Following those people’s cursing, the ten-plus group ended up hesitating. Some of them actually returned amongst the rest of the Righteous experts. In the end, only three people came to help Long Chen.
“You cowards, I curse your ancestors. You’ve lost all the face of the Righteous path!” cursed one of the three.
Those three ignored those uncaring bastards and came to Yue Xiaoqian’s side. They took out their weapons, prepared to fight to the death.
Although they knew this action of theirs was impulsive, there was a voice that told them even if they had to die, they had to protect their pride. They couldn’t become an unrivaled hero like Long Chen, but they could use their lives to prove the true reason they had begun cultivating.
Seeing only three people go help, Long Chen didn’t feel any disappointment. In fact, he smiled slightly. There were still some hot-blooded people in the Righteous path.
“Kill!” The Corrupt experts charged toward Yue Xiaoqian’s group of four. At the same time, Yu Changhao took out a golden bow. That was the true weapon of the Feather race.
Yu Changhao was always a conceited person. Others thought the Feather race’s strongest point was their archery skills, but when he fought with others, he practically never used archery. That was because he had always maintained an unrivaled record against experts in the same realm.
But this record had first been broken when Leng Yueyan had almost stabbed through his head, and then been broken by Long Chen’s resounding consecutive face-slaps. He finally took out his true weapon.
Having taken out this bow, Yu Changhao was incredibly furious. This represented that he had lost to Long Chen in a close-range battle.
“Die!” He pulled the bow. Countless runes condensed, absorbing heaven and earth’s energy to form a huge golden arrow.
The arrow shot out with a thunderous rumbling. Its light was dazzling and imposing.
BOOM! Long Chen swung his broadsword. A sword-image slashed onto the arrow, destroying it. But Long Chen was startled as its power caused his arms to feel a bit numb.
Seeing Yu Changhao once more pulling back his bow, Long Chen snorted. His wings flapped, and he activated the Lightning Body Blink. He appeared right in front of Yu Changhao in practically an instant, his sword slashing down.
He was incredibly quick, arriving in front of him before he could release his second arrow. His bow suddenly turned, and he actually used it to block his sword.
A strange sound rang out. Long Chen felt a bizarre force knock him back. He was startled. Yu Changhao was actually skilled in long-range and close-range battle with a bow.
Just as he was knocked back, a huge bone claw came toward him.
BOOM! He slashed his broadsword against Xue You’s attack, relying on the rebound force to dodge Yu Changhao’s second arrow.
Long Chen pushed the Lightning Body Blink to its max. He instantly arrived beside Xue You. Because the Evil Dragon Bone Claw had just been knocked away, Xue You couldn’t use it to defend. Long Chen wanted to take advantage to kill Xue You right here.
Of the three of them, Xue You was the weakest in close-range combat. To kill him, the best way was in close-range.
Seeing Long Chen suddenly appear beside him, Xue You’s expression changed. He had personally experienced how dangerous Long Chen was at close range. But even if he wanted to retreat, it was too late. He didn’t possess Long Chen’s terrifying speed.
He hastily blocked with his black sword. As a result, he was caught in a dangerous situation, and after barely managing to block two attacks, the third one almost slashed onto his shoulder, causing him to turn pale.
If he was struck, then the power within Long Chen’s broadsword would immediately erupt within his body. He didn’t have a powerful physical body like Yu Changhao.
“Brother Xue You, don’t panic. I’ll help!” With Long Chen fighting Xue You at close range, Yu Changhao couldn’t use his long-range attacks in case he hit the wrong person. He shot forward, using his bow as a weapon that stabbed toward Long Chen’s heart.
Long Chen took half a step back, not wanting to take Yu Changhao’s bow head-on. That bow was strange and was able to rebound a person’s power.
With Yu Changhao’s help, Xue You finally caught a breather. He once more sent the bone claw to attack Long Chen. The three of them fought an intense battle in the air.
The Corrupt disciples below had already arrived in front of Yue Xiaoqian’s group of four. The four of them defended with their lives.
