Ancestral Blood Blessing

He had no choice but to be furious, as Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin had been beaten so thoroughly they couldn't even stand up, and their faces had been stamped with countless shoe prints.

The other three Core Disciple powerhouses were being tightly held back by Song Mingyuan and his two companions, while another lay on the ground, his life or death unknown.

Now, the Alliance of their seven factions had all seven of their quivers completely looted, and all of this was thanks to Long Chen.

The incense was about to burn out, and if they didn't reclaim the flags, the seven major factions on their side would end up at the bottom.

"Long Chen, be careful!"

Tang Waner and Ye Zhiqiu were not as strong as Gu Yang, and Gu Yang's control over the Ancestral Runes far exceeded theirs, putting them at a severe disadvantage.

Long Chen smiled slightly, gave Tang Waner a reassuring gesture, and looked at the furious Gu Yang.

A fire also rose in his heart. This bastard had been constantly provoking him, claiming over and over that he would beat him into a meat patty. Even a clay figurine has a temper, and Long Chen had long wanted to beat him up; the only issue was that he was afraid he couldn't win.

Now that he had advanced to the Tenth Heavenly Layer of Blood Condensation and had the Bone Blade in hand, he no longer had any reservations and slashed down towards Gu Yang.

"Open!"

Gu Yang shouted loudly, runes lighting up all over his body, with even more dense runes covering his fist, and he punched towards the Bone Blade.

"Boom!"

The world shook violently, and a deafening explosion rang out. This strike between the two was surprisingly evenly matched.

Long Chen's Bone Blade was deflected outward by the force of Gu Yang's punch. Long Chen took a step forward, used that momentum, spun around, and the Bone Blade slashed in a huge arc, cutting towards Gu Yang's waist.

Although Gu Yang had blocked Long Chen's strike with his punch, he didn't have it easy. Affected by the recoil force, his body retreated a step.

This shocked Gu Yang; the power of Long Chen's strike was actually stronger than Tang Waner's Wind Blade.

But before he could even be shocked, Long Chen's Bone Blade was already slashing towards his waist from an extremely tricky angle.

Gu Yang was startled and hurriedly parried, but unfortunately, Long Chen's angle was extremely strange, making his parry very awkward and making it impossible for him to use his full strength.

As a result, he suffered a huge loss from that one strike and was sent flying directly. It wasn't that his strength wasn't powerful enough, but that Long Chen's strike was too bizarre.

While in mid-air, Gu Yang tried his best to stabilize his body. He was also very formidable and experienced in battle, so he stabilized himself with the fastest speed; as long as his toes touched the ground, he could launch an attack again.

Unfortunately, just as his feet were about to touch the ground, Long Chen's Bone Blade, like a ghostly weapon, slashed down fiercely.

Gu Yang was both shocked and angry. Long Chen's three attacks hadn't given him a single moment to breathe, keeping him constantly on the back foot.

"Boom!"

Although he blocked Long Chen's strike, he immediately lost his balance and went tumbling along the ground, flying more than a dozen zhang before barely stopping, looking extremely disheveled.

For a moment, the entire scene was silent. No one was unaware of Gu Yang's combat power; he had long been hailed as the number one person of the new generation in the branch courtyard.

Yet, a person like that couldn't even survive three moves under Long Chen, and was even beaten into a rolling mess.

People felt their brains couldn't keep up, and the person beating him without any ability to fight back was actually the person with the lowest cultivation in the branch courtyard.

Long Chen lazily carried his Bone Blade on his shoulder and sneered at Gu Yang: "You have repeatedly said that as long as I stood in your way, you would beat me into a meat patty. Now, I deeply doubt that statement of yours."

Long Chen spoke very calmly, without any anger, and didn't utter a single swear word, but this made Gu Yang even angrier than a hard slap to the face.

In Gu Yang's eyes, Long Chen had always been a small fry, never worth his attention. Yet, being humiliated by a small fry now made his fury soar to the heavens.

He had just been careless for a moment, which was why he was forced into a flustered state. Now, the opponent was using his mistake to humiliate him, which he could not endure.

"Go to hell!"

Gu Yang roared, stomped his foot on the ground, and shot towards Long Chen like an arrow released from a bow, throwing a punch.

A trace of mockery appeared on Long Chen's face. He swung his Bone Blade, not even looking at Gu Yang's fist, and slashed the Bone Blade directly towards Gu Yang's bald head.

No matter how long an arm is, how could it be longer than a Bone Blade? Long Chen couldn't be bothered to trade blows with him; compared to his fist, Long Chen wanted to test the hardness of his bald head more.

Seeing that Long Chen ignored his attack and was slashing directly at his head, Gu Yang was startled and hurriedly parried.

Unfortunately, it was done in haste, and he couldn't exert his full strength. He was pushed back by Long Chen's blade again, and just as he was about to stabilize his body, Long Chen had already spun around and slashed out with another blade.

As a result, Gu Yang tragically got sent flying again. Before his feet could land, Long Chen's follow-up blade slashed down, sending him flying and rolling far away.

Except for the first move being slightly different, the following two moves were basically identical, even the angle of the blade and the distance of the attack were exactly the same.

What was most jaw-dropping was that Gu Yang's rolling posture was just like a replay of the last time, not a bit different.

