Chapter 0853: Turn the Tide?

Chapter 853 - Turn the Tables?

Seeing his grandfather, Long Yucang was overwhelmed with excitement and joy, quickly approaching him to pour out his heart about his father’s death.

The moment Long Cangsheng emerged, he knew one of his sons had died. Though he appeared relatively calm on the surface, no one could fathom what was going through his mind.

"Long Cangsheng, your son’s death in the Arena is allowed, so don’t even think about seeking revenge from Chuan Wu!" a half-immortal from the Long family said. "Of course, if you want to avenge him, you can only do so by killing Chuan Wu in the Arena!"

Long Yucang had tried before but failed.

Now, suddenly, there was this Long Yutian, who seemed very powerful, defeating both Long Chuanwu and Xian Rujing in an arm-wrestling match.

Long Cangsheng looked at Qin Yun. When he came out, someone had already told him about this "Long Yutian." He couldn’t be sure if the bald young man before him was indeed his grandson.

"Grandfather, we won many good things, but those guys are forcing us to hand them over!" Long Yucang hurriedly informed Long Cangsheng.

After hearing this, Long Cangsheng also looked at Qin Yun with surprise.

The people from the Long family and the Heavenly Dragon Clan found the situation quite difficult.

With Long Cangsheng here, it wouldn’t be easy for them to reclaim the Dragon Soul.

Long Cangsheng was very powerful, and they dared not act rashly against Long Yucang, except in the Arena.

"Those items were won by my grandson through his own abilities. If you want to take them back, you’ll have to get past me first!" Long Cangsheng said with a cold laugh. "How about this: let’s settle it in the Arena. Send someone to fight me one-on-one! If you manage to kill me, then you can take back those items!"

A half-immortal from the Heavenly Dragon Clan said coldly, "The Dragon Soul is invaluable to us. If you know what’s good for you, you should make your grandson hand it over! Children often play games; why should we adults take it seriously?"

An elder from the Long family also added, "Long Cangsheng, if your grandson lost something very precious, I doubt you would take it lightly either, right?"

"Want to take back those things? Kill me first!" Long Cangsheng's face darkened. "You’re all Half-Immortals now. If you’re not convinced, come and fight me, don’t just whine there!"

Qin Yun and Long Yucang quickly stood behind Long Cangsheng, looking smugly at Long Chuanwu and the others.

Long Chuanwu, having been slapped in public by his elders, was already seething with anger. Now, seeing Long Yucang and the others wearing mocking expressions, his fury only intensified.

Xian Rujing felt only regret for not obtaining anything valuable, but seeing Long Chuanwu being reprimanded brought her immense satisfaction.

None of the elders from the Heavenly Dragon Gate or the Long family dared to step forward to challenge!

Qin Yun knew that Long Yucang’s grandfather was very powerful; otherwise, it would have been impossible for Long Yucang to obtain a piece of an ancient dragon tree to build the Dragon Tree Pavilion, let alone sell dozens of spots for several hundred billion.

Long Cangsheng sneered, "What? Do you still want to retrieve those things? Send someone out to fight me! You cowards, all you know is bullying the young!"

Long Yucang also shouted, "Old turtles and old beasts of the Heavenly Dragon Gate, you came down from the Immortal Wasteland, weren’t you so mighty? Hurry up and fight my grandfather, see if you have the guts to kill him!"

Seeing the arrogance of this grandfather and grandson, no one dared to say anything.

The elders of the Heavenly Dragon Gate and the Long family were the most enraged.

If it had been before, they might have dared to act, but after exploring the Dragon Cave, several Half-Immortals were severely injured and lacked the strength to contend with Long Cangsheng.

There were rumors that Long Cangsheng was a Sixth Tribulation Half-Immortal and also a Runes Master!

Qin Yun had also inquired before. In terms of seniority, Long Cangsheng was considered a junior, but he became a Half-Immortal at a very young age and swiftly overcame several Half-Immortal tribulations. He was also a talented Runes Master.

Thus, this junior had enough confidence to stand up to the elders.

At this moment, seeing Long Cangsheng, Qin Yun was secretly amazed. He never expected that within the Dragon King Manor, such a talented and powerful figure would be hidden.

The group from Tianlong Gate had all descended from the Immortal Wasteland and should have had enough confidence to retaliate, but they still dared not, fearing that Long Cangsheng would fight to the death with them.

At this moment, a stalemate had also formed!

The elders of Tianlong Gate and the Long family were eager to reclaim the Dragon Soul, but with Long Cangsheng around, they found it extremely difficult to do so.

"Why don't we exchange something for the Dragon Soul!" An elder from Tianlong Gate suggested, looking at Long Cangsheng.

"That depends on this young man!" Long Cangsheng glanced at Qin Yun.

"I'm not willing," Qin Yun said. "What can you offer in exchange for the Dragon Soul? If you really have something equivalent, would you be willing to part with it?"

"A piece of Immortal Equipment," the elder replied.

"I don't want it," Qin Yun pouted. "What kind of lousy Immortal Equipment, I don't care!"

The elders of the Long family angrily asked, "Then what do you want?"

Qin Yun smiled and said, "Exchange it with Long Chuanwu's life. Are you willing?"

Long Chuanwu, upon hearing this, was immediately terrified and shouted, "No way!"

