War God Long Ao

Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Dragon Breath Suppression

He refused to accept it.

He was seething with resentment.

Ji Lin had never imagined it would end like this. He thought he would be the one to kill Long Ao, but what had happened instead?

Not only had he failed to kill Long Ao, but he’d lost an arm in the process.

It was an agonizingly bitter pill to swallow.

Setting aside the pain of his severed arm, the humiliation alone was absolute.

He was, after all, a mighty Semi-Saint Martial Artist. The three great forces had deployed a total of three Semi-Saints this time, but even so, their opponent had managed to kill two Demigods and sever his own arm.

’Is this really happening?’

Even now, Ji Lin could scarcely believe it was real.

"Ji Lin, you’re not getting away today."

Ji Lin, who had been just about to stop and rest, jumped in fright when he heard the shout from behind him.

He didn’t even need to guess to know who it was. In fact, he’d been expecting it. After all things had come to this, he would have been more surprised if Long Ao had simply given up.

Not daring to pause for even a second, Ji Lin ran for all he was worth, wishing he could sprout another pair of legs.

But with one arm severed and his heart gripped by extreme fear, Ji Lin’s speed and strength were severely diminished. He had no will to fight.

In this state, Ji Lin was already utterly defeated.

A Semi-Saint being hunted down by a Realm Emperor—if word of this got out, no one would believe it.

But there are exceptions to every rule, especially when that exception was Long Ao.

One pursued, the other fled.

Wielding his Blood-Drinking Mad Saber, Long Ao chased relentlessly. ’Things have already gone this far,’ he thought. ’Letting Ji Lin live would only cause more trouble.’

’Besides, the Four Great Forces have come after me time and time again. If I keep enduring this silently, they’ll really start to think I’m afraid of them.’

’Even if the Dragon Sect isn’t as strong as the Four Great Forces, I know I can’t show the slightest hint of fear. Otherwise, they’ll just get more audacious. Give them an inch, and they’ll take a mile.’

That was precisely why Long Ao was determined to kill Ji Lin this time—to make the three great forces feel a sharp sting of pain.

Watching Ji Lin, who was still moving at an astonishing speed, Long Ao grew increasingly anxious. ’If he escapes the City of Sin’s territory and reaches the Four Great Forces, it’ll be a huge problem.’

Left with no other choice,

Long Ao once again used his Talent Divine Ability, Dragon’s Roar.

A terrifying Dragon’s Roar echoed. To end the fight quickly and ensure a single, decisive strike, Long Ao directly unleashed his technique, Blood-Drinking Saber: Devouring the Firmament. The Sword Aura burst forth and slashed down viciously.

The moment his body froze in place and he felt Time Reversal take hold, Ji Lin knew what was happening.

He almost cried out in alarm, but this time, Ji Lin was clearly much calmer than before. Circulating the Power of Sacred Essence through his body, he instantly shattered the terrifying force that held him captive.

But even so, the attack had nearly taken his life.

At that moment, Ji Lin finally understood how Long Ao could instantly kill a Semi-Saint. ’Faced with something like this, anyone—including myself—would lose all confidence to fight on.’

"Ji Lin, weren’t you acting all tough just now? Why don’t you stop and show me what you’ve got?"

Ji Lin had no time to answer. He just ran with all his might, desperate to get away. In a life-or-death situation, face and dignity were nothing but bullshit.

"You’re a real disgrace, Ji Lin, letting me hunt you down like this. If I were you, I’d be so ashamed I’d just go kill myself."

Ji Lin faltered.

Long Ao’s insults hit their mark, and Ji Lin faltered, nearly tripping. Running on the ground was getting him nowhere, so he shot into the sky. Both Realm Emperors and Semi-Saints could fly for extended periods.

’If I couldn’t catch Ji Lin on the ground, it’ll be even more impossible now that he’s in the air.’

’So what now?’

"You brought this on yourself."

Just then, a Dragon’s Roar shook the heavens. Long Qiang’s colossal body materialized in midair. Long Ao leaped onto his back, and his speed instantly tripled.

Hearing the Dragon’s Roar, Ji Lin assumed his opponent had used the binding ability again. He immediately gathered his power to resist, but after a moment, he realized he wasn’t locked in place, and the flow of time remained unchanged.

’What in the world is happening?’

Just as the baffled Ji Lin was about to turn and see what was going on,

another Dragon’s Roar echoed. Before he could process it, he suddenly felt a terrifying Dragon Breath wash over him.

’Dragon Breath?’

Ji Lin was bewildered. ’Where in the world did Dragon Breath come from?’

He had just turned his head when he saw an enormous black Giant Dragon appear beside him. His entire body trembled, and before he could react, he was engulfed by a wave of Sword Aura.

This time, Long Ao didn’t manage to capture Ji Lin’s soul. The technique, Devouring the Firmament, was simply too devastating, leaving him no time. Still, managing to kill Ji Lin without a hitch was a stroke of luck in a bad situation.

After sending Long Qiang back to the Dragon Seal Space, Long Ao didn’t immediately return to the City of Sin. He knew that Zhou Chen and his companion alone could easily handle the seven remaining Realm Emperor Martial Artists.

Long Ao’s thoughts turned to the Four Great Forces. Since three of them had sent three Semi-Saints and nine Realm Emperors to deal with him and the City of Sin, it was obvious that Piaomiao Palace was involved.

Although Long Ao had suspected as much, he hadn’t expected Piaomiao Palace to be this shameless. They were shameless to the extreme.

After all, he and Piaomiao Palace had a one-year agreement. For one of the Four Great Forces to be unable to even honor a simple bet... that alone showed just how little integrity Piaomiao Palace had.

His fists clenched tightly. Long Ao repeated to himself, ’No matter what, I must destroy the Four Great Forces. Otherwise, my troubles will be endless. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. What if the Four Great Forces harm my family and my Sect? What would I do then?’

’So the best solution is to eradicate them, root and stem. Even if it costs me, I have to take down the Four Great Forces and eliminate this threat for good—not just for my own sake, but for my family and my Sect as well.’

Long Ao knew that if he wanted to destroy the Four Great Forces, he first had to increase his own strength. Then, he had to strengthen the City of Sin, his Sect, and his family. If all of them grew stronger together, the day he could eliminate the Four Great Forces wouldn’t be far off.

’Strength. In the end, it all comes down to strength. Without strength, everything else is just talk.’

One year. He only had one short year. If he could reach the Great Emperor Realm, Long Ao was fully confident he could slaughter the Four Great Forces. But could he really achieve that in just one year?

’It’ll be difficult. Extremely difficult.’ Long Ao knew he had to take some extreme measures. Otherwise, breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm within a year would be nothing but a pipe dream.

(PS: Sigh... Xiaojiu here. My editor just told me that starting tomorrow, I can only release five Chapters a day. The reason is simple: the book’s performance isn’t great. I hope everyone can give *Long Ao* more monthly tickets and recommendation votes. Otherwise, I won’t be able to do any more mass releases.)
