Chapter 180: Longsong has the last laugh
Clad in a pure white silk dress, the princess of the Imperial Chu clan was certainly taking interest in the events.
It was known to all that Feng Longsong had been injured severely twenty years ago. The injuries left his meridians blocked and damaged. No one expected him to have restored his cultivation.
This was obviously a great thing for the whole Tang kingdom.
In addition to having restored his cultivation, Feng Longsong was now utilising all the spiritual influence accumulated in his body for all those years to enhance his cultivation to Zhenling sixth layer!
The princess kept on looking at Feng Longsong with great interest but didn't say anything.
She wanted to have a look at Feng Longsong's restored strength.
"Is he breaking through to the next layer?"
With this thought, Long Ce's lips curled upwards. He was certainly not afraid of Feng Longsong.
"Even after he steps into Zhenling sixth layer, would he be able to defeat me? This trivial Feng Longsong can by no means match the fatal martial skills of my Long clan!"
Long Ce was quite confident of himself, and he had some valid reasons for that.
In the entire Tang kingdom, even the strongest of soldiers couldn't easily obtain an ultra spiritual level martial skill. On the other hand, the children of Long clan could choose an ultra spiritual level martial skill as soon as they attained a qualifying cultivation level.
Moreover, the blood dragon was a core law of mysterious jade level and the strength of blood dragon domain was ample to defeat any Zhenling sixth layer martial artist.
In addition to this, Feng Longsong had been a 'disabled man' for nearly twenty years. Even though he had restored his cultivation, it wouldn't be easy for him to control the newfound momentum of his strength.
Long Ce sneered as he moved a step forward and immediately released his blood dragon which roared loudly as it rushed towards Feng Longsong, filling the whole field with a strong murderous aura!
At the same time, Feng Longsong had completed his breakthrough and now had a cultivation level of Zhenling sixth layer!
"The murderous aura....!"
The intense murderous aura that was being released by Feng Longsong's Scarlet Sword Zhenling entity made it very clear to Long Yu that it was far more powerful than Long Ce's blood dragon!
Feng Longsong had killed thousands of people while fighting at Long Zaitian's side.
In spite of being dormant for nearly two decades, Feng Longsong's aura had not lost its power and was certainly mightier than that of Long Ce.
The Scarlet Sword Zhenling entity hit the blood dragon on its head. An intense murderous aura exploded and quickly diffused into the air.
Feng Longsong's move matched the strength of Long Ce's attack!
This made Long Ce's complexion to change. He clenched his teeth as xuan qi surged through his body.
The blood dragon that was being blocked by the scarlet sword roared loudly as its tail swung like a pendulum and hit the scarlet sword the next moment.
The blood dragon continued to roar as it rushed towards its initial target - Feng Longsong!
"Killer sword domain!"
Feng Longsong's face brightened up. This was the moment he had been waiting for!
Dense xuan qi surged throughout his body as he released the terrifying strength of the killer sword domain. One by one, several scarlet sword shadows appeared around his body. Each of the sword shadows contained the enormous strength of killer sword domain.
Feng Longsong had comprehended this killer sword domain while fighting on the battlefield. It turned out that this principle was actually a mysterious jade level principle!
This made Long Yu pleasantly surprised.
He had never thought that Feng Longsong might have comprehended a mysterious jade level principle before he was injured. With the Butian Dan restoring his cultivation level, Feng Longsong's strength was just irresistible!
The next moment, killer sword domain had enveloped the unsuspecting blood dragon.
"Kill...!"
The scarlet sword shadows attacked the blood dragon repeatedly, creating holes in its body.
"This is not good...! Blood dragon domain...!"
Long Ce realized that he had underestimated his opponent. His complexion changed as he released blood dragon domain, making the blood dragon roar again!
Both Long Ce and Feng Longsong were releasing such an intense murderous aura that it seemed to the onlookers as if they were witnessing a mega battle in a battlefield.
Most of the people were unable to figure out exactly how much strength each one of them held. All they could do was to gape and look on with their eyes wide open as they were surrounded by intense murderous aura.
"Blood dragon shock!"
As Long Ce shouted, he emitted shock waves of his ultra spiritual level martial skill.
However, Feng Longsong maintained his poise and had broken free of the suppression of Long Ce's blood dragon shockwaves relying solely upon his will power.
Feng Longsong had been caught up in life threatening situations all his life before he got severely injured, hence his combat experience as well as will power was far more than those of Long Ce.
Long Ce's blood dragon shockwaves, in spite of being an ultra spiritual level martial skill, was unable to cause any harm to Feng Longsong. It instead consumed up a major amount of his xuan qi.
"He has such a strong will power!"
All the people who were present at the scene looked at Feng Longsong with great admiration. No matter how powerful Long Ce's blood dragon domain had been, Feng Longsong successfully overcame it just with his willpower!
