Dragon-Marked War God

Above the Luo River, on the summit of a thousand mountains, a young man as handsome as a heavenly demon, of peerless elegance, held a long spear and rode the waves, heading straight for the sect gate.

The young man was dressed in white whiter than snow, with a godlike bearing and a jade-like face. He was slender, yet he stood like a spine holding up the sky. His aura was cold, his long hair flowing loose, and his eyes were full of coldness.

The young man’s breath was as thin as a thread, and both his hands were trembling. In his heart there was only one belief: to fight his way out of the sect gate, to fight for a sky of his own, and to make everyone bow at his feet. That way, no one would stop him anymore.

“Whoever it is, whoever stands in my way dies!”

The young man’s cold voice spread across the Luo River. Ten experts surrounded him, but they were forced back again and again. These ten were all elite disciples of the God Luo Clan, each of them at the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm. And the young man in front of them was also at the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm. One against ten, his long spear was as fierce as ever. No one could surpass him.

“Stinking brat, don’t be so arrogant! Running wild in my God Luo Clan, I’ve long found you an eyesore. I’ll fight you!”

Luo Binwang roared angrily, his eyes sharp, and went straight for the white-clad young man. The white-clad young man glanced coldly at Luo Binwang. One thrust of his spear was like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers. Waves of energy rolled and arrows of water flew, completely blocking Luo Binwang’s path of attack. With a shake of his whole body, the long spear flicked up. In the blink of an eye, the white-clad young man shattered the void beneath Luo Binwang’s feet. With a backhanded swing of the shaft like a staff, the young man smashed Luo Binwang straight down out of the void. Blood gushed out, and Luo Binwang’s face turned deathly pale.

“This guy… he’s gotten stronger again… cough cough…”

Luo Binwang spat out a mouthful of blood and murmured, his heart full of resentment. Why could he be so strong? Why could he keep occupying the source of the Luo River of the God Luo Clan? If the water of the Luo River’s source had not nourished his body and helped him break through again and again, how could he stand at the very top of the God Luo Clan’s geniuses? This was extremely unfair.

“Get lost!”

The white-clad young man went wild again. With a single silver spear, he sent the ten experts flying. None of them escaped. All of them were badly injured. The young man, all alone, charged toward the sect gate on the Luo River, unstoppable!

“Go back!”

A low voice rang out. The white-clad young man’s face changed. He felt an incredibly powerful might that sent him flying straight back. The white-clad young man retreated a hundred steps before steadying himself, his face as dark as water.

“Why! Why won’t you let me leave! You’re imprisoning me! This is revenge!”

The white-clad young man roared, his eyes completely bloodshot. At this moment, his heart was almost frozen, without a trace of warmth.

“Your strength isn’t enough yet. When you break through to the Divine Emperor Realm, then you’ll have the strength to stand proudly in the Central Region Divine Land. At that time, I will naturally let you go. If you leave now, won’t you make our God Luo Clan lose all face?”

Shouts came from the void again and again, but no figure could be seen. The white-clad young man knew that with the Great Elder guarding the sect gate, there was no way he could leave.

“Not enough, not enough! When the hell will my strength ever be enough? Do you want me to die of old age in this broken place of yours? What a fine bank of the Luo River! Damn it, this old man has had enough of it long ago! More than a hundred years, I’m bored out of my mind! For the sake of my goddess, I put up with it. I put up with it again and again. But now even my brother’s whereabouts are unknown, I don’t even know whether he’s still alive in this world, and you still won’t let me go. You bunch of selfish bastards, this old man hates you to death!”

The white-clad young man’s eyes were wide enough to split, incredibly cold, as if they could pierce through the void, filled with killing intent!

“Get back in there! Until you reach the Divine Emperor Realm, don’t even think about leaving the God Luo Clan! I’m doing this for your own good too. You rebellious brat, don’t let me down.”

The voice in the void gradually faded and finally vanished into nothing.

