“Xia Yunfeng, what are you waiting for? Don’t you think you should take the lead to bring your people to kneel before my Grand Han’s princes? Perhaps they’ll be nice and let you live out the rest of your dog lives,” said Li Wanji.
Xia Yunfeng took a deep breath. He shook his head. “Since things have progressed to here, there’s no need to say more. I admit that your Grand Han wins this game of chess. However, don’t get too pleased. After winning this match, we’ll see how your Grand Han survives the fury of the Grand Xia, Grand Chu, and Grand Zhou.
“Warriors of the Grand Xia, we’ve fallen into a trap. We probably won’t be able to get out alive. But if I, Xia Yunfeng, can fight until my last breath with all of you, my brothers, then I have no regrets left. Brothers, take out your weapons! We fight!”
“KILL!” The Grand Xia’s experts erupted into a heaven-shaking roar and charged at the Grand Han’s experts.
Li Wanji sneered. She slowly raised Xia Youluo. As long as anyone approached, she would kill her first.
“Long Chen, will I never see you again?” Xia Youluo closed her eyes and awaited her death. But she had one regret. She would never be able to see that face again.
Xia Yunchong had no way to resist. He would only be able to watch as his little sister died in front of him. He was full of killing intent. He was simply waiting for Xia Youluo to die. Then, he would kill every single one of them as retribution.
Suddenly, a black object shot over like a black shooting star.
Chapter 1219 Smashed To Death By A Pot
The black object shot over without any pressure. Only once it was close did they sense a change in the air behind them.
A black shooting star pierced through the air at incredible speed. They had only just managed to see the black object when it smashed into the back of Li Wanji’s head.
Li Wanji was holding Xia Youluo’s neck and sneering at Xia Yunchong and the others, just waiting for them to get close before killing her so the Grand Xia’s people would see their princess die.
However, she had no idea that something was flying toward her. The black object smashed into her head, instantly blowing it up and annihilating her soul.
It happened so suddenly that no one could react at all. Even the Grand Han’s side hadn’t had a chance to warn Li Wanji before she was killed.
The Grand Xia’s side was also caught off guard by this sudden change, and they paused their attack.
They saw the black object fall to the ground after killing Li Wanji. It spun around a few times.
“A black pot?”
No one could believe what the murder weapon was. But, it really was a black pot. Yes, it was a very, very black pot. And whoever had sent it flying over was also very black-hearted. They had instantly killed a rank eight Celestial.
The black pot looked completely unremarkable. It seemed like it had been made of regular iron. It had no runes, it had no pressure, but it had killed a rank eight Celestial.
“Kill Xia Youluo!”
Han Wenjun was the first to react. Xia Yunchong had already started flying over to Xia Youluo. She was currently falling with Li Wanji’s headless corpse.
At this moment, the closest one to Xia Youluo, Han Bijun, shot after her. He had made the decision not to kill Xia Youluo. Instead, he grabbed her neck, wanting to continue using her as a hostage.
“Fuck your mother!”
Pow!
Just at this moment, a large hand came from an inconceivable angle and viciously slapped across Han Bijun’s face.
The immense force directly caused Han Bijun to explode. Bloody mist filled the air, and his soul was exterminated as well. A new figure appeared where he had been.
“Long Chen!”
The Grand Xia and Grand Han’s sides let out startled cries. But the Grand Xia’s startled cries were delighted, while the Grand Han’s ones were stunned.
He had killed two rank eight Celestials right at the start. Just how domineering was that? He instantly shocked everyone here.
Long Chen reached out and grabbed Xia Youluo. He saw the injuries to her face. She looked incredibly miserable, especially with the clear handprint.
“Sorry, I was late,” said Long Chen.
As soon as Long Chen had left seclusion, he sensed that things had progressed to an extremely urgent point, and he had rushed over as fast as he could. Fortunately, he had arrived in time.
