Chapter 54

It was already noon, and although it was August, the autumn sun was still scorching.

In a shaded path to the southeast of Baiyang Town, a group of people was advancing. There were several tall but crude carts loaded with luggage, and most of the group were elderly, women, and children, all with grim expressions.

"Mom, why are we leaving Baiyang Town like this?"

"I don't want to go to Grandma's house, waa..."

A few children were playing around, but under the adults' urging, they had to move forward reluctantly.

Suddenly, the group stopped. At the front, two middle-aged men with bloodshot eyes turned around. They were Yang Qingxuan and Yang Yuntian.

Behind them were Yang Wu, Yang Lingyue, and Yang Lingqing.

They had just left Baiyang Town, and because they were still in conflict with the Bai family, they had not made much noise.

Yang Qingxuan and Yang Yuntian looked at the three younger members, gritted their teeth, and said, "Listen, if you can't protect the bloodline of the Yang family, we won't let you off even in death!"

At this moment, Yang Wu was still holding it together, but Yang Lingyue and Yang Lingqing were already sobbing uncontrollably.

The two women looked at their fathers, whose eyes were bloodshot, and remembered their words, knowing that they were about to go to their deaths.

Thinking of the future of the Yang family and the responsibilities on their shoulders, their hearts were filled with bitterness and委屈.

From a young age, they had lived carefree lives in the Yang family, but they never expected to face such a great disaster today, forcing the three young people to lead the elderly, women, and children to escape.

All the strong members of the Yang family had to deal with the enemy, and the outcome was likely to be fatal. Such a tragic parting was too much for the two younger members who knew the truth to bear.

Although Yang Qingxuan did not say it, the women in the Yang family had already heard about the conflict with the Bai family. Thinking of the severe consequences, several of them began to sob quietly, and soon a large number of them were crying.

"Stop crying! If you cry again, I'll kill you!"

Seeing the gloomy atmosphere, Yang Yuntian's face turned iron-gray as he scanned the surroundings. Although Yang Yuntian was not very powerful, his presence was intimidating, and the women and children were very afraid of him. Seeing him angry, they were too scared to cry, but they all knew that the Yang family was doomed this time.

Compared to the Bai family, the original first power in Baiyang Town, they were still one step behind.

Seeing that the others had quieted down, Yang Qingxuan said calmly, "Don't think too much. Moving you out of Baiyang Town is just to keep you safe and let us fight more confidently. It doesn't mean the Yang family has lost! When we defeat those madmen, we'll come find you!"

"This operation will be under the command of Yang Wu and the others. If anyone disobeys orders and affects the journey, don't blame me, Yang Qingxuan! I won't say more. Second brother, let's go!"

After giving his instructions, Yang Qingxuan looked at Yang Wu and the others, nodded to them, and said softly, "Wu, Yue, Qing, the future of the Yang family depends on you. I believe you can handle it because you are the descendants of the Yang family. None of our descendants are cowards!"

Yang Wu nodded with tears in his eyes and said, "Father, don't worry. I'll do everything to complete this task, even if it costs my life. But you must promise me to come back alive..."

"Yes, Father, I can't lose you..."

Yang Lingyue's expression was also grim.

Yang Lingqing looked at Yang Yuntian and then at Yang Qingxuan. Although she was sad, her eyes were still full of confidence. She believed that a certain person would never let the Yang family suffer such a disaster.

Although she had little confidence in her heart, she still firmly believed. That young man had given her many surprises and accomplished many things she thought Long Chen could never do.

Before leaving, Yang Qingxuan suddenly said to Yang Wu, "If Long Chen returns, follow his orders. But if he acts rashly, you must stop him, even if it costs your life!"

Without waiting for Yang Wu to react, Yang Qingxuan and Yang Yuntian quickly disappeared from the group's sight. Yang Wu, Yang Lingyue, and Yang Lingqing looked at each other with bitter expressions, feeling very frightened and helpless.

"Let's go. We have to live on."

With a determined look, Yang Wu gritted his teeth and led the group forward. Yang Lingyue and Yang Lingqing, despite their helplessness and pain, had to grit their teeth and persevere.

"Please, heaven, protect the Yang family, protect my grandfather, protect my father and uncle, and protect... him..."

Under the leadership of the three younger members, the Yang family's convoy moved forward in an orderly manner. At this moment, two black figures leaped down from the trees, exchanged glances, and sneered.

"The Yang family actually let these young ones escape like this. The Bai family had us guard Baiyang Town, and it turns out it was for this. Let's go back and tell the Bai family. When Bai Zhanlong and the others catch up, these young ones will die cleanly!"