But those three were just ordinary rank two Celestials. In front of this many experts, they were only able to miserably retreat.
Fortunately, Yue Xiaoqian was helping them, which was the only reason they were still alive. Furthermore, the ones attacking them were only rank two Celestials. The rank three Celestials were at the back providing support.
They all knew Xue You wanted to capture her alive. So they didn’t dare to go too far and make her kill herself. This way, they would leave her the slightest hope, and once she was exhausted, they would pounce.
The four of them were rapidly retreating. Suddenly, they found their backs against a formation and were unable to continue backing up.
“Bastards, who set up this formation?! Are you trying to capture us all?!” raged a Righteous expert.
Yue Xiaoqian smiled slightly and said, “The decision you made today makes me happy. You’ve saved yourselves.”
“What?” The three of them were startled.
Before they understood what was happening, Xue Xiaoqian extended her hand. A soft force transmitted through their bodies, and they suddenly felt like space was twisting around them. They coughed up blood.
But after that, they suddenly realized they were in that original room, looking at the mountain. The mountain had once more shrunk into a small hill in their eyes.
“It’s handled!” Yue Xiaoqian suddenly waved at Long Chen.
“Good, then go ahead and slaughter them,” responded Long Chen.
Long Chen’s words had just rang out when Yue Xiaoqian’s sword released thousands of rays of sword-light. Sword Qi ravaged the Corrupt experts.
“What?!” The three Righteous experts were all startled upon seeing that scene. Yue Xiaoqian was actually this terrifying? Ordinary rank two Celestials were cut down like wheat in front of her. Did someone as powerful as her really need the three of them to protect her?
“I get it! Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen was saving us!” One of them suddenly slapped his leg.
They suddenly realized why Long Chen had asked them to help her. In truth, Long Chen had been intent on saving whoever that helped. Because they had stood by him, he had asked Yue Xiaoqian to send them to safety outside the formation.
“In truth, he wanted to save everyone. He gave all the Righteous experts a chance. But regretfully, they didn’t grab it.” One person shook his head.
“Regret my ass. Fuck those idiots, they thought they could act aloof. They deserve to die. Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen wanted to save us, and they cursed him for being a show-off? Fuck their mothers,” cursed another more explosive fellow.
Now that Yue Xiaoqian was attacking, everyone jumped in shock. Those rank three Celestials immediately pounced forward, realizing that they had been played.
“Cold Moon Slash!”
An elegant crescent moon appeared in the air. Following the movement of Yue Xiaoqian’s sword, that thirty-meter moon turned into a beautiful ray of light that charged into their midst. One ordinary rank three Celestial was killed despite blocking with a Treasure item.
“That’s a magical art, be careful!” warned one person. Regretfully, it was too late. That crescent moon instantly killed over a dozen experts, two of them being rank three Celestials.
“Bastard, what’s going on?!” raged Xue You. He had never expected Yue Xiaoqian to be so terrifying.
Yu Changhao shouted, “Ancient races, assist the Corrupt path in killing that woman! Conveniently, you can slaughter th
ose idiots who’re just watching the fun!”
Hearing Yu Changhao’s words, the Righteous experts turned green with terror.
Chapter 876 World Extermination Hibiscus
“Run!”
The first reaction of the Righteous experts was to flee. Their little bit of power was nothing in front of the ancient race experts.
“Ahh!”
One of the Feather race’s experts suddenly shot an arrow, instantly killing a fleeing Righteous expert. Even his spatial ring shattered with him. But once his spatial ring broke, two Treasure items appeared in the air.
According to reason, when spatial rings were destroyed, whatever was inside would be drawn into chaotic space and disappear forever from this world.
However, Treasure items were different. That person’s Treasure items were average, and their spirituality wasn’t high enough. According to a human’s intelligence level, low grade Treasure items were like fools.
Originally, Treasure items weren’t things that could be stored in spatial rings that hadn’t reached the Treasure item level. But Treasure items with low intelligence could be stored in a spatial ring. When a spatial ring broke, they would instinctively sense the danger and escape from it. After all, even if the Treasure items were fools, they were still extremely powerful.
