Chapter 85

"Got something to say?" At this moment, Long Chen actually dared to disturb, which made Huang Feiyang, who was sure of his advantage over him, somewhat displeased.

"This mission is a joint effort of the three of us, so I should have a share of the body of this Profound-stage beast, right?" Long Chen raised his head and said calmly.

"What kind of joke are you making!" Huang Feiyang's face darkened, and he laughed coldly. "This mission is just an evaluation for you. To think of getting a reward, Long Chen, you are far from qualified. Moreover, the soul and core of a Profound-stage beast are not something a kid like you can enjoy."

"Not giving it to me? Haha, Huang Feiyang, then you two go up the mountain. Without any benefits, I won't go to Mount Yan Dong."

Long Chen's words immediately stunned Yan Beitian. In his eyes, Long Chen was just a follower of these two adults, but this follower actually confronted Huang Feiyang and said such outrageous words?

"This..."

Yan Beitian looked at Huang Feiyang, who also stood up from his chair. His gaze was extremely cold, and a powerful aura swept toward Long Chen. However, just as Huang Feiyang was about to make a move, he was held back by Wen Ya.

Wen Ya gave Huang Feiyang a meaningful look, then looked at Long Chen coldly and said, "Long Chen, we are your evaluators for this mission. You must follow our orders. If you don't go to Mount Yan Dong, we will give you the lowest score, and you won't have anything to say to Elder Liu!"

If Long Chen didn't go to Mount Yan Dong, how could he set up a plan to kill Long Chen? So this was absolutely unacceptable. However, Long Chen definitely couldn't have a share of the Profound-stage beast's body. But if Long Chen stubbornly refused, he couldn't kill him on the spot, so Huang Feiyang frowned.

"Trying to scare me with this?" Long Chen remained calm, looking at the two of them coldly and not backing down. "If you don't agree, I won't do it!"

Long Chen was being unreasonable, which even made Wen Ya angry, let alone Huang Feiyang, whose eyes were already bloodshot!

Seeing Long Chen's proud demeanor, he was reminded of his brother who had been crippled by Long Chen. Thinking of Huang Xiang, who was still not fully recovered, the killing intent in Huang Feiyang's heart grew stronger!

"Endure! I can't kill him in public! Once we go to Mount Yan Dong, in a secluded place, he will have no place to die, Long Chen, you will die a terrible death!"

Thinking of this, Huang Feiyang forcibly restrained himself.

Yan Beitian watched their farce in a daze. When he saw that Huang Feiyang didn't immediately kill Long Chen, his opinion of Long Chen immediately improved. He thought to himself, "This little guy has a way to make this adult furious but not dare to kill him. He seems to have some power. To save my daughter, I need to mediate between the two..."

Thinking of this, Yan Beitian hurriedly said, "Young master, the lives of so many people in Yan Luo Town are in your hands. You must have a compassionate heart. Besides the body of the Profound-stage beast, you can have anything else!"

"I just want the body of the Profound-stage beast."

Long Chen smiled playfully, looking at Huang Feiyang's sullen face without any fear.

"Daydreaming!"

Huang Feiyang laughed coldly, then looked at Yan Beitian and said, "Town Chief Yan, don't say anything more. This kid just joined the Lingwu Family and doesn't know his place. I'll teach him a lesson, and he'll know how to behave. But if the family investigates, I hope you can say a good word for me."

Yan Beitian's face showed distress. "Sir, this isn't a good idea. As adults of the Lingwu Family, it's not good to hurt each other's feelings."

At this moment, Long Chen said, "Huang Feiyang, I won't beat around the bush. I need the body of the beast, not the soul or core. Give me the body, and I'll do the job perfectly. How about that?"

The most valuable parts of the beast's body were the core and soul, and the rest were basically useless. Huang Feiyang didn't expect Long Chen to want just the body, so he frowned in confusion. "What does this kid want the body for? Is there some secret?"

Wen Ya was equally puzzled, and even Yan Beitian knew that the body itself had no value, so he was also confused.

"Could it be that you're afraid I'll get a huge boost in cultivation from the beast's body and surpass you completely?"

Seeing the other party's hesitation, Long Chen sneered and said a sentence.

Huang Feiyang was indeed provoked. He looked at Long Chen suspiciously for a while before saying coldly, "With your mere eighth level Dragon Vein Realm, if you can reach the Small Success stage of the Human Core Realm with just a beast's body, I, Huang Feiyang, deserve to lose! But is that even possible?"