If such a powerful man hadn't been 'disabled' for nearly twenty years, he would have definitely grown to be the most powerful person in the entire Tang kingdom!
Unfortunately, twenty years ago, Prince Chu Chao Sheng had not only exiled Long Zaitian from the kingdom but had also decapitated all his accomplices.
Being close to Long Zaitian, Feng Longsong was among the first people who were attacked.
Even if Feng Longsong had restored his cultivation level, he would never be able to reach the heights that he would've otherwise achieved.
"Killer sword shadows!"
Feng Longsong resisted Long Ce's blood dragon domain quite effortlessly with his killer sword shadows which rushed with great murderous aura towards Long Ce.
Although it couldn't completely match Long clan's ultra spiritual level martial skills, it was a top grade spiritual level martial skill!
Feng Longsong must have obtained it during one of his ventures when he was young, just like Long Yu obtained the meteorite charm of mysterious jade level.
The whole field seemed like hell with Long Ce's powerful blood dragon roaring and Feng Longsong's scarlet sword slashing around.
Soon afterwards, numerous sword shadows attacked Long Ce at once!
By this time, Feng Longsong had warmed himself up fully. It was a difficult task - fighting a mighty opponent after twenty long years, but Feng Longsong carried it out quite effortlessly.
He was thankful to Long Yu for all that he had done for him.
Initially, Feng Longsong had been waiting for Long Yu to grow stronger so that he could teach him how to use scarlet sword domain, but now it seemed that there was no need for that.
Long Yu had already obtained a mysterious jade level principle - the meteorite charm. Since he hadn't used it and decided to sell it, it was clear that a mysterious jade level world principle wasn't as important for Long Yu as it would've been for any other martial artist.
After all, he already possessed a heavenly tablet!
At this moment, Feng Longsong gained complete consciousness and control over his power and had successfully been suppressing all the attacks launched by Long Ce.
Killer sword domain was releasing several sword shadows which constantly attacked Long Ce.
"Blood dragon fist!"
Long Ce clenched his teeth as he launched his fist to tackle the sword shadows that were now approaching him.
The collision of the fist with the sword shadows resulted in a terrifying explosion of intense murderous aura, making everything look fuzzy for a while.
Luckily, all the people were standing at a considerably far distance from these two people; otherwise this explosion could've killed anyone.
"General Feng, Long Ce, stop!"
At this moment, a delicate female voice floated over the field.
This made all the people gawk.
Imperial Chu clan's princess!
Long Yu looked on and found that the princess, clad in a beautiful white silk robe, had blocked Long Ce's attacks before physically approaching him.
"Princess!"
Long Ce's complexion changed. He was the chief of the princess' bodyguards, that's why he was called 'Captain Long'.
Why did the princess intervene?
After thinking deeply, Long Ce figured out the reason.
He sneered at Feng Longsong and said: "You are in luck today. Since the princess asked me to stop, I will obey."
He had to comply with each and every word the princess said, even if he was aware of the princess' intention.
"Everyone knows who's been lucky today." Feng Longsong said.
Then, facing the princess, he bowed down and said: "This commoner Feng Longsong is privileged of your presence, princess!"
"General Feng doesn't need to be so courteous."
The Imperial Chu clan's princess waved her hands as she smiled: "Your cultivation has just been restored. You should go and take some rest. You need to take care of yourself."
Obviously, Feng Longsong wouldn't take any special care of himself.
In spite of all that happened, he and Long Yu were safe. He didn't see any reason to be worried about.
Long Ji, who had been struck by Long Yu's fist, had all his meridians corroded and was severely injured.
Long Ce, who wanted to hurt Long Yu, was also blocked by Feng Longsong.
He thought he would easily defeat Feng Longsong and kill Long Yu, but it was him who was in turn suppressed thoroughly by Feng Longsong. This was the greatest humiliation he had ever faced!
Feng Longsong was quite content watching him suffer.
Long Yu was also satisfied but he never imagined that the princess would actually intervene and stop the fight.
"What a pity I couldn't kill that monster!"
Liu Yuan thought as she stared bitterly at Long Ji and Long Ce.
However, she controlled her mood quickly.
Long Ce would never forget this humiliation. The next time he would see Long Yu, he would surely kill him.
Long Yu looked at Liu Yuan and noticed that her white hair that was floating in the wind was making her appear more beautiful and attractive.
"Long Yu, come with me."
It seemed that Liu Yuan had sensed Long Yu was watching her. She turned around and walked towards the Liu clan mansion.
Long Yu was confused. Why was Liu Yuan asking him to follow her to the Liu clan mansion?
However, he didn't think much about it and decided to follow her.
But just then, he thought of an issue.
The Imperial clan's princess had left, so now was the most opportune moment to address this issue.
"Foster father, why did the princess stop the fight? Long Ce is her chief bodyguard, so shouldn't she be siding with him?"
Long Yu raised a question.