But these two were clearly fools. After escaping from the spatial ring, they just floated there, not knowing what to do.
The Feather race expert was the fastest. His wings flapped, and he practically instantly took those two Treasure items. He was delighted. As expected, the fastest way to get rich was to kill people and take their treasures.
Seeing him obtain two Treasure items just by killing one person, all the ancient race experts turned red-eyed. It had to be known that opening a coffin to obtain a Treasure item took a great deal of time. But now, it was too easy. He had obtained two Treasure items in just a breath. All the ancient race experts roared and charged at the Righteous experts like berserk beasts.
“Heavens, there’s a barrier here! Fuck, what bastard set up this trap?!” raged the Righteous experts.
At the same time, they suddenly thought of how when Xue You had been subduing the Evil Dragon Bone Claw, there had been dozens of people guarding him. Quite a few of them had slipped away like ghosts.
Now that they thought of that, they immediately realized that it was the Corrupt path’s doing. They had long since placed their sights on them and set up this trap to take the treasures they had obtained.
“AHH!”
“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, save us!”
Under the killing of the ancient race experts, the Righteous experts were like fat sheep surrounded by hungry wolves. In their despair, the only thing they could do was beg Long Chen for help.
“You had a chance to save yourselves, but you gave it up. Who are you complaining to? If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for acting like nothing matters unless it involves you!” Yue Xiaoqian’s voice resounded throughout. Even surrounded by Corrupt experts, she still had it so easy. Her sword flew through the air, and even rank three Celestials were unable to menace her. She slaughtered them, conveniently picking up their Treasure items.
Hearing her words, the Righteous experts immediately despaired. They only had two rank three Celestials, and they weren’t even innate rank three Celestials.
In front of eight innate rank three Celestials and over twenty ordinary ones, they were like turtles trapped in a jar. Death was their only option.
“Bastard, how can you not help because of some little hostility? As a Righteous expert, is your heart so narrow? When everyone’s in a crisis, we should be united!” shouted one of the Righteous path’s rank three Celestials. He saw that Long Chen was fighting evenly against both Xue You and Yu Changhao. Furthermore, Yue Xiaoqian seemed to have it easy against the Corrupt experts. If she came to help, perhaps there would be a bit of hope for them.
Long Chen couldn’t even be bothered to look at such a person. He just treated it as a dog farting. As for Yue Xiaoqian, she was so infuriated that she couldn’t even speak.
“You fuckers, do you even have any face?” They didn’t speak, but one of the more easily angered fellows that Yue Xiaoqian had sent out cursed. Smoke was about to come out of his head. “Fuck, when senior apprentice-brother Long Chen asked you for help, you just stood by like you didn’t even know him. Now he’s fighting against two peak experts and you still want him to help you? And you want to play the moral game? Fuck your mother, are your heads full of shit?”
That angry fellow felt like he might explode. He directly went up to the barrier and smashed it, cursing. The other two hastily tried to pull him back, but they were one step too late. When he viciously smashed the barrier, the barrier launched a counterattack that covered him in blood. But he still cursed them.
This barrier was strange. The people inside couldn’t see what was outside, but it didn’t block sound. They clearly heard his cursing, and the sound volume was increased by ten times.
The Righteous experts were speechless. They had previously sneered at the three of them for going to Yue Xiaoqian’s aid, saying that once they were dead, they would make sure to bury their corpses.
Now it seemed like they would become the corpses, and they wouldn’t even have any corpses left. The ancient race experts were vicious, and they wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer.
“Run to that woman!” shouted a Righteous expert suddenly.
During this calamity, they wanted to borrow Yue Xiaoqian’s power to relieve the pressure. Even if they couldn’t escape, they could live a bit longer. Perhaps if something unexpected happened, they might be able to get away.
“Abominable. These sons of bitches!” said the three people outside clearly.
