Long Chen looked into Long Aotian's eyes and said calmly, "In your eyes, I see both anger and fear."
You desperately want to defeat me, yet fear failure; you want to strike at my peak, build a reputation, and eliminate your inner demons.
But you don't have absolute confidence. This time, you don't want to fail, nor do you dare. You're afraid that if you lose, you'll never be able to stand up again, and you'll never have the courage to fight me again.
You are conflicted, and the main reason for your conflict is that you lack the confidence to defeat me. "
Shut up..." Long Aotian roared, his hand trembling as he gripped the sword, but he never drew it.
"So cowardly. If you don't have the courage to act, why act like a big boss? Long Chen's life is mine—none of you can take it away.
If you keep talking nonsense, the people over there will start to recover. Do you still want to open the Pearl of Fortune? Xu Xiner said impatiently.
"Long Chen, you've angered me. Hehe, very well, I'll show you what it means to be in unbearable pain." A sinister smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Long Aotian's mouth as his gaze shifted to the Dragon Blood Legion.
"Buzz!" Behind Long Aotian,
multicolored divine radiance surged, and a vast divine might erupted.
Long Chen's expression changed, his eyes filled with icy murderous intent:
"Long Aotian, you despicable beast."
"Buzz"
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Long Aotian's mouth. He immediately found Long Chen's fatal weakness. He stepped forward and was the first to charge at the Dragon Blood Legion.
"Courting death!"
Long Chen was furious. Long Aotian didn't dare confront him head-on and actually attacked the Dragon Blood Legion.
"Just stay quiet!"
Just as Long Chen was furious, Xu Xiner let out a cold laugh, formed hand seals, and the three ancient ferocious beasts launched attacks simultaneously, charging straight at Long Chen.
"Die!"
Long Chen roared in fury, his dragon roar erupting. His dragon claws surged, and a giant dragon's claw reached out from the divine ring behind him.
The massive dragon claw blotted out the sky and sun, rushing toward Xu Xiner and the giant tiger she was sitting on. Xu Xiner was shocked to find that the giant tiger beneath her suddenly stiffened.
Long Chen's roar contained the will of the divine dragon. The dragon is the height of a hundred scales, the emperor of all beasts. Even ancient ferocious beasts were instantly suppressed before the dragon's might.
Long Chen was not a dragon clan powerhouse and did not possess a true dragon body, but his will was strong. His bloodline and will combined to form a unique dragon might, capable of intimidating all beasts.
This dragon might could only last for the blink of an eye and not too far, but it was already enough for Long Chen.
"Pfft!"
As the dragon claw fell, the ancient ferocious beast, the Sabertooth Tiger, didn't even have time to groan before it was crushed by the claw, beast blood flying and bones flying everywhere.
"What?"
People exclaimed, such a terrifying ancient ferocious beast had actually been slain by Long Chen in a single blow?
At the same time, people recalled Long Aotian's previous claim that Xu Xiner's attempt to stop Long Chen with three ferocious beasts was pure wishful thinking. Now, Long Chen's strike proved Long Aotian was right.
Xu Xiner chose to flee the moment the dragon's claw descended, narrowly dodging the strike. Her face instantly turned pale with fear—just a hair's breadth away from being crushed by Long Chen.
"Blood awakens the soul lock, beast blood returns to its source."
Suddenly, Xu Xiner's whole body was covered in purple blood. The runes on the foreheads of her other two fierce beasts exploded—these were their soul seals. Xu Xiner actually ignored the beast's Devouring Master and broke the seal on their bodies.
When the seal on the two ferocious beasts was broken, a violent aura surged, and people were shocked to discover that both beasts were at the Innate Heavenly Venerable level.
"Boom!"
The seal on two ancient ferocious beasts was broken. The Gale Swallowing Sky Python suddenly opened its mouth wide, and a massive vortex surged, engulfing Long Chen and Xu Xiner together. People were shocked—once this ancient beast broke its seal, it would kill without distinction between friend and foe.
