This Pill Tower expert had some control. He wasn’t completely crazy. He knew he had to leave Long Chen alive, or he’d have simply launched the tiger at them and made it explode, killing the three of them.
“You don’t believe me? Then I’ll show you.”
Long Chen suddenly turned and bent his waist. That posture was just like he was trying to expel toxic gas from his butt. But it just so happened that this movement of his ended up allowing him to dodge the tiger’s claw.
With the claw having missed its mark, it continued onward until it landed on the stone pillar right behind Long Chen. That expert from the Pill Tower immediately turned white, terror filling his eyes. He let out a startled cry.
“No!”
Buzz.
The stone pillar’s runes lit up, and a blood-colored light blew apart the flame tiger, continuing toward that expert.
That Soul Transformation expert didn’t even move. He was directly struck by the light and exploded into bloody mist.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t wanted to move, but that he had been locked down by a kind of mysterious energy and couldn’t move. He had only been able to watch as that light killed him. Not only did it destroy his physical body, but it wiped out his Yuan Spirit as well.
“Now you should all be satisfied!” Only now did Long Chen slowly turn back, making it seem like he really had just let out a fart to kill that Soul Transformation expert.
Everyone was staring dumbly. Even the bosses who were fighting had strange expressions. Long Chen truly didn’t walk an ordinary path. Even with just a fart, he conned a Soul Transformation into dying. He was evil.
Before this, the Second Boss had still been uneasy and afraid for them, so he hadn’t been able to fight freely. That way, he would still be able to save them.
But now, he was completely at ease. That brat was evil, and worrying for him was unnecessary. Instead, he should be worried for these Soul Transformation experts. Running into Long Chen was their bad luck.
Bao Buping and Chang Hao were delighted. There was such a terrifying protective talisman right behind them, but they hadn’t thought of it.
If any of these Soul Transformation experts tried to approach them, they would be approaching the stone pillars, and then they wouldn’t dare to unleash their full power. If they touched the stone pillars, they would die.
“Long Chen, take a break. I also want to stand out a bit.” Seeing that Long Chen had displayed such divine power, Bao Buping hastily pulled him back and walked forward.
Bao Buping stuck his chest out and loftily cursed, “You little brats, your daddy is right here! Hurry up and send yourselves to your deaths! Long Chen’s fart only managed to kill one of you; that’s nothing. As long as I try a bit, one of my farts can kill all of you at once! Little brats, your daddy will give you a display as to what it means to shake the heavens with a single fart!”
Watching Bao Buping mess around like this, Long Chen was speechless. Did he really think they had no brains and would fall for the same trick twice?
“Junior, you’re courting death!” One of the ancient race experts couldn’t bear it and charged forward furiously. At this time, Bao Buping had his butt raised high into the air, so naturally the ancient race expert immediately sent a kick to his butt.
“Fool, when it comes to kicking butts, you can’t possibly match my family’s old boss.” Bao Buping sneered and suddenly his arms came out from under his crotch. Using this extremely strange posture, he caught that person’s ankle.
Bao Buping had been getting his butt kicked from a young age. He was skilled in thirty-six different defensive postures and seventy-two ways to dodge. Moreover, he had over a hundred techniques for counter-attacking. This was all the result of the training with the bosses. As for that Soul Transformation expert, when would he have ever encountered such a bizarre technique? He was instantly caught. Shocked, he was just about to start struggling.
“Get going!”
Bao Buping swung his arms, and borrowing the power of that person’s kick, he flung him into the stone pillar behind him.
The Soul Transformation expert instinctively circulated his spiritual yuan to form a defensive barrier around him.
“Don’t!”
The other Soul Transformation experts let out a startled warning. If he didn’t circulate his spiritual yuan, touching the stone pillar wouldn’t be dangerous. But with his spiritual yuan circulating around him, crashing into the stone pillar would be viewed as an attack. Regretfully, it was too late.
