Off? He was pursuing her, but Mo Nian’s method of doing so was truly a bit off. He didn’t know how to be subtle at all.
Mo Nian was currently acting like he would be working together with Ye Lingshan forever in the future, but Ye Lingshan knew that he was the main descendant of the Mo family and couldn’t possibly become her subordinate. However, he was acting devoted and faithful to her, dumbfounding her. She actually didn’t connect it to a romantic sentiment.
“Is he off? Maybe a bit, but it’s understandable. Someone who spends all day robbing tombs probably doesn’t spend much time interacting with the living. You’ll get used to it,” said Long Chen.
During the next few days, the experts of the Martial Heaven Alliance learned what a true expert was.
When Mo Nian exchanged pointers with them, he wouldn’t even use a weapon. He would fight against divine items with his bare hands. He would defeat his opponents with one move. Even the strongest expert amongst them only lasted three moves.
Quite a few people had challenged him at the start, but after Mo Nian beat a hundred people in a row, the rest submitted.
Mo Nian was truly powerful. He had immense combat experience and was able to predict other people’s moves easily. He quickly won quite a few worshippers for himself. Seeing him with women holding his arm, asking him to talk about some of his battles and tips, Long Chen felt that Mo Nian was about to float into the heavens. Even his smile was getting wretched.
“He’s quite the flirt.” Chu Yao leaned in and whispered into Long Chen’s ear.
“Well, anyone would be pleased to have others say such flattering words to them,” said Long Chen.
“We know. But at least you hide it well and don’t act as obvious as Mo Nian.” Chu Yao covered her mouth and laughed.
Long Chen’s smile stiffened. After righteously covering for Mo Nian, he had ended up drawing himself in, as if he was the same as Mo Nian.
In the end, Mo Nian’s bragging was the real thing. He had the experience of being attacked by Netherpassage experts. His experience in that regard was even greater than Long Chen’s.
However, when Mo Nian described his battles with those experts, when he described how dangerous it was, how he had counterattacked, how he had averted disaster, he never mentioned the Earth Splitting Divine Shuttle. It was as if he had relied on his entire power to escape from an encirclement of Netherpassage experts.
The experts listening were infatuated with his words and were feeling even greater worship for him. He wasn’t just a braggart, but he was someone with the power and experience to back it up.
Long Chen estimated that if he allowed Mo Nian to continue like this, then in less than three days, Ye Lingshan’s position might get rocky.
However, Mo Nian wasn’t just bragging. He was answering some very important questions about how to protect oneself in battle and defeat enemies. This was greatly benefiting the experts listening.
As Mo Nian bragged, Long Chen asked how Liu Ruyan was. Chu Yao answered that she would quickly finish refining the primal chaos divine elixir in her body. Then she would be completely transformed.
According to Liu Ruyan, her Undying Willow race was a remnant of an immortal clan. However, her branch had declined and been unable to continue their inheritance, resulting in all their disciples being scattered throughout every corner of the universe, hoping that they could one day continue their inheritance.
This transformation was extremely important to her. Her power would rise to a completely new level.
Time passed bit by bit. Just as there were only six hours left, someone hurriedly ran over.
“Reporting to senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, four hours ago, some brother saw disciples wearing the robes of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect rushing in the direction of the Yin Yang Valley. That brother didn’t think it was anything important and just mentioned it to me casually, but I felt like there was something odd about this, so I immediately came to report it!”
“What’s going on?” Ye Lingshan was startled. The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples had refused to come with them? Had they charged their way to the Yin Yang Valley on their own?
“No, something’s definitely wrong. Summon the army. We’re leaving immediately. I’m going to see what’s going on.” Long Chen rushed off.
Chapter 1893 Killing You Will Only Take One Move
There were eight thousand disciples of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect being led by Chang Hao and Bao Buping.
Those disciples were all gloomy and filled with killing intent. Their eyes were about to spit flames.
“Buping, should we tell Long Chen about what happened?” asked Chang Hao.
“Long Chen’s with Ye Lingshan right now. If we told him, Ye Lingshan would also be drawn over. The old man already said that even if we have to die, we can’t owe a favor to the Martial Heaven Alliance. We can’t make him lose face.” Bao Buping shook his head.
Although they also knew that telling Long Chen was the best option, they knew that the old man would curse them to death if they did so. They understood his temper.
The old man and Qu Jianying were both fiery tempered, and neither was willing to lower their head to the other. As disciples of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect, they had to uphold the old man’s honor.
“That’s true. Fuck, who cares? When did men become so afraid of dying? Last time, we made them pay a painful price. This time, they set up a trap for us, but the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s motto is that no matter if you have a trap or not, if you provoke us, we’ll kill you! Even if we have to fight to the death, we’ll get our money’s worth. Anyone who doesn’t kill at least a hundred experts in the same realm isn’t a real man!” shouted Chang Hao.
“Fuck, if I don’t kill a thousand of them, I won’t be able to rest in peace. I’ll make those bastards pay!” Others shouted along.
A giant black curtain appeared ahead of them. The void rumbled around it.