The people from Tianlong Gate would never agree either, as Long Chuanwu was still quite important.

"One hundred billion purple crystals!" The elders of the Long family offered.

"Are you kidding me? He doesn't even want your Immortal Equipment; why would he want your one hundred billion purple crystals? Even the poorest Immortal Equipment isn't worth just one hundred billion!" Long Cangsheng sneered.

"You're not willing to offer anything better in exchange!" Qin Yun huffed.

"This is all your young people's play, yet you expect us to take it seriously? We are willing to exchange something with you, which is already quite generous!" the elder of the Heavenly Dragon Gate said in great anger.

"Old turtle, if Longchuan Wu had won my good things, would you treat it as a joke? Don't talk without feeling the pain!" Qin Yun said with a cold smile.

Xian Rujing then whispered softly, "How about this... let me have another bet with him, maybe I can turn the tables?"

The onlookers were both amused and exasperated; at such a moment, Xian Rujing was still thinking about betting again. It was the first time they had seen such a gambling woman.

"You've lost to me before, and you still dare to come again?" Qin Yun smiled.

"I have dual Divine Arts martial souls, and I only used one kind of Divine Art power before. If I use both Divine Arts, winning you shouldn't be hard! I am at the late-stage Martial King level, while you... look like you've just cultivated the aura of a king, only at the early-stage Martial King level!" Xian Rujing said with great dissatisfaction.

The people of the Heavenly Dragon Gate knew Xian Rujing very well and understood her strength, but they still found it somewhat unbelievable.

Long Cangsheng also found it interesting and wanted to see how powerful this suddenly appearing grandson really was, capable of defeating such strong opponents consecutively.

"Not betting is fine, after all, it's not me who lost the dragon soul!" Xian Rujing sighed softly, "I just wanted to win back the dragon soul!"

Long Cangsheng smiled, "If you want to reclaim the dragon soul, this might be the only way! Lose as you did, win back the same way!"

Qin Yun said, "They need to put up something good enough as stakes!"

Xian Rujing said, "It doesn't have to be too good, just enough to move your heart! You're so confident, surely you think you can win, so even if the stakes aren't equal, you'll still have the mentality of getting something for nothing, and agree to bet with me!"

"True!" Qin Yun said.

The people of the Heavenly Dragon Gate thought about it and felt that this seemed to be the only way.

An elder asked, "Rujing, what do you think could move his heart and make him agree to bet with you?"

Xian Rujing said, "I previously obtained forty Imperial Origin Stones. You took quite a few. How many can you bring out now?"

"Fifty!" An elder's eyes lit up, as the Imperial Origin Stones were not particularly important to them.

But for those at the Martial King and Martial Emperor realms, they were extremely precious.

Qin Yun cursed inwardly. Those stones were indeed something he desired greatly, but their value paled in comparison to the Dragon Soul.

He was confident in his abilities and felt that obtaining those fifty Imperial Origin Stones wouldn't be too difficult, yet he also feared losing.

"Alright, we agree to use fifty Imperial Origin Stones as stakes! If we win, you just need to give us the Dragon Soul!" said the elder from the Heavenly Dragon Gate.

"I agree, but you must put the Imperial Origin Stones on the table first!" Qin Yun said, "I'm afraid you might cheat!"

The group then took out the Imperial Origin Stones and placed them on the ground.

Now reassured, Qin Yun walked over to the table and extended his hand.

"This is the final round!" Xian Rujing said with a cold smile, "Baldy, I will definitely take you down!"

"Xian Rujing, to be honest, those fifty Imperial Origin Stones are more valuable than your body! You may think you're a celestial beauty, unparalleled in the world, but in my eyes, you're not even as valuable as those stones!" Qin Yun chuckled.

The crowd secretly admired his courage for saying such things to Xian Rujing's face.

Xian Rujing seemed like a bomb that had been ignited, her anger surging as she tightly gripped Qin Yun's hand.

"Baldy, I will definitely defeat you!" Xian Rujing shouted angrily.

"Begin!" The elder from the Heavenly Dragon Gate saw the moment and immediately called out.

Xian Rujing's body shimmered romantically as she summoned the Snow Spirit.

But at that moment, Qin Yun unleashed all his techniques in one go—Super Gravity, Pain Divine Arts, Oscillation Divine Arts, Nine Absolute Mystic Power, and Devouring Force, releasing them in quick succession.

This time, Qin Yun took the initiative; the Pain Divine Arts caused Xian Rujing’s arm to ache severely, while Super Gravity, Oscillation Divine Arts, and Nine Absolute Mystic Power struck out in rapid succession, generating immense force.

In an instant, he pressed Xian Rujing’s hand down, and the Devouring Force absorbed her bone-chilling icy power.

Bang!

Xian Rujing’s hand was forcefully pinned to the stone table, sending a powerful shockwave that disheveled everyone’s hair.

The battle had barely begun when Xian Rujing was defeated!

Xian Rujing was stunned, unable to accept this reality. In her fury, she lunged forward, biting into Qin Yun’s arm, making him howl in pain...

Everyone was dumbfounded; this noble and beautiful woman, who looked like a celestial being, actually bit someone like a dog!

"Damn ice tigress!" Long Yucang, seeing Qin Yun’s miserable state, shouted urgently, "Brother, quickly use our men’s innate ultimate technique, the Grab-and-Pack Dragon Claw..."
