Chapter 59

Hearing what Yang Xueqing said, the old ancestor of the Yang family immediately understood the meaning behind her words.

He originally intended to negotiate with the Bai family, but it was clear that both sides could not reach a mutually satisfactory agreement. Yang Xueqing, seeing that her actions had plunged her family into such a predicament, and feeling guilty towards Long Chen, naturally felt distressed, which led to her idea of sacrificing herself.

"Xueqing! Stop right there! I have a way to deal with them, don't do something foolish and make things worse!"

The old ancestor of the Yang family roared, causing Yang Xueqing to pause slightly.

This made Bai Sheng and Bai Li, who had been relying on her as their lifeline, breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, Yang Xueqing smiled bitterly.

"Father, don't try to fool me anymore. I know exactly what the Yang family has. Today, the two old dogs from the Bai family are using me to threaten you. Once I'm dead, everything they want will be in vain..."

Yang Xueqing's eyes showed a bitter expression as she looked at Long Chen one last time. She had only wanted to take a good look at her son before she died, but Long Chen's strange actions at this moment made her pause in confusion.

At this moment, Bai Sheng and Bai Li, along with the old ancestor of the Yang family, all looked at Long Chen.

Long Chen turned and approached the body of Xueyuanzi, staring at the corpse before him.

Long Chen knew that if things continued like this, it would not end well for the Yang family. So he had only one chance!

"Xueyuanzi... Lingxi told me not to use the Blood-to-Qi technique easily, but this time it's a last resort. Besides, this old man is not a good person, so I won't be polite this time!"

A cold light flashed in his eyes as he looked at Xueyuanzi's corpse, and Long Chen suddenly felt an intense hunger in his stomach.

He knew that as long as he didn't attack the two from the Bai family, they wouldn't dare to harm Yang Xueqing first. After all, Yang Xueqing was still their lifeline. If she were injured, it would enrage Long Chen, and the ensuing battle would be disastrous for both sides!

During this time, he could refine Xueyuanzi's essence to further his cultivation!

Thinking of this, Long Chen took action again. Although he had previously decided not to use the Blood-to-Qi technique easily, this was a critical moment, and he had no choice but to do it.

As soon as he used the Blood-to-Qi technique, a bloody and murderous aura emanated from Long Chen. The eerie and terrifying sensation made Bai Sheng and the others draw a sharp breath!

They soon saw that countless droplets of blood on Xueyuanzi's skin seemed to have gained a life of their own, happily emerging from his body and quickly entering Long Chen's blood-red scales!

The Blood-to-Qi technique gradually absorbed all the essence from Xueyuanzi's body. Xueyuanzi was an existence that Long Chen could not match, the strongest person he had ever fought. His cultivation was far beyond the Ninth Level of the Dragon Vein Realm, reaching the Human Dan Realm. Therefore, his blood contained an enormous amount of power, dozens of times more than Bai Zhanxiong's!

During the process of Blood-to-Qi, a large amount of waste was expelled from Long Chen's body, and only the purest blood energy was refined and absorbed, transforming into blood-red true qi and joining his dantian. The true qi in his dantian grew immensely, and the speed of this growth was very fast. The overwhelming power made Long Chen feel as if he was about to burst!

"The essence of the Human Dan Realm is indeed extraordinary!"

The massive amount of blood-red true qi surged wildly in Long Chen's dragon veins. Long Chen felt as if his body had turned into a nest of countless blood dragons, roaring and devouring the blood-red true qi.

When Xueyuanzi's essence was completely absorbed, and his body turned into a mummy, Long Chen's aura had become several times more bloody and heavy. The energy within him, like a raging sea, made him almost lose control of his body!

"With so much true qi, it's time to break through to the Eighth Level of the Dragon Vein Realm!"

Thinking of this, Long Chen immediately took action!

However, from Bai Sheng and Bai Li's perspective, Long Chen's actions were very foolish but also very bold!

At this moment, Bai Li was already injured. If Bai Li were not injured, Bai Sheng could have restrained the old ancestor of the Yang family and let Bai Li attack the meditating Long Chen. But now, Bai Li was injured, and they couldn't figure out whether Long Chen still had any fighting power, so the two brothers looked at each other, hesitant to take the risk.

"Brother, this brat was already terrifying, and now he's breaking through to the Eighth Level of the Dragon Vein Realm..."

"Don't worry, Brother. As long as this woman is in our hands, it doesn't matter how strong he is. Once the news reaches the Crimson Blood Holy Sect, the Yang family will be in deep trouble! We only need to get the Deren Fruit!"

Bai Sheng nodded.

The old ancestor of the Yang family did not expect Long Chen to break through to the Eighth Level of the Dragon Vein Realm at this moment, but fortunately, Bai Li and Bai Sheng did not dare to take the risk of attacking him. He felt a bit relieved and was excited to see Long Chen grow stronger.

However, at this moment, two sounds of breaking air came, and the old ancestor of the Yang family and the others saw that the newcomers were Yang Qingxuan and Yang Yuntian.

They had just sent off the younger members of the Yang family and had just arrived at the Great Wasteland Mountain. They didn't expect that in just a short time, the situation at the Great Wasteland Mountain had changed so drastically!

