Dragon Blooded War God

Su Zhen was also the highest-ranked member of the Su family. He was the patriarch, which meant he was ranked above Su Mo!

Su Zhen was at the Fifth Divine Martial Stage and had passed the Wind Tribulation a long time ago. His cultivation had not progressed for a thousand years, so he was on the same level as Ye Xuan. However, he had an additional thousands of years of battle experience and study time. To Ye Xuan, the strongest member of the Su family was still a terrifying character.

After the previous Ye patriarch passed away, the Ye family was bullied by other clans until Ye Xuan reached the Fifth Divine Martial Stage. She became a legend within the Underworld Estate, becoming the fastest person to reach the Fifth Divine Martial Stage.

Ye Xuan was the strongest member of the Ye family, while this smiling old man was the same for his own family.

Just based on the respectful attitude Su Mo had towards him, Long Chen guessed that this old man was the leader of the Su family.

“You have a hostage!”

The moment he arrived, Su Zhen spotted the hostage in Long Chen’s hands. He grasped at the air, then Long Chen’s Fluttering Blood moved without his control. There was a shredding sound as the blade sliced across Su Xue’s fair neck, cutting her windpipe, esophagus, and even half of her head.

Long Chen was exasperated. All he could do was put the Fluttering Blood Sword away.

However, Su Xue’s injury was extremely severe. Her body was dead and was degrading quickly. A white light flickered, then a tiny, white human appeared, looking around in confusion. The tiny human was panicking, and it looked like Su Xue. This must have been Su Xue’s Divine Martial Soul. After the death of her body, her Divine Martial Soul could still survive for a while. This was how the Five Emperors had lived on.

“Hostages are embarrassments. We cannot let even the Divine Martial Soul go.” Su Zhen reached out and grabbed once more.

This time, Ye Xuan blocked him. She took out a transparent crystal bottle and placed Su Xue’s Divine Martial Soul in it. She put the bottle away, then glared at Su Mo and Su Zhen with hatred.

“You’re even killing your own kin. Su Zhen, you have gone mad.”

The old man had shaken Long Chen to his core. Long Chen could not have done the same thing.

“What’s the big deal? She’s only at the First Divine Martial Stage. We have many cultivators in the Su family. When she becomes a hostage, she is an inconvenience to the family. I gave her death so that she would not burden the family. That should be an honor for her. However, I think we also have a hostage in our hands, that boy, Ye Xuan. I just returned from the Underworld Battlefield. As for Gudu Jun … Hehe. You’ll find him in hell,” Su Zhen said with a guffaw.

Long Chen and Ye Xuan’s faces changed.

Long Chen clenched his fists. But he knew that he was no match for this person. If he was, he would have attacked.

“You killed Grandpa Gudu?” Ye Xuan’s breathing became heavy. That old man was very important to her. He had been with the Ye family for a long time, and he was around when Ye Xuan was still a child. He should have been resting and enjoying his golden years, but Ye Xuan had sent him to protect Long Chen and her brother. She had not expected it to end like this …@@novelbin@@

Su Zhen smiled and said, “Who said I killed him? That old man does not know his own strength. He wanted to take the boy from me even at the risk of his own life. In the end, he died because he exhausted his Qi while fighting the Five Underworld Admirals. People become weaker when they get older. Unfortunately, even though he sacrificed his life, the boy is still with me!”

After Su Zhen arrived, Su Mo hung his head next to him and did not speak.

As for Long Chen, although he hadn’t known Gudu Jun for long, he was a kind old man who had saved his life. That man was dead. When he recalled the old man’s kind and loving gaze, he felt as if there was gunpowder buried in his body, and it was starting to burn.

Ye Xuan felt the same way.

Long Chen could not contribute at all to this fight on the ultimate level. This was why he desired power so much. If only he was at the Divine Martial Realm, then it would be almost enough. He would be able to help, even a little. ȓ𝘢ＮŐʙÊṠ

Unfortunately, at this moment, he was nothing.

Gudu Jun’s death was Ye Xuan’s limit. She was able to endure Su Mo’s betrayal, but definitely not Gudu Jun’s death.

