His handsome face was covered in wounds, and his lips had been ferociously torn open. When he opened his mouth, you could see all his teeth, a terrifying image.
Yin Luo was both startled and infuriated. Even in his dreams, he had never imagined that Long Chen was a Beast Tamer capable of controlling a fourth rank Magical Beast with only a Blood Condensation cultivation base.
Beast Tamers had powerful Spiritual Strengths. They were able to open a spiritual space and place spiritual marks on Magical Beasts to make them their slaves.
The terror of Beast Tamers did not need to be doubted. But no matter how powerful a Beast Tamer was, they all had one fatal weak point. That was that other than their powerful Spiritual Strength, they had essentially zero attacking power.
Their physical bodies were all extremely weak. That had been a fact that had never been contested in all of history.
Back during the Righteous and Corrupt battle, Yin Luo had been sneak attacked by Little Snow, but at that time, he had never suspected that Little Snow was connected to Long Chen.
Long Chen’s body was abnormally powerful. How could such a person possibly be a physically weak Beast Tamer?
None of Long Chen’s trump cards had ever startled Yin Luo. Only this Beast Tamer status of his was out of his expectations.
If he hadn’t cultivated the Illusory Bone Robe, a secret technique of the Corrupt path, in the past few months, he would already be dead.
He had previously tested the power of his Illusory Bone Robe. Even a full force attack from an eight-temper Bone Forging expert was unable to do anything to it.
But that incredibly firm Illusory Bone Robe was only able to block less than half of Little Snow’s attack before exploding.
Originally, he had been planning on crushing Long Chen like he was a bug. But now he had almost died to him. How could he not be infuriated?
“DIE!” Yin Luo roared, and a black rune lit up on his forehead. His injuries were actually quickly healing at a rate visible to the naked eye. His spear once more smashed down at Long Chen.
Long Chen hastily went to block. He was horrified to realize that Yin Luo had now used some sort of secret technique to temporarily suppress his injuries. His strength hadn’t dropped in the slightest.
That spear of his contained a mountain-crushing strength. Long Chen was unable to block it and was sent flying back, crashing into Little Snow’s body.
Then Little Snow was also picked up and sent flying by that terrifying strength. Long Chen vomited blood. Now the difference between him and Yin Luo was too wide.
Even with the FengFu Battle Armor and divine ring, he was unable to block Yin Luo’s berserk power, and his internal organs were all heavily injured.
Little Snow also wasn’t much better off. That explosion of wind blades had covered him in wounds due to being too close. Some of his injuries went down to the bone. If the cuts on his abdomen were any wider, it would be possible to see his insides.
Defense was Little Snow’s weak point. The main thing was that Long Chen had underestimated Little Snow’s attack strength, which had caused this mishap.
“Little Snow, let’s run!” Long Chen suddenly jumped on Little Snow’s back, using his Spiritual Strength to communicate with him. They were currently unable to defeat Yin Luo. If this continued, they would definitely be the ones to die.
Although there were dozens of Righteous disciples watching to the side, Long Chen didn’t hope for them to come to help. The fact that they also hadn’t moved to attack him was already enough for him to count his blessings.
Watching the situation and finding an opportunity to run was the way of the king. Although the will in his soul didn’t want him to run, Long Chen wouldn’t let himself be controlled like that. He was Long Chen, not a Pill Sovereign. He didn’t care about face. He cared about living.
If they did fight it out until the end, it would definitely end in their deaths. Little Snow shot out like a bolt of lightning, fleeing five miles in an instant.
“You want to run? It’s not that easy!” Yin Luo snorted and with a single step, he suddenly appeared close behind them. His speed was absolutely alarming.
Long Chen had thought that with Little Snow’s speed, they would be able to quickly throw off Yin Luo.
He had never imagined Yin Luo could use some sort of footwork to raise his speed to this level. He was not at all inferior to Little Snow.
If Little Snow was still in his peak condition, he would be quite a bit faster than Yin Luo. But right now, Little Snow was covered in injuries. That was greatly impacting his speed.
