Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 64 - I Accept Being Second to None; No One Dares Claim First!

"Wait!" Huang Xu suddenly called out.

Long Chen furrowed his brow and withdrew his hand, his expression impatient. "What else do you want?"

Under the gazes of the crowd, Huang Xu said flatly, "You haven’t used a Martial Technique. Just now, when you fought Tang Le, you used some kind of Mystic Technique."

"There’s no need!" Long Chen said with disdain. Tang Le was a Half-step Warrior, yet Huang Xu had suppressed his own realm down to the Ninth Layer of the Warrior Realm.

The Ninth Layer of the Warrior Realm was a notch below a Half-step Warrior, putting him on the same level as Long Chen. His Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body was absolutely invincible within the same realm! Thus, using a Martial Technique was irrelevant. No matter how strong his opponent, he could be defeated in a single move!

"No need?" Huang Xu’s eyes darkened, a flicker of anger rising in his heart. What arrogance!

Not far away, Tang Le agreed wholeheartedly. "I also think it’s completely unnecessary!"

Having already fought Long Chen, Tang Le was keenly aware of his power. He could easily defeat a Half-step Warrior while only at the Ninth Layer of the Warrior Realm. How could he possibly lose now, fighting someone at the same level? Moreover, Tang Le was no ordinary Half-step Warrior. Across the entire Martial Ancestor Sect and for thousands of miles around, few people were worthy of his full attention!

"Regardless, you must use a Martial Technique, and it must be no weaker than the Mystic Technique you just used," Huang Xu stated coldly. "I have suppressed my realm to the Ninth Layer of the Warrior Realm and will be using the Vajra Fierce Tiger Fist. In this way, my Martial Arts Realm will be lower than Tang Le’s, but the Martial Technique will be the same. If you lose, it will prove that you both were lying!"

Hearing this, Long Chen finally understood. So that’s his game. Huang Xu is being so insistent just to prove that Tang Le and I were lying. He wants to establish concrete evidence in front of everyone so he can punish us justifiably!

"Of course, if you admit right now that you colluded with Tang Le to cheat, I’ll still give you a chance for a lighter punishment," Huang Xu said indifferently. "I am giving you these chances for Senior Sister Chen Yao’s sake. Don’t squander them!"

"Hahaha! Steward Huang, your methods are truly brilliant! After you’ve tried to dissuade him so many times, if Long Chen really loses, no one will suspect you of deliberately setting us up when you punish us. Senior Sister Chen Yao won’t be able to do a thing! And if Long Chen refuses to fight, you’ll have an even better excuse to punish us, and no one could criticize you for being too harsh." Tang Le clapped his hands and laughed in mock admiration. "No wonder they call you the ’Watertight Villain.’ You truly are..."

"Insolence!" the five Heads of the Court shouted in unison.

Huang Xu waved a dismissive hand. "Pay him no mind. Let him be smug for a moment. I’ll soon make him regret his audacity!"

"Yes, Steward Huang," the five Heads of the Court replied, bowing in acceptance of his order.

Long Chen gave a helpless, wry smile. "Fine. If you insist on me using a Martial Technique, then I’ll grant your wish. I’m just afraid I’ll break you!"

SIZZLE... CRACKLE!

In an instant, lightning wreathed Long Chen’s fingers. It was one of the Long Family’s two unique Profound-Level Martial Techniques: the Furious Thunder Finger!

Seeing this and hearing his words, Huang Xu laughed with fury. "You’re afraid you’ll break me? How dare you speak with such arrogance! You show no remorse and still insist on fighting. Very well, let me see just how capable a mere native of Dragon City can be!"

ROAR!

A phantom of a ferocious tiger, formed from pure flame, materialized behind Huang Xu. It was the Earth-Level Martial Technique, Vajra Fierce Tiger Fist! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"It seems my background is what gives you such confidence!" Long Chen sneered, launching himself forward and thrusting his Furious Thunder Finger at Huang Xu.

"Even if you have some uncommon talent that earned you Chen Yao’s favor, you can’t hide your lowly origin!" Huang Xu sneered. "I, Huang Xu, am not one to be intimidated! Whether you’re insisting on this fight to bluff and scare me off, or your humble background has simply left you too ignorant to take me seriously, you will pay a painful price today!"

As his voice fell, Huang Xu threw his punch at Long Chen.

The onlookers all watched with pity in their eyes. No one believed he could be Huang Xu’s opponent. After all, Huang Xu was the former Second Senior Brother of the Human Institute, second only to Senior Sister Chen Yao herself. He represented the pinnacle of combat power among the Human Institute Disciples! Even as a steward, he was not to be underestimated.

"Is that so?" Long Chen retorted with a sneer, his finger jabbing forward.

SPURT!

In an instant, blood sprayed into the air! Under the disbelieving gazes of the crowd, Long Chen’s single finger had shattered Huang Xu’s Vajra Fierce Tiger Fist! In that single exchange, the fierce tiger phantom vanished into thin air.

Furthermore, Long Chen’s finger, wreathed in lightning, had pierced straight through Huang Xu’s fist!

But it didn’t end there. After penetrating the fist, the lightning from the Furious Thunder Finger shot forward! The bolt of purple-white lightning then pierced through Huang Xu’s chest, sending another spray of blood into the air!

"Aaargh..." Huang Xu coughed up a mouthful of blood as the force of the blow sent him reeling backward to the ground.

Long Chen looked down with disdain at the fallen Huang Xu. "If you hadn’t insisted that I use a Martial Technique, you wouldn’t have been so grievously injured and utterly defeated!"

"Within the same realm, if I claim to be second, then no one dares to claim first!"

As Long Chen’s words fell, a dead silence descended upon the scene.