“I knew you would come. I knew it.” Xia Youluo wailed into Long Chen’s embrace, her voice so hoarse that it caused Long Chen pain.
“Alright, that’s enough. You have to steel yourself. It’s not over yet. There’s still going to be a bitter battle ahead.” Long Chen gently rubbed Xia Youluo’s back. His spiritual yuan poured into her body, undoing the seal to her cultivation base. He also gave her a recovery pill.
“Brother Long, you’ve returned… excellent.” Seeing that Xia Youluo had been saved, Xia Yunfeng’s voice was choked with sobs. In his heart, his little sister’s life was more important than his.
“Sorry for the delay. You should prepare yourself. The real battle starts now!”
Long Chen handed Xia Youluo to Xia Yunfeng. Picking up the pot, he flew into the air, Blooddrinker resting on his shoulder and killing intent soaring out of him.
“Idiots from the Bloodkill Hall, ancient races, and Pill Tower, weren’t you just waiting for me to throw myself into your net? Well, I, Long Chen, have already arrived, so come out and face your deaths!” Long Chen’s shout shook the nine heavens.
Terrifying auras began to rise in all directions. Dozens of figures appeared, surrounding everyone.
Seeing these people, Xia Yunfeng, Xia Yunchong, and the others’ expressions completely changed. Now they finally knew what the Grand Han was relying on.
There were over eighty newcomers. Five of them were rank eight Celestials, twenty-seven were rank seven Celestials, and the rest were all rank six Celestials.
The most shocking thing to Xia Yunchong was that the five rank eight Celestials all possessed incredibly terrifying auras, like immovable mountains. He suddenly felt a feeling that he couldn’t possibly defeat them.
When this feeling arose in his heart, Xia Yunchong felt a bit of sadness. He had never had this kind of feeling when facing someone in the same realm as him. He knew that his Dao-heart had been destroyed.
But he didn’t regret it. If he hadn’t knelt and managed to stall, Long Chen wouldn’t have gotten back in time to save his little sister.
“Long Chen, let’s see where you run this time.” The twin Bloodkill Hall assassins icily stared at Long Chen. Clearly, the fact that they hadn’t killed Long Chen last time was their own carelessness. Now, they would definitely kill him to win back their face.
“Idiot, was I the one to run last time?” said Long Chen.
The two of them had no way to reply to that, as last time, they had truly been the ones to flee. If the ancient race experts hadn’t come in time, they might already be dead.
“Long Chen, you’ve repeatedly offended the ancient races. Today, the Four Nations Ancient Remnant will be your burial ground,” said the giant eagle race expert. His eyes glinted coldly, and light blossomed from his body.
At the same time, the elephant race and tiger race experts began to gather their auras, ready for battle.
The three ancient race experts’ auras rose, while the twin Bloodkill Hall assassins had already raised their swords. Terrifying auras locked onto Long Chen.
Long Chen looked over the five of them. His hair and black robes gently blew in the wind. He told the grave Xia Yunchong, “Leave the five of them to me. Do your best to lead the Grand Xia’s men to cut down the remaining fellows.”
Hearing this, the Grand Xia’s experts were all shocked. Although they weren’t rank eight Celestials, they were still elites. They could clearly sense just how terrifying each of those people was. They could not be compared to Li Wanji or Han Bijun or the like. They were true experts, but Long Chen wanted to fight
them one against five.
“Brother Long, let us brothers fight shoulder to shoulder today against these powerful enemies,” said Xia Yunchong. He knew that any one of these five could kill him. That wasn’t entirely just because he had lost his Undefeatable Dao. This was his intuition based on his immense experience.
He had already given up any hope of leaving here alive. He simply wanted to fight and die alongside Long Chen. His only hope was that he would be able to last long enough that Xia Youluo could escape.
“Powerful enemies? They aren’t fit to be called that. Don’t worry, I’m not going to be some hero who dies for others. My life is quite precious. I still have so many lovers and hot-blooded brothers waiting for me to return home. There’s no need to say any more. Take care of that little bastard Han Wenjun. He’s not the old Han Wenjun any longer, so don’t be careless.”