The area inside was the Yin Yang Valley, where the Yin Yang World’s life and death energy intertwined. It was like two worlds constantly merging, and even the heavens were torn apart by this clash.
There were hundreds of thousands of experts gathered in front of the Yin Yang Valley. These people belonged to the Righteous path, Corrupt path, ancient family alliance, ancient races, Xuan Beasts, and other powers.
They were currently standing in front of the valley because before the most optimal time, it was very difficult to comprehend anything from this place. They were waiting.
Other than those experts, there was another group numbering in the tens of thousands who were standing not that far from them. These experts were those maintaining neutrality. Amongst them were people like Qu Fengxue and Qu Xuan.
The ones standing in the neutral camp were those belonging to ancient families with profound foundations. They didn’t need to rely on others, so as long as they didn’t interfere in the fighting, no one else wanted to provoke them.
Standing amongst the neutral faction was a man who was very curious. Behind him was a faint whirlpool. Inside that whirlpool, there was a giant dice slowly spinning.
When the eight thousand experts of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect arrived, everyone tensed up.
“These people really went too far. They actually cut off the heads of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples to draw these simpleminded fellows over. Despicable.” That strange man shook his head. In front of that coalition army were over a hundred heads suspended in the air.
The neutral faction’s experts all felt great disgust at such conduct. Some were even angry.
The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples were fiery and direct, but they were also the bravest warriors. Other than being difficult to get along with due to their fiery natures, they didn’t have any bad reputations.
In the large battles against the Corrupt path, they had spilled their blood for the Righteous path. They had made immense contributions.
If
this coalition army didn’t have people from the Righteous path, then perhaps they wouldn’t mind as much. However, now there were people from the Righteous path standing there, standing together with the Corrupt path, ignoring those heads. That made their hearts turn cold.
“What a bunch of simpleminded fools. They actually fell for something so simple.” Within the coalition army, Di Feng smiled contemptuously.
Di Feng, Huo Lieyun, True Immortal Jiaoqi, Xie Luo, Gui Can, Ming Jie, and all the other peak heavenly geniuses had gathered.
“Of course. If they didn’t fall for it, they wouldn’t be disciples of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect,” said a scholarly man. He wore a Daoist band on his forehead and looked to possess the air of Immortal Dao.
This man was one of the four Fate Princes from Heavenly Fate Island. However, now the four Fate Princes had become three. One of them, Luo Tianji, had been eliminated by Long Chen.
News that Luo Tianji had been slain by Long Chen had spread through Heavenly Fate Island’s secret methods. They were all on guard against Long Chen.
However, with the army gathered, the three of them could no longer continue hiding. There was also no need to keep hiding. They would also show their power in the upcoming battle, displaying their own brilliance.
After killing a few of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples, they used their heads to draw the others over. This plan had even included the subtle connection between the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect and the Martial Heaven Alliance.
“Long Chen plans to come during the golden tide and launch a sneak attack. Even if he can’t win, he’ll disturb us so that no one can comprehend anything. His plan is pretty good, but does he think it’ll go as planned?” sneered another one of the Fate Princes. They had seen through Long Chen’s intentions.
“Kill!”
Bao Buping, Chang Hao, and the other disciples immediately felt their heads buzzing upon seeing those suspended heads. Their fury overwhelmed their intelligence, and they charged forward.
The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples were very united and viewed each other as family. Now they were completely enraged, thinking of only executing vengeance for their brothers. As for their own lives, they no longer cared. The only thing in their hearts was overflowing hatred.
“Attack together! Annihilate these idiots.” Di Feng waved his hand, and countless experts charged out from their side.
The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples immediately launched a furious barrage of attacks. They seemed insane, and the tens of thousands of experts that went to block them were forced back.
“Hmph, so even brainless pigs have some ability. I’ll cut down those two.” One of the Fate Princes flew over, going straight at Chang Hao. Chang Hao furiously slashed his broadsword down.
However, that Fate Prince didn’t even look at Chang Hao’s attack. Chang Hao had no idea how the Fate Prince did it, but his body seemed to easily sway past his attack while his ruler pierced towards Chang Hao’s chest.
Chang Hao coughed up blood and was knocked back.
“Chang Hao!” Seeing Chang Hao being injured, Bao Buping let out a furious roar. He charged at that Fate Prince.
“Killing you will only take one move.”’ The Fate Prince sneered. Bao Buping’s three consecutive attacks all missed. It was like he was perfectly cooperating with his opponent.
After the third attack, the Fate Prince’s ruler pierced toward Bao Buping’s head from a bizarre angle.
This move was calculated perfectly, striking Bao Buping at the worst time.
This Fate Prince’s fighting style shocked all the experts present. Even the likes of Huo Lieyun, Di Feng, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Di Feng were startled. This kind of attack style was practically supernatural.
After all, both Bao Buping and Chang Hao were extremely powerful. They might even qualify to be ranked amongst Di Feng and the others.
However, he was defeated so easily by that Fate Prince. This was their first time seeing the power of Heavenly Fate Island’s disciples, and they were shocked. This was the goal that Fate Prince had been going for.
“Buping…!” Chang Hao couldn’t save him. He let out a furious roar.