That Soul Transformation expert smashed into the stone pillar, and the pillar’s runes once more lit up. That Soul Transformation expert blew up like he was made of tofu. Even his Yuan Spirit was slain.
A second Soul Transformation expert had died in just a few breaths. As for Long Chen’s group of three, these experts hadn’t even managed to harm one of their hairs.
Long Chen stared at the Sovereign Blood Seal, lost in thought. When those two Soul Transformation experts were slain, he had stopped the primal chaos bead from absorbing their Heavenly Dao energy.
When he carefully sensed it, he found that those two fallen Soul Transformation experts’ Heavenly Dao energy really was absorbed by the Sovereign Blood Seal. Did this mean the Sovereign Blood Seal still had more strange secrets?
Right now, Bao Buping was staring blankly at the foot remaining in his hand. A Soul Transformation expert had been killed by him. He almost couldn’t believe it.
“Uh, that happened a bit too quickly. Which one of you wants to help me out so I can experience it again? I want to conscientiously experience it.” Bao Buping tossed the foot to the ground and turned to the distant, shocked Soul Transformation experts.
“Hey, don’t be so cruel. No matter how you put it, it should be my turn now.” Chang Hao refused to allow this. The first one had been Long Chen, and the second had been Bao Buping. So the third one should be him.
“Ah, alright then. Well, raise your butt. Yes, just like that. Wait, a bit higher. Yes, that’s the right angle. Yup, if you stand like this, they’ll quickly come and kick you.” Bao Buping began to assist Chang Hao and adjust his angle like an old master, helping him raise his butt high toward the Soul Transformation experts.
“Hey, why aren’t you coming? Raising my butt like this is very tiring. Hurry up.” After waiting for a while, seeing that no one came, Chang Hao shouted at them.
The Soul Transformation experts’ faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot. Killing intent was exploding out of their eyes, and their teeth were clenched so hard that they almost shattered. If it weren’t for the stone pillar, they’d annihilate the three of them with a single attack. These three fellows were too hateful. They had never encountered anyone as hateful as them.
Long Chen expressionlessly watched as those two put on a show. At first, he thought that they were just intentionally infuriating the Soul Transformation experts. But now, seeing their serious expressions, he felt like he had overestimated their heads. In truth, they were serious. This kind of intelligence was something Long Chen had no choice but to prostrate himself toward with admiration.
Furthermore, being serious made their provocation ten times more effective than someone faking it. Those Soul Transformation experts were so furious their eyes were turning green. Long Chen even saw some of the ancient race experts with their hair standing on end like they would explode.
He sighed inside. Life was like a play that required acting. But no matter how realistic your acting was, it was still fake. When those two acted seriously, they could definitely infuriate people to death. This kind of ability was something he would probably never be able to learn in his lifetime.
“I can’t hold back any longer!” Suddenly, one of the ancient race experts shot over like a furious lion, sending a punch at Chang Hao.
It could be said that he hadn’t completely lost his reasoning. At least, he was sending a punch instead of a kick.
BOOM!
Chang Hao su
ddenly raised a foot, kicking at his fist. However, even without using his aura, that Soul Transformation expert’s punch was extremely powerful, and it knocked Chang Hao back several steps.
“I’ll smash you brats-” The ancient race expert let out a heaven-shaking roar.
Pow!
Halfway through his roar, his face was suddenly struck by a slap. The immense power behind the slap caused half his face to cave in and his blood to fly.
Long Chen had finally taken action. This slap sent the expert flying, and the direction he sent was perfectly toward Bao Buping.
“Haha, the food has come!” Bao Buping laughed and slashed his sword down.
Pfft!
Blood splashed as that Soul Transformation expert’s head exploded under Bao Buping’s sword.
Chapter 1278 We Will Definitely Come Back!
Blood splashed as another Soul Transformation expert was slain due to his own carelessness.