"I heard that the Bai family's head gave the only two high-level healing medicines to Bai Shichen and Bai Shiji. Bai Shichen's injuries from last time have finally healed, and he's about to break through to the eighth level of the Dragon Vein Realm. Bai Shiji, who was severely injured, has also recovered..."

"Did you see that? Yang Lingqing is in that group. Young Master Bai Shichen seems to have a thing for her. Last time, his testicles were burst, but now they're fixed. Maybe when we bring the news back, his testicles will come in handy..."

"I wonder if they'll be useful..."

...

Looking at Yang Xueqing, Long Chen forcibly suppressed his overwhelming anger. He could only try to calm his breath, as only then could he unleash his full combat power.

At this moment, he and the old ancestor of the Yang family were directly facing Bai Sheng and Bai Li, who had stood up. Both sides were approaching each other in the valley.

"Chen, since they kidnapped Xueqing but didn't harm her, and now they're not using her life to threaten us, why is that?"

Long Chen had also thought about this. He smiled and said, "I think they're too confident in their strength. My mother will only be useful if they lose. But at this close distance, will I let you have a chance?"

"Chen, do you have any problems dealing with Bai Li?"

Seeing the old man approaching with a fierce gaze, clearly a veteran of countless battles, Bai Li, the younger brother of the Bai family's head, Long Chen's hatred and anger found an outlet. Without a word, he charged directly at Bai Li!

Seeing Long Chen make the first move, the tense atmosphere immediately became intense. Bai Li was forced back by Long Chen, and at this moment, the old ancestor of the Yang family and Bai Sheng, who had been rivals for a lifetime, finally clashed again, fighting fiercely!

After a light exchange with Bai Li, Long Chen was completely suppressed by the other's surging true qi, and he was forced to retreat. Seeing Long Chen so easily pushed back, Bai Li was surprised and then laughed maniacally, "At your level, you think you can match me? What a delusion. To prevent you from continuing to deceive others and thinking you're a genius, I'll have to take your head today!"

Seeing Long Chen easily pushed back, the old ancestor of the Yang family was also unsure. At this moment, Long Chen, who had been forced back by Bai Li, suddenly looked up and sneered, "Just a lucky punch, nothing to be proud of. It seems the Bai family is only at the level of commoners. As for the head, whoever's head is cut off today will be the dog's head!"

While speaking, Long Chen began to transform into his Dragon Soul form. The previous transformation at the Yang family had already shocked Bai Sheng and Bai Li, and now, seeing the blood-red dragon scales and bone spurs on Long Chen's body up close, the Bai family's head was reminded of his son's tragic death, making him extremely angry!

"Second brother, remember this time, avenge my son!"

Seeing Long Chen's blood-red scales, Bai Li was first shocked, then excited, and licked his lips, saying, "So you really are a Beast Warrior. But even the strongest Beast Warrior can only boost you one level. I've broken through to the Heavenly Dragon Vein, a strength you can't imagine..."

"Don't worry, big brother, this kid is easy for me. Although he's in a Beast Soul transformation, I can see that it's not pure. I can't even tell what beast he's fused with. He's not even as strong as a true Beast Warrior. How could I let him escape?"

Although he was still puzzled by Long Chen's appearance, the old ancestor of the Yang family was already fighting Bai Sheng fiercely. Bai Li sneered and moved his feet, instantly rushing at Long Chen like a storm. When he revealed his fingers, a storm of energy surged at Long Chen, forming a huge, liquid-like vortex that seemed to be the Netherworld, descending upon Long Chen!

"Dragon Vein Realm Ninth Level, little dog, this is a realm you can't imagine!"

"Netherworld Cave Finger, Nine Turns! Turn, turn, turn!"

The Nine Turns of the Netherworld Cave Finger was a move Long Chen was very familiar with. He had seen Bai Shichen and Bai Zhanxiong use it. Now, Bai Li's version was several times more powerful than Bai Zhanxiong's, but clearly, Long Chen was no longer the same as when he faced Bai Zhanxiong. Seeing the incoming attack, he remained calm.

Because the endless power and the tenfold blood-red true qi in his body gave him infinite confidence!

After the Seventh Level of the Dragon Vein Realm, this was the first time Long Chen faced a strong opponent like Bai Li, who could make him unleash his full combat power and fight to the death!

"I once used the Great Profound Dragon Seal to break Bai Zhanxiong's Nine Turns of the Netherworld Cave Finger. This time, I'll use the Azure Dragon Seal to break your Nine Turns, to show how much I've improved..."
