—the head rolled onto the ground, and immediately after, Yue Zifeng's figure appeared before everyone.
"Zifeng is impressive!"
Xia Chen and the others exclaimed in surprise. Previously, when Zhang Benzhi attacked Long Chen, a terrifying assassin had ambushed him at a critical moment.
It was Yue Zifeng who intervened and blocked the attack, but the assassin missed his first strike and, seeing the situation was turning bad, immediately fled. Yet Yue Zifeng refused to let him go and chased after him directly.
Now that the battle is over, Yue Zifeng returns carrying a head. In a one-on-one situation, he chases down an assassin and slays him—truly too powerful.
You have to know, that assassin's aura was on par with Zhang Benzhi's, both of that level of master, yet he became the soul of Yue Zifeng's sword.
You have to know, assassins are best at escaping, yet they can't escape Yue Zifeng's pursuit, showing just how formidable Yue Zifeng is.
"He's very strong. His counterattack before dying almost cost me my life." Yue Zifeng shook his head and said.
It turned out that Yue Zifeng had chased him out, knowing the situation was urgent and striving for a quick victory. That assassin was extremely formidable, fighting desperately and using the Blood Sacrifice technique, nearly killing Yue Zifeng. Thinking back now, Yue Zifeng couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.
"Anyway, it's good that you're back." Long Chen patted Yue Zifeng on the shoulder and said. Long Chen knew that as a peerless sword cultivator, Yue Zifeng was usually so calm it was almost frightening.
The reason for making such a mistake was to worry about everyone's safety. Impatience is a major taboo for sword cultivators, but the safety of Long Chen and the others was more important than his own lives, so naturally, he couldn't stay calm.
That assassin was extremely terrifying. If he wasn't killed, at a critical moment he might launch a sneak attack, anyone except Yue Zifeng and Long Chen could be killed in one strike. Therefore, Yue Zifeng had to take him down.
"Bang!"
Long Chen kicked the head, blood gushing out. Smelling the scent of blood, Long Chen curled his lip and said, "
Another Fate-Hunter clan guy—they really are like ghosts that won't leave!"
The blood of the Fate-Hunting Clan carries a special aura, which Long Chen is extremely sensitive to and easily recognizes.
"Boss, found it."
At that moment, a Dragonblood Warrior shouted excitedly. They had been searching this land nonstop earlier, and now one of them stood on a high ground. The hill was covered with jagged rocks, and hidden was a stone platform resembling an altar.
The stone platform was oval-shaped, a natural boulder, with grayish-brown patterns on its surface. Long Chen hurried inside, overjoyed—this was exactly what Bai Shishi's mother had instructed.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen placed the scabbard of the Lingxiao Divine Sword on the stone platform. The scabbard exploded with a thunderous crash, turning into a shower of light.
"This ..."
Seeing the sword scabbard shatter, Xia Chen and the others were shocked. The scabbard of the Lingxiao Divine Sword had actually shattered?
"Don't panic, this sword scabbard isn't a real sword sheath, but a dharma body condensed from the Lingxiao Divine Sword, carrying the sword's aura and will.
Therefore, they had to gather the dean to fool the other side's spying eyes. That way, they would immediately launch an attack over there, and the dean would personally host them. Long Chen chuckled.
"Buzz buzz buzz... The
giant stone was still glowing. Long Chen continued, "But the Dharma body of this Lingxiao Divine Sword carries the power of Lingxiao Academy's fortune, so here it can activate the luck of this branch lineage."
Soon, the dean will arrive with everyone. Hehe, although it was a bit thrilling, the mission was finally completed. The
boulder kept flickering, the aura of death across the world was being dispelled by a sacred force, and the surrounding barren mountains were visibly regaining vitality.
"Roar..."
At that moment, a furious roar echoed, and Long Chen finally remembered the demon lord who had been trapped by Bai Shishi.
Long Chen and the others walked up to the Demon Lord. By now, it was already on the verge of death, but its face was still twisted and twisted, as if it was ready to bite.
"Is this guy not as strong as I imagined?" Bai Xiaole looked at the Demon Lord and couldn't help but say.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "This guy is very strong, but because he fought fiercely with the Vice Hall Master, both sides were wounded. His wounds hadn't healed before we showed up."
But these monsters aren't very smart; when threatened, they immediately fight back desperately, not knowing how to buy time to heal. Long
Chen said this to warn Bai Xiaole not to take these monsters lightly; their terrifying nature can sometimes be beyond imagination.
This demon lord was severely injured, so many of his divine powers couldn't be used, and they only benefited from it.
"Pfft!"
The Dragonbone Evil Moon pierced the Demon Lord's chest. Suddenly, the Demon Lord let out a piercing scream, his whole body convulsing uncontrollably, as if enduring endless pain.
On the Evil Moon of the Dragon Bone, black mist swirled, and the Demon Lord's body shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually forming a dried corpse.
"So satisfying,"
Dragonbone Xie Yue uttered with satisfaction, feeling happier than ever.
Long Chen threw the dried corpse into the chaotic space, but to his disappointment, the essence of the corpse had already been drained by the Dragon Bone Evil Moon. After decomposition, the life energy released was not very impressive.
"Don't feel sorry. Absorbing the energy of a Heavenly Saint expert is to activate a blocked meridian within me. Once that meridian is opened, I won't need this thing anymore." Longgu Xie Yue said.
"Tch, am I the kind of stingy person I am?" Huh? Wait, what did you say? Channels? Does your body have meridians? "Long Chen was startled. The weapon actually had a vein?
"The context I'm talking about is completely different from what you understand. To put it this way, I don't really know much about my body.
But I know it possesses power beyond our imagination, yet I am like a beggar guarding a treasure vault.
Its energy is like the ocean; the power I can currently control is nothing more than a ditch.
But although it was a ditch, it was connected to the sea; the only difference was there a barrier between the ditch and the sea.
But by absorbing the power of Heavenly Saint experts and divine weapons, I can loosen the blocked areas. It's a bit like how you humans open up their meridians. "Dragon Bone Evil Moon explained.
Wow, it seems Dragonbone Evil Moon's body is truly extraordinary. At the same time, Long Chen remembered that the Qiankun Cauldron had once asked Dragonbone Evil Moon if he recognized it. Now, recalling it must have a deeper meaning.
"Boss, boss, found it!"
At that moment, Xia Chen's excited cheers drew Long Chen over. Long Chen hurried toward him, only to find Xia Chen in a huge pit, holding a palm-sized piece of white jade, his face full of excitement.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, cracks covered the white jade, and immediately afterA world-destroying aura radiated from the white jade. At that moment, Long Chen's expression changed dramatically:
"It's about to explode."
