"Damn humans, I'm going to kill you..."
The man who had been sent flying by Long Chen's slap was forcibly awakened from his meditative state.
Long Chen's slap wasn't very powerful, and he never intended to kill him with a single blow. Long Chen only wanted to free up space without damaging the formation.
At this moment, Long Chen sat at the center of the altar, his divine ring covering the sky, stars shining across the world, like a whale sucking water, madly devouring the energy of heaven and earth. His speed was countless times faster than that man's.
"Lord Tiantong, please calm down. Maintain the fluctuations of the Heavenly Vein's power. Do not let the dragon energy of the ninth vein dissipate..."
Seeing the man furious, an Eight-Vein Heavenly Saint shouted urgently. Tiantong was still in its advancement state. Although interrupted, as long as it stabilized, it still had a chance to condense further.
"Lord Tiantong, please wait a moment. Let us kill this group of foolish humans!"
Another Eight-Vein Heavenly Saint shouted as well, charging toward Long Chen like lightning. The four Eight Veins Heavenly Saints immediately attacked him, determined to kill him and make him give up his position.
"Boom boom!"
Two explosions rang out as a long spear tore through the air, its sharp tip aimed directly at their vital points. The two had no choice but to free their hands to defend. With two explosions, the two powerful figures were almost instantly sent flying by Su Yu.
Su Yu's aura was much stronger than those of these four. Although they were both Eight Meridian Heavenly Saints, their pressure was much more solid.
It was unclear whether the four had contributed too much primordial power, causing their strength to decline. Even after burning the power of the Heavenly Vein, they still weren't a match for Su Yu.
But after attacking the two men, Su Yu's assault slowed down and he was no longer able to pursue the remaining two.
"Rumble...
But at that moment, the Eighth Squad Leader charged in. They unleashed their full power, risking their lives to form a human wall to block the two of them. But after a few moves, their defenses were broken through.
It wasn't that they weren't brave enough, but the gap in strength between the Seven-Vein Heavenly Saint and the Eight-Vein Heavenly Saint was too great, and they had already done their best.
At this moment, Su Yu was entangled by two other Eight-Vein Heavenly Saints and unable to come to help. Seeing someone charging at Long Chen, he couldn't help but shout loudly:
"...
Long Chen, watch out!"
At this moment, Long Chen was focused on absorbing the power of heaven and earth, seemingly unaware of the dangers outside. It was as if he had entrusted his entire life to them.
"Buzz!"
The Eight Veins Heavenly Saint wielded a demonic sword and fiercely slashed at Long Chen's head. Seeing Long Chen about to die under the demonic sword, Su Yu panicked and suddenly dropped his spear.
With a loud bang, just as the demon sword was only three inches from Long Chen's head, the spear sent the sword flying, and the demon clan's Eight Veins Heavenly Saint was also carried away.
"Kill this woman!"
Seeing Su Yu without weapons, the two demon clan experts shouted at the same time, wielding demonic blades and charging at Su Yu.
"Rumble rumble...
At that moment, the powerful warriors of the Southern Alliance charged desperately, forming a humanoid torrent that charged fiercely at them.
Tens of thousands of Six-Vein Heavenly Saints combined their forces to strike, their strength condensing into a single rope. The violent force startled the two Eight-Vein Heavenly Saints, who were immediately forced back several steps.
"Smack!"
The
crowd's assault gave Su Yu an opportunity. The spear flew back into his hand, instantly resolving the crisis.
"Boom boom boom...
Su Yu gripped his spear, his fighting spirit soaring. He fought two Eight Veins Heavenly Saints alone, while other experts gathered to rush toward the Eighth Captain to support them.
It must be said, the Southern Alliance's experts were extremely experienced in battle, fearless and extremely brave. Working together, they instantly switched formations, heavily surrounding Long Chen, while the four Eight Veins Heavenly Saints were gradually forced off the altar.
Seeing this, the man named Tiantong panicked and roared, "Give it your all! Kill them all! Hurry ...!"
The man named Tiantong had the most terrifying aura, but he didn't dare to make a move, because his ninth Heavenly Vein dragon energy was still in its budding stage, not yet fully formed. If he used his power, it would easily collapse the ninth vein's dragon energy.
He had to understand, he had exhausted all his efforts for the ninth Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi—he absolutely could not afford to fail.
At this moment, Long Chen was frantically devouring the energy of heaven and earth. The power of the heavenly veins above the nine heavens was rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the immortal energy surging beneath the altar gradually dissipated, and even the runes on the altar began to fade quickly.
Tiantong would take several days to absorb all its power. Judging by the situation, it would be drained in less than half an incense stick's time.
"Rumble rumble...
Su Yu charged madly, fighting two opponents at once, fighting desperately every move, forcing the two powerful fighters to retreat repeatedly.
Half of the eight squad leaders were already wounded and covered in blood. The four of them faced one of them, all with moves meant to perish together, yet the eight managed to block two Eight-Vein Heavenly Saints by sheer force.
The demon army filled the sky, charging wildly under Tiantong's command. But at this moment, the demon warriors were like headless flies, attacking recklessly. This was when the importance of formation became clear.
No matter how fiercely they charged, they could never break through the defenses formed by the Southern Alliance. To make matters worse, they even disrupted the attacks of the top demon clan experts, slowing their rhythm.
The man named Tiantong was now furious, watching as Long Chen absorbed endless energy and unable to reclaim that position. The remaining strength was no longer enough for him to condense a complete ninth dragon vein.
"Damn humans, ruining Tiantong's good deeds, none of you will survive!"
Sha Tongtian roared angrily. He could no longer hold back. He had to reclaim his position, even at the risk of the Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi shattering, he had to act. Otherwise, it would truly be too late.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the void trembled, space tore apart, and a serrated long blade tore through the void, slashing with boundless demonic energy. Su Yu hurriedly blocked it.
Su Yu's arms shook violently, his spear slipping from his grip and flying away. At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and was sent flying backward.
"Sister Su Yu..."
No
one expected that this Sha Tiantong was so terrifying. In the state of burning Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi, Su Yu couldn't withstand a single move from him.
"Don't worry about me. Hold on to Long Chen. As long as he absorbs enough of the power of heaven and earth, he won't be able to condense the Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi—he'll fail too!"
The strong warriors of the Southern Alliance, seeing Su Yu injured, rushed over to help, their formation thrown into chaos, and they shouted anxiously.
Their goal was to destroy the Killing Tiantong and advance to the Nine Veins Heavenly SaintSince Long Chen had this ability, they had to fully support him. Even if it meant death, they absolutely could not let the Nine Veins Heavenly Saint appear among the demon clan first.
"Die!"
Seeing that at this moment, still thinking about stopping him, Sha Tiantong's face twisted as he slashed down with his serrated long blade in midair. On the blade, faint traces of nine strands of Heavenly Vein dragon energy appeared. At this moment, he was no longer an ordinary Eight-Meridian Heavenly Saint; half of his foot had already stepped into the realm of the Nine Meridian Heavenly Saint.
"Sister Su Yu...
Seeing Su Yu about to die under the demonic blade, the strong figures of the Southern Alliance were furious, but no one could save her; they could only watch as she died.
"Buzz"
But at that moment, the spear that had been knocked away shimmered with stars and smashed fiercely toward the demonic blade.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, Sha Tiantong grunted and was sent flying backward by the spear.
"What?"
The sudden turn of events shocked everyone.
