Dragon Blooded War God

“Why didn’t you tell me you could do that?” asked Long Chen.

This ability was extraordinary. In the future, couldn’t he just ask Little Cat to possess any terrifying beast’s body when they encountered one?

“About that … Haha. It’s because the Dream Demon has some strange powers and, like me, it looks like a cat. That’s why I’m paying more attention to this. As for the other demonic beasts, they’re all hideous. I would never be interested in possessing their bodies!”

Long Chen suddenly understood. “I’m guessing it’s because the Dream Demon is only at the Category Nine Heaven tier; that’s why you can take advantage of it. As for the other beasts, if you dared touch them, they’d beat you up for it!”

Fat Cat was appalled that Long Chen had guessed it right. “Hey, brat, you know nothing! Before I was sealed in the Primordial Realm, I had powers you wouldn’t be able to comprehend. I collected a lot of energy after all these years with great effort, but I used all of it to save Baitang Town. How dare you say such a thing? It makes me mad!”

Despite Fat Cat looking so flustered, Long Chen ignored him. He continued searching the city. Suddenly, he spotted his target through the Soul Swallowing Gaze.

“Based on the soul’s aura, I think it’s the Dream Demon. It hasn’t left this place yet. Little Cat, I’ll leave it up to you later. If the Dream Demon uses its magic on me, I won’t be able to withstand it!”

Fat Cat came out of the Primordial Realm and said impatiently, “Don’t worry. Just take me over there and leave everything to me.”

Long Chen quickly covered the distance of five hundred meters.

He wove through the dilapidated wooden houses and soon arrived at his destination. He did not reveal himself instantly, but instead hid in a dark area to observe for a while. He first saw an old man with a battle knife in his hand. The old man’s hair and beard were white and he had a look of terror and viciousness. His eyes were bloodshot and he was waving his sword madly, chopping down many wooden houses without stopping. One by one, wooden houses collapsed and shattered due to his crazed slashing, and even thick tree branches exploded from the impact!

“Hu Yidao! Die! Die! How dare you kill my wife and son? Die!” the old man kept shouting as blinding light erupted from his knife. His surroundings were a mess.

Long Chen finally understood how those people had died. The Dream Demon was only a Category Nine Heaven-tier beast that lacked the power to kill them directly, but it could disrupt a person’s mind and immerse them in hatred.

Not just hatred, but they could be immersed in all sorts of desires too. The old man was lost in hatred.

Long Chen’s gaze passed the old man and landed on a dark corner behind him. There was a wooden house whose door had fallen off and was leaning haphazardly against a wall. There were many shadows on the ground, and one was only the size of a palm, so its owner was surely no bigger than that.

“My little baby… It’s there …” Little Cat cried excitedly.

They were thirty meters away, so the Dream Demon did not hear Little Cat’s creepy remark. Long Chen’s eyes were fixed in that direction. After a while, the old man’s essence was almost exhausted and the shadow in the dark area moved. A little ball of fur emerged.

Long Chen peered closely and realized that it was a little black cat. It was a bit plump and very furry, about the size of a palm. It sat on the ground and stared at the old man curiously with its large, black eyes. While the old man was going crazy, it started and retracted its neck to its shoulders, making it look adorable.

Long Chen did not know that such an adorable beast could be a merciless killer. It looked at the old man like it was terrified of him. People who did not know what it had done would likely think that it really felt that way, but in reality, the old man was fully under its control.

The Dream Demon had to have an extraordinary ability to have such a name …

When that old man was about to cut his own neck with his knife, Long Chen hurried Little Cat and said, “You should move quickly. Let’s not drag this until after he kills himself.”

Little Cat snickered and said, “Hey, idiot, don’t you know that heroes only appear at the last second? I want to wait until his knife touches his neck, then we’ll talk!”

“Get the hell over there!” raged Long Chen.

His sudden shout startled the Dream Demon. When it detected the sound, it suddenly looked in Long Chen’s direction cautiously. At that moment, Long Chen saw its eyes turn into gigantic, black whirlpools that were going to suck him in!