As for Yin Luo, he was using some sort of secret technique to suppress his injuries. He was quickly catching up.
Long Chen felt a chill. If Yin Luo caught up, then they really might be doomed. With a wave of his hand, a blue ball of flames appeared in his hand.
That flame quickly grew larger as Long Chen poured in more of his flame energy.
When that ball was finally a foot long, its terrifying temperature caused space to warp. The vegetation he passed by was instantly turned to ashes.
“Pill Blaze Swallowing Mountains!”
That ball of flames now contained all of Long Chen’s Pill Flame energy. It flew back at Yin Luo who was close behind, the ground it passed by instantly turning black.
“An ant’s little technique!”
Yin Luo snorted and summoned out that Illusory Bone Robe. He also smashed his spear at that ball of flames.
BOOM!
The flames instantly exploded, and a terrifying wave of heat shot out, broiling all the land for a mile. Even the air seemed to ignite.
That terrifying blaze enveloped Yin Luo, but Yin Luo’s Illusory Bone Robe still kept it blocked on the outside. It was unable to cause him any injuries.
That flame might be powerful, most likely posing a fatal threat to core disciples, but to Favored, it couldn’t count as much, let alone Yin Luo, a Chosen amongst Chosen.
However, Yin Luo knew Long Chen was extremely crafty and didn’t dare be careless. So he had ended up wasting some spiritual qi rather than allowing that flame to reach his body.
But then realizing that the flame was just an ordinary beast flame and posed no threat to him, Yin Luo couldn’t help but snort. Before the flames even scattered, he charged out through the front.
In his eyes, this was just Long Chen’s deathbed struggle. He was just stalling the inevitable. But as soon as he charged out of those flames, his eyes immediately popped open.
A thirty-meter-long lightning spear had suddenly appeared in front of him. A destructive will came from it that caused Yin Luo to feel a chill.
Now he realized why Long Chen would use such a beast flame to attack him. That useless attack of his had been a set-up for this real attack.
Everything had occurred too quickly. He had only just charged out of the flames when that lightning spear reached him. He had no time to dodge, so he could only rely on his own spear to block.
BANG!
That lightning spear smashed heavily into Yin Luo’s spear. At that instant, it completely exploded, and its berserk thunderforce went to devour Yin Luo.
“AHH!” Yin Luo let out a miserable scream. He could block out energy, but he was unable to block thunderforce. After all, Long Chen’s thunderforce came from heaven and earth, and it was extremely berserk.
Yin Luo had originally used a secret technique to suppress his injuries. The instant that berserk energy swept over him, he was unable to suppress them anymore. Those old injuries all opened, his blood splattering.
“LONG CHEN! GET OVER HERE AND DIE!”
Yin Luo had gone completely crazy. Long Chen’s lightning spear had been too powerful.
If it had been at an ordinary time, it wouldn’t have posed any real threat to him. But at this instant, it caused him to be unable to hold back his injuries. If he couldn’t kill Long Chen in a short time now, he wouldn’t have the energy to chase him, and his attempt to kill him this time wo
uld have failed.
Forcibly enduring the intense pain wracking his body, Yin Luo roared angrily, and all his energy exploded out. His speed was pushed to its peak as he rushed at Long Chen.
Long Chen couldn’t help being shocked over and over again. Yin Luo really was too terrifying. Now that Yin Luo was just a moment away, he could only face him head-on. He took out Devil Decapitator, prepared to undergo a final fight.
Suddenly, a huge arrow shot straight at Yin Luo.
Chapter 317 Voidbreaker Crossbow’s Power
Suddenly, a huge arrow shot straight at Yin Luo.
That arrow was three meters long, looking like a spear. There were many grooves on it, and as it flew, there was practically no sound. It was a ghostly arrow.
“Crap!” By the time Yin Luo sensed it, that huge arrow had almost reached his torso.
PFFT!
That huge arrow shot straight through Yin Luo’s shoulder. The power behind it directly broke Yin Luo’s spiritual qi protection and pulverized his shoulder.
