The fiery lotus formed by ninety-nine talismans exploded amid the crowd, sending up waves of fire that swept up the void.
The charging experts fought with all their might, but some were still blown to pieces on the spot. Most of the powerful were shaken to the ground, spurting blood and scattering in all directions.
"Unfortunately, I'm not a fire cultivator and can't cultivate the boss's Great Brahma Heaven Sutra. Otherwise, the power of this fire lotus could have increased a hundredfold, enough to annihilate them all. Compared to the boss, this strike is far inferior." Watching the sky filled with flying flames, Xia Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He had now condensed the Heavenly Dao King Crown and was blessed with dragon blood. In the Dragon Blood Battle Body state, he could carve talismans on dragon scales and cast any spell at will. Any talisman he could carve could be cast in his own hands, no longer relying solely on talismans.
However, some things can only be imitated, but not mastered. He imitated Long Chen's World-Destroying Fire Lotus, capturing only its form, not its spirit.
He had no life-bound flame and couldn't activate the Great Brahma Heaven Scripture. Although the talismans on him could attract the power of flames from heaven and earth, their effects were worlds apart from those of the scripture. Even after detonating thirty-six talismans, the effect was not as good as he had imagined.
This strike made him realize his weakness. He was a rune master. Although he had the Heavenly Dao King Crown and Dragon Blood blessings, allowing him to fight at will, to become stronger, he had to start with the most basic runes—that was his path.
"First Technique of Heaven-Creation" Xia
Chen had just unleashed the World-Destroying Fire Lotus when Guo Ran slashed down with a single blade. The massive blade shadow tore through the void, and a crescent moon spanning tens of thousands of miles came across the sky.
"Boom!"
More than a dozen powerful beings, despite fighting with all their might, were still smashed along with their weapons. Amidst the spray of blood mist, countless powerful beings flew away in response to the blade.
"If you're not afraid to die, just come over here."
Guo Ran swung his long blade, using the power of the strike to shout fiercely, trying to use the killing intent of the strike to scare off the enemy.
But this time, thousands of people had arrived. Although his strike was incredibly powerful, it did not completely stop their assault.
What worried Guo Ran and Xia Chen the most was the roaring void around them, with powerful figures flying in from time to time, like vultures smelling the scent of rotting flesh, swarming in and increasing.
"Just two people, and they want to stop us? What a joke. Let's all attack together, kill him, and divide the strongest dragon scale."
Everyone has to act quickly, or if those super powerhouses make their move, we'll never get another chance. Courage is yield—it's all about whoever gets lucky and gets the meat. A
beast with surging blood roared and was the first to rush forward. It was a terrifying powerhouse, his entire body radiating blood energy like flames, his wings stretching open and tearing the firmament. Countless powerful beings around him were directly blasted away by his shockwave.
"Since you're looking for death, I'll grant your wish."
Guo Ran was furious. The more he feared, the more he would come. The beast expert egged him on, and the other beings, eyes reddened, charged forward. The golden dragon scales carried a deadly temptation to anyone.
"Boom!"
Guo Ran swung his broadsword fiercely, his blood and energy erupting at full power. His blade struck the beast's weapon with a thunderous explosion.
"Pfft!"
The beast expert spat out a mouthful of blood, his body cracked by the shock, nearly shattered by Guo Ran's blade. A trace of fear appeared in his eyes—he had finally witnessed Guo Ran's terror.
However, Guo Ran's heart tightened, secretly cursing in disbelief. This demon beast was too powerful, yet he failed to kill it in one strike. This would only fuel the arrogance of these beings.
Just as he expected, although the beast was shaken and bleeding wildly and seriously injured, it did not die, which gave the other beings endless confidence. After all, they had many people, thousands of powerful warriors charging madly.
"Courting death!"
Guo Ran and Xia Chen were both shocked and furious. There were too many of them, rushing toward Long Chen from all directions. The two of them simply couldn't stop him.
"Puff puff puff..."
The two were furious, unleashing their ultimate moves one after another, slaying dozens of beings in one go, but they were completely unable to stop them.
Someone had already approached the dragon scales and was about to rush over when suddenly the void trembled, and a light screen rune appeared.
"Boom!"
The man crashed into the light screen, not even making a sound, before being shaken into a mist of blood by the screen. He triggered the grand formation Xia Chen had set up.
"Boom boom boom... Seeing
the formation appear, many beings refused to accept it. They grabbed their weapons and smashed it fiercely. The moment their weapons touched the formation, violent power was channeled into their bodies, and one by one, they exploded with a thunderous crash.
Only then did these beings finally wake up a bit from the temptation of the dragon scales and stop blindly charging in. Meanwhile, Xia Chen and Guo Ran were frantically slaughtering these creatures.
Although these beings were fierce and each had condensed the Heavenly Dao King Crown, in one-on-one combat, no one could match them. In an instant, the two each slew dozens more.
But these beings seemed to have gone mad, knowing the danger but refusing to retreat, afraid that if they did, the dragon scales would be taken by someone else. The strong often go mad when faced with the chance to become stronger.
"Don't attack the formation directly. Use ranged attacks. Exhaust the array's power and you'll be able to break it." A human powerhouse shouted a warning.
"You traitor."
Xia Chen and Guo Ran were furious. They had already killed so much that this group was terrified, yet someone came out to cause trouble—and the one causing trouble was their own clan. The fury was beyond words.
"Die!"
Guo Ran roared, his wings flapping behind him, and like a meteor, he charged at the man.
"Want to kill me?" Dream on! The
man sneered, a jade talisman appeared in his hand, and he crushed it in one swift move.
But the moment he crushed the jade talisman, the smile on his face froze. His teleportation talisman had actually failed, and in the void around him, transparent talismans appeared. It was these talismans that had blocked his teleportation power.
"Die!"
Xia Chen nullified the man's teleportation talisman from a distance. Guo Ran slashed down with his blade, and the man screamed in terror, desperately resisting, but it still couldn't change his fate of being killed.
"Boom boom boom... Though
this man was dead, under his reminder, countless beings unleashed beams of divine light that fell onto the grand formation.
The grand formation trembled, countless runes swirling. While resisting these attacks, the runes quickly dimmed. These were all powerful beings who had condensed the Heavenly Dao King Crown. The durability of the Xia Chen grand array was rapidly declining.
Xia Chen and Guo Ran were both anxious and furious. They couldn't kill so many people in a short time, and if they broke through the formation and interfered with Long Chen, it would be a real problem.
Everyone in the Dragonblood Legion excels at offense but not at defense. Both possess strength but have no place to use it, and both are on the verge of losing their minds.
"Boom"
