Long Chen had been waiting for this moment, because his goal was not to defeat the man from the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan; what he wanted was to kill him.
Defeating and killing sound similar—if you lose, you kill, but in reality, the difference between the two is worlds apart.
To defeat someone, you only need to have a higher combat power by a hair's breadth, but killing them is extremely difficult, because no one will just wait to be killed without fleeing.
To kill a man of the Hexeed Sea Serpent clan, a powerhouse of this level, he had to exhaust all his trump cards and exhaust his power to have such a chance.
Now that the opportunity had finally come, Long Chen immediately unleashed a thunderous finishing blow, charging like lightning toward the man of the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan and slashing down with full force.
"Boom!"
The man from the Hexogonal Sea Serpent clan summoned the tortoise shell again, but without the protection of the runes, the shell instantly shattered into pieces, completely destroyed.
However, that precious turtle shell also bought the man of the Hsix-Horned Sea Serpent clan a brief chance to catch his breath. He rapidly retreated, crashing fiercely into the two teams of Dragonblood warriors.
The two teams of Dragonblood warriors had long been prepared, joining forces to strike with their swords once again. They didn't aim to kill him, but to hold him back.
"Buzz!" Suddenly,
the man from the six-horned sea serpent clan's body swelled violently, transforming into a ten-thousand-mile sea serpent in an instant, charging head-on at the Dragonblood warriors.
"Puff, puff!"
Two sword auras slashed into the hexagonal sea serpent, tearing through its protective runes and leaving two large gashes in its body, blood splattering everywhere.
However, the hexagonal sea serpent roared past, its tremendous impact stirring up a sky full of runes, sending the Dragonblood warriors flying.
The man from the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan fought desperately, unleashing all his strength to the limit. The Dragonblood warriors simply couldn't hold him back.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, Long Chen stepped into the void, the Dragonbone Evil Moon raised high, chasing from behind. The Dragonbone Evil Moon kept gathering power, and a blade shadow shot into the sky, tearing through the clouds in all directions.
"Long Chen, if you dare kill me, you'll regret it." The man from the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan sped at full speed, but even summoning his true form was no faster than Long Chen. Seeing Long Chen about to strike with his blade, he screamed in terror.
Long Chen ignored him. Talking to such a brainless guy was just a waste of time. Long Chen kept gathering strength, determined to finish this guy in one stroke and eliminate future trouble.
The male member of the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan had nearly exhausted his strength, and Long Chen's strength was rapidly depleting as well, unable to maintain peak condition. This strike could not afford to be missed.
"Eighth Form of Heaven-Opening!"
Long Chen shouted sharply. A ten-thousand-mile long blade descended from the heavens, causing the stars to tremble and the universe to sway. With this strike, the man of the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan was locked tightly in place.
"Rumble... A
single blade slashed down from midair, like a god's deadly strike. The chilling aura of heaven and earth was completely absorbed by this strike.
"Long Chen, you bastard."
The man from the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan roared in fury, his voice hoarse, even choked with sobs.
"Boom!"
The man from the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan suddenly summoned a skull. The skull was like a towering mountain, lustrous as jade, yet filled with a violent and bloodthirsty aura.
"Long Chen, you even made me use the divine bone of the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan. Just wait—if I don't avenge this, I won't be human." The man from the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan screamed hysterically.
Long Chen's blade struck the skull. He had originally thought the skull was incredibly hard, but he was confident in this strike. Even if the skull could withstand Long Chen's strike, the person on the other side of the skull would be crushed to death. Even if it didn't, he'd be reduced to a puddle of mush, with no chance of escaping.
"Boom!"
What Long Chen and everyone else didn't expect was that the skull was struck by Long Chen's blade, instantly shattered into dust, utterly powerless.
The Dragonbone Evil Moon offered almost no resistance, directly slashing directly at the massive body of the Hexegon Sea Serpent clan's body, piercing straight through and slicing him in two.
The Dragonblood warriors cheered, but halfway through, something went wrong. The man from the Hsix-Horned Sea Serpent clan had been slain, but no blood splattered, and his aura showed no sign of change.
"This ..."
Everyone was shocked. What was going on?
"Death substitute talisman?" He never expected the Sea Demon Clan to have such a divine artifact. Long
Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. He seemed to have learned there that the Sea Demon clan possessed a magical rune of substitute death.
This Death Substitute Talisman is a term used on the Tianwu Continent. In fact, it's not a divine talisman, but rather a method similar to witchcraft.
This kind of witchcraft had long been lost on the Tianwu Continent. It was said to be a human technique, capable of obsessing over puppets as substitutes, and at critical moments, could be used as scapegoats.
This kind of witchcraft is extremely mysterious. When a puppet dies, its master enters a state of void for a short time. A master in this void state cannot be attacked, not even a god can kill them.
It seemed that in that instant, he no longer belonged to this world, nor to this space-time. In short, it was mysterious and inexplicable.
Long Chen had just slashed down with his blade, and at the very moment the skull was shattered, the man from the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan vanished from his lockdown.