At this moment, Goddess Luo looked up and rushed toward the white-clad young man, a look of confusion in her eyes.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… Big Brother may really have… gone. Even if you go out now, it won’t help. I know that even if I can keep you here, I can’t keep your heart here. I know how deep the bond between you brothers is. But leaving the God Luo Clan now, you couldn’t do anything to them. You’d only put yourself in danger. What the Great Elder said, he probably said for your sake too. No matter what happens in the future, I’ll follow you. But I hope you won’t hurt yourself. Even if Big Brother really is gone and you want to avenge him, I’ll be right there by your side.”

Goddess Luo murmured.

The white-clad young man gripped Goddess Luo’s shoulders tightly. If not for her, he would never have been willing to stay in the God Luo Clan. But in the end he had been put under house arrest here by them. Even wanting to leave had become a luxury. Though Goddess Luo was here, he knew he had lost his freedom.

Now Jiang Chen’s life or death was unknown, and his heart was full of grief and pain. Although Goddess Luo said she had seen with her own eyes that Jiang Chen had been buried in the Great Thunderclap Temple illusion, Big Yellow had always believed that that guy would not die so easily. Unless he saw his corpse, he would never believe that Little Chen had died just like that, without a word. Ever since entering the Divine World, he had not even seen him once. If that guy dared to die this early, then even if he had to search the heavens above and the Yellow Springs below, he would dig Jiang Chen out.

“I understand…”

Big Yellow turned and left, his eyes full of grief. Little Chen had better not be dead. Otherwise, even if he had to fight his way through the entire Western-pole Divine Land, he would make them all be buried with him. Not one of those sanctimonious great monks was any good.

Leaving Goddess Luo’s embrace, Big Yellow turned dejectedly toward the source of the Luo River. Goddess Luo watched him go, her heart full of sorrow and pain. She knew how much pain Big Yellow was in at this moment, which went without saying. His brother’s life or death was unknown, and he was powerless. He could not even leave the God Luo Clan. The anger and self-reproach in his heart would surely devour him bit by bit.

As Big Yellow left, it was as if he were slipping out of her hands. Goddess Luo’s heart ached too, a heart-wrenching pain she had never felt before. Big Yellow did not blame her, but her heart was full of regret.

“His heart needs quiet. There are some things you can’t understand. The bond between brothers, the love between those as close as hands and feet. No one can understand his pain. I just didn’t expect that the guy he always talked about, who could do anything, would turn out to be so useless.”

A faint murmur came to Goddess Luo’s ears.

A woman in green, her long skirt flowing like a waterfall, her black hair like an abyss, her face like jade. She had countless graces, an extraordinary bearing, a cold and unrivaled beauty, bright eyes and white teeth, and a graceful figure.

When the woman’s red lips moved, it was breathtaking. Even Luo Binwang in the distance feared her like a tiger. One glance could topple a city, a second glance could topple a nation!

“Big Sister, it isn’t what you think. Big Brother really was strong… it’s just that the Divine Emperor Realm expert was too terrifying. With his strength at the Late Hierarch Realm, there was no way he could turn things around. In the end, the dust could only settle, and he vanished into nothingness. The Great Thunderclap Temple illusion was a place full of danger to begin with. He killed almost everyone, standing between heaven and earth on his own strength, and even handled a Divine Emperor Realm expert with ease. All of this… such is the time, such is fate.”

Goddess Luo said with a bitter smile. She was full of guilt over Jiang Chen’s death. Not only had she been powerless, but even Big Yellow, who wanted to avenge his brother, was trapped in the God Luo Clan.

“Trash is always trash. No words can smooth that over. Once dead, it’s all over. You did nothing wrong in this, and neither did he. What’s wrong is this heartless, cold world. It’s time you focused on your cultivation. Until you reach the Divine Emperor Realm, don’t come out of seclusion again. You’ve already wasted far too much for the sake of love. This time, go into death seclusion.”

The woman said calmly. Goddess Luo’s face changed, but in the end she nodded helplessly, an indescribable bitterness at the corner of her mouth.

“Big Yellow, you must wait for me. When it comes to avenging Big Brother, I want my share too!”