Long Chen lazily carried his Bone Blade on his shoulder and sneered at Gu Yang: "You have repeatedly said that as long as I stood in your way, you would beat me into a meat patty. Now, I deeply doubt that statement of yours."

The same action, the same expression, the same lines, made Gu Yang, who had just climbed up from the ground, turn alternately blue and white, his eyes filled with a ferocious look.

"Long Chen, you actually dare to humiliate me?"

Long Chen couldn't help but laugh up at the sky: "Hahaha, so what if I humiliate you? Don't you often like to humiliate others? What? Can't take it when someone humiliates you once? You really are a strange flower. Does just because you have a bald head mean you don't allow others to call you a baldy? Whatever goes around comes around. Since you like to humiliate others, you should be prepared to be humiliated by others."

Long Chen was very unimpressed by geniuses like Gu Yang who were spoiled by their Families, as if they were born emperors and others could only grovel before them and let them be humiliated.

And these geniuses treated humiliating others as a part of life, having formed a habit of it, yet when others humiliated them, it was as if they had committed a heinous crime.

"Long Chen, you have angered me." Gu Yang narrowed his eyes, his face full of ferocity, and said with killing intent.

"So what? If you can't get over it, look over there. Behind Elder Sun, there is a large bell. You can just bang your head against it and die. Once dead, everything is over, and you can even make a sound, which can be considered dying in a fitting place." Long Chen pointed upwards and said.

Gu Yang could no longer endure it; he felt his lungs were about to explode with anger. He let out a roar, and the runes all over his body floated and actually began to tremble incessantly.

What was shocking was that those runes of his seemed to have come alive, actually moving slowly on his skin.

"He can actually trigger Ancestral Blood Enhancement!"

Tang Waner and Ye Zhiqiu were shocked; they never imagined that Gu Yang had cultivated the Ancestral Runes to this extent.

Gu Yang not only had Awakening of the Ancestral Runes and fully adapted to the power of the Ancestral Runes, but he could also use his perfect compatibility with the Ancestral Runes to activate Ancestral Blood Enhancement.

The so-called Ancestral Blood Enhancement was a secret technique that allowed people who possessed an ancestral Bloodline to burn a portion of their essence blood to increase their combat power by several times.

"So Gu Yang is actually this terrifying."

Tang Waner and Ye Zhiqiu looked at each other, both seeing disbelief in the other's eyes.

"Long Chen, I want you to die!"

Runes surged all over his body, almost covering every inch of Gu Yang's skin. From afar, it looked as if he was covered in countless insects, making people feel a shiver.

At this moment, the aura on Gu Yang's body surged wildly, and even those Senior Brother-level experts watching from afar felt the pressure.

"This Gu Yang is simply a monster." An enforcer looked at Gu Yang and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Although they had also once been newcomers, among the Core Disciples of their generation, there was absolutely no one this terrifying.

In that generation, there wasn't even a single Genius with an Awakening of the Ancestral Runes, let alone a monster as terrifying as Gu Yang.

Now everyone in the arena had their eyes on these two. Long Chen's appearance had caused a heaven-shaking reversal in the grand competition.

However, now that Gu Yang had finally brought out his strongest combat power, it was unknown what the final outcome would be.

"Long Chen, we're coming to help you!"

At this moment, Tang Waner and Ye Zhiqiu came to Long Chen's side, set up their stances, and prepared to fight alongside Long Chen.

Because Tang Waner and Ye Zhiqiu knew best just how terrifying Gu Yang was; only with the three of them together would there be a chance of winning.

"No need. Some things are more satisfying to do with your own hands, for example—revenge." Long Chen looked at Tang Waner and smiled slightly.

Looking at Long Chen's sincere gaze, Tang Waner immediately understood Long Chen's heart; he wanted to take revenge for everyone in the Heaven and Earth Society, and to take back all the humiliation everyone had endured.

Looking at Long Chen's resolute gaze, although she was still a bit worried, she finally nodded and slowly retreated a few steps.

She knew that although Long Chen was usually happy-go-lucky and didn't have a shred of arrogance, that was because he had buried his pride deep in his bones.

A man can lack arrogance, but he must have pride. Long Chen was exactly like this; the despicable actions of Gu Yang, Qi Xin, and Lei Qianshang had thoroughly enraged Long Chen.

Although Long Chen hadn't said it to anyone, he had already kept this grudge in his heart, so what he wanted to do now was—revenge.

Ye Zhiqiu took one look at Long Chen and also slowly retreated, leaving only Long Chen alone to face Gu Yang.

Looking at that figure which wasn't tall but was filled with an overbearing aura that looked down upon the world, no one between heaven and earth could stop it. That was pride originating from his bones, not even placing heaven and earth in his eyes, breaking through the entire firmament.

"Hum!"

The space trembled, and the runes on Gu Yang's body finally stopped moving, but now the aura on his body had risen to a terrifying Realm.

"Long Chen, I said I would smash you into a meat patty, and I definitely will."

After the Ancestral Blood Enhancement, Gu Yang's voice was hoarse, like metal scraping, but his face was completely ferocious, making people fearful.

"Die!"

Gu Yang roared, stomped on the ground, and the whole earth trembled as he rushed towards Long Chen.