Long Chen was delighted and looked into the distance to see Guo Ran holding a crossbow on a mountain ten miles away.
During the previous months, Guo Ran had consumed all the medicinal pills Long Chen had specially refined for him. His cultivation base had already reached the sixth Heavenstage of Tendon Transformation.
Furthermore, Long Chen had given him medicinal pills that had strengthened his physical body. Now he was able to use his crossbow without feeling any pressure.
Back when Long Chen and Yin Luo had started fighting, Guo Ran had immediately recognized that familiar aura and rushed over.
He had arrived just in time to see Long Chen being chased by Yin Luo. He had hastily taken out his crossbow, and after calculating Yin Luo’s speed into the equation, he had shot out his practically divine arrow.
Although Guo Ran didn’t possess a powerful martial strength himself, his crossbow was something he had personally made, and now he was able to control it down to the slightest detail.
That allowed him to break Yin Luo’s shoulder. And that was only because Yin Luo was so powerful. If it had been a random Favored, they would definitely have been killed by Guo Ran’s arrow.
Guo Ran couldn’t help but feel regretful that he hadn’t killed Yin Luo with his arrow. If he could have used a single arrow to kill a once-in-a-thousand-year genius, his name would definitely have spread like wildfire.
“Nice!” Long Chen gave Guo Ran a thumbs-up. Guo Ran’s arrow really had been perfect. His angle and timing had all been perfect, and it had been impossible to defend against it.
Any Chosen might have died to that kind of attack. That was because even Long Chen hadn’t noticed the arrow until it had arrived.
Yin Luo’s shoulder was badly mangled, and even his bones were visible.
The Voidbreaking Crossbow and its arrows were extremely terrifying, causing Yin Luo to sweat in fright. If his reaction had been slightly slower, his chest would have been pierced straight through.
Although he wouldn’t die from that, he would have instantly lost all of his combat ability. He would only have been able to flee miserably.
A faint sound like that of a housefly’s buzzing rang out as another huge arrow shot at Yin Luo.
This arrow shot out like lightning, but the sound of it flying was incredibly minute. Even Yin Luo was shocked.
However, this time he was prepared. No matter how fast this arrow was, it was unable to threaten him.
His spear swung and destroyed the arrow. He icily glanced at Guo Ran for a moment before ignoring him to continue chasing after Long Chen.
Long Chen was already several miles away. In his eyes, killing Long Chen was more important than anything else.
Yin Luo was extremely fast. Despite being covered in blood and that heavy injury to his shoulder, his speed was still greater than the injured Little Snow. He quickly caught up to them.
Guo Ran once more shot out an arrow, but it was still broken by Yin Luo’s spear. Guo Ran knew that his Voidbreaking Arrows were only powerful in terms of sneak attacks. Once someone was on guard, it no longer posed any threat.
That was especially true against a powerful Chosen like Yin Luo. His arrows were unable to even slow him down now.
“Yin Luo, you idiot, you dare charge into our Righteous path’s territory?! Are you challenging the entire Righteous path?!”
Seeing Yin Luo ignore him to chase after Long Chen, as well as how Little Snow was covered in blood and Long Chen’s grave expression, Guo Ran knew this wasn’t a good situation.
He shouted out as loudly as he could in order to draw over the experts in the vicinity. It would be best if he could draw over Han Tianyu, as then, Yin Luo would be done for.
Yin Luo’s expression sank. Currently, he was just a hundred meters away. Taking a deep breath, the illusory figure behind him disappeared, and a terrifying energy filled heaven and earth.
“Crap, this bastard’s once more using natural energy!” Long Chen was startled. This feeling was far too familiar. That was a power only Xiantian experts were capable of using.
Last time, when Yin Luo had used this kind of power, he had almost obliterated Long Chen and Mo Nian.
As soon as Long Chen saw this posture, he immediately ordered Little Snow to get as far away as possible, while he himself jumped off.