Wen Ya and Yan Beitian both laughed, because it was impossible.

"Town Chief Yan, give me the beast's body first. We'll extract the core and soul. If we fail the mission, I'll return the core and soul to you."

Yan Beitian hesitated slightly and then agreed. The reputation of the Lingwu Family was trustworthy.

Next, Huang Feiyang and the others went to extract the soul. Long Chen waited in the hall for a moment and then heard their arrival.

"These guys are so easy to deceive. Just a little provocation, and they gave you the beast's body. What a bunch of fools, hehe~"

"That's because I'm incredibly smart. Now that I'm at the peak of the eighth level Dragon Vein Realm, with the essence blood of this beast, I can definitely break through!"

Thinking of this, Huang Feiyang and the others reappeared. Under Huang Feiyang's cold gaze, Long Chen put the body of the Profound-stage beast into his spatial bag.

"A first-level Profound-stage beast, the Green-Eyed Snow Lion. From the wounds on the body, it seems it was killed by another beast..."

After receiving the beast's body, Long Chen said to Yan Beitian, "Give me half an hour to prepare some things!"

Time was already tight, and Long Chen was delaying, which made Yan Beitian anxious like an ant on a hot pan. He could only look at Huang Feiyang for help!

Huang Feiyang's killing intent toward Long Chen had reached its peak, but thinking that he could take Long Chen's life soon after they went to Mount Yan Dong, he endured once again.

For him, killing Long Chen was the top priority.

"Enjoy your moment of glory now. I may not dare to kill you in broad daylight, but you won't live past tonight!"

Huang Feiyang waved his hand, looking impatient.

With his permission, Long Chen smiled faintly and asked Yan Beitian, who was so anxious that his face turned blue, for a private place.

Long Chen knew time was tight and quickly asked, "Xiaoxi, are you sure the Derivative Spirit Fruit can be digested in a short time and help me reach the Divine Core Realm?"

"Of course, I've seen a lot, and you, a country bumpkin, can't understand!"

Long Chen didn't waste any more words. He immediately took out the body of the Green-Eyed Snow Lion from his spatial bag and, looking at the beast with its soft, white fur, he silently used the Dragon Soul Transformation!

With the power of the technique, the regular red scales on his skin gradually appeared, and the bright red bone spines, like blades, slowly emerged from his joints!

In just an instant, Long Chen's appearance changed dramatically. The crimson exterior was eerie and fierce, yet noble, evoking a complex feeling.

"Next, it's time to refine blood into qi..."

Since killing Xue Yuansi, Long Chen hadn't used the technique of refining blood into qi again.

This technique was still incredibly powerful. In fact, most of Long Chen's achievements today were due to refining blood into qi, showing how powerful this technique was.

At least in Baiyang Town, Long Chen had never heard of such a technique.

Refining blood into qi and Dragon Soul Transformation, the two powerful techniques Long Chen possessed, both came from that drop of inheritance essence blood, and Long Chen had only absorbed a thousandth of it.

"Maybe that essence blood really comes from an ancient blood spirit dragon, but Ling Xiaoxi simply doesn't believe it..."

In this secluded corner, no one saw what was happening. They didn't see the drops of blood, as if they had a will of their own, gradually seeping out from the skin of the Green-Eyed Snow Lion!

They danced joyfully, entering Long Chen's body, being absorbed by him, and finally transforming completely into true qi.

Although the amount of essence blood from the Profound-stage beast wasn't as much as that of the underground blood lizard king, its quality was much higher. The bloodline power it contained was countless times stronger than that of the underground blood lizard king.

When Long Chen devoured Xue Yuansi, he didn't feel such a massive increase in true qi!

In his body, the blood-red true qi seemed to explode, surging wildly, with more and more true qi joining their ranks, colliding with the already broken eight dragon veins. The ninth heavenly dragon vein, however, remained as stable as a mountain.

Long Chen knew that the heavenly dragon vein was extremely difficult to break through, which was why Yang Qingxuan and others were still at the eighth level of the Dragon Vein Realm...

With the surge in true qi, a blood-red storm raged inside Long Chen's body. When the sea of blood reached its peak, Long Chen finally knew that the time to break through to the ninth level of the Dragon Vein Realm was ripe.