Now, even though he was clearly watching him, he couldn't sense his presence. In other words, Long Chen would be unable to deal with him for a certain period of time, and it would be impossible to kill him.
Long Chen hoisted the Dragonbone Evil Moon onto his shoulder, looking at the man from the Hexe-Horned Sea Serpent clan without being discouraged. He smiled slightly and said, "
Judging by your pained face, this death substitute talisman must be your ultimate way to save your life, right?"
Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity. Such a divine artifact is probably a rare treasure, and will never appear again in this world.
With such a treasure, even when facing an emperor-level expert, you can survive. You really are a waste, wasting such a treasure for me. "
Shut up!"
Seeing Long Chen's regretful expression, the man from the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan was about to lose his mind. If he hadn't summoned that skull just now, he would have surely died.
But Long Chen's guess was spot on. This skull was the only surviving and only death substitute talisman among the Sea Demon clan, passed down through countless generations.
This time, the Star Domain Divine Realm was opened and entrusted to him with this treasured place, instructing him not to use it unless absolutely necessary, because this is a supreme treasure that can protect his life against any terrifying expert.
A man from the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan, with this skull, originally wanted to explore some dangerous areas within the Star Domain Divine Realm, hoping to gain something. But everything turned out too optimistic—before he could find the treasure, Long Chen forced him to use it.
The treasured skull was actually used on an enemy of the same rank. The man from the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan was nearly driven mad.
"Long Chen, you destroyed my tortoise shell and wasted my precious witch bone. I will make you pay a heavy price, II can't kill you, but I can wipe out all your minions. Just wait. The
man from the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan roared, his body slowly fading, and finally, like a painting, vanished without a trace.
"Whew."
Long Chen shook his head and let out a long breath. In the end, he failed and didn't kill him.
Although Long Chen knew that someone like him, who possessed the fate of his clan, not only did he have treasures to his side, but also the blessing of fortune, making it extremely difficult to kill him, he was still somewhat disappointed.
"It's fine. Next time I strip you from your snake skin to make boots, I don't believe you have any treasure to save your life."
Long Chen put away the Dragonbone Evil Moon, calmed himself, and looked toward the battlefield, discovering that all the Sea Demon clan experts had fled.
"Boss, the Sea Demon clan has a total of 300,000 strong warriors. We've slain 170,000, and the rest have fled. Over 10,000 of us have died on our side." A Dragonblood warrior came to report.
Long Chen nodded. Three hundred thousand against three hundred thousand—killing 170,000 enemies and losing 10,000 to himself—this achievement was already impressive.
However, part of the credit was attributed to the Thunder Dragon. It was the Thunder Dragon who entered the battlefield, causing widespread casualties among the sea monster clan, which faltered their morale and left them completely passive and vulnerable.
Currently, there are six teams here: five are elites from the Tianwu Alliance, and one is from the Xuan Beast clan. Their strength is already very formidable.
"Boss, that guy escaped. I'm afraid he'll target our other teams. We have to be on guard." A Dragonblood warrior said with some concern. If a lone force encountered a man from the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan, they might be wiped out. This man was terrifying.
"Don't be afraid. This guy has used up all his trump cards this time, damaging his origin. This isn't Tianwu Huanhai; if he recovers, it definitely won't be that fast."
As long as we hurry to regroup, every team will have a legion-level powerhouse leading them. Even if we encounter the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan, we can still hold our own."
Combine our formation disks and spread the news from here. In the future, when we encounter people from the Sea Demon clan, no need to waste words. If conditions are right, kill them if possible. As Long Chen spoke, he merged the six formation disks together, allowing the message to travel farther.
"Boss, Boss Guo Ran reached out to us proactively, asking if we wanted him to come. He seems to be only half a day's journey from us. They have two teams over there." A sergeant asked a major.
"Can you contact him?" That's great, so he doesn't have to come over. It's so close, and you send him a map, telling him to find a way to join up with other teams and gradually pass the map out bit by bit. Long Chen said with some surprise.
At this moment, Guo Ran was with Xia Chen, and the urgent task now was to pass the map out so everyone could have it.
After Long Chen gave the order, everyone immediately got busy, because to transmit such a massive amount of information, not only were a large number of formation disks needed, but also the bloodline power of the Dragonblood Warriors.
The Dragonblood warriors are responsible for transmitting messages, while the others clean up the battlefield.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, how should we deal with these corpses?" Sea monsters' inner cores are valuable, but corpses are of little use. It would be a shame to discard them, so I came to ask Long Chen for advice.
"Give me all these corpses, I need them."
Long Chen stored all these corpses into the Chaos Space. Aman probably no longer cared about them, so he kept them for now. If Aman didn't want them, he could use them as fertilizer later.
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the Dragonblood warriors finally finished their work and confirmed with Guo Ran that he had received the map, which put Long Chen at ease.
"Boss, let's go. Let's go check out that treasure land. The sea monster clan is clashing with us precisely because of that treasure land." A Dragonblood Warrior spoke.