Originally, after Long Chen killed the saber-toothed tiger, he was about to chase Long Aotian. Now, as the void trembled, he was actually sucked in, which made him furious.
"Boss, leave these three items to me."
At that moment, space suddenly swirled around Long Chen, and he was involuntarily teleported out of the vortex range.
Long Chen looked and saw that it was Bai Xiaole. His eyes shimmered with triple pupils, and a little fox was lying on his shoulder.
"Is that okay?"
Long Chen was a bit worried.
"Don't worry, her purple-gold bell is a treasure. It's mine. The two of us brothers are ready to redeem our past humiliation." Bai Xiaole didn't reply, but the purple-eyed nine-tailed demon fox interrupted:
"Damn that filthy woman, you've offended Ninth Master. Today, you'll have to pay for it."
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox flickered, its body rapidly enlarged, restoring its original size. It was a primordial anomaly species, renowned in history. Now revealing its true form, its nine-tailed tail trembled like rising flames, its pressure shaking the heavens.
"Whoosh!"
The Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a blood-red divine radiance shot out, striking straight at the vortex of the Gale Swallowing Sky Python.
With a loud explosion, the vortex exploded, and the Swift Wind Swallowing Heaven Python's divine power was interrupted, sending it flying backward.
"Die!"
Seeing the Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox charging at her, Xu Xiner was both shocked and furious. She stood atop the Azure-Eyed Golden-scaled Eagle's head, controlling it to attack the Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
At this moment, Xu Xiner's face was pale, and purple blood was seeping from her eyes. Clearly, she had broken the seal on the Gale Swallowing Sky Python and the Blue-Eyed Golden-scaled Eagle. To control them again would require a terrifying price.
"Xiao Le!"
The Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox shouted sharply. Bai Xiaole immediately understood, forming hand seals. At the very moment he formed the seals, a three-flower cluster appeared within the fox's huge pupils.
"Three Flowers Wall!"
The purple-eyed nine-tailed demon fox and Bai Xiaole shouted simultaneously. The three flowers swirled in their pupils, the void trembled, and a massive Three Flowers pattern appeared above the void, like a bright giant shield, blocking their path.
"Boom!"
The three-flower giant shield appeared abruptly. Without any warning, the blue-eyed golden-scaled eagle controlled by Xu Xiner was speeding through the air and crashed hard into the three-flower giant shield.
With a loud explosion, the giant shield trembled, and as huge ripples spread, endless bird feathers danced. The Azure-Eyed Golden-scaled Eagle was forcibly smashed halfway through.
Meanwhile, Xu Xiner, on the blue-eyed golden-scaled eagle, summoned the purple-gold bell at the critical moment and collidedHe was knocked away from the Sanhua Giant Shield. Although he survived, he was left dizzy and dazed from the shock.
Xu Xin'er's eyes were filled with terror. She hadn't expected that the little fox she had once wanted to keep as a pet would possess such terrifying power—it could even use ocular techniques.
Xu Xiner was terrified out of her wits, losing all her previous arrogance and confidence. With the purple-gold bell above her head, she sped away and actually fled.
"Where are you going? Leave the bell for Ninth Master."
Seeing Xu Xiner actually escape, the Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox shouted loudly, and the Nine-Tailed Fox trembled as it tried to give chase.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the Gale Swallowing Sky Python had somehow appeared at its feet and instantly wrapped it around it.
"Nine-tailed Fox Unlocked!"
The Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox shouted sharply, and its nine tails blossomed in different colors.
"Pfft!"
The Gale Swallowing Sky Python entangling the Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox hadn't even used its divine power before it was brutally torn apart by the Nine-Tailed Fox, blood pouring everywhere.
"Hand over the Purple-Gold Bell to Ninth Master!"
The purple-eyed nine-tailed demon fox broke free and chased after Xu Xiner like a shooting star.