At this moment, Bai Sheng and the injured Bai Li were holding the pale-faced Yang Xueqing hostage. The Deren Fruit nearby was glowing with seven colors, and its branches and leaves were almost completely withered, indicating that it was nearly ripe. On one side, the old ancestor of the Yang family and the two from the Bai family were facing off, and Long Chen was sitting nearby, clearly meditating.

In front of him was a mummy, which no longer looked like its original form. So Yang Qingxuan and Yang Yuntian didn't know who it was. However, the situation was different from what they had expected.

"The battle has stopped, and Bai Li is injured. Could it be that Chen injured him and then broke through to the Eighth Level of the Dragon Vein Realm?"

Yang Qingxuan and Yang Yuntian thought this. They had come with a determination to fight to the death, ready to engage in battle upon arrival, but they didn't expect the battle to have already stopped.

Seeing Long Chen's current state, Yang Yuntian and Yang Qingxuan shook their heads.

"Bai Li is injured, which must be due to Father's actions. But it's good that Chen is fine. Now, the two of us can take over and let Chen escape with the Yang family's convoy!"

Thinking of this, Yang Qingxuan and Yang Yuntian immediately went to the old ancestor of the Yang family. The old ancestor of the Yang family's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly, "What are you doing here? Where are the others?"

Yang Qingxuan said in a low, urgent voice, "I've already had Wu and the others lead the young and the elderly to safety. We came up here to help Chen escape and lead the Yang family to a resurgence!"

The old ancestor of the Yang family nodded and then shook his head, saying calmly, "I would do the same, but you underestimate Chen..."

Yang Qingxuan and Yang Yuntian were immediately surprised and looked at the meditating Long Chen, unsure and asked, "Father, do you mean that Bai Li was injured by Chen?"

The old ancestor of the Yang family nodded and said, "Think of a way. Xueqing is still in their hands, and we need to get the Deren Fruit and escape safely, which is not easy."

Yang Qingxuan and Yang Yuntian were still in shock from Long Chen defeating Bai Li. Seeing the pale face of their sister, they were instantly filled with anger!

"Bai old man, release my sister immediately! You can state your conditions!"

Hearing Yang Qingxuan say the same thing, Bai Sheng sneered, "The Yang family's loyalty is truly touching, but if you don't do as I say, you'll taste the pain I've endured!"

Yang Qingxuan's face turned grim, and he asked, "What are your conditions?"

Bai Sheng smiled cruelly and said, "I already told your father. Two Deren Fruits. Once we reach the Divine Dan Realm, we'll return Yang Xueqing to you!"

Once they reach the Divine Dan Realm, the Yang family will be finished. Yang Qingxuan's face turned even grimmer upon hearing this.

"Still hesitating? Yang Cangqiong, I don't have time to waste. If you don't agree, it will be a lose-lose situation! I've already lost two sons, and I'm ready to go all out today!"

Bai Sheng was relentless, but the three from the Yang family had no way to counter. Meanwhile, Long Chen, who was breaking through to the Eighth Level of the Dragon Vein Realm, was almost forgotten by everyone.

Only Yang Xueqing's gaze remained on him.

She had originally wanted to die immediately, but seeing Long Chen breaking through to the Eighth Level of the Dragon Vein Realm, she still held a glimmer of hope!

At this moment, Yang Qingxuan whispered to the old ancestor of the Yang family, "Father, this isn't a solution. Bai Li is already injured. If we delay, and he recovers, we won't have anyone to stop him..."

Just as Yang Qingxuan and Yang Yuntian were wavering, and Yang Xueqing was gradually losing hope, a thunderous dragon roar suddenly echoed!

A powerful aura burst forth, and Yang Qingxuan and Yang Yuntian could hardly stand steady in the aura. At this moment, everyone was shocked to see that Long Chen, who had just started breaking through to the Eighth Level of the Dragon Vein Realm, was now standing up!

His body was covered in blood-red dragon scales and sharp dragon bones, looking extremely fierce. More importantly, his aura was overwhelming. When Long Chen opened his eyes, the cold, blood-red pupils made everyone feel a chill!

Feeling the overwhelming power in his body, Long Chen smiled inwardly.

"My Eighth Level of the Dragon Vein Realm, after the Dragon Soul Transformation, is truly much stronger than their Eighth Level..."

The tenfold nature of true qi and the powerful dragon body after the Dragon Soul Transformation were the reasons for Long Chen's superiority over ordinary people!

To be precise, the two most powerful techniques Long Chen now possessed were not the Dragon Seal, but the Blood-to-Qi technique and the Dragon Soul Transformation. Both were derived from the mysterious essence and the Dragon Jade, highlighting their mystery!

Long Chen's gaze fell on Bai Li, who was holding Yang Xueqing hostage.

Seeing the overwhelming aura emanating from Long Chen, Bai Sheng and Bai Li felt their scalps tingle...

"Boy, I know you've become stronger, but don't move, or I can't guarantee Yang Xueqing's safety..."

As Long Chen approached, Bai Li's voice began to tremble.

Bai Sheng, seeing the perfect killing dragon body after Long Chen's Dragon Soul Transformation, also felt his eyes tremble.

"Two old dogs..."

Under the influence of hatred, Long Chen seemed like a super ancient beast, approaching the two step by step. When all his anger reached its peak, Long Chen's figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, Bai Li was shocked to feel a slight chill on his back...

A piercing sound, the sound of a bone spike piercing the heart.
