Boom.
With a loud sound, a golden beam of light shot out of the room and crashed into the door, instantly slanting the side hall's door.
"Ah!"
A scream came from outside the door. Clearly, someone had been peeking outside but had been frightened by the strange situation. After making a sound, that person could not hide, so she walked out and looked awkwardly at the crowd. It was the dancer who had led the group, Huangfu Yu's fiancée.
She had not retreated, but had watched the situation from the door. Perhaps she was very concerned about whether Huangfu Yu could obtain the Catkin Wind Steps.
The golden beam of light that had crashed into the door was the Golden God of War Spear. With a clang, the Golden God of War Spear fell to the ground, causing sparks to fly.
When they looked at the scene, not only the dancer, but the others also had unnatural expressions. In their field of vision, Long Chen and Huangfu Yu stood face to face. Huangfu Yu's face was pale, and he was too frightened. Meanwhile, Long Chen's hand was strangling Huangfu Yu's neck.
Victory and defeat were already very obvious.
Huangfu Yu's Golden God of War Spear had been sent flying by Long Chen. Long Chen had used his claws. With one look, he knew that he had shown mercy when he was about to kill Huangfu Yu. Otherwise, he might have broken Huangfu Yu's neck.
Without a doubt, Long Chen had won.
This was within Huangfu Fengchen's expectations. Long Chen had not reached the Earth Martial Arts Realm, but he could defeat Jiang Wushang, who was about the same level as Huangfu Yu. Now that he was in the Earth Martial Arts Realm, he could naturally do so.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Long Chen had solved a big problem for him this time.
Huangfu Qi was so happy that she jumped up and shouted, "Haha, the big bad guy has finally lost, right? I told you long ago that my big brother is very powerful. If you bully the servant girls again, big brother will come and smack your big ass. Smack smack smack smack smack."
Huangfu Qi's words made Huangfu Yu's face darken. He looked in disbelief at the youth who was looking at him playfully. He had long been humiliated.
"Impossible."
Huangfu Yu used his hand to knock away Long Chen's arm. He wasn't willing to lose to Long Chen just like that, so he threw a punch at Long Chen. Who knew that Long Chen would be one step faster than him? He sent Huangfu Yu flying with a kick. Huangfu Yu rolled on the ground a few times, looking even more pathetic.
"Huangfu Yu."
The dancer who was peeping hurriedly helped Huang Fuyu up. At this moment, Huang Fuyu's face was dark. He didn't appreciate the gesture and pushed the dancer away. "Scram."
The dancer then retreated, her expression somewhat unsightly.
At this moment, Huangfu Fengchen wasn't in a good mood. He said coldly, "Little Yu, as a man, you have to admit defeat when you lose. Don't let outsiders look down on the men of my Huangfu family. Don't let them think that we don't have any bearing. We are men who can afford to lose. Don't embarrass me."
Huangfu Fengchen was usually very casual, but at this moment, his cold voice made Huangfu Yu's hair stand on end. He lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. His father, Huangfu Fengyun, said, "Little Yu has lost. As expected, there is always a higher mountain. There is nothing we can say. Little Yu, let's go. Don't embarrass yourself here."
Huangfu Yu had been embarrassed, and he had also been embarrassed, so he didn't have the face to stay here any longer.
"Wait."
Huangfu Fengchen paused, then said, "Big Brother, I didn't make things difficult for Little Yu. Can't you see that he hasn't even truly mastered the Overlord Spear Art's Sunpiercer Rainbow? How can he talk about the second and third moves? Wait until he has mastered the second move, then you can bring him to practice the Catkin Wind Step."
"Many thanks, Patriarch."
Huangfu Fengyun nodded. His face was expressionless. He coldly looked at Long Chen and said, "You are indeed a young genius. I admire you, admire you."
After saying that, he left with his son.
Huangfu Yu looked at Long Chen with a venomous gaze and finally left. In his opinion, the reason why he couldn't obtain the Catkin Wind Step today was all because of Long Chen.
After they left, the dancer also said, "Patriarch, Wu 'er will also take her leave."
After she left, Huangfu Fengchen didn't care about his image. He looked at Long Chen and said, "Little guy, you're not bad. It's only been ten days, and you've already learned that woman Long Yue's signature move."
Long Chen nodded and said, "I only know a little bit. Today is the first time I've used it, so there are still many areas that I'm lacking."
"To be able to stop at the last moment and control it freely is already quite good. I, Huangfu Fengchen, admire you. Tsk tsk, what should I do? I want you to be my son-in-law more and more. It's a pity that Qiqi was born a few years earlier." Huangfu Fengchen laughed disrespectfully.
Long Chen could only let out a hollow laugh.
"Daddy, do you want me to marry big brother? If I get married, does that mean I won't have to stay in this damned place? Then I want to marry." When Huangfu Qi heard this, her big eyes rolled around.
"I want to marry." Huangfu Fengchen was just joking before, but Huangfu Qi almost fainted from anger.
