Dragon War God

His heart was throbbing with great pain.

Long Chen seemed very calm on the surface, there was a surge of emotion flooding through him like an infinite dragon roaring manically in his body. Despite being on the verge of a breakdown, he maintained a calm exterior. First, his dignity would not let him be looked down on by Ling Xi’s grandmother. Second, Ling Xi was already beside herself with grief. As the man, if he sobbed like she did, it would only make it more difficult for her to part.

Ling Xi shuddered when she heard the old woman call her and held Long Chen’s arm even tighter. All of her tears fell on his shirt, soaking through his clothes and even reaching his heart.

“Brother Chen, I don’t want to go. I can’t bear to part with you, I can’t ...” said Ling Xi as she sobbed, as if she were sleep talking. Her body trembled, showing just how much grief she was in.

“Be good, Xiao Xi. Don’t be like this; follow your grandmother back. What I promised you will never change. You are the daughter-in-law of the Long family; no one can separate us. This is only a temporary separation. Just wait for me. I promised that I will go to you one day. It will not be more than ten years. When that happens, I will definitely be qualified to marry you.”

His tone was steady as he whispered gently into her ear. His eyes were fixed dead on the two people behind her as his heart roared in rage. He was extremely frustrated by today’s circumstances.

However, in the face of absolute power, he could only choose to temporarily surrender.

“Xiao Xi, believe me. This will be the only time I will surrender in my life. And it is for you. Today, I have understood the importance of strength even more. That is why this will never, ever happen again ...” Long Chen closed his eyes, holding back his tears.

“I ... I don’t know anything! I don’t want to be away from you for ten years!” Ling Xi was still trapped in her grief.

“Be good. Within ten years, as long as I’m not dead, we will meet again.” Long Chen’s gaze was infinitely passionate and determined. He indeed had the talent to do so. His father, Long Qinglan, was likely a person beyond Ling Xi’s clan’s level. This surrender today was only so that he could shine fiercely in the future.

“Xi’er, if you don’t come here now, I’m going to end it for you,” said the old woman coldly. She had finally lost her patience.

Ling Xi shuddered.

The final moment had arrived.

Long Chen pushed her away gently. Her entire face was stained with tears, and she was crying intensely. He felt a stabbing pain in his heart and closed his eyes. He kissed her forehead gently and said, “I am now planting my Long family seal on you. From today onwards, you are my wife.”

Ling Xi nodded through her tears.

“Go!” Long Chen steeled himself and gritted his teeth. Then his tears finally flowed. This was the first time he had lost control of his emotions like that!

But he would not let Ling Xi see it!

He shoved her away, then he turned and dashed madly towards Baiyang Town.

“Xiaolang! Go! Go!” he roared.

Through her blurry tears, Ling Xi saw Long Chen grow smaller and smaller, until he disappeared. Then she slumped to the ground as if she had lost her soul, and her gaze dulled.

Long Chen had left so decisively. That was his personality. He was never the type to linger. However, he did not know that he had taken her heart with her. There was no light in Ling Xi’s eyes, and she had a dazed expression, as if she was almost dead.

“Have the feelings become this deep already?” The old woman sighed heavily. She walked over and gently helped Ling Xi up. Then she turned to the teenager. “Wang Chao, let’s begin the journey back.”

The teenager nodded slightly.

Since they could travel very fast, they quickly disappeared into the horizon with Ling Xi. Ling Xi did not want to move at all, but she could not fight the old woman’s control. The old woman carried her on her back, and was currently soaring quickly through the clouds.

“Xi’er, are you still unwilling to forget him?” the old woman asked sternly.

Ling Xi crouched on her back, in a daze, like a piece of wood. She did not reply.

“Fine, fine. You will forget.” The old woman sighed. She swiped her hand, which was supporting Ling Xi’s back, and Ling Xi fainted.

After Ling Xi was fully unconscious, the old woman suddenly said, “Wang Chao.”

“What is it?” the teenager asked after he froze for a moment.

“Go back now and wipe that boy named Long Chen’s memory clean. However, you must not kill him. He saved Xi’er; he has done a huge favor for her after all.”

