The vanished figure appeared in the void. No one knew what had happened beneath the earth. Long Chen remained as he had been, but one side of Han Qianye's face was swollen high, blood dripping from his shoulder, and a chunk of flesh had been forcibly torn off.
"Han Qianye is injured." Bai Yingxue exclaimed in surprise.
The others saw it too. They kept observing Long Chen and confirming he wasn't hurt, all overjoyed. Only Mo Nian didn't look outside, but instead drew circles on the ground with a small stick, muttering:
"All the spotlight has been stolen, no one is paying attention to me. Poor, weak, helpless..."
Bai Yingxue and the others: "... The
scene Bai Yingxue and the others saw was also seen by other powerful figures in the distance. Their faces were filled with shock, and suddenly, a wave of fear surged in their hearts.
They were all allies of Brahma Pill Valley, and Long Chen was its arch-enemy. Long Chen was already so terrifying now—if he could grow stronger, would they still have a way out?
For a moment, they somewhat regretted participating in this Heavenly Fire Demon Domain, but once the bow is drawn, there's no turning back. The hatred had already formed and there was no room for reparation.
"Close combat is no different from courting death. That's my strongest skill." Long Chen looked at the furious Han Qianye and said.
Just now, the two were fighting close under the earth. Han Qianye had a high cultivation level, but his combat ability was really average. Perhaps because he had been in a high position for so long, his reaction speed had noticeably declined. After just a few moves, he was completely uncomfortable and charged out immediately.
Han Qianye gritted his teeth. Long Chen's attack, accompanied by a strange power, made it impossible for him to heal his wounds quickly. His face was swollen and uncomfortable, and it didn't look good.
"Buzz!"
Han Qianye opened his large hand, and a long staff appeared. As soon as it was unleashed, the entire Hantian Domain trembled.
"Boom!"
Han Qianye gripped his long staff without saying a word, smashing it at Long Chen. The moment he struck, the entire Hantian Domain trembled.
"Domain-Guarding Artifact?"
Bai Yingxuan exclaimed in surprise. The so-called domain-guarding artifact is one that binds the artifact to the fortune of a domain, allowing divine weapons to gain even stronger blessings.
Domain-Guarding Artifacts are extremely terrifying. With the blessing of a domain's fortune, their power can sometimes break limits, causing endless destruction and damage.
With the appearance of the domain-suppressing artifact in Han Qianye's hands, Bai Yingxuan's heart leapt into her throat. The power of this divine weapon was absolutely earth-shattering.
"Buzz!"
When Han Qianye drew his weapon, Long Chen opened his large hand, and the Dragonbone Evil Moon appeared in Long Chen's grasp. The moment he grasped the Dragonbone Evil Moon, Long Chen instantly felt a sense of a flesh-and-blood connection between them.
"It's so good to have you!"
Long Chen looked at the Dragonbone Evil Moon, feeling the violent energy within it. At that moment, Long Chen and the Dragonbone Evil Moon finally felt a faint unity of man and blade.
The Dragonbone Evil Moon became even stronger. Although it was still asleep, its instincts still allowed it to assist Long Chen in battle.
"Buzz"—Above the Evil Moon of the Dragon Bone,
seven runes lit up simultaneously. The seven Heaven-Opening Runes were instantly activated. Previously, it was extremely difficult for Long Chen to activate them, but now, it was as easy as breathing.
Han Qianye charged in, but Long Chen didn't even look at his moves. His blade shot skyward, swinging his blade with every strike.
Han Qianye made the first move, but Long Chen was like a rogue—no matter what move you used, I just slashed it once. If you have the guts, you'll die with me.
Han Qianye was clearly facing such a rogue move for the first time. Upon sensing the terrifying aura of the Dragonbone Evil Moon, he didn't dare to die together with Long Chen. The long staff switched from offense to defense, blocking Long Chen's blade head-on.
With a loud explosion, sparks flew. The entire Cold Heaven Domain roared and descended rapidly. Han Qianye grunted and was forced back by Long Chen's blade.
"You can't do it either! You still want to destroy my Lingxiao Academy just like this? Try my trick again. Long
Chen pointed his long blade toward the sky, endless stars swirling around him like a flowing galaxy, pouring into the Dragonbone Evil Moon. Starlight dotted the moon, auras surged, and sharp energy sliced through space and time.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen slashed down with his blade, like a pouring star river. The terrifying divine might firmly locked onto Han Qianye, allowing him to ascend to heaven and earth, unable to escape.
Han Qianye was locked onto and was shocked. He had actually been locked onto by a mere immortal realm kid, and from that single strike, he felt a threat of death.
"Frost Sky God-Sealing!"
Han Qianye roared. Suddenly, he threw the staff in his hand into the sky, formed hand seals in succession, and the earth exploded. A pair of giant hands appeared in the earth, the staff rapidly growing like pillars holding up the sky, grabbed with a raised hand, and stretched across the entire Cold Heaven Domain.
"Boom!"
Long Chen slashed the giant staff with his blade. With a loud explosion, the giant hand holding the staff shattered with a thunderous crash. Han Qianye beneath the staff spat out a mouthful of blood, being smashed away by the staff and rolling tens of thousands of miles away.
"Whoosh."
Long Chen pushed the Dragonbone Evil Moon against his shoulder. The familiar movement, the familiar posture. With the Dragonbone Evil Moon around, Long Chen felt so grounded. Perhaps only the Dragonbone Evil Moon could give him an endless sense of security.
Long Chen carried the Dragonbone Evil Moon, looking down at Han Qianye in the distance, pacing back and forth in the air:
"The lofty Brahma Heaven Pill Valley has always disregarded others' lives. So, now it's someone else's turn to decide your life and death. Have you experienced a different sensation?"
Han Qianye stared coldly at Long Chen, his eyes nearly shooting with fire. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life.
Long Chen looked at Han Qianye's angry face, a hint of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth as he said, "Angry?" Already angry? You Brahma Pill Valley have stirred up trouble everywhere, stirred up trouble, and killed countless people. Have you ever considered their wrath?
Fumo City was a fine city, but because it refused to submit to you, you wanted to destroy it, causing its people to be displaced and forcing the city lord to sacrifice his precious life to destroy it along with the ancestral divine weapon.
Do you know he just had a child, just saw hope for life? Do you know how much he wanted to live at that time? "
They're nothing but ants. Our Brahma Heaven Pill Valley has risen powerfully, yet they fail to see the truth. The Immortal Path competes: those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish. What's there to say?
Anyone who refuses to submit to our Brahma Heaven Pill Valley is a fool who has no eyes. Even if they aren't destroyed by us, they'll be swallowed up by other forces. If anyone is to blame, it's their own foolishness.
You're talking about Xing Wujiang, right? Heh, he's the worst of fools, deserving of his death. It's best not to let us find his family, or else ..." Han Qianye sneered.
Hearing Han Qianye's mockery, Long Chen's anger was instantly ignited.
"Then today you deserve to die."
Long Chen roared angrily, his blade surging like waves, transforming into a rainbow that soared across ten thousand miles, carrying endless killing intent as he charged toward Han Qianye.
