Rise of the Demon God

"Nice sword but seems to be very weak. You demons certainly need better toys if you think you want to stand before us. This thing isn't going to cut it." The man tossed the sword away. For him, it wasn't even worth worrying about. The mortal treasures were something he didn't even pay attention to, finding them much worse and underwhelming than their spiritual weapons.

"The Godly Beasts are certainly strong," Long Chen commented, sighing. "You are the Royal Guard of the King who is supposedly here, so you're meant to be strongest as well. Maybe even stronger than Zhu Chang."

"It would've been easy to take care of you with my full strength and my laws," He added. "But without them, it'll be more fun. I haven't sat idle in the last few years after all. The training I received... The growth I went through, that was all, so I don't have to depend on my laws!"

"That Phoenix was stronger than I expected. She defeated me easily, but that doesn't mean I'll let anyone defeat me. I've made a mistake once with her. I won't repeat it with you!"

Long Chen cracked his knuckles, getting into the mood. "Long Tian, keep an eye on the outside. Tell me if someone is about to come!"

"Got it!" Long Tian floater back. Since he was a spirit, he was best at spying. He could look out the bar while keeping the rest of his body inside to know if someone was coming here.

"Xun, would you please close the door?" Long Chen further commanded.

Xun nodded and stood up. She walked to the door and locked it from inside. She didn't forget to cast a Barrier around the bar to make sure that noise didn't go out. That was her main purpose, even though Long Chen didn't let that happen.

"You still seem confident. It's fun to break the confidence of people like you!" The Seventh Royal exclaimed as he flew towards Long Chen, intending to teach the young boy a lesson in humility.

Long Chen didn't move and let the man come close. He didn't even prepare to attack since that wasn't his intention at the moment. He had already seen what happened when he attacked without preparation. He wasn't going to repeat the same mistake again.

The Seventh Royal reached Long Chen. His hands transformed into sharp white claws, which he thrust toward Long Chen to slice his chest.

Long Chen moved his legs at the last second as his body spun like he was dancing with the wind. He avoided the claws of the man, but he didn't stop. He flashed a cheeky smile as he raised his middle finger.

"A gift for you from the earth." He thrust his middle finger towards the back of the man's elbows. As soon as his finger hit the back of the man's elbows, the man felt as if he was frozen in time.

"There are no strong or weak skills. Just a strong or weak user. Even the skulls you learned in the most unexpected places can bring down a mountain elephant!" Long Chen exclaimed. A Qi Sword appeared in his hand, which he stabbed straight in the middle of the head of the Seventh Royal.

From beginning to the end, the man couldn't move as if his body was shackled in time.

"Did he use the Law of Time? But he said he couldn't use Laws without hurting himself. He seems perfectly fine!' Xun exclaimed in shock as he watched Long Chen.

She didn't understand how Long Chen did it without using the laws?

"Buddha's Gaze. Sometimes we don't see the weakness of the people that they hide in plain sight. I should really thank that man for teaching me this skill," Long Chen muttered. Even he was amazed at how good this skill worked.

Sometimes, the skill was completely useless since there were people that didn't have any weak points. It was impossible to give this skill to them even if they were weak. However, there were also times when there were strong who had weak points, and that's when this came in handy.

Long Chen hadn't expected the man to have such a big weakness. It was just a coincidence that he had tried it, and it worked, surprising even himself.

The other five Royals were just as stunned to see the strongest amongst them be killed this easily! They still couldn't understand how Long Chen did it. How did he defeat this monster?

"I guess we really underestimated the Demons, and so did they. In a few minutes, he has killed two of us. If we will underestimate him, we might all be dead soon. We need to think of him as a worthy opponent and give it our all!" One of the Royals let out.

He didn't want to fight Long Chen again. He wanted to make sure that they all attacked at the same time since that increased their chances of success.

"I agree. We can't let him win. We must work together." A voice of agreement came, but instead of being happy, the man was stunned. This voice wasn't from one of his fellow royals.

Before he could even look back, he felt a sword pass through his chest and slice him in half.

"Assassin Dance. The skill of Assassination  Monarch, someone who almost assassinated even the Heavenly Emperor, only to fail at the last second to be tossed in prison," Long Chen commented as his figure flashed as if dancing with the wind.

That left only four Royals. All of them jumped back in concern. Long Chen was so close to them already, and they didn't even know it.

Four people jumped back, each of them calling their soul weapons almost immediately. Unfortunately, only three of the four people landed safely. The fourth person didn't land intact. Only two halves of his body landed.

Long Chen continued his death dance, even amazing Xun. This was the first time she had seen Long Chen use that skill. He seemed so beautiful as he performed the dance of death. It was as if he had practised this same dance for thousands of years.

She was right as well. Long Chen had practised this dance almost daily for the thousand years in the Time Domain. He had mastered it all too well. The only reason he didn't use it was because some flaws in it made it infeasible.

Unfortunately, he had no choice at the moment but to use it since his enemies were strong.

He had killed four of the seven, and only three were left, but those 3 were more United. They had called out their soul weapons as well.
