With a loud bang, Huo Qianwu didn't self-destruct. Instead, a rune on her body exploded, and countless threads, like a spiderweb, wrapped tightly around her.
"Stop! Don't stop me! I'm going to kill them... Huo Qianwu struggled wildly inside the spider web, but was soon entangled by it.
"Whoosh."
At that moment, Long Chen immediately sensed trouble. The Evil Moon Dragon Bone in his hand swiftly slashed toward Huo Qianwu.
However, Long Chen's strike actually passed directly through Huo Qianwu's body. The white spider web blurred her, leaving behind only a blur.
"Long Chen, you will pay the price for your foolish actions." At that moment, the Deputy Hall Master of the Fire God Hall spoke in a cold voice.
"Tch, do you think I was scared or something?" Facing the threat from the Vice Hall Master of the Fire God Hall, Long Chen sneered and said.
Long Chen was certain that the power of the Deputy Hall Master of the Fire God Hall could at most affect Huo Qianwu; otherwise, he would have already helped Huo Qianwu take action and eliminate him.
"We'll see,"
the Deputy Hall Master of the Fire God Hall snorted coldly, and Huo Qianwu's figure continued to fade into the void until it completely disappeared.
At that moment, Mo Nian's startled scream came from afar. Long Chen hurriedly turned to look, only to see that the chains in Mo Nian's hand had actually snapped. Mo Nian stood there like a fool, completely stunned.
Seeing this, Long Chen's head buzzed. Without thinking, he rushed toward the demon corpse.
"Long Chen, be careful, there's someone on that demon corpse." Mo Nian roared angrily and charged forward as well.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the demonic corpse spun slightly, its sky-covering wings sweeping across, sending Long Chen and Mo Nian flying like flies.
"Rumble...
The immense force pierced through the void. Long Chen and Mo Nian simultaneously spat out blood, crashing into the ground like meteors. The two plowed the earth into two chasms, flying tens of thousands of miles away.
"How could this be?" Long Chen cried out in alarm.
"Damn it, we chase geese all day, but today we got blinded by the geese. The mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind. We've been outsmarted." Mo Nian gritted his teeth.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a loud explosion rang out. The massive demon corpse trembled violently and suddenly kicked toward the two of them.
Traveling tens of thousands of miles, he stepped forward. The massive soles of his feet covered the sky, and a violent demonic might locked onto the two of them.
"What do we do now?"
This time, Long Chen panicked. This demon corpse was at stake in Xing Wujiang's life—there was no room for any mistakes.
"Find a way to take out that guy lurking on the demon corpse." Mo Nian said, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Always arrogant, he had actually been set up. After working so hard for so long, he was actually making a wedding dress for someone else to do so.
"Smack!"
Long Chen and Mo Nian simultaneously struck each other with their palms. The powerful recoil sent both of them flying backward.
"Boom!"
Just as the two were thrown out, the huge sole of their foot almost touched their bodies, shattering the ground with that kick.
"Attack!"
Long Chen and Mo Nian shouted simultaneously.
"Seven Star Battle Body, activate!"
Long Chen had exhausted his dragon blood power and immediately activated the Seven-Star Battle Body. Behind him, within the divine ring, a sea of stars flickered, and seven sun-like stars lit up, illuminating the sky.
Mo Nian also expanded the vision. Within his vision was a magnificent palace, with an ancient pine tree reaching into the sky. The pine was so vast that the phenomenon could not contain it, only a small part could be seen.
"Rumble... Long
Chen and Mo Nian stepped on the demon corpse's thigh, sprinting upward like two lightning bolts, reaching the demon corpse's knee in the blink of an eye.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, countless runes lit up on the demon corpse's legs. Long Chen and Mo Nian leapt up at the same time, following the runes and winding their way without touching them.
These runes were all imperial Dao runes. Even with Long Chen and Mo Nian's strength, if they collided with those runes, they would not be able to withstand them.
Their speed was surprisingly synchronized. Even with zodiac runes blocking their way, neither slowed down at all, instantly reaching the demon corpse's waist.
"Buzz!"
The demon corpse slapped its arms fiercely toward the two of them. At that moment, they happened to meet at the corpse's waist. Seeing the two palms coming in, they clashed again, using each other's strength to rapidly circle toward the corpse's abdomen.
"Boom!"
The demon corpse slammed both palms heavily at his waist, causing it to tremble as a halo burst forth from it.
Long Chen and Mo Nian almost simultaneously retreated, separating from the demon corpse's body. If they were lying on the demon corpse at this moment or getting too close, they would be blasted away by the immense force or even injured.
Long Chen and Mo Nian were battle-hardened veterans with incredibly rich experience and knew each other very well. Although they rarely fought together, their coordination was seamless.
"He's about to jump."
Long Chen saw the demon corpse's body slightly lower and immediately warned him.
"Leave it to me,"
Mo Nian opened his large hand, a longbow appeared, and an arrow shot out. The arrow was actually attached to a long rope.
Long Chen and Mo Nian grabbed the rope at the same time. Just as they grabbed it, a tremendous force suddenly swept through, sending them flying.
It turned out that Mo Nian's arrow was lodged under the demon corpse's armpit. It couldn't break through the corpse's defense, but it could firmly hold it in.
"Whoosh!"
The demon corpse's leap not only failed to shake Long Chen and Mo Nian off, but instead carried them onto the corpse's shoulders. When they jumped onto the corpse's shoulder, they finally saw a figure wearing a cloak and a silver mask.
"Human."
Long Chen and Mo Nian were stunned. Although the man wore a cloak and mask to conceal his aura, they could still sense that he was human.
"Friend, this demon corpse concerns the life of a friend of mine. I hope you will painfully let it go.
If you can part with it, I, Mo Nian, owe you a favor. In the future, I can return you an Imperial-level demon corpse, or whatever conditions you need, you can name them. Mo Nian looked at the masked figure and said.
"Who do you think you are? How much is your face worth? I'm going to take this demon corpse. You want to save Xing Wujiang? I am loyal and sentimental, but I don't have many hobbies; I just like watching others struggle on their deathbed. The
masked expert spoke. It was a man's voice—cold and proud, carrying an innate dominance, like a lofty deity, looking down at the ants on the ground.
Mo Nian suppressed his anger and said, "As a human, don't you know that if you break its seal like this, once this demon corpse is released, it will bring disaster to all living beings. Are humans the ones who die the most?" "
Are you deaf?" Or maybe my brain isn't enough. Didn't I say I just like to appreciate others when they're struggling on their deathbed? If I don't let them out, how can I appreciate them? The man wearing the silver mask said disdainfully.
Mo Nian took a deep breath. He had previously suppressed his anger, almost pleading, and negotiated with the other party—all for Xing Wujiang's sake.
But this easygoing and negotiable tone only brought humiliation and mockery. At that moment, Mo Nian's anger finally exploded.
"Then there's nothing more to say. Kill him."
Long Chen's Dragon Bone Evil Moon pointed at the man wearing the silver mask, his chilling killing intent instantly locking onto him.
