Chapter 5328 Divine Retainer Yan Beifei
Before the attacker even revealed themselves, the ground shook from the sheer force of their palm. It was clearly the work of a top expert, its swiftness leaving Long Chen with no time to dodge.
You think someone like you is qualified to teach me a lesson? Long Chen snorted.
Without using his dragon blood energy or astral power, he raised his hand, relying solely on his physical strength.
BOOM!
Their palms clashed, and the shockwave from the clash rippled in every direction, blowing apart the clouds and revealing the figure of the attacker above Long Chen. Blown back by Long Chens palm, the long-haired attacker flipped three times in midair before finally stabilizing himself.
Even without the power of his bloodline, Long Chens strike was powerful enough to shatter mountains. Hence, the attacker somersaulted three times to mitigate the immense force of Long Chens strike; he was clearly skillful.
You have some strength, but not enough to teach me a lesson, Long Chen remarked coldly.
Heavens! Its Qian Renxues divine retainer, Yan Beifei! Several startled cries erupted from the crowd.
A divine retainer was a prestigious title given to attendants of divine sons and daughters. It was a position requiring both talent and immense strength, along with absolute loyalty to their respective divine sons and daughters.
Yan Beifei was the retainer of Qian Renxue, the former divine daughter. After Tang Wan-er had defeated Qian Renxue, Yan Beifeis position had become ambiguous. However, he still believed that Qian Renxue would reclaim her title, and he harbored deep resentment toward Tang Wan-er.
As a result, Yan Beifei would always cause trouble for her side. When he heard that Long Chen had appeared, he immediately rushed over.
Big words! I only used my weakest point, my physical power, in that last attack. I was afraid of accidentally killing you in one attack, so I was just testing you! declared Yan Beifei.
Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, dont fight him. He is Qian Renxues retainer. As long as you dont attack him, he wont dare to do anything to you! shouted Qing Xi.
According to the rules of the Wind God Sea Pavilion, divine retainers were not allowed to fight disciples beneath them unless challenged. Thus, as long as Long Chen refused to fight, Yan Beifei wouldnt be able to do anything. Otherwise, it would be a serious infraction of the rules.
Since Qian Renxue had lost her divine daughter status, she had one year to reclaim it. If she failed, both her title and Yan Beifeis position would be permanently stripped.
In the same vein, Yan Beifei was both a divine retainer and not quite one anymore. If he violated the rules, his status could be revoked in an instanta risk he was unwilling to take.
Upon hearing Qing Xis warning, Yan Beifei sneered. So Tang Wan-ers man is just a coward after all.
Long Chen chuckled, finding the childish taunt amusing. Calmly, he responded, It seems you refuse to accept that Wan-er has beaten Qian Renxue?
Yan Beifei snorted, Of course I refuse to accept it. She got lucky and won by a fluke. Last month, Qian Renxue challenged her again, but she made excuses to avoid the fight, clearly scared of losing. But it wont matter for long. In another month, shell have no choice but to face the challenge, and then shell be knocked off her throne. Hmph, a frog at the bottom of a well has no right to aim for the divine daughter’s position. Who does Tang Wan-er think she is? A foreign barbarian cannot compare to the divine daughter Qian Renxue.
Hearing this, Qing Xi and the others clenched their teeth in frustration. Even someone as powerful as Tang Wan-er couldnt escape such prejudice. If that was her reality, what chance did they have?
They had long since grown tired of the native disciples disdain, but there was nothing they could do. It wasnt like they could decide where someone would reincarnate.
Looking at Yan Beifei, Long Chen coldly said, Child, the way you speak is quite unpleasant. Its starting to grate on me.
So what? Everything I said is the truth. In my eyes, all of you are low-tier peasants. The Wind God Sea Pavilion accepted you out of kindness, so you should be grateful. Everything youve gotten to enjoy here was ours. You know, a dog should know its place, or someone will have to break its legs. If we tell you to shut your mouths, you should tuck your tails in and shut your mouths, understand? Yan Beifei sneered, looking toward Qing Xi and the others at the end.
His words were aimed at everyone on Tang Wan-ers side, causing many of the foreign disciples to look down in silence, while the native disciples sneered in amusement.
After Yan Beifei was done talking, Long Chen stretched out his hands and actually started to clap for him.
What? Are you admitting that Im right? Yan Beifei asked, sneering at Long Chen.
No. The crap youre spewing is unbearably stinky. Im clapping because youve managed to piss me off. Its not easy to do thatits almost impressive, Long Chen replied calmly.
Youre angry? Hahaha! Then come face me if you have the guts! Yan Beifei laughed arrogantly, brimming with confidence.
Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, dont! Senior apprentice-sister Wan-er is on a hunt in the Devil Sea. Weve already sent word to her. Shell be back soon. Dont fall for his provocation! Qing Xi shouted anxiously.
Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, stay calm. He is trying to provoke you. If you attack him, hell have an excuse to wound you! shouted the inner disciples.
Long Chen shook his head and sighed. But hes already wounded me. Wan-er is my woman, and her enemies are my enemies. Ill leave Qian Renxue to her, but Ill deal with this dog myself.
Turning to Yan Beifei, he added, Come. If I dont beat you until you admit defeat, Ill write my name backward.
Delighted, Yan Beifei immediately said, Everyone, you heard him! Hes the one challenging me!
With a wild gale surging around him, Yan Beifeis wind energy gathered as he shot toward Long Chen. However, when he appeared in front of Long Chen, he vanished, causing startled cries to ring out. It was actually an afterimage.
Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen! Qing Xi and the others cried out in alarm as Yan Beifei reappeared behind Long Chen, his sharp claw aiming straight for the back of Long Chens head.
Fuck off!
Without even turning around, Long Chen swung his hand, violet runes glowing on his palm as it slashed through the air.
