate him, Shangguan Yuan not only arranged for Shangguan He to be his master but also allocated a vast amount of the Earth Institute’s resources for his training. Nearly thirty years flashed by in the blink of an eye, and Shangguan Pojun had, as hoped, become one of the Martial Ancestor’s three great Heaven’s Chosen. Now, to witness the man he had spent so many years cultivating die right before his eyes was an immense blow.

"Nonsense!" Tuoba Jin retorted coldly. "How does this not concern me? Long Chen is a member of my Human Institute! His business is my business! Tell me, why shouldn’t I get involved?"

"The one who died was a member of my Shangguan Family Clan!" Shangguan Yuan’s heart was filled with rage, and he looked ready to take down Long Chen at any cost. "If you don’t get out of my way, don’t blame me for turning on you!"

"Enough!" Chu Zhentian could no longer stand by and watch, shouting in a deep voice.

"Brother," Shangguan Yuan said, looking at Chu Zhentian, "my nephew was tragically killed. Shouldn’t justice be served?"

"Dad, the battle between Shangguan Pojun, Su Miaoyu, and Long Chen was a life-or-death battle from the start," Chu Lingjun said to Chu Zhentian. "Furthermore, it was Great Elder Shangguan He who attacked Long Chen first. We couldn’t bear to watch, so we stepped in to help. If we start assigning blame for what happens in a life-or-death battle, then the very rules of our Martial Ancestor will be broken. Wouldn’t that dishearten all the disciples?"
