The Thunder Sword mercilessly slashed down, and all the powerful figures within the Kunpeng clan's ancestral land had long since taken refuge in the central hall.
"Boom boom boom...
When the thunder sword struck the grand hall, it roared loudly. The hall could barely withstand the thunder sword, but the once dazzling divine light began to slowly dimm.
This was the last lifeline for the Kunpeng clan disciples, but this straw wouldn't last long.
"Boom boom boom...
As the thunderous giant sword slashed down, all buildings except the central hall shattered in less than a few breaths, turning to ashes.
Watching those buildings being destroyed, Peng Wanli's eyes reddened. Many buildings were extremely ancient, symbolizing the glory of the Peng clan. Now that they had been destroyed under the heavenly tribulation, Peng Wanli wished he could bite Long Chen to death.
"Long Chen, don't force me into the heavenly tribulation to kill you." Kunpengzi shouted sternly.
Everyone's hearts tightened. Kunpengzi was born with the ability to control thunder—a divine talent he possessed. Perhaps he truly dared to ignore those heavenly tribulations and attack Long Chen. However, at this moment, Kunpengzi still had reservations—he had to consider the disciples of the Kunpeng clan and dared not act rashly.
"Forcing you?"
Long Chen sneered, "Am I forcing you, or are you forcing me?" During my breakthrough to Tongming, you've all been quite arrogant. Hearing
Kunpengzi's aggressive words, Long Chen's anger surged. The Kunpeng clan, or rather, most of the Xuan Beast clan, were self-centered.
They could only accept being bullied. Being bullied was an unforgivable crime. Long Chen was too lazy to argue with them anymore; if he wasn't convinced, he would do it.
"Long Chen, every grievance has its cause, every debt has its debtor. If you've got the guts, come at me openly and humiliate the weak. What kind of skill is that?" Kunpengzi shouted loudly.
"Hahahaha... Long
Chen suddenly laughed loudly toward the sky. Even amid the rolling thunder, everyone could hear him clearly. His laughter was filled with anger, mockery, and even murderous intent.
"What a grievance has its cause, every debt has its owner. Since Long Chen debuted, I have said this countless times.
If you want to target me, Long Chen, don't target those around me. Attacking me is the way of the Great Dao's struggle, and it's understandable. But if anyone targets those close to me, that will be a mortal feud."
Taking advantage of our breakthrough to the Tongming Realm, you actually launched a surprise attack on the Cloud-Chasing Sky-Swallowing Sparrow clan. If I had been a step too late, the Cloud-Chasing Cloud-Swallowing Sky-Swallowing Sparrow clan would have already fallen into your hands.
Now you tell me every injustice has its own debt, Kunpengzi, is your head full of dung?
To be honest with you, today, I'm definitely going to wipe out your Kunpeng clan's territory. Not only will I wipe out your territory, but I'll also slaughter some people, using their blood to honor those warriors of the Chasing Cloud-Swallowing Skysparrow clan.
I, Long Chen, have always been clear about grudges and grudges. Today, I, Long Chen, have come for revenge. If anyone tries to stop me, just go ahead and try. Long Chen's eyes trembled with murderous intent, his voice icy as he looked down on everyone in the Kunpeng clan.
"Long Chen, it seems you really are looking for death. Then no one can help you."
Ye Benchang spoke up from the crowd, a hint of amusement deep in his eyes, as if he was very pleased with Long Chen's approach.
"I don't need your help. You should worry about yourself. Take good care of your neck, because Long's blade will soon cut it off." Long Chen replied coldly.
Long Chen had long harbored a deadly intent toward Ye Benchang and understood his intentions very well.
The Divine Clan's internal affairs are very deep. Ye Benchang's desire to kill Long Chen has been ongoing for quite some time. However, he has never found a reason to openly kill Long Chen, which is why he launched a sneak attack last time.
Unfortunately, that time ended in failure. However, now he saw new hope. He had finally found an open and legitimate reason. Long Chen had long seen it clearly, but he was fearless.
Previously, when he was killed by Ye Benchang without a chance to fight back, it was because of his realm suppression. Now that Long Chen was about to become a Tongming Realm expert, why would he fear him?
"Boom!"
Ye Benchang's expression changed. Just as he was about to retort, suddenly there was a loud explosion. Under the endless impact of the thunder swords, the hall finally collapsed and exploded with a thunderous crash.
"Whoosh"
At that moment, a figure suddenly charged straight into the thunder tribulation, wielding a thunder halberd that sliced through the void, aiming to mercilessly strike down Long Chen.
With a loud explosion, Long Chen's Dragon Bone Evil Moon struck Kunpengzi's halberd. Long Chen's arm shook violently, and a terrifying force surged forth. Long Chen involuntarily staggered back several steps, and as he steadied himself, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What?"
People were shocked—Long Chen couldn't even withstand a single strike from the Kunpengzi? But thinking about it, he immediately felt relieved.
At this moment, Long Chen was undergoing a tribulation and was not yet a true Tongming Realm expert. He could not control the power of life and death. Fighting Kunpengzi was like fighting above his level, suffering a heavy loss.
"The level barrier is becoming more and more obvious. Previously, Long Chen had slain ordinary Tongming Realm experts as easily as reaching into a bag.
But when facing equally talented individuals, this level barrier is like a natural chasm—no matter how talented you are, you can never cross it. "Someone couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, their combat power was on the same level, but Kunpengzi had advanced to Tongming, while Long Chen was still at the peak of the Life Star Peak and only at the Tribulation Crossing stage. Yet their combat power was worlds apart.
