Long Chen slapped Xue Yingfeng across the face, knocking him down. He had clearly underestimated Long Chen, thinking he could catch him off guard in an instant. (Due to caching reasons, users are advised to visit the .\nCOM website directly in their browser to watch the fastest chapter updates.)
In fact, this Blood Hero Feng was extremely arrogant, self-righteous, and self-clever. While mocking Hou Tianwu, he was quietly channeling the power of the dragon vein, using domain power to lock onto a location near Long Chen, allowing him to teleport over and launch a surprise attack.
However, Long Chen had long seen through his little tricks. Still, when facing a master of Xue Yingfeng's level, killing moves were definitely unusable; otherwise, he would sense and give up the sneak attack.
Unable to destroy his physical body, Long Chen simply humiliated his soul. Long Chen gave his all with this slap, but the tremendous recoil force actually left his hand covered in blood.
Long Chen's slap felt like it struck granite; Xue Yingfeng's face cracked like a broken mask.
After the slap, Long Chen was both shocked and delighted. What shocked him was how terrifying Xue Yingfeng's crystal power was—even a full-force strike couldn't break through his defense.
The joy was that if they killed Xue Yingfeng and seized his Heavenly Dao Fruit, whether it was given to Li Qi or Song Mingyuan, they would immediately gain this heaven-defying ability.
Long Chen slapped Xue Yingfeng and knocked him down. His left hand, the Dragonbone Evil Moon, sliced through the longbow and slashed fiercely at Xue Yingfeng.
"Crack."
Long Chen slashed fiercely at Xue Yingfeng's head. The massive dragon bone evil moon nearly sliced through his entire head. But to everyone's shock, Xue Yingfeng remained completely unfazed. He roared and slammed both fists hard into Long Chen's chest.
Long Chen was also shocked; the head was not Xue Yingfeng's vital point—he had misjudged it.
Seeing crystal chunks surging on Xue Yingfeng's fists, as if wearing a pair of crystal gauntlets, seven streams of energy swirling on the crystals, converging the power of his seven heavenly veins. This strike possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth, and Long Chen dared not block it barehanded.
Dragonbone Evil Moon immediately retreated, blocking with his blade.
"Boom!"
Long Chen's arms trembled violently, blood spurting wildly. Xue Yingfeng's strike contained a lifetime of power, holding nothing back from the power of his seven life-bound heavenly veins. At this moment, the suppression of the dragon veins appeared.
Long Chen possessed five Heavenly Veins and Dragon Qi, which was mid-stage according to the Heavenly Saint Realm, while Xue Yingfeng had seven life-bound Heavenly Veins, which was late-stage. Mid-stage and late-stage were not just quantitative additions but qualitative changes.
This is also why, despite the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan and the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan being like fire and water, Xue Yingfeng dared to come alone—because he had already taken that step.
Xue Yingfeng pushed Long Chen back with both fists. His severed head instantly healed, as if he had been injured.
But Long Chen's slap drove him mad. He had lived his life with domineering power and invincibility. When had he ever suffered such humiliation, and it was witnessed by so many people? He was on the verge of losing his mind.
"Die!"
Xue Yingfeng roared, seven heavenly veins behind him burning with dragon energy, scorching flames erupting that instantly engulfed the world. Xue Yingfeng charged forward like a mad bull.
He had no weapons; his body was one. His entire body was covered in crystals, like a demon clad in crystal armor, charging at Long Chen with murderous intent.
"Then let's see who dies first."
Seeing Xue Yingfeng charging in like a madman, Long Chen was furious. Even if he had an advantage in realm, so what?
"Xie Yue, kill him for me!"
Long Chen roared in anger. The Dragonbone Evil Moon sprang high, the sea of stars swirling behind him, myriad paths roaring, and the sea of stars converged into a river of stars, pouring down toward the Dragonbone Evil Moon. The endless starry sky was completely poured into the Dragonbone Evil Moon.
"What?"
All the powerful figures present were horrified. At that moment, everyone felt their souls tremble, their scalps tingled, and a powerful threat of death loomed over everyone present.
Even a powerhouse of Hou Tianwu's level was shocked; he hadn't expected Long Chen to unleash such a terrifying ultimate move.
"Evil Moon Heaven-Shattering Slash!"
Long Chen roared. The Dragonbone Evil Moon, carrying all the power of his stars, slashed down fiercely. Long Chen had staked everything on this strike, just to take down this guy.
The previously frenzied Xue Yingfeng was now gone mad. Feeling the world-destroying will on the Evil Dragon Bone Moon, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Instead, he was now locked onto by the terrifying aura of the Moon, making escape impossible.
"Buzz!"
Xue Yingfeng suddenly retracted his head and limbs, transforming into a stone sphere about one zhang in diameter. On the sphere, seven dragon patterns converged, billions of crystals swirled. This creature had adopted absolute defense.
"Boom!"
The
Dragonbone Evil Moon slashed down like a heavenly blade, slashing fiercely into the stone sphere. With a loud explosion, the stone sphere exploded with a thunderous crash.
Endless crystals flew out, punching holes in the void, and the world instantly became riddled with holes.
"Pfft!"
The
stone sphere exploded, crystals flew, and a figure flew out in a sorry state. It was Xue Yingfeng, now in a sorry state, no longer possessing his previous dominance. With only half his body left, he ran and spat out blood.
"Not dead?"
Long Chen was both shocked and furious. He burned all his star power and fused it with the power of the Dragon Bone Evil Moon. This was his strongest strike so far, yet he still couldn't take down this guy.
"Red Dragon Battle Body—Open!"
Long Chen roared angrily, unleashing the power of dragon blood. The power of the stars was completely depleted, so he could only use the power of dragon blood.
"He still has strength."
The demon clan warriors were shocked. After repeatedly battling Hou Tianwu, the Golden-Winged Roc, and the Divine Turtle clan experts, Long Chen had crippled Xue Yingfeng with a single strike. Now, he still had strength.
The resonant dragon roar echoed through the world, but when Long Chen summoned the Red Dragon Battle Body, the ferocious dragon blood flowed within him like lava, and his dragon blood power became extremely violent.
Long Chen didn't know if this was because of the Emperor Dragon's reverse scale, but the current Dragon Blood Warrior was somewhat different from before.
But at this moment, Long Chen couldn't care about anything else anymore. He had to take down Xue Yingfeng—this guy's abilities were terrifying.
"Die."
Long Chen's dragon blood power erupted, and within the divine ring behind him, a giant dragon's claw fiercely slashed down at Xue Yingfeng.
Xue Yingfeng was both shocked and furious as Long Chen lunged at him with a claw. He had been severely injured by Long Chen and hadn't recovered yet, and now he couldn't block Long Chen's move at all.
"Human brat, don't be so arrogant."
"Buzz"
A tortoise shell shield appeared before Xue Yingfeng—it was once again a powerful member of the Divine Tortoise clan.
