Chapter 21

In the bustling market of the martial arts, the young girl from the Yang family could only be Yang Lingqing.

Yang Lingqing was actually very kind to Long Chen, and Long Chen treated her like a real younger cousin. Thinking that she might be bullied, Long Chen didn’t hesitate and headed straight toward the source of the earlier noise.

The earlier noise seemed to indicate that Yang Lingqing had even used the Meteor Fist. The younger generations of the Bai and Yang families usually didn’t have conflicts, so for Yang Lingqing to use the Meteor Fist, it meant she was indeed very angry.

From a distance, Long Chen saw a large crowd gathered ahead. There were quite a few strong individuals, but no one dared to intervene. After all, even if they had the strength, how could they dare to get involved in a conflict between the younger generations of the Bai and Yang families? Didn’t they fear attracting trouble?

Without caring about offending anyone, Long Chen pushed his way through the crowd. Indeed, Yang Lingqing was engaged in a fierce battle with a girl who had a fox-like charm. However, Yang Lingqing was at a disadvantage and was about to lose.

Beside Long Chen, two middle-aged men were talking. They seemed to be the owners of some of the shops.

"This Yang Lingqing from the Yang family does have good talent, but Bai Zixing from the Bai family is a bit older and has reached the sixth level of the Dragon Vein Realm, so she has a slight edge."

"Being one level lower, Yang Lingqing has held on for quite a while, which is already impressive."

"The Bai and Yang families have always been on good terms, so why are these two girls fighting?"

"I don’t know either. When I arrived, they were already fighting."

"It must be about the management rights. The Bai Yang Town is about to change hands..."

Without a word, Long Chen rushed into the scene. Just as he was about to intervene, Lingxi’s excited voice suddenly rang in his ear. She said, "Hey, did you see that young man? There’s a Dream Spirit Grass in his money pouch. It’s a mid-grade yellow-grade medicinal herb that can nourish the divine soul!"

As Long Chen ran, his gaze shifted to the young man, who was standing not far behind Bai Zixing.

"Is that Bai Shidong from the Bai family, another sixth-level Dragon Vein Realm practitioner?"

The thing he had longed for was actually on him. What a coincidence.

Even for the sake of the Dream Spirit Grass, Long Chen was determined to get involved today.

Long Chen’s actions immediately shocked everyone.

"That’s... the son of Yang Sanlang, who has been making a lot of noise these past few days. I heard he has already advanced to the fifth level of the Dragon Vein Realm. But he’s still a bit weaker than the two young practitioners from the Bai family."

"He seems to have defeated a sixth-level Dragon Vein Realm practitioner, Yang Lingyue, before."

"So what? I heard he only defeated Yang Lingyue through trickery, not by true strength."

The two middle-aged men watched Long Chen intently, eager to see what he would do next. After all, the opponents were two sixth-level Dragon Vein Realm practitioners, while he was only at the fifth level, yet he dared to charge in.

At that moment, Long Chen’s Starry Sky Battle Body and fifth-level true qi erupted. His true qi was only a few times weaker than his two sixth-level opponents, and the Starry Sky Battle Body could easily make up for this gap!

A faint starlight enveloped his body. Sensing the familiar starry aura, Yang Lingqing knew that Long Chen had finally arrived.

Her face was filled with sorrow and frustration, as the opponent had the strength to defeat her and was now just humiliating her.

Suddenly, she felt a powerful force pull her back, and Long Chen stepped in front of Bai Zixing. The charming and alluring Bai Zixing, who had been toying with Yang Lingqing, was startled and took a few steps back.

The two groups finally separated.

Yang Lingqing pouted and looked at Long Chen. Seeing that she was about to cry, Long Chen asked, "What happened?"

Yang Lingqing glared at Bai Zixing with hatred and gritted her teeth. "I don’t know why, but as soon as she saw me, she started insulting me. I couldn’t take it anymore and forgot Grandfather’s warning..."

Even someone as gentle as Yang Lingqing couldn’t bear it, so Bai Zixing’s words must have been extremely harsh.

"She insulted you? My little sister isn’t someone to be insulted..."

Long Chen’s gaze turned extremely cold as he looked at the opponent.

"What are you talking about, Lingqing? I was just talking to you, and you attacked me. I was about to ask you why, but you accuse me of insulting you?"

Long Chen’s cold gaze made the girl somewhat afraid, but remembering his strength, she became bold and acted innocent.

Long Chen despised such women who dared to act but wouldn’t admit it. They looked innocent on the surface but were malicious inside, and they would act pitiful to avoid taking responsibility for their actions.

The situation was already tense, and the matter should have ended, but Long Chen wanted the Dream Spirit Grass. Now that he had an excuse, he wouldn’t let them off.

He patted Yang Lingqing’s shoulder and said, "Lingqing, I’ve been your cousin for so many years, but I’ve never stood up for you. Watch me today."

Everyone could tell what Long Chen meant and looked at him as if he were a fool.