Ripples of power emanated from Ye Xuan, strong enough for Long Chen to feel nervous. He took a few steps back and saw three intersecting blood-red scars appearing on her face. This did not affect her looks, but instead added a layer of violence to her gentle beauty.

“Are you angry now? Do you want to fight? Unfortunately, it is not time yet.” Su Zhen was not worried at all. He gestured at Ye Xuan and said, “I can’t believe you have awakened three of the Seven Killings Blood Veins. Indeed, you are extraordinary. The previous patriarch took a few thousand years to do the same.”

After his wistful remark, he said, “Today is not the time to fight. Young lady, let me tell you this. Your brother is with me, and his life is in my hands. If you don’t want him to lose a limb, do as I say. Of course, I won’t trouble you. Gudu Jun was just a minor character. In the face of huge profit, he is insignificant. I think we will have shared interests.”

When he finished, he waited for Ye Xuan to respond, but it looked as though she had not heard him at all.

“Do you understand what I’m saying? I am here to talk about a partnership. The Ye family are the Killing God’s descendants, but we are the people who discovered his tomb. We have the right to compete for the Killing God’s inheritance. Other than us, no one else does. Therefore, I do not want anyone else to know of the inheritance’s location before we both work together to open the Killing God’s tomb. Ye Xuan, you are not able to protect your brother here. You know that I, Su Zhen, have many methods to make living a thousand times worse than death. All I need to do is issue a command. Therefore, you’d better suppress your intention to kill me. If you want to fight me, I will gladly oblige at the Killing God’s tomb!”

Su Mo’s plan had failed completely. They would never be able to get the Killing God’s inheritance by conquering Ye Xuan’s body. Now, Su Zhen had no choice but to use another method, which was to work together with the Ye family. They could only do this because they controlled her brother’s life.

Everyone knew how important her brother was to her. If they could control him, they would no longer need to worry that the beautiful City Lord would disobey them.

“Once we have agreed on a time, we will inform you. We will open the tomb in ten days. Do you want to come alone or will you summon all the experts of the Ye family?” Su Zhen started laughing, then he led Su Mo away. Both of them flew off in the darkness of the night, leaving Long Chen and Ye Xuan in a daze.

Long Chen knew why Ye Xuan had not attacked. There were two of them, but there was only one of her. If she forced it, not only would she fail to save her brother, but she would also die here.

Therefore, she had to accept that her brother had been captured and bury the news of Gudu Jun’s death in her heart.

Looking at this woman, who was at a loss for words, he knew just how much pressure she was under.

Long Chen pursed his lips and thought for a while. “Their aim is to get the Killing God’s inheritance. Your brother is with them, so it’s going to be very troublesome. If you go alone, you won't be able to fight their whole clan. Do you want to summon all the Ye family members in the estate?”

Long Chen’s words pulled her from her thoughts back to reality.

“What has happened, has happened. Nostalgia and regret are useless now. Now the most urgent thing is to rescue your brother. Master, I have also experienced many things, and I feel like we should let the past go. We should look forward. I believe that in your heart, Su Mo died a long time ago anyway. Your brother is the one you should protect now. He is your brother, the one who will never betray you.”

Ye Xuan turned around and life returned to her eyes. She had transformed from her gentle self into another state, and her mindset had changed completely. In order to achieve her current level, she had never lacked ice-cold violence in her blood. Su Mo and Su Zhen had made her regain this side of her once more.

“You’re right. There is nothing about Su Mo that is worth reminiscing about. The most important thing now is my brother’s life. Of course, if the Killing God’s inheritance ends up in the Su family’s hands, it will be a disaster for the Ye family—our family will be killed. Both families have been in a standoff for many years. It is due for a true war now. From today onwards, the fire of war will start to burn.”

Ye Xuan’s tone slowly turned cold.

Of course, her coldness was not directed at Long Chen.

“I will convey what happened to the clan so that they will gather in secret. It will be too difficult for me to rescue my brother alone,” Ye Xuan said resignedly.

“Have you decided to open the Killing God Tomb together with them?” Long Chen asked.