“Divine ring! Four Star Battle Armor!”
BOOM!
It was like a volcano had erupted from within Long Chen’s body. A pillar of qi soared into the sky.
What stunned Xia Yunchong and the others was that in that instant, they were blown back just by his aura.
As the divine ring revolved, heaven and earth trembled intensely, as if the world couldn’t bear Long Chen’s power.
“What? His power has risen to such a terrifying level?!” The twin assassins were shocked.
After fighting Long Chen, they were completely clear on his power. Although he was powerful, he wasn’t their match.
If Long Chen hadn’t used the arm protector and boots to unleash a sudden counterattack, they definitely would have had the power to kill him.
“No, that’s wrong. Last time, his cultivation base was at the fourth Heavenstage, and now he’s at the fifth Heavenstage. But how could one minor realm advancement cause such a huge difference?!” cried the twin assassins.
What they didn’t know was that Long Chen’s cultivation base hadn’t just advanced to the fifth Heavenstage because of the three drops of yuan spirit divine elixir, his physical body had also strengthened a great deal thanks to the Mandara Body Tempering Pills.
The current Long Chen was capable of using all 108,000 immortal platforms in his body to their full effect.
Now he had four qi seas and 108,000 immortal platforms giving him endless energy.
Long Chen’s aura continued to erupt. It felt like he had been stifled for too long, and so he was doing his best to release it all. As his aura rose, the ground began to explode.
The pillar of qi transformed into a coiling dragon charging through the clouds. Cracks spread far into the distance on the ground.
Long Chen was like a battle god slowly releasing his power. As his power was revealed, it felt like the world couldn’t contain him.
In truth, Long Chen had no choice but to slowly release his power. As he didn’t know whether his body could handle his full power, he could only take things step by step.
By the time he had fully released his power, heaven and earth were shaking. Shortly after, that manifestation vanished and the rumbling world returned to calm, replaced by an indescribably dense murderous aura in the air.
Right now, Long Chen was full of confidence. His body was finally able to bear his power!
Just at this moment, a sword silently stabbed toward Long Chen’s back without any warning.
Chapter 1220 Fighting Enemies
A large hand caught the sharp sword of one of the Bloodkill Hall’s assassins.
Long Chen smiled coldly upon catching the sword. He then suddenly pushed it to the side.
Metallic ringing rang out as the sword crashed into the other assassin’s sword. Both the Bloodkill Hall’s assassins’ expressions changed.
A blood-red saber-image erupted into existence before them. The two of them were shocked. They couldn’t comprehend how Long Chen’s reactions were so fast and how he was able to so easily break their combination attack.
Last time, Long Chen had been barely able to stay alive under their attacks. But now he broke their attack in an instant.
What they didn’t know was that as the energy within Long Chen surged, the power of his physical body also greatly improved and he no longer needed to fight with his hands tied. Naturally, his fighting style was different now.
Their swords intersected, blocking the saber. They felt like a mountain had crashed into them, and they were blown back, their arms shaking. They looked at Long Chen with shock.
Long Chen’s current power was far greater than any of their estimations. In this one exchange, they almost coughed up blood.
“Your power’s not bad. Taste one of my fists!”
Suddenly, the elephant race expert attacked. A sea of runes coiled around him, and he smashed a staff at Long Chen.
This elephant race expert had a very large body, and that copper staff was thick enough to be a pillar. As the staff smashed down, it felt like the world was about to smash apart from its power.
Long Chen met it with his saber. Space collapsed and the ground exploded as a terrifying qi wave swept out like a tsunami.
With their weapons locked, the elephant race expert sneered, “Excellent. There aren’t many humans capable of challenging my barbarian elephant race in power. But don’t get too pleased; the power of my barbarian elephant race isn’t something you inferior humans can contend against.”
