Dragon War God

“A show? What are you talking about?” Lin Batian was truly confused by the sudden change in Long Chen’s behavior.

Qian Jiang and Qian He had been running towards the Dark Moon Tiger in order to obtain the credit for killing the beast. All of a sudden, they realized that Long Chen was not following them. Confused, Qian He asked, “Brother, is the kid playing with us? How can we deal with Lin Zichen and the Dark Moon Tiger without him?”

“I knew that the kid had no balls. He must’ve frozen in fear. We might not be able to beat Lin Zichen and the Dark Moon Tiger, but we can wait for both of them to get injured and swoop in.”

Both of them nodded. They ran towards the Dark Moon Tiger without waiting for Long Chen. The other Ghost Horse Riders started killing the regular beasts. There were very few Earth-tier beasts, and the strongest of them was at the Category Seven Earth-tier. There were plenty of Ghost Horse Riders who could deal with beasts of that level. Even if Lin Zichen killed the Dark Moon Tiger, Lin Batian’s contribution would be considerable. It would then be up to the Sword Emperor to decide who the winner was.

Long Chen smiled when he saw the two Eighth River Stage generals running towards the tiger. He then looked at Lin Batian and warned him, “Stay here and don’t do anything stupid, or I will kill you.”

Long Chen moved his foot, and Lin Batian stood up shakily. Lin Batian calmed down and glared at Long Chen. “Yang Qing, why?”

Lin Batian had a shoe print on his face that made him look hilarious.

“Shut up.” Long Chen shot him a look, and Lin Batian took a few steps back. He had sensed the killing intent coming from Long Chen’s eyes. While Long Chen had been discourteous, he had never been so cold. Long Chen’s killing intent made him tremble even though he was at the Seventh River Stage.

He felt like Long Chen was much scarier than before.

Lin Batian chose to keep quiet as he looked at the situation below with Long Chen.

The other people present didn’t know what to do. Lin Batian was quiet, so they chose to keep quiet too. Some of them took a few steps back with uncertainty in their eyes when they looked at Long Chen, but soon, the battle below stole their attention.

The Ghost Horse Riders had clashed with the beasts, and the same thing happened again. They cut through the stampede like a hot knife cutting through butter, slashing and trampling the beasts into a bloody pulp!

Blood sprayed everywhere like rain.

A few minutes later, everyone’s attention turned to a man who had appeared on the far side of the battlefield and the two Eighth River Stage generals. The three of them were going to reach the tiger at the same time.

“Brother Chen, are you not going to fight?” Ling Xi knew that Long Chen hated Lin Zichen with a passion, and it was possible that Xiaolang’s family had been killed by Lin Zichen personally.

“I will wait until he deals with the tiger.”

Lin Zichen was the strongest youth in the Cangyang Kingdom, and Long Chen intended to challenge this legend. Though he wanted to do it in front of an audience, which were the thousands of people of Ginger City.

While there were tens of thousands of beasts, most of them were only at the Black-tier, so the Ghost Horse Riders easily plowed through them. However, the stampede would only end when they killed the Dark Moon Tiger, so all of them were focused on the beast!

The Black Moon Tiger felt a threatening presence coming from Lin Zichen and ignored the other two. It lowered its head and roared at Lin Zichen, its black eyes revealing a cold light.

It had a feeling that Lin Zichen would be its strongest opponent ever since it came here.

Roar!

Its massive body bulked up. Even though it was huge, it did not affect its nimbleness at all. It didn’t even look at the two generals before trampling the other beasts to pounce at Lin Zichen.

“So you are the beast that has been disturbing the peace of my kingdom?” Lin Zichen’s body became a blur and his afterimages littered the battlefield. When he got close to the Dark Moon Tiger, a golden sword appeared in his hand, and he launched a deadly ray of golden Sword Qi at the beast without any hesitation.

Bam!

The Dark Moon Tiger was shocked by the speed of the attack and swiped its claws to defend itself.

But the beast underestimated the strength of the Imperial Sword Qi! It lost one of its claws, leaving its paw all bloody.

“Hahaha! Do you think a creature as weak as you can stand up to me? You seek death!” Lin Zichen laughed and taunted at Long Chen’s direction before continuing his attacks on the tiger.

The two generals looked at each other when they realized that Lin Zichen was considerably stronger than the tiger. That meant that their plan to swoop in would most likely be ineffective.

“Should we do something?”

“No. We wait for an opening.” Qian Jiang took a few steps back. His face was pale as he cursed in his heart. He dared not approach Lin Zichen, nor could he retreat. They could only wait here.

Lin Zichen and the Dark Moon Tiger started fighting more seriously, and their battle got intense.

The Imperial Sword Qi was not to be trifled with. Lin Zichen’s swift attacks left numerous wounds on the tiger. He was smart and chose not to fight head-to-head; he kited it around while launching ranged attacks. He also dodged the tiger’s attacks with a profound movement skill.

This was how Lin Zichen slowly killed the Nine Heavens True Fire Beast. He loved using this tactic against beasts with large bodies and strong attacks. The Dark Moon Tiger was not on his level at all.

Lin Zichen would never lose to anyone beneath the Heavenly Passage Realm.

“You beast, this is my Heaven-tier Body Combat technique, the Divine Nine Palace Step. Your attacks will never land on me,” Lin Zichen said out loud to taunt Lin Batian. It was too easy for him to beat the Dark Moon Tiger. Lin Batian, on the other hand, didn’t have anyone on his side who could deal with the beast that easily.

Lin Zichen decided to not drag it out any longer. The Dark Moon Tiger panicked and used its strongest move. It smiled and belched out a stream of black gas. The black gas was composed of demonic energy, and its destructive potential was extraordinary!

“Is this the infamous Dark Torrent of the Dark Moon Tiger? It's too weak!” Lin Zichen smiled coldly before he raised the Imperial Sword and slashed down with full force. The attack was swift yet strong, and the Sword Qi split the Dark Torrent apart.

“Imperial Sword Technique, Supreme Martial Sword!”

It was indeed overkill to use a Heaven-tier martial technique on the Dark Moon Tiger. Lin Zichen split its body in half with ease. Afterward, blood sprayed in the air and rained down.

The bloody rain signaled the end of the battle.

All the men and beasts were shocked by the outcome. Everyone atop the city wall was holding their breath as they looked at Lin Zichen’s achievement. They didn’t know who Lin Zichen was; they simply assumed he was Lin Batian’s underling. However, the mayor and the other leaders were confused as to why Long Chen was holding Lin Batian hostage.

But the death of the Dark Moon Tiger was good news to them because the stampede had finally been stopped. This was all they wanted, so the mayor cheered and shouted along with everyone else in Ginger City.

With the death of the Dark Moon Tiger, the smarter beasts ran back to the Snowpeak Mountains. The weaker ones followed suit after seeing the stronger ones run away. Lin Zichen had single-handedly averted the crisis with one swing of his sword.

The Ghost Horse Riders stopped when they saw what was happening. They could neither leave nor praise the Fourth Prince, so they just stood there awkwardly. They knew that the two princes were here to fight for the throne. Now that Lin Zichen had used his strength to push back all of the beasts, it was most likely that he would succeed to the throne.

This meant that the Ghost Horse Riders had chosen the wrong ruler. They didn’t know what to do, so they looked at the generals with pleading eyes, but even the generals didn’t know what to do.

Lin Zichen put the Dark Moon Tiger’s corpse away as well as the Imperial Sword before looking at Lin Batian’s direction to taunt him again.
