Chapter 5443 Chaotic Dragon Domain
“What did you just say? I don’t think I heard you clearly. Could you repeat that for me, please?” asked Long Chen, his tone polite.
His domineeringness was nowhere to be seen, replaced by exaggerated humility and politeness.
After all, this place was the Dragon Domain, and Long Chen had come with his own goals. He felt embarrassed acting too domineering here.
Other than the three injured individuals from earlier, the rest were now kneeling before him, their faces battered and bruised. Some were missing limbs, and none dared to move.
Hearing Long Chen’s “humble” words, they shuddered. The friendly smile on his face looked more like a devil’s twisted grin, making their hair stand on end.
Moments earlier, they had charged at him with full force, only to be pummeled to the ground before they even understood what had happened. Each of Long Chen’s punches broke bones and left them writhing in pain.
Long Chen had deliberately held back from killing them outright, but he ensured they suffered. His punches caused internal damage, leaving them in excruciating agony. When a few dared to curse at him, they were promptly silenced with slaps, while others lost limbs to his merciless strikes.
Once their arrogance was thoroughly beaten out of them, a single shout from Long Chen had them on their knees, utterly terrified and obedient.
“Hey, speak. Weren’t you very arrogant just now?” Long Chen taunted, slapping one of the leaders so hard that he tumbled backward.
Flames of fury burned in Long Chen’s heart as he looked at the defeated dragon experts. For a race known for its pride and dignity, how could they kneel so easily? What happened to the dragon race’s honor?
If they had refused to kneel no matter what, Long Chen would have respected them a bit more. But now, he had the urge to kill them all to clean up the dragon race.
The one with a swollen face bitterly spat out, “We were wrong. We shouldn’t have offended you. We thought you were with those humans who came before...”
“What humans?” Long Chen asked.
Long Chen’s heart skipped a beat. He instantly suspected the Dragonblood Legion but feigned curiosity, asking eagerly.
As he expected, the humans they mentioned were indeed the Dragonblood Legion.
During the battle with the Silver Hair Void Crusher, the Dragonblood Legion was sent away by the Earth Cauldron. Guided by the Dragon Sovereign, they crossed the Endless Desolation and arrived at the Heaven Essence World’s Dragon Domain.
At first, they were worried about Long Chen. However, the Dragon Sovereign secretly informed the white dragon race leader that Long Chen was safe, instructing him to keep it a secret. The white dragon race leader only hinted at this to Yue Zifeng and the others. Although he didn’t say the details, Yue Zifeng and the others instantly understood, and they came with them here peacefully.
On the way, they faced the attacks of countless devil creatures. Fortunately, the Dragonblood Legion’s battle prowess was unmatched. While protecting the dragon race’s experts, they managed to break through the Endless Desolation.
However, when they arrived at this Dragon Domain, their excitement was extinguished. They couldn’t believe what they saw. The chaos here was beyond imagination—a thousand times worse than the Dragon Domain they knew. In-fighting among the dragon race was rampant, and large-scale massacres were common.
Back then, some aggressive dragons viewed the Dragonblood Legion as spies and sought to attack them. Fortunately, the white dragon race leader invoked a secret art to summon reinforcements. The Heaven Essence World’s white dragon race responded immediately, rescuing them just as they were surrounded by countless dragon experts.
They were escorted to the white dragon race’s territory and questioned about their origins. Upon learning they had come from beyond the Desolation, the Heaven Essence World’s white dragon race leader felt both shame and helplessness.
The chaos in the Dragon Domain stemmed from unending struggles for dominance, with no faction willing to submit to another. This ceaseless in-fighting, fueled by greed and pride, had persisted for countless years, gradually pushing the dragon race toward self-destruction.
Although the white dragon race did not participate in these affairs, surviving in such a chaotic world without being drawn into conflict was impossible.
So disheartened were the white dragon race by the state of the Dragon Domain that they had begun contemplating leaving entirely. To them, facing death in battle against the Heaven Devils in the outside world seemed better than perishing in the endless cycles of internal strife.
The white dragon race readily accepted the Dragonblood Legion into their fold. Some dragons who had accompanied them had initially sought to reunite with their own branches of the dragon race. However, upon reaching the Heaven Essence World, they found their ancestral clans either untraceable or unwilling to help, leaving them no choice but to remain with the white dragon race.
As a result, the Dragonblood Legion became an extremely special and sensitive topic. They were humans but possessed dragon blood, which was something countless members of the dragon race were unable to accept.
As a result, many factions started applying pressure on the white dragon race, demanding them to hand over the Dragonblood Legion. Challenges from the so-called heavenly geniuses of the dragon race followed, aimed at humiliating and testing the newcomers.
Unwilling to bow to such disrespect, the Dragonblood Legion met every challenge head-on. Their responses were swift and brutal; many of these self-proclaimed geniuses were defeated—or outright killed—in just a few moves. Each loss struck a blow to the dragon race’s pride, leaving the factions seething with indignation. This drew the attention of even more powerful figures.
Fearing escalation, the white dragon race leader had the Dragonblood Legion retreat into seclusion. While this avoided immediate conflict, it only increased the pressure on the white dragon race, making them the focal point of all the Dragon Domain’s frustrations. However, the white dragon race refused to say a word, just bitterly enduring.
Hearing this, Long Chen felt a surge of urgency. His brothers and sisters were waiting for him. Without wasting more time, he demanded a map from the defeated dragon experts. Before leaving, he kicked every one of them, including the injured three.
“I’ll spare you this time, but grow a brain before the next. Otherwise, you’ll die without even knowing how it happened,” advised Long Chen.
It seemed these dragons had grown dumb from all the in-fighting. The three dragon experts Long Chen had saved could only stare as he left, not knowing whether to be grateful to or hate him.
The beating they had all suffered at Long Chen’s hands, however, extinguished the flames of hatred between the two opposing groups. They exchanged glances before silently parting ways, returning to their respective factions.
Not long after, Long Chen encountered another group of dragon experts. Before they could react, he fixed them with a cold stare and warned:
“If you don’t want to get beaten up, stay away from Boss Long San.”