Yang Lingqing quickly grabbed his arm and tried to stop him. "No, let’s just call it a day. Not to mention Grandfather’s warning about not conflicting with the Bai family, they have two sixth-level Dragon Vein Realm practitioners, and we..."

Long Chen smiled and gently pushed Yang Lingqing’s hand away. The determination in his eyes made her slightly dazed, and by then, Long Chen was already in the middle of the scene.

Seeing Long Chen’s fearless attitude, the crowd began to chatter and mock him.

The two middle-aged men were slightly shocked and said, "This kid has some courage, but he’s a bit impulsive."

"True, a brave but foolish person usually ends up in a tragic situation. Knowing how to endure and rise again is the true way."

Bai Zixing and Bai Shidong, seeing that Long Chen wasn’t backing down, sneered coldly. Just as they were about to mock him, Long Chen didn’t give them the chance. As soon as he stepped out, he glared and kicked the ground, launching himself toward them. It seemed he intended to take on both of them at once!

The crowd burst into a commotion. Long Chen’s actions were indeed puzzling, even to the two middle-aged men, who exchanged bewildered looks.

"This kid... he’s really a peculiar one. His true qi is insufficient, but his courage is not small..."

Bai Zixing and Bai Shidong exchanged a glance, both seeing the mockery in each other’s eyes. Bai Zixing, who was always competitive, stepped forward to block Long Chen.

By then, Long Chen had already rushed to her. A powerful wind gathered on his fingers, forming a rapid whirlwind. The sound of the true qi moving made Bai Zixing frown!

She laughed coldly, her true qi erupting. With the support of her powerful true qi, she formed a fist and struck before Long Chen could reach her, sending a powerful aura toward him. In that aura, there were several faint fist imprints.

"Five Directions True Demon Fist!"

Long Chen was about to face five fist imprints, but he sneered and struck with his fingers, which he had prepared. A powerful whirlwind, with a devastating force, immediately shot toward Bai Zixing!

"Nine Finger Wind Demon!"

"One Finger Stabilize!"

"Two Fingers Break!"

"Three Fingers Cycle!"

"Four Fingers Shatter!"

To everyone’s shock, Long Chen’s powerful burst of energy forced Bai Zixing to retreat step by step. Long Chen struck finger by finger, and the Five Directions True Demon Fist imprints exploded and disappeared one by one!

Despite her desperate efforts to mobilize all her true qi, Bai Zixing was still shaken by Long Chen’s attack, her face turning pale, and her eyes trembling as she looked at Long Chen’s fierce appearance.

Long Chen’s relentless attacks and the crazy momentum made everyone in the scene gasp in shock, especially Yang Lingqing, who knew that Long Chen used to practice the Meteor Fist.

"When did he learn the Nine Finger Wind Demon? And he uses it more terrifyingly than Sister Lingyue? How many fingers can he strike?"

Yang Lingqing’s beautiful eyes were fixed on Long Chen. Since Long Chen had saved her, she now saw him as her main support. Seeing his determined efforts, she finally understood what he meant earlier.

"Lingqing, I’ve been your cousin for so many years, but I’ve never stood up for you. Watch me today."

This sentence echoed in Yang Lingqing’s mind.

Seeing Long Chen use the Nine Finger Wind Demon continuously, making Bai Zixing pale, Yang Lingqing felt a great sense of relief. Her eyes were slightly red, and she had long considered Long Chen as her true brother. The old Yang Zhan would never have fought so hard for her.

However, Long Chen’s determination to fight for her was partly due to his desire to obtain the Dream Spirit Grass.

At that moment, Long Chen roared and struck another finger like a storm!

"Eight Fingers Shatter the Universe!"

Bai Zixing quickly used her arms to protect herself, but the violent force hit her arms, tearing her sleeves into pieces, and she let out a painful cry, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

As Bai Zixing fell before Long Chen, Bai Shidong, who was standing less than a meter behind her, finally reacted. Seeing the scene, he was initially incredulous, then filled with overwhelming anger.

He was about to burst with true qi and fight to the death with Long Chen, but Long Chen’s target was actually him. After knocking down Bai Zixing, Long Chen didn’t pause and struck with a finger, bringing a powerful whirlwind that instantly appeared before Bai Shidong, aiming for his forehead. If hit, Bai Shidong’s brain would be shattered!

"Nine Fingers Stabilize the World!"

Long Chen’s move immediately caused a commotion. Anyone with clear eyes could see that Bai Shidong wouldn’t be able to avoid this sudden attack.

Bai Shidong himself knew that Long Chen’s attack was too sudden. He desperately burst with true qi and tried to dodge, but it was too late!

The shadow of death gradually enveloped him. Seeing the finger that stabbed like a sword, Bai Shidong felt powerless, his legs weak, and a cold sweat broke out in his groin. He had lost control...

Bai Shidong’s groin was wet, but the crowd didn’t mock him. In the face of death, everyone had the right to lose control...

However, killing Bai Shidong would inevitably cause a major upheaval in Bai Yang Town. The onlookers, thinking of the consequences, were all dry-mouthed.

"What is this guy thinking?"