"Long Chen, today I will make you taste all the suffering in the world before you die." Kunpengzi knocked Long Chen back with a single blow, but instead of chasing Long Chen directly, he lunged at the Kunpeng clan disciple below.
"Buzz"—
the void trembled. In Kunpengzi's left hand, a lightning curtain descended, enveloping those people.
However, the thunder shield could not completely block the power of heavenly thunder, and some of the thunder still seeped inside.
This was unavoidable. Even Kunpengzi had to be extremely cautious when facing the heavenly tribulation, unable to resist, or else it would invite even more violent tribulations. He could endure it, but these disciples would instantly turn to ashes.
"Puff puff puff...
Even with the thunder barrier blocking part of the thunder's power, these Kunpeng clan disciples still couldn't withstand it and exploded to pieces, with only a few relatively stronger disciples barely able to hold on.
You have to know, the Dragon Blood warriors had undergone their tribulation together and had been attacked by Long Chen. Their strength had reached an astonishing level. Even the Dragon Blood warriors struggled to endure it, let alone ordinary disciples of the Kunpeng clan.
Watching the disciples of the Kunpeng clan die one by one in despair, Kunpengzi's eyes turned bloodshot, murderous intent soaring to the sky, but he had no way to do anything.
He had to keep his power in a delicate state. If it was too weak, more disciples would die; if it was too strong, if the heavenly tribulation saw it as resistance, the thunderstorm would intensify again, and none of these disciples would survive.
"Long Chen, you trash, you only know how to target innocent people. Just you wait." Kunpengzi roared angrily, slowly moving the shield to lure the disciples to escape.
Now, half of the Kunpeng clan disciples inside the light shield have been wiped out under the heavenly tribulation, and in every blink of an eye, some people can't hold on and are killed by the heavenly thunder. Kunpeng must quickly move them out of the tribulation range.
But inside the tribulation, he had to be careful, which slowed his movements and led to more and more powerful deaths.
In the distance, Que Yuzhu sneered, "Innocent?" How can this line sound so ridiculous when you Kunpeng clan members say this?
Your Kunpeng clan and the Tianjiuhuang clan have hunted down my Cloud-Chasing Sky-Swallowing Sparrow clan for countless years, using an utterly ridiculous excuse. How many of our martyrs have died under your slaughter blades?
You didn't even spare a baby just a few months old. When you killed others, your face was filled with a vicious smile. Have you ever considered being innocent? Although
few outside know the history of the Kunpeng clan and the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, after the rise of the Cloud-Chasing Sky-Swallowing Sparrow, history gradually surfaced. However, the Kunpeng clan simply refused to acknowledge their claims.
"Wretch, shut up! Your Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan are traitors to the Xuan Beast clan and have no right to speak." Kunpengzi shouted sternly.
"You're the one who should shut up. Just focus on your work. I have to work too."
Long Chen sneered. Suddenly, the Dragonbone Evil Moon slashed toward the sky, and with a loud explosion, the thunderclouds in the sky were pierced through once again.
"Rumble... The
thunder tribulation became violent again. Not only did thunder swords descend, but thunder hammers, spears, and axes slashed down with various thunder divine weapons, filling the entire world with destructive aura.
The power of thunder doubled again, and Kunpengzi's expression changed instantly: "Long Chen, you're asking for death." "
No..."
"Save us..."
"I don't want to die..."
"Puff puff puff ...."
Long Chen didn't respond to him; what responded to Kunpengzi was endless cries of despair, the shattering of his body, and the destruction of his primordial spirit.
The heavenly tribulation is merciless, slaughtering all living beings. Kunpengzi's thunder defense shield consumed less and less thunder power. The disciples simply couldn't withstand it. Their desperate screams drove Kunpengzi mad, but there was nothing they could do.
The powerful warriors of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan wore expressions of excitement. They had an irreconcilable feud with the Kunpeng clan, hunted for tens of thousands of years, and the bones of the clan warriors who died in battle could now cover the entire land of Central State.
The hatred between both sides could only be washed away with blood and lives. Seeing the Kunpeng clan disciple die, they all shouted excitedly—this was truly satisfying.
Within the Kunpeng clan's territory, the tens of thousands of once trapped experts now numbered less than eight thousand. These eight thousand were struggling desperately in the thunder tribulation. Even with Kunpengzi helping to neutralize most of the thunder's power, they still couldn't withstand it, and from time to time, some were shattered and died.
However, Kunpengzi was indeed formidable. His entire body trembled with lightning, slowly moving these people to the outer edge of the heavenly tribulation. Once inside, the power of the thunder would shrink, and they would be completely saved.
Long Chen and the others were at the core of the tribulation. If they tried to break through, they would be blocked by layers of thunder, leaving them powerless.
As they neared the outskirts, fewer than three thousand disciples of the Kunpeng clan remained—a truly brutal situation.
"Long Chen, you bullying the weak and fearing the strong, you'll die a terrible death..." Just as they were about to escape danger, disciples of the Kunpeng clan cursed Long Chen loudly.
Long Chen suddenly laughed: "Do you know what despair is?" Despair means seeing hope right in front of you, but you just can't hold onto it. "
Buzz!"
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from Long Chen's body, as if something had shattered. In that instant, Kunpengzi's expression changed.