Long Chen said, "Qiqi, this time, I still have something important to do. This is a matter of life and death. I can't stay here for too long …"
"I don't want to. It's dark now. You said you'd leave tomorrow." Huangfu Qi hurriedly ran over and pulled on Long Chen's sleeve.
Huangfu Fengchen laughed and said, "In that case, Qiqi, accompany Long Chen and have a good tour of my Huangfu Family. However, you haven't cultivated today. If you don't complete the mission, you'll be grounded for a month."
"Alright, alright, I'll play with big brother and then send him to the guest room. After that, I'll go back and cultivate." After Huangfu Qi finished speaking, she hurriedly pulled Long Chen out.
Long Chen quite doted on this child. Since he was already here, he might as well accompany her for a night. In any case, he wasn't at Long Yue's level when it came to matters of War people, so there was no need to be too anxious.
Otherwise, Long Chen wouldn't have cultivated on the road.
Following Huangfu Qi, Long Chen spent more than four hours touring the entire Huangfu Family. The Huangfu Family was almost like a palace. Compared to the Ancient Demon Region, it was simply a paradise.
Although it was night, there were many beautiful scenery.
It wasn't until late at night that Huangfu Qi brought Long Chen to the guest room. She said, "Big brother, I have to cultivate for four hours every day. I have to go back today, but you're not allowed to leave. Tomorrow morning, I'll come find you."
Originally, Huangfu Qi wanted Long Chen to go to her room to accompany her, but men and women shouldn't touch each other, so Long Chen didn't agree.
After that, Huangfu Qi skipped back. This guest room was very luxurious. Just as Long Chen was about to close the door, he suddenly saw the dancer called Wu 'er in the distance. She had a sad expression on her face as she walked past his door.
"This seems to be Qiqi's uncle's adopted daughter. She can be considered Qiqi's cousin."
Long Chen's heart moved slightly, but he didn't think too much about it. Just as he was about to close the door, he suddenly saw Huangfu Yu come out from the shadows and follow Wu 'er. Huangfu Yu's expression seemed to be quite hazy.
"They seem to be engaged. I don't think it has anything to do with me."
Long Chen was startled for a moment, but the two of them had already walked far away. Long Chen could see Wu 'er's residence. There was a clear lake in front of him, and her residence was on the opposite side of the lake. It was a very beautiful stilted building.
Long Chen closed the door to his room and began to cultivate.
"Kitten, how is Xiao Lang now?"
"He's in the process of transforming. I think in a few days, he'll be able to become a King-level demonic beast and take human form," Kitten said lazily.
Thinking about how he would be able to have Xiao Lang stand by his side in human form in a few days, Long Chen was a bit excited.
"When I was in Baiyang Town, Little Xi also saw the wolf cub. I wonder if she will be surprised when I go to look for her with the wolf cub. Hehe." Long Chen thought happily. After thinking about it, he began to cultivate.
In today's battle, his opponents weren't weak, so Long Chen had a better understanding of the Scatter Souls Dragon Claw. That night, his main focus of cultivation was still the Scatter Souls Dragon Claw. He was already quite proficient in that close-combat technique. Long Chen could also use the stronger Five Dragons Sky Shattering Technique.
Dragon Soul Transformation and Five Dragons Shattering the Heavens were Long Chen's strongest forms.
The night passed quietly.
Four hours later, Huangfu Qi suddenly opened the door. Her face was a bit pale as she shouted, "Big Brother, big brother, something big happened."
"What happened?" Long Chen was stunned for a moment before he recovered from his cultivation state.
"Sister Wu 'er, Sister Wu' er was killed last night," Huangfu Qi said sadly.
Long Chen's expression changed.
"Sister Wu 'er used to be a dancer, but she's only at the second level of the Reaching Heaven State. I don't know who could be so cruel. If I find out, I'll skin him alive," Huangfu Qi said, tears rolling down her face.
Long Chen bit his lips and comforted Huangfu Qi. "Qi Qi, let's go and see what's going on."
"Yes, my father is cultivating in seclusion. He doesn't know yet. I heard it when I was here. Let's go."
Huangfu Qi hurriedly pulled Long Chen out of the guest room. They went around the lake in front of them.
Looking at the stilt house that was already crowded with people, Long Chen had a bad feeling. He vaguely recalled what had happened last night and felt that something was wrong.
"That girl, who would kill her? Could it be?"
Long Chen's eyes turned cold. Soon, he and Huangfu Qi arrived at the scene. Many people of the Huangfu Clan had gathered in front of the stilt house and were discussing.
"How could such a good girl suddenly die? Someone must have plotted against her. Miss Wu 'er is an outstanding beauty, and she's Young Master Yu's fiancée. How could she be killed in the clan? Who would have the guts to do so?"
"I can't figure it out. Weren't they preparing for the wedding? I think Young Master Yu is going crazy. His fiancée is gone."
"Who do you think it is? Miss Wu 'er has been in the Huangfu Clan for half a year and nothing happened. How could she be killed today?"
"We must find out who the murderer is and tear him to pieces."
