The red-haired monster was about to withdraw its head from the barrier when a strike combining thunder and fire slammed hard into the red-haired monster's face.
"Boom!"
He wasn't sure whether the red-haired monster had been in seclusion for too long and his reactions had slowed, or if he was so arrogant that he didn't believe Long Chen could fight back. That strike landed squarely on Long Chen's face.
With a loud explosion, the red-haired monster's face was smashed to a bloody mess, unrecognizable, and it let out a thunderous roar.
Long Chen's thunderfire strike was terrifying; if it were any other immortal powerhouse, they would have died countless times already.
But the red-haired monster only had its face smashed and wasn't fatal. However, after such a heavy blow, its mind immediately scattered.
"Boom!"
Long Chen seized the opportunity to punch the barrier, which shattered with a thunderous crash, and Long Chen broke free in an instant.
"Die!"
The red-haired monster roared, his whole face like a persimmon smashed by a brick, unbearable to look at. He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, his chest glowing. Long Chen's scalp tingled instantly—he was locked onto.
"Buzz!"
As the red-haired monster roared, the demonic energy rapidly gathered into his body. The collar on his chest shattered, revealing a bony skeleton. On his chest, there was a protrusion resembling a horn, glowing as it aimed at Long Chen.
"Guo Ran!"
Long Chen shouted sharply. Guo Ran was already prepared, his battle blade crossed in front of him, standing before Long Chen. At the same time, all the Dragon Blood warriors summoned the Dragon Blood Phenomenon.
The resounding dragon's roar echoed across the sky. Long Chen summoned the Dragon Blood Battle Body, pressing his large hand on Guo Ran's back. All the dragon blood power was unreserved, pouring into Guo Ran's body.
"Yanmo Piercing the Sky!"
The red-haired monster roared, and a divine light pierced through the sky from its chest horn, carrying a world-shattering pressure as it shot toward Long Chen and the others.
With this strike, the world fell into deathly silence, not a sound could be heard, and the smell of death filled the air.
"Dragonblood Cross Slash!"
Guo Ran roared angrily. His armor absorbed the power of Long Chen and over five thousand Dragonblood warriors, gathering them into a single strike that shot out.
"Boom!"
The moment the two attacks collided, the world plunged into darkness. Immediately after, a speck of light the size of a sesame seed appeared in the darkness, rapidly expanding and instantly covering the entire world.
"Rumble rumble...
The earth was torn apart, the void split in two. Long Chen and the others felt their bodies tremble violently, an unstoppable force crushing over them. Long Chen even heard the sound of his own bones breaking.
Guo Ran and the others rolled out like a rolling gourd, rolling far away. Even the defenses set up by Xia Chen, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, Yu Qingxuan, and Bai Shishi were as fragile as paper.
As everyone flew out, they saw a figure ahead, standing motionless like a rock, resisting the terrifying force.
"Rumble...
Behind Long Chen appeared a pair of sky-covering wings. These wings were not Kunpeng wings, but a flame wing and a thunder wing.
They were the transformations of Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er, respectively. Only by working together could Long Chen steady himself and bear more power.
Long Chen couldn't retreat; he bore most of the pressure alone. Only by doing so could the Dragonblood warriors withdraw safely.
The red-haired monster's strike was terrifying, unimaginably terrifying. However, when Long Chen and the others combined their strike, it was equally sharp, fighting the red-haired monster evenly.
The red-haired monster was also knocked back by the terrifying force, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, the combined strike from Long Chen and the others had inflicted some damage on him.
"Buzz!"
Before he could recover from his shock, suddenly, a bronze cauldron roared through the void, smashing heavily onto his head.
With a loud "puff
," the red-haired monster's head was smashed to pieces by the bronze cauldron. Seeing this, the powerful beings of the Unmanned Realm were terrified out of their wits.
Long Chen held the bronze cauldron, his face pale. The thunder and flame wings behind him had vanished. This strike completely drained the strength of Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er, but he endured the terrifying pressure, seized the opportunity, and used the Qiankun Cauldron to shatter the red-haired monster's head.
However, after landing the first strike, Long Chen showed no sign of excitement. Instead, his expression changed dramatically, and he shouted loudly, calling everyone to flee.
Guo Ran and the others were just about to cheer, thinking they had finally won, but upon hearing Long Chen's order, they were momentarily stunned, then dashed out.
"Damn human brat, where are you running from!"
The red-haired monster had lost its head, yet it was still alive. Its aura hadn't changed, and its voice came from its body, filled with endless killing intent, chasing after Long Chen and the others.
"Is this a monster?"
Guo Ran screamed in terror. Without his head, it didn't affect the fight at all. What on earth was this?
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the bronze cauldron in Long Chen's hand glowed, and a divine beam shot toward the red-haired monster.
"Whoosh!"
The red-haired monster was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged.
"Bang!"
The divine light hit the ground, stirring up only a cloud of dust and lacking any real power.
Of course, it had no power left. Long Chen couldn't use the Qiankun Cauldron for attacks and could only use it as a hammer to smash people.
That attack was just Long Chen's conjugation, with no real power. However, the red-haired monster had just suffered a heavy blow and was so scared it hurriedly dodged, only to fall for a big trick.
Long Chen and the others took the opportunity to dash far away. The red-haired monster was furious, realizing it had been tricked, and with several flashes, it chased after them again.
The red-haired monster moved at incredible speed, as if teleporting between heaven and earth, catching up in just a few breaths.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen wielded the Qiankun Cauldron and sent another beam of golden light flying toward him. The red-haired monster dodged once more, but this time he was tricked again—the attack was still a fake.
"Idiot, what are you dodging for? What a useless fool. Long Chen ran while cursing at the red-haired monster.
His curse shocked and angered the red-haired monster, and at the same time, it became suspicious. He felt Long Chen must have an even stronger ultimate move.
The first two were deliberate tests. If he stopped dodging, Long Chen's ultimate might have really been unleashed. Otherwise, Long Chen wouldn't have looked so flustered.
The red-haired monster approached several times, only to be scared off by Long Chen several times. Each time it retreated, Long Chen mocked it a bit.
However, after several attempts, the red-haired monster finally became suspicious: was he just bluffing?
"Whoosh"
This time, when Long Chen raised the Qiankun Cauldron, the red-haired monster didn't dodge but charged straight forward.
But Long Chen's divine light still materialized. He snorted coldly:
"Cunning humans, die!"
The red-haired monster swept across the sky with its claws, pressing down like a dome.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, a sword aura shot out, piercing his palm and interrupting his ultimate move—it was Yue Zifeng who had made his move.
"Zifeng, well done."
Long Chen shouted excitedly. Yue Zifeng's strike came at just the right moment, with precise control down to the finest detail.
"Boom!"
At that moment, the gate appeared ahead, and everyone rushed through it in an instant to Nieying Heaven.
"Damn you, do you think you can escape?"
The red-haired monster also rushed out of the gate, punching the sky with a punch that smashed toward Long Chen and the others, determined not to stop until they were killed.
"Boom!"
At the very moment he struck, a black dragon claw pierced through the sky and struck his fist.
"Nie Yingtian, this is not a place for you to act wildly."
The Hall Master's domineering voice echoed across the sky.