With a roar, the elephant race expert’s muscles all bulged. Veins popped up all over his body, and it was like a wild animal was roaring within him. Energy exploded out of him in waves.
The two of their weapons were still locked, but the surrounding space was constantly exploding. A huge hole was formed in the ground that was no longer able to endure their power. Now it was so deep that they couldn’t see the bottom.
The barbarian elephant race had a high position, and they specialized in power. Even within the powerful ancient races, they stood at the top when it came to power. He had never heard of any human capable of contending against them.
The barbarian elephant race expert was unleashing unprecedented power, and his aura caused the sky to tremble. He appeared unstoppable. And yet, shockingly, Long Chen’s expression was still completely calm. No matter how the barbarian elephant race expert increased his power, Long Chen remained an immovable mountain.
On the contrary, the barbarian elephant race expert’s arms were shaking due to how much power he was using. He had ended up using his full power already.
He was filled with shock. He could not comprehend how Long Chen’s human body could block his immense power.
“The ancient races’ bragging is always heaven-shaking. But in the end, they don’t have the slightest ability. You’re just hybrids who forget your ancestors. Don’t forget, the human race is your ancestor. You might want to only acknowledge the blood of the Xuan Beasts and look down on the human race, but you don’t even understand why the human race is known as the most spiritual being. Today, I’ll let you see what true power is.”
The 108,000 immortal platforms in Long Chen’s body rapidly revolved. This time, he was pushing his power to the peak in one go instead of slowly raising it.
Instead of a slow trickle from a lake, it was like the entire lake was discharged. This kind of instant eruption of power was something Long Chen wouldn’t have dared to do without the previous test.
Power roared through Long Chen’s arms. It was like a volcano that had been storing up energy for ten thousand years was erupting. The elephant race expert vomited blood and flew back.
All the ancient race experts were shocked. They had never imagined that the barbarian elephant race expert would lose to someone from the human race, and lose so completely at that.
“Attack together!” shouted the eagle race expert. Wielding a lance, the runes on his wings surged and he took the lead in attacking Long Chen.
The tiger race expert beside him roared and then suddenly became illusory. He shot toward Long Chen, his hands becoming sharp tiger claws.
This tiger race expert was a descendant of the Shadow Devil Tiger race, one of the Xuan Beasts. They were all incredibly fast. As for their pair of tiger claws, those were their innate martial weapons and they were incomparably sharp.
The elephant race expert was shocked and furious, his killing intent surging. Long Chen’s power had caused him to lose face.
Facing these three powerful experts, Long Chen definitely would have died if he had been fighting them when he had first entered the secret realm. But now, he had no fear for them. He sent out a single slash.
Although the three of them had attacked at the same time, the huge eagle race expert’s lance had to be six meters long, and he was the closest. Long Chen’s first attack was targeted on him.
The eagle race expert’s body was instantly blown back upon contact with Long Chen’s saber. There was clearly no way for him to resist Long Chen’s power.
Using the arm protector on his left hand, he blocked the elephant race expert’s staff, but as a result, he was knocked back.
However, when the elephant race expert knocked Long Chen back, a bad feeling rose in his heart. He shouted, “Watch out!”
Long Chen had intentionally allowed himself to be knocked back.
But it was too late. Borrowing the elephant race expert’s power, he shot like an arrow at the tiger race expert who was charging toward him.
The tiger race expert had been accumulating power on his way over to Long Chen. His aim had been to store up the perfect amount of energy for when he arrived at Long Chen’s side. But halfway there, Long Chen suddenly appeared in front of him, catching him off guard. Seeing a kick coming toward him, he blocked it with his claws.
As a result, the tiger race expert was sent flying, the bones in his arms broken. He vomited blood and shot back like a shooting star.
It had to be known that Long Chen had borrowed a portion of the elephant race expert’s power and activated his King item boots to shoot over at this speed. If it had been an ordinary rank eight Celestial, this kick would have killed them.