Three Soul Transformation experts had died. Although this couldn’t count as a heaven-shaking matter, it wasn’t insignificant either. But here, the deaths of these experts couldn’t even cause a ripple.
For three powerful Soul Transformation experts to die here because of their carelessness was truly beyond belief. And their deaths were exceptionally sad. They were cut down by three brats only in the Foundation Forging realm. Such deaths were too vexing.
At this time, the other Soul Transformation experts also charged forward, but they were all acting carefully. They didn’t use any magical arts. All they dared to do was use physical power and their weapons.
One of the ancient race experts clenched his teeth and charged at Long Chen, slashing his saber down.
“Competing in power?” Long Chen sneered inside. He also slashed his saber out, clashing with the ancient race expert’s blade.
The ancient race expert was actually blown back and crashed into another ancient race expert behind him. Both of them tumbled back into the distance.
When it came to pure physical strength, after undergoing the baptism of the Heaven Earth Divine Pool, Long Chen’s power had reached a level that even he himself feared. Perhaps if a Soul Transformation expert used their full power, Long Chen would still have some trouble handling it, but he had no fear for any of them when competing in pure power.
He had only just blown back one of them when another expert stabbed a sword at him. That was an elder wearing the Righteous path’s robes. He was incredibly quick and struck from a crafty angle that showed he was an expert in using a sword. He stabbed his sword straight at Long Chen’s ribs.
But what shocked that elder was that when his sword struck Long Chen, it was like it had stabbed into the hide of a dragon. The tip of his sword pierced in three inches before he could no longer move it.
“Watch out!”
Someone gave him a warning, but it was too late. Long Chen intentionally took his attack just to land his own.
Originally, this Soul Transformation expert had been completely confident that once his sword stabbed into Long Chen, his vast spiritual yuan would instantly seal all of Long Chen’s meridians, allowing him to easily capture him alive.
That was why he had completely ignored Long Chen’s saber when attacking Long Chen. Instead, he had been full of disdain at Long Chen’s actions.
But with his sword in Long Chen’s body, his expression suddenly changed when he started circulating his spiritual yuan. He found that the spiritual yuan he poured into Long Chen’s body seemed to be instantly absorbed.
Based on the difference in cultivation realms, a Foundation Forging cultivator’s spiritual yuan capacity could be likened to a cup, while a Soul Transformation cultivator’s spiritual yuan capacity would be like a water tank.
But this Soul Transformation expert felt his spiritual yuan pouring into Long Chen’s body like a stream flowing into a sea. There wasn’t even the slightest ripple. How was he supposed to seal Long Chen’s acupuncture points like this?
Just as he was filled with shock, Long Chen didn’t give him any chance to recover. His saber slashed through his opponent’s waist, cutting him in two.
This Soul Transformation expert had a powerful physical body. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to block the power in Long Chen’s saber and would have instantly exploded.
Despite being cut in two, that Soul Transformation expert didn’t panic. His upper body flew into the air and formed hand seals. He used Heavenly Dao energy to reconnect his body.
But just at this moment, a broadsword smashed through the back of his head, causing it to blow up. Bao Buping sneered, “Stop wasting our time. Just die.”
Even in this intense battle, Bao Buping had managed to grasp hold of this opportunity to take the life of a Soul Transformation expert.
With his head gone, a translucent figure appeared out of his body. It was his Yuan Spirit.
This was a powerful point of the Soul Transformation realm. In this realm, even if a person’s physical body was destroyed, their Yuan Spirit could survive on its own, giving them the chance to seize another person’s body and be reborn.
However, that Yuan Spirit had only just flown out when a hand of flame caught it and sucked it into a bottle.
“This is good stuff to Cloud. Can’t waste it,” laughed Long Chen. He directly put away that Soul Transformation expert’s Yuan Spirit.
The Soul Devouring Violet Flame was extremely effective against souls, so that Soul Transformation expert’s Yuan Spirit didn’t even have a chance to resist before being put away.
