Chapter 799: The Might of the Domain
Feng Qing paused, then he continued, “We, the Divine Wind Faction, have come here today to take away the brat who snatched away the Wind clan’s treasure. Brother Bai and Brother Lei, for the sake of the relationship between the Divine Wind and Thunder Demon Factions, I hope that will not stop us. I, Feng Qing, thank you two for your cooperation.”
After Feng Qing spoke, he did not intend to seek Bai Lan and Lei Ji’s agreement. He was about to detain Long Chen personally. Being a Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator, capturing Long Chen would be an easy feat.
Feng Qing had not mentioned Long Chen and his relationship with the Thunder and Demon clans at all, and even said that Long Chen had taken something that belonged to the Divine Wind Faction. If that was the case, Bai Lan and Lei Ji did not have any right to object. There was no need to start a conflict between two major factions over a minor character, and definitely not fight to the death. It was not worth it.
When the crowd heard what Feng Qing said, they looked at each other and dared not make a sound.
Long Chen had only just arrived when Feng Qing made his statement. Before Feng Qing acted, Long Chen burst into laughter. He even bent over with laughter, not giving Feng Qing any face. The Wind clansmen looked at each other. Was Long Chen not afraid of death?
Feng Zhilin had told Feng Qing about what had happened with the Martial God Tombstone and the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance. Feng Qing was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Feng Zhilin was his most trusted granddaughter, and she was much more talented than the common person. No one had ever heard of Long Chen, yet she lost to him twice during two amazing opportunities to retrieve two crucial treasures. She had lost to a nameless character who was far weaker than she was.
When he heard this, Feng Qing, who had never scolded Feng Zhilin before, scolded her harshly!
It was a huge opportunity for their clan to rise, yet the idiotic Feng Zhilin had basically given it away to someone else. How could Feng Qing not feel hatred or anger? He summoned the whole clan to comb through the whole Metal District in search of Long Chen, but in the end, they learned that Long Chen had come to Heavenly Wood City. Heavenly Wood City was the Thunder Demon Faction’s main base, so Feng Qing had to storm the place together with the Divine clan.
They had spent a lot of time traveling here.
“Why are you laughing, brat?” Feng Qing stopped and carefully studied the terrible brat. There was a cold flash in his eyes. He had to admit that this unknown minor character was the most frustrating person he had dealt with in his life, as well as the person he hated most.He was only at the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage, which was nothing to Feng Qing. He could kill Long Chen at any time, so why was the brat laughing?
Long Chen stopped for a breath of air. Everyone watched as he looked at Feng Qing calmly and said, “‘Finders keepers’ is the law that applies to all treasures in this world. The Martial God Tombstone and the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance didn’t have owners before they became mine. I fought with Feng Zhilin for them, and she was weaker than me, so she lost. I won both treasures, so they belong to me. Patriarch of the Wind clan, you are a proud, famous figure, and you are also someone I worship. I can’t believe you would say such shameless things, claiming my treasures belong to the Wind clan. I have seen your true face now, and I can only laugh. How shameful … According to your logic, all the treasures in the Ancient Graveyard belong to the Wind clan, and anyone who retrieves them has taken something that belongs to the Wind clan, right?”
After Long Chen spoke, he started to laugh even harder.
Feng Qing’s expression darkened even more. It was true. Feng Qing’s demands were indeed shameless, but who would dare call him out on this? Did they want to die?
But Long Chen was just a strange person. He was indeed bold enough to say it out loud. What could Feng Qing do about it?
After the crowd heard Long Chen, they started to whisper among themselves. Feng Qing’s face darkened. He gently stroked his beard, then he said, “Brat, do not misinterpret my intentions. The Wind clan found the Martial God Tombstone and the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance first. You snatched them away after that. You’re just a nameless character, and yet you dare snatch away something that belongs to the Wind clan. If this gets out, won’t the Wind clan lose face? If you want to live, hand them over to me now. I will give face to the two patriarchs and leave you with your life. If you still remain misguided, do not blame me for taking your life here!”
Feng Qing was clearly bullying Long Chen because the latter did not come from a powerful background.
When he threatened Long Chen, he secretly released his domain, wrapping Long Chen in it. A huge force pressed on Long Chen’s body, and Long Chen had a feeling that if he did not agree, Feng Qing would use the power of his domain to kill him!
Long Chen could sense that the domain was powerful. Although it was not as powerful as the domain in the Seven Star Tomb, which made it so Long Chen could not even move, it was terrifying enough.