“Alright!” Wang Chao nodded and quickly headed back towards Baiyang Town.

With this decision, the boy and the girl would be completely segregated like heaven and earth.

“I don’t know if this is cruel of me, but this is for their own good. I hope Xi’er won’t blame me. She was never meant to come to this place, but fate is mischievous ...”

The old woman sighed ...

***

As Long Chen dashed madly, he felt like his chest was about to explode. His breathing had become heavy, and sweat poured like rain on his face due to how hard he was trying to hold his emotions back. Tears and sweat mixed together until neither could be distinguished from the other.

“AHHHH!”

After running, he fell heavily to his knees and let out a furious roar at the sky!

“I swear! I swear! I will go to her home! No one can stop me! Impossible!” His skin turned red and blood churned all through his body. His blood was like countless dragons slithering through his blood vessels.

Xiaolang was by his side. His eyes were filled with pity and helplessness when he saw how much pain Long Chen was in. He was the person who knew Long Chen the most now, but due to his body, he could not say anything. After Ling Xi left, Xiaolang and Long Chen could no longer communicate.

“Awooo ...”

Xiaolang spun in panic in front of Long Chen.

“Xiaolang ...” Xiaolang suddenly heard Long Chen’s hoarse voice. When he looked up, he saw that Long Chen’s eyes had turned a terrifying blood-red.

Long Chen stuck his fingers deep into the soil as he trembled and gritted his teeth. The red color in his eyes thickened.

Whoosh! Long Chen stood up. He knew that he could not go on like this. He did not have much time left, so he could not waste it. There was an infinite distance between Baiyang Town and Ling Xi’s home; he did not know just how much time he would need in order to see her again.

Long Chen was already at the entrance of Baiyang Town. When he stood up, the redness in his eyes slowly faded. Although his heart was in great pain, he held on bitterly.

“I’ll stay in Baiyang Town for a while as the last time I’ll come here, then I’ll get on the universal transporter and go to the Divine Martial Empire.” That was his current plan.

Although Ling Xi’s family had not done anything to Long Chen, their contempt had trampled his ego. This made the arrogant Long Chen wake up completely.

“A person must not be content with his achievements. Never. Because there is always a taller mountain, and there will always be a stronger person. I may be peerless in the Cangyang Kingdom, but I am a tiny ant in the outside world!”

Long Chen successfully got over the grief. He knew that if he dwelled on this, he would never achieve anything. That was why he had to understand this point as soon as possible and embark on his new journey.

From today onwards, he only had one goal. That was to run until he could finally appear in front of Ling Xi, and publicly marry her in front of her giant clan.

After confirming this goal, he looked down and asked, “Xiaolang, are you willing to go with me? To an even bigger world? And conquer it?”

Xiaolang nodded emotionally.

Long Chen forced a smile. Xiaolang was still by his side; that was the only thing he could be happy about. With Xiaolang around, he would never be lonely on his journey.

Xiaolang privately heaved a sigh of relief when Long Chen found his way out of the grief.

Long Chen only wanted to visit Baiyang Town for the last time, then he would bid Zhao Qingyun and the rest farewell before leaving for the Divine Martial Empire. The Cangyang Kingdom was no longer suitable for him.

Standing in a corner not far away from the Yang family’s residence, he watched the crowd pass by in a daze for almost two hours. This place was filled with his childhood memories. At this point, it would likely be goodbye forever.

“Xiaolang, let’s go ...” he said, prepared to leave.

“Go? Go where?” A cold voice suddenly rang behind him. Long Chen felt all his hairs stand on end. This feeling was very familiar, and he turned around immediately. It was the teenager who had come with the old woman; he was standing behind him with a cold expression.

Long Chen felt like he had fallen into a freezer.

Long Chen took a few steps back as he asked cautiously, “Why are you back?” He saw malice in the teenager’s eyes.

The teenager named Wang Chao did not answer his question, but he said impassively, “You may not know this, but I have an older brother. He is the ultimate prodigy admired by the masses. Recently, he received an ancient dragon’s Inherited Blood Essence and became a rare Dragon Warrior. He is the strongest and most talented cultivator in his generation. His name is Wang Chen.”