The ruler shook and stopped right in front of Bao Buping’s head. A hand had caught it.
“Long Chen!” Bao Buping let out a delighted cry.
Wrapped in black robes, his icy eyes looked like the gaze of a death god. Long Chen had come.
“Killing you will only take one move.”
That Fate Prince’s ruler was pushed back by Long Chen, and the hilt smashed into his chest.
As soon as that Fate Prince saw Long Chen, his mind went blank. He suddenly found that his golden fate lines had been severed, indicating that he was about to die.
He couldn’t recover from the shock of seeing that. Immersed in the terror of death, he died without being able to resist at all. Without even making a sound, he exploded into bloody mist.
If he wasn’t one of the Fate Princes, perhaps he would have had the slightest chance of surviving. After all, experts all instinctively avoided mortal danger. But because he was a Fate Prince, upon reading that he was about to die, his mind went blank, and he was killed just like that.
Long Chen killed a Fate Prince that had just shown off his power, causing a clamor. The power that the Fate Prince had just shown had been stunning enough. Who would have thought that he would be unable to receive even a single attack from Long Chen?
Even as he died, the sound of Long Chen saying ‘Killing you will only take one move’ still hung in the air.
Long Chen waved his hand, and those heads suspended in the air were pulled away by him.
“Long Chen, they humiliated our brothers! We have to kill them!” Bao Buping and Chang Hao shouted in unison, filled with hatred.
“Don’t worry, anyone who dares to kill my brothers will be paying me back a thousand times,” said Long Chen.
Long Chen was also infuriated, but for him, when his fury reached a certain level, he actually calmed down.
“Everyone from the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect, retreat!”
Long Chen waved his hand. The first thing was to make the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples retreat.
“You think you can retreat just like that? Hand over your life!” True Immortal Jiaoqi suddenly charged over. Immediately activating his qilin power, his halberd blazed with light.
Chapter 1894 The Great Battle Begins
Following True Immortal Jiaoqi, the other experts also attacked. They knew that once they captured Long Chen, this fight would end before it started. This was also one of their goals in drawing over Bao Buping and the others.
The only thing not part of their plans was that one of the Fate Princes would be slain by Long Chen in just one attack.
They hadn’t expected the Fate Princes to be so powerful. He had essentially toyed with Bao Buping. But he had been eliminated by Long Chen.
However, even with that surprise, Long Chen had been drawn over here alone. This trap could count as a success. With everyone working together, they could instantly subdue Long Chen.
“Ten years I wandered with my bow, my arrows causing heaven and earth to shake. The nine heavens, the ten lands, and all the universe will revolve around me. Only I, Mo Nian, will rise to glory.”
A very melodious and poser chant rang out. Arrows rained down like meteors.
The experts that had just charged forward were forced back in a panic by the hail of arrows.
“Mo Nian is present. Who dares to fight?!” Mo Nian raised his bow, standing in the sky with the blazing sun behind him. The sun made it so that they could see his figure, but not his face, making him look grand and mysterious.
Di Feng snorted and immediately shot off at him. The other experts continued toward Long Chen. He was their main target.
Sword-light slashed down like a rainbow river. Ye Lingshan had also arrived.
After that, the ground burst apart as
wooden stakes shot out, looking like pythons leaping into the sky. They formed a giant net around the experts. Chu Yao was standing atop a wooden tower.
As soon as Long Chen had learned what was going on with the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples, he had sent a message back to Chu Yao and the others, telling them that the battle was about to start and that the top experts had to immediately rush over, or it would be too late.
Long Chen was already exchanging blows with True Immortal Jiaoqi, Mo Nian was mortal enemies with Di Feng, while the other experts unleashed powerful attacks, blowing apart Chu Yao’s net.
“Ye Lingshan, you won’t be getting away today.”
Gui Can went after Ye Lingshan first. However, he had just moved when a sword blocked his path.
“It’s you!”
Seeing that slender and veiled figure, Gui Can immediately recognized Yue Xiaoqian.
“Last time, I couldn’t kill you, but I’ll end things today.” Yue Xiaoqian unleashed a tempest of attacks at Gui Can.
“Killing a demon woman is fine as well. We’re no longer in the ancient tomb, so let’s see if you still have the ability to fight me!” Gui Can sneered. Last time, he had been suppressed, so now he could restore his prestige.
As soon as Yue Xiaoqian blocked Gui Can, one of the other Corrupt Kings, Ming Jie, clashed with Ye Lingshan.
With multiple peak experts exchanging blows, the entire world was filled with explosive divine might. Each of their actions caused the world to shake.
“Twelve divine flame guards, capture that woman!”
Huo Lieyun and Xie Luo were being blocked by Chu Yao’s endless wooden stakes. Not wanting to waste any more time, Huo Lieyun suddenly shouted.
From the giant army, twelve experts of the Flame Divine Palace flew out. They charged at Chu Yao, wielding flame blades.
These experts were surrounded by flame runes emitting shocking fluctuations.
“The Flame Divine Palace is actually this powerful?!”
“Based on their auras, they’re only slightly weaker than Huo Lieyun and the others.”
