As the Left Envoy of the Serpent Clan, Qu Chi held a position just below the clan leader, commanding great authority and respect. He had always been decisive and confident that, aside from the clan leader and a few reclusive elders, no one could rival him in strength.
However, after his defeat in the battle at Dragon City, not only did he lose to the Dragon Head, but he also struggled to quickly overcome the head of the Zhang Family during their confrontation. This left him feeling frustrated for a long time.
Thus, when he heard someone intruding into the camp late at night, his anger flared, and he was the first to charge forward.
Upon seeing that it was merely two boys around sixteen or seventeen years old, he felt a mix of rage and self-restraint. He decided to use only seventy to eighty percent of his strength, confident that he could easily eliminate them with a single strike.
This miscalculation nearly cost him his life.
Wang Long had nowhere to evade. Taking a deep breath, for the first time after breaking through the Eight Dragon Veins, he concentrated all his energy into his right palm and unleashed the most ferocious Thunderclap Sky Splitter!
Bang!
As their palms collided, an overwhelming force surged through both of their bodies. It felt as if they had been struck by a giant hammer; Wang Long immediately sank three inches into the ground.
Qu Chi, suspended in mid-air, was also severely affected by this unexpected force. It felt as though his blood flow had come to a halt, completely obstructed. A mouthful of blood surged up to his throat!
Yet for the sake of his pride, he forced himself to endure it. However, he was uncontrollably sent flying backward and stumbled three steps after hitting the ground.
"What an impressive young man!" Qu Chi exclaimed in shock. He had already endured a fierce battle against the head of the Zhang Family and suffered a blow from the Dragon Head at ninety percent strength. In addition, he had taken another hit from the Dragon Head at one hundred twenty percent strength while trying to rescue his clan leader. His internal injuries were quite severe.
At this moment, he could barely muster seventy percent of his usual strength.
Moreover, due to underestimating Wang Long, he had not unleashed all of his power.
Consequently, the turbulent energy within him surged uncontrollably again, making him feel dizzy and on the verge of collapse.
"I... I can't believe it! How could an ordinary boy from Dragon City possess such immense power! I refuse to believe it!"
Qu Chi suddenly shook off the guards who were trying to assist him, letting out a loud shout as he unleashed his ultimate technique. A Water Dragon surged forth, emitting a faint silver glow under the night sky, lunging toward Wang Long and his companion with fierce intent.
Wang Long understood that this was not a competition but a life-and-death struggle without mercy. He dared not show any signs of hesitation. Taking a deep breath, he gathered all of his Dragon Qi, channeling the immense inner strength from the Eight Dragon Veins into his palm.
A massive Thunderball, measuring ten feet in diameter, appeared in the night sky!
It resembled a blazing sun breaking free from the darkness, crackling with thunder and lightning within; it carried an aura of destruction as it descended upon the world.
The soldiers of the Serpent Clan surrounding them were left dumbfounded, their bodies trembling uncontrollably as they instinctively retreated.
Even Qu Chi's face turned pale, yet he was too exhausted to retreat and could only brace himself against the astonishing Thunderfire Sun unleashed by Wang Long. The two forces collided with a tremendous impact!
His figure was instantly engulfed by the sun.
Then came a deafening explosion as the Thunderball detonated, producing a sound akin to the creation of the world itself. The ground within a ten-foot radius cracked open, soil and stones were thrown into the air, and those soldiers who were slightly closer were immediately scorched by the residual light of the Thunderfire, screaming in agony.
Not only others but even Jiang Xue and Wang Long himself were taken aback by the power of this attack.
After a moment, there was a thud as Elder Qu Chi's lifeless body fell to the ground, charred black and emanating a foul odor.
He was dead.
For a moment, the Serpent Clan soldiers even forgot to capture Wang Long and his companion, staring blankly at Qu Chi's corpse before glancing at Wang Long in confusion, standing frozen in place.
"What are you doing! Capture this thief at once!"
Suddenly, the voice of the Serpent Clan Leader, filled with urgency and anger, broke through their stupor. The soldiers seemed to awaken from a dream, quickly shouting in anger as they surrounded Wang Long and his companion once more.
"Run!"
Wang Long wrapped his arms around Jiang Xue's slender waist and suddenly used the You Long Step. With the insights he had gained over the past few days and his rapidly increasing cultivation, he actually stepped onto the void!
Stepping on the Void!
This was the highest realm of You Long Step, akin to how the Dragon Head once stepped out beyond the city gate, able to walk freely in the air as if riding the wind!
At this moment, Wang Long had just begun to glimpse this path. No matter what, he could not reach the unfathomable realm of the Dragon Head, but he could manage a brief pause with this step.
He repeated this several times, stepping out in a series of three steps, already far ahead of the pursuing soldiers.
Under the moonlight, Wang Long carried Jiang Xue as they sped through the air, resembling celestial beings from Nine Heavens, gliding through the void with extraordinary grace.
Looking back, Wang Long saw that the pursuers were no longer in sight and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. He immediately felt an emptiness within him; this journey had surprisingly consumed more energy than their earlier battle.
He quickly brought Jiang Xue down to the ground and secretly adjusted his chaotic Dragon Qi.
"You... broke through to the Eighth Dragon Veins?!"
Jiang Xue asked in astonishment, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Wang Long opened his eyes and glanced at her. "Yes, but it was just a recent breakthrough; I'm still not very proficient... If it were the Dragon Head, he could probably glide effortlessly for hundreds of miles!"
"But he has the True Dragon Soul with him, so he wouldn't need to expend his own energy..."
He chuckled bitterly and shook his head.
Jiang Xue's expression dimmed as she quietly asked, "Earlier, did you hear my conversation with that... Serpent Clan Leader?!"
Wang Long sighed lightly. "Yes, I heard everything..."
"Well..."
"Jiang Xue, you are you, and your parents are your parents. I will not confuse you with their actions. I also hope that you do not always live for them..."
"But..."
"There is no 'but.' Although they gave you life, your life is still your own, and you have the right to make your own choices."
Jiang Xue smiled bitterly and glanced at Wang Long, saying, "Aren't you the same? You work so hard to cultivate and fight desperately for the sake of the Dragon Head, all to fulfill his expectations?"
Wang Long shook his head and replied, "Fate? No, this is the path I chose for myself. It is a responsibility, not something forced upon me by anyone."
Jiang Xue nodded and suddenly said, "By the way, did you hear her earlier... she mentioned that there might be a rebellion happening in Dragon City right now?"
Wang Long's expression darkened as he nodded. "Hmm... I didn't expect the Li Family Head to be so reckless, disregarding the safety of the entire Dragon City for his own selfish interests, colluding with outsiders to incite a coup!"
"I'm afraid he could launch this rebellion at any moment. We should return quickly to expose his plot and warn the Dragon Head and the elders to prepare in advance!"
