On the Dragonbone Evil Moon, stars swirled, as if a universe was flickering. This was the first time Long Chen had unleashed the full power of the stars after merging with the power of the Heavenly Dao of Emperor Heaven.
At that moment, Long Chen did not summon any phenomena, instead pouring out all the star power within his body. He wanted to test what level his strength had reached.
When Long Chen's star power erupted, the violent force poured directly into Zhang Benzhi's body. At first, Zhang Benzhi wore a cold smile, but when the star power was channeled into his vision, his expression changed dramatically.
"Buzz!"
The sea of clouds behind Zhang Benzhi swelled rapidly like a balloon. Long Chen's violent power was simply beyond his control.
"Boom!"
With a deafening explosion, the sea of clouds behind Zhang Benzhi shattered with a roar. His vision was forcibly shattered by Long Chen.
"Pfft!"
Harimoto Satoshi's blood sprayed wildly, and at the same time, his clothes shattered, transforming into butterflies that danced wildly in the air. When the butterflies all landed, he was revealing a tight dark golden outfit.
"So he has a treasured armor on him." Long Chen shattered Zhang Benzhi's clothes, and only then did Xia Chen and the others suddenly understand.
Harimoto Satoshi's soft armor was extremely strange, yet it covered his entire body—not only his hands and feet, but even his head was wrapped inside.
This soft armor is a camouflaged treasure armor, completely invisible under normal circumstances. Only when Harimoto Tomoshi's life is threatened does it fully protect its master, revealing itself.
Back when he caught the Dragon Bone Xie Yue barehanded, even Long Chen was fooled and thought this guy was really catching a blade barehanded.
This armor is an ancient divine weapon, whose forging techniques have long been lost. It is a family heirloom of Zhang Benzhi, having silently helped him slay countless powerful opponents. Even Heavenly Saints couldn't detect any flaws.
However, this secret weapon was forced by Long Chen to reveal its true form today. Seeing its armor, Long Chen suddenly understood.
"Ahem, ahem, not to mention anything else, this guy has a pretty good figure, with such long thighs." At that moment, Guo Ran's weak voice came from the crowd.
Just now, with the help of medical soldiers, Guo Ran had regained consciousness and immediately spotted Tomo Harimoto in a tight state.
"Your focus is really a bit abrupt." Xia Chen couldn't help but feel speechless. This guy actually pays attention to a man's thigh.
"Buzz!"
Just as Zhang Benzhi's phenomenon was bursting and blood gushed wildly, Long Chen thrust the Dragonbone Evil Moon forward fiercely, the sharp blade tip stabbing straight at Zhang Benzhi's chest.
At this moment, Zhang Benzhi was seriously injured. Seeing Long Chen thrust his blade toward him, he swung his large hand, and suddenly his arm flickered, leaving nothing behind.
Originally, Zhang Benzhi intended to summon a shield to block Long Chen's strike, but only then did he remember that his shield had already been destroyed by Long Chen.
At this point, it was too late to change his move. With a furious roar, he clasped his palms together and fiercely clamped at the charging Dragonbone Evil Moon. At this point, he had no choice left.
"Ss!"
Just as the Dragonbone Evil Moon was about to pierce Zhang Benzhi's chest, and his palm was about to clamp the Dragonbone Evil Moon, two sharp swords simultaneously tore through the void.
A sharp sword shot straight at Long Chen's back, aiming at the very spot he must rescue. At this moment, if Long Chen attacked Zhang Benzhi, he would surely be pierced through the heart by an arrow; if he changed tactics to meet the enemy, Zhang Benzhi would switch from defense to offense, delivering a fatal blow. Long Chen, who had held the advantage, suddenly found himself in a dilemma.
However, the sword that had ambushed Long Chen slashed toward the sky at the very instant of his slash, and this sword was unleashed almost simultaneously with the one attacking Long Chen.
This sword strike was unleashed by Yue Zifeng. The sword aura was like a rainbow, tearing through myriad paths. The moment the sword aura appeared, a blurry figure on the sky was forced out of its true form by the sword aura.
It turned out that above the sky screen, at some unknown time, a terrifying powerhouse had been hidden. At Long Chen's most critical moment, he launched a surprise attack, while Yue Zifeng unleashed a deadly sword strike at the very moment of his assault.
In an instant, the situation took a sudden turn and became utterly chaotic. Even Xia Chen, Bai Shishi, and the others didn't have time to react to this change. They wanted to do something, but were unable to do anything.
However, Long Chen ignored the sword from behind, and without hesitation, the Dragon Bone Xie Yue stabbed fiercely at Harimoto Chi, leaving no room for maneuver.
Long Chen trusted Yue Zifeng; he could entrust his life to his brothers without hesitation.
"Boom boom!"
At that moment, two explosions rang out simultaneously in the void. The expert who had ambushed Long Chen was ultimately forced to withdraw his attack to withstand Yue Zifeng's strike.
Long Chen didn't believe that in this world, under the same cultivation level, someone could ignore Yue Zifeng's attacks and attack others—unless that person had a death wish.
The second explosion was when the Dragonbone Evil Moon stabbed fiercely into Zhang Benzhi's body. On Zhang Benzhi's treasured armor, endless threads trembled, divine light flowed, and he unleashed a full defense against the Dragonbone Evil Moon's attack.
Zhang Benzhi truly deserved to be the top prodigy of the Celestial Clan; whether in terms of strength or combat experience, he was far beyond Yue Wuxu's abilities.
Before closing his palms, divine light surged between them, producing billions of invisible threads. When the Dragonbone Evil Moon passed between his palms, it severed those threads, but the Moon's power and speed were largely neutralized.
Originally, Long Chen's blade tip would have stabbed his chest before his hands could, but after this block, his hands caught the Dragonbone Evil Moon first.
"Pfft"
Even so, the blade of the Dragonbone Evil Moon had already pierced Harimoto Tomoshi's chest hard. Harimoto Tomo's chest collapsed, and his back bulged high.
What shocked Long Chen was that the Dragon Bone Evil Moon actually failed to pierce through Zhang Benzhi's body. Zhang Benzhi's treasured armor had an astonishing origin.
"There's a flaw! All his strength is concentrated in his chest. ... quickly!" Dragonbone Xie Yue shouted.
In fact, Long Chen also sensed something was wrong. The moment the blade tip stabbed Zhang Benzhi's chest, the dark gold soft armor on his limbs instantly became semi-transparent, as he heard Dragonbone Evil Moon's warning.
Long Chen twisted his blade, slicing past Tomo Harimoto's thigh as he was flying backward.
"Ah...
Harimoto screamed in agony. A thigh was sliced in half by Long Chen as easily as slicing a radish.
"His soft armor is incomplete—kill him!" Dragonbone Evil Moon shouted excitedly. With his armor damaged, his defense would drop rapidly. With one more strike, even if the soft armor didn't die, Tomo Harimoto would surely die.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen raised the Evil Moon Dragonbone in his hand, and suddenly a terrifying pressure enveloped him. Immediately after, a gritted and hellish roar rang out:
"Damn little beast, let's see who can help you today."
Immediately after, a blood-red war spear descended from the sky, stabbing fiercely at Long Chen. Before the spear even landed, the vast divine might of the Heavenly Saint swept across the heavens.