At the same time, they saw that more people had reached this place and were looking at the battle on the hill with shock. After all, this place wasn’t very concealed. It was easy to find. There were already dozens of people around, and some had already activated photographic jades.
Seeing the Righteous experts’ shamelessness, fury soared in Yue Xiaoqian’s eyes. She had never seen such contemptible people.
Although the Righteous experts’ idea was good, their power was lacking. In the face of dozens of rank three Celestials, they were almost exterminated before they could arrive beside Yue Xiaoqian.
The ancient races were also greedy fellows. In their eyes, the Righteous experts were a flock of fat sheep. If they managed to reach the Corrupt path that was fighting Yue Xiaoqian, then all the treasures would end up in their hands. So they were even more urgent than the Righteous experts.
“Ahh!”
A Righteous rank three Celestial had only just reached Yue Xiaoqian when a Corrupt expert slashed his sword at him. He blocked that sword, but as a result, he was killed by an ancient race expert.
The ancient race expert was extremely fast, instantly snatching that person’s spatial ring. The Corrupt expert glared furiously, but the ancient race expert laughed and ignored him.
“The trash is cleaned up now. Hurry and capture that woman!” shouted Yu Changhao. He and Xue You were unable to defeat Long Chen quickly. He was too strong, and his power seemed to be endless. Even one against two in such an intense battle, he didn’t reveal the slightest opening. Each of his moves were fierce and powerful, and if they revealed an opening, they might receive a sudden attack from Long Chen.
Xue You had fought Long Chen before, but now Long Chen was stronger than back then, so much stronger that he could barely believe it. But he had his own thoughts. He didn’t go all-out attacking. Instead, he was trying to familiarize himself with the Evil Dragon Bone Claw.
Long Chen easily saw through Xue You’s thoughts. As for that idiot Yu Changhao, he had been duped. He thought that Xue You was only at this level, and he was fighting all-out. The majority of Long Chen’s attacks were blocked by him.
Long Chen sneered and didn’t expose him. Although Y
u Changhao was powerful, he didn’t have the slightest brains. He was just an arrogant idiot, and Long Chen continued to fight it out in terms of endurance.
While Long Chen handled them, Yue Xiaoqian was completely surrounded by everyone.
“Xiaoqian, go ahead and kill them all!” Long Chen sent Yue Xiaoqian a spiritual message.
Having received that, the runes revolving around Yue Xiaoqian’s body suddenly changed. Divine light circulated, and her runes took the shape of a huge flower behind her.
The experts attacking Yue Xiaoqian were startled. They had originally thought that Yue Xiaoqian was summoning a kind of manifestation, but they suddenly found that this flower appeared to be alive.
The flower condensed onto Yue Xiaoqian’s forehead. Her sword touched the center of the flower, and a terrifying light erupted. The flower’s light was glaring and blinding.
“Not good! Run!”
These experts finally realized something was wrong and hastily retreated. They sensed a terrifying pressure from that flower.
“The lotus flower lives in the mud. The hibiscus breaks through the water. The leaves grow, the flower blossoms, the pith condenses.” Following Yue Xiaoqian’s chanting, the flower rapidly blossomed, and the pith formed of runes appeared. It was dream-like, and it was hard to tell if it was real or fake. “World Extermination Hibiscus, Bloom!”
The flower suddenly shook. The world instantly became still.
Endless rainbow light suddenly erupted. It was beautiful and bizarre, instantly devouring everything within a hundred miles.
Anyone touched by that light had their body ripped to shreds. Blood filled the air, as if this was a hell on earth.
“What a terrifying attack!” Even Long Chen was startled. Yue Xiaoqian was actually this powerful. This move of hers was truly terrifying, and most terrifying of all was how quickly she was able to use such a move.
Other than a few rank three Celestials that were still struggling, not a single rank two Celestial survived.
Furthermore, those rank three Celestials had only managed to escape because they had Treasure items protecting their bodies and had retreated fast enough upon sensing the danger. They hadn’t been in the core region of her attack.