In midair, he pointed Devil Decapitator up at the sky. His divine ring appeared once more, a star floated in his eyes, and all his power poured into his saber.
“Split the Heavens!”
Long Chen’s saber struck down while Yin Luo was still accumulating energy. If Yin Luo managed to complete that preparation, then he and Little Snow would definitely die.
And so Long Chen had instantly decided to interrupt him while he still could, releasing his strongest attack.
Yin Luo’s expression changed when he saw Long Chen attack him the instant he began to accumulate energy. Long Chen really was too crafty. He clenched his teeth furiously, he had no choice but to activate his attack before it was complete. However, this was already enough.
BOOM!
The two weapons collided, and it was as if heaven and earth were being torn apart. Even a hundred miles away, it was possible to feel the earth trembling intensely.
Long Chen flew back like a shooting star, flying straight across the ground for miles while vomiting blood that even contained some of his broken organs.
Long Chen hastily swallowed a healing pill. He quickly rushed back to Little Snow, who had been waiting for him, and Little Snow quickly began to flee away with him.
Tightly holding Little Snow’s fur, Long Chen felt as if all of his bones were about to collapse, and he once more vomited blood.
The attack Yin Luo had used just now was actually ten times stronger than the one he had used last time in the Righteous and Corrupt battle. If Long Chen hadn’t interrupted him before it had reached its peak, causing it to contain less than half its power, he would definitely have died.
This meant Yin Luo’s control over his Xiantian essence blood had greatly improved. That kind of power was far too terrifying.
Long Chen felt as if all his organs had been broken to pieces. That healing pill he had swallowed was actually unable to suppress his terrifying injuries.
Clenching his teeth, he took out a drop of that vivid green liquid and swallowed it. Only then did his broken organs begin to heal.
“I get it now. That bastard’s attack contained natural energy, which brought with it a trace of the will of the heavens. Ordinary medicinal pills do not have much effect on such wounds.”
An attack containing natural energy was just too terrifying. It was no wonder everyone under Xiantian was said to be an ant in comparison. Yin Luo had only managed to control a shred of his Xiantian essence blood to control that slight amount of natural energy.
At this time, Long Chen was filled with gratitude towards that Spirit World expert. The gift she had given him really was too precious.
It had now saved his life as well as the lives of the people around him several times. However, after all this time, he was down to his final drop of her divine life liquid. He would definitely have to properly preserve this last drop. It was something that could save his life.
The sky full of dust finally dissipated, revealing Yin Luo’s pale face. His entire body was now covered in blood.
Long Chen’s last attack had caused him to receive a heavy backlash. That backlash further worsened his countless injuries.
But it was like Yin Luo didn’t sense any pain. He tightly glared in the direction Long Chen had fled.
“You were lucky this time. Next time, I’ll definitely tear you apart piece by piece.”
Bang!
Yin Luo’s spear once more swung out, destroying a silent arrow. He stared icily in the direction of a certain mountain and made a throat-cutting gesture before quickly leaving.
He was now covered in wounds and had lost too much blood and qi. He currently didn’t even possess thirty percent of his regular strength.
Furthermore, he could sense seven or eight powerful auras quickly approaching. During normal times, he naturally wouldn’t be afraid of them. But now he could only run.
Only a couple of breaths after Yin Luo had left, over ten figures appeared in this place, looking at the huge crater that had been left in the ground.
“What a powerful pressure, and what powerful will! There were definitely Chosen fighting here,” said someone who was also a Chosen gravely.
This place was a complete mess. The leftover will here was enough to make him feel a heavy pressure.
“Even after the fight has ended, the leftover will is still so powerful. They were definitely top experts. Could it be that Han Tianyu fought here?”
“Just now I heard someone shout Yin Luo. Could it be that he really came here? Yin Luo fought with Han Tianyu?”
“Impossible. Han Tianyu has already entered deep into the Jiuli secret realm in search of good opportunities. Why would he waste his precious time here on the edges?” One of them had personally seen Han Tianyu rushing deeper into the Jiuli secret realm, so he knew it was impossible for him to be here.