Soul Transformation experts could condense Yuan Spirits, but not everyone had powerful Yuan Spirits. For example, the ancient races’ Yuan Spirits were normally very weak.
Sometimes, an attack didn’t even need to contain a spiritual aspect to destroy their Yuan Spirits. So the ancient races had a tough time when it came to this aspect.
“Bastard, you say you aren’t a Heaven-Seizer, yet you gather people’s Yuan Spirits! You’re even more evil than the Corrupt path!” roared a Righteous expert.
Long Chen’s saber danced, blocking the attack of three Soul Transformation experts. He sneered, “So what if I gather your Yuan Spirits? Aren’t you trying to capture me in the same way? Just how much crap is in your heads?”
Long Chen’s principles were simple. Anyone who attacked him or tried to take his life would have to be prepared to be killed by him. He didn’t feel any guilt about this.
After continuous Soul Transformation experts were slain, the remaining ones all realized the danger. These three fellows were too powerful, and they definitely couldn’t treat them as ordinary Foundation Forging experts.
That was especially true now when they didn’t dare to use any magical arts or big moves. Relying purely on their physical bodies, they were at a disadvantage. Long Chen’s group of three seemed like Magical Beasts in human form. Even the ancient race experts weren’t able to match them in physical strength.
As for Long Chen’s group of three, they were used to this kind of fighting. Chang Hao and Bao Buping managed to kill two Soul Transformation experts as well. With their battle intent soaring, they were just about to unleash their auras when Long Chen sent them a warning not to, dumbfounded them. Although they didn’t understand, they had absolute trust in Long Chen, so they continued fighting this way.
It went without saying that the three of them truly possessed terrifying physical bodies. That was especially true of Long Chen. In just a few breaths’ time, he killed four Soul Transformation experts. In exchange, he ended up covered in blood.
“Wait, why are we fighting like this? We’ll be fine as long as we don’t use any magical arts! Why bother suppressing our auras?” Just as the thirteenth Soul Transformation expert was slain, one of them let out a startled cry.
The others only now realized that he was right. As long as they didn’t touch the stone pillars, they would be fine. Why did they have to suppress their auras?
In truth, they had just been scared witles
s by the Sovereign Blood Seal, as well as infuriated to the point that they became muddleheaded by Long Chen’s group of three. Only now did they realize the truth. The ones who had died would probably be filled with regret if they ever learned of this.
Bao Buping and Chang Hao now understood why Long Chen hadn’t let them release their auras. It was to not remind these stupid people.
“Damnit, you crafty little brats!” One of the ancient race experts roared furiously. His Heavenly Dao runes appeared behind him, and a heavy pressure descended upon Long Chen’s group of three. He was actually a rank seven Celestial.
Following him, the other ancient race experts also unleashed their auras, summoning their Cries of the Heavenly Daos. Their combat power rapidly rose.
Bao Buping and Chang Hao also unleashed their auras. The pressure of rank eight Celestials shot out.
However, their cultivation bases were too low to suppress their enemies’ Heavenly Dao energy. Foundation Forging, Jade Core, Soul Transformation. There were two major realms between them. Furthermore, they were surrounded. They immediately lost the ability to fight evenly against the group of Soul Transformation experts.
Seeing that the Soul Transformation experts had finally seen the truth, Long Chen had a bad feeling. After just a few exchanges, he knew they couldn’t keep fighting.
With their current power, perhaps in a one against one, they would be able to fight against Soul Transformation experts, but with this many of them unleashing their auras, even though they didn’t dare to use magical arts or any big moves, Long Chen’s group of three weren’t capable of handling it. It would just be a few more seconds before they would be beaten into dead dogs.
“Beat it!” Long Chen fiercely slashed his saber out, using his full power.
The Soul Transformation experts around him were forced back. Thereafter, Long Chen grabbed Bao Buping and Chang Hao who were already panting and fled into Devil Spirit Mountain’s entrance, instantly vanishing.