Feng Qing quietly covered Long Chen with his domain as they spoke, controlling it with his mind. A strong force flowed towards Long Chen, making him feel like he was suffocating, as if countless mountains were pressing on his body. He was thankful for having cultivated the Seven Star Body, or his tendons and muscles would have collapsed.
Long Chen’s expression turned into a grimace.
Despite the domain’s pressure acting on him from all directions, trying to squash him, he did not back down at all.
Feng Qing was publicly attacking Long Chen in front of everyone.
There was a flash of anger in Bai Lan and Lei Ji’s eyes. They saw that negotiations were impossible, so they were about to attack. To their surprise, Long Chen waved at them and said, “Wait.”
Clearly, Long Chen wanted to test out Feng Qing’s domain. Feng Qing and Lei Ji were only at the First Heavenly Martial Stage, so their domains were the weakest types. Although Feng Qing had used all his strength and Long Chen felt an all-encompassing pressure squashing his body, the domain did not knock him down, despite it trying to slow him down and hurt him!
When the crowd saw that Long Chen could stand in a stable manner by just relying on his own strength, everyone was shocked, especially Feng Qing. He knew how much strength he had applied, but he saw that Long Chen was gritting his teeth and enduring it. He was even giving Feng Qing a look of contempt.
The young ones are usually stubborn. In that case, let me break your femur. Feng Qing smirked to himself. Since Bai Lan and Lei Ji had not intervened, he could act even more brazenly. He increased his force and intensified his domain to its maximum!
Boom!
The surrounding tree branches were pressed downwards. Although the crowd was not touched by the domain, they could sense its suffocating power. They looked at Long Chen, but to their surprise, he was still standing despite bearing the full force of the domain. Although his veins were popping out of his skin and he was drenched in sweat, he was holding on. His knees were not even bent a little bit!
“How is that possible? Kneel!”
Feng Qing gasped in surprise and used up the last bit of his energy. The power of a domain was largely related to one’s Martial Soul. Feng Qing let his Martial Soul release its maximum amount of force, trying to make Long Chen kneel. It would be embarrassing if a Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator like him could not even make Long Chen bend his knees.
Crack!
Long Chen was standing on the ancient tree underneath Heavenly Wood City, and a chunk of the tree had sunken downwards, but it did not affect Long Chen at all. Although all the muscles in his body were taut and he could not move, he was looking at Feng Qing proudly. Forget about kneeling—Long Chen could still speak despite being pressed down by the powerful domain!
It was not as though Feng Qing’s domain was not powerful. The issue was that Long Chen’s Seven Star Body was an intermediate Emperor-tier body tempering technique. Even the patriarchs of the Divine and Demon clans did not have body tempering techniques as good as his. The Seven Star Body was unimaginably tough!
Feng Qing’s failed attempt to squash Long Chen with his domain was like a slap to his face!
“Patriarch of the Wind clan, could you add a little more force? This isn’t even enough to even scratch an itch. You’re the great patriarch of the Wind clan! How could you be this weak? Have you used up your strength in other places? I see that you’re not young anymore. You shouldn’t spend too much time on women and alcohol at your age, or you might die on a woman’s belly! Hahaha …”
Long Chen gave a long monologue and then burst into laughter while enduring the immense force.
He was the only one laughing. Every single member of the Divine Wind Faction had a darkened expression. As for the Thunder Demon Faction, when they understood Long Chen and saw Feng Qing’s face, which had turned purple-black, they burst into laughter.
The tsunami of laughter ignited flames of fury in Feng Qing’s heart!
He was the patriarch of a clan, yet he was being mocked publicly. His Heavenly Martial Realm domain, the achievement he was proudest of, was useless on Long Chen. Feng Qing was utterly humiliated today.
“Long Chen, die!”
At this point, Feng Qing had no choice but to resort to violence to regain some dignity. Long Chen had given him too severe of a blow.
Long Chen wanted to endure Feng Qing’s domain for a reason. He had a feeling that the suppressing force was the key to his breakthrough to the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage. He decided that he would let Bai Lan or Lei Ji train his body using their domains after the enemy faction left.
However, now that Feng Qing was charging, it was time for Bai Lan and Lei Ji to defend him.
Long Chen was not worried at all.
As expected, when Feng Qing attacked, Bai Lan and Lei Ji quietly disappeared in a flash and reappeared in front of Long Chen.