It’s a hallucination! That little thing is using magic on me! Long Chen was stunned for a moment, but he came to his senses instantly. He quickly put his guard up to prevent himself from being affected by the Dream Demon. He had seen what it could do; even Fifth Earthly Martial Stage cultivators could not put up a fight against it, let alone Long Chen.

“Brother Chen!” Long Chen suddenly heard a voice. In the beginning, he thought he had imagined it because it was undeniably Ling Xi’s voice. This voice had been buried deep in his heart for a very long time. When he heard it, his longing poured out like floodwater.

He suddenly realized he had not fallen for the Dream Demon’s spell yet, as he was still in the city on the giant tree. His surroundings were exactly the same. The Dream Demon looked at Long Chen, then trembled in fear and ran off with its tail between its legs.

Long Chen whipped his head around, then he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He saw a teenage girl in a long, white dress standing amidst an ethereal mist. She gazed at him emotionally as tears filled her eyes.

This was the person he thought of day and night, his woman, Ling Xi!

“Brother Chen!” It was such a familiar voice. Every expression and every movement was identical to his memory! Long Chen would never forget those details. He knew that despite how powerful the Dream Demon was, it would not be able to recreate Ling Xi in such a complete manner. Plus, the Dream Demon had run away already. Long Chen still had his sense of touch. He could feel the surrounding warmth and sunlight, and the toughness of the wood beneath his feet. Furthermore, because the Dream Demon had run away, the old man next to him had recovered. With his knife in hand, the old man stared at Long Chen and Ling Xi.

The girl looked at Long Chen with tears in her eyes, speechless.

Long Chen really wanted to call out her name, but his voice could not leave his throat. He realized his throat was blocked and could not make a sound, and he had no way of venting his longing. It was a miserable feeling.

He wanted to stand up and pull her into his arms, but he could not.

While he was in great pain, Ling Xi slowly walked up to him. When her fragrance wafted into his nostrils, he realized the beautiful girl was already standing in front of him.

“Brother Chen …” A teardrop slid down from her eye. Long Chen looked up and watched her cry. Her tears made his heart ache. He reached out in a daze, wanting to hold her fair and slender fingers.

Ling Xi wiped away her tears and took out the Ling Xi Sword from somewhere. Then her expression changed completely from tears to a vicious sneer. She smirked at him mockingly and her cold voice rang in his ears!

“Long Chen, you’re fantasizing too much! You’re only trash from a lowly place, while I am from the Swordsoul Palace of the Three Royal Territories. How could you have the right to be with me? To be honest, I never loved you. Everything that happened in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory was just to coax you into getting me the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit. I can’t believe you actually believed me! Now, it is your time to die! I came to the Ancient Graveyard with only one goal, which is to kill you so that you won’t go to the Royal Territory and disrupt my life!”

Her voice was like a sharp knife stabbing his heart and body again and again until he was covered in wounds.

He suddenly felt weak all over; even breathing was difficult. A suffocating feeling consumed him. Ling Xi’s vicious expression, her mocking and contemptuous tone … He had never seen her like this. He had not even thought she could be like that.

“Die!” Ling Xi sneered and thrust the Ling Xi Sword into Long Chen’s throat. It was a vicious strike with no hesitation. If Long Chen did not fight back, he would die!

Xiao Xi … She wants to kill me? She said I’d be disrupting her life if I went to the Royal Territory? She looks down … she looks down on me? Long Chen’s eyes were filled with disbelief. It was too different from what he imagined. He thought Ling Xi would cry every day in the Royal Territory thinking about him. How could it be like this …

His heart was in great pain as he panted heavily and could, unable to make a single sound. He stared at her sword in a daze, which was coming determinedly at him. He looked at her contemptuous expression. Ling Xi was a complete stranger to him in this state!

Long Chen was left in a daze, not knowing whether to dodge. But everything he had worked for was all for this woman. Now she did not need him anymore, so what was the meaning of living …

Might as well die …
